Chapter 136

"I am very sorry, Mr. Filch."

Xiang Xien said in a low, sincere voice.

Xiang Xien did not hate or resent Mr. Filch like other young wizards,

for this caretaker, Xiang Xien believed his behavior was understandable.

Just as he wouldn't think Professor Sineipu should be responsible for this, he could only blame his own progress for being too slow, otherwise, it wouldn't have dragged on until this time.

However, Xiang Xien still felt a sense of loss; working hard for nearly a month only to fall at the last step, this feeling was not pleasant.

Xiang Xien saw Filch, after being stunned for a while, go back to writing the report viciously.

This gave Xiang Xien a glimmer of hope.

As everyone knows, the execution of Hogwarts' school rules is very flexible, for the same thing, such as night-wandering.

Professor Maige would ruthlessly deduct points and add detention in bad situations, such as Harry and the others deceiving Nawei, and Malfoy's night-wandering (the professor thought so at the time).

At that time, she stood tall in front of the three of them, and Harry thought the professor was more likely to breathe fire than Norbert.

But in normal situations, the professor would not put students in detention;

and then there's Professor Fuliwei; Xiang Xien felt that as long as he explained well, the professor wouldn't put him in detention;

not to mention Professor Sprout; even if the Hufflepuffs went out to make mistakes and fight, the professor would only scold them, but would still secretly give the children a box of coconut ice cream; this Head of House was always like the warm sun in winter.

Thinking this way, as long as it wasn't reported to Professor Sineipu, Xiang Xien wouldn't be caught by a certain Potions Master and put in detention to "practice potions."

After all, Professor Sineipu was very dissatisfied with his recent "slacking off"...

No!

Xiang Xien suddenly had a glimmer of suspicion; could his forced night-wandering this time also be in Professor Sineipu's plan?

Xiang Xien remembered that Professor Sineipu seemed to have a good relationship with Mr. Filch; in the original work, Professor Sineipu's bite wound was treated by Filch.

Could he... have been set up by the professor...

What Xiang Xien didn't know was that this was a setup within a setup.

Well, verifying this was very simple; just see who Mr. Filch was preparing to report to.

Just as Xiang Xien was nervous, a loud noise came from the ceiling of the office, and the oil lamp was shaken until it rattled.

"Peeves!"

Filch roared, and in a fit of anger, he threw away the quill,

"This time I definitely won't let you off!"

Taking advantage of this time, Xiang Xien quickly leaned over to look at the half-filled form.

A big initial S was written on the form, and Xiang Xien sighed silently.

But besides that, there was another thing on the desk: a bulging purple envelope with some silver words printed on it.

Xiang Xien could only think about how much possibility he had to practice spells in the dungeon, and finally, he sighed long again.

At this moment, a cold wind blew from the window, and the letter was about to be blown off; Xiang Xien quickly caught it, and a few big words were written on the purple envelope:

【Quick-Spell Magic Correspondence Course Invitation Letter】.

Xiang Xien probably knew what kind of letter this was, so his emerald eyes lit up again.

He remembered that in the original work, Harry discovered this letter and was then let go by Mr. Filch.

Didn't expect Mr. Filch to be looking at it so early...

While Xiang Xien was in a daze, a vigorous figure darted into the room and jumped gracefully onto the wooden table.

It was Mrs. Norris; her claws tore open the letter in one go:

【Do you feel like you can't keep up with the rhythm of the modern magical world?

Do you find yourself making excuses not to perform simple magic?

Have you been mocked for your clumsy wand technique?

The answer is here! Quick-Spell is a foolproof, fast-acting, simple, and easy-to-learn brand-new course.

Hundreds of wizards have already benefited from Quick-Spell!

The annoying lady from Top Mountain wrote:

"I can't remember spells, and the potions I brew are mocked by the whole family! Now, after studying a Quick-Spell course, I have become the center of attention at parties, and friends are asking me for the recipe for Sparkling Potion!"

The troublemaker wizard from Ditzbury said:

"My wife used to mock my clumsy magic, but after studying in your magical Quick-Spell class for a month, I successfully turned her into a yak! Thank you, Quick-Spell!"】

Watching Mrs. Norris's tail sweep over the letter, she "meowed" at the wall again.

Xiang Xien immediately understood the meaning of this clever lady.

"Scourgify!"

Xiang Xien waved his wand, and the stains on the wall disappeared in a patch; his wand tip kept flashing light, and the stains on the wall decreased one by one.

At the same time, Xiang Xien also thoughtfully used the Levitation Spell to reorganize the messy room, and some collapsed large items were also stacked up by Xiang Xien.

When everything was finished, Xiang Xien started panting again.

Mrs. Norris jumped onto Xiang Xien's shoulder and rubbed her head affectionately against Xiang Xien's cheek.

Under the dim oil lamp, the person and the cat leaned gently together.

"The noise above was also made by you, Madam... happy cooperation."

Xiang Xien felt his cheek was a bit itchy; Mrs. Norris's tail had stood up at some point.

"Purr——"

【You have gained the closeness of the magical creature Kneazle (Mrs. Norris) with the Skilled standard, proficiency +10】

"Did you—did you look—?"
