A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

"Haha! There are still fish that slipped through the net!" Filch sneered, "But I'm unlucky, so I have to fall into the trap myself."

"Good evening, you two." Professor McGonagall said solemnly, "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Why don't you come over quickly?"

Harry and Ron just felt that they were extremely unlucky. Although they got information from the professor who designed the mechanism to protect the Philosopher's Stone tonight, overall, the gains outweighed the losses.

The two walked to Professor McGonagall anxiously, lowered their heads first, and then looked at Aaron and Draco with suspicious eyes.

Filch usually patrols the castle, but why did he suddenly come to Hagrid tonight, and Professor McGonagall was also accompanied by him.

They didn't think it was a whim, it was definitely someone who snitched on him.

"Don't look at us like that. We were bumped into by Filch and Professor McGonagall just a few steps after we came out." Aaron said disdainfully, "So, don't insult our noble character with your suspicious eyes. ”

"This is all the fault of Mrs. Norris." Filch said proudly, "It found Aaron, then told me, and I called Professor McGonagall.

In fact, I should have asked Professor Snape. After all, he was the Head of Slytherin, but his office was a little far away.

But now it seems that surprisingly, the wrong person was found. There are actually three Gryffindors and two Slytherins.

Three to two, Professor McGonagall, I wonder how you plan to deal with it? "

"Confinement, confinement for all.

But before that I have to figure out why. Professor McGonagall looked at the five students in front of her expressionlessly, "What are you doing here at night?" Don’t you know that students are not allowed to walk around campus at night without permission? "

"Professor, let me tell you!" Draco sneered and glanced at Harry and others, then took a step forward, "Although we stayed up all night, it was entirely for a reason.

Of course, I'm talking about me and Aaron, not Potter, Weasley, and Granger. "

"Do you want to take the two of you out?" Professor McGonagall said, "Don't think about it. No matter what the reason is, you can't escape the confinement you deserve."

The corner of Draco's mouth twitched, and he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the half-smiling expressions on the faces of the three Harrys, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"Professor, it's like this. Tonight, Crabbe, Goyle, and I were about to return to the common room when we happened to see three sneaky figures.

It’s understandable to come and take a look out of curiosity!

Of course, we respect the school rules very much and plan to return to the dormitory before curfew. "

"Get to the point, Malfoy.

Also, don’t say it so high-sounding. It’s not very upright for you to follow others. "

"Professor, I admit that what I did was rude, but I don't regret it." Draco said indifferently.

He is not an ordinary person tonight. Although he is not the protagonist, he can be said to be the key role in pushing the story to the climax.

Although I was accidentally caught at the end, it was harmless.

He and Aaron may not be able to escape their punishment, but Harry and his team's punishment will definitely be heavier.

By comparison, he felt a lot better.

"We followed them quietly to Hagrid's hut, and saw... Harry and the others were planning to give Aaron's pet to Hagrid."

"What?" Professor McGonagall frowned, "Is what Mr. Malfoy said true?"

The three Gryffindors lowered their heads and remained silent, and the silence at this time was the default.

"That's it, Professor McGonagall.

Aaron is my best friend, and I couldn't stand him being deceived, so I asked Crabbe and Goyle to go back and inform him.

As for what happened next, I won’t say much. "

"You have disappointed me so much. Points will be deducted. Fifty points will be deducted." Professor McGonagall said angrily, "You are going too far."

"fifty points?"

All three of them opened their mouths wide, this number gave them such a huge impact.

That’s fifty points! Evenly divided, one person would be deducted 16 or 17 points.

Hermione was doing better. She might be able to make up for it with a few hard classes, excluding Snape's Potions class of course.

But Harry and Ron were a little broken. It was good that they were not deducted points. It was not easy to fill this big hole.

"Fifty points for each person." Professor McGonagall said calmly.

"Everyone..." Ron was stunned. He and Harry looked at each other, as if they could see the huge debt they were carrying.

Draco looked at the three of them with a victorious smile, not to mention how happy he was.

"why are you laughing?

When I say everyone, I also include you and Aaron. "

The smile on Draco's face instantly faded, "I'm sorry, Professor, I may have heard wrong.

You mean we have to deduct fifty points too? "

"Yes, you also violated school rules. This is to ensure that you will not do it again in the future."

