Chapter 101 Interests unite people

The village of Hogsmeade is located above the snow line all year round, and the climate is cold and the valley wind is howling. Here, wizards generally don't take the initiative to go out at night to find themselves uncomfortable.

However, the night sky here is quite wonderful.

Just by looking up, you can see the stars embedded in the sky wall close at hand, as if you can reach out and reach for them, which is intoxicating.

At this moment, Maca is standing on a small snowy slope not far from the venue of the open-air party, staring up at the endless starry sky, quietly waiting for the moment when the party will begin.

The venue for the "Hogwarts Graduate Farewell Evening" was set by Maca outside the village of Hogsmeade, in a clearing cleared of snow.

In fact, Maca didn't go to great lengths to set it up, he commissioned Hogsmeade's steward, Hossa, to send someone to set up four long tables and a stage that wasn't too big.

That's right, it's similar to the Great Hall at Hogwarts.

But there were no four-colored courtyard flags, just large groups of shimmering little fairies, flying happily around the long table, constantly showing off their beauty.

In the open space between the long table and the stage, a bonfire was blazing, constantly emitting a warm smell - there was clearly some kind of magic hidden in it.

To be honest, it may seem a bit shabby, but Maca thinks it's like a student-organized party. It's simple, but it's free...... Just like the graduates who are about to leave school and are ready to enter the society.

At the very least, this is a beautiful vision for the graduates, and it is also a blessing with hope.

"Hey, McLean, we're almost all there!" The son of the current manager, Jossa, ran over and said.

"Okay, I'm sorry for you!"

Maca nodded, and turned to look that way.

There are a lot of people coming tonight. It seems that the choice of holding the event in the open air on the outskirts of the village is indeed a wise decision.

He paused, and then walked over to the party venue.

"Students, professors, and old students who have been invitedβ€”" Maca looked at some of the wizards in Hogsmeade, who were snickering!

Hogwarts is indeed very influential, and has produced a large number of excellent wizards for the wizarding world. It seems that in the British wizarding world, you can bump into a Hogwarts-born wizard.

Maca is really right when she says it's an "old classmate".

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Everyone, welcome to the Hogwarts Graduate Farewell Party! He raised his hands and said in a loud voice, "First of all, cheer for today's protagonists!" ”

Under the stage, everyone gathered around the bonfire, shouting excitedly, like Fred and George, the two troublemakers also seized the right time to light the fireworks with great effort, and the atmosphere of the party was ignited in an instant.

Maca had to stealthily take out her wand and hide it behind her, and cast a amplification charm on herself - no way, he had to be careful not to let Lupin recognize the wand that belonged to Blake at all.

"Maybe I should buy a wand again and use it first......"

He shook his head and continued, "We know that when we graduate, we will have to face all kinds of opportunities and challenges, and it will never be too easy for us! For the sake of our loved ones, for the sake of our families, or even simply for the sake of the Golden Galleons, we will be busy in society and at workβ€”"

"When we can't get together as often as we do now, time will make our relationship gradually dull...... I don't think that's what we want! ”

Maca paused and continued, "So, I just want to say – don't forget the good time tonight! ”

"Parting is always sad, but parting also means the joy of reunion! Think about the joys and sorrows we've experienced together in school over the years, and let go of yourself! If you want to laugh, let the laughter stop, if you want to cry, let the tears flow out, and let it become an unforgettable memory for our lifetime! ”

Under the stage, the graduating students hugged each other, and the younger students who originally planned to come to have a good time were also infected by the parting mood, and a few female students with low tears had already sobbed.

"Finally, I want to say - today, we are all Hogwarts!" Maca shouted.

"We are all Hogwarts β€”β€”!"

The little wizards shouted, and even the professors couldn't help but redden.

"We're all Hogwarts! How well McLean said it! The short Professor Flitwick blew his nose and huddled together with Hagrid, wiping tears of emotion.

Professor McGonagall wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand, and she looked at the students in the room, feeling their simple emotions, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

It has to be mentioned that Snape is also here today.

He still had the same cold expression, looking at the students, and glancing at the maca on the stage from time to time, revealing a thoughtful expression.

Speaking of which, though, Slytherin students are noticeably calmer. Many of them are pure-blood wizards with family education, and they really can't do such a thing as holding each other together and crying.

