Chapter 46: ch-46
At lunchtime, almost everyone who came to the hall to eat saw the Gryffindor score column almost completely disappearing, and the Slytherin score column suddenly cut in half.
Professor McGonagall also explained the reasons for the deduction in front of all the students in the school.
However, although she had defined the matter - points were deducted because of night wandering, and she did not mention the word duel, she could not control what the young wizards thought.
At least now, it has been confirmed in people's minds that Malfoy is afraid of fighting.
Not only did he bring shame to his family, but he also caused Slytherin to be deducted a huge number of points, ruining their good lead.
Now, many little snakes looked at Malfoy with unfriendly eyes.
As for the Gryffindors...although they were sad about the score, they were all happy that Harry and Ronald could drag Slytherin into the fun.
As long as Slytherin was unlucky, it wouldn't matter if Gryffindor lost some points.
If it is not deducted today, it will definitely be deducted one day in the future. It is only a matter of time.
What's more, Harry reminded them to keep the secret that day and not to tell anyone, so everyone was wrong.
Tom was also very happy. Now Ravenclaw was the first in the house, and Slytherin was far behind.
Now Professor Snape should be able to notice his importance, right?
Sure enough, when it came to Friday's Potions class, Snape, contrary to his usual behavior, thought of Tom, the little extra score expert, and the first half of the class became a question-answering competition for the two of them.
Snape kept asking questions, and Tom answered them one by one.
If the answer is correct, then of course some points will be added to Slytherin.
However, Snape would not go too far and would occasionally pass the problem on to others, striving to be fair and just.
For example, Longbottom and Finnigan.
But who made them unable to answer? Don't blame him for not giving Gryffindor extra points.
After class, Tom and Snape looked at each other and smiled at the same time. It was the first time that such a harmonious scene appeared between them.
But Snape quickly regained his composure, returned to his expressionless state, and left the office with the textbooks.
But he had to admit...having a student like Tom was indeed a pleasant thing.
He has a wide range of knowledge and can understand things very quickly. Between books and his words, he chooses to believe his arguments without hesitation.
This is so cool!
But why... did this person have to be Tom Riddle?
Snape felt very uncomfortable.
Miss Granger was also upset.
She was complaining to Tom about Snape's unfairness. Tom answered twenty questions in the whole class, but she only answered two, one of which was wrong. One plus one minus was equal to nothing.
"Then you should go and talk to Snape." Tom was in a good mood. Another professor noticed his excellence, and such days would continue for some time.
Once Snape tastes the sweetness, it will become a habit and he will habitually give him extra points.
However, in order to make Snape more daring, he also had to create some difficulties for Slytherin to win the championship.
No, it cannot be said to be difficult to manufacture.
He was just returning the points that the biased dean had deducted from other students. That was so fair.
When Hermione heard what Tom said, her mouth puffed up like a hamster, which was very cute.
Go to Snape to argue?
Did he feel that he had a strong psychological endurance and wanted to find some excitement, or did he feel that Gryffindor had too many points and had to give some away?
Daphne looked at Hermione's deflated look with a smile on her face. Hermione glared at her for gloating over her misfortune, and Daphne didn't tolerate it and glared back at her.
But given their cute looks with some baby fat, the looks didn't have any lethality at all, it was just like a competition between friends.
Even Tom didn't care.
These two people have been at odds with each other for a long time, but fortunately, it is only at the verbal stage and at most it is just a quarrel.
Their ability to act is not even as good as that of Zabini and his gang, but at least those guys planned two revenge operations.
"I say, do you want to go for afternoon tea together?"
"Yes!" the two little witches said in unison.
"OK, let's go to the atrium. There aren't many days left where we can eat outside."
Tom's proposal was agreed by the two. The weather has been getting colder recently. Once October comes, they probably won't even want to go out of the castle.
The three of them walked up the stairs talking and laughing, and even Tom didn't notice that behind them, Malfoy's eyes were full of resentment.
This week should be the darkest week in Malfoy's life. Not only was he ridiculed by students from other colleges, but even many students from his own college thought that he had discredited Slytherin.
It was vague that Malfoy had been isolated. Apart from his two followers, only Pansy Parkinson was willing to talk to him.
What made Malfoy even more angry was that some big mouth passed the news back home, and his father actually found out what he had done and sent a letter to scold him.
Malfoy swore that he had never seen his father say so many dirty words, and the curses were as ugly as they could be.
Malfoy was already in a bad mood, and after seeing Tom steal the show today, his mentality was completely unbalanced.
Why is he isolated and despised now? Tom, a low-class wizard of Muggle origin, can live like a duck in water in Hogwarts, and his three roommates have become followers like Crabbe Goyle, and the key is that they are smarter than his followers!
The most beautiful girl in the first year of Slytherin is always hanging out with Tom, and as the eldest son of the Malfoy family, he has only Pansy Parkinson, who is so ugly that he can't eat her (don't use the impression of the previous movies as they are too good) by his side?
Comparing the two, Malfoy realized that his enemies were not just Potter and the red-haired Weasley, there was someone in the academy who was stealing his limelight.
He is just a mudblood with no background and no pedigree.
As long as Tom is stepped down, he can intimidate others and his lost status will definitely be restored to a large extent.
Malfoy's eyes rolled as he had an idea in his mind.
"Gall, you are like this..."
