Chapter 19: 'The Initiator'

The voice sounded a little ignorant, just pure emotion.

However, it was like a knife stabbed into some of the Slytherin people, and some of them had expressions that could only be described in a difficult way.

At the same time, there seemed to be a strong commotion among the Slytherin crowd.

Someone was very emotional, but they were pulled and didn't vent it.

Unfortunately, because of his height, Connor's vision was blocked by the group of seniors who were slightly outside, and he couldn't see the specific situation clearly.

"Tut-tut......"

However, his mood is still very happy, and there is no reason to disgust himself on the other side, so he has to hold back.

He just wants to make a big deal out of it, and he unconsciously makes a big deal as a first-year freshman.

The bigger, the better!

Then he made a gesture of his eyes to Ernie and Hannah, and they understood.

"Hey, don't talk about it, don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing."

They began to put on a posture over there, looking like they were trying to hold Connor, but they didn't really do anything at all.

"Huh? Why is it bad? I think the people in Slytherin were very sympathetic to Susan before, and deliberately talked about her family dying in the line of duty or something, is this something that can't be said? ”

Connor's gaze swept over the Slytherins, most of them flushed, even Headmaster Snape looked cold.

It's just that he didn't show any emotions at all.

At a glance, all Connasaw could feel was an abyss-like void, as if any emotion would be swallowed up by the abyss before it could be revealed.

But he didn't care about that, he just cared about what was happening now.

Of course he knew that not all Slytherins were like that, but since no one was telling any fair and just and waiting to see the jokes, then don't blame him for firing the map cannon here.

Gradually, the innocence on his countenance, as if he didn't understand anything, disappeared.

Without any further pretense, Connor's expression gradually became strange.

"Is that a bad thing? Yes...... So you guys were making fun of a kid from a heroic family? ”

He was only 11 years old, but when Connor's gaze swept straight ahead, many of the students wanted to retreat.

It's not because he has any oppressive power such as a domineering spirit, it's purely because they don't want to face that positive question.

This is the pressure of universal morality and a complete social order, and once it is met head-on, it will be crushed by the huge volume.

"People in an academy are making fun of family tragedies that shouldn't have happened, and I don't think Professor Snape, as a teacher, would he let that happen?"

Since no one on the Slytherin side stepped up to answer, Connor rightfully threw the pressure on the professor.

“…… This really shouldn't have happened. ”

There was a moment of silence, but Professor Snape replied in a stiff tone.

And when he spoke, Connor could feel the cloudy gaze.

Maybe the average student would feel pressure under such a gaze, but Connor wouldn't, he didn't need to be afraid.

Getting such a response from a professor is actually a kind of license.

"What about you? I'm sure you don't think this is a normal thing, do you? Or do you often make fun of such things? ”

Gemma Farley and Marcus Flint couldn't help but glance at each other.

The two prefects were clearly smart men, and from the moment Professor Snape admitted it positively, he couldn't possibly give any more attention.

This great situation has been ruined!

"Of course not."

In the end, it was Marcus who gave a positive response.

It's just that he obviously couldn't hide his emotions, and looked at Connor's expression as if he was going to eat him alive.

"But it was your prefect who got things to this point in the first place, and he even threatened us with his wand!"

"That's because our prefect has a short temper, right? Prefect? ”

"Uh-huh......"

Although he had been left to the side from the moment Connor intervened, Gabriel only looked at Connor with approval.

"Of course."

He wasn't annoyed that he was robbed of the limelight, he just smiled.

"My temper has caused me a lot of trouble since I entered school, and I would like to apologize very sincerely for my faux pas."

Facing the aggrieved gazes of the two Slytherin prefects, Gabriel bowed nondescriptly.

"I'm really a little irritable, and I shouldn't have escalated the personal conflicts between my classmates to the level of college antagonism......"

But soon, he changed his words:

"But I also hope that the student who offended the freshmen of our academy before will stand up and apologize, since everyone agrees that this is a wrong act, it shouldn't be difficult to come out and apologize, right?"

"Slytherin students don't even have the courage to admit their mistakes, and the prefects of the house shouldn't cover up their mistakes like that, right?"

At this time, even Georgina, who had been silent before, stood up, she was obviously very good, and she directly stuck the lifeblood of Slytherin House.

The two prefects of the academy looked at each other, but the previous overwhelming situation had been completely reversed.

After thinking about it for a moment, Marcus Flint made a certain decision.

He looked directly at the crowd behind him:

"Notte! You stand up! I think I've heard you insulting Miss Bones. ”

Immediately afterward, almost all of the Slytherin students got out of the way, leaving the student known as Nott feeling overwhelmed.

Flint directly shifted all the blame to him, which also exposed him directly to the Hufflepuffs' eyes.

Hundreds of Hufflepuff students stood there, their eyes clearly revealing something unkind.

"Theodore Knott."

Obviously knowing the guy, Ernie couldn't help but wrap his arms around him.

"You also have the face to mock Susan? Speaking of which, I remember that your father was caught by Susan's aunt, and my parents said that your mother was an unknown fellow who entrusted herself to an old man who could not even take care of her......"

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, Theodore's eyes turned red.

"You're not qualified to judge my mother!"

"So you have the face to point fingers at Susan's family? You Slytherins are indeed woo-woo-woo-woo......"

Ernie was visibly overwhelmed, and he was directly covered by another boy in the group and taken back into the crowd.

"Don't mess with Connor."

He whispered.

"I know ......"

Also coming back to his senses, Ernie couldn't help but sigh.

"I just don't like their attitude, Nott's father is still locked up in Azkaban...... A henchman who is a mystery man. ”

Even in the crowd, Ernie didn't mean to lower his voice in the slightest.

And when these words fell to the ears of the Slytherins, they could only be described as harsh and sharp.

As for Theodore himself, he turned his gaze at the people around him for help.

However, he was abandoned.

No one wanted to speak up for him, not even Malfoy, who he had known for a long time.

"Do what you do, take it upon yourself, Nott, and don't expect anyone else to help you with that."

Prefect Flint stopped Theodore from looking around further.

"But you were the ones who made me ...... before"

"Deadtongue seals!"

The prefect's Don stretched out his hand so that Theodore's tongue stuck to the roof of his mouth, and he could only make a sound and be unable to speak.

But before long, another ray of light struck him.

"It's over!"

It was Gabriel, who was just frowning at himself.

"That's why you Slytherins do things, and in the end you're only going to push one victim out......"

He looked at Theodore.

"What did you want to say before? If you've been deceived or something, don't worry, you can make it all clear now. ”

It's just that Theodore, who obviously had something to say before, just shook his head.

His eyes were calm again, a little cold, and the gaze that looked at his classmates was a little unfamiliar.

Finally, he walked slowly towards Susan.

"I am sorry for this, Miss Bones, and I apologize most sincerely for this, and please forgive me for my rudeness."
