"What happened, Albus?"
When Professor McGonagall saw everyone, he immediately walked up to them and asked in a worried tone.
However, after seeing the three Kewens following Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but sink. Obviously, it must be something wrong with Kewen and the Weasley twins.
Even, the mistake was so serious that it required Headmaster Dumbledore to take action himself.
"Mr. Principal."
Hagrid also opened his mouth to greet Dumbledore at this time, and then stared at the three of Cowen and the others helplessly.
"Let's go into the house first." Dumbledore joked with a smile: "I need to sit down and rest first, these three troublemakers have made me toss enough in these three days."
"You..." Professor McGonagall yelled at the trio with a bit of resentment when he heard the words, "What did you do!"
"Uh, I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall..." Cowen apologized in a low voice, very embarrassed.
Professor McGonagall dotes on Cowen too much. An apology immediately made Professor McGonagall change his face. She wanted to turn to comfort, but stopped because the occasion was inappropriate. In the end, she could only sigh helplessly.
Soon everyone entered the principal's room.
After Dumbledore sat down, he raised his head and said to Professor McGonagall, "I'm sorry, Minerva, to bother you so late, let Hagrid talk to you about the situation first."
After receiving Dumbledore's hint, Hagrid immediately spoke truthfully about what happened in the Forbidden Forest.
During the lecture, Professor McGonagall looked at the trio angrily several times.
After Hagrid finished speaking, Professor McGonagall couldn't help being so angry that his chest kept rising and falling, and he reprimanded the trio again with excitement: "You are simply too bold!"
"Yes, I'm sorry..."
George wasn't as lively as he used to be, and for the first time Cowan saw a look of fear on his face.
Fred was not much better either, he lowered his head, not daring to look at the faces of Professor McGonagall and Headmaster Dumbledore.
"I'm so sorry..."
Kewen opened his mouth. Faced with such a situation, he had already prepared for the worst, and he might be expelled by Hogg.
After all, even Headmaster Dumbledore personally went to the Forbidden Forest to intercept him, so this matter must be really serious.
In Ke Wen's view, the future path of magic learning may have to find another way.
However, Kewen is still very responsible. Although he went to the Forbidden Forest because he was bewitched by the twins, he took the lead in killing the acromantula.
So, Kewen continued to speak: "Mr. Principal, Professor McGonagall, this mistake was all caused by me, George and Fred did not participate in it, they just simply went to explore in the Forbidden Forest.
So, if there is any punishment, please deal with them lightly. "
"No, that's not the case!"
Everyone was taken aback by Ke Wen's words, and then George immediately retorted anxiously: "I was the one who persuaded Ke Wen to go to the Forbidden Forest with us first!"
"Yes, it is!"
Fred also quickly raised his head and echoed: "Also, we didn't take the initiative to harm the creatures in the Forbidden Forest. The acromantula attacked us on its own initiative, and we were forced to fight back!"
Professor McGonagall interjected with a frown, and reprimanded: "But no matter what, you have violated the prohibition of the college! Every year at the opening dinner, Mr. Principal will reiterate the prohibition of 'no approaching the forbidden forest'!"
"Yes, I'm sorry..." Fred bowed his head timidly again: "Please don't fire us."
"Yes, please don't fire us!" George was equally terrified: "Mom will kill us..."
"Mr. Principal..." Although Hagrid had a huge, oppressive figure, he had a kind and gentle heart. When he suddenly heard the word 'expulsion', he couldn't help worrying about the trio.
Therefore, he hurriedly said to Principal Dumbledore with a look of pleading: "Mr. Principal, they are all just offenders for the first time, and they all know that they are wrong. This matter is not that serious. Please don't expel them."
Professor McGonagall had worked with Dumbledore for so many years, and she knew Dumbledore, so he knew that the fault of the trio was not as serious as being expelled.
But even so, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but worry that Dumbledore's punishment for this matter would be too severe.
After Dumbledore saw this, he raised his hand and pressed down, preventing Hagrid from continuing to intercede.
Staring at the sincerely remorseful trio, Dumbledore was silent for a moment, and then said: "I can make an exception once and promise Hagrid's plea to you..."
Ke Wen was surprised, but the twins suddenly looked up at Dumbledore, their faces full of surprises of the reversal of the situation.
"However, heavy punishment is inevitable." Dumbledore pronounced the sentence in a flat tone: "So I decided to give you three, with fifty points deducted from each! In addition, there will be three months of confinement!"
The three of Kewen breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the words.
Seeing this, Dumbledore shook his head slowly, and said, "Don't think that the punishment is light. Listen carefully. During the confinement period, you need to do the following things."
"First: sort out the academy's punishment records from previous years, and transcribe them. Automatic quill pens are not allowed."
"Second: Carry out various cleaning tasks in the castle, and Mr. Filch, the gatekeeper, will arrange and supervise you."
"Third: You must accompany Hagrid to patrol the Forbidden Forest and take care of all kinds of dangerous magical creatures."
"Fourth: You will be prohibited from participating in 'Quidditch' activities during the confinement period."
"Finally, I must write to your parents about the mistakes and punishments you committed this time."
After listening to Dumbledore's breakdown of the five types of punishment, Ke Wen and the twins all showed somewhat desperate expressions.
For the twins, every single item of punishment felt like the world was falling apart.
What they yearn for is freedom and joy, and each of these punishment items will make them lose their freedom and joy.
Cowen wasn't much better.
Losing freedom during the confinement is nothing. After all, he can become a nerd. As long as he has a book to read, it doesn't matter whether he does other things or not.
For example, the following three punishment items, writing a letter to tell parents not to participate in Quidditch, and patrolling the Forbidden Forest, these subjects can be readily accepted.
But the first and second are very torturous.
Copying records and doing hard work, how much of his precious time will be wasted...
"Oh, right."
In the dejection of the trio, Dumbledore spoke again: "According to Hagrid's report, those acromantulas all lost their venom and legs."
Dumbledore asked with a hidden smile: "Can you tell me, where did the venom and spider legs go?"
The three of Ke Wen couldn't help but look at each other, and then reluctantly chose to confess...
