Most of the young wizards returned to their dormitories, but there were still some Slytherins who consciously stayed in the common room.
Noah and Eve are naturally among this group.
Not long after, the prefect appeared in the common room again, and he glanced at everyone in the common room.
The sixth and seventh graders were all there, the third, fourth and fifth graders had chosen their own leaders, and the first and second graders had all been sent back to their dormitories by him.
Then the next step is Slytherin's internal meeting.
The student union is gone, so the prefects are the ones who stay here.
"So, does anyone know the news?" The prefect sat down on the only empty seat next to the fireplace, with his legs folded on his lower abdomen.
After everyone was silent for a moment, a sixth grader spoke up: "It was said that the fire in the Forbidden Forest was caused by a dark wizard."
No one in the Slytherins questioned it. Although it was said to be unconfirmed gossip, the source was that an experienced Auror recognized the spell that caused the fire. The Ministry of Magic and the school blocked the matter together, so it became The tacit gossip within Slytherin.
"You are saying that this matter has something to do with the dark wizard?"
"After all, trolls don't appear in the castle for no reason."
There is only one possibility - it was brought in by someone else.
"There are not many secret passages that can accommodate trolls," said Noah, who is considered to be the person who knows the school's secret passages best, "but there is no one that leads directly to the bathroom on the second floor. So the trolls did not come in directly through the secret passages."
The prefect quickly realized what he wanted to say: "You mean, someone subdued the troll and brought it in through the box?"
"Maybe tame."
It is much more difficult to capture a troll than to kill one.
Although trolls are basically brainless, it is extremely difficult to subdue them. Those big guys with only brute strength can resist the magic of wizards to a certain extent. It is basically impossible to cast a shrinking spell to reduce the size of people without resistance from trolls. Put it in a box.
All the Slytherins subconsciously closed their mouths and exchanged glances with each other.
A dark wizard brought a troll into the castle. What does this mean? Someone is doing something in the castle right under the nose of the most powerful wizard.
Many people's eyes changed. This was a ready excuse to criticize Principal Dumbledore.
Well, it is true that the young wizards all admit that Dumbledore is the most powerful wizard in the wizarding world, but Slytherin is self-interested. In addition to respecting the strong man for the principal, he will naturally not lack Coveting for the position of principal.
As the only school in the British wizarding world, one can imagine the connections and interests behind this. Any big family that sponsors the school will want this position. Unfortunately, Dumbledore is quite difficult to deal with and forcefully moved Hogwart to the throne. Ci's monopoly became his one-note speech.
Their predecessor, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, took all the blame for the dark wizard incident the year before last because he failed to shake Dumbledore's position, but it was not certain that this would happen again.
As for dark wizards, well, I can just leave this matter to former Headmaster Dumbledore.
All the overly shrewd Slytherins subconsciously lowered their eyes to prevent others from seeing some evil intentions in their eyes, and they had already begun to make plans in their minds, thinking about how to write a letter to inform their families about this incident later. thing.
The owls must be busy tonight.
Noah calmly withdrew his gaze, taking in the tacit understanding of these people, but had no intention of saying anything. Most of the Slytherins he knew were like this - they were protected by Principal Dumbledore but also feared and coveted the wizard's power. There was no need to be surprised. After all, Slytherin's characteristics also included [ambition]. And [ambition] can sometimes be called [greed].
Too lazy to pay attention to these twists and turns, his attention was mainly focused on another thing.
The troll was basically brought in by Professor Rocky, and the purpose of bringing it in was probably to disrupt order in the school.
Now the professor should try to go to the fourth floor.
The prefect cleared his voice, interrupting the strange silence. After talking a lot of high-sounding nonsense, the members of the student union finally arrived belatedly, bringing the news that the troll had been solved.
but……
"You mean, Potter? The one in Gryffindor who defeated the troll?"
The student council member who told the news glanced at the surprised Slytherin speechlessly: "It was three first-year Gryffindors who defeated the troll, and one of them was Potter."
Other Slytherins: "..." But, is there any difference?
No matter how you think about this description, it sounds like Potter was defeated, right?
Could this man not only defeat You-Know-Who as a baby, but also defeat a troll as a first grader?
The Slytherins looked at each other and turned to look at the silent Noah as if they had reached some tacit understanding: "Noah, what do you think?"
Noah raised his eyes and looked at them. He was thinking about other things before, so his eyes were too cold and a little cold at the moment: "Huh?"
He knew what these people meant, and they wanted him to get in touch with the savior and reassess his value.
"Shouldn't we ask the first graders about this kind of thing first?" Noah said lightly.
In fact, the one you should ask the most is Malfoy. But everyone knew that Malfoy and Potter were at odds with each other, and if you asked, you would be offended and you wouldn't get a fair evaluation.
But Slytherin decided to pay more attention to this Potter.
So...why Gryffindor? !
The Slytherins secretly despised someone's ignorance and stupidity, and did not mention the relevant topic again.
…
The troll was eliminated, and Gryffindor was deducted five points, but also received fifteen points. From this point of view, it still earned ten points.
In addition, it was Gryffindor's first year who solved the troll, so Gryffindor can be said to be "proud" in the past two days. When meeting a Slytherin, it is necessary to say a few words, and to stimulate a few words by the way, directly As a result, students from both colleges would pull out their magic wands when they met, ready to shut up the other side at any time.
After a few times, the arrogant Slytherin couldn't help it anymore and began to contact Malfoy, planning to find a way to rub Gryffindor.
Even Noah was approached more than once, hinting openly or secretly that he should meet the savior to see what his strength was. But he was rejected by Noah on the grounds that he had no interest in bullying the lower grades. In the end, he got annoyed and directly reported the evaluations of various professors on Harry Potter. Those evaluations can only be said to be quite satisfactory, far less than those of Hermione. Granger's rating is high.
Because Noah usually had a good relationship with the professors, no one questioned Noah's words.
So from then on, defeating the troll was defined as "Potter's luck", just a fluke.
But the relationship between Gryffindor and Slytherin did not seem to have eased in any way, but instead became even more tense.
