Filch finally adjusted his mentality: There are ghosts, centaurs, and fire dragons in this world, so why can't there be talking wolves?
"You little guy, why are you so careless?" Filch did not get angry and took Lovell to the office to punish him severely as he said. He just muttered a few words.
Filch probably did this because the guy who made the mistake was a cute little wolf, and if he were an ordinary student, he would already be receiving punishment.
After complaining about Lovell, Filch suddenly realized something. He looked down at the wolf cub and asked, "You have a bad stomach, too? I happen to have a potion there to treat stomach problems. Just wait for me for a while, and I'll give it to you."
you take."
Filch left these words and asked Mrs. Norris to take care of the wolf cub for him for a while, then shuffled away.
Looking at Filch's somewhat staggering steps, Lovell couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Filch is actually a warm-hearted person."
Mrs. Norris nodded, but then sneered: "Don't jump to conclusions so early. He doesn't have much patience with students. He can even be called a bad person."
"Huh?" Lovell became interested. During the brief contact, it felt that Filch was a cold-faced and kind-hearted person. Would such a person really treat students with a bad attitude?
Seeing Lovell's curiosity, Mrs. Norris also shared some of Filch's past deeds with him.
"So his idea of hanging students from the ceiling and beating them was serious?" Lovell was shocked when he heard this.
Mrs. Norris nodded.
"Hey...that's not the case, is it? Does he have any grudge against the students?" The wolf cub took a breath of cold air.
Hearing the wolf cub's question, Mrs. Norris stared at Lovell with her big eyes and said slowly: "Do you know who Mr. Filch is?"
The wolf cub frowned, and a thought flashed through his mind: Could it be that Filch has a high status in the school, so he can act unscrupulously? Just like the high-ranking wolves in the wolf pack, they can bully the lower ones at will.
Wolf clan.
The hierarchy within the wolf clan is strict. There is almost no reason for the superiors to suppress and humiliate the lower-ranking ones. The wolf king will not interfere - it will even acquiesce in having a wolf in the wolf clan specifically for everyone to vent their anger on. The upper-ranking wolf passes on to the lower-ranking wolf
Control to reflect one's majesty, such as priority eating rights and mating rights.
Well, if you are not good enough in a wolf pack, you will not even be able to find a wife, and even if you find one, you will not be able to keep her. Little female wolves are quite realistic. In a wolf pack, strength is everything.
It's just that Lovell has completely misunderstood. Filch has no status, or in other words, his status is so low that Lovell can hardly imagine it.
"He is a squib." Mrs. Norris said quietly.
"Mute...what?" This was the first time the wolf cub heard this term.
"Squibs," Mrs. Norris repeated, "refers to those people who were born in wizarding families but have no magical talent."
Lovell vaguely noticed something.
"The most tragic thing in the world is not that you will never see the light of day, but that you have seen the light but can only live in the darkness." Mrs. Loris said in a slightly hoarse voice: "It's hard for you to imagine Ague.
What on earth has Si experienced?”
As the famous saying goes: I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light. Being a Muggle is not a particularly miserable thing. There are seven billion people in the world, but only a few hundred thousand wizards.
One in a million.
But what if you know the magical world but can't integrate into it? That would be really miserable.
Filch was such a person. The door to the magical world was opened to him. After he witnessed the dazzling beauty inside, the door was closed again. No matter how hard he knocked, the door to the magical world did not open even a crack.
I don’t know whether it was luck or misfortune, but Filch also became the castle administrator of Hogwarts. He was surrounded by talented little wizards. He pursued what he had been unable to achieve in his lifetime, and the little wizards were born with it and could easily get it.
This psychological gap can be imagined.
Perhaps it was in this kind of life that Filch's heart was twisted. He was jealous of these students, and at the same time he hated them for wasting their talents and wasting their time, so he would impose the harshest punishment on every little wizard who violated the school rules.
.In Filch’s mind, he may have fantasized about the scene of him sitting in a classroom learning magic countless times, right?
Lovell is still young and ignorant, and it is difficult for him to fully understand Filch's situation. But he instinctively feels that Mr. Filch is a poor man.
"It's okay, he will feel better if you are with him - humans like to stroke our fur, and getting along with us can effectively improve their mood!" The wolf cub made a suggestion to Mrs. Loris. It knew
, the soft fur on his body is a good medicine to dispel depression. With Mrs. Norris by his side, Filch's mood may improve.
"Yes," Mrs. Loris nodded empathetically, "I sometimes help him catch a few students to relieve his anxiety."
Wolf cub:???
Lovell:Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
For a while it thought it had heard wrongly.
Didn't Mrs. Norris know that what Filch was doing was wrong? Why did she still help him bully those poor students?
"Filch is my master. I don't care whether what he does is right or wrong. As long as it makes him happy, why not do it?" Mrs. Norris looked indifferent.
In her eyes, it doesn't matter whether it's justice or not. What's important is that her Argus can be happy.
'Really twisted values.' Lovell complained about Mrs. Norris in his heart, and then a thought came out like a weed, growing and spreading crazily in his heart - if Hermione wants to do something incorrect,
What should I do?
The wolf cub shook his head, thinking that this was not a problem at all. How could Hermione do something wrong? This problem was fundamentally unfounded!
"Wait a minute," Lovell suddenly found an opportunity to persuade Mrs. Norris, "you said you don't want to make Mr. Filch sad?"
"Yes." Mrs. Loris nodded matter-of-factly.
"But if you died of illness, he would definitely be very sad, right?" the wolf cub said thoughtfully. Although the disease of chronic renal failure carries the word "chronic", it can also kill cats.
.
Mrs. Norris was stunned.
What Lovell said makes sense. He is usually very worried when he catches a cold. If he dies, wouldn't Argus be devastated?

Note: Filch is a very special character, he is very pitiful, but his heart is indeed twisted enough.
