Who Still Remembered the Trio Standing in the Corner?

"And now is not the time to argue about these things. The words on the wall and Mrs. Norris hanging below are what we should be concerned about now, aren't we?"

Bell pointed to the words written in red liquid on the wall, which was also the beginning of everything tonight.

From the moment Dumbledore and the others appeared, Filch, who had instantly gone from being a protagonist to a mere passerby, shed tears of emotion.

His cat had been hanging there for who knows how long, at least longer than Malfoy had been lying there. And he dared not take his cat down, fearing some unpredictable consequence that might lead to the unfortunate death of Mrs. Norris.

Now, finally someone is starting to care about his cat? He's been hoping from the beginning that Dumbledore would save his cat.

From the moment Malfoy appeared, Harry, Ron, and Neville, who had instantly gone from protagonists to mere passersby, also shed tears of emotion.

So what's wrong with this world? Or rather, what's wrong with Hogwarts?

At the beginning, the three of them were extremely flustered about being seen by so many people at the crime scene.

But then, for no apparent reason, the three of them were ignored. Some minor frustrations began to surface within them.

Those huge, blood-red words were written on the wall! And those three were right at the crime scene! So, isn't anyone curious about what happened? Isn't anyone going to ask them why they were there?

The three people stood at the edge of the field, looking conflicted, unsure whether to leave or stay.

Watching Bell brutally rub Malfoy, he felt a secret thrill, but mostly he was terrified, so he didn't dare utter a sound. His legs were almost numb from standing there for so long.

Now Bell finally mentioned them. If the professors hadn't been watching, Harry and his two friends would have cheered loudly.

Finally, I don't have to stand here awkwardly anymore!

The onlookers seemed to awaken from a dream.

Yes! They initially stopped because they saw the words on the wall and Mrs. Norris's 'corpse'!

It's all that Slytherin guy's fault. He's all talk and no action, and he's ruined everything.

As everyone turned their attention back to the main events of the evening, Dumbledore, unnoticed in the shadows, revealed a satisfied smile.

The script is finally back.

"Come with me, Argus."

Dumbledore married Mrs. Norris.

"And the three of you, Harry, Ron, and Neville, you three come along too."

Lockhart hurriedly stepped forward.

"My office is upstairs, the closest one to here. Principal, you can go to my office."

"Thank you, Gilderoy."

Dumbledore nodded.

Lockhart hurriedly led the way. When passing Bell's location, he even deliberately took a detour.

Good heavens, when Dumbledore invited him to teach at Hogwarts, he didn't tell him that the Little Wizard at Hogwarts were all this ruthless.

Lockhart doesn't want to stay here for another second, and he doesn't want to get close to that guy named Menethil anymore.

Lockhart was well aware of how flamboyant he was. If one day the other person took a dislike to him and attacked him, his lifelong reputation would be truly ruined.

And most importantly, he knows that Little Witch Hermione very well!

We've already started calling each other by name, how could we not be familiar with each other!

During his breaks, the other party would often come to his office to ask about the contents of his books.

Lockhart had answered similar questions countless times in his replies to fans. So, he was quite adept at answering their questions, and he managed to win them over to the point of almost worship.

God knows if that vicious brat Menethil will even make it out of school alive if he finds out he's been fooling his girlfriend all along! At the very least, he'll be in a worse state than the guy lying on the ground before!

At that moment, Lockhart quietly made a decision in his heart.

"Play it safe and don't be reckless!"

After Dumbledore and the others left, the remaining professors led the Little Wizard back to the common room.

As they walked, Hermione continued to grumble to Bell.

"Bell, why are you stopping me?! Those words on the wall aren't going to disappear on their own. They've already been there for so long, what's a little longer?"

Hermione said with dissatisfaction.

As for whether Harry and the others will suffer even more because of this?

The Little Witch said she didn't care about any of that!

She wasn't familiar with Harry and the others.

Rather, she would prefer that Harry and his two friends endure more suffering! That way, perhaps the next time they want to break School Rules and do something bad, they will hesitate for a second or two.

"If I were to try and negotiate with Professor McGonagall again, perhaps I could share some of the punishment you've received. Maybe that would reduce the number of points you lose in your House Points."

Bell looked at Hermione in surprise. He never expected that the Little Witch, who always valued her House Points so much, would one day voluntarily ask to have House Points deducted! And the reason was him!?

Oh no, what should I do if I suddenly feel a little touched?

Why does Hermione seem kind of cute today?

It must be an illusion!

If Hermione knew that she had deliberately gotten up an hour early this morning, carefully applied her makeup while asking her roommate for advice, and that Bell had only just discovered it, the Little Witch would probably immediately go to Professor McGonagall and embellish what had happened before, trying to get Bell to lose another 100 points!

"It's alright, Hermione. You know, we Ravenclaw never care about House Points. So nobody's going to care how many points I lost, probably."

Bell spoke to Hermione in a relaxed tone, while simultaneously blocking out the piercing, disapproving gazes coming from all around.

Just kidding, he's number one in his grade! Just look at Hermione's also number one, and you'll know how many points a top student can add to their house every year! He may not be as good as Hermione, but he still adds points, right?

Yes, maybe?

In short, none of this matters. So what if you lose a few points occasionally? As the saying goes, out with the old, in with the new.

Bell, who has never answered a question in class and has yet to earn a single point for Ravenclaw, strode shamelessly down the hallway.

"You must tell me when you're in solitary confinement, and I can help you then."

Hermione looked firmly at Bell and said in an unquestionable manner.

"...All right."

Bell reluctantly agreed.

It seems he'll need to think about how to persuade Hermione to turn a blind eye to his cheating when he gets back tonight.

Bell, who still doesn't know what the detention entails, has already begun paving the way for cheating.

Good children should never learn this!
