Chapter 54 Humble Kyle

After the Halloween dinner, the little wizards who had eaten and drunk enough went back to the dormitory together.

After the students left, the professors also left one after another.

In the principal's office, Dumbledore looked at Snape with a gloomy face and asked: "Severus, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"It was two weeks ago, Dumbledore." Snape slapped a gold-edged map on the table in the principal's office and said expressionlessly: "The matter of Kyle Chopper selling maps in school... should have a result now."

"So it's this matter." Dumbledore calmly took a sip of black tea and said: "Can I hear your thoughts?"

"People who ignore school rules like this must be expelled!" Snape blurted out.

"This is not a good joke, Severus." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "You should know that there is no rule in Hogwarts that prohibits students from selling items on campus."

"And as far as I know, this map should be sold to Slater by Miss Prince..."

"That's instigation!" Snape interrupted Dumbledore angrily, "I've asked around, all the maps were given to her by Kyle!"

The voice was so loud that even the portraits pretending to sleep around couldn't stand it.

A big-nosed wizard said angrily, "Boy, watch your attitude, this is the principal's office."

Snape ignored him at all and continued, "I should have insisted on letting Connor transfer to Slytherin instead of listening to you and letting her stay in Hufflepuff.

"I think this is a good thing." Dumbledore smiled and said, "Don't you think Connor's personality was a little too introverted before? As the only descendant of the Prince family in the British magic world, this is not a good thing.

And you can't always protect her. ”

Snape was silent for a moment, and said impatiently: "We are talking about Kyle Chopper now. He dared to sell a map for five Galleons today, and he dared to rob Gringotts tomorrow. So, even if he is not expelled, he cannot just let it go. He must be punished. "

"Well, you have a point. Five Galleons is indeed a bit expensive for freshmen. "Dumbledore pondered and said: "Well, I will ask the students in person. If they all feel that they have been cheated, then I will naturally deal with it. "

...

Snape fell silent again.

In fact, he had asked once when he confiscated the map. At that time, that Rawl said...

"Cheated? Professor, are you kidding me? It's only five Galleons, it's not a big deal~~"

Even if Dumbledore asked, the result would probably be the same.

Although if Snape wanted to, he could easily change the Slytherin students' views on this matter and criticize Kyle.

But this kind of thing is too despicable. He is just biased, not really shameless.

And this kind of thing is also difficult to hide. Once exposed, it will cause a lot of trouble.

"Kyle's character is also problematic. Snape suddenly said, "I have observed that he is very talented, but his performance in class is very average.

He is so hypocritical at such a young age. Aren't you afraid that he will become the next Dark Lord?"

"I prefer to call this behavior modesty, Severus." Dumbledore said calmly: "It is not easy for a person to shine, but it is even more difficult to put away the light. This is a very rare quality."

"So..." Snape looked at Dumbledore coldly and said, "You are not going to punish him?"

"If he has not made any mistakes."

"Very good!"

Snape's face became gloomier, and he waved his robe and turned to leave the principal's office.

I don't know if it was intentional, but when Snape turned around, the hem of his robe hit the portrait of the big-nosed wizard.

The other party was furious and shouted at Snape's back angrily: "Come back and apologize, you rude Slytherin boy!"

Snape still ignored him, but Phineas Black next to him couldn't help it, rushed over and grabbed his collar and said: "What did you say about Slytherin just now!"

"Why, do you want to fight?"

The angry big-nosed wizard punched Phineas in the face without saying a word.

How could the "great" Principal Black swallow this breath, and the two soon wrestled together.

Seeing this, other portraits came over with candies, melon seeds and butter beer, and formed a circle to persuade them:

"Stop fighting, stop fighting."

"You are so old, can't you be more steady... Why did you hit his legs? You grabbed his hair. Can't you see that his hair is so long?"

"The knight who is watching the fun over there, put away your sword quickly, don't let them see it!"

"No, Felix went to get the sword."

"Who will call the hunter in the corridor? I remember he has an axe."

Their voices soon attracted more portraits, and every frame was packed. The principal's office has never been so lively.

Dumbledore sat behind the table, happily adding sugar to his tea.

Fighting between portraits is not a rare thing, and besides eavesdropping on gossip, this is their only entertainment activity.

Dumbledore was too lazy to care, as long as the frame and canvas were fine.

But at this moment, Professor McGonagall's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Mr. Minister, are you still looking for Albus so late?"

The ears of the portraits moved, and they didn't care to watch the excitement, and left the headmaster's office as quickly as possible.

Before leaving, the fat lady of Gryffindor and two knights forcibly took away the bruised and swollen big-nosed wizard and Felix.

They must not be seen by the Minister of Magic in their current state, otherwise Hogwarts will be embarrassed.

"It happened suddenly, Minerva, there is nothing I can do."

Accompanied by a low voice, the door of the headmaster's office was pushed open from the outside again.

"Albus, long time no see, are you okay?"

Cornelly Fudge opened his arms and walked towards Dumbledore with an eager face.

"Long time no see, Cornelius." Dumbledore hugged him and smiled, "Would you like a cup of black tea? Or pumpkin juice."

"Black tea is fine."

Dumbledore snapped his fingers, and a cup of steaming black tea immediately appeared on the table next to him.

"Do you need sugar?"

Fudge shook his head. He looked a little nervous. He kept stroking his bowler hat with both hands and looked at Professor McGonagall from time to time.

"Albus, I'll go back first."

Professor McGonagall understood what Fudge meant and turned to leave the headmaster's office.

"Albus, I can't hide it anymore. Those magical animals that were smuggled in..."

As the Griffin slowly closed the door, Fudge's voice disappeared completely.

Although only half of the sentence was heard, Professor McGonagall could probably guess why Fudge came so late.

The newly appointed Minister of Magic always likes to conceal news that is not good for him. When he can't cover it up anymore, he comes to Dumbledore for advice.

I think it's the same this time.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips. Cornelius Fudge's irresponsible look is far worse than Millicent Bagnold.
