Chapter 237 Drunk Harry

Because he hadn't seen Cedric for a long time, and Cedric was too enthusiastic, Mike finally compromised and agreed to have a couple of drinks with Cedric.

But Cedric seemed to be afraid that Mike would sneak away halfway, and he hugged Mike tightly all the way. Finally, after Mike repeatedly said that he would never run away, he reluctantly let go of his hand on Mike's shoulder.

The two walked together in the direction of Hufflepuff.

Of course, their destination was not the Hufflepuff common room, but the Hogwarts kitchen.

Compared with the Hufflepuff common room, the kitchen is obviously a more suitable place for drinking. The house elves in it not only cook delicious food and provide thoughtful service, but also speak nicely.

Cedric said that he liked staying there very much.

It is worth mentioning that the two met Harry halfway.

Just from his gloomy expression, it can be seen that Harry is in a very bad mood now. If it were the old Cedric, he would at most go up and say a few words of greeting.

But now Cedric actually dragged Harry to the kitchen and claimed to treat him to afternoon tea.

Mike agreed with this!

Although he was in a bad mood, Harry still maintained basic manners and kept saying that he had to attend Quidditch training later and had no time for afternoon tea.

However, Harry, with his small arms and legs, was obviously no match for the two big men, Mike and Cedric, and was carried to the kitchen of Hogwarts by the two men.

It was obvious that Cedric must have come to the kitchen often to eat and drink.

So when Cedric, Mike and others came to the kitchen, the house elves inside ran to prepare food without even asking, while Mike and others found a small round table and sat down.

"Mike, Cedric. To be honest, I really have to go to training later..."

Harry, who was released after coming to the kitchen, wanted to find an excuse to leave, but Cedric got angry before he could finish.

"What's the point of training today when it's raining? Stop making excuses!" Cedric angrily pressed Harry down on the chair. "If you dare to leave today, you don't consider me your friend!"

Cedric's angry look obviously frightened Harry. Harry sat in his seat pitifully, his eyes sneaking glances at Cedric from time to time, fearing that he would get angry again.

Seeing this, Mike smiled, patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, Cedric has no ill intentions. Besides, it's raining today, it's really not suitable to go to Quidditch training." "

I don't want to go either, but Oliver is crazy. He forces everyone to get up at five o'clock every morning for a morning meeting, and to train every day, regardless of the weather!"

Harry deliberately emphasized the tone when saying the last four words. It seems that he is very resentful of their Quidditch captain.

The smile on Mike's face became even brighter. He originally thought that Roger was pestering him all day to participate in the competition, which was crazy enough, but he didn't expect that the Gryffindor Quidditch team would do something even worse.

Unlike Mike, Cedric, who was originally smiling, immediately became serious after Harry finished speaking, and said to Harry with a complicated look:

"Don't blame Wood, he should graduate this year. To be honest, he is quite pitiful. Wood's dream is to become a champion, but Gryffindor has not won the Quidditch Cup for at least seven consecutive years. If they can't win the cup this year..."

Cedric stopped talking halfway, lowered his head and looked serious as if he was mourning for Wood.

Harry also lowered his head and said nothing after hearing this, which made Mike a little embarrassed.

The strange silence between the three did not last too long, because the house elves with amazing efficiency had already started serving the dishes.

Cedric, who was awakened from some complicated emotions, returned to normal. He took out a bottle of whiskey from a hidden corner next to the round table, opened the bottle cap, covered the pattern on the bottle with his hand, poured a glass and handed it to Harry.

"Come on, I told you I'd treat you to afternoon tea." Cedric said with a smile, "Hufflepuff special black tea!"

When Harry saw the cup of liquid that was very similar in color to black tea, an expression similar to a black question mark appeared on his face.

"This doesn't seem to be black tea, does it?" Harry lowered his head and smelled it, "Ahem! It doesn't smell like it! Isn't this wine?"

Seeing that Harry was not fooled, Cedric's smile quickly withdrew, and he picked up the bottle again and poured it for himself and Mike before continuing to persuade:

"You're wrong, this is black tea, but it smells a bit like wine. Try it, my black tea has effects that ordinary black tea doesn't have."

Cedric paused here before continuing: "It can make people forget their worries and sorrows. To be honest, this thing is very expensive. If I hadn't seen you looking so sad, I wouldn't have let you drink it."

