A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 537: Undercurrent in the Slytherin lounge
In the Slytherin common room, a student gives an impassioned speech.
"Look at the circular field, the familiar pattern of stars, it's exactly the same as the arena of the International Wizards Duel Competition!" Randolph said excitedly.
People in the lounge raised their heads one after another, and their gazes focused on him. It was quiet all around, only the sound of the dark green lake water slowly beating against the basement windows.
Sister Greengrass put down the quill, and sister Astoria blinked her eyes twice, as if she had discovered something interesting, she simply put the parchment, ink bottle and thick reference book in front of her Tongtong pushed it to the elder sister's side, leaning on the table with one hand and tilting his head to watch the fun, which greatly annoyed his elder sister Daphne. "Astoria, you little annoying..." Astoria made a face, causing Draco Malfoy who was opposite them to sneer, and he swaggered back on a sofa chair, Pansy took the place next to him, fiddling with an emerald green and silver bow. A little further off, Crabbe and Goyle ate a chocolate cake, the crumbs of which were sprayed on the head of Millicent Burst's cat, which whimpered, cocked its tail, and wrenched free from its master's thick arm Leaping in front of a little first-year witch, "Go away, stupid guy," she said, staring into Randolph's face fiercely.
Randolph was not too tense to speak because of the gaze, on the contrary, his voice raised unnaturally. He waved his hand vigorously, and the newspaper in his hand almost hit the eyes of the students next to him, but he didn't realize it at all, and all his attention was focused on what he was going to say next.
"This shows...my previous guesses are all correct, Professor Haipu finally no longer hides his strength!" He whispered, with obvious excitement and conclusion in his tone.
"Did he hide it?" The male student who was almost hit muttered in a low voice.
"Oh, what I mean is, if I have that kind of strength, I'd definitely wish the whole world knew about it." Randolph had a performance-like indignation on his face: "You didn't see it, some time ago Some people in the newspaper slandered the professor, saying that he just knocked down a few drunks..."
"I don't know, I didn't go to the Quidditch World Cup final." The boy said.
"I'm going!" Randolph said excitedly, "The professor is so cool! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! All the spells were coming towards him, but it stopped in mid-air strangely." He made a few random gestures, still wanting more He stopped and said, "It's a pity that the scene was too chaotic at that time, and there were not many photos left."
"I know that the professor is very powerful, but it's impossible for one to overthrow a hundred, right?" His friend looked skeptical.
"How is that impossible?" Randolph said in a low voice, "The professor saved Potter and the others from the mysterious man, and I heard that a Death Eater died at the time!"
"Randolph!" cried a student, standing up, with the same gloomy expression on his face as his companion leaning against the rough stone wall. Nott said coldly: "Pay attention to your words."
The first-year witch opened her eyes wide and suppressed her excited voice in her throat. At the same time, she calmly took out a small green book from her pocket, pushed away the fat cat that was in the way, and opened the book to find the bookmarked book. There's a page of 'Knott', looking expectantly at the brawl in the lounge.
"Mafalda! How dare you push my cat?" Millicent glared at her viciously.
"Don't be noisy," Mafalda waved his hand casually, "be careful I make you into a story..." This seemed like a terrible threat, and Millicent gave her a wincing look, and stretched out his hand. cat hugged back.
The other side——
"Did I say something wrong?" Randolph yelled at Knott: "What do you think is wrong with me?"
Nott blushed, and he tried his best to show contempt and anger: "I told you to be careful in your words and deeds, and don't talk about those great—"
"Great? Who are you referring to?" Randolph interrupted him rudely, "If I understand correctly, you want to speak for the mysterious man?"
Nott stared at Randolph angrily, but he was even more disturbed that no one in the break room stepped forward to help him. The green light from the hanging lamp above his head shone on his face, making him feel chills in his heart.
"I, not...I just think, shouldn't..." He hesitated.
"Then shut up and stop talking about your pure-blood theory," Randolph said sharply, "or I'd think someone in your family was on the side of the Death Eaters!" Winner's pose sit down. Valley
The Slytherin common room was eerily silent, except for Mafalda, who was excitedly writing and drawing on the green note... Knott, who has been promoting the idea of You-Know-Who for the past month...Suspectedly influenced by Death Eaters Influence...
The students in the lower grades were restless and silent like quails. The older ones felt a little uncomfortable. I don't know when it started. The atmosphere of Slytherin House seems to have changed.
Whatever the opinion may be, Voldemort was once a flag in Slytherin, and before him was Phineas Black, but the two flags fell one after the other until Felix Heap appeared. But their feelings for this professor are very complicated - it is said that this professor was treated unfairly by the college when he was in school, which made him unable to get close to the college. It was nothing at first, but as his influence grew , Fame is overshadowed day by day, and now it has finally reached a level that no one can ignore.
The rest of the Slytherin discomforts paled in comparison to his jaw-dropping grades.
For example, the pro-Muggle tendency that has been secretly criticized has been completely ignored under the reality of the rapid development of the "Future World" company, which is expected to be comparable to Gringotts in just over a year. There is even a voice: Professor Haipu has a unique vision, not only easily grabs a lot of wealth, but also puts on a layer of "Muggle-friendly" coat for himself...
As for what the truth is, few people care anymore.
When people mention Slytherin House, besides the legendary figures such as Salazar Slytherin and Merlin, among the wizards who are still alive, except for the one who cannot even mention the name, they are the first It wasn't Dean Snape that came to mind, but Felix Heap.
This change happened silently, and it was difficult for outsiders to detect it, but it was powerful.
One proof is: when the news of the return of the mysterious man appeared, a small group of people prepared to promote the extreme concept of pure blood in Slytherin house - just like their fathers did during the last war, the result was surprising It was found that the response was mediocre and hardly caused any waves.
It seems that there is no market for this kind of argument.
But there is only one real reason--Felix Hemp, who is regarded as the new Slytherin banner, opposes the concept of pure blood!
Even though he didn't do anything, and didn't give Slytherin students any preferential treatment, as long as he stands there, he can influence a large number of people ~IndoMTL.com~ It is still a three-year-old who makes them really realize this Year Slytherin girl, Astoria Greengrass. She said something casually: "Professor Haipu will definitely be the headmaster in the future, and he is a Slytherin, that's enough."
This sentence sparked a discussion in the entire Slytherin house. After much deliberation, they came to the conclusion that this is a big truth.
Professor Hype has nothing in front of him if he wants to.
Hmm... Maybe the only obstacle is the current headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore. This is why many people fantasize about Professor Happe fighting with Dumbledore after the rumor of the Elder Wand came out.
How much power can an invincible wand hold in the hands of Felix Hemp, who possesses a lot of ancient magic? This is an answer that terrifies anyone who has seriously considered this question. Even the greatest White Wizard recognized in this era... Can it compete with the combination of the two?
However, this kind of rhetoric gradually subsided, because Professor Haip personally refuted the rumors and denied the authenticity of the Elder Wand, which disappointed many Slytherin students.
But once an idea is born, it's hard to pretend it didn't happen.
It can be said that in the past half a month, Slytherin House experienced a surge of undercurrents, and experienced an ideological shock and baptism from top to bottom. It is also in this collective and all-round thinking that everyone has more or less their own tendencies.
Draco Malfoy watched Theodore Nott's cold reception. He felt that it was necessary to have a serious talk with his father, and Christmas this year was a good opportunity... The Malfoy family must control their own destiny, if not, then they would fall to the side destined to win.
Besides, Muggleborns are not that annoying...
