Chapter 81: A Ferret

Everyone got a shiver when they heard the voice and looked in the direction it came from.

"Arthur!"

Although there was a difference to his usual gentle tone, Cho and Hermione immediately recognized the owner of the voice.

They looked at Arthur with joy as he approached step by step from the entrance.

Arthur nodded gently at them and then turned his gaze to Draco, instantly turning cold.

"Draco, would you to say that word again in front of me?"

Arthur advanced towards Draco step by step, his robes hanging without wind, exuding a sharp and strong aura.

His powerful magic targeted everyone, making them hold their breath.

At this point, Draco had already turned pale with fear. In fact, he regretted saying it as soon as the words left his mouth.

He knew that there was some vague relationship between this Gryffindor witch and Arthur.

Draco was smart; he had known since the Forbidden Forest trip last semester.

He and Arthur were not on the same level, and he was definitely not someone to mess with.

He had never had a conflict with Arthur before, but today Hermione's words were too harsh, directly hitting his sore spot, which made him speak without thinking.

Unexpectedly, this time he ran into Arthur.

Thinking about Arthur's abilities, he was even more afraid that Arthur would burn him to death.

Marcus, who was on the side, couldn't stand seeing Arthur confront Draco so arrogantly.

He took a few steps forward, his towering figure shielding Draco.

"Kid, your name is Arthur Gaunt, right? What's wrong with Draco calling her a mudblood?"

Relying on being in his seventh year and the Slytherin team captain, Marcus didn't think much of Arthur.

In his opinion, what could a genius wizard do? Arthur was just a second-year kid.

"Flipendo"

Without warning, Arthur made his move. A Knockback Jinx sent Marcus into the air and slammed him into the wall under the stand.

The tremendous force created a large mark in the wall, and Marcus could only let out a scream before losing consciousness.

Seeing Arthur take action like this, the others became angry and drew their wands, aiming at Arthur.

"Densaugeo!"

"Locomotor Mortis"

"Slugulus Eructo"

The Gryffindor team members beside them couldn't believe how the situation had got worse and couldn't react in time.

As they prepared to retaliate, the Slytherin team members' spell had already reached Arthur, and they could only watch helplessly.

"Arthur!" George and Fred called out in concern, but they soon noticed something was wrong.

All the spell stopped in mid-air, stopped in front of Arthur. With a wave of his hand, these spells reversed their paths and hit the Slytherin team members.

The impact Slytherin members suffered greatly: one person's teeth suddenly enlarged, extending down to their chin, while another person's legs went limp, causing them to uncontrollably fall to the ground.

The most unlucky person was hit with the spell Ron had intended to use earlier.

At this moment, he was lying on the ground, vomiting frantically, and a slug came out of his mouth, which was extremely disgusting.

The Gryffindor team members were stunned at first, but then they burst into laughter.

They never expected the Slytherin members to be so vain, suffering intensely from the spell they had cast.

Arthur paid no attention to their miserable state and instead looked at Draco.

By now, Draco had collapsed on the ground. When seeing Arthur's gaze, he crawled and crawled backward.

Arthur used the Levitation Charm to stop him in the air, thinking about how to punish him.

Suddenly, he remembered in the fourth film when the fake Moody, disguised as Crouch Jr., turned Malfoy into a ferret, bouncing him around like a ball.

He had an idea.

Arthur summoned a rolling cage from the ground and transformed the struggling Draco into a small ferret.

He threw the transformed Malfoy into the cage, letting him run continuously.

Arthur nodded in satisfaction.

"Arthur, are you sure about this?"

Hermione was a little worried that Arthur would be punished for this.

"Don't worry, Hermione. Draco said something extremely offensive just now, and I believe Professor Snape won't blame me when he finds out," Arthur assured her.

Not to mention his complicated relationship with Professor Snape at the moment, calling someone a "mudblood" in front of Professor Snape was completely taboo.

If Professor Snape learned that Draco used that word, Arthur was sure Draco would be in a much worse state than he is now.

"Let's go. The Transfiguration spell will wear off by tomorrow, and he'll turn back," Arthur said to Hermione and Cho, glancing at the ferret running inside the cage.

"Alright, as long as you're okay. I don't care what Draco said; after all, I don't even know the meaning of that word," Hermione nodded in agreement, calming Arthur.

She had never seen Arthur so angry before. Though the young witch enjoyed the feeling of being protected by Arthur, she didn't want him to be upset because of her.

Observing Hermione's worried expression, Arthur raised his hand and touched her fluffy hair until it was a mess, stopping only when she pouted at him.

He knew he was distracting her attention, so she wouldn't overthink it.

Arthur greeted the Gryffindor team members, helped Ron lift the spell, and then left with the two girls.

As Arthur left, the ferret in the cage made squeaking sounds, but unfortunately, no one could understand what it was saying.

Harry and the other Gryffindor team members exchanged glances.

Given the circumstances, they couldn't continue training today and had no choice but to cancel their plans, leaving the Quidditch field.

Behind were a group of injured Slytherin team members and a squeaking ferret.

...

News of this event quickly spread among the young wizards and witches.

Some Slytherin students attempted to lift the curse on Draco, but all their efforts failed.

They had no choice but to bring Draco to Professor Snape.

"What happened?" Professor Snape asked with a gloomy expression.

To openly transform one of his own students was disrespecting the head of the Slytherin house.

A few Slytherin students who had already lifted the spell exchanged glances and reluctantly repeated the incident but concealed the fact that Draco provoked first.

When Professor Snape heard that Arthur was responsible, a twitch appeared on his face. With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the Slytherin students.
