Chapter 50: Rivalry

The Slytherins were silent, their hearts like a suppressed volcano, but anger could not be vented.

At this moment, they could only silently endure the ridicule and ridicule of the students from other houses, and tell themselves in their hearts - Slytherin, supreme.

But......

But, I can't bear it, if I hold my breath down, it will really suffocate people and drive people crazy. Gryffindor Hod could add more than 300 points in one breath and counterattack Slytherin, which had worked hard for a whole year.

Dumbledore's actions immediately pushed all the Slytherin students against him.

He always said that Slytherin had too many thoughts and was too heavy to discipline, and that the Slytherin students did not worship him like the students of other houses, but rather were quite hostile to him.

It can be said that Slytherin is the outlier in the whole of Hogwarts, and they are always out of step with the other three houses, which is unpleasant.

Although the Slytherin students were generally among the best in the four houses, Dumbledore was not reassured.

On the contrary, because of their excellence, Dumbledore was wary, worried that there would be another Dark Lord among them.

But how did Dumbledore do it himself?

Usually when it comes to justice, when it comes to Gryffindor, or when it comes to Harry Potter, can he be called selfless in what he does?

Sephiroth didn't think there was anything wrong with Dumbledore's move, but he would have done it if he had the right to do it. Moreover, compared to Slytherin's stepmother, Gryffindor is his own son, and all of them are his fanatical followers, and Dumbledore doesn't help anyone with them.

However, understanding is understanding, and this does not mean that Sephiroth will swallow this anger like this.

Speaking from his heart, although Dumbledore didn't take these Slytherin students into account when he did this, but considering Dumbledore's reputation and strength, did he need to take care of such inconsequential pawns as Sephiroth?

The answer is, no.

Today, Dumbledore has unrivaled strength and boasting fame in the world, and it is not the turn of a few students to dictate what he wants to do.

Knowing this, the Slytherin table fell silent, and it became clear to them that it was no longer possible for them to meddle in the matter at this point.

Perhaps the only person who could interfere with Dumbledore's decision now was Professor Snape, the head of Slytherin.

Draco looked at Snape with hope, hoping that he would step up and get a breath of relief for Slytherin.

Unfortunately, Snape sat there stiffly as if he hadn't seen the expectant gazes of the Slytherin students below, and said nothing about Dumbledore's decision.

Hopes are dashed.

By this time, even the most stupid people would understand that Snape would not interfere in this matter.

Power and liliang have always been something that Slytherin believes in, and it is also something they have been obsessively pursuing, but they have been criticized by Dumbledore.

The Slytherin students present all pointed at Dumbledore and asked him, "Don't you preach love and justice?" Don't you keep saying that the pursuit of liliang and rights is not haode? But don't you still oppress us with power and liliang now? Is it wrong for us to pursue rights and liliang, and it is right for you to use rights and liliang to deprive us of our benefits?

A crisp applause actually suppressed the noisy cheers in the auditorium, and several wizards in gorgeous costumes walked slowly at the door of the auditorium.

At the Gryffindor table, the cheering students gathered their smiles and cries slightly, feeling that things might be about to change again.

This is?

Draco jerked to his feet, speechless in shock, unable to believe what his eyes were seeing.

Pale blonde hair, cold pale gray eyes, and a pale pointed face. The people who came were Lucius Malfoy, and the patriarch of several wizarding families who were quite out of the pure-blood wizards. Draco recognized a few people, Sephiroth's father, the patriarch of House Stirling, Goyle and Crabbe's father, and the patriarchs of several powerful pure-blood wizarding families.

How did these people get together?

Looks like something is going to happen!

Draco's heart twitched a few times, he knew that his father was definitely the one who went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, especially at Hogwarts, which was almost overrun by Dumbledore, and he would never come if there was nothing to do. This time, he actually brought so many companions here, it was definitely a plan.

"It's rare to come back, it seems that the time is just right. It really made us watch a wonderful farce! ”

Lucius walked in through the door of the Great Hall with a snake-headed cane on his shoulder, his face full of mockery and disdain.

"Lucius, I didn't know you were coming to this dinner, I'm sorry I couldn't prepare your seats in advance."

Dumbledore's tone was not very good, and at this time Lucius arrived, saying that he did not believe that there was no plan.

"Don't daoqian, we're not here to eat. I don't like this kind of food, it's too oily! ”

Lucius poked the plate on the Gryffindor table next to him with his silver snake cane, shaking his head disdainfully. His Excellency the Great Stirling took the opportunity to glance at Sephiroth, and it was obvious that there had been communication between the two of them.

