HP: I just wanted to drop out of school, but I saved the world

Chapter 376: Punishment at the beginning of school (2)

Seeing that the principal had spoken, the originally noisy auditorium finally quieted down.

"I think it was Mr. Crabbe and Mr. Goyle who were at fault this time." Dumbledore's expression was very calm. "Hogwarts is not a place that serves only a few people. The food produced in the kitchens here and the long tables and seats in the auditorium exist for all students."

He first defended the authority of the poor Slytherin Headmaster, who had to handle multiple duties and also had to deal with student fights:

"Of course, we do not approve of students using fighting and violence to solve problems. Pointing a magic wand at a classmate is extremely bad behavior."

"I hope you will learn to ask professors for help directly. For this, Professor Snape's deduction of 150 points is very reasonable."

Accompanied by the boos and commotion in the auditorium again——

Dumbledore looked at Daphne and Astoria, then at Blaise, with a little admiration in his eyes, and then changed the subject:

"But these students are bravely fighting for their rights."

"I am glad that you have recognized the injustice of your situation, the bullying that occurs in your academy, and have taken action for fairness and justice."

"For this, I want to give these brave students 150 points."

The positive and negative offset each other, which means no points were deducted at all——

This made each little snake look much better, and there was a slightly relaxed atmosphere among them.

But they did not give up and continued to keep a close eye on Dumbledore, hoping that he would exempt Jian Yu from the confinement punishment.

"Of course, that's exactly what I want to say." Dumbledore continued, "It can bring hope to everyone's resistance and make everyone realize that the efforts to fight against darkness are effective. I must give Miss Jane some encouragement, and the punishment of confinement should naturally be exempted."

Joy immediately showed on the face of every little snake!

Daphne cheered, and the little snakes clapped in unison...

The applause grew louder and louder, gradually filling the entire auditorium, and students from the other three colleges stood up again!

"Merlin's beard, I never thought that one day I would applaud Slytherin for not losing points! What a record!" Ron complained loudly, "My hands feel dirty, but I don't know why they can't help but want to close together!"

"Yes." Harry nodded, his face twisted with sadness and joy, "At least Yu's detention is finally exempted, but brother, maybe you haven't realized it - I have deducted 150 points from Gryffindor."

Ron's expression also twisted, and his clapping hands finally stopped, but only for a few seconds before they closed again:

"It's all right, Harry, we're all used to Snape taking points off you—"

"Anyway, this won't have any impact on Yu winning the College Cup and the Special Contribution Award, just like a mermaid without a flying broom."

Harry nodded in agreement. Although he felt that there was something strange about what Ron said, there didn't seem to be any logical problems when he thought about it carefully.

Then peace and joy returned to the Gryffindor table.

But amid the students' joy, Snape's face had already turned darker than when he saw the little snakes fighting.

Perhaps the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same -

His feelings were comparable to watching Potter dance the wedding march in front of him.

Even the 150 points that Dumbledore forcibly gave Slytherin couldn't save his mood.

First, Potter and Jane were both late and brought the bad news about the love life of one of their archenemies, Remus Lupin. Then, the Slytherins collectively transformed into Gryffindors and fought and cursed each other. Then, he had to take ruthless actions in public to deduct points from the school to show his attitude. Finally, Dumbledore forcibly gave wings to the cooked apprentice and let him fly out of the crucible...

He just felt that today was an especially dark day in his life.

This made him glare at Dumbledore unhappily, trying to express his dissatisfaction with gloomy eyes and not very rich facial expressions.

"I must give Miss Jane a privilege."

Seeing Snape's face darker than the bottom of a pot, Dumbledore spoke tactfully, trying to prevent his subordinate from quitting:

"She will have the opportunity to study advanced potions under the guidance of a senior potion master."

"Severus, perhaps you would be willing to exercise your duties as Head of Slytherin -"

Snape's expression turned from gloomy to bright, and he took the step that was handed to him.

"It is my duty to teach outstanding students in the headmaster's eyes how to brew potions."

Dumbledore, who had successfully rebalanced the interests between students and professors, breathed a sigh of relief:

"Also, the seating arrangement here needs some rearranging. Severus, perhaps you think—"

"Now, immediately, immediately, sit down according to the initials of your surnames." Snape ordered, "Don't let me see any ridiculous incidents here because of fighting for food and seats."

The little snakes did not move. They once again turned their gaze to Jian Yu, waiting for her instructions.

Seeing her walk towards the table, they finally took action, standing in alphabetical order of last names from front to back, in front of half of the table.

Only after Jian Yu sat down did the little snakes sit down one after another.

Almost the moment they sat down in their seats, their mood became extremely comfortable!

Although this is just an ordinary, hard bench that students have sat on for many years——

But they sat on the leather sofa and felt the top luxury and nobility!

They touched and wiped it left and right, and picked up their wands to clean the stools, feeling overjoyed.

Perhaps the reward for hard work always tastes extraordinarily good, and these benches have become the fruits of their victory!

This makes everyone's face filled with undisguised pride!

They knew that they had gained the approval of Jian Yu, who had been silently observing their rebellious spirit...

And he directly helped them deal with the most powerful enemy, Nott!

Drag the man to the long table, knock him out and beat him up!

Look how relaxed she is, her body is clean without any scars, even her hospital robe is meticulously worn, completely different from their bruised and swollen faces!

But the little snakes understood that the bruises on their faces were not the shame of their lack of strength, but the medal of Merlin!

They just felt like they were discovering for the first time that the magic power bursting out of their bodies could be so powerful...

This is the first time I found that my spells can be cast so quickly and accurately!

This also made them finally realize that resistance is useful and the groups that oppress them can be overthrown!

Everyone held their head high, and the joy at being proud almost infected the entire auditorium.

This caused the students at the other three long tables to uncontrollably look up at them.

......

In short, this opening ceremony, which was not very smooth, went on smoothly.

Having successfully handled the accident and calmed everyone down, Dumbledore returned to the teachers' seat with a smile.

He knew that the next step would be the same as it was every year, with Vice-Principal Minerva and the Sorting Hat hosting the Sorting Ceremony. As the Headmaster, he would give a speech at the end, talk about precautions, and introduce the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor...

After that, he can go back to the comfortable recliner in the principal's office to relax and get ready for the challenges of the new school year.

It’s just that ideals are full, but reality is very skinny——

He hasn't even relaxed for two seconds...

In a blink of an eye, he only saw his old friend who had changed his appearance sitting in the teacher's seat.

With his fingers crossed, he gazed at the Slytherin table for a long time with interest!
