My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 29. Snape! You have no heart!

Lynn was not lying.

Less than two hours later, someone called them to the vice principal's office.

Not only Mark and Michelle, but Lynn was also called over.

In Professor McGonagall's office, besides herself, Professor Snape, the head of Slytherin, was also present.

Both of them had calm expressions, revealing neither their true feelings nor their true intentions.

As soon as Lynn and his group entered, Professor McGonagall asked them questions directly.

"Do you know what McKlain went out to do so early this morning?"

Mark and Michelle certainly wouldn't dare lie to the professor, especially since their relationship with Hubert wasn't that good.

"He...he went to the owlhouse to borrow the school's owl to buy things," Mark said nervously, swallowing hard.

"What does he want to buy?" Professor Snape's eyes were like sharp knives, trying to peel open their skulls and see into their thoughts.

Mark was so frightened that he trembled all over, his lips pressed tightly together, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Michelle glanced at Lynn out of the corner of her eye.

Lynn stood by and watched coldly from beginning to end, without saying a word.

"He wants to buy things from the Boking Burke store in Knockdown Lane," Michelle finally mustered the courage to tell the truth.

Immediately, the expressions on the two professors' faces changed!

They knew perfectly well that Knockdown Alley was a place, and what Borgin Burke's shop usually sold.

"Explain yourself! What does he want to buy?" Professor McGonagall's voice even became somewhat shrill, as if she was extremely angry.

Under these circumstances, Michel completely betrayed Hubert, spilling all the plans they had previously conspired on.

"He wants to buy Essence of Insanity!"

Michelle exclaimed, "He thinks it's an insult to all Slytherin wizards that someone like Lynn is even in Slytherin! He wants us to cooperate by pretending to make peace with Lynn, and then, under the guise of treating him to dessert, to smear Madness on his food!"

After Michelle uttered the words "madness," Snape's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"How dare he do this!" Snape's voice was so cold it could freeze a person to death.

He was a potion master himself, so of course he knew what kind of potion Madness was.

This potion is listed as a forbidden drug by the Ministry of Magic because it looks very similar to Felix Felicis and appears harmless. However, drinking it can drive people insane, turning them into madmen.

Although this effect is not permanent, it is a potion that is despised by countless wizards and explicitly banned by the Ministry of Magic!

Now that his students were actually trying to use this potion to ambush their classmates, Snape felt like his lungs were about to explode with rage.

Professor McGonagall now looked like an angry lioness, coldly glaring at Mark and Michelle, who were bowing their heads and refusing to look at her, and delivered her verdict on them.

"Slytherin, lose fifty points! You two! Starting today, go to Filch every night for a month... no! Two months!"

Snape's lips twitched involuntarily, but in the end he said nothing and acquiesced to Professor McGonagall's punishment.

The story doesn't end here.

Professor McGonagall and the others hadn't forgotten why they had called Lynn and the others here.

Snape turned his gaze to Lynn, who had been comfortably playing the role of "victim" without saying a word.

"Belok, were you aware of their plans beforehand?"

In the office, Mark and Michelle's attention was focused on Lynn.

Lynn blinked innocently and said, "How could I possibly know, Professor? They suddenly came to make up with me yesterday, and I was happy for quite a while."

While speaking, Lynn secretly gave himself the title: the new recruit.

[New students: 1. When wearing titles, students who consider themselves to be of higher status or position will subconsciously make things difficult for you.]

2. The teachers will show you even more care and concern.

3. Your learning efficiency will increase threefold when learning basic magic knowledge.

Note 1: This title's effect only applies when it is worn.

Note 2: This title will disappear when you enter your second year.

At the same time, Lynn's acting skills are far superior to Mark's and the others.

His eyes were a little red, and tears seemed to be welling up in his eyes, but he stubbornly refused to let them fall.

"I've always wanted to be friends with them. I know they look down on me because of my background, but I believe that can be changed. If we treat each other sincerely, we can still be friends, right? Yesterday, I thought they would finally accept me. But I never expected them...they..."

Lynn pursed her lips, as if she was trying hard not to cry. Her aggrieved look would probably make even Dou E feel ashamed.

Mark and Michelle's jaws nearly dropped. So, you weren't the one who pinned Hubert against the wall and beat him up that day?

Professor McGonagall was deeply moved.

She already knew that Lynn was an orphan and that it was not easy for her to live alone; she was the one who did the home visit for enrollment.

To put it another way, she brought Lynn to Hogwarts. But after arriving at Hogwarts, she faced discrimination and bullying from her roommates.

Professor McGonagall now feels that she is a very incompetent teacher.

The anger and seriousness on her face slowly melted away, and she spoke in a gentle yet apologetic voice.

"I'm sorry, Belloc, this is our dereliction of duty as professors..."

Mark and Michelle were stunned again; they had never seen Professor McGonagall like this before.

However, Snape interrupted her.

"Wait, McGonagall, I haven't finished asking my question yet."

Snape's gaze remained cold, as if he was completely unaffected by Lynn's acting skills and title.

"I understand that you actually left the lounge before Hubert left this morning, and then quickly arrived at the scene after Hubert's accident. Can you tell me where you were during that time, Belloc?"

Looking at Snape's face, which seemed to have no wife, Lynn couldn't help but think to himself:

Snape, you have no heart!

However, although Snape was unaffected, Lynn was not afraid of his questions, because Hubert's attack was indeed unrelated to him.

"I have a habit of going for a run every morning, and since coming to Hogwarts I have really loved magic. After my run, I practice spells by the Black Lake outside the castle. Cedric from Hufflepuff can vouch for this; he practiced spells with me this morning."

Based on the portrait in Professor McGonagall's office, Lynn's witness, Cedric, was quickly summoned there.

My readers all said they would definitely do it next time, but I was careless and didn't dodge.

As a result, the number of recommendation votes dropped sharply yesterday. I said to the young man, "You have no sportsmanship." The reader hurriedly apologized, saying that he did not know the rules. He said that he was just talking nonsense.

He wasn't just talking nonsense. He'll definitely try to get something for free next time. He's well-trained. Later, he said he'd trained for three or four years and then ran away after watching. It seems he came prepared.

is this okay?

That's not good!

I urge all you gentlemen to drink rat tail juice.

Reflect on this carefully.

Don't try to be clever like that again.

Reading should be done with harmony in mind and with martial virtue.

Don't just look without voting.

Thank you, friends!
