Frequent Incidents

Nothing is more enjoyable than watching your opponent suffer.

During the leisurely time before summer vacation, the Gryffindor students were in high spirits, as they were finally about to win the long-awaited House Cup.

Of course, they never forget to take the opportunity to mock their neighbors next door, using the Slytherin students' frustrated and unlucky state to amuse themselves.

Naturally, this only intensified the tension between the two sides! Having completely lost hope of winning the House Cup, a small number of Slytherin students began to unleash their malice and deliberately cause trouble for the Gryffindor students.

In just one day, three Gryffindor students were sent to the School Hospital due to the Dark Curse. Now everyone has to stick together to avoid being targeted by the Slytherin students.

Because Slytherin deliberately stirred up trouble, fights and disturbances between the two houses became more and more frequent, Gryffindor's points began to decrease. They suddenly realized that if they were not careful, Ravenclaw might take advantage of the situation.

Slytherin's attempt to deprive them of the House Cup is unforgivable! Upon discovering the Slytherin students' sinister intentions, the Gryffindor students' faces darkened. At the urging of the Student Council President, they began devising a plan to retaliate against the Slytherin students, showing them that Gryffindor is not to be trifled with!

"What should we do with these guys?"

An upperclassman who had removed his Invisibility Cloak stared at the Slytherin students he had secretly taken down, and asked the person in charge behind him with a smile.

"Leave him in his underwear, strip the rest off, hang him upside down with a spell, and shove his head into the toilet." The Student Council President's tone was as cold as ice.

I thought I was going to get the House Cup, but what happened?

Now that Gryffindor's grades are almost catching up with Ravenclaw's, how can the Student Council President not be angry?

We won by our own merit, and you bunch of guys actually tried to drag us down with you using underhanded tactics? So, he's now brought a group of people to cause trouble for the Slytherin students.

Weren't you trying to cause us trouble?

Let's go then!

By the way, this was a trick that Albert had used against the Slytherin students last time, and the Student Council President had learned it and put it to use again.

Certainly!

Since you started this trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless.

The "Toilet Incident" quickly shocked the entire Hogwarts. People discovered that several Slytherin students had been stripped down to their underwear, hung upside down in mid-air, and had their heads stuffed into toilets.

However, the story doesn't end there.

The next morning, at the entrance to the front hall, four Slytherin students, stripped down to only Full Body-Bind Curse underwear and posed for enthusiastic hugs, were seen with their faces almost squeezed together – it was a truly unbelievable sight.

As for Filch, who was on night patrol, he was knocked out by Stunning Spell and put back on his original bed, not even knowing who did it.

The "Toilet Incident" and the "Statue Incident" greatly angered Snape. After questioning the unfortunate victims, he was unable to obtain any useful information, as they had all been taken down without warning.

Ultimately, Snape turned his attention to the Gryffindor students.

Why did Gryffindor and Slytherin have a long-standing feud?

Without any clues, it's natural to suspect you.

Moreover, these Slytherin students initially intended to cause trouble for the Gryffindor students.

What are you doing following me? Are you planning to attack me?

What? You were attacked? How would I know? You're saying I attacked you? What's that to me?

Anyway, everyone gave the same answer: How would I know?

As advised by an unknown person, all the students who were approached by Snape avoided looking Snape in the eye, lest the Potions Professor see through their thoughts.

But some people don't care whether they are seen through or not.

So what if you see through it? You don't have any real evidence anyway.

What? You want to get points deducted and cause trouble? You'd better provide evidence that I did it. I have witnesses, physical evidence, and an alibi. Don't frame me, or I'll sue you for defamation.

The seventh-grade students are now all single.

Anyway, I'm graduating soon, so I'm not afraid of Snape causing me trouble.

Everyone stayed at school to prepare for their last End-of-Year Feast, and we were so excited to see our college win the House Cup before we left. And you guys actually want to cause trouble? It's unacceptable!

Recently, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan have been particularly excited, asking around for all sorts of gossip, seeing who in Slytherin has had bad luck, who has ended up in the School Hospital, and where the big news has broken out.

Compared to the Hufflepuff students who have been watching from the sidelines, the Ravenclaw students are in a dilemma. They are only ten points behind Gryffindor, and if Gryffindor and Slytherin continue to cause trouble, they may win the House Cup for free.

If they could really win the House Cup for free, they'd probably be laughing in their sleep tonight! Right now, Ravenclaw students are hoping that Gryffindor and Slytherin will make some big splash, preferably causing both sides to lose a ton of points.

However, the Ravenclaw students' expectations seem to have been temporarily dashed.

"Have you been going to Professor Babbling's place a lot these past few days?" Lee Jordan, having just brought back some bad news, reminded Albert, "Don't be alone, a bunch of people want to cause you trouble."

"Yes, I know that. I've been using the Disillusionment Charm on myself lately, so those guys can't find me." After the fierce battle between Gryffindor and Slytherin, Albert naturally knew how to protect himself. When he sensed that someone was trying to ambush him, he used the Disillusionment Charm on himself, and the other party couldn't find him at all.

"That's a good idea." Fred suddenly realized that Albert was as cunning and treacherous as ever, easily outmaneuvering the guy who was causing him trouble.

"Do you think... we might lose the House Cup because of this?" George was quite concerned about this. It would be a real shame to lose the House Cup, which they had worked so hard to win.

"I don't know. If Slytherin is crazy enough, we're probably out of the running for the House Cup." Albert noticed an owl Accio towards them with a package in its talons. Lee Jordan caught it as it dropped it.

"The package Hagrid sent you?" Lee Jordan glanced at the sender and placed it in front of Albert.

"Should we open it?" George asked tentatively, staring at the package.

"Open it." Albert already knew what was inside.

Sure enough, the package contained a sealed bottle of alcohol and a clean piece of beeswax.

"What do you need all this for?" Fred asked suspiciously, picking up the beeswax and examining it closely before making a gesture as if to put it in his mouth. "You're not going to eat it, are you?"

"Make Garlic Cross." Albert glanced at Fred with annoyance, then uncorked the alcohol bottle, smelled a strong odor of alcohol, and nodded in satisfaction.

"I almost forgot about that," Lee Jordan said, slapping his forehead in realization.

"Not almost, you've completely forgotten," Fred muttered. He himself had actually forgotten about it, and George beside him had also completely put it out of his mind.

"Nonsense, I was watering the garlic all the time recently, and I even did the harvesting and drying myself," Lee Jordan grumbled. "Only you two have completely forgotten about this."
