Chapter Thirty-Eight: Malfoy Eats Deflated

Ron resolutely joined Draco Malfoy's two big henchmen.

And then...... There is no then.

Far from being a match for the huge Crabbe and Goyle, he was quickly controlled by the two of them grabbing his arms and pinching his thighs, unable to move.

Malfoy stood triumphantly beside him, smiling like a villain:

"This is your henchman, Potter? So vulnerable! ”

"Ron is my friend, he's not a sidekick! The two next to you are called followers! Harry was furious and rushed at Crabbe and Goyle, trying to get Ron out of their hands, but Hermione couldn't stop them.

…… Harry was then controlled by his neck and feet, and placed with Ron.

"Is this what is called a savior? But that's it! Malfoy looked triumphantly at the Gryffindor long table, feeling that he had led Slytherin to the head of Gryffindor House, and was extremely happy.

Malfoy's provocative behavior finally provoked the anger of the crowd, and the Gryffindor students who were eating rose from the table and pressed towards him.

Seeing a large group of people coming over angrily, Malfoy felt a little weak. But thinking that his backer was nearby, he raised his head again and stared at the Gryffindor cubs in front of him.

Just as the Gryffindor students approached to arrest Malfoy like Ron and Harry did now, a dark voice rang outβ€”

"I haven't seen it for a few minutes, and the Gryffindor students seem to be a lot more daring." Snape sneered and said, "Now you dare to bully your junior classmates in public?" ”

"Someone messed with us first, Professor Snape." Hermione poked her head covered in unkempt brown hair from the back of the crowd and argued, "Malfoy was insulting Ron and Harry's family. ”

"Either way, it's against Hogwarts rules, Miss Granger. And I saw that it was Mr. Weasley who made the first move. Snape said in a sleek tone, "Gryffindor is deducted ten points." Weasley, Potter, you should be glad you didn't deduct more. Alright, let's all disperse! ”

Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle threw Ron and Harry back into the Gryffindor ranks, smiling rudely, as if mocking the powerlessness of Gryffindor House and the weakness of the so-called Savior.

"I'm going to teach him a lesson," Ron said as he looked at Malfoy's back and gritted his teeth, "someday, I'm going to teach them a hard lessonβ€”"

"I hate both of them," Harry chimed in, "Annoying Malfoy and Snape. ”

At this moment, Malfoy, who was still gloating, seemed to have been slapped very hard suddenly, and he spun around several times before falling heavily to the ground.

Malfoy lost face, and with the burning pain on his face, he cried bitterly.

"Who?! Who is plotting against me? Don't let me get caught, my dad will make you pay!" He cried and shouted, tears still flowing.

Snape, on the other hand, showed a somewhat skeptical expression and set his eyes on Dracula not far away.

Dracula clasped his hands to his chest and shifted his gaze to meet Snape's gaze.

"What a coincidence, Professor Snape." He was the first to say hello.

"Professor Dracula, as far as I know, there is no one else around here who has such a superb silent spell casting ability." Snape stared at Dracula and said coldly, "Don't tell me you have anything to do with Draco's attack. ”

"There is no doubt about it, I did it." Dracula said to Snape with a nonchalant expression, "Malfoy's provocation of his classmates deserves punishment. ”

"Oh, yes, Slytherin dunks ten." He glanced at Malfoy, who was sitting on the ground, and added, "Professor Snape, I shouldn't have a problem following your management methods, right?" ”

Snape's face turned ugly.

"Professor Dracula, this kind of corporal punishment of students doesn't seem appropriate, does it?" He said stiffly.

"Oh? So would it be appropriate for Professor Snape to deduct points from Gryffindor alone and ignore Slytherin's wrongdoing? Dracula asked rhetorically with a chuckle.

Snape stared at Dracula, his lips trembling.

Then he jerked around and left the Great Hall without looking back, his wide robe flung behind his back, and the face of Malfoy, who was sitting on the ground......

Malfoy stared dumbfounded, feeling abandoned as he left his own headmaster.

"Well done, Professor! I knew that this favor was useless! ”

The Weasley twins scurried over with a beaming look on their faces, and George shouted praises.

Fred also winked at him, "Sure enough, it's still Professor Dracula, so that Snape's old bat should have a long memory!" ”

Dracula turned to look at the Weasley twins and sneered, "I've never seen a wizard as extravagant as you in using the favor I just gave me to such a trivial matter." ”

"It's alright, Professor." Fred grinned, "Whatever it is, it's meant to be used when you get it, and there's no point in keeping it!" ”

"Then I hope you don't regret it in the future." Dracula chuckled, waved at Weasley and Harry, and walked towards the auditorium.

At that moment, Malfoy, who was still sitting on the ground, could not sit still. He felt that he should put a cruel word at the end, otherwise he would lose face.

So before Dracula left, he suddenly said in a loud voice:

"You... Don't get complacent too soon! My dad is a Hogwarts trustee, and I'm going to let him expel you!" ”

Dracula paused in his footsteps, then turned to look at him.

"How's it going, are you scared?" Seeing Dracula's movements, Malfoy suddenly came to his senses, raised his head and said, "As long as you apologize to me now, I can prevent my father from firing you!" ”

After all, it was the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the previous months that impressed Malfoy, and even if he didn't have any face, he only dared to ask Dracula to apologize to him, and he didn't dare to make more excessive demands.

However, Dracula did not have the slightest intention of apologizing, but showed an interesting look in his eyes.

"Interesting, does Hogwarts have a school board now?"

The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he bent down to close to Malfoy, who was sitting on the ground, and whispered, "Can you do me a favor, Mr. Malfoy?" ”

"Tell your father to let him and the other members of the school come to Hogwarts."

"Let's just say that the Hogwarts landlord wants to see them."
