Chapter 41 Repeatedly Ignoring School Rules
Percy regretted it. Why did he come here for no reason?
Just look at the looks of Harry and Ron and you will know that they are closely related to this matter.
He wanted to give them a symbolic warning and then let them go. After all, it would be hard to say that the prefect of Gryffindor deducted Gryffindor's points.
And it was even more difficult for one of them to be his brother and the other a star of their Gryffindor.
But now there is a Slytherin here. Will they agree to bend the law for personal gain?
"Ahem! Percy put on a selfless look and asked, "Tell me the truth, did you two do this?"
"Percy, no, prefect, I don't know anything at all." Ron said anxiously, feeling wronged.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Harry in amazement, because if it wasn't him, then it could only be Harry.
Sure enough, Harry nodded next, "It's not Ron's business, I did it. "
"Harry, you disappoint me so much.
I haven't been to the restricted area many times, you are knowingly breaking the law." Percy pointed at Harry with great anguish. If he was doing business, leaving the dormitory in the middle of the night and entering the restricted area to read the banned books without permission, these two things together, they Gryffindor would have deducted at least 30 points, and Harry would have to be locked up for a period of time, at least not before the end of the holiday.
Aaron stopped the angry Percy and said gently: "Actually, this matter is not small, but it is not big either.
But in my opinion, there is no need to be so serious. It is common for us freshmen to lose our curiosity.
Now is the holiday period, and Christmas just passed yesterday. Senior, please don't pursue it, just give me face.
And... I think Harry knows he is wrong now. "
"You..."
Percy hesitated to speak, of course he saw what Aaron meant, that he wanted to forgive Harry once.
Although he didn't quite understand, he had no reason to refuse.
"Okay! But necessary punishment is still necessary, otherwise he won't learn his lesson. "Percy said very seriously.
"Then let Harry copy the school rules during the holidays, the kind with outlines and details." Aaron suggested, "Let Ron supervise it personally!"
Harry didn't say anything, just nodded weakly.
There's no way, who made him violate the school rules!
If he hadn't been caught, everything would be fine, but since he was caught, he could only admit defeat.
Ron complained a little, "The school rules are not ordinary thick, Harry can't copy them all during the holidays."
"That's your business." Aaron shrugged indifferently.
"Okay, that's it.
I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Percy said, then quickly stood up and walked towards the door of the lounge, not wanting to stay here any longer.
After Percy left, Ron pouted, "Copying a copy of the school rules is too much! "
Aaron couldn't deny it, "But compared to being deducted points for Gryffindor, I think Harry still prefers copying school rules.
I told Percy to leave before, but you two were quite stubborn, what can I do?"
"We didn't know you came here with evidence!
Besides, it was Percy who insisted on attending..."
Harry immediately covered Ron's mouth, "Don't say anything, I am willing to be punished.
Compared with the punishment in the school rules, this is already very light."
"It's good to know.
But don't be pessimistic, I told Ron to supervise.
How to copy is up to you, right?
Even if you don't write a word, who will know? "
Harry and Ron looked at each other, and the sadness on their faces disappeared instantly. They both showed a meaningful smile, just like the appearance of a poor student who successfully cheated.
That's right! The punishment was decided, but how to implement it was decided by them.
With their relationship, this punishment seemed to be no different from no punishment.
"Ahem!" Aaron sat on the sofa and crossed his legs. "I really didn't expect Harry to be so brave. You really should copy a copy of the school rules.
I warned you that it's not a place you can go.
Do you know what punishment you will face if you are caught by Filch?
The points Hermione gave you Gryffindor for most of the semester are not enough for you to lose for this violation. "
"Sorry!" Harry lowered his head in shame. He didn't regret taking the risk to go to the restricted area yesterday. He just regretted that he didn't do things so rigorously.
"Don't say sorry to me. I'm from Slytherin. Whether Gryffindor loses points or not has nothing to do with me.
I just don't want to see her lose her temper after she comes back from vacation." Aaron's eyes exuded a sharp look, which made Harry and Ron feel a little pressure.
"Then is it time to explain the restricted area?
Harry, what happened to you? You can actually drop a lantern on the ground. "
"The books there...are a little different." Harry stammered, and the unpleasant memories of last night emerged in his mind.
Everything was going well, and he wandered in the restricted area looking for clues related to Nicolas Flamel.
But after opening a book, a hideous and terrifying face suddenly appeared in the book, and the words in the book kept moving on the face, which looked particularly weird.
Especially this face even made a shrill cry, as if it was about to rush out of the book.
Late at night, an eleven-year-old child encountered such a creepy thing, it would be a lie to say that he was not scared.
"It must be different! Otherwise, why can it be called a banned book!" Aaron rolled his eyes and was a little speechless.
"Not only that, I also met Mrs. Norris and Filch.
I was almost caught."
"Tsk! Then you are really lucky.
But I am curious how you broke into the restricted area in the middle of the night. Although Madam Pince's management was a little less during the holidays, you can't get in so easily!"
Harry's heart skipped a beat, but after hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell Aaron about the invisibility cloak.
He also knew that showing off his cleverness in front of a smart person would only bring shame to himself.
And Aaron just treated him as a friend, so it's not a problem to tell him.
But before he could speak, Ron said it for him, "It should be the invisibility cloak! It's a relic of Harry's father."
"Invisibility cloak?" Aaron became interested. The rarity of that thing was no less than his magic carpet.
"That is a very rare magic item, but don't use it unless necessary.
In the eyes of some great wizards, this magical item is useless."
"Oh!" Harry suddenly realized, "No wonder I was almost discovered by Snape yesterday?"
"Snape (Professor)!" ×2.
Aaron and Ron were both a little surprised. They knew that Harry went to the restricted area to look for information about Nicolas Flamel, but there was no need for Snape to go there at night!
"Harry, what happened last night?" Aaron asked seriously.
"I saw Professor Snape seemed to be bullying Professor Quirrell, and said something like 'I'm not your enemy, you'd better figure out who you are loyal to'.
I don't know what it means, but I'm sure Snape definitely has a secret that he can't tell."
As Harry said, he paid attention to Aaron's expression. He thought Snape was not a good person and wanted to steal what Momo was guarding.
Now it was just a precaution for Aaron. No matter how much he respected Snape, he should be a little wary after hearing this.
Sure enough, Aaron's face began to change, and Harry felt relieved.
But what he didn't know was that Aaron didn't doubt Snape, but was wondering if he knew that Quirrell had Voldemort's soul in him.
If he didn't know, it wouldn't matter. At most, he would have discovered some of Quirrell's small movements and warned him.
But if he knew, it would mean that Voldemort had fallen into the trap from the beginning, and the danger of his subsequent system tasks would be greatly reduced.
In either case, it would be beneficial to him.
"Harry, this matter is known to heaven and earth, you know it, we know it, and we must not let others know.
Also, be obedient recently and don't make any more mistakes, understand?"
"I understand, I also know the seriousness of the matter." Harry said, "By the way, I found a magical mirror on the first floor when I left.
I actually saw my parents in the mirror."
"What?" Ron was surprised, "Why didn't you tell me such important information earlier? You really should have taken me there last night."
"There will be a chance." Harry said, "You can go with me tonight.
Aaron, do you want to come? I can introduce my parents to you.
Maybe I can also see what your family looks like."
Aaron:......
So what I said just now was in vain. One violation of school rules is fine, but now they want to add Ron and drag me into the water again.
Isn't this operation a bit abnormal?
