The Lion Cub Busted at the Footbath Shop

The Easter holiday is finally over.

But this holiday was not easy; all the students had piles of homework.

The professors seemed to have conspired to use a "sea of questions" approach to keep everyone confined to the library, preventing them from taking time off to do other bad things.

Even Li's Reference Answer Studio was working overtime, making him so anxious that his face turned dark.

It used to be dark... but it was a shiny black. Now it's as black as charcoal and doesn't shine.

These are the glossy and matte finish models.

As you can imagine, the sheer volume of homework was staggering.

This is like having a long holiday, but the boss forces you to work overtime without paying overtime.

The students were weighed down by three mountains: Snape, McGonagall, and Professor Flitwick!

Faced with these three, everyone could only mutter under their breath: Damn magicism!

Despite the scolding, William certainly wouldn't retaliate; he might even enjoy it. After all, all the teachers had exempted him from homework, including Snape, with whom he had business dealings.

He is a typical beneficiary of vested interests.

However, William couldn't let his stance be biased, so he secretly wrote down some reference answers and sent them to Li's studio.

Making money or not doesn't matter; the key is interest.

With the end of Easter, the dull atmosphere at school finally came alive.

Hogwarts is about to hold the Quidditch final of this school year.

It's this weekend, Ravenclaw vs. Gryffindor!

Last year, the Quidditch Match was cancelled for a whole year due to the Chamber of Secrets attack.

This year's final has become the most anticipated focus for everyone.

Gryffindor the most nervous; if they didn't win this time, they would go eight years without a title.

Eight consecutive years... How many eight-year periods does a student have?

The previous Gryffindor students never saw what the Quidditch Cup looked like, from enrollment to graduation!

Could it get any worse?

In the words of Nearly Headless Nick: "This is an unimaginable disgrace!"

In his time, the team members would have been hanged!

Professor McGonagall also repeatedly pressured Wood, reminding Wood from various angles:

If she hadn't won the championship, she would never have been able to hold her head high in front of Professor Flitwick for the rest of her life.

McGonagall's pressure and everyone's expectations made the Gryffindor Quidditch team feel extremely nervous.

They are family members themselves, and they know their own affairs.

Wood is about to graduate, and without this captain and goalkeeper, this pillar of strength, the team's strength will decline significantly.

And then they get another unreliable goalkeeper...

This might be their last, and best, chance to win the championship in recent years!

Of course, they are also full of confidence.

Because they narrowly defeated Hufflepuff in the last match.

Although Ravenclaw is very strong, and William is an absolute force to be reckoned with, they haven't played in a long time and are a bit rusty.

And Gryffindor is on fire!

Slaying gods and destroying the Dao, defying the heavens... Now is the time!

We, the players, have nothing to fear in this battle!

The slogans were shouted loudly, and both sides remained relatively restrained, preventing a large-scale conflict, but relations reached an all-time low.

Ravenclaw temporarily replaced Slytherin as their most hated house.

Every time William appeared in the Gryffindor Common Room, the lion cubs would swarm around him and Hermione, deliberately disturbing him and trying to affect his concentration.

In this atmosphere, an unexpected incident finally occurred.

This is normal.

If Quidditch Match doesn't have some kind of unexpected event, that would be considered an accident. It's like the Halloween curse—something always seems to happen!

This unexpected incident was a bit embarrassing. Yes, very embarrassing!

The Gryffindor players went to Gnome massage parlor to relax on the eve of the match, and were then captured by the Auror.

The arrested team members:

It was none other than the famous Potter and Gryffindor Quidditch Team Wood.

It is said that when the Auror in, they were selecting Gnome.

Ron was also arrested at the same time.

Compared to the previous two, almost no one paid attention to him; he was just a nobody, the kind that could be ignored.

The one who made the arrest was Tonks Auror known as "Proud Flower".

She'd been eyeing the foot massage parlor for days.

Originally intending to arrest William, she even used a sting operation to invite him on a date.

Unfortunately, William completely ignored Tonks.

He even wrote her an extremely tactful letter, telling her to give up on the idea and stop pestering him!

Tonks wanted nothing more than to rush into Hogwarts and stab him to death with her wand. But that was just a thought; after all, William's "salary" guaranteed her quality of life.

You can't afford to mess with Galleon.

So Harry and his friends were in trouble.

Harry's arrest had an extremely negative impact.

Whether a foot massage parlor is legitimate or not isn't the key point... well, that's also important.

But what's even more serious is that he went to Hogsmeade secretly.

In Professor Snape's words:

"From the Minister for Magic down, everyone has been working hard to protect the famous Harry Potter Black from Sirius."

But the famous Harry Potter himself is the law!

Let ordinary people worry about his safety. The famous Harry Potter can go wherever he wants without considering the consequences.

These words were said to Professor McGonagall's face. She was so angry that she was trembling all over, and despite the hot weather, she was covered in cold sweat and her hands and feet were ice-cold.

Even worse is:

Harry not only sneaked into Hogsmeade, but also attacked Malfoy with mud while wearing the Invisibility Cloak. Malfoy reported him.

Professor McGonagall immediately deducted 200 points from Harry, and 50 points each from Wood and Ron.

According to the current college points rankings:

Gryffindor has already scored -700 points.

That's more than Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff's combined House Points!

This may be a new record that can never be surpassed.

If it weren't for the competition the next day, the lion cubs would probably have devoured the three of them alive!

The Gryffindor Quidditch Match must be won, otherwise this semester will become a complete joke.

Harry and Wood have a chance to reverse public opinion. Ron, however, isn't so lucky.

Professor McGonagall was furious with him and forbade him from ever going to Hogsmeade again, and even put him in solitary confinement.

Mrs. Weasley also sent Ron several Howler letters, saying that she had disgraced the Weasley family.

They even dared to take Harry to Hogsmeade, putting him in mortal danger. I'll break both his legs when we get home!

That's true; he was indeed the one who encouraged Harry to go.

Hermione had warned the two of them not to go to Hogsmeade through the secret passage again.

But Ron gave her the power to report it, and if Harry got expelled, it would be her responsibility!

Hermione ignored Ron completely. Sirius was safe, but Ron didn't know that!

From his perspective, Black was hunting Harry down and had even infiltrated the school.

In such a dangerous situation, he actually encouraged Harry to visit Hogsmeade. What if they ran into Peter?

Even if you get caught, it's not a loss!

And so... they were indeed arrested.

On the eve of the match, all daily activities in the Ravenclaw House Common Room were suspended.

Marcus and Bradley spoke much louder than usual to relieve stress.

In a corner, Cho was discussing with Cedric how to deal with Harry's Firebolt.

After all, she was only riding Nimbus 2000, which was several levels below!

William was inspecting his Firebolt to prevent any problems.

At this moment, Penelope, the senior student, came over. She admired the Firebolt for a while without saying a word.

William, unable to bear her stare any longer, was about to give a professional explanation of the Firebolt when she suddenly leaned closer and whispered:

"William, I have a question for you... Tell me the truth, can you win?!"

William raised an eyebrow; he sensed a gambling addict in the air.

"I made a bet with Percy," Penelope whispered.

"William, you absolutely have to win! I don't have thirty Galleon."

"..."

So you're trying to get something for nothing?

Wait a minute... it's like Percy had thirty Galleon.

You two are trying to trick each other out of our freedom!

Tsk tsk, these days, gambling addicts are everywhere.

It's gotten to the point where he's even considering... throwing the match!
