Chapter 102 It Doesn’t Matter, I Will Take Action!
After Rolf caught the bird snake, he looked at the devastated owl shed and prepared to flee the crime scene first.
But he and Luna, Ginny and Colin were caught by Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall before they could retreat.
Even the owl shed collapsed. Such a big noise would alarm anyone who was not deaf or blind.
Dumbledore took the bottle from Rolf, his eyes shot down from his long hooked nose, and stared at the bird snake intently.
Professor McGonagall's lips were pale, she grabbed her clothes with her hands, and gasped for air. It was unknown whether she was angry or was glad that the student was not in trouble.
She paused for a long time, and finally pursed her lips and said in a trembling voice:
"Mr. Scamander, I know you are very powerful, you know a lot of things, and you have learned a lot of ways to deal with magical creatures from Newt... But if you encounter this kind of thing again in the future, please inform the professor and let us deal with it."
"Don't always act alone, it's very dangerous!"
"I know, I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall." Rolf looked regretful, and he promised: "This is the last time I violate the school rules."
Professor McGonagall's face suddenly eased a lot, and she looked at Ginny and the others again.
"And you three, you are only in the first year and you follow Scamander to make trouble, right?!"
"Professor, we caught the mysterious animal that attacked the students!" Ginny opened her mouth to defend herself: "It's not a joke."
She felt a little wronged. Not only did she not give extra points, but she was also criticized?
Rolf tried not to laugh out loud. He was still too young. If it were Shirley and Hermione, even Neville, they would not open their mouths to defend themselves.
You can't be stubborn at this time, otherwise Professor McGonagall will let you know... what is the iron fist of justice!
Sure enough, Professor McGonagall immediately frowned and said sternly:
"This is not a reason for you to take risks. I am very angry. Three first-year students went to catch bird snakes! I have never heard of such a thing before!
It's even more outrageous than last Halloween, when several students went to deal with trolls!"
Speaking of this, Professor McGonagall suddenly remembered that Rolf seemed to be involved in the troll incident... Why is it always you!
"You, Miss Weasley, the role models you should learn from are your brothers Bill and Percy, not George, Fred and Ron!" Professor McGonagall said coldly:
"And you, Mr. Creevey, no matter what, you should send the photos of the bird snakes to me first, not Mr. Scamander. I am your dean, not him!
You and Miss Weasley will be detained!
"As for you, Miss Lovegood, I will tell Professor Flitwick about this and let him deal with you. "
Rolf stood aside, watching the situation, and never spoke. He even looked regretful, so as not to get into trouble.
Sure enough, Professor McGonagall finally ignored Rolf, who was "extremely sincere", and only punished Ginny and the other three... He almost laughed out loud.
After everyone left, only Rolf and Dumbledore remained in the Owl Shed.
Dumbledore raised his wand, waved it gently, and said: "Restore as before. "
The owl shed destroyed by Rolf and the bird snake was instantly restored to its original appearance. Except for the absence of the bird snake, the whole shed was exactly the same as when Rolf came... exactly the same!
Witnessing such magic with his own eyes, Rolf was also amazed. Not only was Dumbledore too comfortable, but also...
The vines that he had used magic to grow were all shrunk back.
He was very sure that a normal wizard's "recovery" would never achieve this effect... It could only be due to the Elder Wand.
After all, it has the magical power to restore broken wands!
Rolf quickly told the principal that he had discovered Lockhart smuggling the bird snake... Of course, he did not hide his behavior of sneaking into Lockhart's office.
"I know." Dumbledore nodded calmly and said, "I will tell Minister Fudge about this.
After this semester, no matter what... our Professor Lockhart will have to pay for what he did. "
Rolf nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll go back first, Professor. "
"Rolf, take this back too, you worked hard to catch it." Dumbledore turned around and threw the bottle with the bird snake to the boy. The old man blinked and said:
"By the way, don't let Professor McGonagall see it, she asked me to confiscate it..."
Rolf grinned and said: "I know! "
...
...
The sudden collapse of the owl shed was witnessed by many students... This incident spread throughout Hogwarts in the shortest time.
Everyone was discussing this bizarre incident, and many students immediately went to the owl shed to see what happened.
But the strange thing is that when everyone got there, they found that the owl shed was intact!
If it was just one student, it might be dazzled, but it is impossible for all students to be dazzled... This is simply a supernatural event in the owl shed!
However, the popularity of this incident did not last for two days, and it was covered by another explosive news:
The mysterious animal in the trophy display room attack was caught, and the mysterious animal was a bird snake!
Professor Dumbledore confirmed this incident at the dinner and praised Rolf and others, but at the same time warned the young wizards to notify the professor first when they encountered danger and not to act without authorization.
The students were very concerned about the problem of bird snakes, and they surrounded Rolf and others every day, trying to get information.
Fortunately for Rove, he was always surrounded by students wherever he went, so there was no pressure at all, but this was the first time for Luna, Ginny and Colin to experience this kind of thing.
All three of them tacitly chose to keep their mouths shut.
Ginny, in particular, is not like Ron, who just adds nonsense when encountering something and deliberately attracts everyone's attention.
But even though they were recognized as heroes by the students, the three of them had to clean up the bird droppings on the floor of the owl loft as this... punishment.
[To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. It can be used on both Android and Apple. 】
Fortunately, Rolf paid double the reward, which gave Ginny some comfort.
Professor Lockhart once again showed his superb acting skills. The bird and snake was obviously lost by him, but he claimed that it was lost by the attacker who opened the secret room.
Let’s throw the pot away first!
Professor Lockhart was still in class, telling the students without blushing or heartbeat:
"I don't think there will be any more trouble. The secret room will never be opened again this time. The bird and snake have been caught, and the criminal has no tools. He will definitely not dare to show up again!"
When Hannah raised her hand and asked Lockhart what if the attack happened again, he said calmly:
"It doesn't matter, I will take action!"
With the protection of the house elf Sasia, Lockhart was extremely confident.
He also thought that the students were scared out of their wits and it was time to boost their morale.
