Chapter 0060 Revenge on Ye Ting

_____________________________________________________________

After the game between Ravenclaw and Slytherin, the young wizards were surprised to see a strange sight on their way back to the castle.

There was a cage hanging from the ceiling in the back corridor of the castle, containing three rats, and underneath the cage were cats. There were more than a dozen of them, even Mrs. Norris was there. You know, it's not that no little wizard had ever thought about playing nice with Mrs. Norris with their cats, but no one has ever succeeded, because Mrs. Norris never hangs out with other cats.

The cats were obviously attracted to the rats, and one by one they jumped up and tried to reach the iron cage hanging from the ceiling, and whenever the cats jumped up, the rats in the cage would be scared in place.

On several occasions, the cats almost succeeded but eventually failed in the end.

But even so, the mice in the cage were still scared to death.

The young wizards watched the trick curiously, and there was a lot of talk about whom the perpetrator was. It was until an eyewitness revealed the news that the young wizards were shocked; Ye Ting had turned Malfoy and his followers into rats and put them in a cage to tease the cats.

This was a sight to behold. The cage immediately became a rare sight for everyone, and the young lions of Gryffindor rushed here to watch the misery of the Malfoy trio.

Harry and Ron also came here, they have always been at odds with Malfoy. This time, to see them make a fool of themselves, they immediately gloated.

Ron's twin brothers George and Fred also came here. They praised Ye Ting's tricks and invited Ye Ting to join their joke prop-making team.

"He has enough profound knowledge and is quite good at magic potions and alchemy." George said this about Ye Ting: "Now that we have seen that he is creative enough in terms of pranks, it is obvious that there is no one better than him to join us."

The professors were instead the last to arrive, and Snape rudely separated the young wizards, waved his wand to chase away all the cats, and then set the cage down.

Professor McGonagall also rushed here. She is an expert in transfigurations. Together with Professor Snape, she broke the spell and freed The Malfoy trio.

In full view of everyone, the three rats turned into Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle.

The three of them crawled towards the corner with their clothes in disarray, making gibbering noises, looking very panicked and scared. They thought that they had not recovered from the state of being rats.

See the ugliness of the three of them, there was another burst of laughter around. Ron laughed the most, as a result, the furious Snape deducted Gryffindor five points, which made Professor McGonagall's face turn very ugly.

Afterwards, the three were sent to Madam Pomfrey by other Slytherins.

Lucius Malfoy's revenge came quickly, that night, he stormed into the principal's office, and loudly asked Dumbledore to expel Ye Ting, but Dumbledore sternly refused.

Subsequently, he became irritated and when he was in the principal's office, he cursed Ye Ting, took out his wand and pointed it at Ye Ting's nose. As a result, he was hit by Ye Ting's silent disarming charm and his wand flew on the spot.

"How dare you... you dare to use a spell on me? Who do you think you are?" He shouted at Ye Ting in annoyance, attempting to use his voice to cover up his embarrassment at having his wand knocked away by a first-year student.

"You should apologize to Mr. Malfoy," Dumbledore said calmly to Ye Ting, "Mr. Malfoy only took out his wand because he was overly excited, and you have always been safe at Hogwarts, so you don't need to defend yourself so fiercely."

When he said the last word, he increased his tone and playfully winked at Ye Ting.

Ye Ting also winked intentionally.

"Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Malfoy." He turned to Lucius Malfoy and nodded to him politely, "I was just subconsciously 'defending myself'. I didn't know your wand was actually so easy to... Oh, anyway, I'm sorry. "

He noticed that Mr. Malfoy's originally pale face became even whiter after hearing these words.

"Don't let me find a chance, or I will definitely send you to Azkaban!"

After realizing that he couldn't get any results from Dumbledore, Lucius Malfoy glared at Ye Ting, wrapped his cloak around his body, and left in a hurry.

Then, Dumbledore looked at Ye Ting again.

"I know that you are a great child. You're mature, kind, eager to learn, and willing to help others. I've always thought you were one of the best students here." He said calmly to Ye Ting, "I also believe that if it weren't for Miss Granger, you wouldn't have done this, would you?"

"Yes," Ye Ting nodded, "I never get along with these little children."

Dumbledore nodded gratefully: "You have always been more mature than them, I always thought so. However, you should understand that not everyone is as sensible as you, especially Malfoy."

Speaking of this, he paused and looked towards the door.

"You saw what kind of man his father was, didn't you? That's the kind of family he grew up in, he's just a spoiled kid who doesn't know anything, but he's not a bad kid by nature. You've taught him enough lessons this time, I believe he won't be so reckless in the future, so please don't be like him, okay?"

"Okay, okay, if it's for your sake." Ye Ting nodded indifferently, "As long as he stops messing with me again."

"Thank you, Mr. Ye, you can go back." Dumbledore smiled as he opened the door to the principal's office and sent Ye Ting out. "By the way, I love your Christmas present, no one has given me socks in a long time, I never have enough to wear."

"Ah, it's a specialty 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 a stone mechanism moving behind him.

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

In Ravenclaw's Potions class, he loudly announced that Ravenclaw is deducted twenty points, and also decided on the spot to confine Ye Ting to the top of the tower for one week.

The Slytherin snakes finally got what they wanted, and they congratulated each other, announcing that Ravenclaw's genius and male-god was going to pay the price for what he had done.

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

At breakfast the next day, Himari rushed to the lobby with more than a dozen cats, including Mrs. Norris, then surrounded Malfoy and his two followers.

Malfoy, who had just finished his treatment from Madam Pomfrey, couldn't help but recall that nightmarish experience as soon as he saw the cats. They then ran away screaming while Himari chased after them relentlessly with her minions.

Malfoy would never forget this day, Himari made the entire Hogwarts castle her hunting ground, and for an entire day, she and her minions inhumanely hunted Draco Malfoy down. Although they didn't actually do anything, Malfoy would run away as soon as he saw them. They popped up at any time, anywhere from any corner, pouncing on Malfoy's face, scaring him into a scurry, which made him almost unable to do anything but run away during this day. In the end, he hid in the common room, wrapped in a blanket, shivering.

Finally, before dinner time, the door of the tower was banged open, Ye Ting looked followed the sound, only to see Professor Snape standing in the doorway with a grim face.

"You win." He said in a hoarse voice: "Take your cat and get out of here, and don't let me see you using magic in the hallway again!"

That night, everyone was surprised to find that after just one day of confinement, Ye Ting appeared in front of everyone again.

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