The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

"I'm really sorry, I just got some dragon dung from the cellar. I said it in class, right? Dragon dung can be said to be the best fertilizer in the world!"

Professor Sprout put down the fertilizer bag and patted the dirt on his body.

After saying that, she didn't care that Cedric was still there, and made a gesture of invitation for Link and Cedric to sit down.

After the two sat down again, she continued to ask:

"Link, is your injury okay?"

"It's nothing, it's healed, Dean Sprout, thank you for your concern."

"What about the other two little guys?"

This time Sprout asked not Link, but Cedric beside him.

The latter heard the words and straightened up and replied:

"Mrs. Pomfrey is treating them. She has left a message for the students who stayed at the scene. They should come over when the treatment is over."

Sproul nodded. Although she trusted Link in her heart, she couldn't just listen to Link's family to understand the situation. It was necessary to chat with the two children.

Thinking like this, Sprout put a kind smile on the corner of his mouth again, and asked Link:

"Link, how exactly did you conflict, can you tell me?"

Professor Sprout's tone was very mild and his words were very euphemistic, as if he was afraid of irritating Link.

When Link heard this, he took a deep breath and pretended to be aggrieved and nervous to tell everything that happened in the spell class today.

As for the matter in the auditorium at dinner, he kept his head down and mumbled.

It looked suspicious, but it was actually Link's decision after much deliberation.

Although the memory is a little blurry, Link still remembers that there are lie detectors in the wizarding world.

This means that to be on the safe side, everything Link says needs to be true, or else it may be faked.

So he simply didn't mention the things that needed to be covered up with lies.

Yes, it is indeed a bit suspicious to do so, but it is also very suitable for the character of the original owner with weak personality and low IQ.

It is quite normal for such a person to be unwilling to recall such painful things. Link is confident that he is as kind as Sprout and will never ask him about the follow-up.

And the fact is just as Link expected, Professor Sprout raised a distressed expression on his face after listening to Link's remarks.

After repeatedly comforting Link for a while, she rubbed the corners of her somewhat red eyes and continued to ask:

"Link, have you been feeling unwell recently?"

"Unwell? Of course not?"

"No? How are you feeling recently?"

Sprout continued to ask, but Link was silent after hearing that.

After a while, he raised his head and said:

"Professor Sprout, to be honest, I've been in a bad mood lately. To be precise, my mood started to get a little bad when I arrived at Hogwarts. Of course, I'm not saying that Hogwarts isn't. Well, actually I like Hogwarts very much! But... the classmates here don't seem to like me very much."

"poor child!"

Professor Sprout finally couldn't bear it anymore. She took two steps forward and hugged Link in her arms, patted Link's back lightly, and said with relief:

"It's not that they don't like you, they just have some misunderstandings about you. Don't worry, time will tell."

"I see, Professor."

Link answered in a low voice, but Sprout still didn't want to let go of him, instead he held him tighter.

It wasn't until Link felt like he was about to suffocate that Professor Sprout let go of his hand and greeted Cedric:

"Cedric,

Go back with Link first, we have class tomorrow. "

"Got it, Professor."

Cedric also stood up when he heard the words, and after saying goodbye to Professor Sprout with Link, they both left the office and walked towards the Hufflepuff lounge.

Of course, since he wasn't sure if the Slytherin girl named Emily was still around the corner, Cedric chose a different route this time.

The line was a little long, and Cedric continued to speak comforting words to Link along the way.

Link was tired of hearing such words today, he could only nod his head reflexively. As for his thoughts, he had already flown to other places.

In the question just now, Link noticed something unreasonable.

Compared with the reasons for today's events, Professor Sprout seems to be more concerned about his recent physical and mental condition.

Of course, this can also be explained by the professor caring about his students, but Link always felt that there was something hidden in it.

It's just that Link has too little information at this stage to analyze why, so he can only put it aside for the time being.

And in any case, at least his performance today was quite perfect.

Thinking so, a bright smile appeared on Link's face.

At the same time, the familiar entrance of the Hufflepuff common room also appeared in front of Link and Cedric.

...

In Professor Sprout's office, after confirming that Link had been safely sent away by Cedric, Professor Sprout opened the trapdoor behind her desk again and got in.

Under the trapdoor is a cellar roughly the size of the office above it.

The ceiling of the cellar is inlaid with many crystal clear crystals, which are emitting a soft dull yellow light.

However, the cellar was not filled with dragon dung as Sprout had said before, but Dumbledore, the dean and principal of the four Hogwarts academies, was sitting there.

In the dim light, they were sitting around a low table, silent, as if waiting for something.

"Ccrunch! Crunch!"

The sound of the wooden stairs being trampled came in from the exit of the cellar, and everyone in the cellar turned their eyes away.

In a short while, Professor Sprout's slightly huge body appeared in front of everyone.

"Phew!" Looking at the crowd looking at him, Professor Sprout first took a long breath, and then said in a serious tone, "Link is fine!"

"Why are you so sure?" In the corner, a middle-aged wizard with greasy black hair and a large black robe said in a voice so indifferent that there was almost no emotional fluctuation, "Although I have just taken the The incantation didn't detect that he was lying, but what he did today was clearly anomalous, so I think..."

"I said it! Link is fine!"

Sprout rudely interrupted the wizard.

The wizard didn't argue with Sprout either. He silently cast his questioning eyes on Dumbledore in the shadows.

However, the latter ignored him at all.

Dumbledore's eyes were always on Sprout's.

After a while, as if feeling the firmness in Sprout's eyes, Dumbledore sighed and nodded to Sprout.