"Hey, dad, what are they here for, don't you know? What the hell are you doing? ”

Draco stabbed his hand under the table, glaring into Sephiroth's eyes without blinking, as if he had decided he was responsible.

"Hmm- you're getting smarter, Draco. Look at it, it wouldn't be fun if you knew. ”

Sephiroth held up a goblet full of grape juice and raised it to his eyes, looking at the distorted figure of Dumbledore through the reddish color, and said slowly.

"Malfoy, what are you doing here? This is not the place for you! ”

Professor McGonagall didn't like the twists and turns, and she asked Lucius directly.

"No, no, Minerva, don't get excited. Of course we can come here, and we have the right to do so. Don't forget, we're Hogwarts Governors, and we're the real owners of this place. Every year, tens of thousands of gold gallons are invested in supporting education, paying salaries to all of you, and relieving the burden of studying for students. ”

Lucius glanced at Professor McGonagall contemptuously and complained casually.

However, the impact of Lucius's words was huge, and the students of the other three houses, except for Slytherin, all looked shocked and whispered. It was the first time they had heard of this, and they had never known that the owner of Hogwarts was not Headmaster Dumbledore, but the obnoxious Slytherin parents.

"Neville, Ron, is this true?"

Harry's mouth opened in surprise as he asked his friend who he thought might be aware of the question.

"It should be true." Neville winced and hesitated, as if he wasn't sure, "It is said that our Longbottom family used to be one of the trustees of Hogwarts a few decades ago, but not anymore, we don't have that much money. ”

"We've never heard of Weishenme?"

Hermin asked curiously, there were few private school students who didn't even know who everyone in their school was.

"I don't know about this." Newi Murne scratched his head, but the corner of his eye seemed to sneak a glance at the professorship above, intentionally or unintentionally.

Hermione was secretly frightened, this must be someone with great power and prestige in the school who secretly manipulated all the students. The man deliberately touched on all this information, just not to let the students understand that in fact, the school had always relied on Slytherin support to survive.

Hogwarts is an industry, but it is not a money-making industry, but it needs to pour nearly 10,000 gold gallons into it every day. Part of this money was used for the professor's salary and the cost of maintaining the castle, and part of the tuition and food expenses for the students.

The food and drink of the students at Hogwarts, as well as the potions and herbs that are usually spent in class, where is the tuition enough.

If the students knew about it, would they be so bold when they faced the Slytherin students? There is an old Chinese saying, "Take people with short hands, eat people with soft mouths", but they eat and take.

"Oh, of course. It's just that there doesn't seem to be anything happening at this time for the board to care about......"

McGonagall was a little speechless, and since ancient times, few people can be tough on money. Faced with the rich man who was in charge of the wages of herself and others, McGonagall was also a little hesitant.

"None? So what was the matter just now? We've been told by students that someone is abusing their power at Hogwarts? For the emergence of such moth-eaten scum in the mother school, our board of directors attaches great importance to it. ”

Patriarch Stirling glared at McGonagall, and it was impossible to take them for fools. This was an opportunity to weaken Dumbledore's reputation, and if he didn't take it, Lucius wouldn't be the leader of pure-blood wizards.

The relationship between pure-blood wizards and Dumbledore has long been almost torn apart, and no family will watch Dumbledore take the benefits that belong to them from his hands. Before, there was no chance, and there was no union in advance, and now when they have been prepared, how can they give up.

"There are absolutely no such people in Hogwarts!"

McGonagall naturally knew what these pure-blood wizards were here for, she was Dumbledore's man, and she had to fight for him even if it was unreasonable.

"Oh, is it? But how did I just hear that someone is using the power of the president to give random points in favor of a certain college? Come on, Potter and Weasley, tell us what you did to do something great. ”

Crabbe and Patriarch Goyle stood side by side, smiling at Gryffindor's long table.

By this time, even the students knew that these wizards who had suddenly arrived had bad intentions. Faced with the forced gaze of these adult wizards, Ron suddenly lowered his head in a panic and did not dare to speak.

"Enough, don't argue in front of the students, what else is it like. What they did, come to my office, and I can tell you in detail. ”

Dumbledore couldn't sit still, he couldn't let Lucius spoil his good deeds. But when both sides are on the spurt, who cares about him.

"That's not good, why don't you tell everyone about it here, I think the students are curious about what Potter did."

Lucius naturally won't take Dumbledore's threat in his eyes, although he is not an opponent in a frontal fight, but if he engages in conspiracy and calculation, can you still fight the entire pure-blood family alliance alone?
