"Carl Cooper!"

Professor McGonagall's growl could be heard in the hallways.

In her pajamas, Professor McGonagall never had a look on her face like she did today.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, she was awakened by a sharp knock on the door.

Opening the door, Filch stood in the doorway clutching Carl's wrist.

After some explanation, Professor McGonagall finally understood what was happening.

She immediately went mad with rage, and her face was frighteningly blue.

"Beat up the school staff! I've never had anything like this happen in all my years at Hogwarts!"

Professor McGonagall was so angry that her body trembled.

"Carl Cooper! How dare you?!"

On the side, Filch immediately said, "Professor!

Professor McGonagall didn't look at him, she kept staring at Carl, who couldn't stop shaking, raised her little pale face, and blinked at her.

Professor McGonagall's heart softened, and she turned away from Carl and said loudly, "Lockdown!

Filch had an incredulous look on his face.

"Professor! This punishment is too light! He should be expelled from school!"

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, looked at Filch, and said with a grim face, "I've let him get the punishment he deserves, and that's the end of it!"

"But, Professor!" Filch looked aggrieved.

"Now, get out!" Professor McGonagall said as she looked at him, her face blank.

Filch opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say.

For a long time, he seemed to finally understand something, and dragged his old body out of Professor McGonagall's office step by step.

Now, only Karl and Professor McGonagall are left in the office.

"Carl, why are you hitting Filch?" Professor McGonagall stared at Carl with a frost on her face.

"Professor, Mr. Filch was so painful to scratch me that I couldn't help but punch him, and you see, he scratched my wrists. ”

As he spoke, Karl raised his arm, and there was a ring of bruises on his white wrist.

Professor McGonagall's lips were not as tight as they had been.

"Then why did you come out so late?"

"Professor, I can't sleep at night, the second-year class is too simple, but you won't let me go to the senior class to audit. ”

"You kid. Professor McGonagall sighed.

She patted Carl on the head.

"This month, you can come to my office every night to do your homework. ”

"Now, go back to sleep!"

......

The next day, Carl sat in the auditorium for breakfast as usual, and not far away, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were whispering something.

"You've got to go and say thank you to him. ”

"Why don't you go?"

"Yesterday's events were all because of you! And I swore I would never talk to him!"

"Come on, you've had a few words with him yesterday!"

"That's a special case!"

The three of them argued for a while, and eventually, Harry and Ron stood up and walked slowly towards Cal.

However, before the two arrived, Snape stood in front of Carl.

"Follow me. ”

With that, turn around and leave.

Carl had to follow.

The two of them went to a dark-sheltered corner outside the auditorium.

Snape turned and stared coldly at Karl.

"What were you doing in the hallway last night?" Filch said he caught you. ”

"I can't sleep, I come out to breathe. Karl said with a shrug.

"He said you hit him!" Snape's face grew darker.

"Professor McGonagall has already punished me for this. Karl said.

"Professor, I think you're too lenient!"

"Five points for Gryffindor against the teacher!" Snape exclaimed.

He stared into Carl's eyes, as if trying to see something in Karl's eyes, but he was disappointed.

"I'll keep an eye on you, Cooper!"

With that, he turned and left.

Looking at Snape's back, Karl was unimpressed.

It seems that he is under suspicion.

Sure enough, even in Dumbledore's absence, Snape stayed behind to guard the Philosopher's Stone.

He returned to the Great Hall again, where Harry and Ron were already waiting for him in his place.

"Hey, Carl, that ......" Harry opened his mouth and thought for a long time, "I mean, thank you yesterday." ”

Ron nodded hurriedly, "Yes, thanks to you yesterday, otherwise ......"

"I'm so sorry you caused you to lock us up. Harry added.

Carl smiled at the two of them, "It's okay, Professor McGonagall is a very nice person, she didn't bother me much. ”

Harry and Ron immediately looked strange and secretly slandered in their hearts, and only you would say that.

Only two weeks into the school year, Karl's prestige had already reached their ears.

This is the only Gryffindor in the whole of Gryffindor who can take time off from Professor McGonagall.

"By the way, and Hermione," Harry glanced back, as if remembering something.

Not far away, Hermione was sitting casually eating her breakfast, just glancing over her eyes from time to time.

"Uh...... She also asked us to say thank you on her behalf, and she said she swore not to talk to you, so let us pass it on on her behalf. ”

And this kind of operation?

Carl glanced at the girl and said helplessly, "Then you help me tell her, no thanks." ”

"Humph!"

Harry and Ron didn't have time to say anything, and not far away, Hermione let out a heavy nasal sound, put down the spoon in her hand, picked up the stack of books on the table, and walked away with her head held high.

She swore not to talk to Carl and did what she said!

......

"Carl! You've been named Rookie of the Year by Transfiguration Today!"

With a "snap", Hermione slapped a copy of Transfiguration Today magazine on the table in front of Carl with excitement on her face.

At this time, Carl was reading a book in the library.

"yes, yes. Carl reluctantly said that he had only received the news this morning, and he didn't expect the papers he had sent last year to have such a big effect.

Transfiguration Today's Most Promising Newcomer Award is given to a Hogwarts student who is particularly good at Transfiguration.

"I can't believe it, Carl!" Hermione said gleefully.

"In class the other day, Professor McGonagall said she had it when she was young, but I didn't expect you to ...... too"

"yes, yes," Carl nodded, "I posted a few articles last semester when I was idle. ”

Then, as if remembering something, he turned to look at Hermione and wondered, "By the way, listening to Harry and Ron, didn't you swear not to talk to me?"

Suddenly, the smile on Hermione's face froze.

opened his mouth, but he didn't spit out half a word for a long time.

After a while, her face changed, and she no longer had the smile she had before.

She glanced at Carl contemptuously, then snorted heavily, grabbed the magazine in front of Carl, and walked away on his toes.
