Chapter XXXVII

"Oh" Mu Yan didn't look up, and continued to immerse himself in the ocean of knowledge.

Harry: "......"

He suddenly felt a little stupid, why did he say this to Mu Yan, these things may not be as good as the two lines of notes in the book to him.

Then he felt a little ashamed, because Mu Yan didn't take this matter to heart at all, but he immediately questioned the friendship between the two.

And then ...... It's embarrassing, what should I say now......

This is not the first time he has encountered this situation, or every time he is with Mu Yan, he will encounter such a situation, but although he has encountered it so many times, after such a long time, he still can't get used to this kind of cold field that kills all topics in the cradle anytime and anywhere.

He knew that Mu Yan was very indifferent to these gossip things, but he really couldn't find anything else to talk about!

Talk to him about charms? Harry knew that Mu Yan had been busy with this for a while, but could that kind of thing be like gossip?

Hermione could still have a few words with Mu Yan in this regard, but Harry could also see that most of the time Mu Yan was explaining to Hermione unilaterally, although Hermione always came with the intention of discussing with each other.

For Harry, Hermione was already a high-ranking scholar, and as for Mu Yan, Harry probably wouldn't be too surprised if news came one day that he had overthrown a professor, after all, in his mind, they were no longer on the same level!

Sometimes he really felt that it was really incredible that he could become friends with Mu Yan.

So what to say now?

It may not be good in front of others, but Harry always can't help but feel a little nervous when facing Mu Yan, and that feeling is like facing Snape.

That's right!

Harry patted his head: "Mu Yan, do you know what, Professor Lockhart has resigned!" ”

Well?

Mu Yan raised his head and looked at him.

"Professor Lockhart is said to have not been to the first grade Defence Against the Dark Arts class this morning, and Professor McGonagall found nothing when she found his office, leaving only a letter of resignation on her desk." Harry placed the book on the table, looking ready for an in-depth conversation.

"What does the letter say?" The corners of Mu Yan's mouth hooked up an inexplicable smile.

"It seems to say that the wound he left during his duel with the witch last year worsened and he had to leave the school early!" Harry was a little confused, "But ......"

"Is there something wrong?"

"No, it's nothing ......" Harry scratched his head and said with some uncertainty, "I just think that a wizard who wants to save face like him, even if he wants to leave, he won't go so peacefully." ”

"Hehe......" Mu Yan smiled.

Just kidding, with such a big tumor as him by his side, how could Lockhart still dare to be in the limelight, and leaving secretly is the most normal choice.

Then his guess is not wrong, the plot deviation of the 15% jump at noon today is because of this!

The departure of a character like Lockhart, who runs through almost the entire plot, is definitely great for the plot that follows.

And this is just the beginning, it's not hard to imagine that if you don't care about anything, there will be many plots that will change because of Lockhart's departure, and these will definitely be counted in the plot offset by this picky amusement park.

Just like the dominoes, if the first one falls, the rest will quickly collapse.

But this kind of thing, Mu Yan will definitely not sit idly by and watch it happen.

He won't let anything interfere with his plans until he's in the end goal!

However, if you want to stabilize the plot offset and stop rising, someone must step up, stabilize the dominoes that are about to fall, take Lockhart's place, and continue to push the key plot with his participation.

As for who this person is......

Alas-

"I'm asking for trouble!" Mu Yan sighed.

It's not hard to take Lockhart's place to move the plot forward, but it means he has to spend more time arranging and laying it out.

However, he didn't regret it, compared to those troubles that could be solved by losing a little time, Lockhart's memories of brain domain research were the most precious.

These things are not problems that can be solved in time!

"What? What is asking for trouble? Harry was a little confused, and he couldn't understand what Mu Yan was talking about.

"It's nothing" Mu Yan lowered his head and continued to read, once again leaving Harry aside.

Harry: "......"

It's really a pragmatist spirit that if it's useful, just look at it twice, and throw it away if it's useless!

Just as he was struggling with how to say goodbye, the enthusiastic onlookers solved the problem for him in time.

"Oh! Look! Mu Yan is actually in the same group as him! A voice that wasn't loud, but still much higher than a whispered discussion, came from behind a desk.

The whispering crowd around fell silent, and then became lively again.

"I didn't expect that Mu Yan to be his accomplice!"

"I already knew that he wasn't a good guy at first glance!"

"How can this be, he has always been my idol!"

"I think he might ......"

……

The fire of the people's verbal and written criticism soon burned smoothly to Mu Yan with Harry's action of chatting with Mu Yan.

Mu Yan raised his head and frowned slightly.

