Chapter 45: On the Reward of Meritorious Deeds

After listening to Professor Kettleburn's account, Principal Dippet nodded slowly and said, "We understand, does Mr. Rozier have anything else to add?" ”

He looked at Xiwen.

Shiwen shook his head, indicating that there was nothing more to add.

"Okay." Principal Dippet thought for a moment, looked at the four deans, and said. "So what do you think at least three dark wizards want to infiltrate the school through the Forbidden Forest?"

"Professor, did you catch those dark wizards?" Xiwen asked.

With a look of regret, Dumbledore said to Shivin, "When I arrived at the location where you sent the signal, they were gone. ”

As if seeing Shevan's disapprenant look, Professor Slughorn added, "Sivan, Albus was the first to find you, but the most important thing is to make sure you're safe. After taking you to the school hospital, it will be a step too late to rush to the scene. ”

Sivan then remembered that it was Dumbledore who saved them, and quickly said to Dumbledore gratefully, "Thank you, Professor." ”

"You're welcome!" Dumbledore blinked. "I was the first to get the news thanks to a ghost gentleman, you should know him."

"Is that Mr. Strange?" Xiwen feigned a surprised expression. has been pretending to be around, and he feels that his acting skills are getting better and better......

Dumbledore nodded, and said, "That's right, Mr. Strange said that he left a spiritual imprint on you to thank you for your help in order to sense if you are in danger. I have to say that there is indeed a lot of magic in the magic of the East! ”

Shevin smiled stiffly in response.

During the time when the little wizard Xiwen was in a coma, his mind naturally shifted to the soul body, just like the efficient learning mode of the physical body sleeping and the soul reading. Dumbledore: They had already asked the ghost Shewin about how he could know what was happening in the Forbidden Forest in time for them to come to light.

Shevin came up with the reason for the imprint on the fly, and swore to tell the professors that he didn't feel exactly what was happening, but only a rough idea of where it happened and how critical it was. Whether they believed it or not, he himself believed it anyway......

"I think this infiltration of the Forbidden Forest may have something to do with the destruction of the castle's magic node." Professor Meles forcibly shifted the unorthodox topic back to the topic they were about to discuss. "I can't imagine what would have happened if the leopard had been brought to school."

She patted her chest with trepidation.

Several other professors were also convinced, and they all showed worried expressions.

"If that's the case, can the ghost Strange who helped us be cleared of suspicion?" Dumbledore asked, looking at Headmaster Dippert.

Principal Duppet shook his head and retorted, "This doesn't completely clear his suspicions. There is still a possibility that he deliberately revealed certain information to get rid of his suspicion. If the dark wizard in the Forbidden Forest was an accomplice with him, it would be natural for him to know the news of the Forbidden Forest. ”

So I can stay in the dungeon for more than ten miles and discuss my plan with the dark wizards remotely? Xiwen hated and itched his teeth.

Professor Billley thought of this as well, and he told Headmaster Dippert, "As far as I know, Strange has been kept in the dungeon, and that Ms. Gray is with him. He shouldn't have a chance to commit a crime. ”

Hivington gave Professor Billley a grateful look, though he didn't see it.

However, Principal Dippet shook his head and said, "It's also possible that their group agreed to act on Sunday night before school started, and it is possible to achieve this step by planning the time." ”

"I might as well change my name to the Great Prophet, I can even calculate the series of things that the little wizard's wand attracts the unicorn, and the unicorn takes the little wizard to watch the trail of the dark wizard...... 'Xiwen laughed angrily and fell heavily on the pillow, feeling that he had never been so speechless in his two lives.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Seeing his movements, Mrs. Dallaire, who was watching the bustle next to her, asked.

Shiwen shook his head.

Principal Dippet consulted with the four deans for a while, but it seemed that no specific cause and effect had been discussed.

They simply quieted down and decided to arrange the affairs of Shevin and Professor Kettleburn first.

"Professor Keitleburn and Mr. Rozier should be commended and rewarded for identifying a serious potential threat to the safety of a castle," said Principal Duppert. However, by involving first-year freshmen in a dangerous incident, Professor Kettleburn is a failure to fulfill his duty to protect his students, and I think the credit is worth it. ”

"Principal Dippert, this matter has nothing to do with Professor Kettleburn, I am reluctant to leave!" Hearing him say that Professor Kettleburn had not fulfilled his responsibilities, Xiwen could not stand it anymore and retorted. "What's more, the professor has been covering me from beginning to end in the Forbidden Forest and has saved me I don't know how many times."

He remembered the scene last night when the professor pushed himself away and rushed towards the dark wizard and the poisonous leopard alone, and his eyes moistened a little.

Seeing this, Principal Dippet hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to look at the four deans.

"Armando, don't be so indifferent, Sylvanus's reward can still be there!" Professor Billley, the good old man, said seriously.

Seeing that the other three deans all agreed, President Dippert also nodded and said, "In this case, end Professor Kettleburn's probation early and resume his normal salary and benefits." ”

Xiwen looked at Professor Kettleburn with a puzzled gaze and asked, "Professor, are you still on probation?" ”

"Hahahaha......" the professor said with a heroic laugh. In fact, I have been teaching here for a few years, and there is not a year that has not been spent in the punishment of probation, and now I am not used to the sudden absence of punishment! ”

Xiwen: "......"

Four Deans: "......"

Principal Dippert: "......"

…… It's great that you weren't fired.

"Ahem." Headmaster Dippert cleared his throat and said to Professor Slughorn. "Horace, this is the little wizard of your academy, you can give him the reward he deserves."

Professor Slughorn accepted the errand with a smile on his face and stood up.

He straightened his bulging robe, which was propped up by fat, and said to Xiwen with joy, "Xiwen, this time you have played a great role in lifting the threat of the Forbidden Forest Intruders, and you have been able to protect the professor and the unicorn, I have decided to give Slytherin thirty points!" ”

"In addition, if you have any personal needs, you can ask me, and I will definitely do my best to help!"

Shevin didn't care much about the Academy's extra points, but there was a lot of room for personal help from Professor Slughorn, a Potions Master.

He thought about it, and finally gave up the idea of asking the dean to help refine the potion for the time being, which inevitably felt a little like an inch. It seems that by taking advantage of this opportunity, it is easier to gain the favor of the dean by only making some easy-to-achieve requirements. So that it is easier to find the dean to help more in the future!

Xiwen felt like he was scheming.

"Professor, I'd like to borrow a few books from the library." Xiwen said.
