Chapter 348
Halloween is a festival with a special "mildew" power, which can almost compete with the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
It may not be like Defense Against the Dark Arts, which steadily consumes a teacher every year, but it can always come up with some new tricks that are eye-catching.
The troll in the previous year, the chamber of secrets last year, and Peter's invasion this year...it's getting more outrageous every year.
Anyway, the students slept ignorantly in the dormitory, so they were called out from under the covers, saying that they were going to sleep in the auditorium tonight, and everyone went to the auditorium again, only to lie on the hard floor without warming the sleeping bags...
Snape is at it again!
He waved his hand and said:
"Go back to the dormitory and sleep!"
After a brief silence in the auditorium, there was an instant burst of noise like sea waves. Even in the presence of Snape, the little wizards couldn't help cursing.
Your sister...you don't sleep at night, just teasing everyone! !
The corner of Snape's mouth twitched. He was just wondering why Dumbledore didn't let Professor McGonagall announce the news, but asked him to come by name.
Yes... Snape admitted that for a moment in his mind he thought that Professor McGonagall had fallen out of favor and that he was going to be the Vice-Headmaster.
But the swearing sound also made Snape instantly sober.
Let Professor McGonagall do all the good things, and let him do all the dirty work, right... Dumbledore? !
Of course, Snape was not in a good temper either, he couldn't let the students scold him.
Although in the darkness, Snape couldn't see who was scolding him, but it didn't prevent him from dragging his voice and saying:
"Potter insulted the professor...20 points from Gryffindor!"
"..."
Harry was in a daze, he just crawled out of the sleeping bag, he didn't know what happened, so he suffered a disaster out of nowhere.
Harry couldn't help cursing out loud, so Snape deducted another twenty points.
After Snape deducted points from Harry, he immediately felt refreshed, but he also felt that it would be difficult to explain without giving everyone an explanation, so he said succinctly:
"Peter is dead...killed by Scamander!"
As soon as these words came out, the auditorium, which was full of abuse before, suddenly returned to dead silence, but in an instant, it returned to the noise, as if it had exploded.
However, no one scolded Snape anymore, it was all about Peter and Rove.
There is only one Scamander at Hogwarts. Everyone knows that Snape is talking about Rove. Everyone is in the auditorium, frantically looking for him.
However, no one saw where he went.
The auditorium was so noisy that Snape had to draw out his wand, pointed to his throat and said, "Loud!"
Then, like thunder, his voice resounded throughout the auditorium.
"Okay, the prefects immediately take the students back to their respective lounges!"
Seeing that everyone was still looking for someone, Snape took the opportunity to deduct 50 points from each of Badger, Eagle and Lion, except Slytherin.
The students just got up from their sleeping bags and walked towards their respective lounges.
The most active ones are the little badgers. They all want to go back to the Hufflepuff lounge and go to the Rove dormitory to find out!
Anyway, he can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple!
There were also many students from other colleges who tried to sneak into Hufflepuff's team, but Cedric picked them out one by one.
But the little badgers are also destined to be disappointed. Rove is not in the dormitory at all, he is still in the principal's office, communicating with Dumbledore in depth.
Of course, Rove didn't go back to the dormitory in the end, but slept comfortably in his own box all night, and only got up the next morning to go to the auditorium.
When he stepped into the auditorium, the auditorium fell silent instantly, and all the students who were eating looked up at the young man.
Rove narrowed his eyes, walked towards the Hufflepuff table with his usual expression, and sat down beside Neville.
Waving a copy of "Daily Prophet" in her hand, Hannah said excitedly:
"Rove, you're in the papers again... Minister Fudge says you killed Peter Pettigrew."
Rove poured himself a glass of milk, he gave a light oh, nodded and said, "That's what happened."
Although the boy's voice was not loud, everyone could hear it in the quiet auditorium.
"Didn't you stay with us in the auditorium last night?" Susan asked curiously.
This is what everyone wants to know. After all, the "Daily Prophet" did not mention much about how Rove killed Peter.
Rove took a big sip of milk, then put down the glass, and said with a smile:
"I went out to the bathroom last night. Peter happened to be squatting on the toilet in the next cubicle. He forgot to bring the paper and wanted to ask me for it, but I found out."
"..."
Everyone obviously didn't believe this outrageous statement, and they all started discussing it buzzingly.
Rove also glanced at the newspaper. There was a photo of Peter on it, and a big headline below it.
Pettigrew Peter escaped from prison? !
Rolf Scamander: Never mind, I'll do it!
The Ministry of Magic announced last night that escaped Death Eater Peter Pettigrew haunted Hogwarts in July before being killed by Rolf Scamander.
Minister Cornelius Fudge confirmed this in an interview in his office, claiming:
"Thanks for Rove's help, of course, the Ministry of Magic has also contributed a lot here.
Although we have captured Peter, the criminal who robbed him is still on the run. The Ministry of Magic will continue to spare no effort in pursuing him and ask the public to remain vigilant..."
There wasn't much news in the papers, especially the details of Peter's killing, which all the students wanted to know.
Wherever Rove went, students came to harass him, so he had no choice but to hide in his box.
After returning to the box, Rove walked along the road to a bamboo forest.
Xue Li was feeding the Bowtruckle in the bamboo forest. She saw the boy carrying a bag and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"The Ministry of Magic offered Peter a reward of 10,000 Galleons." Rove shook the bag and said with a smile:
"We split the money... Me, you and Hermione, each got 3333 Galleons, and the extra Galleon was snuffed out, and it got under the Whomping Willow and pressed the knots."
"I'll forget it." Shirley whispered, "You killed Peter, and Hermione provided the time-turner, but I didn't do much. It's not appropriate to take these Galleons."
Rove flicked his finger on her smooth forehead, and joked: "Who said you didn't contribute? Carrying the corpse is not considered an effort?"
"It doesn't count," Shirley insisted.
Rove pretended to be threatening and said, "Do you still dare to talk back? Are you afraid that I will fire you?"
Xue Li smiled softly: "Don't be afraid, you will definitely not find a better assistant than me."
"Since you're so good, I'll give you this year's bonus." Rove deliberately put on a straight face, and said, "Don't refuse any more!"
"Okay...but I have no place to put so many Galleons." Shirley blinked her eyes, and said slyly, "Let's just store them with you temporarily."
"What about the salary you saved in the past two years?" Rove asked.
The girl with ponytail tilted her head slightly, stared at Luo Fu, raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you asking this?"
"You can also put it here with me." Rove grinned and said, "I'll keep it for you."
"Yes." Shirley pursed her lips and smiled, "But I have enough Galleons, so you are not allowed to take them secretly."
Rove reached out to hold the girl's ponytail, rubbed it lightly, and said with a smile:
"There's no guarantee... sooner or later I'll steal all of your Galleons from you!"
