Chapter 476: The Talent of Acting
If you talk about who at Hogwarts is the one who pays Harry the most attention.
It was undoubtedly John and Slughorn.
Slughorn is because he has a task on his shoulders, and John, the strong man can always attract the attention of others.
John was in a bad mood.
This was something Harry could see.
It's weird.
John didn't write his thoughts on his face before.
He had seen Malfoy being reprimanded by John.
It's incredible.
"Look at this," Hermione, who had a habit of subscribing to newspapers, said in surprise holding the Daily Prophet, "something has happened to a high-ranking official at the Ministry of Magic. ”
Harry looked at the newspaper and saw Amelia Bones.
He immediately remembered that when he was accused, it was Amelia Bones who spoke out to help.
It says that the Aurors are investigating, and there is one more incident, Johnny the Silver Hand is attacked.
Harry knew why John was so upset.
His shop was attacked.
...
Malfoy's face darkened, as he had been since he was reprimanded.
Even others thought it was incredible, but John had never been like this.
Daphne tried to speak, but was forced back by John's gloomy face.
When it was time for class, John got up and left.
They all knew that John wasn't going to pass, and Malfoy exclaimed, "Is he crazy?" ”
"Shut up, Draco." Daphne told him to shut up.
John made his way to the second-floor hallway.
After seeing that there was no one, he loosened his expression.
He's acting.
Judging from everyone's performance, he is still very talented in acting.
If there is no conflict, how can you make up your mind to leave?
Myrtle flew out of the bathroom with anticipation on her face.
"I've seen a lot, and the dark-haired boy is in good shape." Myrtle can't get enough.
John was speechless, "You're not going to peek at Theodore taking a shower, are you?" ”
Apparently Myrtle is already a repeat offender.
Still, she brought some useful news to John.
"The boy disappeared in a room on the eighth floor." Myrtle flew over John's shoulder, "I want to go in, but unfortunately I can't." ”
"A room on the eighth floor?"
John thought of the Room of Requirement, a place he hadn't been to in a while.
Pulling out a pair of earrings from his handbag, John kept his promise.
Myrtle was so happy that she was flying around, and Peeves was so happy when she heard that she immediately came over and wanted to bully her.
When John saw the result, John grabbed Peeves and smiled gently: "Peeves, come down, I'll ask you for a favor." ”
Pievi shuddered, but didn't dare to resist.
Well-behaved like a good boy.
John was not unreasonable either, and promised Peeves that he could give Peeves some joke merchandise as long as things were done properly.
This made Peeves take off his hat even more respectfully and said, "Listen to you, Mr. Wick. ”
...
In the days that followed, it wasn't just Harry who saw it.
Even others could see that John was in a bad mood.
Peeves, in particular, messed with it once, smashing a balloon filled with water at John's feet.
Peeves was pinned in the air by John, causing him to let out an extraordinarily desolate scream.
This scene alarmed Professor McGonagall.
"Put Peeves down, Mr. Wick." Professor McGonagall grimaced.
John snorted and walked away.
This made Professor McGonagall frown, John wasn't such an impolite kid before.
John ridiculed Professor Runeven's low level and insulted Professor Alchemy as a second-rate alchemist.
They were all humiliated, which caused John's reputation to plummet.
Slughorn approached John to talk, but the end result was a big fight.
Everyone felt that something was wrong, and John was like a different person.
But only those in the know understood what was going on, and Harry watched as the newspaper reporter asked Barty Crouch Sr. what he thought of the silver hand merchandise.
Barty Crouch Sr. felt that the silver hand had a monopoly momentum and should not be like this.
Harry guessed that this was the reason why John's temper was getting worse.
Malfoy wasn't around John as often as he used to, and they seemed to be broken.
There was no clue about the person who poisoned him, and the news spread, and the eyes of many people looking at John became wrong.
Some say that John didn't like Slughorn, after all, a Hogwarts can only have one king.
Others thought that John might be angry that Snape's position as Defence Against the Dark Arts professor had been robbed.
Either way, it seems to confirm the fact that John was poisoned.
These gossips came into John's ears, and he scolded a gossip fellow.
The student was scolded and cried, which made John seem to be no longer the king.
