Hogwarts Asylum
56. Informal
"Professor McGonagall, can I refuse?"
"Huh?" Professor McGonagall, who was in high spirits, thought she might have heard something. She asked softly with a smile on her face, "What did you just say, Mr. Malfoy?"
Harry looked at Draco in surprise. He thought Malfoy might be crazy. How could he refuse such a good opportunity?This is an exception for the first year to join the Quidditch team!Didn't Malfoy always like to be the limelight in class?
Draco felt that Professor McGonagall's smile was a bit dangerous, but he still mustered up the courage to speak the truth.
"Professor McGonagall, I mean, can I not join the Quidditch team?"
"why?"
"Because..." Draco hesitated for a moment, then told the truth, "Because I want to be an alchemist, like Nico Flamel, but I still have a lot of books I haven't read and a lot of knowledge I haven't learned yet. Understand……"
Professor McGonagall looked at Draco with a complicated expression. She was not angry because of being rejected. On the contrary, she liked Draco even more because he knew what he wanted, which many students failed to do until they graduated. Things to learn.
But she still wanted to test it out again.
"What if I don't join and I have to be imprisoned with Longbottom and the others?"
Hearing this, Draco looked up into Professor McGonagall's eyes and said firmly: "It doesn't matter, Professor McGonagall, as long as you can read in solitary confinement."
At this time, a burst of applause suddenly sounded from behind everyone.
Orolin emerged from the corner, applauding as he said, "Well said, Draco, I'm proud of you, and I'm sure Lucius and Narcissa are too."
With that said, O'Loughlin looked at Professor McGonagall, "Professor McGonagall, can I be responsible for Draco's confinement?
In fact, the reason why he wanted to be an alchemist was because of me.
You know, I have been studying alchemy since I inherited my mother's inheritance. The reason why I came to Hogwarts to work was because I wanted to find an assistant in the school and pass on alchemy by the way. Depor is the one I like, his talent is very good. "
"Oluolin, you..."
Professor McGonagall has never been very fond of the young wizard Eurolin, not only because of the ridiculous things Eurolin did when he was in school, but also because learning Animagus can improve some of the wizard's abilities, and McGonagall What the professor has acquired is a keen intuition like a cat.
When Oluolin was in school, Professor McGonagall felt that he was a somewhat dangerous little wizard, but the feeling was not very deep. But it is different now. Ever since he saw Orolin again in the principal's office, every time Ouluolin felt that he was a dangerous little wizard. With Lin beside him, Professor McGonagall always had the urge to explode.
So she really wanted to reject Orolin, for fear that Orolin would lead Draco, whom she was very optimistic about, to bad luck, but she also sincerely hoped that Draco could realize his ideal, and in Hogwarts, he could do alchemy well. The only one who surpassed Orolin was probably the unfathomable Dumbledore, but it was impossible for Dumbledore to lead an apprentice.
"Sigh... yes, but I will check Draco's homework often," Professor McGonagall sighed softly, and agreed to Orolin's request, but she added with an implicit threat, "And, if Draco, like when you were in school...you know the consequences."
Without waiting for Orolin to answer, Draco said to Professor McGonagall on the spot: "I will definitely study hard! I will definitely live up to your expectations!"
Draco then bowed deeply to Eurolin in a very formal manner.
Draco was very excited. This was the first time that Mr. O'Loughlin announced his identity as a future assistant in front of outsiders. Although it was not like what his father said, he would send out invitations to entertain guests and then officially announce it to the outside world, but it also meant that With this, from now on, I can call myself Mr. O'Loughlin's alchemy apprentice!
"Please give me your advice in the future, Mr. O'Loughlin!"
"Although it's not very formal, but..." Olorin patted Draco and asked him to stand up, "You can call me teacher from now on, and I will write a letter to your family to inform you of this matter. As for a formal announcement... "
O'Loughlin paused and said, "Let's wait until you graduate."
In the corridor, Wood and Harry looked at each other. Suddenly, for a moment, they both felt that they were redundant here, but they didn't know whether they should leave quietly.
Fortunately, they didn't have to be embarrassed for long before Olorin left.
"D... cough, Malfoy, this is the path you have chosen. I will not stop it, but I hope you can always pay attention to your words and deeds. If you violate school rules..." Professor McGonagall stared at Draco without thinking. After she finished speaking, Draco already understood her subtext, "Okay, you go back to class first."
After sending Draco back to flying lessons, Professor McGonagall turned to look at the remaining Wood and Harry. She said to Wood: "Wood, leave Potter to you, don't let me down."
After saying that, Professor McGonagall left with some disappointment.
"Professor McGonagall seems a little unhappy?" Harry asked, looking at Professor McGonagall's back.
Wood shrugged: "Maybe. Professor McGonagall likes Quidditch very much. I heard that she almost became a professional player when she just graduated, so she has always been paying attention to our team. But as I said before, Quidditch was just selected this year. The Sly twins will definitely be very good batters, and the tacit understanding between the twins makes them like two bludgers on the field. Together with you, we still have a good chance of winning the Quidditch Cup this year."
After telling Harry about the team's training time, Wood went back to class, leaving Harry alone in the corridor.
At the side of the flying course, Draco was being stopped by Hermione and asked questions.
Hermione was really worried. Mrs. Hooch suddenly deducted 200 points from Gryffindor, causing Gryffindor, which was originally ranked first among the four major houses, to fall to third place. Although Slytherin was at the bottom, But Hermione was afraid that the always fair Professor McGonagall would deduct a few more points.
Draco was in a good mood, so he very patiently explained to Granger what Professor McGonagall had asked him and Potter to do.
"You mean, Harry is allowed to join the Quidditch team as an exception?! This is impossible!" Hermione screamed.
"what?!"
The first years of Gryffindor and Slytherin heard Hermione scream and screamed too.
Gryffindor's side is because they think this is incredible. Although everyone does have fantasies in their hearts, when the fantasies happen around them, everyone still can't believe it.
Slytherin's side is because they think this is very unfair. Why can Potter make an exception and join the Quidditch team!Just because he was the Boy-Who-Lived?
"Huh?" Professor McGonagall, who was in high spirits, thought she might have heard something. She asked softly with a smile on her face, "What did you just say, Mr. Malfoy?"
