After leaving the Headmasters Office, Karl did not return to the Hufflepuff common room or dormitory.
Because he was hauled directly to the Gryffindor Dean's office by Professor McGonagall.
"Write a reflection?"
Karl stared at Professor McGonagall, dumbfounded, simply unable to believe his ears.
"That's right. Reflect on your reckless behavior tonight, discuss your understanding of danger, as well as the correct way to handle danger, how to protect yourself, and so on."
Professor McGonagall picked up her wand and gave it a gentle flick, turning the two sofas in front of the fireplace into a large bed.
"Finally, remember to write a letter of guarantee as well, promising that you will not make such a mistake again. After you finish writing, you will sleep here. If you are hungry, there is food in the desk drawer."
Karl: (0 _ ⊙)
How could this be? I've already been beaten up! Shouldn't this matter be over and done with?
"Can I just give a verbal reflection and guarantee?"
"No, because it needs to be kept as evidence, lest you forget it as soon as you say it."
Professor McGonagall placed her hands on Karl's shoulders, looked directly into his eyes, and said softly: "Please forgive my selfishness, child, don't make me worry again, okay?"
When Dumbledore mentioned Karl coming into contact with Lord Voldemort, her heart had tightened.
Karl suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable, his nose aching, "Alright, Minerva, I promise."
"That's good."
Professor McGonagall ruffled Karl's hair and turned to walk toward the bedroom, her voice trembling slightly.
"I am very sorry, I didn't control my temper earlier, I was just—afraid."
Karl watched her back, his fingers almost twisted into a pretzel.
"Actually, I don't mind at all."
"Thank you, Karl, good night."
"Good night, Minerva."
After the door closed, Karl walked gently to the desk and sat down.
Whether it was the Professor McGonagall from just now, or the angry Professor McGonagall who beat him, both made him want to cry.
Sigh, I miss my mom.
Karl sat blankly for a while before picking up his pen to start writing the reflection and the letter of guarantee.
First, never act impulsively; Second, absolutely never miss any—cross it all out!
Pulling his hair into a bird's nest with both hands, Karl quickly focused his mind and began to write furiously, finishing everything in no time.
When he lay down on the bed ready to sleep, he suddenly remembered one thing.
Damn! Where is Fire Treasure?
Just as Karl was about to turn over and get up, he suddenly felt a stir in his heart, and Fire Treasure appeared out of thin air in front of him.
This counted as a semi-spatial teleportation; Fire Treasure's method of movement was flight, and only when returning to Karl's side could it do this.
"You still know how to come back?"
"Ji~"
Fire Treasure pounced on him, rubbing its cheeks against Karl's, skillfully beginning to win him over with cuteness.
"Where is Fawkes?"
"Ji~"
"Ah? Sent away by the Principal to deliver a letter?"
Dumbledore said he needed more help; could it be that the operation has already started?
It seems he, like Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, is also worried about the safety of the students at Hogwarts.
Karl didn't really care now; he had only had a headache at first because he was intimidated by names like Sun God, Death Goddess, Craft God, and the like.
Later, what Dumbledore said made him realize that these so-called Tuatha Dé Danann are not invincible.
Although they are called gods, they might not necessarily be a match for his own demigod power in his Phoenix form.
What Karl is worried about now is his future life—will beating the young ones bring out the old ones, and then have minions coming to cause trouble every few days?
Since they call themselves a god race, there are probably quite a few of them; it's basically like poking a hornet's nest.
"Ji~"
Fire Treasure, whispering, rolled around on Karl's body, warm and very comfortable.
"Fawkes suspects I am a Phoenix?"
Although the wall of fire blocked the view, the aura of the Ice Crystal Phoenix was still detected by Fawkes.
"What did you say?"
