Chapter 61 Who are you?
Half an hour ago, when Jiang Li was trying to sneak out of the restricted area holding a book on dark magic, he was found by Professor Slaughter.
Sprout looked at Jiang Li with some concern and said, "Nia, Principal Dumbledore wants you to come over. He may want to discuss with you about Mr. Snape's expulsion."
"Drop out of school? Why would he drop out?" Jiang Li asked in surprise.
We just haven't talked for a while, so why did it end up like this, causing you to want to drop out of school?
Professor Sprout told Jiang Li what had happened before.
"He attacked the two boys who insulted you in order to save the girl from Ravenclaw, but he was too harsh. The father of one of the children is a Hogwarts director. If they knew about this, they would not allow Snape to continue studying here."
Jiang Li's pair of light blue eyes, which were always smiling, took on a hint of seriousness.
She looked at Professor Sprout and asked, "Do you know who the Ravenclaw girl was yesterday?"
"I know. That girl is Elena Wharton, a sophomore. She's a little timid, but a very smart and studious girl," Professor Sprout replied.
"Could you please take her to the principal's office?" Jiang Li said with a smile, "Perhaps the parents of the two boys will understand what happened and understand Snape's actions."
Professor Sprout thought this was unlikely, but seeing Jiang Li insisted, he agreed to take Elena with him to explain.
She also liked Snape, a very talented and hard-working student, and didn't want Snape to drop out for such a stupid reason.
When Jiang Li arrived at the principal's office, a fat man who looked like a mountain of meat was squeezed in a chair, talking to Dumbledore with eyes full of criticism and contempt.
"You should know that some things are best handled according to the arrangements, Dumbledore. You are getting old and confused. Don't make any more stupid decisions."
"Mr. Avery, I know exactly what I am doing now and I don't need you to remind me." Dumbledore said in a light voice.
Clearly didn't enjoy talking to this difficult guy.
As soon as Jiang Li walked in, their eyes immediately fell on him.
Avery looked at Jiang Li's light golden hair, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"This is Professor Malfoy, the teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at our school, and also Snape's guardian," Dumbledore introduced.
"This is Mr. Avery, Hodge Avery's father."
Mr. Avery looked at Jiang Li with his eyes, which were squeezed so tight that only a slit remained. He asked, "Your last name is Malfoy as well. Are you a relative of Abraxas? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Pure-blood families often get together, and most of them are familiar with each other's faces.
"I'm not his relative." Jiang Li looked him straight in the eye and said calmly, "You don't have to guess. My parents are both Muggles, not from a pure-blood family."
Hearing this, Avery's eyes immediately showed contempt.
"Your child injured my son. Students with bad character like this should not stay in Hogwarts and affect the safety of other students.
You don't want to lose your job at school because of this matter.
But if you are willing to bring that stupid boy to kneel before me, kowtow to my son, repent, and beg for forgiveness, maybe I can give you a chance. "
Hearing this, Jiang Li looked at Mr. Avery without changing his expression and said, "Why don't we find out what happened at that time? There was another person present at the time."
As soon as she finished speaking, Professor Sprout came in with Elena.
Elena saw the way Mr. Avery was staring at her and she trembled with fear.
Professor Sprout comforted him in a gentle voice: "Don't be nervous, kid. Just tell us what happened at that time."
Elena recalled the scene of Snape standing up to help her, took a deep breath, and stuttered, "That day, I was going to the Potions Room for class and bumped into Avery and the others. They were very angry and called me a mudblood, wet my clothes, pushed me to the ground, and threw my robe.
They threw away my glasses, they... they also wanted to take off my clothes, and at this moment, Snape appeared and stood up to stop Avery and the others.
Avery said a lot of nasty things and scolded Professor Malfoy for becoming a professor at Hogwarts by that kind of...behavior.
Snape was very angry, and he taught Avery a lesson. Avery tried to sneak attack him, but was discovered by Snape, so he was taught a lesson.
After hearing Elena's narration, Professor Sprout was indignant and said, "How could they do such a thing?"
