"Leon Chris!" Snape roared and grabbed Leon by the collar, dragging him away, leaving the dining room in silence.
"That's Slytherin," muttered some of the Slytherin wizards, shivering.
"What a terrifying declaration." The young Magi from the other courtyards had the same thought.
Hermione, on the other hand, was worried as she watched Leon being dragged away in a sorry state. She asked Ron, Harry, and Neville, who were already familiar with each other,"What's a Mudblood?"
"A very bad word, very vicious. I think Chris's anger is justified.”said Neville first.
"Although I don't like Slytherin, I still think that Chris is quite good. If it were me, I wouldn't let go of anyone who said such words!”Ron added in front of the Greatest King.
"Hermione, don't worry. Chris is fine. After all, he's the victim in this matter. His last sentence wasn't very nice, but it shouldn't be anything. It's just a threat.”said Harry comfortingly, knowing Hermione and Leon's relationship.
The twin brothers came over and gave Hermione a thumbs up."Hermione, your little boyfriend's so cool, he should belong in Gryffindor!”
"He won't come to Gryffindor," Hermione replied regretfully, as if she had not heard the words of the twin brother about the relationship between Leon and her. Her face blushed unconsciously.
"Oh, poor boy, Headmaster, rather than leave the boy in Slytherin, it would be better to transfer him to Gryffindor.”Professor McGonagall suggested sadly to Dumbledore.
" No, the Sorting Hat has already decided his House. It's a tradition and a rule. We can't change it without asking Leon's permission. But don't worry, Professor McGonagall, this little guy's future in Slytherin will be very easy, even if he becomes enemies with the entire House.”Dumbledore replied meaningfully, causing Professor McGonagall to look puzzled.
On the other side, after Professor Snape dragged Leon out of the auditorium, he was released when there was no one around.
"Smart move." said Snape suddenly, leading the way.
"Professor, what do you mean?" Leon pretended to be confused.
"Your last threat should have been lowered, but you didn't. Instead, you said it out loud.”Snape replied.
"Maybe it's because I'm angry?”Leon explained.
"Then you wouldn't have said this to me. Moreover, from the beginning to the end, I didn't feel your anger.”Snape stopped and looked back at Leon.
"I still don't understand what you mean.”Leon still looked confused.
Snape sneered, said nothing more, and set off again.
He knew that Leon was playing dumb, but it didn't matter. Those who played dumb would live longer than those who were stupid enough to admit that they were boorish. The last sentence that Leon said in the auditorium was not meant for that young wizard, but for all the wizards present. That threat was also a warning to everyone, telling them that Leon was not to be trifled with. This would save Leon a lot of meaningless trouble in the future.
This was also why Snape thought Leon was smart. If he wanted to confirm his status and prestige in a place, he had to show his attitude and strength. All the young wizards knew Leon's strength, and Leon's attitude was vividly displayed in the sentence just now. Even if it would give some young wizards a bad impression of Leon, this small price was not worth mentioning in the harvest.
This was also one of the things that Snape admired about Leon. Not only was this child mature and steady, but he also knew when to do what. It was just that he was still a child. Even though he was mature, there were still some areas where he lacked thought.
For example, the incident in the afternoon.
"We're here. Now, close the door and hand over the thing.”
In Snape's office, as soon as Leon entered, Snape spoke directly.
"What is it?" Leon closed the door, his heart tightened, and he continued to play dumb.
"Bright red mushroom, horse-root grass, sun-facing vine, peacebloom, do you need me to continue?”Snape looked at Leon with a playful expression and repeated the names of the potions one by one.
Leon's face was dark. He had collected all these things in the Forbidden Forest in the afternoon, and the order Snape had mentioned was exactly the same as the order he had collected them.
"A Disillusionment Charm?" Leon asked helplessly.
"You don't look stupid knowing about the curse.”Snape nodded in satisfaction. Leon had quickly analyzed the reason and found the corresponding spell, which made him very satisfied.
"Professor, are you that bored? He followed me around for the entire afternoon." Leon didn't know what to say to Snape. After all, it didn't make sense for a professor to follow him for an entire afternoon.
And if Snape was really following him, shouldn't he have appeared to stop him before he entered the forest? Why did he only start to reveal his background after the trip? Could it be that this old bat saw that he had gained a lot and was jealous? Was he planning to take advantage of him?
"As a professor, I have the right to monitor your life on campus. As the dean, I also have to know what you are doing. However, thanks to you, I was able to broaden my horizons this afternoon.”Snape said sarcastically, then stretched out his hand.
Leon sighed, took out his wallet, and threw all his spoils of the afternoon on the ground. Every potion was separated into a small pile, and the most eye-catching thing was the eight bottles of venom from the Eight-eyed Giant Spider.
"Professor, I worked so hard to get these from the Forbidden Forest. If you really want to use this as a threat to cheat me, I'll have to petition you.”
Leon threatened as he took out everything. After all, these were the main fighting forces he needed to pay off his debt.
"Aren't you afraid I'll tell Dumbledore about your hunt for the eight-eyed tarantula in the forest? And you used Muggle-made guns in the forest, did you know that the Ministry of Magic has an Office for the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts, which deals with such matters? Aren't you afraid of Azkaban?" Snape reminded Leon with interest.
" A young wizard trespassing into the Forbidden Forest will only result in demerit points and confinement. As for the use of firearms, I did not cause any trouble to wizards or Muggles. The only one injured was the Eight-eyed Giant Spider. Moreover, the Forbidden Forest is Hogwarts 'property. Even if the Office for the Protection of Magical Beasts comes knocking, it will be Hogwarts' business. Not to mention, those Eight-eyed Giant Spiders are hated by dogs. No one cares how many of them die.”Leon explained clearly to Snape.
"It seems that you are not reckless and are well prepared. Unfortunately, can you really protect these things with your strength?”Snape sneered back, pulling out his wand.
"Perhaps we'll have to try to find out.”
