The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 426: The Bottom Line and Conscience of Being a Man

Under the gaze of John's tearing eyes, a Slytherin boy with a slightly ferocious face came out more and more, and stood behind George and Fred first.

This is a fourth-grade student that John knows. He works the hardest on weekdays and is diligent and studious. He often gathers around his workbench to ask for advice after get off work to prepare for next year's exam.

The other party is also a miserable person, belonging to the lowest existence in Slytherin House, that is, the kind of student who has no blood but is poor.

It's just that he didn't expect to stand directly with George and Fred at this moment for a little money.

And with his leadership, the people who were still a little hesitant finally couldn't bear it anymore.

One, two, three...

More and more people began to move closer to George and Fred, and eventually they joined together, blocking the door tightly.

Of course, not everyone is so shameless.

One of the third-year Hufflepuffs in the crowd sneaked out the door while all attention was on John.

George and Fred were unaware of this, their faces were filled with pride, they winked at John provocatively and said:

"John, have you seen that everyone disapproves of your approach. It's like an oriental proverb Link once said, called... what is it called?"

George looked at Fred with a thoughtful face, and the latter quickly added:

"Those who have gained the Tao will be helped a lot, but those who have lost the way will be given little help!"

"Yes! That's it!" George slapped his thigh violently, "Now we are just, John, do you have anything else to say?"

At this moment, John's face was no longer as angry as before, but his eyes were very cold, sweeping back and forth on George and the others, as if he wanted to engrave all the faces of these people in his mind.

He really didn't expect that colleagues who usually work together and curse George and Fred, the two red-haired misers, would abandon their conscience so straightforwardly when they were actually facing interest disputes.

But it's normal when you think about it.

As he knew before, all George and Fred needed were weak and obedient wage earners, and there was no real toughness here.

Even himself,

The humble behavior of the early job search did not seem like a person of integrity at all.

But John thought he was better than these people in front of him.

Because he has one more thing than these people, and that is the bottom line.

Not far away, George and Fred were still waiting for John's answer.

They seemed to enjoy the feeling of bullying at the moment, so they didn't press John to answer as soon as possible.

But John, who stood on the opposite side of them, had already made a decision at this time.

"Oh!~"

I saw John sighed a long time, his shoulders slumped slightly, his muscles relaxed, as if he had given up persistence.

But just when everyone thought he decided to obey, so they relaxed their vigilance, they saw his right hand swung suddenly, and a handful of dark brown bullets were thrown out.

bang bang bang—

The projectiles exploded one after another when they touched the ground, and a large plume of oily green with a bit of brown stench rose into the sky!

"Damn it! Big dung bomb! Use a whirlwind to clean it up, cough cough——"

George recognized the identities of these projectiles at a glance and roared angrily.

It's a pity that since the student workers behind him can abandon their morality and stand on their side, it is impossible for them to have a high fighting will.

Now being suffocated by the foul-smelling smoke, all of them burst into tears and coughed again and again, not to mention opening their mouths and casting spells to fight back. At this moment, they ignored George and Fred and just rushed away.

Naturally, George and Fred didn't count on these people. While speaking, they had already suppressed the desire to cough and pulled out their wands to prepare to do it themselves.

It's a pity that John didn't give them this chance.

"Disarm you!"

"All petrified!"

Two curses, one red and one gray, plunged into the turbid smoke and hit the target directly, knocking away the magic wand that George had just pulled out, and even petrified Fred on the spot.

And John, who had done all this, put a wet cloth on the mouth and nose of himself and the little Hufflepuff boy in his arms, and rushed out of the classroom directly through the smoke.

At this time, the students who escaped outside the classroom were already preparing boards or something to seal the classroom.

They are very proficient at this job, because they just helped seal a classroom that was polluted by dung bombs a few days ago.

The only difference between the two classrooms is that the stench in the classroom a few days ago was dark green, and the smell was even more terrifying.

As for the fact that George, Fred, and John are still inside, they don't care about it. If they want to inhale some stench, they can't kill people, so they just want to teach these bad guys a lesson.

Yes, in the eyes of these people, John seems to have become a bad person.

Even equated with George and Fred.

Seeing that the bad guy John rushed out of the classroom with the little boy in his arms, everyone who had just brought the boards and other materials was startled, and all backed away.

But this was just an instinctive reaction at the first moment. After they realized that John was just a person with a wounded man in his arms, and his movement was inconvenient, what George and Fred said just now was in their minds again. It rang—if George sent him to the infirmary, the workshop would definitely be closed down by the professors, and the big guys would lose their income.

The crowd slowly gathered again and stood in front of John.

John has long lost his goodwill and hope for these former contemporaries, and asked with a sneer when he saw this:

"The two red-haired ghosts, George and Fred, have fallen, and you are still obsessed with it?"

Everyone's face darkened when they heard the words.

But soon a few older students came out from the crowd and advised:

"John, we have already invited a classmate who can heal. This little boy will not be in danger. Why do you want to destroy all of our jobs?"

"Yes, John, you pity this elementary school boy. Who will pity us? You are also a poor person, and you should be very clear that without this income, our current studies cannot be maintained at all! And that's it, Lin The situation after Mr. C. Foley's capital injection. Before he became the school director, how could poor and talented guys like us have any chance to learn alchemy and potions!"

"Yes, John, listen to us..."

"Shut up!" John directly interrupted everyone's persuasion and roared, "Being a human being must have a bottom line and a conscience. Since you don't want to be human anymore, then don't blame me for being rude!"

John raised his wand again upon hearing this.

This startled everyone.

But this time, the crowd did not disperse, but continued to block the corridor unswervingly.

A trace of bitterness flashed in John's eyes upon seeing this.