"Mr. Avery, you should have heard clearly what happened. It was your son who took the initiative to cause trouble, and Snape subconsciously fought back. You can't blame anyone else." Jiang Li looked at Mr. Avery and said.
Mr. Avery sneered as if he heard a joke, “This is simply nonsense, my son would never do such a despicable thing.
I think this female student must have deliberately seduced my son, otherwise why would my son only play pranks on her and not on others?
I remember an old saying in the far east: it takes two to tango. I think this saying makes a lot of sense. If she hadn't done something that made my son fantasize, how could the following things have happened? "
Hearing these humiliating words, Elena burst into tears and clenched her jaw tightly.
Professor Sprout hugged the poor girl tightly.
"It takes two to tango."
Jiang Li chuckled, and when he raised his eyes, they suddenly became cold. Before anyone could react, he stretched out his hand and slapped Mr. Avery hard in the face.
Avery, who was as strong as a mountain of flesh, was slapped by her and flew several meters away.
Everyone present was stunned by her action.
Jiang Li looked at Mr. Avery and smiled evilly.
"Who said one hand clapping can't make a sound? Isn't this quite loud?"
Snape and Professor McGonagall, who were standing at the door, were shocked by Jiang Li's sudden action.
Jiang Li walked in front of Avery, looked down at him and sneered.
"Isn't strength the most important thing in Slytherin? Why don't you tell your stupid son who bullies other children by relying on his strength that he will call daddy when he meets someone stronger than him?
Beat the younger ones, then the older ones. Since I beat you today, do you have to go dig out old Mr. Avery from the ground to fight with me?"
Mr. Avery had never experienced such humiliation before, and his face turned purple.
He picked up his wand and was about to cast an evil curse at Jiang Li.
But Jiang Li was faster. She kicked the wand away and kicked the other person in the heart.
Mr. Avery was kicked out and the tables in the principal's office were smashed by the impact of his body.
Even Dumbledore subconsciously took a few steps back to avoid being hit by someone. He glanced at Jiang Li with a hint of shock in his eyes.
This reminded Dumbledore of a Muggle friend who was also a powerful warrior.
Look at Avery crawling out from the broken wood chips, ready to fight with Jiang Li.
Dumbledore coughed lightly and kindly reminded, "Gardenia once killed a mad werewolf with her bare hands, so she was invited to Hogwarts to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. I don't think Mr. Avery should doubt her ability."
Your fat is not enough for Gardenia to hit you. If you continue fighting, you will be the one who suffers.
Mr. Avery heard Dumbledore's subtext and felt his ribs dent where he was kicked.
"Dumbledore, I will expel this woman as a school director, as well as the brat who hurt my child!!"
Mr. Avery roared angrily, "I'm going to take this violent bitch..."
"Albus, how much money did the school directors invest in Hogwarts last year? I want to invest as well."
Jiang Li interrupted him and looked at Dumbledore.
Upon hearing this, Dumbledore responded in a cooperative manner: "Last year, all the school directors invested 400 Galleons in Hogwarts."
"If I invest one thousand Galleons in Hogwarts now, and invest four hundred Galleons every year, I wonder if I can get the position of school director." Jiang Li asked.
Dumbledore was surprised for a moment, then immediately replied without hesitation: "Of course, Hogwarts welcomes donations from kind people, and I believe the other directors will agree to this."
"Okay, I'll have someone send the money over later."
Jiang Li said with a dignified look, glancing at Mr. Avery who was full of shock, and curled his lips into a smile.
Mr. Avery thought this woman was crazy to spend so much money on Hogwarts, and more importantly, she had so much money.
He couldn't help but start to doubt whether Jiang Li was deceiving him. How could a Muggle-born have so much wealth?
Jiang Li walked up to him nonchalantly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Mr. Aifur, how is the Thunderbird that Baker Ferguson gave you?"
Avery's pupils shrank slightly.
A month ago, he had someone bring a ptarmigan from South America and raised it in a remote estate. Not many people knew about this, so why did this woman know about it?
How much does this person know?
"Who are you?"
He looked at Jiang Li with shock and fear, as if he was looking at a monster.
