Harry returns from Hogwarts Legacy

Chapter 72 Potter is our king

To be honest, Filch is very unlikable. Even Hagrid, who is always a good guy, looks disgusted when he mentions Filch.

And now, the sight of Filch rushing towards him with this hideous face reminded him of Uncle Vernon.

But Uncle Vernon was different. After all, he was nominally his elder and at least took care of the meals - but what about Filch? He did nothing but be annoying.

The combination of the two factors made Harry's rage reach a new level.

Accusing me of petrifying your cat?

Ha ha……

If I were really a first-year student, I would probably try my best to explain to you that it was not me who petrified the cat.

Now?

Even if I am petrified, what can you do to me?
"Depulso!" He pointed his wand at Filch, and a spell shot out from the tip of the wand and hit Filch who was rushing over.

Filch flew backwards with a bang, as if he had been hit by a speeding truck.

"Ah--!!" Filch screamed, his limbs struggling weakly in the air.

"Harry!"

Dumbledore's urgent voice sounded from the entrance hall.

At the same time, a soft cushion appeared behind Filch. With the cushion's cushioning, Filch was not seriously injured.

"school……"

Before Filch could finish his words, Harry cast another spell.

"Petrificus Totalus!"

Filch froze, freezing on the cushions.

At this moment, the classmates were leaving the auditorium and happened to see this scene.

"Potter is our king!" The Weasley twins cheered loudly, enjoying the fun.

Filch's popularity is really not that good. After all, the ceiling of his office is hung with chains and handcuffs that he has polished to a shine, so that once he gets permission, he can use them to punish students who violate the rules. This is what he loves to do most.

He even used these chains and handcuffs to intimidate students. Many students were so scared that they dared not say a word and let him do the dirty and tiring work.

Now Harry actually gave Filch a severe lesson outside the hall, in front of all the teachers and students in the school, and even in front of the headmaster Dumbledore. How could the students not be excited?

Everyone started to boo, especially the Gryffindor students, who had received the most detentions and were the ones most intimidated by Filch.

Although the Slytherins did not applaud or cheer for Harry, it was clear from the looks in their eyes that they admired and recognized him.

This guy is so awesome.

"Potter!" Professor McGonagall's serious voice rang out from the entrance hall. She walked quickly to Harry and asked angrily, "Mr. Potter! What on earth is going on! How dare you...how dare you attack the castle's gatekeeper!"

"Professor McGonagall."

Even though he was angry, Harry still did not let his emotions affect his demeanor. He politely said to Professor McGonagall: "I think Professor you should understand the full picture before making a judgment on this matter." Professor McGonagall's lips trembled, and she was lamenting in her heart.

Oh no, this guy is another James!
He actually... actually attacked the castle's gatekeeper in front of the entire school...

The impact is extremely bad!

No, even James wouldn't dare to do that. At most, he would just cast two small evil spells on his classmates...

If Albus hadn't acted in time, Filch would have had to stay in the school hospital for several months!
"Very good spell combination! Excellent dueling skills!"

A shrill voice came from the crowd, and Harry looked where it came from. It was Professor Flitwick, the Head of Ravenclaw.

He was standing on tiptoe, with one hand raised as if trying to poke the ceiling, giving Harry a thumbs up.

Professor Sprout calmly pressed Professor Flitwick down. This situation, well... was obviously not suitable for praising students.

"Oh, I'm afraid now is not the right time to compliment Mr. Potter, Filius!" said Professor McGonagall, drawing her wand and pointing it at the stiff Filch, reciting the antidote.

There was a flash of red light, and the spell on Filch was broken, and he began to move again.

Filch, who regained his freedom, stood up. His anger at what happened to Mrs. Norris suppressed his fear of Harry. He pointed at Harry and said tremblingly, "This Potter! This Potter killed my Mrs. Norris! He even hung it on the wall! I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him!"

"You see?" Harry said calmly, "He was the one who wanted to kill me first, and even took action and rushed towards me... I think no one would remain indifferent after hearing such words, right, Professor?"

The boy was elegant, powerful, and calm, and even at the age of eleven, he was not to be underestimated.

He really should belong in Slytherin, Miss Farley, the Slytherin prefect, thought with some chagrin.

Professor McGonagall's expression was no longer as stern as before. She softened her expression a little and asked again, "What about this cat? Is Mr. Filch slandering you?"

Harry was a little surprised. Could it be that Professor McGonagall, who was fair, just and serious, would also protect her own child?

This sentence is equivalent to defining Filch's characterization - is he slandering you? The subtext is that she is willing to believe that Harry is innocent.

"He's right here!" Filch roared, his fat, sagging face turning purple. "That's him! Who else could have been at the crime scene except the murderer! And why weren't you in the Great Hall but outside? Explain what you were doing just now!"

"I did it, what can you do about it?" Harry crossed his arms and looked at Filch coldly: "Not only did I petrify your cat, I also dared to petrify you in front of the whole school -"

The crowd exclaimed. No one expected Harry to be so tough. He actually admitted it on the spot and even openly threatened Filch in front of the professors and the headmaster.

"Let me tell you."

A greasy, dragging sound came from not far away.

"I am here to testify for Mr. Potter. He was brewing potions in my Potions Office just now," Professor Snape rushed over like the wind. "I think Mr. Potter was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. We cannot wrongly accuse a good man."

Just when Harry was about to thank him, he found that Professor Snape changed the subject.

"Of course, we must not let any bad guy go... Mr. Potter attacked the castle's gatekeeper, especially in front of the professors. I think Gryffindor should be deducted 50 points as a punishment."

Harry looked up and saw Snape's mouth filled with pride.

From what he said, it was clear that no matter which Gryffindor violated the school rules, I, Snape, would be there to deduct points!
