Chapter 305: Punishment
Snape, who was training the good student Jane in the cellar, suddenly received a package from the Malfoy family.
Contains a strangely shaped rope and an earnest letter.
The letter expressed the other party's hope that their son would become successful, and the deep love for their son was evident between the lines.
Anyone who sees this will have to admire the good intentions of the Malfoys and say they are a model pair of parents.
——It’s a pity that the “fists” are in the physical sense.
So Draco was quickly arrested by his own dean and taken to the cellar.
In front of Snape and Jane, the rope began to move automatically.
As if it had been installed with a facial recognition system, it rushed towards Draco like an arrow, and one end quickly tied him up the moment it touched his skin and tied a knot very skillfully; the other end rushed straight to the lamp stand on the roof and tied itself tightly to it.
This caused Draco to be hung in the air all of a sudden, with his head down and his feet up, creating a strange effect of hanging upside down.
"Help--!"
Draco, who was suddenly attacked, was spinning in the air and struggling hard, but the rope tied him tighter.
"I shouldn't have let you take up my research time." Snape frowned, leaning against the wall and looking indifferently at Draco who was gradually giving up his struggle. "But your loving father even used our friendship as students just to teach you a profound lesson."
Desperate Draco covered his face with his hands, which was flushed red due to shame or blood regurgitation, and tried his best to turn his body around, facing Jian Yu with his back.
The four big words "Let me die" occupied his entire heart.
This made Jian Yu unable to help but stop boiling the medicine and watch this miracle happen with eyes wide open.
She suddenly thought of the flag Draco had set a few days ago...
The top of the Hogwarts tower... the entrance to Malfoy Manor...
It can’t be such a coincidence, right?
But the fact seems to be such a coincidence.
Snape spread out the letter and read it aloud in a rhythmic manner:
"To Severus: We are deeply concerned about Draco's entrepreneurial behavior in school... His thoughts have been corrupted by Umbridge, and his words and deeds are puzzling... It's a pity that we are in a special period now, otherwise we would definitely take him home (hang him at the gate of Malfoy Manor) (crossed out) and discipline him strictly... Your former senior students are very earnestly asking you for help, hoping that you can guide Draco to the right path on our behalf. Narcissa and I agree that (the top of the Hogwarts tower) (crossed out) your cellar would be a good choice. I hope you can give him more tutoring and get results that will not embarrass him... At the same time, please say hello to Yu on our behalf, hoping that she can persuade Draco to study hard..."
Although the content in brackets was crossed out, it did not prevent Snape from reading it out.
Draco groaned in his throat as if his vocal cords were squeezed, and he looked extremely ashamed.
"Hanging at the gate of Malfoy Manor... on the top of the Hogwarts tower... your father used such strong force that the handwriting even penetrated the letter paper." Snape said sarcastically, "and I think your mother doesn't want you to become the kind of prodigal son we often see. So please tell me, how much money did you spend on your stupid Bafe's brain-stimulating potion business?"
The scene of Kreacher angrily scolding Sirius flashed through Jane Yu's mind, making her suspect that Snape had smuggled something in.
Draco was silent, looking as if his soul was no longer in his body.
"In other words, how many Galleons did you lose?" Snape was becoming increasingly impatient. "How many units? Tens or hundreds?"
He got Draco's gentle reply:
"thousand..."
The air in the cellar was stagnant, Snape took a deep breath, and even Jian Yu couldn't help but frowned and looked at him with disgust.
This silly kid's spendthriftness is truly extraordinary.
Being able to turn business into charity is also a special skill.
"Very good. With our little Mr. Malfoy's charitable act, we can even sponsor the school to hold a few more Triwizard Tournaments."
Snape finally understood why his old friend was so angry.
If this number were placed in any family, both parents would suffer cerebral hemorrhage.
He promptly declared Draco bankrupt, and had to help his old friend deal with the mess in order to recoup some gold Galleons:
"As your dean, I think I have to terminate your license to continue selling Bafe Brain Stimulant in school. Your stock and those crucibles must be sold. I will buy the remaining herbs at the original price... For students who have not paid and are maliciously refusing to pay, please make a list and the deans will track them down..."
Sometimes, he really felt tired of having this family.
"As for you, Mr. Malfoy, I think I have to give you a semester of detention so that your stupid brain can grow some wisdom to cope with the OWL exams and avoid you becoming the first descendant of the Malfoy family to be infamous for failing the exams."
Snape handed down the final punishment on behalf of the Malfoys and asked coldly:
"So what do you want to say before you are hoisted to the gates of Malfoy Manor and atop the Hogwarts tower?"
The tone in which he said this was as if he was asking "Do you have any last words?", which made Draco shudder.
Perhaps it was because the upside-down posture made Draco's congested brain dull, and he felt that he could not hear Snape's questions clearly.
But before his high blood pressure attack, he was able to sensitively capture the two key words "Malfoy Manor" and "tower top".
This caused some of his built-in programs to be automatically triggered -
Jian Yu only saw the half-dead Draco suddenly struggling in the air again!
Slowly but surely he pulled a purse from his robe, which hung down over his face, and handed it to her. It contained half a bag of gold galleons.
His arms trembled, and his voice was weak:
"Whether it's the top of the Hogwarts tower... or the gate of Malfoy Manor... I won't let you lose a penny..."
