The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 117 The Second Attack

Draco's expression became extremely gloomy.

As the only son of the Malfoy family, he has never been embarrassed like this in public.

On the other side, Link, who saw Draco's expression, silently stood in front of Emily. At the same time, the wand in his hand suddenly appeared and pressed directly against Draco's chest.

"Go back."

Link said calmly, but a white light flashed on his wand.

This made Draco's face look even uglier.

However, he still took a few steps back very carefully, because he knew very well that Link was not trying to scare him, but was actually going to do something.

Upon seeing this, everyone in Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, who were still gearing up, burst into disdainful laughter.

This also made the surrounding atmosphere a little awkward.

Now Draco needs a step down.

And this step was quickly delivered.

Link saw a figure quickly running to the front of the crowd, and finally Filch's familiar voice came out.

"My cat! My cat! What's wrong with you, Mrs. Lorris!?"

Filch scratched his head and screamed hysterically. At the same time, his eyes caught a glimpse of Harry in the crowd.

"It's you! It's you who killed my cat! How could you do this! Damn it!"

Filch roared and pounced on Harry, looking at his fierce look, as if he wanted to bite Harry to death.

This startled Harry.

Fortunately, Link's wand was already in a quasi-activated state.

"Relax!"

Following Link's spell, a ball of gray-white light bullets accurately hit Filch, causing him to collapse to the ground helplessly, and the originally ferocious expression on his face collapsed in an instant.

Filch struggled weakly on the ground, and when he saw that he couldn't move at all, he turned his eyes and looked at Link, wailing and shouting:

"You are in the same group! Link Foley! You are in the same group! Ah!"

"What's going on here?"

Dumbledore's serious voice sounded from behind the crowd.

He walked quickly with a group of professors, and when he saw the students around him, they all moved out of the way.

Filch cried even harder.

Unfortunately, under the influence of 'relaxed strength', his voice was so weak that it sounded more like a cat meowing.

This made Dumbledore frown, and he glanced at Link and Harry before finally stopping on the wall not far away.

"Everyone... please disperse." Dumbledore said expressionlessly, "Harry, Link and Filch, you come with me. Also, take Mrs. Norris with you."

After saying this, Dumbledore moved his fingers slightly, and the spell that had been cast on Filch instantly became ineffective.

At the same time, Professor McGonagall, Professor Foley and other deans also began to drive the students towards the lounge.

This must have caused dissatisfaction among many students, who still wanted to continue watching the fun.

Unfortunately, facing Dumbledore with a serious face, they really couldn't say the words they wanted to leave behind.

"Link..."

Emily grabbed Link's hand with a worried look on her face.

Link smiled comfortingly, and then followed Dumbledore with Harry and Filch.

And, of course, poor Mrs. Norris.

"Come this way to my office!"

Lockhart appeared out of nowhere and said with a flattering expression.

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore nodded expressionlessly and led everyone to turn around and head to Lockhart's office.

This was the first time Link came to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.

I have to say that the layout of this office is indeed very consistent with Lockhart's temperament.

They were all the same bells and whistles, and Link even smelled a perfume in the air that was so strong it could almost make people sneeze.

Of course, Lockhart's magical portraits were also hung on the entire wall, but at this moment they did not show their iconic toothy smiles like before, but looked at everyone with curious faces.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, they killed my cat!"

As soon as he entered the office, Filch started wailing again.

He was holding Mrs. Lorris in his arms. The poor cat still maintained its original posture, its body as stiff as a stone.

Dumbledore didn't speak, but adjusted his glasses and leaned forward to poke Mrs. Norris.

"Don't worry, it was just planted with a very advanced petrification spell and is not dead." After a while, Dumbledore said slowly. As he spoke, he glanced at Link with a complicated expression, "We It can be cured. The professor recently got some mandrakes. As long as they mature, we can prepare an antidote."

"But...my cat is petrified! Someone has to be punished!"

Filch said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and said:

"you mean……"

"Harry Potter and his associates!" Filch said through gritted teeth, "And of course Link Foley!"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because...because they know I'm a squib!" Filch's tears fell again, "They must have deliberately teased me because of this!"

"I don't think Link would do such a thing. As far as I know, Link Foley has always had deep sympathy for the Squib. Just during the summer vacation not long ago, he gave Mr. Victoria a letter on behalf of the Foley family. The Squib Salvage Base donated a large sum of money.”

Snape suddenly pushed the door open and said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned for a moment.

Especially Filch, who stared dumbfoundedly at Link, who had remained silent in the corner.

His mouth moved a few times before he finally said:

"is this real?"

"Well, that's true."

Link said expressionlessly.

In order to prevent Dumbledore from invading his brain, he had activated Occlumency since he entered the office.

Because he knew very well that Dumbledore would definitely doubt him after finding out that this was the work of a basilisk.

The look Dumbledore gave him specifically before proved his suspicion.

As for the donation, that is indeed true.

However, it was a bit surprising for him to be told by Snape at this time.

After all, Snape didn't seem like the kind of guy who would plead for others.

Link's words made Filch's face turn red instantly, and he stood there speechless.

Snape sneered, turned to look at Harry and said:

"Link is indeed without suspicion, but certain people are different. Mr. Potter, could you please explain why you didn't come to the Halloween dinner?"
