Chapter 40：

"Okay, okay, it depends on your face." Ye Ting nodded indifferently: "As long as he doesn't mess with me anymore."

"Thank you, Mr. Ye, you can go back." Dumbledore opened the principal's room door with a smile and sent Ye Ting out. "By the way, I really like your Christmas gifts. No one has given me socks for a long time. They are always not enough to wear."

"Ah, this is a special product brought back from Eastern Europe, as long as you like it." Ye Ting waved his hand and left the principal's office.

There was a sound of stone organs moving behind.

However, the next day, Snape also retaliated against Ye Ting.

In Ravenclaw's potions class, he announced loudly that Ravenclaw would deduct 20 points for this, and decided on the spot to put Ye Ting in the tower for a week.

The Slytherin snakes finally got their wish. They congratulated each other and announced that Ravenclaw's genius and male **** would pay for what he did.

However, they were beaten in the face the next day.

At breakfast the next day, Fei Ju rushed to the lobby with a dozen cats including Mrs. Loris, and surrounded Malfoy and his two attendants.

Malfoy, who had just finished treatment from Madam Pomfrey, saw the group of cats, and immediately recalled the nightmare experience. They screamed and ran away, while Feiju took her little brothers to disobey. He chased after him without mercy.

Malfoy will never forget this day-Feiju used the entire Hogwarts Castle as her hunting ground. For a whole day, she and her little brothers pursued Draco Malfoy in an inhumane manner- Although there is no need to actually do anything, Malfoy will run away as soon as he sees them—they will pop up from any corner at any time, any place, and pounce in front of Malfoy, scaring him to hold his head, which makes him this day. He could do almost nothing but escape, and finally had to hide in the lounge, shivering with quilts wrapped in himself.

Finally, before dinner time, the tower's door was opened with a "bang", and Ye Ting followed the sound and saw Professor Snape standing at the door with a gloomy face.

"You won." He said in a hoarse voice: "Take your cat and leave me quickly. Don't let me see you using magic in the hallway in the future!"

That night, everyone was surprised to find that Ye Ting appeared in front of everyone again after being confined for a day.

All the little wizards firmly believed that Ye Ting defeated Professor Snape.

Item 0061

Snape lost face on Ye Ting, and the Gryffindors gloated at it, but within a few days they were retributed.

Because in Gryffindor's next game, against Hufflepuff, Snape will be the referee.

Now the little Lions were dumbfounded. They doubted Snape's fairness, but even Captain Wood had no choice but to guarantee that he would completely abide by the rules during the game to prevent Snape from finding fault.

But Seeker Harry Potter had other concerns. He felt that Professor Snape had applied to be a referee in order to deliberately approach him. Ron also held the same view and made a suggestion: "Don't participate in the game. , It means you are sick, such as breaking your leg or something."

"I can't do this," Harry said. "There is no substitute Seeker on the team. If I quit, the Gryffindor team will not be able to play."

Just then, Neville fell into the common room. No one can guess how he got out of the portrait hole because his two legs are tightly glued together. Harry and the others knew at a glance that this was a leg-locking charm. He must have jumped all the way upstairs like a rabbit into Gryffindor Castle.

Both of them laughed out loud, but after the laugh, there was nothing to do with this leg-locking curse. Finally, Harry offered to go to the public library to find Ye Ting’s help, because among the little wizards Harry knew, he belonged to him. The magic is the most superb.

"I know where he is. Just now when I was looking for clues about Nico Lemay in the library, he and Hermione Granger were reading together. I really don't know why they can keep reading." Luo En reminded.

They found Ye Ting in a corner of the library. Ye Ting snapped his fingers, and Neville's legs separated. He stood up, trembling all over.

"Oh, it's cool." Hermione looked at him enviously: "You can actually cast spells without a wand. I heard that only powerful and skilled wizards can do this. How did you do it?"

"It's very simple. Do you remember the magic that we used unconsciously when we didn't get the wand?" Ye Ting explained patiently: "If you want to cast spells without a wand, you should remember the feeling at that time, and then try to control it with your own consciousness. It, when you are able to consciously control this, you can start without a wand if you want to learn it. If you want to learn it, I will teach you later."

