Chapter 119: Contradictions

"Merlin's beard - are the professors crazy?"

There were wails coming from the Slytherin common room.

Although it was already one o'clock in the morning, the common rooms of each college were still brightly lit.

A pen, a lamp, one night, and the brave warriors are about to create a miracle.

"Can you believe Professor Sprout made me shell half a greenhouse's worth of beans? Is she a Devil's Snare?"

Draco wrote furiously while shouting:

"She stood next to me and watched me peel the seeds one by one! Every time I peeled one, I added another one!"

"I feel like my arm is going to malfunction again—"

Pansy, who was forced to squeeze on the sofa, immediately made a distressed sound:

"Oh - Draco, how dare she!"

Blaise laughed and squinted at Draco as he wrote furiously:

"Rather than that, why don't you think about how to solve Professor Flitwick's paper? You've been behind on your homework for two weeks, right?"

The conversation between the two caused the little snakes to sigh.

The dark versions of the professors seem to have transformed into Dementors.

They assigned mountains of homework and papers, as well as extracurricular labor education, to everyone who had pretended to be sick and taken leave.

Their backs and waists ached and their hands cramped, and they felt as if they had been sucked by a Dementor and their bodies were hollowed out.

But no one was as miserable as Jian Yu.

Her punishment papers were all assigned individually by professors, with the reason being that the greater her ability, the more homework she received!

Theodore and Daphne resisted their sleepiness and yawned as they flipped through the book, looking for information for her.

"If the professors had assigned me these, I would have asked my parents to take me back home." Daphne looked at them and shook her head, "Why do we have to write about the principle of Apparition now? Why do we have to write about the failure of Veritaserum now? And this ghost story..."

Unfortunately, there is no option to "ask parents to pick me up" in Jian Yu's menu bar. Her guardian was very happy with this and even took advantage of the chaos to assign her two extra homework assignments on ancient magic runes.

In response to her question, "Did we agree that there would be no homework?", Dumbledore smiled and blinked:

"This isn't homework, it's just a punishment for making a mistake."

Theodore folded up the corners of the pages related to truth serum from a pile of thick potion books for Jian Yu to refer to. He was so sleepy that he could hardly speak and felt that he needed a bottle of stimulant.

"I really don't know how you guys managed to stay up until five in the morning playing games." He shook his head.

The next second, Pansy's sarcastic voice rang out in the lounge:

"Yeah, if it weren't for these cheap game consoles being spread everywhere, everyone wouldn't be punished by the professor and unable to sleep here!"

Although the words were blaming the game console, they were actually referring to Jian Yu.

Pansy already hated her deeply in her heart.

The game console occupied almost all of Draco's mind, causing him to run to her whenever he had time, or disappear -

He didn't even go to class, and when he did he just stayed next to Jian Yu!

She had ruined all my chances of being with him!

Since the start of the school year, I have had almost no chance to talk to Draco!

This is all because of Jane Yu. She must be coveting the Malfoy family, so she wanted to use this thing to hook Draco's soul away!

But Pansy never expected that she would end up making things worse.

She immediately incurred public outrage by defaming the console and one of its designers in front of a group of hardcore gamers.

Hearing this insinuation, everyone stopped writing with their quills.

The little snakes looked at her unhappily, and even Bryce, who had a good relationship with her, frowned.

"Shut up! What do you know?" Draco retorted with a frown, feeling that the game console was insulted as if he himself was insulted. "This is a great cause, a ladder for progress, and a source of joy!"

"For the greater good, I deserve to be punished by the professor! My father once said that there must be difficulties and obstacles before success!"

Pansy was stunned.

She felt like Draco was cursed.

"Draco, what are you talking about?" she screamed. "You've been shelling half a greenhouse of beans, writing eight or nine papers, and staying up all night for a week!"

Draco's face flushed red, and he slapped the sofa angrily:

"I told you, this is only a temporary difficulty! You're not the one shelling the beans, and you're not the one writing the paper!"

