Hogwarts: Don't call me Wandmaker

Chapter 56 The Forgotten Fire Dragon
Soon, Professor Sprout, who had received the news, also arrived with a furious look on his face. It was the first time that everyone saw this usually gentle professor so furious.

"unacceptable……"

"You Gryffindors are taking it too far!"

Siren and the Weasley brothers shrank their necks, trying to reduce their presence as much as possible.

However, her second sentence was obviously directed at Professor McGonagall, and Professor McGonagall herself subconsciously showed a guilty look.

In fact, what she said just now was not a guess, but a result of experience. A student had done the same thing more than ten years ago, and coincidentally, he was also a Gryffindor.

However, the Whomping Willow had just been planted not long ago, and its aggressiveness was far less than it is now, so after seeing the branch in Xilun's hand, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Punishment, must be punished!
Professor McGonagall's face hardened again.

Seeing her like this, and the fact that the Whomping Willow had not damaged the main branch, Professor Sprout did not say anything more. He glanced at Ciarán and the Weasley brothers and left in a hurry.

"You..." Professor McGonagall wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by a rude scolding.

"Come here quickly, don't dawdle, you can't run away this time."

The sound came from the stairs.

It was Filch, and behind him were three droopy-headed students.

Harry, Ron, Hermione...

"Professor McGonagall, I caught three students wandering around at night." Filch said excitedly, completely unaware of Professor McGonagall's almost fainting expression.

This night was extremely exciting for her. Not only did eight students come out for a night out, but seven of them were Gryffindors.

Professor McGonagall felt dizzy and swayed for a few seconds before she regained her balance.

"Thank you for your hard work, Filch."

After sending Filch away, Professor McGonagall turned around, took a deep breath and said, "All of you, follow me!"

She really didn't dare to stay here any longer, for fear that two more Gryffindors would show up for a night out.

So she took them to the study on the second floor, where she usually read books and magazines, and it could be considered her second office.

After closing the door, she looked at the three newcomers with an expressionless face.

"Now, explain it yourselves..."

"Professor, they're bringing a fire dragon!"

Before the three of them could say anything, Malfoy, the only Slytherin present, couldn't wait to speak: "They have illegally bred a dragon and decided to give it away tonight... to a man named Charlie Weasley."

"This is complete nonsense!" said Professor McGonagall angrily. "Dragon...how dare you make up such a lie."

"I do not have……"

"You can go back now." Professor McGonagall did not let Malfoy continue, "I will tell Snape about this, and I want to see how he will deal with you.

"Now, go back to the dormitory immediately!"

Malfoy was obviously not very willing to accept this, but he didn't dare to disobey Professor McGonagall, so he could only open the door and leave angrily... He didn't even dare to slam the door, so he closed it gently.

"It's your turn." Professor McGonagall's voice was a little tired.

"You must have thought it was funny that you made up a lie to Draco Malfoy about a dragon and all, and tricked him out of his bed, and then Longbottom heard it and believed it."

The three of them looked at Neville at the same time.

"I, I've been looking for you..." Neville blurted out, "I want to give you a warning, I heard Malfoy say he is coming to arrest you..."

"That's enough!" Professor McGonagall snapped, and Neville immediately shut up.

"I'm very angry. I've never heard of seven students staying up all night. You... forget it." Professor McGonagall looked at Hermione, then at Harry and Ciarán, as if she wanted to say something, but waved her hand tiredly.

"Solitary confinement. Each of you will be put in solitary confinement, and fifty points will be deducted from each of you..." She suddenly stopped here.

Professor McGonagall did a quick calculation and realized that if she followed her original penalty, Gryffindor would have no chance of chasing the House Cup.

"Two hundred points," she said. "Gryffindor will lose two hundred points because of you!"

"Two hundred?" Harry felt breathless. They went straight from first to last. They would become sinners.

The others were in the same situation. Even Fred and George, who were often deducted points, felt at a loss.

They had never heard of anyone being deducted 200 points at once.

As for Xi Lun, he had been standing there since before the points were deducted.

"Professor... please..."

"You can't..."

"You don't need to tell me what I can and can't do. Now, go back to your dorms. I've never been more embarrassed for a Gryffindor student."

Several people left the house in a daze, only Xi Lun was still standing there, looking like an idiot.

Professor McGonagall could see that he wasn't pretending, and for a moment she softened her heart.

It seems that he was instigated by the Weasley brothers, but he didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.

But no matter what, he violated school rules by running out in the middle of the night and must be punished.

In the end, Xi Lun didn't know how he was dragged back to the dormitory by the Weasley brothers and Harry.

There was only one thing on his mind - Harry and the others were going to send a dragon tonight...

After hearing what Neville said, he finally remembered what he had been forgetting.

Fire dragon!

Quirrell deliberately lost a dragon egg to Hagrid in a card game, and then took the opportunity to get the method to deal with Fluffy, the three-headed dog.

The dragon egg was also hatched by Hagrid in the fireplace, and it turned out to be a rare Norwegian Ridgeback dragon.

It must have been during the Easter holidays, but at that time he was so focused on the Whipping Willow that he completely forgot about it.

"Oh!" Xi Lun couldn't help but moan.

He remembered it now, all of it, but the Norwegian Ridgeback had also been sent away.

Whenever he thought about it, Xilun felt his heart bleeding.

That was a whole, living Norwegian Ridgeback.

Although Xi Lun knew in his heart that Hagrid would never give it to Xi Lun as a wand core, but what if...

What if the Norwegian Ridgeback has any extra dragon scales, dragon nerves, dragon hearts, etc.? At the very least, dragon flame is one of the best choices for smoking the body of the whopping willow.

Oh, and speaking of the Whomping Willow, all the branches I picked up tonight were confiscated by Professor McGonagall, there's not a single one left.

I feel even more distressed!
Xi Lun tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

It seemed that Harry couldn't sleep in that dormitory either. Siren could even clearly hear Neville's sobbing and Ron's complaints.
"It's all because of that damn tree. Professor Sprout has been keeping watch outside at night. Otherwise, we could have written to Charlie ten days ago!"
