Scott stood at the top of the stairs, calmly watching the drama unfolding in the common room below.

Eddie whispered from the side, "Although Roger looks miserable, I don't know why, but I don't want to sympathize with him at all." ”

"He shouldn't have played any game with Miss Dupin in the first place." In his usual tone, Milton said, "Love should be a romantic and beautiful thing, and we can't treat it as a game or joke about it." ”

Scott didn't express his opinion like the two roommates. He only felt that Lisa Dupin's words were still watery and flawed, and Roger seemed to be stupid, and he hadn't gotten to the point after talking to her for so long.

However, he had no intention of going up to help, and Lisa Dupin was not an easy person to communicate with, and he always avoided such troubles.

So, everything can only be up to Roger's own.

Fortunately, Roger is not a real fool, but the sudden "public execution" has too much impact before, and he wants to prove his innocence too quickly, which causes him to be somewhat impatient.

Now he seemed to suddenly come to his senses and asked Dupin again, "Lisa, tell me." If you had this misunderstanding, why didn't you question me at the time? ”

He stared into Du Pin's eyes, "Why, I have changed two girlfriends now, and you suddenly do this kind of thing?" ”

"Listen to him, 'I've changed two girlfriends', it's really bad." Eddie muttered to Scott and Milton again.

Of course, among the students present at this time, there were not a few boys who muttered like him.

Scott ignored Eddie's muttering of envy, and he noticed that Lisa Dupin had her head down again. She was avoiding Roger's gaze and posing as if she was refusing to communicate.

"I don't think you thought the way you did last school, Lisa." Roger seemed to be afraid of scaring the other party, and his tone became softer, "Did someone say something to you that changed your mind?" ”

Lisa Dupin just shook her head, seemingly unprepared to respond to the question.

Roger looked at her helplessly, "Well, you don't want to say it. So can you tell me where the dark magic item you used to curse the broom came from? ”

Lisa Dupin still had her head bowed, her face covered by the messy hair on her head, and she seemed ready to fight Roger's question with silence to the end.

Roger grabbed his hair in annoyance, he got up and walked back and forth a few steps, stopped in front of Du Pin, and spoke again, "Don't you want to say yes?" Lisa. Tell me, who helped you pick the lock on our dorm when you went into our dorm room and cursed my hapless broom? ”

As Roger asked questions one by one, the common room became quiet again.

There is no shortage of smart people in Ravenclaw. Most of the students had already sensed from Roger's question that this incident was not as simple as it seemed.

So they all restrained their expressions of watching the play, and their expressions became serious.

It's just that Lisa Dupin still didn't say anything. She squatted on the ground and shrunk into a ball, shaking her head incessantly, looking extremely pitiful.

Roger looked down at the tears dripping from the carpet at her feet, and for a moment didn't know whether to continue asking.

He turned and spread his hands out in a helpless expression, looking at Professor Flitwick and Scott at the top of the stairs.

Professor Flitwick had been silent for a few moments.

He had been in a bit of a trance when Roger was talking to Du Pin. It seemed that what was happening in front of him had a big impact on him.

If Professor Flitwick had been a more sane person, he would have quickly understood that it was easy to make the right decision when it was no longer possible to hide it from Lisa Dupin.

Because there is no other option.

And Professor Flitwick is a clever wizard, and it is impossible not to think of this. But he's still struggling.

But that's the respectable side of the professor, Scott thought. Although he can't do it himself, it doesn't prevent him from appreciating the kindness of others as well.

However, when Roger turned to look, Professor Flitwick seemed to finally come out of the tangle and make up his mind.

Once he had made up his mind, Professor Flitwick began to act decisively.

He descended the stairs to Lisa Dupin.

"Miss Dupin." Professor Flitwick's voice was a little deeper, not at all as sharp as usual.

Dupin couldn't help but shake when she heard Professor Flitwick's voice, but she still didn't look up.

Professor Flitwick paced in place, "Whether it's possession of a magical item or secretly attaching a vicious curse to a classmate's broomstick, it's against the law. ”

He said bitterly, "You should be glad you still have a chance, Miss Dupin." Roger didn't even want to expose you at first, he felt that you were too young and that you should thank him for that. ”

"Now, all the Ravenclaw students are here." Professor Flitwick looked at the other students, "Can anyone tell me what punishment Miss Dupin would have been punished for what Miss Dupin had done if the Ministry of Magic's Law Enforcement Division learned about this?" ”

"I know, Professor."

A seventh-grade boy stepped forward and said in a very calm and rational voice, "Since Miss Dupin's actions did not cause substantial harm to the victim, the most likely is about three months in Azkaban's imprisonment and a fine of 200 gold Galleons. ”

At this moment, Lisa Dupin suddenly raised her head and looked at the seventh-grade boy in disbelief.

The boy reached out and helped the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said to Dupin, "Of course, if you can take the initiative to increase the fine to 1,000 gold galleons, there is a good chance that you will not have to go to Azkaban." ”

"Thank you for your answer, Mr. Brown." Professor Flitwick nodded to him and motioned for him to sit down.

Before sitting down, Brown said to Dupin, "My name is William Brown." By the way, there is another premise for the 1,000 gold Galleons in exchange for freedom I am talking about – to hire myself as your defender. ”

"No ......"

Lisa Dupin was finally scared.

She screamed, "No, I'm not going to be imprisoned in Azkaban!" ”

Brown shrugged his shoulders and sat down, not responding to Dupin's shout.

At this time, Professor Flitwick said to Dupin, "I told you you still have a chance, Miss Dupin. Remember, if you can prove that you weren't the one who played a major role in the events that took place, things can turn around. ”

"I ...... I ......"

Du Ping's face turned pale, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the corner of the lounge, his eyes locked on Jacob.

"It's Jacob, he's the one who helped me pick that lock!" She replied loudly.
