Hogwarts: I, Tom, am not the Dark Lord

Surrounding this girl were not only students from Ravenclaw, but also quite a few from the other two houses, all with expressions of sudden enlightenment.

I originally thought it was a personal reason, but it turned out to be a family tradition.

The more the girl dug, the more excited she became. "This Malfoy family is so revealing! They even boasted that they were the epitome of pure-blood, with no Muggle blood, but their ancestors actually received fiefdoms from William the Conqueror, which is now their ancestral home."

"In the 16th century, there was a man named Lucius I who, after failing to woo Elizabeth I, cursed her out of anger, allowing her to have contact with Muggle queens. This is enough to prove how close the Malfoy family's ties with Muggles were back then."

Some things are so heavy that they weigh nothing if you don't weigh them, and they won't stop even if you weigh them a thousand pounds.

With the concerted efforts of the young wizards, the dark history of the Malfoy family was completely uncovered.

The young wizards who had obtained some black material were so excited that they taunted and sneered at the Slytherin and searched the whole castle for the lone Slytherin.

Now, even the Slytherin students understood what was going on, and their faces became gloomy.

On Monday morning, when Little Snake ate, he had to endure the teasing looks from the other three colleges, and he wanted to bury his face in the plate. Only Tom was as calm as ever, slowly spreading butter on his bread.

When Malfoy appeared, the auditorium erupted in boos and laughter.

Malfoy's face turned pale, and before he even sat down, he hurriedly took two pieces of bread and ran out of the hall.

The teachers in the guest seats naturally saw the loud noise and the strange atmosphere, but they were all confused.

Dumbledore looked at Snape inquiringly. Snape stood up and left with a stern face, taking a Slytherin prefect with him.

Outside the hall, the prefect explained the reason. Snape felt dizzy and almost fainted.

Slytherin's reputation is ruined!

Chapter 45: The professor intervenes, both sides suffer

Human potential is endless. Snape never expected that a first-year student could cause him such a big trouble.

Although it was Malfoy who was embarrassed, it was obvious that the other three houses had escalated the matter to the level of the school.

Malfoy is the representative of Slytherin.

It's like one bad apple spoils the whole barrel.

No wonder his students had been swallowing their anger just now. This was not the Slytherin style at all. It was shameless and unreasonable.

If you ask him to come, he won't even have the courage to speak.

Snape now had the urge to escape. If Professor McGonagall knew about this, the look in his eyes would definitely be "very interesting".

But he had to go back, Dumbledore was still waiting for his letter.

Snape impatiently drove away the prefect, returned to the main guest seat with a sullen face, and whispered something to Dumbledore.

The old man's expression became visibly strange.

Although Snape lowered his voice, he couldn't say it right in Dumbledore's face.

Several deans sitting nearby had already pricked up their ears and heard everything, their expressions equally amused.

Professor Sprout was cheerful and it had nothing to do with her, so she just treated it as a joke.

Professor Flitwick was also smiling, but his brow was also frowning.

Professor Flitwick is extremely fond of dueling and was a dueling champion when he was young. In his opinion, dueling is an absolutely sacred thing, and he is dissatisfied with Malfoy's behavior.

As for Professor McGonagall, she no longer knew what expression to make.

"this..."

Dumbledore was also confused. He thought something big had happened just now, but it turned out to be this kind of... dispute.

But the matter was not serious, so it was difficult for him to handle it.

Could he shut the little wizards up and stop them from discussing?

"Professor McGonagall."

Snape turned his attention to McGonagall. "Putting aside other things, at least Potter and Weasley violated school rules and wandered around the castle at night. This is an established fact, right?"

Knowing that Snape was taking his anger out on his students, Professor McGonagall was also unhappy: "Snape, why did Potter and Weasley go on a night out? Shouldn't you ask Mr. Malfoy first?"

"We must always find the culprit first before discussing the issue of punishment."

Professor McGonagall emphasized the word "culprit" very much. Snape understood what she meant and his face twitched with anger.

"In that case, call them over." Dumbledore acted as a peacemaker, and the two men snorted and didn't look at each other.

Fifteen minutes later.

Harry, Ron, Malfoy, Crabbe, Filch and his cat, and several other parties (cats) were taken to a small room on the side of the corridor.

Dumbledore did not come, only the two headmasters involved did.

He believed that Professor McGonagall would handle the matter impartially, and even Snape believed that Professor McGonagall would handle the matter impartially and not favor students from her own college.

