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

"Your confinement today will involve organizing the newly arrived medicinal herbs and sorting them out."

Snape pointed roughly at the huge package in the corner of the office.

It seemed that because there were too many medicinal herbs stuffed inside, it suddenly burst open and the herbs scattered all over the floor, almost submerging half of the floor of the storage room.

Snape frowned, strode out and closed the door of the room.

Jian Yu observed these herbs and found that they came from Slug & Giggs Pharmacy in Diagon Alley.

But for some reason, the medicinal herbs delivered by this shop on weekdays were neatly arranged, but today they were mixed together in a mess.

Mistletoe berries, aconite root, stork feathers, valerian twigs, peppermint, daisy root...

They all seem to be very common potion ingredients.

But when she was arranging the feather grass, she found something wrong.

Beneath the dried leaves, there was something else mixed in.

It was a few broken pieces, and judging from the shape and color, it seemed to be some kind of keratin.

She picked up the pieces and tried to put them together - it was the horn of a bicorn!

After stuffing the fragments into her robe, she continued to sort the materials, but found some long, scaly, dry epidermal membranes under the bat's wings - the damaged skin of an African tree snake!

She picked up the potion list beside her with some confusion, but found that Snape did not order this kind of medicine.

It seems that the clerk accidentally mixed it in when packing.

How careless.

Carrying a bag of stolen herbs, she met Harry and others again in an abandoned classroom.

The three of them looked at her with an expression of admiration for Merlin.

"Merlin's beard!" Ron exclaimed. "It's already the limit for me to be able to walk out of Snape's class alive. You're in detention there every week, and you can still smuggle herbs in. It's amazing!"

Harry and Hermione nodded in unison.

"The brewing process will be very fast. I didn't expect you to get them so quickly."

Hermione happily told Jane to wait for her good news.

......

Slytherin common room.

Jane opened the door for Harry and Ron and told them to sit on the bench and wait.

The reason there were two of them was because Hermione had turned into a half-human, half-cat creature—she had accidentally put hair from Millicent’s cat into the potion.

Harry only felt a surge of nervousness as he saw Malfoy sauntering towards them.

"Are you back from your feast in the Great Hall?" Malfoy said in that arrogant, slow tone. "I've been looking for you. I wanted to show you this."

He threw the clipping he was holding into Ron's lap.

Ron's face - or rather Crabbe's face - gradually turned red and his expression twisted.

Because the clipping was about [Arthur Weasley, Director of the Office for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts, was fined fifty Galleons for bewitching a Muggle car.]

Malfoy continued with contemptuous sarcasm:

"My father asked him to resign immediately. These self-depraved pure-blood scums are not worthy of working in the Ministry of Magic."

Ron looked like he was about to draw his wand and hex him.

Harry had to hold his brother's sleeve tightly to prevent them from revealing the truth. He got to the point with difficulty:

"But they're hanging around with the Potter-heir, maybe he'll side with the Weasleys--"

He waited with bated breath, hoping Malfoy would tell him who the heir was.

"Saint Potter? Heir?" Malfoy's voice suddenly became sharp, as if he had heard the funniest thing in the world. "Goyle, I often suspect that you are too stupid to be a Slytherin."

He stood up and looked down at the two of them with contempt:

"How many times do I have to tell you? Goyle, Crabbe? My father won't tell me who the heir is, or the last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened. But it definitely wasn't Potter."

Harry and Ron looked at each other and continued to ask awkwardly:

"But you know a little bit about the secret room... the heir..."

But Malfoy showed a distressed expression:

"Of course, I do have a suspect..."

"I've been trying to get her back on track but she keeps being fooled by those stupid lions."

"We just had a fight at the beginning of the school year." He suddenly flew into a rage again and slammed the back of his chair. "Damn it! She actually said that I'm not as good as Weasley? That red-haired mole whose whole family is pure-blood traitors? I'm the only heir to the Malfoy family!"

Crabbe's face turned even redder and he began to fidget.

"Anyway, I've written to my dad to ask him to stop Dumbledore from expelling her," Malfoy continued, looking worried again. "I don't understand why she likes those idiots in Gryffindor so much... but I've prepared an eagle owl for her for Christmas, she should like this big owl - what's wrong with you?"

Harry and Ron jumped to their feet.

Ron's hair was turning red and his nose was growing longer; Harry's body was shrinking - the effect of the drug had worn off!

"We have a stomachache--" Ron muttered and rushed out.

The two of them rushed breathlessly to the abandoned classroom where Hermione was.

"I didn't expect Malfoy to be able to do anything." Harry said, "Although he doubted Jade, at least his father prevented her from dropping out of school..."

They recounted the whole conversation to Hermione in a flurry.

"So you found nothing?" Hermione screamed, her face covered with yellow and black cat hair and two pointed ears. "I became such a horrible thing! And you didn't find out anything!"

"Uh..." Ron shrank his neck and blushed, "It's not completely useless. At least I know that Jade is on our side. She said Malfoy is no match for me... and she likes Gryffindor very much..."

Hermione looked like she wanted to pounce on Ron and bite him with her four newly born cat canines:

"You actually - still doubt her position?"

"Of course she's been wrongly accused! We need to find the true heir and make everyone stop doubting Jade and Harry!"

She angrily opened the door of the compartment and yelled at the two of them:

"Go and explain to Jade yourselves! She took the risk of stealing the herbs from right under Snape's nose - and you didn't get anything out of her! And you, Ron Weasley, still doubt that she is the heir?!"

......

Harry and Ron came to Jane Yu tremblingly.

They stammered and told her what had happened.

Jian Yu's eyes turned dark.

She asked why she had never been expelled by Dumbledore, and it turned out that it was Malfoy who was causing trouble!

She couldn't help but wonder if he had awakened some strange golden arch physique.

She had made him so angry, but not only did he not write to his father to force her to drop out of school, he actually prevented the school from expelling her!

Maybe he should persuade Harry to give up the title to him so he could be called "Saint Malfoy"!

What a thorough backstab!

"It's okay..." She pressed her aching stomach and said weakly, "I'll continue to think of a solution..."

It seems that the heir has nothing to do with him. She needs to change direction.

Seeing her like this, Harry and Ron felt even more ashamed.

"If we find anything unusual, we will come to you immediately," they promised.
