The fact that Fraig had been rescued and Barsad's half-joking consolation calmed the originally fearful atmosphere.
"Huh? You can't fight in class. " Mr. Barsad raised his wand and cast a spell to separate Neville and Theodore, who were wrestling with each other.
"Why did you fight?" Mr. Barsad asked in a kind tone. He glanced at Theodore and asked calmly.
Neville wasn't as scared as he was when he saw Snape. "Mr. Barsad, Theodore deliberately coughed loudly and caused trouble when Fraig was using Phantom Transfiguration. He was the one who distracted Fraig!"
"I just couldn't stand the itch in my throat, so I couldn't help but cough!" "Longbottom, when you're sick, can you control yourself from sneezing or coughing?" Theodore asked as he pulled the wound on the corner of his mouth. "Longbottom, when you're sick, can you control yourself from sneezing or coughing?"
"You did it on purpose." Neville clenched his fists angrily, but he couldn't think of a way to refute Theodore.
Theodore was tall to begin with. Although he had done it on purpose, he didn't want to kill anyone. But now that Fraig had been treated, he straightened his back and looked self-righteous. He even deliberately let his expression reveal his true thoughts. I did it on purpose, but there's nothing you can do about it.
Neville was tongue-tied. The muscles on his face trembled in anger. His face was red, but he couldn't say anything.
"Mr. Longbottom, please calm down …" Mr. Barsad patted Neville's shoulder gently and looked at the others. "Did anyone see what happened?"
Hannah Abo muttered indignantly when she saw the situation in front of her. "Theodore Nott is so shameless. Does he think we're all fools? Did your family teach you to cough at people?"
"Are you in love with that silly boy?" Milrison Bast deliberately used his weight advantage to push Hannah Abo away with his shoulder. He stood in front of her and looked askance with disdain. "Silly girl and silly boy. They look like a couple."
Hannah's blushing face turned even redder. She shook her head violently, causing her two blonde braids to hit Milleson. "You're so muscular. You're more compatible with Theodore."
Draco Malfoy, who had gathered with the other wizards, looked at Theodore in confusion. Looking at the guy who used to be his sidekick, Draco frowned. After a moment of confusion, he seemed to think of something and looked at Barsad from the Ministry of Magic. He clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it on his left palm. "How dare he … How stupid he's stupid!" he growled.
The furious Draco Malfoy tried to pull out his wand, but Pansy, who was standing behind Draco, stepped forward and grabbed his hand.
Ignoring Draco's inquisitive gaze, Pency pointed at Barsad. "He'll take care of it. Don't be rash. Think of your parents … No, think of Allen! Don't get him into more trouble … "
Pency couldn't tell her boyfriend about his father's situation. Although the Dark Lord knew about the close relationship between Draco and Allen and wanted to use it to his advantage, if Draco's behavior was too eye-catching and The Dark Lord found out, he might change his attitude. If that happened, both Draco and Lucius wouldn't have an easy time. Pency didn't want Draco to bear the pressure she was under.
The wizards in the crowd began to discuss among themselves, and gradually, an argument broke out.
Muggle's background and the young wizards who sympathized with Muggle felt the same way and stood up to defend him. A small number of pure-blood wizards who understood Theodore's intentions also began to cause a ruckus. They believed that there was something wrong with Mr. Barsad's teaching, and that he shouldn't have tried to practice Transfiguration in the first class. It was too dangerous. Most people didn't care if Theodore did it on purpose. After all, Flag Brown had recovered, which was a common occurrence in Transfiguration classes in the past, so there was no need to waste time arguing about it. Of course, there were also wizards who thought they were smart enough to know the cause of this' accident ', but they didn't say anything. They knew that the game between the two sides had just begun, and they didn't want to take sides now.
After saving Flag's life, Hermione stood up. She didn't participate in the argument. Instead, she narrowed her eyes and stood quietly in the crowd, observing the reactions of the wizards, especially the members of her own class.
"Mr. Theodore Nott, it seems like you're not feeling well. I suggest you go back and rest first and come back after you've recovered. Otherwise, you'll cough when you're using Phantom Shift or the people you've infected will cough when you're using Phantom Shift …" Mr. Barsa still looked kind. Many wizards agreed with what he said. After witnessing Flag Brown's horrible condition, nobody wanted to be affected by Theodore Nott's uncontrollable cough when they were focused on their training.
"Uh … Yes, sir …" Theodore Nott had no reason to stay, and he was also afraid that someone would take revenge on him. He had no choice but to leave the hall resentfully.
"Splitting often happens when you're not determined enough. There's no need to be afraid of it …" Mr. Barsad demonstrated Transfiguration himself. "As long as you don't try to teleport yourself across a long distance, you won't forget or be in any danger once you learn it."
