Harry was pointed at by Filch with an innocent expression. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When Hermione on the side saw it, she stomped her foot and took the initiative to stand up.

"I can attest, Harry, Harry, he didn't touch your cat at all! ”

When Ron heard this, he immediately stood up to speak for Harry.

"Hermione is right, we're just passing through here!" Ron suddenly saw Benjamin and Draco hiding in the crowd, and immediately raised his finger and said to the two, "They can testify too!"

"Are you crazy!Ron!That's Draco, though Benjamin can't speak for us!" Harry said angrily, pulling Ron by the sleeve in an attempt to calm him down. Harry was confident that Dumbledore would come right away, and that he wouldn't have to worry about it when the time came.

"Mr. Filch, I'm sure you won't believe what a few children say, and Harry may have held a grudge against you all the time!" said the Benjamin-unnamed Slytherin, smugly, who seemed so determined to win.

"Does he have a grudge against Harry? Benjamin asked, puzzled.

Draco shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, but one is a Slytherin and the other is a Gryffindor, and that's enough!"

"Oh, terrible house competition!" Benjamin said rogues, before he realized that a crowd was staring at him.

"What do they see me doing?" asked Benjamin, confused.

Ginny, who had been hiding behind Benjamin, spoke, her crisp voice sounding pitiful. Poor Ginny, who came to Hogwarts and was not in good health.

"Filch said that he would believe what you said, so we were all surprised!" said Ginny reluctantly.

That's a great honor, Benjamin thought exaggeratedly. He may be the first student to be remembered for being appreciated by Filch.

"Ahem," Benjamin coughed twice, then said in a flat tone with his paralyzed face, "Actually," Benjamin glanced at Harry, who had some expectation and some resignation, "Draco and I were right behind them, but we didn't know what was going on up ahead. But," Harry pricked up his ears suddenly, "how could he, a second-year Gryffindor, be so magical!"

Suddenly, the Slytherin crowd erupted in a burst of harmonious laughter. Ron raised his fist angrily and put it down weakly.

"Everyone, calm down. ”

Dumbledore's voice sounded behind them, and it always had a magic that made people settle down involuntarily.

In the blink of an eye, Dumbledore was already in front of Harry and them.

"Okay, students who have nothing to do can go back first. Dumbledore raised his hand, and although most of them had a regretful expression in their eyes, they could only turn around and leave helplessly when they saw that their head of the house had also rushed over.

"You stay. Dumbledore pointed to the three Harry and Filch.

Just as Benjamin and Draco were about to leave, they were stopped by Dumbledore.

"And you, Mr. Ludwig, I just happened to hear your very impartial statement, you are very clever. Dumbledore said, narrowing his eyes.

In this moment, Dumbledore had already removed poor Lady Loris from the torch holder.

Then the old man said to the people, "Then you will go to me......

"Headmaster, my office is actually the closest to here," Lockhart stepped up with a smile, and even on this occasion Lockhart still maintained his usual smile and five beautiful teeth. "You can come to me. ”

"That's it, Gildero. Dumbledore said immediately, and the group immediately split into two groups.

Most students have to go back to their lounges.

"You just said we were just here, why do you want to speak for Harry!" Draco asked, a little puzzled, though his tone must have been a little angry.

"I don't have enough evidence to identify Harry, even more," Benjamin lowered his voice suddenly, and Draco very tacitly put his ear to Benjamin's mouth, "Dumbledore is not a fool. ”

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

"You're right, but Dumbledore was still the most hated person by my parents. Draco finally spoke.

"Don't be so childish. Benjamin said casually, and then wisely shut his mouth.

Because they were already in Lockhart's office by this time.

For Benjamin and Draco, who were here for the first time, the impact was particularly high.

On the walls hung countless frames of Lockhart, illuminated by many candles. Several even have his signature on them. There was also a large stack of photographs on the table.

Most importantly, each of Lockhart in this photo maintains his charming smile and then says in a tone that Lockhart is accustomed to:

"Oh, fame is a capricious friend!"

"Celebrities should have celebrity shelves!"

"Truly a, unique office. Draco said with little interest.

When Dumbledore sat down, everyone fell silent.

Dumbledore's wise, unclouded eyes roamed back and forth between Harry and Filch.

Then Dumbledore waited for Lockhart to light the candle in the room, and then began to place Lady Loris on the smooth tabletop and began to examine it carefully.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione nervously exchanged glances, then sat down on a few chairs that weren't lit by candlelight, and watched closely.

The tip of Dumbledore's long, hooked nose almost touched the fur on Lady Loris. He scrutinized it through the lenses of his half-moon glasses, his slender fingers poking and poking here and there. Professor McGonagall squinted over the cat, her face almost touching the cat. Snape stood behind them, half of his body hidden in the shadows, looking eerie. The expression on his face was strange: as if he was desperately trying to restrain himself from laughing. Lockhart wandered around them, incessantly giving advice.

"It must have been a spell that killed it - probably a Transfiguration Torture Spell. I've seen people use this spell many times, and I'm sorry I wasn't there, I happened to know the spell and could have saved it......"
