The Little Superman of Hogwarts

Harry Potter's Little Superman - Chapter 013 [Malfoy's Frame-Up]

The next day, at the time agreed upon with Hermione the day before, Keli and Hermione went to the library together... Hermione was there to study hard, while Keli wanted to find out why he couldn't release magic.

For three whole hours, until about eleven o'clock in the morning, Keli still hadn't found anything. Although he had read more than a dozen books... it seemed that because the Superman bloodline had never appeared on Earth, the content of all the books was irrelevant.

It wasn't until around eleven o'clock that Ron suddenly appeared.

"Keli! It's terrible, terrible! Go back to the dormitory quickly, Malfoy is making trouble. Snape is looking for you now. I heard you and Hermione were in the library, so I ran over first!" Ron said hurriedly.

"What happened? Slow down!" Keli asked with a frown.

"Just now, Malfoy brought Snape to the Gryffindor dormitory, saying he was looking for something that was lost. I didn't pay attention to what it was. Snape has already found something and is looking for you. Malfoy also said something like, 'We must expel Keli and purify the morals of Hogwarts!' I can't enter your dormitory. Harry is watching over there, he told me to come to the library to find you first!" Ron added.

Hermione also looked anxious after hearing this. As Keli was Hermione's only good friend so far, she would naturally be anxious, especially since Snape was there, which sounded terrible.

"Don't panic, I'll go see what happened. Malfoy wants to expel me? He'll have to wait another five hundred years." Keli slowly put the book back on the shelf.

Keli said, "Hermione, if you'd like, you can go have lunch first. I'm going back to the dormitory now."

"I'll go with you. Anyway, I'm a girl, of course I can enter the boys' dormitory!" Hermione flatly refused, and immediately packed up her things to follow.

Keli had of course anticipated this situation and didn't stop Hermione. The three of them returned to the Gryffindor dormitory together.

When they entered the boys' common room, they happened to meet one of Malfoy's cronies—Goyle.

"Let me see! The thief is here!" Goyle shouted loudly, then rushed into Keli's single dormitory, shouting, "The thief is back!"

Keli and the others ignored him and followed him into the dormitory. After entering the room, Keli realized that the four prefects of Gryffindor and Slytherin were all here (two boys and two girls). The four of them turned to look at Keli. Beside the four of them were Malfoy and other Slytherin wizards, and on the other side were Harry and other Gryffindor wizards.

"What exactly happened?" Keli asked.

"As expected, the thief is back!" Malfoy said contemptuously.

"If you don't want to get more footprints on your face, then don't talk too much!" Keli said to Malfoy slowly. Malfoy looked scared, but his expression quickly turned fierce: "Did you hear that? This thief is threatening me! We must expel him!"

Before Keli could speak, an elegant female voice came from behind Keli: "I don't think we can expel any young wizard without a reason!"—it was Professor McGonagall's voice!

Hermione quickly ran over and nodded respectfully to Professor McGonagall. Beside Professor McGonagall was Snape, still as greasy as ever, and the two walked in side by side.

"Who can tell me what exactly happened?" Professor McGonagall asked, "Percy, can you tell me what happened?"

"Of course, I'd be happy to!" Percy and the four prefects roughly stated the incident.

Basically, when Malfoy woke up yesterday morning, he suddenly found that a very valuable family badge that he carried with him was missing.

But Malfoy thought he might have forgotten it in someone else's dormitory, so he didn't pay attention. It wasn't until he started looking for it again this morning that he realized that not only the family badge, but even several of his gold ornaments were missing. Pure-blood families would wear a lot of valuable items—especially some magical items, which were priceless—just to show their sense of existence.

Later, when his roommates and others helped him search, they found that their things were also missing—all very small but very expensive things, mostly ornaments, but also some other things. The Slytherin prefects roughly estimated that the things Malfoy and the others had lost amounted to more than five thousand gold Galleons.

This was already a considerable amount of money. You should know that in the original Harry Potter, Mr. Weasley's monthly salary was only about eighty gold Galleons. Mr. Weasley was a senior employee of the Ministry of Magic. If you calculate it this way, the purchasing power of five thousand gold Galleons would be equivalent to at least three hundred thousand pounds—you should know that it is now 1991, which is enough to buy more than a dozen brand-name cars.

The prefects were even frightened and immediately called Snape. As the Dean of Slytherin, Snape naturally needed to take care of it. After thinking for a long time, Malfoy remembered that his family badge had the function of tracking and mutual induction, and he also had a gold badge from his family that had always been stored in his suitcase, so Malfoy volunteered to look for it.

The rest was easy to guess. Malfoy's badge actually appeared in Keli's dormitory! And—not just this one badge, but also those missing expensive items were found in Keli's dormitory—they were all placed in a black cloth bag, which was placed in the deepest part of Keli's wardrobe.

After listening, Keli frowned, and Professor McGonagall also frowned. She glanced at Keli. A woman's sixth sense told her that things didn't seem so simple, because if it were someone else, it would be fine, but Professor McGonagall had spent a lot of effort observing Keli. After this week, she could be sure that Keli would never be the kind of person who steals things.

Professor McGonagall then dismissed the onlookers and took everyone, including Keli, to the office at the end of the dormitory.

Professor McGonagall and Snape followed the two of them down the hallway, speaking softly.

"I don't believe Keli would do this. Mr. Feynman is a trustworthy young wizard. I don't think he would steal things!" Professor McGonagall said softly.

"Although I hate Keli, I don't think he would do such a thing either." Unexpectedly, Snape also denied it. Relying on his super hearing, Keli easily overheard this sentence, which shocked Keli a little. He didn't expect this old bat, who couldn't wait to hammer him to death in class, but as the novels said, he was cold on the outside and warm on the inside. It seemed that he would have to be nicer to him in the future.

"Then what do you decide to do?" Professor McGonagall asked.

Snape paused for a moment, thought for a few seconds and said, "He is a very smart young wizard. I think he has a way to prove his innocence. We don't need to worry about it. If he doesn't even have this ability, then he shouldn't have behaved like that when I taught the class yesterday!"

"So Keli performed very well in Potions class?" Professor McGonagall also became interested and asked.

"Rather than saying he was excellent, it's more like he was unbelievable..." Snape recalled the scene in class yesterday. Keli was able to guess the hidden meaning of Snape's medicine expression, which could no longer be simply described as excellent, but belonged to the realm of "God".

"Okay, then let's just let Keli make a self-statement first," Professor McGonagall said.
