Hogwarts: I Am an Exemplary Wizard

Chapter 962: Chapter 756: Punishment and Detention_3

Don’t go looking for trouble with Kael... Yeah, he just waved his wand and easily controlled himself, also using that strange magic that could turn The Blasting Curse into a raven.

It’s definitely better to stay as far away from him as possible until his plan is completed.

But that’s easier said than done. The task given to him involved dealing with Dumbledore, and another aspect was to kill Kael.

So no matter what, he couldn’t be indifferent; the stronger Kael’s prowess, the more agitated he felt.

Especially since it’s already May, if he couldn’t complete the task before the holiday, the person wouldn’t let him get away with it.

The tight pressure nearly drove Malfoy to a breakdown.

Although he had already devised a plan, he suddenly regretted it when he was about to carry it out.

Because too many people would be affected by this plan, many innocent students would be involved, he didn’t want that,

and it was precisely because of this that he was on the brink of collapse under tremendous pressure, going to the bathroom to vent, and was seen by Harry.

Malfoy grabbed his hair, once again falling into struggle.

Crabbe and Goyle originally wanted to go over, but seeing him like this, they stopped, exchanged glances, and went elsewhere.

On the other side, after Malfoy and Snape left, only Dumbledore and Harry remained in the Headmaster’s Office.

Harry stood there a bit nervously, waiting for his punishment.

However, at this moment, he felt much more relaxed than before; after all, even Malfoy wasn’t expelled, so there’s no need for him to worry.

Sure enough, his punishment was the same as Malfoy’s, both involving point deductions and detention, except he needed to go to Professor McGonagall.

Harry didn’t have any objections about the detention, as long as it’s not with Snape, he could accept it.

The only issue was the Quidditch match.

”Professor, can I change the time?” he said hesitantly, ”There’s a Quidditch match on Saturday morning next month, can I go to Professor McGonagall in the afternoon instead? Even if the time is doubled, it’s fine.”

”I would love to say yes, Harry, but I can’t.” Dumbledore shook his head, ”You must realize what you did wrong; missing an activity you like might be more meaningful than a simple detention.”

”Alright, you should go to sleep now.” Dumbledore rubbed his eyes.

”Professor, I have one more thing!” Harry suddenly said, ”Perhaps it could make up for my earlier mistake.”

”What is it?” Dumbledore asked, lifting his head.

”It’s this.” Harry took out a small glass bottle, ”I managed to get Slughorn’s memory.”

”This is truly exciting news.” Dumbledore immediately perked up, ”That’s fantastic, I knew you could do it.”

”Hermione helped me a lot.” Harry said.

”Oh? Miss Granger?”

”Yes.” Harry nodded, ”The week after the holiday, she gave me a cup of pumpkin juice at breakfast to find Slughorn.

”Everything went smoothly after that, I took a bottle of wine to Slughorn’s office, and he was very happy, drank a lot.

”Then we talked about the Love Potion incident last time, although he didn’t want to mention it, he still shared his guess. Someone wanted to use him against someone in the school, he speculated it was me.

”I told him that I needed his help, that memory.”

”So Horace gave you the memory?” Dumbledore asked.

”Yes.” Harry said with a smile, ”He gave it to me.”

”I guess you had some good luck that day.” Dumbledore said with a smile, ”You have a very good friend, and she’s very generous.”

From Harry’s words, it wasn’t hard to tell that the pumpkin juice he had in the morning wasn’t ordinary but laced with Felix Felici.

And it was precisely because of this that he could approach Slughorn when he wanted a drink, and smoothly obtain what he wanted.

However, Dumbledore didn’t pay too much attention to these details, or perhaps it wasn’t the time now.

As Harry spoke, Dumbledore already stood up, holding Slughorn’s memory, striding to the cabinet with the Pensieve.

”Now.” Dumbledore placed the Pensieve on the table, poured the memory from the bottle into it, ”We are finally going to see the truth, Harry, come quickly...”
