Chapter 157
Chapter 157
When the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was over one afternoon, both Gryffindor and Slytherin students rushed out of the classroom door as if they were fleeing the plague.
And the source of all this was not Snape, but Joshua who was holding the dog leash.
Since adopting Xiao Hei, Joshua has found that it is very loyal to him. As long as he does not disappear suddenly, he will follow him silently wherever he goes, and when he passes by some students who have bad words about Joshua When they are next to him, they will directly open their bloody mouths and rush forward hoarsely.
In order to stop Xiao Hei from this kind of violence, Joshua tied a rope around its collar, so that when Xiao Hei pounced on a certain student, he was able to stop it in time.
But even so, Joshua and Xiao Hei, one person and one dog, are notorious in the Hogwarts castle.
The students found the professors of their colleges more than once to complain that Joshua was killing dogs in the castle.
Professor McGonagall warned Joshua many times, but there was no real punishment. After all, Xiao Hei didn't really hurt the students, at most he bit their robes or pants to pieces.
On the way to Hagrid's cabin, Joshua met Hermione and greeted her kindly.
But Hermione didn't seem to talk much to Joshua, and she responded with a book in her arms and planned to leave in a hurry, but soon she stopped in her footsteps.
"I'm really sorry, Joshua, I didn't want to treat you like this, but you know the situation." Hermione opened her mouth and was about to say something, but she couldn't.
Joshua doesn't intend to blame her, after all, the current Hermione is not the original Hermione who has a deep friendship with Harry Ron, is full of courage, enthusiasm and can break the stereotypes, and has not fully recognized that Lockhart is a liar Hermione .
And Joshua almost killed her "idol" Lockhart, and being able to say hello to Joshua already represented that Joshua still had a certain weight in her heart.
And since Justin was petrified, various rumors against Joshua began to grow in Hogwarts Castle, as if someone deliberately did it behind it, and the content was extremely outrageous.
The most exaggerated thing is that Joshua has opened the Chamber of Secrets and become the heir of Slytherin, and will kill all non-pure blood wizards in Hogwarts soon.
Outrageous rumors. First of all, Joshua is a Gryffindor. Although it is possible to become the heir of Slytherin, what is said later is to eliminate non-pure-blood wizards? He himself is a Muggle-born wizard. I kill myself?
That's exactly how fucking open the door to ridiculous - ridiculous is home.
But the key point is that many young wizards believe in this rumor. Although Dumbledore and other professors have explained them in detail, many students still regard Joshua as a human disaster.
Amidst all the public opinion and suspicion, Hermione stayed away from Joshua for the sake of her studies, which Joshua could understand.
After all, under the influence of his butterfly, Hermione paid much more attention to studies than friendship. Now that she can say such words, Joshua is quite gratified.
Rumors began to ferment in the Hogwarts castle, so that things developed to the point that several of Joshua's roommates were unwilling to let Joshua step into the dormitory, the most important ones were Seamus, Dean and Ron. Three people, they even threatened Professor McGonagall that if Joshua was allowed to live in the same dormitory with them, they would drop out of Hogwarts.
Professor McGonagall had no choice but to get a single room for Joshua after discussing with Professor Dumbledore. The room was originally the prefect's personal dormitory, but now Joshua can enjoy it ahead of time.
Moreover, the entrance stairs of the prefect's dormitory and other student dormitories are not at the same place, but on the stairs on the other side of the Gryffindor lounge.
And now Joshua was going to Hagrid's cabin, and someone asked him to meet there.
Standing in front of the gate of Hagrid's hut, Joshua stared at the Hogwarts Castle in the distance for a moment, then knocked on the door of Hagrid's hut.
After a while, the door was opened, and Hagrid was wearing big, thick gloves on his hands. It looked like he was cooking.
"Oh, Joshua, come in quickly, they're all waiting for you!" Hagrid urged Joshua to enter.
When Joshua walked into Hagrid's cabin, he saw several people who had already come here.
Harry, Neville, Fred, George and Luna.
Harry was discussing something with Neville, while the Weasley twins stared at the rock cakes on the table. Luna held a cup of tea and tasted it carefully. When she saw Joe Shuya whispered, "Joshua, you are here."
After hearing Luna's voice, the others stopped what they were doing and looked at Joshua.
Joshua looked at a few people, and he knew that the person in front of him was his "best friend", someone who would choose to trust him in a crisis.
"Joshua, you are right, we have found that Ron is very abnormal recently!" The Weasley twins were the first to rush to Joshua, but compared to the past, they did not have a hippie smile on their faces, but instead had a smile on their faces. seriousness and worry.
"Not only that, but Neville and I also found that something is wrong with Seamus and Dean. It's very strange. Their recent grades are very good, the kind that even Snape can't find fault with." Harry He became more and more anxious, because he felt that something was wrong with his friend Ron recently, especially today, he seemed to be a different person.
Ron, who had poor grades and no self-confidence, has recently become a top student who is not inferior to Hermione. He also shows confidence and personal charm, and has won the pursuit and admiration of many female students.
Seeing that everyone else had finished speaking, Luna put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Ginny is fine, as always, she is harassed by harassment, especially when she meets Harry."
Then Luna said mysteriously, "I suspect that she has had contact with Chigou."
Joshua looked around at several people, "Thank you very much for believing in me, I am really touched, and from your narrative, I think the recent situation of Hogwarts must have something to do with the three of them."
"But why is this?" Neville exclaimed, he really couldn't figure out what the three of Ron were doing for?
Joshua sighed slightly, since they all believed in him, he should also tell what they should know.
"There is a very dangerous magic item, it comes from the hands of a mysterious person, you know who the mysterious person is," Joshua continued, "I got it by chance, it has a magical power that can induce and control other people's will and spirit , which I later hid in the back of the lower drawer of the bedside table, and I think when I left, one of the three of them discovered and were influenced or manipulated together."
