Chapter 290 From one extreme to another(2/4)
Especially you, Ron.
I remember your father worked in the Office for the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts, right?
But now, his son has taken the lead in breaking the law, and it has also been exposed that he privately modified a car without authorization.
Guess what the Ministry of Magic will do when they find out?
Maybe you expect that my expulsion from Hogwarts will happen to Mr. Weasley first."
Instantly!
The two people who had not realized the seriousness of the problem suddenly turned pale.
Especially Harry felt as if he had been hit hard by the tree he hit just now, and his heart was suddenly filled with a strong sense of guilt.
He simply couldn't imagine how Mr. Weasley would face his good friend Ron, the twin brothers, and the kind and friendly Mrs. Weasley if he really lost his job because of this.
In contrast, Ron is worried about how his family, which is not already wealthy, will make ends meet if his father loses his job.
Will my mother come directly to school and strangle herself to death because of this?
In short, like all naughty children who get into trouble, they will only feel fear and regret when they realize the serious consequences of their actions.
Snape noticed this and immediately continued to add: "In addition to violating the Statute of Secrecy and the Misuse of Muggle Articles Act, you also harmed the very rare and precious magical plant in the school-the Whomping Willow. So please try again next time.
Use your brain more when doing this kind of thing, don't always be stupid and self-righteous."
"Next...next time? You mean, we won't be expelled, right?"
Harry immediately looked like a drowning man, trying to grab the last straw.
Because he would rather stay in Hogwarts and work as a handyman than be expelled and live with his aunt and uncle's family as an ordinary person.
"At least not this time. Just wait, after the sorting ceremony is over, Professor McGonagall will come to punish you personally."
After that, Snape waved his wand and instantly summoned a large pile of pies, sandwiches, roast chicken, mashed potatoes and other foods on his desk, then turned around and disappeared at the end of the corridor outside without looking back.
It wasn't until the footsteps gradually faded away that Ron and Harry, who were worried in the room, breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground as if they were weak.
Since I knew I wouldn't be prescribed, my intense hunger quickly returned.
This time, Harry didn't care whether the food might be drugged. He tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Ron, while he held the whole chicken and gnawed it wildly.
After eating almost half of the chicken, the two of them stopped at the same time, picked up the pumpkin juice on the table and drank it all.
When the hunger began to subside, Ron wiped the oil from his mouth and asked in an uncertain tone: "Man, don't you think Snape's attitude towards us today is a bit strange? If it had been before
, he will definitely use the topic to his advantage and wish he could expel us from the school."
"Well, it's a bit strange. His tolerance today is unbelievable. Even if Professor McGonagall were here, I'm afraid he wouldn't have such a good attitude." Harry nodded with deep understanding.
"Could this be some conspiracy?" Ron's persecution paranoia broke out on the spot.
"Probably not..."
There was strong uncertainty in Harry's tone.
Because he had no idea that his mother, who had been dead for many years, had been resurrected, and that he would soon have a stepfather.
I don’t know if the savior’s first reaction will be joy or pain and despair when he learns these two pieces of news at the same time?
After all, the person he hates the most is already living with the person he loves the most. Maybe there will be a few more half-brothers or sisters in the future...
In this way, in a peaceful atmosphere, the first day of the new semester passed without incident.
Although Harry and Ron received very severe warnings and punishments, under the heckles of the Gryffindor students, they soon forgot how scared they were when they stood in front of Snape, and instead felt happy
Laugh out loud.
However, this good mood did not last long.
Early the next morning, the owl messenger left a red roaring letter on the table. Ron was frozen in place, and the hand holding the letter was trembling.
"Oh - no!"
The youngest son of the Weasley family had a look of despair in his eyes.
"What happened?"
Hermione, who was sitting at the table eating breakfast, obviously noticed something was wrong.
Zuo Si smiled and responded: "Nothing, just a shouting letter. I think Mrs. Weasley must be very angry at what Ron did, so she wants to teach him an impressive lesson."
"Howler letter?"
It was obviously the first time Hermione heard this word, and a curious expression appeared on her face.
