Chapter 14: Punishment? inexistent
In the faculty lounge, Professor McGonagall frowned, and Snape had the same dead fish-eyes + paralyzed face as before. Umlich gritted her teeth, but on closer inspection, there was a faint worry and fear between her eyebrows.
And the person who caused all this was standing opposite them at this time, with a harmless face and a quiet smile on her face.
Yes, Daphany was interviewed by the leaders of the academy, and the specifications are quite high! Prof. McGonagall, Vice-Chancellor and Head of Gryffindor, and her own Head of School, Snape, and Umlich. The reason for the interview, of course, is the previous petrification of Umlich in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class!
That class was Umlich's third class of the day. The first two quarters went well, giving Umlich the illusion that mastering Hogwarts was actually easy. In the third period, there were expected thorns Harry and Daphany, so there might be a little twists and turns, which Umlich had also been prepared for. But what I didn't expect was that Daphany was so tough! Unexpectedly, Daphany's strength was so strong that she didn't expect.
Hiding back in his office, Umlich reminisced about the situation. Not to mention that after his magic is broken by the opponent's petrification spell, he can completely petrify himself. That flicker of magic had scared her out of the way! Umbridge didn't have a particularly clear definition of her magic level, and there was no way, she was still young when Voldemort was rampant thirteen years ago, and the wizarding world was peaceful for a long time after Voldemort's silence. During this period, there has been no chance to fight, and there are a group of guys who are also attached to Fudge and have no skills. With these guys in the background, Umlich has always felt that his level is still very high.
Of course, Umlich's level of magic is actually quite good among ordinary wizards. If you go to the Auror test, you can probably pass it. But compared with the real elite, the gap is still obvious.
Umlich didn't know any of this, she thought she was strong, so she felt she should show a strong stance. But this kind of strength turned out to be vulnerable in the face of Daphany's counterattack! This made her angry, but also a little panicked in her heart.
"Miss Lestranzi, do you have anything to explain?" Snape was the first to speak, and it stands to reason that as a dean, he should take care of the students of his house, especially Daphany's appearance......
But this Daphany and that damn Potter were so close. Although it was clearly not that kind of relationship, it still reminded Snape of bad memories of his school days.
"I don't understand what you mean, Dean!" Daphany grinned.
"Miss Lestranzi, your attitude doesn't look like you're admitting your mistake!" Professor McGonagall frowned slightly.
"Admit your mistake?" Daphany gave a contrived look of surprise, "I don't understand what you mean, Professor McGonagall!" ”
At this time, it was already the second afternoon after the second class of the second day after the incident. It is said that the Defence Against the Dark Arts class was not in class all day today. Daphany was brought here by Snape after her last lesson.
"You petrified Professor Umlich in Defence Against the Dark Arts class yesterday, didn't you?" Snape asked in that tone of indifference, without a hint of warmth.
"Well, that's what happened!" Daphany nodded, even smiling at Umlich. The latter's face suddenly became even more ugly.
"And what are you arguing about?" Seeing Daphine admit it calmly, Snape was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a low voice.
"I don't understand what you mean, Dean!" Daphany was unmoved, and the expression on her face did not change: "Is there anything wrong?" ”
What's wrong? You petrified a professor in class and asked what's wrong?
Snape and Professor McGonagall almost had their noses crooked, let alone Umlich. She wanted to rush up and rip off Daphany's smirkling face.
"Miss Lestrants!" Professor McGonagall accentuated, "You know, you petrified a professor in class!" ”
"Yes, Professor McGonagall!" Daphany smiled and nodded, "Is there anything wrong?" ”
"Of course not, very inappropriate!" Professor McGonagall is also a bit broken, why is there such a bear child? She took a deep breath: "You know that you are a student, and Professor Umlich is a professor who imparts knowledge?" ”
"Huh? Imparting knowledge? What can Professor Umlich teach? Reading? I think any Squib or even a Muggle can do this, and you don't need to go to Hogwarts to learn it! Daphany finally restrained the smile that seemed extremely well-behaved, but made the three of them uncomfortable, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of her mouth were hooked, and she almost didn't write the word contempt on her face.
"But that's not a reason for you to attack the professor!" Professor Snape said indifferently.
"Attack? Not really! Daphany smiled flirtatiously, "That's a duel!" I just fairly defeated Professor Umlich in a duel! ”
"I didn't have any duel with you!" Umlich spoke for the first time tonight and lifted up with some hysteria.
"Oh? So, why did Professor Umlich use magic on me? Daphine asked dismissively.
"Well, that's just a punishment!" Umlich's voice suddenly lowered a lot.
