I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 38 Chu Yang VS Snape

Hermione suddenly tugged at Chu Yang's sleeve and whispered, "Can you tell me what happened? I don't believe so many people would stay in the common room all night. What's the point?"

"I heard the Slytherin common room is under the Black Lake, dark and cold. What's so fun about it?"

Hermione's thinking leans more towards that of an adult; in fact, even Professor McGonagall didn't quite believe the explanation, so she went to the infirmary as soon as get out of class ended and also visited Malfoy.

Chu Yang didn't bother to make up any reasons; he knew he couldn't hide the fact that he had assaulted someone sooner or later.

Those people were just knocked unconscious by him, not that they lost their memory.

Chu Yang simply explained in detail: "Last night they stopped me at the dormitory door, saying that I'm not a pureblood and don't deserve to stay in Slytherin. They were planning to make things difficult for me, but I was tired and sleepy at the time and just wanted to sleep. I didn't have time to play along with them, so I had to ask them all to leave."

Upon hearing this, Hermione paused, her mouth agape, staring at Chu Yang in shock as she asked, "The 'please' you're referring to... is it the 'please' we usually use?"

Chu Yang thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There is a slight difference."

"I'm afraid it's more than just a little bit, isn't it?" Hermione took a deep breath, feeling the temperature around her suddenly drop a few degrees, and asked, "Hitting a classmate will get you punished by the school, aren't you afraid?"

"Who beats up so many people? They were the ones beating me up, I was just defending myself." Chu Yang rolled his eyes and helplessly spread his hands, saying, "Were I supposed to just stand there and let them bully me?"

"That's true. They were the ones who started it!" Hermione felt a pang of sympathy when she thought about how Chu Yang was ostracized by the other Slytherin freshmen because he wasn't pure-blooded, and she couldn't help but feel indignant as well.

The two chatted about what happened last night as they walked into the classroom.

"Isn't Hermione from Gryffindor? Why is she always hanging around Chu Yang?" Ron felt uncomfortable watching Hermione and Chu Yang chatting happily.

"We're all classmates, there's no need to be so particular, right? Besides, they should have more in common, since they're both very smart and knowledgeable." Harry replied to Ron matter-of-factly, not seeing anything wrong with it at all.

Having learned from their Transfiguration lesson, the new students quickly took their seats upon entering the classroom, fearing Professor Snape's harsh reprimand.

Compared to Professor McGonagall's seriousness and meticulousness, Professor Snape gives off a terrifying and sinister feeling. It always feels like anyone who offends him will suffer a terrible punishment.

Professor Snape entered the classroom after all the students had taken their seats.

He walked with a breezy air, causing his long robe to flutter in the wind.

He might think he's handsome, but Chu Yang felt that the moment he walked in, he looked like a giant, fluttering moth...

"This course doesn't require you to blindly wave your wands or chant spells. I don't think many of you appreciate the profound science and intricate craftsmanship of potion making."

Professor Snape leaned against the lectern, making no attempt to hide the coldness on his face. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he glanced around and noticed that many students were missing.

"This isn't supposed to be the first class of the morning, is it? How come so many people are late?" Professor Snape looked at the empty seats, his voice filled with anger. "And they're Slytherin students?!"

Professor Snape slammed his hand heavily on the lectern, the loud thud startling everyone.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Professor Snape, who was about to continue berating the students, frowned. Anyone would be uncomfortable if their conversation was interrupted.

Professor Snape straightened his clothes, then walked like the wind to the door, opened it, and stood outside Professor McGonagall, who had just returned from the infirmary.

Professor McGonagall first looked into the classroom, saw Chu Yang and showed a helpless expression, then gestured for Professor Snape to come outside to talk.

As Professor McGonagall recounted the reasons for the Slytherin freshmen's absence, Snape was initially bewildered, then fell silent.

The students whispered among themselves, wondering why Professor McGonagall had called Snape out of the classroom during his lecture.

This is an age when people are very curious about everything.

About five minutes later, Professor Snape returned to the classroom with a strange expression on his face.

He didn't walk to the podium, but went straight to Chu Yang and looked at him coldly.

"Mr. Chu Yang, could you tell me how you managed to make several dorm rooms unable to attend classes the next day using only your fists?"

"I'm genuinely curious, but don't tell me someone from an orphanage like you knows Eastern Kung Fu; that's just ridiculous!"

Snape made sarcastic remarks to Chu Yang without any restraint, and his words had already caused a huge uproar in the classroom!

The reason those Slytherin students didn't come to class was because Chu Yang beat them up!

In an instant, the place was filled with noise!

Harry and Ron were speechless with astonishment, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at Chu Yang. Good heavens, he actually took down so many people all by himself?

Yesterday, Ron was telling Harry that if a non-pure-blood wizard like Chu Yang went to Slytherin, his fate would definitely be grim.

Harry was also very worried about Chu Yang's situation.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chu Yang was safe and sound this morning.

As the only two orphans in the first year, Harry would inevitably feel a sense of shared sorrow if something happened to Chu Yang.

Of the three who were penalized, Hermione was the calmest, having already learned the truth from Chu Yang. However, she was still very worried about Chu Yang, since Professor Snape seemed very angry.

Chu Yang stood up and replied calmly, "Professor Snape, I do not know kung fu, but as you said, I came from an orphanage. The geographical environment there was not good, and fighting was a compulsory course for every child."

"Furthermore, if I may be frank, a wizard who can't cast spells without a wand isn't much better than a Muggle..."

Chu Yang's comparison of Muggles and wizards directly enraged Snape.

He strode forward, almost face-to-face with Chu Yang.

"You've made a grave mistake, Mr. Chu Yang!"

Snape glared fiercely at Chu Yang and shouted, "Don't think you can solve everything with your fists. You might be able to now, but what about two or three months from now? When those freshmen you bullied pick up wands and learn spells, how will you deal with them then? Will you still use your fists?"

The confrontation between Snape and Chu Yang made the already gloomy dungeon even more unbearable. The freshmen watched the two of them with trepidation, too nervous to even breathe.
