Harry returns from Hogwarts Legacy

Chapter 73: Lao Deng, are you teaching me how to do things?
With Professor Snape's testimony, Filch had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

At this moment, Dumbledore also walked in from the inside of the hall.

He first waved his wand to take Mrs. Norris down from the wall, then checked her with magic, raised his head and said, "Relax, Argus, Mrs. Norris is not dead, but has been hit by a petrification spell - this is a very advanced black magic, even I can't do anything about it."

"This also proves Harry's innocence. It is impossible for a first-year student to be exposed to this kind of dark magic." Dumbledore added.

"My cat, my cat!" Filch's face was very ferocious. "Someone must pay the price for this!"

"But this does not make innocent people pay for it, Argus." Dumbledore said in a deep voice. He turned his head and looked at Harry: "At the same time, Harry, you will also be punished for your actions - next Thursday night, you and Hagrid will go to patrol the Forbidden Forest together."

"Since Professor Snape has already deducted points from Gryffindor, I will not impose any additional punishment," Dumbledore said again.

"Yes, Headmaster." Harry bowed very straight, "But I don't think I did anything wrong."

The eyes of the students present changed from shock to admiration. They never expected that after beating up the school staff, Harry would refuse to admit his mistake with the principal.

If it were any other student, they would have admitted their mistakes to the principal long ago, right?!
What about this person? This person actually said in front of the principal, I am not wrong.

This is no longer ordinary courage!

"Oh, of course not." Dumbledore smiled meaningfully at Harry: "Harry, your mistake is to use spells on people in front of them."

Harry looked at this old schoolmate and felt that he was teaching him how to do things.

but……

"I do admit that." Harry nodded in agreement.

He understood the principal's implication, which was that it would not be a mistake if no one saw it.

"Well, prefects, please take your classmates home," Dumbledore said to everyone, "it's getting late."

After this little episode, Harry and his friends gave up the idea of ​​going to the Room of Requirement.

After all, Gryffindor had just been deducted 50 points, and Harry had also beaten up the castle gatekeeper in front of the entire school. It would be somewhat inappropriate to go out for a night stroll at this time.

Who knows if Professor Snape will keep a close eye on them and deduct severe points from Gryffindor if he catches them?
After returning to the Gryffindor common room, Harry thought he would be criticized by his classmates - after all, no matter what the reason, he had deducted fifty points from Gryffindor.

But what he didn't expect was that he would receive a hero's welcome.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I could even see a few Hufflepuff badgers in the Gryffindor common room.

"Harry, you are this!" Lee Jordan was the first to speak. He showed his white teeth. Against the backdrop of his dark skin, his teeth were as dazzling as the bright moon in the night.

Too bright...

Harry was a little confused. He looked at Hermione who was applauding him, then looked at the cheering classmates around him, and asked puzzledly: "Didn't I just deduct 50 points from Gryffindor? Why are you..."

"Points deducted?" the Weasley twins said in unison. "Goodness me, Harry, you've earned three points for Gryffindor from Snape, that's enough for us to brag about for the rest of our lives—"

"I agree with that." Percy straightened up seriously and applauded Harry, but still said: "But I have to say, Harry, you obviously have a better way to deal with it..."

"Oh my god, Percy, please stop spoiling the fun." The Weasley twins rolled their eyes together. Their words were recognized by all the Gryffindor students, and even the Hufflepuffs nodded.

"We brought butterbeer and cookies." said the tall and handsome Hufflepuff boy. "Let's have a party for Harry to defeat the damn Filch!"

It was Cedric Diggory, whom Harry knew.

"Great!" the students shouted.

"I have some Muggle snacks," said Harry, "you can share them."

"I'll go, Harry," volunteered Ron.

After a while, Ron came out dragging Harry's suitcase.

Harry's eyelids twitched.

Boy, you are going to empty my stock.

But he did not stop Ron. Such an opportunity to quickly close the distance between classmates was very rare.

"Oh! For our Lion King!" Fred stepped on the stool and shouted.

"Potter! Potter! Potter!" everyone cheered.

"I don't understand." Hermione asked senior Angelina Johnson in the noisy crowd: "Why are people so happy, as if it's not Gryffindor who was deducted points?"

"It's regrettable that Gryffindor was deducted points, but it's exciting news that Filch got beaten up," Angelina said loudly. "You know, when I was in my first year, I was put in detention for a trivial matter, and Filch actually hung me on the rafters with shackles and spanked me!"

"I've been threatened too!" "Me too!" "Me too!"

People around were complaining to Hermione one after another, and it was obvious from the gnashing of teeth on her face that she had a deep hatred for Filch.

"His cat is as annoying as he is, and has a sharper nose than a dog," one of the students complained. "I'm so fed up with both of them. Neither the cat nor Filch gets any sympathy from me! Any!"

"But." Hermione suddenly said, "Principal Dumbledore wants Harry to be detained, and in the Forbidden Forest... I remember when the school started, Principal Dumbledore warned that the Forbidden Forest was a very dangerous area and that young wizards would never be allowed to go there... Will he be in danger?"

"Dangerous?" Angelina picked up a can of Coke: "Huh? How do I do this?"

"Let me help you." Hermione took the can of Coke, opened the pull ring with a click and handed it back to Angelina.

"It's delicious." Angelina took a sip and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

She put down the Coke in her hand and said to Hermione in a slightly exaggerated tone: "Oh my God, Hermione, you actually have such an idea... Our savior has already proved his strength. What you need to worry about next is not whether he is in danger, but..."

"But whether the Forbidden Forest is in danger," said Arya Spinnet.

Although her classmates all said this, Hermione was still a little worried.

Harry is just a first grader. Can Hagrid really protect him from the dangers of the Forbidden Forest?
