Chapter 34: The Well-Behaved Hufflepuff (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
"Rita Skeeter? That reporter for the Daily Prophet? Fred asked, puzzled, "What does this have to do with her?" ”
George added: "And we're not interested in her, she's doomed to unrequited love." ”
"That's a shame." Kyle didn't continue the conversation, and after a perfunctory remark, he walked through the two.
Lunch had already begun, and Kyle now wanted nothing more than to sit there and savor the tender steak and pumpkin juice instead of standing in the doorway of the auditorium like a dumb melon.
Fred and George, however, don't think so, and they follow Kyle all the way to the Hufflepuff table.
"There's no evidence, but I always feel like it's because you're here that the Charms classroom blew up."
Fred squeezed Cedric away, sat next to Kyle, took a glass of pumpkin juice and took a big sip, and continued: "Otherwise, why didn't there be anything before, and this kind of thing happened as soon as you came, it must have been influenced by you." ”
Hearing this, Kyle only felt his back sink, and he almost choked on the pumpkin juice.
What do you mean, what did he do, obviously he has been helping all along, okay, he really has to put this pot on him?
Kyle turned his head and raised his middle finger without saying a word.
But Fred ignored this, and still said to himself, "It's a pity that you're not in Gryffindor." ”
"We asked." George smiled: "The first class of Gryffindor freshmen is potions, if you have it, with the cooperation of the freshmen, it is likely that Snape will enter the school hospital." ”
"yes, that's a shame." Fred put down the pumpkin juice in his hand and lamented, "If you can get Snape to the school hospital, you will be a Gran...... No, you will be the hero of all Hogwarts! ”
I don't know what Fred thought, but his face was full of regret just now, and he suddenly became excited, and his whole body was shaking.
Fred wasn't even aware that Cedric was tugging at his robes from the sidelines.
"Seriously Kyle, I still don't think you should be in Hufflepuff, Gryffindor is your real home."
"I'm right, but, Fred, George......" Kyle suddenly cleared his throat and said with a smile on his face, "Why do you think the new Gryffindors will cooperate with me against Professor Snape?"
It seems to me that the young wizards of Gryffindor are all very polite, they speak well, and the dean is also kind, so they are not so ...... Well, unruly. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, Kyle, an honest boy who follows the rules will be sorted into Gryffindor?" Fred was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh yes, we can't say that, we should say that we just like to take risks......"
"So...... Mr. Weasley, is that why you don't eat at your own house table? ”
A cold, emotionless voice came from behind him.
The smiles on Fred and George's faces disappeared all at once, and they turned their heads to look behind them with difficulty.
"Professor McGonagall, when did you arrive......" Fred pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said dryly, "Well, I think you must have misunderstood something, I can explain." ”
"No need, Mr. Weasley, I think I understand you perfectly, and there is no misunderstanding. And you should be glad that it's me, not Professor Snape, standing here. ”
Professor McGonagall's face was calm, and she didn't look any different than she usually was. "Because you don't respect the professor, Gryffindor deducts ten points, ten points each."
Fortunately, it's just a point deduction.
Fred and George breathed a sigh of relief, it was only the beginning of the school year, and the Gryffindor scoring hourglass was still rich, but it was only twenty points, which was acceptable.
"Also......" Professor McGonagall glanced at the twins, and continued, "given your poor behavior at the sorting ceremony, you two were locked up every night for the next week. ”
Fred and George were struck by lightning.
Sorting ceremony? They thought it was over......
They don't care about deducting points, but confinement is different, not to mention that they can't travel at night for a week in a row, which is simply killing them!
The two of them are already starting to despair.
"Professor, I beg you to ......"
Fred and George looked at Professor McGonagall pitifully, trying to awaken pity in her heart in this way.
Unfortunately, Professor McGonagall didn't eat at all, and she didn't even speak in the slightest intonation:
"The lockdown starts at eleven p.m., go find Filch, and he'll take you to the prize showroom. There is a roster of names and deeds of all the outstanding students of Gryffindor since its founding.
You need to copy this roster in its entirety until you are finished. Remember, it's one time per person, and no magic or shorthand quill is allowed, all by hand. ”
Professor McGonagall gestured in the direction of Gryffindor and said, "Now, Mr. Weasleys, hurry back to your table!" ”
Fred and George were struck by lightning and walked back to Gryffindor's place with their heads down, their faces full of lovelessness.
Kyle kept his head down and couldn't laugh until the twins left, when he turned his head as if nothing had happened, "Good afternoon, Professor McGonagall, it's a pleasure to see you here." ”
Professor McGonagall's voice finally fluctuated slightly, and she replied, "Good afternoon, Mr. Chopper." ”
"Just call me Kyle, Professor." Kyle smiled, "Have you had lunch?" If not, eat something here. ”
Cedric also reacted at this time, and hurriedly moved to the side again, vacating a spacious enough position.
Professor McGonagall's expression softened a little and said, "I would very much like to, but unfortunately I have already eaten it." ”
In order to maintain her majestic personality, Professor McGonagall usually comes to the auditorium at mealtime, or stays in her office, and rarely eats with the young wizards.
"That's a misfortune." Kyle sighed softly, and the other badgers cooperated with disappointed expressions, as if they really wanted to eat at the same table with Professor McGonagall.
All well-behaved.
Professor McGonagall looked at the scene in front of her, and compared it to the Gryffindor table next door, and a feeling of exhaustion suddenly welled up in her heart.
There's really no harm if there's no comparison.
Why are the good boys in other houses, especially Kyle and Cedric, even if one of them is assigned to Gryffindor.
This damn Sorting Hat......