"You don't like games, and the professors didn't punish you, so why are you staying here and disturbing us from doing our homework?"

If it weren't for the friendship they had grown up with, he would have cursed if someone slandered his favorite thing!

Even Theodore, who was very frugal with words, commented coldly:

"I think it's basic etiquette to be respectful of other people's preferences. You wouldn't have the guts to denigrate Quidditch next to Captain Flint."

Although he wasn't as into games as Draco, he immediately picked up on the curse words.

This drama made Jian Yu unable to help but start eating Bibi Multi-Flavor Beans.

Peanuts, melon seeds, eight-treasure porridge, beer, drinks and mineral water!

Present them all!

What a fresh bite of cantaloupe!

Pansy felt as if her face was being rubbed hard on the ground. She immediately turned her unwillingness and anger to Jian Yu, who was chewing Bibi Multi-Flavored Beans. She stared at her with eyes that had turned red from staying up late, and said without thinking:

"What curse did you place on Draco?"

Jane·Eating Melon Version·Jade looked confused.

What does this have to do with her?

You were eating a melon and accidentally ate it yourself?

Pansy was still cursing. Perhaps it was because of staying up late and her resentment towards Jian Yu that she could no longer control her bad temper. Her words became more and more filthy:

"You vicious piece of mud—"

Her voice stopped abruptly.

Because Daphne screamed angrily "How dare you!" and pounced on her. She grabbed Pansy's hair and started tearing it. Pansy was not to be outdone and grabbed Daphne's blonde hair and scratched her face with her nails.

Both parties began to roll on the ground. Daphne slapped her in the face. Pansy screamed "You bitch" and bit her hand. The two fought and cursed each other, using vicious words one after another.

They seemed to have forgotten that they were wizards who could wield magic wands, and started to engage in close combat 1v1.

Chairs were kicked over, tables fell over, ink, parchment and quills were scattered all over the floor, and the common room was in chaos.

"Everyone is petrified!"

Jian Yu imprisoned Pansy in place. Her petrified expression was distorted, revealing extreme disgust and hatred. Her face was covered with scratches from nails, her nose was bleeding, her eye sockets were black and blue, and she stared at her with her red eyes.

The others also pulled Daphne away.

She was also injured, with a bruised face and nose, but she looked extremely proud, as if she was quite proud of herself.

Having let out a sigh of relief, Daphne was full of energy and even felt like she could beat ten more!

"I won!" She raised her hands and cheered towards Jian Yu, her eyes sparkling, "I didn't let you down!"

Prefect Gemma rushed out, almost stumbling over her right foot.

"Fighting in the common room? Parkinson, Greengrass?" She said seriously, "Perhaps you would like Professor Snape to find out so that our scores can become negative?"

"Parkinson called Jade that word!" Daphne complained, "She always does that behind her back!"

When Gemma heard Jane being scolded, her face turned darker than Snape's robes.

"Perhaps I should inform Professor Snape so that he can write to your parents and tell them to wash their mouths, Parkinson." She suppressed her anger. "I can't believe that such uneducated behavior would appear in our Slytherin family."

After being freed from petrification, Pansy turned completely pale and begged for mercy.

"Slytherin's score has been reset to zero." Gemma warned her, "I don't want to see any bullying of classmates happen here. If you can't learn to get along with others peacefully, Slytherin's nine consecutive championships this school year will end here."

"You probably don't want to experience the consequences of this, Parkinson."

The farce finally came to an end under Gemma's sanctions.

But Pansy did not give up.

She stood in the common room, gritting her teeth and smiling maliciously.

"She can't stay here!"

She decided to complain to Mr. Greengrass and tell him that his daughter Daphne was fighting and bullying her at school.

Let's give Daphne a lesson from her parents.

At the same time she planned to write another letter to Mr. Malfoy.

Tell him that Draco is addicted to a video game console made by a Muggle witch at school and is neglecting his studies.

Use this as an eye drop, use Lucius to put pressure on Dumbledore, and expel Jian Yu from school!