Just now he was completely bluffing, trying to bluff the group of people in front of him.

Since he failed to bluff him now, he might be in a bad mood today, and it would be very difficult for him to escape from here with the little boy in his arms.

After all, two fists are no match for four hands.

As for the dung bomb.

This is a good prop to break through.

It's a pity that the ones he just threw out are already all of his inventory.

Those are substandard products that he picks up in the dung bomb workshop every day, and it is difficult to have any scale in terms of quantity.

"call!"

John took a few deep breaths, and the bitterness in his eyes disappeared, replaced by firmness.

As he just said, to be a human being is to have a conscience and a bottom line.

Although the hope is slim right now, he is still willing to give it a try!

It's good to have a clear heart!

Thinking of this, a red light rippled from the tip of John's staff.

On the other side of him, everyone finally gave up their illusions when they saw this, and pulled out their wands in a mess.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side of the main body of Hogwarts Castle, Link and Cedric were strolling down the corridors.

This corridor was of a similar nature to that occupied by brothers George and Fred.

There are abandoned classrooms on both sides, and the traffic is not very convenient.

But the difference is that the corridor where Link and Cedric are now looks much busier than the corridor where George and Fred are.

Beside Link and Cedric, a large number of house elves in Hogwarts uniforms were cleaning the place deftly, and at the same time, some furniture and large equipment were magically installed into the classrooms on both sides.

Link and Cedric just walked among the busyness. After a long time, the latter frowned and said:

"Link, I'm really optimistic about your student work project, but you are starting to start the layout now, and the labor you use is all Hogwarts house elves, isn't that a bit..."

Cedric didn't continue talking, but Link fully understood the meaning of the other party, sighed and said:

"I know it's against Hufflepuff rules to do things with house-elves, but it can't be helped, time is running out."

Cedric frowned slightly.

A few days earlier, he had actually learned the whole story from Link, so he was very clear about the significance of the existence of this student part-time job project, and he also very much agreed with it.

The only thing he couldn't understand was why Link was in such a hurry?

You know it's only been a week since school started!

"Let's not talk about that," Link shook his head and said, "Cedric, what happened to the thing I asked you to do?"

Hearing this, Cedric nodded and finally had a smile on his face:

"It's done. Both Professor Sprout and Professor Flitwick are in favor of it. They feel that this project will not only allow more students to study more advanced subjects with money, but also exercise students' practical life skills. , so that they can better adapt to life after graduation.”

Cedric turned his head to look at Link, "But it's useless for the two of them to nod. If Principal Dumbledore and the other two deans disagree, everything will be useless."

Link answered:

"Of course I know this. You don't have to worry about Snape. You know the relationship between me and him. He must agree with me. As for Dumbledore, hehe, he's been tricked by the Dark Lord and the Ministry of Magic now." He can't take care of himself. In order to maintain stability in the rear, even if he doesn't express his support, he won't directly deny this project, it's a tacit approval."

"What about Professor McGonagall?" Cedric said, "The old professor who is too stubborn to listen to any advice is the key. How do you plan to deal with her?"

Link raised his eyebrows and smiled:

"How do you get it done? Of course, it's about knowing it with emotion and moving it with reason."

Cedric's face was not very good-looking, and he felt that Link was completely joking with him.

But before he could speak again, a reckless figure rushed in front of them.

"Lin...Link! There's an accident over there at the black workshop! John was given by George and Fred..."

The visitor spoke breathlessly, although the introductory words were inconsistent, but the smile on Link's face became brighter and brighter.

Link reached out his hand to stop the person who wanted to continue talking, and turned to Cedric and said:

"Look, isn't it time to convince Professor McGonagall? Let's get over it. As for you,"

Link looked at the messenger again and said, "I'll trouble you to make another trip and inform Professor McGonagall."

As soon as this remark came out, the messenger's face immediately turned bitter.

But this bitter look was replaced by joy instantly after Link threw out two golden Galleons.

...

Ten minutes later, Link and Cedric successfully arrived at George and Fred's black workshop.

At this moment, the corridor was in a mess.

There were students yelling "Ouch, ouch" lying everywhere, and more students still gathered together and surrounded John.

Seeing this, Cedric was in a hurry and opened his mouth to call everyone to stop.

But Link stopped him.

Link is very clear that the current situation is obviously a real fire from both sides.

These students may not even stop talking to the professor when they are emotional, let alone their so-called prefects and student council presidents.

That being the case, instead of yelling out words and no one will listen, it will be embarrassing in the end.

It's better to use ruthless means directly.

Hum——

A huge amount of magical power gushed out, and the force field formed by the force of the curse slammed down, directly pressing everyone in front, including John, to the ground.

Everyone was a little panicked by this sudden blow, and they all started to struggle.

But when they saw that it was Link who was walking slowly not far away, everyone froze in place.

"Link, listen to me, we didn't want to do anything to John, he did it to us first!"

An older student in the corner spoke loudly.

He was really a little scared.

Who doesn't know that John is Link's roommate?

Although everyone is more inclined to the statement of George and Fred, I believe that the relationship between the two of them is not too close.

But when the real thing is imminent, who can not panic?

Link walked forward as if he didn't hear the explanation of these people at all.

He didn't stop until he reached John in the middle of the crowd.

At this moment, John seemed to be doing just fine.

There were basically no real bleeding wounds on his body, only a few bruises on his face and arms.

It seems that even in the rage, the group of people maintained the minimum restraint, knowing that if John was seriously injured, the nature of this matter would change.

After checking John's injuries and confirming that there was nothing serious, Link was relieved.

At this time, John finally recognized Link.

He pushed against the gravity field, turned over and revealed the little boy hidden under him and said:

"Link, take him to the infirmary quickly, he will be disfigured if he goes late!"
