"You know what? I was shocked when I first arrived at the scene!"

"At that time, I thought you were going to be beaten badly! But I didn't expect you to resist this time and beat Barney so badly!"

"The only problem is that you hit too hard, and you may be punished by the professors for this. And after you hit the person, you didn't even run away. You didn't know why you were standing still!"

"But having said that, these are small mistakes that novices often make, and they don't matter! You will master it after playing it a few times!"

"In short! You did a great job! Now he won't dare to bully you anymore! Hahaha..."

…

In the Hufflepuff dormitory, Amelia was pouring white essence into Jack's hand and talking happily.

Jack, on the other hand, just kept looking at Amelia with a silly smile, completely unaware of the stinging sensation on the wound.

After the entire bottle of white essence was used up, the wound on Jack's fist finally healed.

Emilia took Jack's hand and admired her masterpiece for one last time before saying with satisfaction:

"Yeah! Not bad! My therapeutic skills are pretty good. Maybe I can consider becoming a therapist when I grow up!"

Jack nodded vigorously and agreed:

"Of course! You can definitely do it!"

Emilia smiled and glared at Jack, then said cheerfully:

"Let's go to the auditorium for lunch! I'm already hungry!"

Jack responded and stood up to follow Amelia.

The two of them walked out of the Hufflepuff common room, walked through the corridors, and finally sat down at the Hufflepuff table in the Great Hall, where they began to feast.

[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here.]

The student circle at Hogwarts is actually not that big.

News spreads extremely fast.

Therefore, the two received countless attention and gifts during the whole process of going to the auditorium for dinner.

Among them, the Hufflepuff students were better off.

After all, students like Barney who like to bully are still in the minority.

Most of Hufflepuff's students are ordinary children who are diligent and honest.

Regarding Jack's sudden counterattack in the morning, their biggest feelings were curiosity and surprise.

When they encountered Jack and Amelia traveling, they would only look at them twice.

But students from other colleges are different.

Jack and Amelia caused a sensation among the students as soon as they appeared in the auditorium.

They did not take the initiative to communicate with the two of them, but glanced at Jack and Amelia with various looks from time to time in their seats, while discussing the events of this morning loudly and wantonly.

Jack could even hear their subconscious exclamations.

After all, a skinny little doormat could actually press down a guy who was two times taller than him and beat him like crazy.

This is really unbelievable.

Jack is actually a rather sociophobic person.

He doesn't like to be talked about too much.

Because he would always instinctively interpret those comments as ridicule and ridicule towards him.

So in normal times, Jack would probably run away in confusion when faced with the current situation, and would rather go hungry than go to the auditorium again.

But now, Jack sat firmly in his seat.

He was not calm, and even his body was trembling from the comments of others.

This was consistent with his reaction when he heard other people's comments in the past.

The only difference is that.

After what happened in the morning, Jack still had an extreme emotion in his heart.

This emotion did not actively occupy Jack's mind, but Jack was unwilling to let it go.

Because Jack thinks it is the legendary 'courage'!

Because Jack needs it to suppress all kinds of painful emotions in his heart!

It's even more because Jack is already addicted to 'courage'!

I can't help it, it felt so good to beat up Barney this morning!

Jack missed that feeling very much, and was very satisfied with the feeling of being filled with 'courage' throughout his body now.

With the blessing of this 'courage', he felt relaxed and comfortable all over, as if a thousand pounds of weight had been removed from his body!

Even the outside world's comments about him, in Jack's subjective feelings, are no longer sarcasm and ridicule, but appreciation!

Jack enjoyed this feeling.

This excites him!

It made him feel acknowledged!

So not only was he willing to stay, he even didn't want to leave.

However, Emilia obviously had different ideas.

"Jack, let's go."

After wolfing down a whole piece of steak, Amelia wiped her mouth.

Hearing this, although Jack still had some unfinished thoughts, he still got up and left the auditorium with Amelia.

They slowly returned to the dormitory, and Amelia breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Everyone in the auditorium just behaved normally, and no professor came to see us. It seems that the professors have no intention of taking care of this matter. Or maybe Barney simply has no intention of pursuing this matter further."

Jack said nonchalantly:

"It doesn't matter if you pursue it, I'm not afraid."

"You don't understand, Jack." Amelia waved her hand and said, "Although you didn't use the magic wand this time, you were really cruel. At that time, Barney was beaten beyond recognition by you, and his mother probably even came here in person.

Can't even recognize it.

If he pursues this case, it doesn't matter what the house will pay. Hufflepuff doesn't care anyway.

But you yourself will be imprisoned and forced to do compulsory labor for at least several months, and you may even be fired directly!"

Emilia said it was terrible.

But Jack still wrote lightly:

"I know, but I'm still not afraid."

"..."

Emilia didn't know what to say.

She used to hope that Jack would change.

Become more courageous and tougher, so that you can get rid of the title of "a doormat" and not be bullied.

But judging from the current situation, Jack seems to have used too much force, going from one extreme to another extreme where he is fearless.

It's not that Emilia thinks this is bad.

She's just... not used to it.

And when Amelia was stunned, Jack said again:

"One more thing, Emilia, I also want to go with you to protect the secret treasure in the right corridor on the fourth floor."

"Ah? What are you going to do? It's very dangerous there!"

Amelia shouted subconsciously, then felt something was wrong, and said softly with an embarrassed expression, "Jack, listen to me. The reason why I want to go alone is not because I dislike you. I just... feel a little guilty. I don't want to

Let you again..."

"It goes without saying, Emilia."

Jack interrupted, "The reason why I want to go is not just because I want to help you, but also because I really want to go.

You were right when you said something before. Courage leads the way. Once you have it the first time, you can do it the second time, the third time, or even countless times!

I now truly have courage!

What happened this morning was just the beginning.

After going through that, I felt like I could do more.

Therefore, I also want to prove myself! Prove to everyone that I, Jack, am not a waste!"

Amelia looked at Jack blankly.
Chapter completed!