This was called credibility, something Snape had absolutely no such thing.

"Potter, tell me."

Professor McGonagall looked at the two of them sternly. "Did you two go out on a late-night stroll on Thursday night and visit the trophy room as the rumors say?"

"That's them, Professor McGonagall."

Before Harry could say anything, Filch spoke first, "I almost caught up with them that day. It was Peeves, the damned one. He was shielding these bad students and distracting me."

"Filch, I will question you in detail later. Please be quiet now."

Professor McGonagall calmly told Filch to shut up before continuing to stare at Harry.

"Yes, Professor. Ron and I did go to the trophy room at midnight on Thursday. Not long after we got there, Mr. Filch and his cat showed up. Their destination was very clear: we were the one they came for."

Things have come to this point and Harry can't back down. He directly reveals the fact that he was wandering at night and drags Malfoy to death with him.

Of course, he wasn't stupid enough to call out Hermione and Neville, and Tom was also selectively ignored.

This is enough to kill Malfoy.

"Mr. Malfoy, what do you have to say?" Professor McGonagall did not criticize Harry immediately, but turned to look at Malfoy. At this time, Malfoy's face was pale and bloodless. He hesitated for a long time and could not say anything.

Snape looked at Malfoy with a death stare, as if he were looking at a dead man.

"Filch, did Mr. Malfoy tell you that someone would be in the trophy room?"

"No, it's the big guy who always follows him. He's not here today."

"That's Mr. Goyle."

Professor McGonagall nodded and concluded, "The situation is very clear. Malfoy instigated Potter to duel with him, then told Filch the news, but he did not go, correct?"

No one spoke, but Professor McGonagall was waiting for Snape's opinion.

"That should be it." Snape took a deep breath and said, "Professor McGonagall, you can announce the punishment. I have no other opinion."

"Potter and Weasley violated school rules by going out at night. 50 points will be deducted from each of them. Starting next week, they will be detained in my office every night for a week."

Professor McGonagall's casual words almost cleared Gryffindor's points column.

Ron's legs gave way and he nearly fell to the ground, but luckily Harry caught him.

But Harry's own situation was not much better. He was prepared to be punished, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

One hundred points... The extra points he has received since the beginning of the school year are not even a fraction of this number.

Well, so far, Harry's bonus points are still 0.

Normally, Snape would have laughed out loud when he saw Gryffindor being deducted so many points and Harry being given detention.

But today he didn't, instead his expression became even more serious.

Malfoy is so cruel to his own people.

Sure enough, Professor McGonagall's next words confirmed Snape's guess.

"Mr. Malfoy, although you did not violate the school rules regarding night outings, it is not allowed to initiate a duel without authorization, and you also deceived your classmates..."

"For the sake of your family's reputation, I will announce to the public that you and Mr. Crabbe also went out for a night out. Therefore, Slytherin will also be deducted 100 points, and you two will need to go to Professor Snape's office to receive detention as punishment."

"I've finished speaking, does anyone have any comments?"

Chapter 46: Malfoy is isolated, Tom and Snape work in harmony

At lunchtime, almost everyone who came to the hall to eat saw the Gryffindor score column that had almost completely disappeared, and the Slytherin score column that had suddenly been cut in half.

Professor McGonagall also explained the reasons for the deduction in front of the whole school.

However, although she had defined the matter - points were deducted because of the night tour, and she never mentioned the word duel, she could not control what the young wizards thought.

At least now, Malfoy's cowardice has been confirmed in people's minds.

Not only did he bring shame to his family, but he also caused Slytherin to be deducted a huge amount of points, ruining their good lead.

Now, many of the little snakes looked at Malfoy with unfriendly eyes.

As for Gryffindor... although they were heartbroken about the score, everyone was happy that Harry and Ron could drag Slytherin into the water with them.

As long as Slytherin is unlucky, it doesn't matter if Gryffindor loses some points.

If it is not deducted today, it will definitely be deducted one day in the future. It is only a matter of time.

What's more, Harry reminded them to keep it secret that day and not to spread the news, so everyone was wrong.

Tom was also very happy. Now Ravenclaw was the first in the college, and Slytherin was far behind.

Now Professor Snape should be able to notice his importance, right?

Sure enough, in Friday's Potions class, Snape, contrary to his usual behavior, thought of Tom, the little extra scorer, and the first half of the class became a question-answering competition for the two of them.