Harry began to doubt his life. Since he had never drunk alcohol, or even smelled it, Harry couldn't be sure of the authenticity of Cedric's words, and could only look at Mike eagerly.

It is always a bad behavior to trick a child into drinking strong alcohol, but Mike especially wanted to see Harry's reaction after being tricked.

So Mike pretended not to see it and lowered his head to eat the appetizers served by the house elf.

This is a very common appetizer combination in the UK, fried pork skin, Scottish fried eggs, beef jerky and some pickled cucumbers.

Many foreigners think of well-dressed gentlemen and gay men when they talk about the UK, but in fact, most British men's favorite thing to do is to drink.

The UK can be said to be a place where alcoholics are abundant. Everyone says that the fighting nation is good at drinking and drinks vodka every day.

But in fact, when it comes to drinking, the UK is even better than the fighting nation. In

fact, the UK is the country with the largest alcohol consumption in the world (in terms of amount). With a population of more than 60 million, it has achieved the first place in the ranking. You can imagine how much the British like to drink.

In such a country where alcohol culture is prevalent, the appetizers will naturally not be bad.

Not to mention beef jerky and pickled cucumbers, the snack of fried pork skin has an unexpected flavor after being simply fried.

There is even a shop that specializes in fried pork skin that has been awarded three Michelin stars, so you can imagine how delicious this snack is.

The method of making Scottish fried eggs is more complicated than fried pork skin. It is worth noting that this egg is not that bomb. As the name suggests, this dish is fried eggs.

The only difference is that it is deep-fried with boiled eggs, and before frying, it is coated with a layer of seasoned ham, coriander, onion and other ingredients.

This dish is a bit devilish, and Mike is not very interested in it. It feels like a mixture of boiled eggs and fried meat, and the taste is weird and greasy.

When Mike was eating, Harry's eyes left Mike and returned to the cup of "black tea".

He is not a fool, and he naturally knows that the cup of black tea in front of him is wine.

But the curiosity of minors about wine prompted him not to expose Cedric's clumsy lie, and even lowered his head to take a sip.

"Cough cough cough!"

For Harry, a rookie who has never drunk alcohol, the 43-degree whiskey is still too strong. As soon as the wine entered his throat, Harry began to cough violently, and Mike and Cedric laughed wildly.

As if to celebrate the success of deceiving Harry, Cedric and Mike raised their glasses and clinked them, and then drank the small amount of whiskey in the glass.

"Ha, what a good wine." Cedric said happily, "How is it, Harry, is this water of life good to drink?"

"I can't, this wine is too strong!"

Harry shook his head and waved his hands, indicating that he couldn't enjoy such a delicacy.

However, he was no match for Cedric. Under Cedric's constant persuasion, he finished his glass of whiskey unknowingly.

Harry, who was drinking for the first time, obviously couldn't drink much. After drinking such a glass, his little face turned red, his eyes were wide open, and his body kept swaying in the chair. Even his voice was much louder.

Obviously drunk!

Mike and Cedric were naturally not as unbearable as him. While eating snacks, the two talked about interesting things that happened recently, and they were drunk.

After being drunk, Harry was obviously much bolder. Seeing that Cedric and Mike were chatting happily and hesitated to pour him a glass of wine, he filled it up again by himself. After taking a sip, he burst into tears.

The heart-wrenching cry startled the house elves working in the kitchen. Mike and Cedric also looked towards Harry.

Before they could comfort him, Harry cried and said,

"It's so hard for me! Mike! I'm under a lot of pressure recently!"

Cedric and Mike looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

But in fact, there was no need for them to say anything. Harry, who was drunk, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass again. He hugged Mike's arm and said:

"Mike, you know? I really want to go to Hogsmeade Village, but the registration deadline is the day after tomorrow, and Professor McGonagall still won't sign for me!"

"Well, maybe she does it for your own good. You know, Black is looking for you all over the world."

"It's for my own good! If it's for my own good, you should let me go to Hogsmeade!" Harry yelled and pushed Mike away. "And Hermione and Ron, they have been falling out recently. Ron said that Hermione's cat always wanted to eat his mice, and Hermione said her cat wouldn't do that... My God! How could there be so many bad things!"