It's so noisy!

"Sorry......" Harry had just picked up the book, a little embarrassed.

He didn't expect this to happen either.

Hermione and Ron walked with him all morning without saying anything, and now they just talked a few words to Mu Yan, and as a result, Mu Yan was dragged in.

Mu Yan shook his head.

He knew that Harry wasn't the problem.

At yesterday's rally, he grabbed the Slytherin students one by one, and now the Slytherin students' hatred for him has risen to a level second only to the hatred of killing his father and taking his wife.

At this time, it is normal to play a little trick.

In this regard, Mu Yan was not surprised at all.

But is there something wrong with Harry's 12-year-old kid?!

Bang!

"Wonderful Goblin Language" was smashed on the table.

The sound of books and wooden tables colliding was not loud compared to the discussion of everyone around them, but strangely, the dull sound of collision sounded clearly in everyone's ears as if it had an irresistible magic, and attracted their attention firmly - the magic tricks that Professor McGonagall often used at the evening were no secret to Mu Yan now.

"I heard my name being called."

"Is there anything you want to say to me?"

Mu Yan stood up slowly, with a warm smile on his face, but none of the people who looked at him felt warmth, and all they read from those eyes was the coldness oozing out of the cold iron.

Everyone shuddered in unison.

At this moment, they once again remembered the flames that flowed in the sky last night, the three Slytherin students who were blistered all over their bodies, and Mu Yan, who was covered in blood but his face did not change.

Vincent Crabbe swallowed and carefully shrank his head under the table.

Looking around, no one spoke, and the people he swept away took the initiative to avoid his gaze.

The smile on Mu Yan's face gradually faded:

"Since there isn't, please be quiet, and don't forget that this is the library......"

He paused.

"Neither noise nor ...... is allowed here. Vandalism! ”

The last four words Mu Yan said were meaningful, although they did not say it explicitly, but the more than 30 people present had a deep understanding of the meaning.

It's a threat! It's a threat!

Harry next to him was holding the book, once again forgetting the purpose of his departure.

Mu Yan's way of dealing with it was once again beyond his imagination, when he was still thinking about how to endure the humiliation and burden, find out the situation and prove his innocence to his classmates, Mu Yan directly threw the word "crowd" on the ground in front of everyone, stepped on it, and then pointed to his nose and told them that the word "misfortune comes from the mouth" should be remembered!

This is a naked threat!

Harry watched Mu Yan sit down like a nobody, then lifted the book to continue reading, and then looked at the oppressive silence around him, and a touch of complexity welled up in his heart.

At a certain moment just now, he also had the urge to trample under his feet like Mu Yan who didn't care about anyone's opinions, and trampled these people who wantonly slandered him.

But not to mention that his combat power is 108,000 miles away from Mu Yan, if he does this, it will not be necessary for anyone to step on him, in fact, deep down, he still opposes this practice.

Because doing so will definitely make many people disgusted with him, and what he wants is to be recognized by everyone and get rid of his suspicion, which is completely contrary to his purpose.

Therefore, for Mu Yan's approach, he could only express his disagreement with envy.

Perhaps even he didn't realize that the fateful blood feud and high popularity made him want to be a hero in his heart, and for this, he would be borrowed by everyone to lend his power, which would never be extraordinary, but at the same time, he would lose his precious freedom forever!

"You should go about your business, Harry." Although Mu Yan's eyes were still on the books, he obviously knew Harry's movements very well.

Own business?

Harry looked down at the Powerful Potion he had managed to borrow from the Forbidden Book Zone.

Yes, although he can't convince the crowd like Mu Yan, he also has his own methods!

I'm going to get to the bottom of it!

Harry clenched his fists to cheer himself up, and after saying goodbye to Mu Yan, he hurriedly left his seat.

"That's right, Harry."

Mu Yan raised his head and called out to Harry, who was leaving in a hurry: "I recently learned how to roast wings with sauce, call Ron and Hermione this weekend, and we'll see you in the Hufflepuff kitchen." ”

"Uh, well, I'll let them know." Harry thought about it for a moment and didn't seem to have much to do for the weekend, so he agreed.

Ravenclaw's library, Gryffindor's common room, and Hagrid's hut outside the Forbidden Forest are just three places that the four frequented on weekend get-togethers.

The library was a convenient place for Mu Yan and Hermione to check their materials, and the common room and Hagrid's hut were places for pure relaxation, and the four of them often picked out weekends to meet in these places since the first year.

And this semester, after Mu Yan showed his unusual love for food and excellent food magic, Hufflepuff's kitchen became one of the common meeting places for the four.