"That's right. A letter blessed with magic and used to express the writer's strong dissatisfaction. Different from ordinary letters that need to be read, you can understand that it is a communication method that directly transmits voice. As for the content, it is just like the name.
They are basically expressed in an angry and yelling way. Believe me, it will be very interesting when the letter is opened."
After saying that, Zuo Si raised the cup and took a sip of hot milk, looking like he was just watching the fun and not afraid of the trouble.
"You'd better open it quickly, because if you don't open it, the situation will be worse. Grandma once sent it to me, but I ignored it, and the result..." Neville, who was sitting at the next table, reminded carefully.
However, instead of making Ron feel relaxed, these words made Ron even more nervous.
Because the latter had already seen the red envelope starting to smoke at the dead end, and began to feel hot to the touch.
In the end, after Ron struggled for a moment, he still tore open the wax seal with the mentality of going to the execution ground.
The next second...
The deafening roar spread throughout the entire auditorium.
The volume was so loud that the dust on the ceiling was shaken down.
Mrs. Weasley's voice was like several roaring dragons, which could be heard clearly by everyone in the entire castle.
It has to be said that for Ron, this is simply a large-scale social death scene.
Just look at his pale face and uncontrollably trembling lips at this moment, and you will know how amazing the power of this roaring letter is.
Of course, for the other students present, this is perfect excitement and fun.
Especially not far away from the Slytherin House table, there was even more unceremonious mocking laughter. Master Malfoy was even happier than winning the jackpot. He only wished that there was no magic camera around him to capture this scene.
As a souvenir.
If there is another conflict in the future, he can take out this photo and severely humiliate the other party.
Fortunately, the duration of the roaring letter was not very long, and it ended in just over a minute.
But the trauma caused to Ron's young mind will obviously last for a long time.
It is easy to see from the depressed look in his eyes that before this incident is forgotten, he has no hope of being able to hold his head high among his classmates.
As for Harry, he felt more guilty.
Because the Weasley family gave him the happiest time during the holidays, and his response made Mr. Weasley almost lose his job and is being suspended for review.
The two of them looked dejected and stupid, and Hermione couldn't help but whisper: "I doubt that Ron and Harry have such a thing as memory. You don't know that, right? They were in Gryffindor last night.
Goofing around in the common room and thinking it would be cool to drive a flying car to school, not realizing that you have to pay the price."
"Isn't impulsive, pushy and reckless the common characteristics of boys of this age? So there is no need to be too harsh on them. They will gradually mature in a few years." Zuo Si smiled nonchalantly.
replied.
"What about you? You seem to be completely different from them. You have never done anything stupid." Hermione's eyes flashed with curiosity.
In her impression, from the moment she met Zuo Si until now, he has always remained calm, calm and mature.
Not to mention making mistakes, I have never even been nervous.
Whether it is the final exam that is enough to make most students feel extremely frightened, or standing on the podium to give open classes to well-known wizards from all over the world, or facing a mountain-like giant monster on Halloween last semester, I always maintain
With a calm demeanor that cannot be described in words.
If this kind of demeanor is normal for a person like Principal Dumbledore, he is also known as the greatest wizard of our time.
But it seemed very inconsistent when it appeared on Zuo Si, who was too young.
And Hermione herself was deeply attracted by this maturity, rationality and calm demeanor.
"My situation is a little special. I will consider telling you some secrets and truths when you grow older, but now is not the time." Zuo Si whispered in the girl's ear.
"Grow up a little bit?"
Hermione's eyes showed confusion and confusion.
She has no idea what her age has to do with it.
Zuo Si casually threw aside the milk that had been contaminated by dust falling from the ceiling, and patiently explained: "Some things may be too complicated for you now and cannot be well understood. Wait until this time next year or the year after.
, I will reveal some truths to you, the truth about this world and even the universe."
There is no doubt that these words completely ignited the curiosity and thirst for knowledge in the girl's heart, and her eyes flashed with a strange look: "You promise?"
"Of course, I promise. Because to me, you are the most special person in the world." Zuo Si responded meaningfully.
Instantly!
Hermione felt as if she had been electrocuted. Her heart suddenly began to beat wildly, and her neck to the roots of her ears instantly became red and hot. She even lowered her head shyly and did not dare to raise it.