But after all, they are still students, and after a long time together, classmates will also have a corresponding friendship.

These little snakes, who are usually frivolous or arrogant, have also gathered into several groups at this moment, communicating with each other, although they are more polite, but they are also expressing their feelings in their own way.

Just then, Maca stepped down from the stage.

"Seniors, good evening!" He walked over to the circle of Slytherin graduates and gave a calm salute, "I send my best wishes to all of you for your upcoming graduation. ”

"I don't think we need your blessing!"

It was Marcus Flint, captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team, and behind him, several members of the team joined in.

She hadn't seen him since the last time Maca scared him away.

Oh yes! Flint has already repeated a grade once, and I don't know if he will be able to graduate this year.

Although he spoke now, there was still a hint of arrogance in his tone, but the nervous look had already leaked his bottom - he was still a little frightened about what happened last time!

Around them, the other Slytherin students were all looking at each other in groups, but they didn't agree with Flint's words.

Maca glanced at him faintly and said calmly, "Are you qualified to speak on behalf of Slytherin?" ”

He noticed that when he said this, the Slytherins who were watching all glanced coldly at Flint. Obviously, in the shrewd and ambitious Slytherin House, there is hardly anyone who becomes a real "student head".

With that in mind, he continued, "Obviously, you don'tβ€”a discredited heir like you might not even be qualified to stand in Slytherin. ”

"What do you say! You mud-"

Maca turned her head sharply, her cold gaze piercing Flint's eyes, and he snorted coldly, "Are you asking about my bloodline?" Did you know that the Sorting Hat was considering sorting me into Slytherin in the first place? ”

In Flint's surprised and inexplicable expression, Maca's eyes suddenly became much sharper.

He slowly swept the faces of the little snakes around him, and then said calmly, "Do you understand the purpose of Salazar Slytherin's establishment of the Academy?" Any idea why he insists on a pureblood view? ”

He paused, waiting for the Slytherin students to look at him quizzically before he continued.

"It's power! It's unity! It's a unified will! Maca looked at them with blazing eyes and said, "Of course, there are also interests that continue and intertwine!" ”

He could feel that the eyes of the partially shrewd Slytherins had come alive.

What Maca said was tempting in the heart of the ambitious Slytherin. But there was one thing he didn't say, and that was - in the wizarding world, it's all built on great strength!

If there is no corresponding strength to support it, then everything that is built on the surface will not be reliable.

Just like Gellert Greenwald, the first Dark Lord who reached the pinnacle of power, he was completely defeated by Dumbledore in the end. And Greenwald's power immediately collapsed and ceased to exist.

Just as the Slytherins were staring at Maca with different expressions, he changed his words and said, "But! Before we can do it, we must understand that Hogwarts is a school of witchcraft and wizardry founded by the Big Four. Think about it! After graduation, if someone asks us, how will we answer? ”

"Is it 'I'm from Slytherin at Hogwarts' or 'I'm from Hogwarts'?" Maca snorted, "At least, I don't want people to see the joke that we're still divided within Hogwarts-"

"You don't need to say more!" Several Slytherin graduates argued.

Maca spread her hands and said meaningfully: "Therefore, only by uniting together can we reap stable benefits, and making more friends will be beneficial to our own future and the future of our family." ”

He raised his hand and gestured to the other three academies.

"And voila! There are also a lot of pure-blood descendants over there, so why not let go of the prejudices of the academy? ”

In fact, although Slytherin values profit and knows how to protect themselves, many of them have a deep affection for Hogwarts. During the First Wizarding War, a number of Slytherin wizards fought for Hogwarts, and some even lost their lives in the process.

At this time, Maca's remarks were undoubtedly inspiring that part of the people at the same time, and inciting those other students with different thoughts.

When he had said this, he didn't look at them again, but turned and walked towards the students of the other three houses by the campfire.

Behind him, the snakes all looked at the students who were partying around the campfire. Before long, several nimble students had already taken steps towards the side where Maca was.

"Humph! Let's go back to school! Flint snorted resentfully and addressed the team behind him. But he didn't expect that two team members hesitated for a moment, and then slowly avoided his eyes.
