Change the world from Hogwarts

Chapter Eighteen: The bottom line has become a drag instead

What on earth is this?

A professor blatantly favors his own college?

And the students here seem to be used to it.

"Yes, Snape rarely punishes Slytherin students and rarely deducts points. We are all used to this."

When Connor was silent, Cedric gave an affirmative answer.

"Given his style, I'm afraid the most just solution would be to let the parties involved engage in a duel."

"But Gabriel would not agree to such a thing."

Suddenly, another voice intervened in the conversation - it was the female prefect Georgina.

She seemed to have calmed down Susan's emotions, so she allowed her to get along with a few of her friends while she came to Connor and Cedric.

"Slytherin can throw out a new student at will. They are used to doing this after all, but we can't do this. After all, you have just entered school, not to mention..."

"What's more, even raising the matter to the level of a duel is meaningless."

Connor couldn't help but follow Georgina's words.

"If you talk about Slytherin, then Hufflepuff will be unable to protect the new students, and there will be no such thing as unity on the surface, right?"

"Yes."

Georgina nodded slowly.

"Gabriel's reputation will be affected by then, which will make it difficult for him to run for student president in the future..."

Connor also understood that this was a struggle centered around the so-called victory of the academy as well as status and power.

In fact, it is not just students who stir up trouble, but even school teachers will get involved.

And as long as the people around them get used to Slytherin's attitude and their existence, then only the worried Hufflepuff will be hurt.

"In other words, from the moment Slytherin took the initiative to stir up trouble, Hufflepuff and Gabriel were covered in mud. It is probably difficult to explain clearly."

"Yes, we don't have any countermeasures."

Cedric said.

"Especially when facing professors, no matter what you do now, it is basically wrong. And with Gabriel's character, maybe this matter will end here."

"No, not really. If maintaining the bottom line and persistence becomes a drag, then I suggest being more flexible."

"……What's the meaning?"

"I mean... this matter can be dealt with, but it may hurt Susan... and if a first-year student comes forward, I don't think even the professor will say anything anymore."

"Um?"

Cedric was stunned. He looked down at Connor, but Connor had already left. He walked towards Susan Bones, who was surrounded and protected by the girls.

Being protected in the crowd like this, the girl who came back to her senses was a little at a loss.

The sense of oppression emanating from Professor Snape made her feel a little scared. She was incoherent and didn't know what to do.

She really didn't want to embarrass the prefects and the others because of her own affairs, and she actually didn't want those things to become a big deal.

Children always value a certain kind of "integrity" and do not want others to judge their family.

Under various psychological conditions, she couldn't help but speak:

"forget it."

She wanted to give in and let the matter go.

But at this moment, Connor pulled her back.

"Um?"

"Susan."

"Tell me about your family situation."

"Connor?!"

After hearing Connor's gentle yet offensive attitude, Hannah subconsciously wanted to raise her voice.

But she quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from shouting.

"Susan, she..."

"Trust me, Hannah, this is going to go a long way... There's no reason for us to watch other people make fun of Susan's family, is there?"

"this……"

"Besides, I believe Susan's family are not bad people."

Seeing Connor's serious expression, Susan calmed down immediately.

She took a deep breath.

"Well...my uncle is an Auror. Their family, as well as my cousin's grandfather and grandmother, were all killed by Death Eaters."

There are some things that Susan has not experienced, but this does not prevent the girl from feeling sad about it.

For her, narrating this kind of thing personally must have a certain amount of psychological pressure.

Connor wouldn't let her talk too much.

"My parents and aunt have been blaming themselves for this..."

"I see."

He interrupted these at the right moment.

"That's enough...I'm sorry, I have to make you say this."

"It's fine."

"Then leave it to me."

He looked at Ernie and Hannah.

"Hmm...but I may need some help from you."

…………

In the corridors of Hogwarts, the stiff confrontation still continued.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Hufflepuff's little badgers have fallen into a disadvantage. Even though they are now extremely united, even prefect Gabriel is breaking out in a cold sweat.

He was unwilling to do so, but he could not make any effective counterattack in the face of Professor Snape's obvious deviant behavior.

Compared with them, the Slytherins were obviously watching the fun.

The little snakes seemed to feel that they had mastered all the situations, and they were just waiting for the Hufflepuff prefect in front of them to retreat, and then they would have something to talk about after dinner.

"So, why are you still standing there?"

Marcus Flint said with a smile.

"Do you still want to block us here?"

And Gabriel was even more frustrated to the extreme.

If the professor hadn't intervened, he wouldn't have had to worry so much, but when Snape was clearly on the sidelines, he couldn't even seek justice for the freshmen in his college, and could only watch them do it.

Those stupid comments are being made over there.

It would be great if Professor Sprout could appear here.

He really hoped that the dean of his college would appear around the corner, but that was almost impossible.

After all, who would have thought that these guys would cause trouble at a time like this?

But what should I do?

Gabriel couldn't help but look at Professor Snape, but the big bat had an expressionless face.

"Any questions, Mr. Truman?"

"So, does the professor want to protect the students in his college? Even if he insulted a classmate?"

"This is their private conflict, Mr. Truman, and it is not the reason for you to lead people to block in the corridor. You can choose to report this matter to the professor instead of acting out of emotion here."

The professor's eyes were empty and turbid, and every word he said seemed ordinary, but was as unbearable as venom.

He just directly characterized certain matters as personal conflicts, and the focus was on Hufflepuff leading the team to block people.

"I originally thought that after you became a prefect, you would be able to control your temper a little. Mr. Truman, this is not a good example for the freshmen in your college."

What should we do?

Just back off and walk away?

Or……

"Is it true or not, the relatives of those in Slytherin are all Death Eaters, and most of them went to Azkaban?"

Suddenly, an extremely abrupt sound came from the Hufflepuff team.

It suddenly broke the dull atmosphere and attracted almost everyone's attention.

Looking around, they saw a first-year Hufflepuff student. He was carrying a small suitcase and had a silver-white 'scarf' wrapped around his neck.

However, the person involved didn't seem to realize that he was being watched. He just covered his mouth and looked in disbelief.

"It's true, so what do those people who insult Susan mean? Susan's family all sacrificed their lives heroically to catch Death Eaters... Oh, it's no wonder, after all, their parents are probably

After being arrested, I probably didn’t have parents to raise me since I was a child, so it’s normal to feel resentment in my heart.”

Then, that childish yet inexplicably mature voice sighed.

"It's so pitiful that you lost your parents at such a young age..."
