Chapter 26 Victims
After the party ended successfully, Lumi felt a different atmosphere the next day.
"Hey! Lumi."
"Good morning."
"Thank you, yesterday's cake was delicious."
There are many greetings like this.
The first grader Colin even took a special photo.
Facing the enthusiasm of his classmates, Lumi would not deliberately be cold-faced and say something chilling.
Isn't this what he and Sprout wanted to achieve with the party?
Lumi responded to them one by one.
There were just too many people, so breakfast time was about to end as soon as Lumi sat down on the table.
Lumi could only take a piece of bread and eat it while going to the classroom.
Fortunately, this morning's class was History of Magic, so Lumi would be fine even if he was a little slow.
In Professor Binns' class, the little badgers seemed to have been collectively under a sleeping spell. I really don't know how they got so much sleep.
Lumi, who was accustomed to being vigilant, would not let himself fall asleep when there were strangers around him. Moreover, Lumi was more interested in the History of Magic course, so he became the only kid in Hufflepuff who was still awake. badger.
The eaglets in the same class have long been used to Lumi's abnormality, so are they surprised by this?
Until the end of get out of class, the little badgers who were full of sleep began to rush to the auditorium to prepare for the meal.
It was the same at noon and night, I don’t know how they managed to find a place to sleep during flying lessons!
I'm really not afraid of being discovered.
Lumi muttered something in his mind, and then joined them on the nap lawn.
After sleeping enough, it’s time to eat.
get out of class just happened to be over, and the little badgers were really good at managing their time.
Lumi was pulled by the three Harveys and ran to the auditorium.
"Have you heard? Professor Spike is going to restart the Duel Club."
A well-informed little badger came to Lumi and announced the fresh news in a lowered voice.
Of course, he didn't forget to take away two chicken legs from the table.
It's as if his goal is chicken legs and the news is just an excuse.
Lumi looked at this classmate amusedly.
He found that Hufflepuff was really curious among the four houses.
When it comes to learning magic, their attitude is always lukewarm, as if they don't really care about whether they can learn anything.
As for Academy Cup glory? From top to bottom, they don't seem to care very much. They will be happy if they get points added, and sad if they get points deducted, but they will forget about it when they turn around.
Even Quidditch wasn't overly enthusiastic.
The only two things that seemed to interest them were eating and sleeping.
In their company, Lumi's vigilance gradually decreased a lot.
In Lumi's heart, the vigilance level of these cute little badgers has dropped to 30%, and they belong to the ranks of the family.
"Duel Club?"
Strange name.
"It's wizard versus wizard."
The little badger named Cloe Skibber finished the chicken leg in his hand and reached for the third one.
"Professor Flitwick is said to have been a dueling champion. I guess the Defense Against the Dark Arts class will be interesting in the future."
As he spoke, he was eating the chicken leg. His mouth was a little slurred, but he could still hear clearly what he said.
"Duel."
Lumi glanced at the professor's desk.
Feeling his gaze, Professor Flitwick raised his glass and clinked glasses with him from afar.
[I’m looking forward to it a bit. 】
"However, it is said that the approval process is very slow, and it may take half a month."
Crowe finished the plate of chicken legs and then returned to his seat without interest.
"you..."
Looking at the plate with only bones left in front of him, Lumi glanced at Crowe with disgust.
After eating, Lumi planned to go to the library before going to bed.
I just woke up, and I don't feel sleepy at all at this time.
"Did you hear that?"
"What did you hear?"
I heard a familiar voice halfway.
Lumi's face froze, and his instinct made him reluctant to go that way.
A feeling of trouble.
But unfortunately, the owner of the voice has already discovered him.
"Lumi?"
Harry looked at Lumi who was leaning against the wall and looked at him doubtfully.
"Did you hear anything?"
"Unfortunately, I didn't hear anything."
Lumi forced herself to smile.
He didn't want to disappoint Professor Sprout for his own reasons.
"Shh, it's still there."
Harry looked a little nervous, and Lumi didn't want to have more contact with him.
I wanted to leave quietly, so I chose a random path and walked in.
"Merlin's flowery pants!"
Lumi's pupils suddenly contracted as he looked at the scene in front of him.
The three Harrys were also attracted and saw the blood writing on the wall.
"The secret chamber has been opened. Enemies of the heir, beware."
Hermione read the words on the wall, then looked at the stiff cat beside her.
"It's Filch's cat, Mrs. Norris."
Harry slowly revealed the cat's identity.
At this moment, students from the fourth house poured out from everywhere.
As if it was deliberately arranged, the road between Lumi and the four of them was blocked.
"Lumi?"
Draco looked at Lumi, who was standing with Harry, with a very ugly look on his face.
"Just a coincidence."
Lumi shrugged.
The bloody words he suddenly saw just now made Lumi's vigilance instantly go up, but now that there are so many people here, he has calmed down.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Filch squeezed out from the crowd. He naturally saw his cat, and his expression changed instantly.
"Mrs. Norris?"
He didn't seem to notice that his voice was trembling at this time.
"It's you! It's you who killed my cat!"
Filch looked at Harry angrily. If Dumbledore hadn't arrived in time with the professors, Filch would never have been stingy with his fist falling on Harry's face.
"Everyone go back to the dormitories."
"Except you four."
Hearing this, Lumi was in a very bad mood.
[I was just passing by, why did you involve me? 】
Lumi's emotions took perfect control of his face.
Even Ron could see his dissatisfaction.
"It's petrified."
Snape could tell the cat's state at a glance.
"That's what they did!"
Filch, the cat slave, was very excited.
He pointed at Lumi and said loudly: "I saw it that night. He and a Ravenclaw took my cat to the sky!"
"It's definitely him this time! Because Mrs. Norris interrupted his date!"
As soon as he said this, all the professors' eyes fell on Lumi.
Among them, Flitwick and Sprout had the hottest eyes.
"If it were me, your cat wouldn't have just been petrified."
Being accused, Lumi naturally couldn't bear it any longer. He looked directly into Filch's eyes and spoke very slowly: "I can make your cat be pressed on the floor and become a carpet in this castle! If you insist Think I did it, then I look forward to the time when you put your foot on it.”
"That must be very interesting."
"That's enough! Lumi!"
Dumbledore stopped Lumi's next words and looked at Filch, who was trembling with rage.
"We'll save it. Mandrake is effective at treating it, Pomona?"
"Yes, it will take some time for the mandrake to mature. We can send it to the hospital wing."
