52. Punishment



"Prefect, do you have the same problem as us?" Magos left Hufflepuff and went straight to the lounge where Percy was.

"Magos, are you crazy? Didn't Professor McGonagall tell us to stay in the lounge?" Percy shouted exaggeratedly when he saw Magos walking over.

"Prefect Percy, why do I feel that these words are false when I hear them from you? Don't forget that you were the first one to rush forward just now." Magos curled his lips.

"Pfft!" The other fifth grade students couldn't help laughing, and Percy looked at them hatefully. "A bunch of traitors."

"Okay, tell me, why did you come to me?"

"We solved the problem of our lounge, now we can all go in, I just want to ask you, do you have the same problem as us?"

Percy and a group of senior Gryffindors looked at Magos like a monster. When did such a freak appear in the Lion House, which only knows how to solve problems with fists? !Magos felt uncomfortable looking at them and coughed heavily.

The fifth-year Gryffindors looked at each other as if they were waking up from a dream. They all saw in their eyes that they had just thought the same thing. It was indeed a tacit understanding between the two houses, and then they looked at each other and smiled.Magos was horrified by their laughter. They couldn't be gay.

"The problem is different." Percy looked at Magos's weird look. Although he didn't understand, he also knew that it was definitely not a good idea, so he hurried back. "But you can give it a try." He said and let him go to the door knocker.

Magos knocked on the door knocker. The problem was as weird and unsolvable as theirs. He explained all the physical and chemical formulas and conjectures he knew to no avail, so he had no choice but to say goodbye to them.

When it was time for dinner, Percy came over and said that the professor wanted them to gather in the dining room. Principal Dumbledore came back. His face looked very nervous. Magos and Harry comforted him for a few words but said nothing.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they found that the entire restaurant was completely silent. It was completely different from the bustle in the past. The students who came earlier had their heads lowered, showing humility and regret. Magos and the others walked to the dining table and sat down. After you get off the hook, quickly imitate them, and make an attitude first before talking about it.

Soon everyone arrived, and Dumbledore's hawk-like eyes scanned the whole place, especially staying among the four prefects for a long time, making them restless.

"Today, an extremely serious violation of school rules occurred in Hogwarts, the first since the school was founded, and an act that I can't even imagine." He paused.

"Our four colleges actually openly fought in the school, and it was the prefect who led the students of all grades together, which made me deeply sad. So, I decided." All the students looked up and looked at the principal pitifully, although they could not say anything. They blamed everyone, but the principal's deep-rooted awe among the people for a long time still made them involuntarily frightened.

"I have decided..." Principal Dumbledore's words also attracted all the professors. Although they all hated their behavior, when the principal made the announcement, they were still a little worried that the principal was too harsh.

"I have decided that there will be no meat for dinner today, only vegetables." After the principal finished speaking, the students looked at the stern principal in their eyes in shock, and then cheered, happily praising the bearded old man in the middle of the classroom.The professors were stunned after hearing this. We don't want to be too harsh, but is this considered punishment?

"Albus, you are encouraging them to violate school rules again." Professor McGonagall was so angry that she stopped calling the principal's name.

"Professor McGonagall," the principal said calmly, "I can understand your thinking, but this time is really difficult to handle. No matter who you punish, it is impossible to really solve the problem. What if you want to punish Ravenclaw? But they are just carrying forward the traditions of their academy. Is it wrong to be smart? Moreover, they are just playing a prank this time. If you punish them, will they only be able to study in their own circle in the future? Punishment takes the initiative to challenge The person who started the fight? Gryffindor? They did start the fight first, but they were only there for the afternoon class. Could it be that no one came forward when such a thing happened? Then we should be really sad. So I think They did the right thing. I don’t need to tell them whether to punish Hufflepuff and Slytherin in the end. They are just a group of unlucky children who were involved. They should stay away from the fun. If you punish everyone now, you What do you want me to punish them for? Do they all get a one-time penalty? They are still children, and fighting and fighting are very common. We cannot suppress the nature of children too much."

"You're always right, Dumbledore, but it's still hard for me to accept that they broke school rules and were punished by not being able to eat meat," she said angrily.

"Okay, okay, you're right. This will indeed make them do it again. Let me think about it, how to punish them? By the way, how about punishing them to help Hagrid guard the Forbidden Forest."

"Isn't this too dangerous?" Professor McGonagall, who originally thought the punishment just now was too light, felt it was a bit harsh.