Hermione tries to find John to talk to, but is denied a meeting.
This left Hermione heartbroken.
Harry felt that John had gone too far.
One afternoon, he approached John, hoping that he would apologize to Hermione.
John sneered, "Apologies? I don't remember what I did. ”
"Hermione cares about you too," Harry argued, "do you know how long she's been sad for you?" ”
"So what?" John said coldly, "I'm going to apologize for someone with a wand pointed at me?" ”
Harry's face turned ugly when he heard this, and he angrily drew his wand, "I'm not kidding. ”
"I'm not kidding," John said with a blank face, "point your wand at me, you're going to war with me?" ”
John took a straight shot, drew his wand and struck Harry with a red light.
Harry's wand flew out, and John didn't stop.
With a flick of his wand, Harry fell to the ground and slid across the ground, crashing into a pair of medieval armor.
John's wand was pointed at Harry, and a force lifted against Harry's wall.
"Don't always come to me with that messianic gesture, Harry." John said with a sinister face, "What I hate most is your self-righteous expression. ”
Harry couldn't break free, only glared at John.
The expression of not admitting defeat made John full of irritation.
He cocked his wand and Harry's head slammed into the ceiling.
Harry felt like his skull was about to shatter.
John pulled his wand away, and Harry fell from the ceiling and smashed into the newly raised medieval armor.
Harry gasped as he felt pain in his chest.
John caught a glimpse of Professor McGonagall hurrying by.
He knew he had a good opportunity.
The wand was aimed at Harry, and John said sinisterly, "Drill the heart......"
"Except for your weapons"
John's wand dropped, and he turned to see Professor McGonagall with a serious face.
"What are you going to do, Wick." Professor McGonagall's lips were white and her face was full of shock, and she said to the students next to her, "Take Harry Potter to the school hospital." ”
Professor McGonagall came up to John with a complicated expression, "I need you to go with me to the Headmaster's office. ”
John looked away from her, and Professor McGonagall had Snape go to him.
Following Professor McGonagall, the two were silent.
Several times Professor McGonagall tried to speak, but it turned into a sigh.
After walking past the strange statue, Professor McGonagall spoke, "I don't know what's wrong with you, Wick. ”
She sighed and said, "But I know you're not that kind of person. ”
"Don't say you know me well," John scoffed, "and think I'm supposed to be a Gryffindor?" ”
Professor McGonagall was silent and knocked on the door of the Chancellor's office.
When opened, Slughorn and Snape were already inside.
Snape saw John and said in a strange air, "Surprising, Wick, I thought you would never make a mistake." ”
Professor McGonagall walked over and said solemnly, "John Wick was going to use the Heart Dash on Harry Potter today, but I stopped him. ”
As soon as these words came out, the two people present were stunned.
Slughorn couldn't believe it, "Is what Minerva said true, John?" ”
"It's true." John pretended to be too lazy to pretend and said, "His posture is annoying, isn't it?" ”
"With all due respect, Potter always likes to educate people with a messianic posture." Snape spoke for John.
"But that's not a reason to use the Unforgivable Curse." Slughorn said solemnly, "You need to know that using this spell will keep you in Azkaban for the rest of your life. ”
"I don't think there's anything wrong with that," John retorted, "magic is magic, and magic shouldn't be criminalized." ”
Slughorn's eyes widened and he stammered, "You...... How would you say that? ”
As if remembering something bad, Slughorn said angrily, "You need to calm down, John, maybe leaving Hogwarts is a good choice." ”
"Professor Slughorn, with all due respect."
"Severus, you don't need to continue speaking for him, you should know that."
"It shouldn't be Harry Potter or not," Slughorn interrupted Snape, and said very seriously, "Hogwarts is a school, and people who are too dangerous are not allowed to stay here." ”
Snape opened his mouth, but finally closed it.
Looking at John in a complicated manner, Snape said, "John Wick, you can calm down during this time. ”
"Thank you, Professor Snape."
John nodded to Snape, though as a member of the Order of the Phoenix, Snape could already see his transformation in his treatment of John's ability to speak for him.
John left the principal's office.
Professor McGonagall said sadly, "Oh my God, why is this happening?" ”
...
Some people died, but not completely......
