Chinese students at Hogwarts

Chapter 28 Rewards and Punishments



Just when the four of them were hugging each other, Neville had landed safely and surrounded the little wizard.

He cried and said:

"Zhang, you are so stupid. You don't deserve it. You don't deserve it at all."

The little wizards didn't have such complicated emotions. They patted several people's shoulders enthusiastically and cheered. In fact, they didn't know what they were cheering for. They just wanted to shout anyway.

"Gentlemen, do you think you have accomplished a feat?"

A slightly breathless voice overshadowed the little wizards. Everyone couldn't help but shrink their necks, like a frightened little quail, closed their mouths and stood quietly.

Professor McGonagall walked past the little wizard with a straight face. Her blue pupils were staring at the four people through the lenses. Her chest was rising and falling violently. Her bun had come loose, and her flaxen hair was scattered on her shoulders.

No one had ever seen Professor McGonagall like this before. She looked furious.

"50 more points from the Grand Point! Mr. Potter and Mr. Weasley, 50 points each! 50 points from Slytherin! You are so brave!

The school broom is not the one you are used to riding at home. If another accident occurs with the broom, we will have to save 3 more people! "

"Oh no! Professor!" Harry and Ron had already lost their passion for saving their friends at this time, and their fear of school rules took over again.

Professor McGonagall ignored the two of them and said to Mrs. Hooch:

"Rolanda, I will report to the principal about the brooms. I also hope you can check all the brooms in the school! To prevent such an accident from happening again."

Mrs. Huo Qi nodded: "This is what it should be."

"As for you! Mr. Longbottom!" Professor McGonagall looked at him, and the corners of her mouth seemed to be slightly curved upwards, but when everyone looked carefully, they still had that stern face.

"Although you were not the main cause of this accident, I still deduct 20 points from you because you bravely jumped off the broom and tried to save your classmates.

I have to say that this behavior is extremely stupid. I hope these 20 points can help you learn to trust the professors to protect your safety.

Similarly, this punishment is also given to Zhang, I hope he can remember my words. "

Neville also lowered his head in frustration. He choked and wanted to say something, but Zhang Xiao pulled him back.

"Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Neville Longbottom, and Draco Malfoy! I will discuss the subsequent punishment with Principal Dumbledore. I also hope that you gentlemen can understand and do anything. Everyone must be prepared to bear the consequences!

in addition"

Several people raised their heads and looked at Professor McGonagall at the same time.

A smile suddenly appeared on her clear face:

"100 points for each of you! Your courage deserves everyone's hats off. Gentlemen, I have to say that you have indeed accomplished a feat!"

Several young wizards were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other and finally reacted. They shouted and jumped up. There was warm applause from all around, and the young wizards clapped hard.

"Also! 20 points are awarded to Miss Hermione Granger. She was the first to discover that Mr. Longbottom fell from the sky, and flexibly used the knowledge she learned to try to save the lives of her classmates."

Hermione's little face immediately turned red. She lowered her head shyly and said sheepishly, "It's just a little cleverness."

Zhang Xiao watched happily as several people kept cheering, especially Neville, who had always been the main force in deducting points from Gryffindor (mainly Snape), and had never given Gryffindor any points.

"Mr Zhang"

Um? Is it your turn? Zhang Xiao raised his head and looked at Professor McGonagall.

The stern and upright professor gave him a rare thumbs up:

"Your choices in the entire incident were impeccable, from reporting the problem to Mrs. Hooch as soon as possible to trying to hold Mr. Longbottom. I think, if it weren't for the conflict between spells that caused the broom to explode with power beyond its limits, The whole incident will be solved perfectly.

What is even more admirable is that when Mr. Longbottom tried to give you the chance of survival, you did not give up on him, but chose to face the threat of death. Although it was also stupid, it must be said that you were very brave. "

Professor McGonagall clapped gently:

"150 points! This is the highest single bonus point in the history of Hogwarts. For your noble moral character and fearless courage, I am sorry that you are not a Gryffindor student."

Harry Ronneville immediately nodded in agreement. Sure enough, Zhang looked more like a Gryffindor.

"Minerva, my student is more than just courage." Snape lifted the greasy black hair that fell to his ears, his face was still gloomy, and he said in a long tone:

"Lack of intellectual courage will only make things worse. I noticed that Mr. Longbottom suddenly slowed down during his descent. This means that my student still has a cool head even in the most critical moments.

He didn't just jump when he was hot-blooded, but he was sure to save Mr. Longbottom who was hot-blooded.

Therefore, Zhang is an excellent Slytherin from beginning to end. So I don’t think the deduction of points is appropriate.”

Zhang Xiao blushed. To be honest, he just acted recklessly, just like he had bravely blocked the gun in his life.

It has to be said that Snape is indeed a master at cooling down a situation. As soon as he spoke, the originally heated atmosphere suddenly felt like a basin of cold water was poured on it.

All the little wizards shrank their necks and said nothing.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and snorted softly. She obviously didn't agree with Snape's statement, but she didn't refute. She snapped her fingers, and her hair flew up automatically, and was neatly pulled into a bun. He has returned to his usual meticulous appearance.

"Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, you two follow me."

Snape waved his cloak, glanced at Malfoy and Zhang Xiao, seemed a little surprised by Malfoy's actions, and then walked away without saying a word.

Mrs. Hooch then announced that flying lessons were suspended until she had completed all broom checks.

So the little wizards ran towards the castle with excitement like runaway puppies. They couldn't wait to share the series of things that happened today with other students.

"You said Professor McGonagall asked you to be Gryffindor's new Seeker? Ron was the substitute Keeper? Training with the team?"

Zhang Xiao asked in surprise while chewing the beef pie. This was unexpected.

Harry eventually became a Seeker, and Ron also entered the school team early.

In the evening, because everyone was too enthusiastic to know the opinions of the person involved, Zhang Xiao, Harry, Ron, and Neville and Hermione had to bring some food from the restaurant and find an empty classroom.

Otherwise, I won’t even be able to eat.

Malfoy did not come. He was enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by stars, and was vividly telling his classmates what happened in the afternoon.

It's just that in his story, Potter's actions were inspired by him, and his surrounding the surroundings was a clever move full of foresight, in order to prevent Potter's broom from being suddenly damaged, so that he could replace it at any time.

Harry and Ron nodded excitedly together. Ron waved the syrup pie and muttered:

"Professor McGonagall said that Harry flew very well! Especially after knowing that it was his first time touching a broom, she believed that with Harry's help, Gryffindor would definitely win the Quidditch Cup!"

Then his face turned slightly red and he said excitedly:

"Professor McGonagall is right, man, your talent is amazing. As for me, Professor McGonagall said that my last move to hug Zhang Xiao was very neat, and I am a goalkeeper, so I was allowed to train with the team, etc. Wood can fill his seat at any time when he is busy with his studies."

"Harry, don't you know? Your talent is innate because your father is one of the best Seekers in the school."

Hermione also interjected at this time and said that after this incident, the relationship between the little witch and everyone has improved significantly, and the feeling of loneliness is not pleasant. This makes her very happy, and even her face turns red.

Harry looked at her blankly, and the food in his mouth simply fell to the ground:

"my dad?"

That day, Harry lay on the glass cabinet in the college's honor room, unwilling to leave for a long time.
