“Professor McGonagall! Zhang Dong beat up the students!”
Seeing Professor McGonagall appear, Malfoy and his cronies immediately took the lead in accusing Zhang Dong.
Everyone at Hogwarts knew that Professor McGonagall was fair and just, so they were not afraid of her showing favoritism.
Hearing Malfoy's accusation, McGonagall looked up and down at Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle. Seeing the three of them with dust on their faces, she asked in a suspicious tone,
“You three, were you beaten up by Zhang Dong alone?”
“Yes,” Malfoy nodded repeatedly.
“Good job! …Ahem, I mean, Zhang Dong, how could you bully your classmates.” McGonagall almost shouted out her true thoughts.
Fairness is fairness. Her student, alone, fought three and won. Which professor wouldn't be happy about it? If the roles were reversed, and it was Malfoy fighting Harry, Ron, and Hermione, Snape might even have given Malfoy ten points.
Seeing McGonagall say this, Zhang Dong also said politely, “I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall. I shouldn't have attacked Malfoy and his friends, and I shouldn't have beaten them up so badly. After all, he merely took a memory ball from Neville, and maybe they just wanted to play a friendly prank on Neville. Even if the three of them pointed their wands at me, I shouldn't have fought back. But luckily, I only used 'Disarming Charm' instead of 'Stupefy'. No one was injured.”
Hmm?
McGonagall noticed something was wrong. She turned to Malfoy and asked directly,
“So, did you take Longbottom's thing and not return it?”
“This... Professor McGonagall, I didn't…”
“Lying is not a good habit, Mr. Malfoy. And although my Legilimency skills are not very high, it's still no problem to use it on a young wizard. After all, you shouldn't have mastered Occlumency, right, Mr. Malfoy.”
Professor McGonagall was just saying it. It wouldn’t be worth it to use Legilimency for such a small matter. However, Malfoy was still a little scared. He quickly took out the memory ball and handed it to Professor McGonagall, saying,
“Professor McGonagall, actually…”
Professor McGonagall interrupted him before he could finish, and then directly said to Zhang Dong, “Regardless, the fact remains that you bullied your classmates. Five points from Gryffindor.”
The little lions were immediately dejected.
But the next second, they heard Professor McGonagall continue, “And for helping a classmate retrieve a lost important item, and for fighting bravely against multiple opponents and winning, ten points to Gryffindor. This is a reward for your unity and bravery.”
“Hooray!” The little lions cheered happily.
Professor McGonagall smiled and then turned to Malfoy, “As for you, Mr. Malfoy, bullying classmates is not a good habit. Even if Professor Snape were here, the fact that three of you bullied one and still lost means you only have one result: five points from Slytherin!”
Huh?
Malfoy and his cronies looked blankly at Professor McGonagall, but she didn’t even look at them and turned to leave.
Professor McGonagall's handling of the situation was fine. After all, Zhang Dong was very measured in his conduct and knew how to control his strength. He also had the moral high ground of self-defense and helping his classmates. It would be strange if he was punished.
Looking at Professor McGonagall's departing back, Zhang Dong suddenly remembered something.
Wait?
Didn't Professor McGonagall come here for Harry? Oh right, he was having too much fun just now, which resulted in Harry not showing off his extraordinary flying skills, so naturally, Professor McGonagall didn't take Harry away.
Looking at Professor McGonagall's departing back, Ron couldn't help but say,
“Professor McGonagall still cares so much about the Flying Class, right? It’s true. It seems that since Charlie won, Gryffindor has not won the Quidditch Cup for seven years.”
Charlie Weasley, Ron's second brother, was also Gryffindor's previous Seeker. He led Gryffindor to win the Quidditch Cup in his second year. He graduated last year, so Gryffindor has a Seeker position open.
“Sigh, we probably won't be able to win the Quidditch Cup this year.” Simon also sighed.
Seven years. In these seven years, Slytherin had won four times, Hufflepuff, led by Cedric, had made a surprising comeback and won three times, while the veteran Gryffindor had fallen into decline. As for Ravenclaw…
The independent little eagles said, “You play your game, we'll just participate.”
Listening to these people's discussions, Zhang Dong also glanced at Harry beside him. It's just a Quidditch Cup, it's just lacking a Seeker. Tonight, I will use the video to show you the answer.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Hooch, who arrived late, had no idea what happened. In fact, she was quite happy that no students were secretly flying in the sky during her absence.
These students are really well-behaved.
Therefore, with a good mood, Mrs. Hooch also gave the students a relaxed Flying lesson until the end of class.
Zhang Dong straightened his messy hair and clothes, which were blown by the wind, and then headed towards the Great Hall.
He had decided to show everyone the Quidditch Cup tonight. But just as Zhang Dong reached the door, he felt a small hand gently patting his shoulder.
“Who is it?”
Zhang Dong turned around and saw a slender girl with delicate features and beautiful looks. She was wearing a blue-trimmed wizarding robe and was looking at him with a bright smile.
Seeing this figure, Zhang Dong also helplessly greeted her, “Good evening, sis.”
It wasn't that Zhang Dong was sweet-talking and called every pretty girl “sis.” But the girl in front of him was truly his sister.
The current Ravenclaw flower, Zhang Qiu.