"Hogwarts strictly disciplines students for using any magic!" Daphany chuckled back.
"That's, that's because you got out of your seat first!" Umlich argued.
"There is nothing in Hogwarts rules that prohibit students from leaving the classroom during class!" Daphany still chuckled, her eyes full of disdain.
The people who have the deepest understanding of the law are the ones who want to take advantage of the loopholes in the law. Daphany, a person who has been hovering on the edge of the school rules for a long time, has long understood the school rules clearly.
Indeed, there is nothing in the Hogwarts rules that does not allow students to leave the classroom. But does this thing still need to be marked with school rules? Isn't that a matter of course?
Is it taken for granted? Apparently yes. But I'm sorry, it's feasible if the law doesn't prohibit it! It doesn't matter how conventional you are, no rules are no rules!
In fact, it is true that something like this has happened before. Hermione, for example, left in her third-year divination class.
The three professors didn't even know what to say for a while.
"I'll report it to the Ministry of Magic!" Umlich almost gritted his teeth and said, "This one will be added soon!" You're breaking the school rules! ”
"Professor Umlich doesn't seem to have any legal knowledge!" The contempt on Daphany's face became even heavier: "Whether it is ordinary people or the wizarding world, legislation is not retroactive! This is the principle of legislation! You don't even understand this? ”
Umlich stammered, and it was not unclear that she was not aware of this principle, but she had not remembered it in time.
"And," Daphine's words were not finished, "as the majority shareholder of Hogwarts!" Hogwarts' rules must be made in such a way that the principle of interest avoidance is enacted, that is, no rules can be erected that directly affect the interests of me and other major shareholders! ”
Umlich now feels nauseous and wants to throw up. How could there be such a troublesome student? said one by one, and he is especially the majority shareholder of the school!
The principle of protecting the interests of major shareholders is beyond doubt! Several of the major shareholders behind Hogwarts are some of the most important forces in the British wizarding world! There is absolutely no way they will give in!
This is very reasonable, but the unreasonable part is how can a student who is still in school become a major shareholder.
The three professors were speechless for a moment, and Daphany looked left and right, then grinned, "Three professors, is there anything else?" If not, I'll go back, and there's still a lot of homework! ”
Professor McGonagall and Snape both looked at Umlich, and Umlich looked at Daphany through gritted teeth, "Is this the end of it?" ”
"Otherwise, what is Professor Umlich going to do? I wouldn't mind giving you another chance if you wanted to! Well, Professor, you're a Slytherin graduate too, right? We can do it the traditional Slytherin way! ”
The Slytherin tradition is actually the usual tradition of the wizarding world, whoever has the biggest fist is justified!
Umlich suddenly stopped talking. Beat? What are you kidding, what are you going to do with an opponent who can magically flash you? If you win, there will be ghosts.
Umlich didn't speak, and neither did Professor McGonagall and Snape.
Daphine stared at her for a few seconds, then smiled, but said to Snape and Professor McGonagall, "Dean, Professor McGonagall, do you two have anything else?" ”
The two of them didn't care about it when Umlich didn't dare to meet Daphany's challenge. What can a professor say in the face of a student's challenge that he does not dare to fight? Snape, in particular, looked at Umlich with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"All right, Miss Lestranz!" Professor McGonagall was still trying to save face for Umlich and did not speak. Snape didn't care about her attitude anymore: "Go ahead, don't delay the rest of your homework!" ”
The meaning of this is that Defense Against the Dark Arts is just that.
Daphany put on her well-behaved face again, bowed slightly, and then turned to leave.
It wasn't until the door closed that Umlich suddenly screamed again: "Is that all?" How dare a student be so arrogant? ”
"If Your Excellency had such an attitude before Miss Lestranzi's departure, she probably wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant!" Snape sneered. Umlich's face instantly became the same as her clothes - she wore another bright red dress today.
"Such a student should be expelled!" Umlich said fiercely. But her voice was a bit low, and it was obviously impractical to have a school expel its manager.
"Hogwarts is a school, not an administration of the Ministry of Magic!" Professor McGonagall didn't want to continue messing around with Umlich, and said coldly, "In principle, as long as a student doesn't violate the school rules and passes the exam, we can't expel him." In fact, judging by Miss Lestranz's past performance, this year's . LS exam results, I'm still looking forward to it! ”
With that, Professor McGonagall and Snape left the staff lounge, leaving behind a bulging cheek like an inflatable toad.
On the other side, as soon as Daphany arrived in the auditorium, a large group of students gathered around, asking about the situation. The total mention is just a sentence, whether there is any punishment received.
Daphine stands proudly and chases me? Inexistent!