"It's not dangerous. Nothing will happen to them as long as Hagrid is with them. And you are right. Doing nothing will only make them more unscrupulous." He coughed lightly as he spoke.

echoed through the restaurant.The busy restaurant slowly became quiet.

"I just had a discussion with the professors and felt that the punishment just now was a bit too hasty. Now I will add another one." The principal's words made the happy crowd feel a little resentful. This is a joke. It's a shame that we praised you like that just now.

"Well, I will tell you the new punishment now." Mr. Principal's face was trained, and he directly ignored the resentment in the entire restaurant.He opened his mouth and said, "The punishment is that starting from tomorrow, 12 students from seventh grade downwards will be selected to patrol the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid every day. Note that you are not fighting each other, so among the 12 students, four from each college will be selected."

Everyone was silent after hearing the principal's words. Except for a few people who found this punishment interesting, most students were very resistant to going to the Forbidden Forest.

"Okay, it's a happy decision. The punishments are these two. No meat today and going to the Forbidden Forest." The principal said happily and then clapped his hands. A lot of green and healthy food suddenly appeared on the table.

"How could this be possible? They actually asked us to go to the Forbidden Forest!" Hermione whispered dissatisfied.

"It's not a big deal, don't you think it's interesting?" McGoss had the exact opposite idea.

"Interesting? You actually find it interesting. If you guys hadn't been fighting, would this have happened?" Hermione's anger suddenly rose.

"Okay, don't get excited. The punishment has been handed down anyway, so it's useless for you to say this now."

Hermione angrily tossed the vegetables around her.

"Oh, I really don't want to eat these." Ron lifted a piece of green vegetables with his fork, "What I hate most is these green foods."

"I think it's good." Harry said happily while chewing vegetables. "At least the principal didn't let us go without dinner?"

"Okay, you're right." He said with a confused look on his face, put the vegetables on the fork into his mouth, and started eating with a grimace.

Magos is fine, he actually likes vegetables, especially when the elves are pretty good at cooking.

After eating, the principal ordered the Ravenclaws to accompany the people in each lounge to solve the door knocker problem. The Ravenclaws reluctantly sent people to follow them to the lounge.

Eddie Carmichael volunteered to join Magos's team. Even though Hermione and the others said that they had unlocked the door knockers, he ignored them. Not only that, he also looked at them contemptuously.This made them secretly angry, and they were ready to wait until they got to the lounge to let him have a good look at him.

When they arrived at the door of the lounge, Dean shouted the answer to the knocker before Eddie and sent it to the door of the lounge, leaving Eddie dumbly watching them file in.

"Don't be stupid. People in Ravenclaw are indeed very smart, but that doesn't mean there aren't smart people in other places." Magos patted his shoulder from behind.

"Do you know how many of us spent a long time figuring out this problem? It was actually solved by a group of you freshmen? How is this possible?" He couldn't believe it.

"Sometimes there will always be one or two geniuses that are hard to reach, right?" He said with a mysterious smile.

Seeing his expression, Eddie reacted completely, "Is it you?" He looked at Magos in disbelief.

McGoss neither admitted nor denied, just smiled.This made Eddie believe his guess even more.The look he was looking at him now was no longer as casual as before. A person whose intelligence was as good as most of their Ravenclaws was enough for him to take a high look.

"I'm becoming more and more interested in the activities you mentioned at noon. Can you tell me about it?"

"With pleasure." Magos smiled and invited him into their lounge.

When the people in the lounge saw Eddie come in, they were still a little angry at his arrogant attitude. Soon everyone was in the dormitory, except Harry and the three of them.

"Is this your plan?" Eddie looked at the three of them with wide eyes. He was a smart man and knew the risks and achievements of this plan as soon as he heard it.

"You are so bold, but this plan is indeed very interesting. I am participating. Don't you want a few more people? I will be responsible for the people in Ravenclaw. They are absolutely reliable and capable."

"Then it's settled. I've already made an agreement with the other three colleges. In three days, you will take the Ravenclaw people to support my notice, and I will take you to our secret base." Magos I hugged him and sent him out of the lounge.

"Are we about to start?" Harry looked at him excitedly.

"That's right, everyone is here now. We can really start our plan in three days."

"Hehe, I can't wait." Ron giggled, imagining that after their success, their legend would spread in Hogwarts.
