Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 325 The Students' Reactions! The Current Conflicting Slytherin Sorcerer's Court!

Dudley gave a detailed explanation of the new rules for the three House Awards to all the students and faculty of Hogwarts.

The students from the four colleges below the stage had different expressions. After listening to Dali's words, they began to whisper and discuss among themselves.

Most people think these three new rules are reasonable.

It is simply to better quantify the ideological qualities, academic strength, enterprising spirit, courage and resourcefulness of students in each college, so that the college award scores can better reflect the various qualities of students in each college.

This has not diminished the competitiveness of the Academy Awards; on the contrary, it has made the competition more transparent and rigorous, making the Academy Awards fairer and more just.

This is a good thing.

However, some students found one of the new rules difficult to accept.

Those are the more than forty unqualified individuals who have consistently failed the four ideological tests of the Sorting Cap, especially those who will not be able to graduate this year.

If the scores for ideological evaluation are included in the college awards, then they will all definitely get negative scores, which will drag down their own colleges and lower their college award scores.

Among them, the Slytherin School, which has the most unqualified students, is the least happy.

Those stubborn, unreformed pureblood serpents don't care about good or evil, but they do care about honor, especially the honor of Slytherin House.

Slytherin, used to being number one, was still quite unhappy this year when they narrowly lost to Eagle by two points and came in second.

If ideological assessment scores are included in the Academy Awards, then in the future, stubborn pureblood serpents who do not change their mindset will inevitably bring shame to the Slytherin Academy, which is unacceptable to them.

The other members of Slytherin, including the naturally benevolent mixed-blood snakes as well as the mixed-blood and pure-blood snakes who had undergone ideological reformation, also found this rule somewhat difficult to accept and frowned.

They fully understood Dudley and Dumbledore's intentions and didn't want to say much, but the thought that Slytherin would be at a disadvantage in future House Prize competitions made them...

The students of Slytherin were filled with mixed thoughts, unsure of what to do or whether they should bravely stand up and voice their objections to Dudley and Dumbledore.

Before they could make up their minds, Draco, who was sitting at the Slytherin Headmaster's table and had been observing the students of his house, coughed lightly and gave all the Slytherin students a warning look.

Draco didn't want the snakes to ruin Dudley's plans.

As for the Slytherin House's academic division being at a disadvantage due to its stubborn pureblood snakes, he was confident he could resolve that problem.

He was confident that he could lead the snakes to make up for the lost points from other sources.

Draco first turned his head to look at the half-snakes who had completely changed their minds and the pure-blooded snakes who had completed their ideological transformation. After warning them with his eyes not to make any rash moves, he turned his head to look at the stubborn pure-blooded snakes.

Seeing this, the hybrid snake and the pure-blooded snake that had undergone mind reformation also looked over in the same direction as Draco.

The Slytherin Academy is currently comprised of diverse yet unified factions.

This may sound contradictory, but reality is often contradictory.

The term "diversity" refers to the fact that the Slytherin community can be roughly divided into three categories: hybrid snakes, pure-blooded snakes who have undergone ideological reformation, and stubborn pure-blooded snakes.

There are varying degrees of barriers between these three types of people.

Among them, the relationship between the hybrid snake and the purebred snake that has been modified is getting better and better, and the barriers caused by bloodline discrimination and conflict are becoming shallower and shallower.

The relationship between the stubborn pureblood snake and the first two types of people is complicated.

The stubborn purebred snakes and the hybrid snakes don't get along; it's a legacy issue.

The problem persists because the stubborn pureblood snakes haven't changed their mindset, haven't learned to be humble and yield, so there's been little improvement or change.

Within the pure-blooded snakes, the conflict between the converts and the die-hards is a newly emerging one.

Originally, everyone was a corrupt element who upheld the idea of ​​'pure-blood supremacy,' a community with shared interests. Their apparent concessions were merely submission to the power of Dumbledore and Dudley.

But now things have taken a turn for the worse. Some people have gone from feigning compliance to genuinely turning against them, and a split has formed within their ranks.

The die-hard pureblood serpents believe that those pureblood serpents whose thinking has completely changed are traitors, weak-willed scoundrels, and are responsible for the split in the pureblood faction.

The pureblood snakes, having undergone ideological reform, initially felt ashamed, believing that their sincere defection had let down their former companions. However, later, with Draco's private guidance, they came to their senses.

The idea of ​​'pure-blood supremacy' is nothing more than a carefully crafted deception by their ancestors, a shocking scam to protect the interests of pure-blood forces.

A list of the Twenty-Eight Holy Families elevates the pure-blooded forces to a high position, while relegating half-blood and Mongoloid wizards to the bottom of the magical world, placing them in a position of being bullied and exploited, and allowing them to be rightfully exploited by pure-bloods for generations to come.

This is their fault.

Times have changed, and offense and defense have become different.

To cling to this rotten deception that has already been exposed and dream of restoring its former glory is truly hopeless.

Therefore, the ones who should apologize are not the pure-blooded little snakes who have completed their ideological reformation, but the stubborn pure-blooded little snakes.

It is the stubbornness and inflexibility of the pureblood snakes that has hindered the transformation of the pureblood forces and is dragging them into the abyss.

They have fallen behind. Families like the Weasleys, Longbottoms, and Shackles... saw the true nature of things many, many years ago, sided with the white wizards, treated people kindly, did not discriminate based on bloodline, and won a good reputation in the wizarding world.

If they don't make changes, they will eventually be purged.

With this in mind, the pure-blooded snake, having completed its ideological transformation, was simultaneously persuading and influencing the stubborn pure-blooded snake while also criticizing its inflexibility with a sense of disappointment.

And so, you called me a traitor, and I said you were a daydreaming old fogey; undercurrents were surging within the pureblood snake.

But this undercurrent could never be brought into the open, and everyone maintained a facade of harmony because Hogwarts could not tolerate discrimination and antagonism.

In addition, Draco and the Malfoy family behind him also played a role in mediating the conflict.

This is why it is said that Slytherin has a unified aspect today.

As one of the first members of Slytherin to pass the four thought tests of the Sorting Hat, Draco was immediately appointed by Dudley as the branch class representative of Slytherin, leading the half-snakes in their studies. As a result, the half-snakes changed their opinion of Draco early on and came to approve of him.

Because of the Malfoy family, all the pureblood snakes, regardless of their faction, acknowledge Draco as their leader.

Those pureblood snakes who had undergone ideological reform not only respected the Malfoy family, but also admired Draco as a person.