"But this..."

"No need to explain, Draco." Aaron patted Abe, who was holding him, "I'll pay back your fifty points for you, it's only one hundred points. We can still get it done by the end of the semester."

"This is not a matter of scores, it's unfair." Draco said unhappily, "I don't have a problem with Professor McGonagall wanting to punish us, but why should the punishment be the same as theirs? I don't accept it.

The three of them suffered no losses except for the same punishment as us, but Abe was almost injured, and that was..."

"That's enough, that's the end of it." Aaron interrupted him loudly.

Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment, as if she understood something, and turned to look at Aaron, "It's... okay!"

"It's okay, I was just a little scared."

"Scared? Are you sure you're just scared?"

"Yes, I'm sure." Aaron's attitude was firm.

Professor McGonagall turned to look at Draco, "If you don't explain it to him, maybe a few points will be deducted."

"It still doesn't work." Draco shook his head, "Think of it as bad luck for us this time!"

“Hoo ho!

Filch, please keep an eye on them while I go find Hagrid to find out the situation. Professor McGonagall said meaningfully, "If you don't tell me, there will always be someone who is willing to tell me."

Hagrid is an honest man and won’t lie.”

Seeing Professor McGonagall walking towards the hut, Harry and the other three immediately panicked.

There is also a fire dragon in the hut. If it were discovered, Hagrid would probably be heartbroken.

"Wait a minute, Professor McGonagall, how about I explain!" Harry stopped her hastily.

In fact, he didn't know what to say, but it was important to stop Professor McGonagall first. As for the rest, just adapt to circumstances!

"Then you say it and I listen."

"I...this...thing is like this..." Harry hesitated, unable to say a complete sentence.

Professor McGonagall could naturally see his perfunctory attitude and sighed helplessly, "I'd better go find Hagrid!"

This time no one blocked the way, because they all knew in their hearts that Professor McGonagall would not give up until the matter was clarified.

"Aaron, is this okay?" Draco was a little worried. He didn't care whether Norbert would be discovered, but it couldn't be discovered today.

What if they are implicated and Abe's identity is exposed?

Hagrid and the others signed a confidentiality agreement, but in his opinion, that piece of paper was not binding at all, let alone at this juncture.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Aaron said calmly, "Everyone knows that one more thing is worse than one less thing. Hagrid is just naive, not stupid, and he will not be an exception."

"hope so!"

Soon, Professor McGonagall's roar came from the hut, "How can you keep a dragon in the school?

How dare you, Hagrid? "

"He keeps a dragon?" Filch asked in surprise. "I know he likes all kinds of magical animals, but are dragons too exaggerated?"

"We just found out," Aaron said. "No one thought Hagrid would be so bold."

Professor McGonagall walked out of the hut, let out a long breath, and then walked up to a few people.

"What punishment will Hagrid receive?" Harry asked anxiously.

"You will definitely be expelled." Draco said happily.

"Expulsion is not an issue. Fortunately, the dragon has just broken out of its shell and is not a threat to the safety of the school. If it were older, it would be difficult for anyone to plead for mercy.

But he definitely can't be raised anymore. I will discuss it with Dumbledore to see where it is appropriate to send him. Professor McGonagall said a little tiredly, "Aaron, Abel... does it really not matter?"

I want you to tell the truth without any worries. "

"It's really okay.

I watched Abe grow up, and he is one of the few family members I have. I will not let him suffer any injustice.

It's just that the clothes my mother specially prepared for it before school started were scorched by the dragon flames, which was a pity. "

Abe also showed an aggrieved expression at the right time, stretched his two claws to the top of his head, and pulled out a hat from under the hat that had traces of being burned by the dragon's breath.

There was a layer of mist on his big eyes, which instantly filled Professor McGonagall's sympathy.

"I'm so sorry, Aaron.

As the head of Gryffindor, I failed to keep a close eye on them.

Abe was almost injured and I had to bear some of the blame. "Professor McGonagall said earnestly, "I am here to apologize to you. It was my negligence. I didn't expect that things were much more dangerous than I thought.

Confinement is definitely unavoidable. It is a punishment for violating school rules, but you and Draco can have your points deducted less if appropriate. Draco deducts ten points, and you will deduct five points! "
