215. Percy Weasley's Choice
Even with Dumbledore's help in nominating, the Order of Merlin was not available so quickly and required a lengthy review.
It took several months for the first year to apply for the third-level medal, and that was still thanks to the relationship of the Carlo family, and the review process of the first-level medal would only be more cumbersome than that of the third-level medal, and the Wizengamot would have to go through several rounds of meetings just to discuss this matter, and it would be fast to come down before the end of the third-year semester.
In yet another Fantastic Beast conservation class, Hagrid brings the good news that the hybrid carnivorous slug eggs that had been taking more than two months have finally hatched.
Small, soft-shelled slugs crawled around the chests, devouring the fruits and leaves Hagrid had scattered.
This is the first magical snail in the wizarding world.
Unfortunately, even if the cultivation was successful, it still could not meet the requirements of Dali, and he could only let Hagrid continue to help train the next generation.
I have to say that Hagrid really has no one in the social circle of magical beasts, and almost any kind of magical creature can get it.
In the last lesson, he got a human-headed sphin-tailed mantikin (Manticor), a creature that is even more dangerous than a griffin (danger is not equal to combat power), and like most 5X-level magical creatures, this thing likes to feed on people.
However, he was also well-behaved in front of Hagrid, and did not attack the other little wizards.
Originally, Hagrid had planned to get an egg or hatchling from Kemeramon, but was persuaded by Dudley.
The menacing Kemeramon is taller than the human-headed sphinx manticore.
The main reason is that this thing has too low intelligence, and it is bloodthirsty and violent, and it is very easy to have an accident if it is crazy and does not recognize its six relatives.
Changed to a few fire crabs.
Hagrid had been thinking about this for a long time.
In the next class, he said he was going to get a Sphinx.
Dudley wrote down all the magical creatures that Hagrid had mentioned, and when the domestication level was raised, he found an opportunity to pack them and take them away.
At the end of the day, the members of the disciplinary team gathered to discuss everyone's goals for the semester.
A figure came in front of him, and after hearing their conversation, he immediately lowered his head and leaned sideways, as if he intended to avoid them.
"Percy. I've approached you several times and I think we should talk. ”
Dudley paused as he was about to pass the figure, turned to look at the man, and said.
It was none other than the former Gryffindor prefect and current president of the male student council - Percy Weasley
A young wizard who was also selected by the disciplinary group.
Percy saw that she was recognized, and stood there with a slightly awkward smile.
Dudley told the others to go back first, and he and Percy found a suitable place to talk, this time not in the Slytherin common room, but in a random room in the castle.
Pushing open the door, I saw a white transparent shadow in the locker in the center, pouting and rummaging for something inside.
"Are you daring to disturb Peeves-sama?"
Hearing the door open, the white transparent shadow turned around, and was about to get angry, but when he saw that it was Dudley, he immediately changed his face.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Dursley."
Percy heard a flattering hint in his tone.
Peeves has no scruples in Hogwarts, the ghosts are annoying him, the little wizards are afraid of him, and even the castle keeper Filch has a big headache for him, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, and belongs to the level of a little overlord.
In addition to not actively provoking professors, he usually only sells three people. Two people have the face of one soul.
Ghost – Barrow the Bloody, Headmaster – Dumbledore and Dudley Dursley.
"I have something to talk about with Mr. Weasley, I don't want to be disturbed, can Mr. Peeves stand guard outside the door for us?"
Dudley looked at Peeves and said, his tone very flat.
"It's a pleasure." Peeves immediately assured, obediently opened the door, and slipped out.
Percy couldn't help but give him a second look, and Peeves sometimes didn't even give the professor face when he got up.
The most important point is that others really can't do anything about him, and the method of dealing with ghosts is completely useless to him.
But the thought of Mr. Dursley's makes sense
Dudley clapped his hands, and two stone benches rose out of thin air.
"Sit."
Percy sat down slightly nervously.
"Percy, I remember inviting you to join the disciplinary team at the beginning of the semester, but you still haven't given me a positive reply."
"Can you tell me why?"
Percy opened his mouth, but did not speak, and was silent.
Why? Of course, because he is now the male student council president.
From the time Hogwarts Wizards enter their fifth year, each house will have a male prefect and a female prefect, and this is true for each year from fifth to seventh years.
At the same time, every year in the seventh grade, a male student council president and a female student student council president are born.
The student president, appointed directly by the president, is theoretically the pinnacle of power among students.
Although Dudley set up a disciplinary team two years ago, and theoretically directly manages the student council and prefect, according to the current time, he is not in charge of the seventh-grade student council.
Joining the disciplinary team means giving up the position of male student president.
He's graduating after this year.
I can't wait for the day when the power of the disciplinary group is at its peak, and the male student president is the real power.
Percy craves power.
His thirst for power is actually very understandable, the Weasleys have had too many children, and his father Arthur is a very Buddhist person, resulting in the Weasleys being poor, and their lives are also very poor and embarrassed, as can be seen from Ron's frequent self-deprecation that he can't find a sico in his pocket.
Percy didn't want that kind of life.
In his opinion, the status of the Hogwarts Male Student Council is a huge plus when he looks for a job after graduation. It will undoubtedly make his career smoother.
Maybe many students who haven't graduated think so, but actually. That's.
If you want to get power as soon as possible, others will not look at how you are in school, your ability is a plus but not necessary, the important thing is to see how you are at home
The great sage Brother Xun has a good saying: 'When you come out to mix, you must have power and background. Otherwise, it's just a little deflated. ’
If you can't rely on your own family, then find a way to join others, which is the so-called opportunity (meeting nobles).
The Discipline Group is actually a good way to do it, and during the holidays, he has already helped many recent seniors find jobs in the Ministry of Magic.
"I'll give you three days, and if you've thought it through, feel free to come to Slytherin and find me."
Dudley didn't talk to Percy for long, just gave him a brief nudge and left.
To be honest, Percy's personal ability is still good, otherwise Dudley would not have recruited him into the disciplinary group.
As for whether Percy can come to his senses, it only depends on his personal creation.
Opportunities are important, but whether you can grasp them is even more important.
Three days later, Percy knocked on Dudley's door with mixed feelings.
