From Karma Taj to Hogwarts

Chapter 179 Apology to Professor Kettleburn

"Take it out." Sivan said with a chuckle, looking at Riddle's two hands that had been in his pockets.

Riddle pretended to be confused and asked with a blank face: "What are you talking about, Rozier?"

"Don't even think about lying to me. You couldn't have done so much just to scare your two roommates. You should have other purposes." Xiwen said. "If I guess correctly, you are probably after the Fire Ash Snake's eggs, right?"

"Collect a few ash snake eggs, hatch them with magic flames when needed, and use Parseltongue to let them help you fight against the enemy. I have to say, this is a very genius idea."

Riddle was silent for a moment, but still shook his head helplessly.

"Sure enough, I still can't hide it from you." He took out both hands from his pockets, holding a red fire-ash snake egg in each hand.

The ash snake egg was firmly frozen by the freezing spell. As long as Riddle unsealed it and placed it in the magic flame, a new ash snake would hatch from it. And the ash snake, a magical animal that reproduces asexually, can produce more small ash snakes one after another, endlessly.

"Will you report me?" Riddle looked at Xiwen and asked.

"Are you willing to admit your mistake to the professors?" Sivan asked, staring into Riddle's eyes.

"Are you kidding me?" After hearing this, Riddle suddenly became excited and raised his voice. "I'm not someone like you who has a backing on the school board. Who knows if I will be expelled from Hogwarts after admitting my mistake?"

"You may not know that I have trouble sleeping and eating when I think about the possibility of being expelled from Hogwarts and sent back to the previous orphanage!"

"Since you also knew that you might be expelled, why would you do such a thing?" Xiwen asked.

"I said, I will solve the matter of Lestrange and Avery myself." Riddle's voice became colder. "This is the most practical solution I can think of. As for the auditorium being set on fire, I did not mean it."

"If you really want to report me, then go ahead. I will destroy the two fire-ash snake eggs in my hand and firmly refuse to admit that I did it. Without evidence, the principal has no Fire me directly for the reason.”

"Of course, if you really do this, Slytherin's blood discrimination and campus bullying will continue to exist, and I can only endure their hateful faces for a while longer. Then our friendship will almost come to an end. "

Riddle's voice became lower and lower, especially the last sentence, which was almost as weak as a mosquito.

But Sivan heard it.

He looked directly into Riddle's dark eyes and was silent for a long time.

"If you can get Professor Kettleburn's forgiveness, I will not pursue this matter anymore." Finally, Xiwen spoke to break the increasingly oppressive atmosphere here. "Because of your behavior, the professor was placed on probation by the principal."

"I remember Professor Bierley was also injured," Riddle said in a low voice.

"Professor Bierley's problem naturally lies with the two people who openly dueled on the stage." Sivan said.

"Don't worry, Professor Kettleburn is the most considerate. As long as you tell him your difficulties, he will definitely not report you to the principal."

……

"That's outrageous!" Professor Kettleburn slammed the table with his remaining right hand and roared.

Sivan and Riddle stood beside the shed in silence, shivering under the professor's loud voice...

"I really didn't expect there to be this level of campus bullying in Hogwarts. What does Horace do as Dean?!" Professor Kettleburn said loudly.

"Actually, Professor Slughorn is very good to me..." Riddle was already a little guilty when facing the person involved. He was even more frightened by the professor's tough aura, and he didn't even have the confidence to speak.

"This is not a question of whether he is good to you or not, his behavior is tame!" Professor Kettleburn said angrily. "He wants to be grateful to the gifted students, but also doesn't want to offend the two pure-blood families, so he treats you kindly while not taking any specific measures against this bullying!"

"No, I have to go and reason with him." After saying that, the professor stood up, picked up the coat hanging on the wall, and walked out the door resolutely.

"Uh, professor, how about we discuss first whether to forgive Riddle for his mistakes." Xiwen quickly stopped the professor and changed the subject.

In this way, the hot-tempered Professor Kettleburn faced Professor Slughorn, and it would be difficult to handle any conflict.

"This is not a mistake, it's just to save myself." The professor waved his hand casually and said to the two of them. "If something like this happened to me, a harmless little thing like a fire ash snake wouldn't be enough. Only 5X-level magical animals like a long-horned water snake and a basilisk would be enough!"

Hearing the professor's words, Riddle nodded thoughtfully.

The corners of Xiwen's mouth twitched, feeling that the professor's casual joking words had already been remembered by Riddle...

"So, professor, do you forgive me?" Riddle then asked.

"Of course, I'm not an old-fashioned person like Armando who sticks to the rules!" Professor Kettleburn said carelessly. "If this doesn't forgive you, then don't I lose my humanity?"

After hearing the affirmative reply, Riddle finally showed a relieved smile and subconsciously looked back at Xiwen.

Xiwen nodded to him, then looked at the professor and asked: "Professor, regarding the matter of you being detained for probation..."

"What does this mean? Didn't I tell you that I'm used to it!" Professor Kettleburn said, but suddenly realized a problem and asked doubtfully. "Wait, how did you know that I was on probation?"

Xiwen was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he hadn't separated his soul body for more than a month, and almost forgot to carefully distinguish what happened on both sides.

"Ahem, this matter has caused such a big fuss. Apart from being placed on probation, I can't think of any other punishment that Principal Dippet will give." Xiwen pretended to be calm and smiled, and quickly made amends.

"That's right." Professor Kettleburn muttered. "My salary is being deducted from my probation. This little guy must give me some compensation."

Riddle heard the professor's muttering, thought for a moment and then said seriously: "Professor, I really don't have many Galleons and Sickles now. But if you need it, I will definitely give it back to you twice as much after I graduate and work!"

"That's not it. I wouldn't shamelessly seek compensation from a little guy like you for such a small salary." Professor Kettleburn waved his hand and said. "I don't want your other things either, you just need to do me a little favor."

"It just so happens that I am currently studying various snakes and magical animals. Just come and be my translator every weekend!" the professor said with a smile.

Xiwen: 'So this is your real purpose, right...'
