"Really, how could Professor Lopez do this?"

"She's a professor! She didn't believe what we said and said we were hallucinating!"

"I really...can't believe it, this is too outrageous!"

"What's so amazing! Really!"

…

In the corridor, Emilia was chatting endlessly.

Apparently he was offended by what Alice just said.

Jack, who was walking beside her, had his head lowered and his face was ashen.

Unlike Amelia, Jack is not actually angry, but sad.

He has a very good relationship with Aunt Alice.

It is precisely because of this that Jack chooses to tell Alice instead of his mother.

But now, Alice responded like this.

This is more hurtful than rejecting him outright, or snitching behind his back to his mother.

Because what Alice expressed was contempt and distrust of Jack.

And this is precisely Jack's problem.

My mother is like this, my sister is like this, and now, Aunt Alice is like this too.

Jack felt as if all his strength had been drained away.

He was walking like a zombie, his soul had already sunk into the bottomless abyss, falling, falling...

"...Hey! Can you hear me? Jack? I'm talking to you."

The sudden sound reached Jack's ears through layers of invisible obstacles.

The sinking soul was suddenly pulled back to the body by the voice, and Jack shuddered suddenly. What he saw was Emilia's face full of worry and concern.

"Are you okay? I've never seen you behave like this."

Emilia said softly, "If you feel really uncomfortable, just cry. I know a place where no one is."

Jack swallowed and said in a trembling voice:

"Crying? But I am a boy..."

"This has nothing to do with men and women, right?" Emilia said with a smile, "People have tear ducts just for crying. Crying is just a way to vent emotions. Everyone should do this. No matter what happens,

Crying, in the long run, people will suffer from mental illness.

Oh! These are all researched by Muggle scientists. I am currently learning Muggle knowledge..."

There was a buzzing in Jack's ears again, his throat was extremely sore, and something seemed to be brewing in his eyes, blurring his vision.

He had never thought that Amelia would actually tell him that he could cry...

Jack felt that some kind of intense emotion was about to emerge from his heart.

But at this moment, I heard Emilia say again:

"It's okay to cry, but the matter must be resolved! Only in this way can we be considered a truly upright person! So, since Professor Lopez doesn't believe us, then we will protect the secret treasure hidden on the fourth floor ourselves!"

The intense emotions in Jack's heart were quickly suppressed again.

Instead, there was horror!

What Emilia said is so outrageous!

These two children, who are just in first grade, are going to fight against the goblins and protect the secret treasure?

"I've already thought about it!"

Emilia smiled excitedly and said, "We don't have to fight the goblins directly! We only need to patrol the fourth floor every night. If we find a goblin appearing, we go directly to Principal Shafiq! This way the goblin can be caught!

We can also prove to Professor Lopez that we are not hallucinating!"

Having said this, Emilia paused, frowned as if she thought of something, and said with some embarrassment:

"No, don't go, Jack. I'll go alone..."

"No! Emilia!"

Jack interrupted, "I won't go! You can't go either! This is too risky! We have better ways...such as changing professors to report the situation! Yes! That's it, we go to the principal's office! Even if we are punished,

You were expelled, but at least Hogwarts is safe!"

Emilia shook her head and said:

"I just noticed that you called Professor Lopez Aunt Alice. This means that you are very close to her. But even so, she is not willing to believe us. Do you think...even those who are related to you

Professor Lopez is like this, will President Shafiq and other professors believe us?"

Jack opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Because he thinks so too.

Will mother believe what he says?

I guess it will be regarded as nonsense again, right?

"So you understand, it's not that I want to take risks, but that I can only take risks."

Emilia hooked Jack's shoulder, patted him twice and said, "Jack, listen to me. There are no classes today this weekend. Now you go to the kitchen to find the house elves to order something to eat, and then go to the public

Take a hot bath in the lounge and finally get some sleep.

You will feel much better this way.

As for the rest, you just need to keep it a secret and I will take care of it!

You should also know that I am powerful, right?"

As she spoke, Emilia lightly punched Jack on the shoulder with her fist, then ran away with a smile.

Jack wanted to reach out to stop him, but his body was so stiff that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

That feeling of trying to say something but being blocked is very uncomfortable.

Until Emilia's back completely disappeared around the corner.

Jack's body gradually began to return to normal.

However, physical recovery does not mean mental recovery.

Jack felt that his soul fell into the abyss again.

And this time it was not just a fall, but also mixed with a lot of bumps and impacts.

This new kind of pain is called unwillingness.

His best and only friend is about to go on an adventure.

But he couldn't even help at all.

Not to mention participating, he didn't even have the courage to hold the other party back.

Jack moved his steps and walked among the crowd.

My ears were filled with the laughter of my classmates.

So close yet so far away.

Because Jack was constantly questioning himself in his heart:

'Are you really such a waste?'

Jack didn't know how to answer this question.

He wanted to deny it.

But he also felt that this was the case.

The laughter that seemed so far away suddenly disappeared.

The crowd around him seemed to be dispersing.

Jack instinctively wanted to find the reason, and saw a figure walking towards him not far away.

It's Barney!

A look of horror appeared on Jack's dull face.

He remembered!

All the snacks that were supposed to be given to Barney were eaten by Norbert the Fire Dragon last night!

And now, Barney came to find him.

What does he want to pay for?

So...are you going to get beaten again?
