Chapter 67 Counterattack
No doubt Professor McGonagall would sort everything out today, but the school obviously wouldn't interfere if the students could handle it privately.

Percy bravely took responsibility, suppressed the matter, and became Gryffindor's detention champion. Professor McGonagall no longer had to worry about having to deal with such a bad thing during this rare holiday. Slytherin got an excuse to retaliate and saved face, and Andrew did not need to work overtime - everyone won.

Such a good result made Andrew's joy even greater. After happily processing the last document, he left Professor McGonagall's office, closed the door, and walked towards the library.

'This afternoon is a pleasant story time...'

Under Madam Pince's somewhat surprised gaze, he borrowed three fairy tale collections, put them in his bag, and then walked towards the cafeteria.

However, as soon as he arrived at the cafeteria door, Andrew found that the atmosphere inside was a little strange - it was only then that Andrew, who had been busy all morning, remembered what poor Percy had said to him.

Compared to the empty tables in other houses, the tables in Slytherin House were packed, and everyone had an expression on their face as if they were eating strange-tasting beans that tasted like earwax.

The Gryffindor table, which was usually extremely active, was now extremely quiet. Andrew took a quick glance and did not even see the figure of the famous Harry Potter.

"Shh, Andrew, keep your voice down, the Slytherins are crazy."

The first-year Ravenclaw who was also staying at school whispered, "It is said that they are frantically looking for Harry Potter, but he is hidden by other Gryffindor students. In addition, it is said that the remaining prefect of Gryffindor is in the hospital."

It makes sense - if I were in Slytherin, I would also send Harry Potter to the school hospital ward, which would be a great thing to enhance the cohesion of the house.

But is Gryffindor's fighting consciousness so strong this year? They can even predict what Slytherin students will do - so scary, so scary.

Andrew, who had completely escaped the threat of overtime, was full of gossip at the moment. Unfortunately, none of the key professors showed up at lunch time, neither Professor McGonagall nor Professor Snape, which was really disappointing.

-

"This, can be used for a while... but the story immediately progresses to the period when Dumbledore was a professor. It's too fast and not appropriate..."

Andrew simply copied the outline of the story in his notebook, then marked the word "school" and put the notebook down. Although a better way to mark ideas is to write them down, looking at the white snow outside, he decided to remain cautious.

"A rocking chair, a fireplace, a snowy day, and a good book..."

Andrew leaned back, even having the urge to bring a blanket over, "It would be even better if there was a cup of brewed black tea."

But unfortunately, this is not Professor McGonagall's office. The house-elf named Jim serves Professor McGonagall. Andrew is just trying to take advantage of school resources over there, but there is no loophole for him to exploit here.

But this was enough. Perhaps because he was so relaxed, several Ravenclaws came out of the dormitory soon, each pulled a recliner over, leaned against the fireplace and started reading, without even communicating with each other.

Andrew spent a pleasant afternoon in this casual atmosphere with the occasional sound of the quill pen rubbing against parchment.

It was not until dinner time in the evening that these students who had been reading dispersed, without even introducing themselves to each other - but this rare peace ended in the evening.

In the absurdly quiet hall, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students whispered to each other, occasionally glancing at the empty Gryffindor table and the full Slytherin table with sullen-looking people.

"This is outrageous - all the Gryffindor students ran back to the common room. It is said that the Slytherin students searched for the whole afternoon but didn't encounter anyone." The whispered discussions at the dinner table not only did not make the hall noisy, but made it seem even quieter. Some Hufflepuff students secretly said that it was Harry Potter who was in charge and notified every Gryffindor student, but there was no definite evidence.

"Distribute the snacks. Think about the looks from those Slytherin students in the cafeteria today!"

The Gryffindors who stayed in school were beaming with joy, especially the Weasley brothers who had devised the fake train plan. They somehow managed to get in a bunch of food, making the faces of those who stayed in the lounge beam with joy of victory.

They even opened several bottles of butterbeer and pumpkin juice. "Here's to Percy!"

"To Percy!"

George and his brother whispered to each other, "Percy... really can think of such an idea to make himself famous."

"He is in the hospital after all. Poor Percy has a broken leg and arm, and is even spitting bubbles... I'm afraid he won't be fully recovered until the day after tomorrow."

"After all, he fought against the entire fifth year of Slytherin alone, even though the other side did not send out the sixth and seventh year students."

"Thanks to Harry, he thought of this after lunch," the two smiled at each other, picked up the butterbeer and surrounded Harry.

The next morning, the Hogwarts Express, which had been driving all day and had to work overtime again, returned to Hogwarts exhausted. The Slytherins, who were full of resentment but had never vented it, almost didn't want to go home.

At noon, the Gryffindors who had grown up all of a sudden did not even forget to whistle occasionally while eating, while the Slytherin students who stayed in school stared at this side with vicious eyes, but it was useless because there were more Gryffindors who stayed in school.

As for Andrew, he calmly went to the school hospital with a bouquet of flowers and a candy ordered by Rose Mail, ready to visit Percy - although he should have come yesterday, but considering the madness of the Slytherins, he decided to make the same choice as Gryffindor.

At this moment, Percy's bed was already piled with flowers and various snacks, but because he needed to rest, Madam Pomfrey did not allow anyone to stay.

"How does it feel?"

"It will take a while."

Percy looked at Andrew's sincere eyes and almost forgot that it was the man in front of him who had put him in the hospital. Although he received cheers from his classmates, it was really painful...

"You need to get better soon, so that you won't get what those Slytherin students want."

"I'm afraid that's a little difficult. Madam Pomfrey asked me to stay a few more days."

Percy's tone even became weaker.

"Although I also want to get better quickly, but, cough cough——"

In the face of Andrew's surprise, Percy said in a weak voice, "It seems that I have to leave the office work to you."
