Boom boom boom!
There was a knock on the door of the Potions Office. Snape, who was sitting behind his desk marking papers, put down the parchment in his hand. Urged by the rapid knock on the door, he opened the wooden door of the office, looked at the student standing outside the door in surprise, frowned slightly and asked, "Mr. Malfoy, what's wrong with your face?"
"Professor, we saw Potter's ghost in Hogsmeade." Malfoy cried in horror.
"Come in and talk." Snape moved aside to let the three people into the office. "If you can't calm down for the time being, I have a tranquilizer here."
"We were just talking to Weasley outside Hogsmeade when a large piece of mud hit the back of our heads..."
Malfoy took a deep breath and began to tell how he saw Harry Potter's head floating in the air in Hogsmeade village, and how he fell and scraped his cheek on the way back to Hogwarts, probably because of a tripping curse.
"I already know about this. You'd better go to the school hospital to treat your injuries to avoid leaving scars!"
Snape signaled that they could leave. He was going to look for Potter, who, according to Malfoy, had apparently gone to Hogsmeade secretly.
Sure enough, that guy was as unruly as his father.
Looking at Snape's quickly departing back, Malfoy revealed a sneer of success on the corner of his mouth. Harry Potter would definitely be punished for this, and that guy would not be allowed to go to Hogsmeade village.
In fact, Malfoy had figured everything out on the way back to Hogwarts Castle.
The nearly one-hour journey was enough for him to calm down completely and think through the causes and consequences of everything.
He even figured out how to get revenge on Harry Potter.
Going to Professor Snape to complain was just one of Malfoy's ways of retaliating against Potter for throwing mud balls.
Today was the day that the furry big fool went to the Ministry of Magic to plead his case. Malfoy believed that no matter how hard Hagrid tried, everything was doomed, and he didn't believe that the hippogriff could escape the death penalty.
However, Malfoy decided to do something about the matter and postpone the beast's execution.
Yes, postpone.
There is a saying that a short pain is worse than a long pain.
As long as the beast is not executed, there is still hope. He wants to give the big guy hope, and then watch him step by step towards despair. He believes that he can leave the big guy with an unforgettable experience.
It would be best if the other party could let the Hippogriff go voluntarily, so that the guy would violate the laws of the Ministry of Magic.
As long as he is handled properly, even Headmaster Dumbledore can't save him. He will definitely be expelled from school in the end, and it would be best if he is imprisoned in Azkaban. I believe the expressions on Potter and Weasley's faces will be quite interesting at that time.
"pain!"
The pain on his face drew Malfoy's attention back to where Madam Pomfrey was helping him treat the scratches on his face. In order to prevent an ugly scar from being left on his cheek, Madam Pomfrey did not use magic to heal the wound directly. Instead, after cleaning it, she applied a large amount of distilled water essence on the wound.
"Okay, Mr. Malfoy, it will be completely healed in one day at the latest, and there will be no scars left. Don't wash your cheek before then."
Madam Pomfrey put away the bottle of distilled essence and motioned for the other party to give up the seat to someone else. Goyle and Crabbe also needed to treat the scratches on their bodies.
After giving the three of them a full-body check-up and making sure there were no sequelae, Madam Pomfrey signaled that they could leave the school hospital.
"We can't just let this go!"
Malfoy said indignantly, and his words were quickly agreed by his two companions.
On the way back to the Slytherin common room, Malfoy told his two lackeys about his plan.
"You're right. The longer it takes, the greater the damage to the big fool. We can even secretly let the beast go and put the blame on the big fool." Crabbe thought Malfoy's plan was very good.
It is well known that Potter and Hagrid have a very good relationship.
"The verdict should be over now. Would the Ministry of Magic be willing to change the execution time?" Goyle raised his doubts.
"As long as the excuse is reasonable, there will be no problem." Malfoy is very confident in his ability to make money.
On the other side, Snape, who was also very confident in his Legilimency, was staring at the old parchment in his hand in amazement.
He never thought that he would be insulted by a piece of parchment one day. Or rather, he was insulted by Arrowfork, Padfoot, Wormtail and Moony.
Those bastards!
Snape's face was twisted with anger.
He had already guessed whose nicknames these were.
Snape called Lupin through the Floo network on the fireplace and almost slammed the old parchment into the other's face in anger.
The negotiations between the two sides were not smooth.
Snape believed that the parchment was filled with dark magic, and that it was given to Potter by its maker.
The meaning was actually very clear, he was almost pointing at Lupin's nose and asking him: Was it you who gave this parchment to Potter
At the same time, it was also a warning to Lupin: I'm watching you.
Lupin's reaction was as Snape expected. He just used the excuse of a joke prop to brush him off.
This thing must have been made by those four people, Snape was convinced of it. He called Lupin here not to listen to the other party's perfunctory answer.
Just when Snape was about to expose the other party's lie and was about to burn the torn parchment in front of Lupin.
There was a change of plan.
Ron Weasley suddenly appeared outside the Potions Office, breathless, and directly admitted that the parchment was a gift he had bought from Zonko for Harry.
This was undoubtedly a stab in Snape's chest.
Of course, Snape knew that the three bastards in front of him were lying, but he couldn't provide evidence, which was what made Snape feel the most frustrated. He couldn't blatantly use Legilimency on other students and teachers.
At least, this cannot be used as evidence.
Lupin seized this opportunity very well and found a reason to take the two away. Before leaving, he not only took away the old parchment, but also saved Harry Potter from the punishment of confinement, making Snape's plan all come to nothing.
After Harry and Ron followed Lupin out of the Potions Office, Snape's face was completely twisted with anger as he recalled some very unpleasant memories, especially the expression on his face when Harry Potter mentioned that his father had saved him.
Stupid guy, don't know anything.
"Damn werewolf, don't let me find evidence, and it's better if I don't catch you with my own hands!"
Snape was so angry that he almost overturned his desk. He was determined to let Potter see his father's true face.
There is still a chance.
Next time, next time I must let Potter carefully copy down the great achievements left by his father.