Hermione nodded excitedly, but the three Harry Potter next to him were confused. In the end, Neville spoke to Ye Ting, "Thank you for dispelling this magic for me."

Ye Ting shook his head, indicating that it was nothing.

But Hermione asked curiously: "What's the matter? Who cast your leg-locking spell on you?"

"Malfoy," Neville said with a trembling voice, "I ran into him outside the library. He said he had been looking for someone to practice the spell."

"It's Malfoy again." Ye Ting rolled his eyes helplessly: "This guy always wants to do something."

"You have to go to Professor McGonagall!" Hermione urged Neville, "Sue him!"

Neville shook his head.

"I don't want to cause trouble anymore." He muttered vaguely.

"You must deal with him bravely, Neville!" Ron said, "He is always domineering, and we have no reason to give in in front of him, so that he can easily succeed, just like Ye Ting did last time."

"You don't need to tell me that I'm too courageous to stay in Gryffindor. Malfoy has already said this to me." Neville said with a choked voice.

Harry reached into his robe pocket, took out a piece of chocolate, and handed it to Neville. Neville seemed to be crying.

"You are better than twelve Malfoys," Harry said. "The Sorting Hat selected you for Gryffindor, didn't you? Where is Malfoy? In the nasty Slytherin."

Neville opened the horseshoe-shaped chocolate, his lips twitched, and a weak smile appeared.

"Thank you. Harry... I want to go to bed... Do you want the cards? You collect the cards, don't you?"

After Neville left, Harry looked at the famous wizard card.

He gasped, staring at the back of the card, then looked up at Ron.

"I found him!" He whispered, "I found Le May! I told you where I saw this name before. It turned out that I saw it on the train coming here—listen. This:'Dumbledore's well-known contributions include: defeating the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945, discovering twelve uses of dragon blood, and working with his partner Nico Lemay in alchemy!'"

"Nicole LeMay is good at alchemy." Ron was also very happy: "Now I can narrow down the search."

After speaking, he looked at Hermione and Ye Ting, both of them showed helpless expressions.

"Hey, do you remember what Hagrid said last time?" Ron reminded them loudly, "He mentioned Nico LeMay, aren't you curious at all?"

"Of course not." Hermione looked weird, and it took a long time to suffocate: "Actually I'm very curious, but we already know who Nicol LeMay is."

"You already know who Nicol LeMay is?" Ron was dumbfounded, looking shocked-they had been looking through the library for a long time and they couldn't find a word about Nicol LeMay.

"Now that you know it," Harry looked at Hermione with a pleading expression: "Could you tell us who exactly is Nicol LeMay? We've been looking for it for a long time, and this is really important. "

"Can you?" Hermione looked at Ye Ting with a questioning expression.

Ye Ting sighed and nodded: "Since they already have clues, it is only a matter of time to find Nicol LeMay's intelligence."

So Hermione cleared her throat, lowered her voice like an act, and said, "Nicole LeMay is the only maker of the Philosopher's Stone known to everyone!"

Her words did not achieve the results she expected.

"What stone?" Harry and Ron asked.

"Oh, what's going on, don't you two usually don't read books? You don't even know the Philosopher's Stone."

She shook her head and explained: "The Sorcerer's Stone is a magical substance with amazing functions. It can turn any metal into pure gold, and it can also create an elixir, so that people who drink it will never die. For centuries, There have been many reports about the Philosopher’s Stone, but the only remaining Philosopher’s Stone belongs to the famous alchemist and opera lover Nico Lemay. He celebrated his 665th birthday last year and is now with his wife Pei Rainal (658 years old) lived in Devon together in seclusion."

"Understood?" After the explanation, Hermione held up his head and analyzed: "That big dog must be guarding Le May's Philosopher's Stone! I dare say Le May asked Dumbledore to keep it for him, because they It's a friend, and he knew someone was thinking about playing the Philosopher's Stone. That's why he moved the Philosopher's Stone from Gringotts."

"A stone can turn into gold, and it can make you never die!" Harry said. "No wonder Snape is also hitting his idea! Anyone would want it!"

"No wonder we can't find Le May in the "Research on the Development of Modern Witchcraft"," Ron suddenly realized. "Since he is six hundred and sixty-five years old, he can't be considered modern, right?"
