Something Is Wrong

"You used Love Potion on Lockhart, didn't you, Miss Greengrass?" Snape glared menacingly at his own school's student.

Without a doubt, Lockhart's current state is entirely due to being drugged with Love Potion.

If it weren't for the large number of students watching, Snape would have already cast a curse on Lockhart.

"I really...I really didn't send Professor Lockhart any Love Potion." Queenie Greengrass was flustered by Snape's menacing glare, and her voice trembled with a hint of tears.

"Alright, Severus, let's help Lockhart recover from the effects of the Love Potion first," Professor McGonagall reminded him.

Albert noticed that Professor McGonagall's lips were slightly upturned; clearly, Lockhart's ordeal had put the Transfiguration Professor in a good mood.

The professors at the school clearly didn't like Lockhart. Albert was very Lockhart had caused when he was at Hogwarts that made the professors collectively dislike him.

Snape quickly dispersed the crowd, and Lockhart, who was restrained by the Full Body-Bind Curse, was transferred to the School Hospital by Professor McGonagall.

Madam Pomfrey quickly concocted an antidote for the Love Potion, helping the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor escape its Love Potion.

Lockhart recovered after drinking the antidote, and the expression on his handsome face was particularly interesting. He simply couldn't believe that he had done something so shameful as to confess his feelings to a student in front of everyone.

"He's all better now. If you want to talk about other things, then don't stay here," Madam Pomfrey, preparing to shoo them away.

"My office is nearby," Professor McGonagall suggested.

In the corridor outside the School Hospital, a group of students were whispering among themselves, trying to find out more interesting news. Then they saw Snape walking out of the School Hospital with a murderous look on his face, and they were all frightened and ran away in all directions.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Snape asked coldly after Professor McGonagall closed the door.

"Miss Greengrass, if you like me, you can just tell me directly. There's no need to use this method." Lockhart gave Queenie Greengrass what he thought was a handsome smile. "However, our age difference is too great, so we're not suitable for dating."

"I really didn't..." Queenie Greengrass was almost in tears.

"So Professor Lockhart was drugged with Love Potion, how do you plan to explain this?" Snape's tone was unfriendly, and he glared at Lockhart, signaling him to shut up.

If it were Lockhart, still under the influence of the Love Potion, he probably would have punched Snape again.

Professor McGonagall didn't say anything more. Queenie Greengrass was a Slytherin student, and it was up to Snape to decide how to deal with her.

Finally, under Snape's unfriendly gaze, Queenie Greengrass confessed that she had sent Albert Anderson Chocolate Frog laced with Love Potion.

"He had just won the International Wizard's Chess Champion at that time, so I..." Queenie Greengrass almost burst into tears as she spoke, but Snape remained unmoved. As a Legilimens, Snape could naturally see that Queenie Greengrass was not telling the whole truth.

However, the matter was indeed full of twists and turns, causing all three of them to fall into a brief silence.

You mean chocolate?

Despite Snape's 'friendly' gaze, Albert remained calm. "I don't recall Queenie Greengrass being among the people who sent me snacks."

"Don't you remember?" Snape said softly.

"During the summer vacation, I did receive a lot of snacks and letters from people." Albert had a faint smile on his lips. "Because I have had the experience of receiving malicious letters before, I am usually very wary of anything sent by strangers."

"Yes, I had my roommate help me unpack that pile of packages. There were quite a few snacks inside, and I distributed them to other people." Albert said nonchalantly to Snape's "friendly" gaze. "Of course, I also gave Professor Lockhart some chocolates last time. I'm a big fan of Professor Lockhart's books; the stories in them are wonderful."

After saying that, Albert nodded to Lockhart and said, "I'm sorry, I really didn't expect that to happen."

"It's alright, it's not your fault," Lockhart said easily, his expression becoming even more cheerful after Albert said he was a fan of his books.

Was this really an accident?

Snape felt something was off.

His intuition told him that this matter might be related to Albert, but there was no evidence to prove it.

"Oh, by the way, Miss Greengrass." Albert turned to the Slytherin girl and said seriously, "I already have a girlfriend. Don't do things like that anymore; it bothers me a lot."

"Slytherin, ten points deducted, and you're put in detention," Snape said coldly. "I will tell your family about this. Now go home, Miss Greengrass."

"I think you're being a bit too strict," Lockhart said to Snape.

"Alright, Mr. Anderson, you can go back now."

Albert, turned around, and left.

There weren't many flaws in this matter. He slightly altered Lockhart's memory, making him remember that Albert had given him some chocolates yesterday.

In fact, there were indeed some chocolates left on Lockhart's desk.

When Albert came out of Professor McGonagall's office, he was immediately surrounded by a large group of students who kept asking him questions. Albert briefly explained the matter of the Love Potion.

"So, Queenie Greengrass was actually trying to Love Potion you." Angelina found it incredible; she had also eaten the snacks Albert had given her.

"Slytherin always likes to use such despicable means to achieve its goals." Aylia was quite annoyed by this. The Flying Broom last time and the Love Potion this time had made her have a very bad impression of Slytherin.

"No, no, Queenie Greengrass doesn't genuinely like Albert at all. She's using these despicable tactics just to break up Albert and Isobel's relationship, purely to see others make a fool of themselves," Shanna said in an unfriendly tone. "That woman is a complete slut."

For every girl who loved Albert, there was another who hated Queenie Greengrass —all because she used such despicable means. The next day, the Slytherin girl received Howler from home. After the screaming ended, the Great Hall erupted in joyful laughter.
