Chapter 101: The Rumor-Maker
The Slytherin team's favorite defeat became the subject of after-dinner conversation among Hogwarts students. The matter of the hapless backup goalkeeper Vicky Avery has become a topic of conversation and laughter for many people, even if Madam Pomfrey has already repaired the broken tooth for him, but when the students of other houses see him, they will always think of the saying that circulated in Gryffindor House: "He knocked out his tooth when he hit my elbow himself." ”
No one really cared if Albert's words were true, they just laughed at the little Avery for knocking out his teeth by taking it upon himself.
Just laughing at it for the sake of hate.
At least, that's what Albert thought, otherwise that sentence would have had a bit of a laugh, and even he couldn't find it himself.
This wave really stabilized the hatred value for him, so stable that even the panel task jumped out.
Albert didn't care too much, because after the Gryffindor vs. Slytherin match, the smell of gunpowder between the two sides was stronger.
The atmosphere between the two houses was very tense, even to the point of breaking out.
In the hallway, there were often petty fights, so angry that the corners of Filch's mouth were crooked, and the number of violators had risen sharply in recent times, and he had used up all his small rolls of parchment.
In the end, it turned into a very bad incident.
Several Slytherin students blocked Mark, and when he was about to start, several Gryffindor students "happened" to pass by and stirred into the chaos.
It ended with a Gryffindor student with strange scales growing on his face and a Slytherin with leeks sticking out of his nose.
Professor McGonagall was furious when she found out, and both Gryffindor and Slytherin were deducted a large number of points.
Now, one is back at the bottom, and the other is the penultimate one.
Of course, there were actually quite a few Slytherin students who were making trouble for Albert, after all, it would be a shame for them to be defeated by a new Muggle student.
However, there were not many opportunities for Slytherin students, and there were people who tried to trip Albert by sticking their legs out in the hallway, however, one of them was stepped on and went straight to the school hospital, and the other was kicked in the calf, and tears flowed from the spot.
What made them most angry was that the freshman would always look at him helplessly, and say in a very calm tone: Are you okay, why did your legs stick out?
In short, it means that I am innocent, harmless, and everything is your fault.
It's hard to argue with that, because you're the one who stuck your leg out and was about to trip over someone and accidentally got hurt.
As for containment?
Albert always had three friends by his side, and he rarely stayed alone, and even if he was alone, most of them stayed in the library.
This guy was still very patient, and he was ambushed outside the library for a long time, but no one came out of the library.
However, this is not the worst pitfall.
Not long ago, a third-year Slytherin student, thinking he had seized the opportunity, followed Albert into the boys' bathroom, only to be found to have stepped on the water on the ground and fell and passed out.
Of course, there is more than one guy who is not dead.
George walked alone in the empty second-floor hallway, not far from which there was an abandoned women's bathroom.
He hummed a little tune, not seemingly aware that someone was following him behind him. The fifth-year Slytherin upperclassman was stealthily pulling his wand out of his robes, ready to use a curse to teach George a hard lesson.
However, when he raised his wand, he noticed that the freshman walking in front of him turned his head and was still smiling at him.
Before the unlucky man came to his senses and figured out what was going on, a slight sound suddenly sounded behind him.
Faint!
It was the last thing he heard before he passed out.
After being struck by the Unconscious Charm, he fell to the ground and passed out.
"Another guy looking for trouble!" George stepped forward, kicked the other party's body with his toes, and grinned, "Yes, I didn't expect it, I have a helper here." ”
"Stop talking nonsense, carry it into the women's bathroom, and prepare to surprise everyone. ”
A few minutes later, a few junior Hufflepuff girls passed by the door of the women's bathroom, and in the distance they saw a guy covered in a robe covering his head.
The other party was lying at the door of the women's bathroom, half of his body was inside, and his hands were making a climbing motion, as if he wanted to climb out of the women's bathroom.
Filch, who heard the movement, hurried over, and looked at the large pool of water in the corridor, and the muscles of his face couldn't help but shake twice.
This is...... Falling to the ground yourself?
In other words, what did a boy do when he broke into the women's bathroom? What did he see, and why did he crawl out in embarrassment?
The girls were so strong that a lot of speculation was already in their minds before Filch found two passing students to pick up the soaking wet hapless bastard from the ground and take him to the school hospital.
The Albert Foursome, who "coincidentally" passed by nearby, witnessed this scene with their own eyes, and their ribs hurt with laughter.
Why did the Slytherin student run away from the women's bathroom in disarray?
The girls who were the first to find out put their brains to good use, wondering why the boy had broken into the abandoned women's bathroom and why he had escaped from the women's bathroom in embarrassment.
"Next time, if anyone dares to trouble us, ......," Fred made a pickpocketing motion, "and shoved his head down the toilet." ”
"Some jokes can't be done too much. Albert couldn't help himself from laughing too exaggeratedly, but he didn't forget to remind him, "However, the next time we meet them, I will knock them out and stuff them into the cubicle of the women's bathroom, I believe the girls will not easily pass him." ”
"That's a good idea!" George blinked, "I'm suddenly looking forward to it." ”
"They've definitely been prepared. ”
"Definitely. Still, I don't think they would have guessed how you know how to use the Transfiguration Charm. Lee Jordan pointed out their greatest strength, and the Slytherin students completely underestimated Albert's abilities.
Because of the illusion spell, I didn't think that someone would hide behind them and wait for Yin to help him, and Albert would also use the stun charm, which could easily put people down.
Although some suspected that Albert was playing tricks, they quickly ruled out several people. After all, a Muggle wizard, no matter how talented he is, can't master too much magic in a short period of time.
As for the few people around Albert, it is obviously unlikely that there is not much precedent for a new student who can master the coma curse, even in Slytherin.
So, this pot was eventually thrown to the senior students of Gryffindor.
After all, there is a precedent for the Markers!