"I'm not happy in class either! The old woman in the Divination class looks at me with regretful eyes all day long, as if I might die at any time! The same goes for Hagrid. He now asks us to take care of caterpillars all day long!..."

It can be seen that Harry is under a lot of pressure recently. He has been talking there for a long time. Mike and Cedric were a little at a loss. They had never seen Harry like this before.

At this moment, the kitchen door was pushed open with a loud bang.

Mike looked over and saw Snape walking towards him like a big bat.

"Aha! Three underage students drinking together! You are really capable! Ravenclaw, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff will each be deducted 50 points!" Snape's cold eyes swept over the three people and finally fell on Harry, "Mr. Savior! I didn't expect to see you here again. I originally planned to put you in detention, but now it seems that expelling you may be the right choice."

After saying that, Snape looked at Harry with smugness, looking forward to seeing the bullied but helpless expression on his annoying face.

Every time he saw this face, he always felt like he had gotten his revenge, which made him very happy.

Things change! James, you bullied me when you were in school, so now I will bully your son.

However, Snape might be disappointed this time. Harry roared with red eyes and rushed towards Snape. He hugged Snape's waist and started to beat and kick him.

Harry's bold behavior scared Snape. Although Harry's small arms and legs could not hurt him, it made him embarrassed.

"Hanging upside down!"

Snape didn't even use his wand. After a loud roar, Harry was lifted up by a huge force and hung upside down in the air.

"Harry attacked the professor! Gryffindor will be deducted another 50 points!"

"Professor! Don't you think it's too much not to do this?"

Intoxicated, Mike felt his head was hot and he stood up and questioned Snape. The blackthorn wand also appeared in his hand.

As a friend, Cedric of course supported Harry and Mike. Seeing this, he stood up and said,

"Snape, if you want to punish me, punish me. I invited Mike and Harry!"

Snape completely ignored Cedric, stared at Mike with his venomous eyes, and said word by word, "Do you want to attack the professor too? Mike! Townley! It seems that I really have to teach you a lesson today!"

After that, Snape drew out his wand. Mike's pupils shrank. Although he had never seen Snape take action, he guessed that he was not his opponent according to Professor Flitwick's level.

Just when the battle was about to break out, a somewhat shrill but extremely majestic voice came over.

"Who wants to teach my students a lesson!"

Behind Snape, Professor Flitwick was walking with Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout.

The three professors reacted differently, and Professor Flitwick was looking at Snape.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips tightly, her face was as cold as frost, and her face became even colder when she saw Harry being thrown into the air.

Professor Sprout didn't care about the others at all. She walked quickly to Cedric and asked him if he was okay.

Since Cedric was injured, Professor Sprout felt very guilty and thought it was her responsibility, so she took extra care of Cedric.

It was unknown what Cedric had said to her. When the two finished talking, Sprout's eyes turned extremely sharp when he looked at Snape.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the kitchen became extremely strange. Everyone was silent. Even the house elves on the side stopped their work and hid aside.

Only Harry, who was hanging in the air, was obviously completely drunk, and was still cursing Snape.

This made Snape's face even uglier.

"Lock the tongue and seal the throat!"

Snape, who could no longer bear it, used a tongue-locking curse to shut Harry's mouth.

But this behavior seemed to have detonated the scene. Professor Sprout and Professor Flitwick drew their wands and pointed them at Snape!

Everyone was the dean of their respective colleges, and there was no such thing as who was afraid of whom.

Snape was pointed at by the two, and his body froze.

"Enough!" Professor McGonagall yelled, "What are you doing! Harry! You are all grounded! For one semester!"

Although Professor McGonagall was very powerful, the other two deans didn't listen to her at all at this moment, and they still looked at Snape with a covetous look.

Seeing that a conflict between professors was about to begin, Michael and Cedric began to persuade the professors of their respective colleges to put down their wands.

Seeing this, Professor McGonagall snorted coldly and asked everyone to disperse quickly, then she left with her sleeves, not even Harry's wands. It seemed that what happened today really made her very angry.

Michael naturally couldn't watch Harry being hung upside down there, and in front of Snape, he used a golden bell to fall and the spell to stop, lifting the spell that Snape had placed on Harry.

After doing all this, Michael followed Professor Flitwick and walked away slowly. Before leaving, he looked at Snape meaningfully.

What appeared in front of him was a gloomy and smelly face.
