HP: Wizards at Hogwarts

Chapter 74 The Most Successful Defense (Please Subscribe!!)

At the dinner party.

The number of people dining in Slytherin was significantly less.

This strange situation naturally attracted the attention of the professors.

After making a few inquiries, the professors quickly learned what had happened at the study club that afternoon.

So Elaine was called to the teachers' table.

The young wizards who were eating in the dining hall stopped eating, hundreds of eyes staring intently at Elvin as he walked toward the teachers' table, whispering among themselves.

They had obviously all heard about what Eleven had done to the Slytherin students, and some had even heard embellished versions of what he had said.

The short distance of about ten meters from the Hufflepuff table to the teachers' seat felt like a whole day's walk!

Snape stared fiercely at Elivin with his wicked and resentful eyes.

Although he didn't utter a word, it was as if he had said everything.

Even if the resentment on his body materialized into a giant bat and pounced on him the next moment, Elivin would not be surprised at all.

Professor Quirrell also looked at Elaine with an incredibly complex expression.

Since Quirrell is a minor character in the original story, and Elaine has only been at Hogwarts for less than two weeks, it's difficult to see the true nature of Quirrell's character.

Elaine didn't know whether Professor Quirrell truly submitted to Voldemort or was simply obeying him to save his own life.

Professor Sprout looked at Elaine with a determined gaze.

What she wanted to express was very clear: no matter what, the dean is on your side.

"Mr. Yakut, do you know what you've done?"

Professor McGonagall was the first to launch an attack.

She put on a serious expression, but her eyes were full of heartache.

This poor little badger, just how badly was he bullied that he had to freeze those Slytherin students into ice sculptures?

Freezing students into ice sculptures would be considered a very serious "fight" incident at Hogwarts.

Not to mention that those frozen were all pure-blooded wizards, with intricate wizarding families standing behind them.

Making a big fuss about this will definitely not do Elaine any good.

Therefore, Professor McGonagall wanted to preemptively define the matter before the pure-blood families caused a commotion, deal with Elivin with minimal punishment, and then let it go.

"I understand perfectly well, Professor McGonagall."

Elaine replied, "This afternoon, the Slytherin upperclassmen broke into the Study Club and caused trouble, forcing the underclassmen from my house to leave my club. They also said that if I didn't do as they said, they would join forces with pure-blood families to make it impossible for me to move forward in the wizarding world in the future."

"I stated that the study club was established with the approval of the professors, with the aim of enabling all students to help each other and make progress together. All club members are free to come and go, and they have no right to force others to leave."

Sprout smiled slightly and nodded secretly.

She was incredibly proud that the students in her college had such correct and unwavering beliefs.

Professor Flitwick stood up excitedly and applauded.

However, after making two "clap" sounds, he realized that it was inappropriate, so he quickly sat back down and put his hands under the table, clapping gently.

Elaine's voice remained neither humble nor arrogant.

"After I rejected them, the Slytherin upperclassmen got angry. They called me a Mudblood," and simultaneously launched a sneak attack, casting several extremely evil, vicious, insane, and dangerous spells on me."

"I was forced to take action, but it was only on the defensive, not a counterattack."

"But they wouldn't let it go and wanted to continue attacking me."

"I couldn't tell whether they would use even more evil, vicious, crazy, or dangerous spells later on. To protect myself and for the safety of the other members in the gang at the time, I could only temporarily control their actions."

A perfect defense!

Elaine secretly gave himself a thumbs up.

"How could they do something so outrageous to you?!"

Professor McGonagall stood up abruptly, her expression even more serious and earnest than before.

Before this, she thought that the Slytherin people were only 95% at fault in the whole affair, while Elaine was still 5% at fault.

But after hearing that the Slytherin students had threatened, "ambushed" and insulted Eleanor and were unrepentant, in her mind, the Slytherin students' fault rate jumped to 200%, while Eleanor was 100% right!

"Oh dear, poor child."

Professor Sprout stood up from his seat, walked across the table to Elaine's side, hugged him tenderly, and gently patted his back.

Elaine: "————"

Professor Flitwick clenched his fist quietly, his expression also becoming extremely serious.

The students below didn't dare to utter a sound.

They had never seen Professor Flitwick show such an expression in all their years at Hogwarts.

"Severus, what do you have to say about this?!"

Professor McGonagall turned to look at Snape, her voice rising considerably.

Everyone present could see that Professor McGonagall was truly angry this time.

She was so angry that she called Snape by his full name, without even adding the title "Professor"!

The young wizards all turned to look at Snape, awaiting his answer.

Everyone thought that Snape would definitely defend the students of his house.

But the truth is, Snape at that moment only wanted to say "you deserved it" to the frozen students, and "well done" to Eleven.

Snape hated the word "Mudblood" more than anything in his life!

Because of this word, he paid an extremely heavy price—his lifelong love and more than thirty years of regret!

However, to outsiders, Snape's furious expression appeared to be an expression of rage stemming from Elaine's defense.

He panicked!

Professor Snape was in a panic!

The young wizards of Gryffindor all lay on the table, secretly suppressing their laughter.

"That's just your side of the story!"

"Mr. Yakut, is there anyone who can testify to what you just said?"

Snape finally spoke.

He wanted Elaine to find witnesses so that the Slytherin students' crimes could be firmly established and they could be properly punished.

However----

not good!

Professor Snape wanted to exonerate his student!

snort!

They won't shed a tear until they see the coffin!

Harry immediately stood up and shouted, "I was in the Study Club at the time and witnessed the whole thing. I can vouch for everything Elaine said!!"

"Furthermore, there were many other people in the club present at the time, and they can all testify!"

After saying that, he gave Snape a smug look.

Snape: "————"

Does this kid think I can't tell what he's thinking?

That's incredibly stupid!

He's a fool just like his father!