Apart from Draco and a few others who had a relatively easy time, the rest of the young wizards who had attended the training class and learned some theories in advance were few and far between. Susan Burns from Hufflepuff split her body after Fraig. Most of her body went into the wooden circle, but she left her left leg five feet away from the circle.
However, compared to previous years, Mr. Barsad was still happy that so many people succeeded in the first class. He confirmed the time of the next class with the young wizards, removed the wooden circle on the ground, and left the Hogwarts with the Aura.
Whether it was at the long table in the auditorium during lunchtime or later in the spacious hallway of Hogwarts, the splitting of Foleg Brown had become the biggest news in Hogwarts today. Susan Burns, on the other hand, did not talk about it much except to her friends. Accidental splitting of bodies in the Transfiguration class was too common, but it was rare for someone to be pranked, especially when the matter involved a pureblood and a Muggle origin.
After lunch, the young lions were on their way to the Ancient Magic classroom.
"Have you noticed that the situation over at Slythrin's side hasn't been right lately? They've always been very united, but now they seem to be divided. Moreover, Theodore is clearly doing this on purpose. He's deliberately targeting Muggle Magi." Harry's tone was full of certainty. He turned to Hermione and asked, "Hermione, do you know what happened?"
"Harry, what else could it be? Allen's speech the other day caused the vipers to split." Ron replied in a deliberately profound tone. The Weasley family had been deemed as traitors to the pureblood families, and they had experienced something similar before. It was just that the situation had not been so intense. This also allowed Ron to understand what was going on. "Some people think that the Harris family has also become traitors to the pureblood families, and want to cause some trouble for the Ministry of Magic that they control. Just watch, Harry, I dare to bet that this is just the beginning... They can't stay calm..."
After lunch, Draco Malfoy, who did not see Allen in the cafeteria, walked quickly. After asking him and going through a luxurious marble staircase, he finally found his target in the hallway — Allen Harris.
In Draco's eyes, Allen's behavior was leisurely. He looked at one portrait for a while and then went to the next one.
However, the ancient magic class was about to begin. What happened in the morning's Transfiguration class and Allen's cluelessness made Draco feel that it was better to tell Allen as soon as possible.
Thus, Draco did not even reach Allen's side before he began to explain the situation, "Allen, some purebloods have been contacting me more frequently recently. They tried to contact me, but I rejected them. Pency got the news that they might choose to cause trouble in your ancient magic class."
Then, Malfoy quickly told Allen what happened in the Transfiguration class.
"Don't worry, Draco, it won't be a big problem." Allen's hands were behind his back as he looked at Draco, whose forehead was sweating due to his anxiety. He used his hand to rub the other's forehead to make him feel fresh and tidy again. He smiled at him, "Let's go, my class is about to start. “
Seeing Allen's reaction, Draco knew that he was prepared. He nodded and followed Allen to the ancient magic class. The moment of silence made Draco think of his parents, Professor Snape, Pency, Sidekick, and even Allen. He felt that they were all acting strangely. He shook his head and muttered, "It's good that you know. Recently, I feel that the people around me are acting weird …"
Allen tilted his head and asked with concern, "How is Mr. Lucius Malfoy doing?"
"I don't know." Draco shook his head. "I haven't seen my father in a long time. He's been away for a long time. He didn't even come back for Christmas, but he still ordered a gift for me."
"He's a good father." Allen nodded and patted Draco's shoulder, "Draco, you don't have to be too supportive in front of other people. Just stay silent when people are making trouble. You only have your mother at home."
"But … Okay. Thank you, Allen." Draco was silent for a moment and nodded hesitantly. He could understand why Allen asked him to do this. Pency also reminded him during the Transfiguration class. Draco was relieved. If it was only about himself, he would be willing to support Allen no matter how scared he was. However, this time, the situation was too big. Although the Malfoy family was ancient, it would be difficult for them to protect themselves if they were too conspicuous during this period of time.
"Okay, you go to the classroom first. I'll be there later." Allen smiled at Draco and stood in front of a portrait called Misrandier. He raised his chin toward the corridor and signaled Draco to leave first.
"Allen, if you need anything, just tell me. I'll persuade my father to support you." Draco knew what he meant. He suppressed his gratitude and left first with his fists clenched.
Allen turned around and looked at the portrait of a gray-robed wizard holding a sword in his left hand and a long staff in his right hand. He touched his chin and thought about Draco's father. Lucius Malfoy went to excavate the ruins of the Hand of Vikner. However, he did not try to contact him after the assassination attempt on Hermione. Perhaps this meant that he did not know about the assassination attempt on Hermione in Hogsmeade and could still be trusted.
