Harry Potter: The Dragon That Sleeps

Privilege can sometimes cause trouble for oneself, as the old saying goes.

Just shoot the first bird.

The teachers seem to be confident in the Slytherins' ability to control them, but this is actually a sign of their uneasiness about them. After all, pure-blood families are special, and it is reasonable to occasionally go too far.

What's more important is that the timing of this event happened, they chose the moment when Dumbledore was about to leave school.

Jody guessed that this special time was also in the plans of the purebloods. Once Ogli was caught after the duel, they would definitely find a way to blame all the faults on the non-purebloods and Hogwarts Academy.

At that time, even if Dumbledore still insists on upholding justice for non-pure bloods, it will probably be very difficult.

By the time Ogle is fired, the best outcome will probably be that a young handyman is added to the gamekeeper's hut, and the handyman's pitchfork contains his wand that should have been broken?

In short, everything is different now. The pure-bloods failed to achieve their goals, which caused the professors to speculate whether the heirs of the pure-blood families were obeying their family's orders and specifically chose the opportunity to welcome the council.

.

The rumors I spread are still very useful.

Professor McGonagall would become highly vigilant when the issue involved the safety of students, and threatening letters were sent to the study rooms of several pure-blood families that night.

Lucius Malfoy also received such a letter.

"To the Malfoys:

Hogwarts, as a neutral institution, has sheltered thousands of wizards and wizards for centuries. It should not become a stage for power struggles, and children should not become a struggle so early.

carrier.

Throughout history, it is not difficult to find that Hogwarts has been captured and taken over by a certain force, but in the end those forces were taken away by the years, leaving only this castle to guard the entire magical world.

Hogwarts should not be reduced to a political pawn.

Finally, today, after the mysterious man has left for a long time. I would like to ask how many percent of the property the Malfoy family lost during those turbulent years has been recovered? Is the family treasury still full of jewels?

I have decided to donate the Ross family's inheritance to Hogwarts College, and I also ask Mr. Malfoy to hand over my uncle's token as soon as possible.

ps: Congratulations in advance to the young master of the Malfoy family on his happy enrollment.

——Minerva McGonagall”

Lucius stared intently at the last few seemingly incomprehensible greetings. As he looked at the paper in his hand, he was inadvertently pinched into pieces by fingers that were getting stronger.

It was very lucky that the Malfoy family was able to escape the liquidation. Afterwards, Lucius also claimed that the Malfoy family's treasures had been plundered by the remnants of Death Eaters.

But in fact, the family's treasury that was about to bottom out was filled because of Voldemort's black rule. A large amount of plundered gold was accumulated here.

McGonagall's letter is a naked threat.

Lucius threw the letter into the corner of the room, and all the past events came to mind. Recently, he would always think of those days ten years ago, and occasionally the Dark Lord's unbridled voice would still echo in his ears.

"It seems impossible that the granddaughter of the Rose family will be on our side. Will the glory of the Red Rose family stop with you, Mag?"

Damn half-breed... It would be great if old Ross didn't die." Lucius muttered, "Women without any worries are really scary."

"But I have no way out. Besides, Hogwarts has been monopolizing those altars for how many years."

When Lucius looked up again, his severe confusion had completely disappeared, "It's time to change to a new situation."

……………………

Jody came to Snape only after the purebloods had been taught a lesson.

The old bat said nothing after seeing him, but kept looking at the young man in front of him from different angles.

Jody did not think that the most dangerous part of the plan was the scuffle caused by the duel, nor did he think it was the trouble in the preparations.

The most dangerous thing is now.

The person in front of Jody was the youngest dean of Hogwarts, the youngest professor at Hogwarts before Quirrell appeared, and would have even become the youngest principal if Jody hadn't unexpectedly appeared.

Snape is a master of potions. He is proficient in black magic and once studied magic with Voldemort. The network of relationships between black and white that he carries is extremely complicated. After the Dark Lord left, these relationships were due to the influence of his head of Slytherin.

His identity became more dependent on him.

These are still secondary.

According to Jody, his most dangerous skill comes from his understanding of the soul.

Snape was very good at Occlumency, and Voldemort was a guy who liked to use Legilimency to pick things out of the minds of his servants.

To achieve that level of proficiency, Snape was naturally quite good at Legilimency.

Fortunately, based on Jody's interpretation of Snape's character, he shouldn't do such extreme things without any reason.

perhaps?

Nothing is absolute, and Old Bat's silence put great pressure on Jody.

"Where did you hide Mr. Ogle? Joyce?"

"I...I don't know. I didn't expect it to turn out like this at first. The last time we had a fight was a few days before school started." Jody said, looking frightened and stuttering.

Prepared lines: "My brothers... they often fight too! After the fight..."

"That's enough!" Seeing Jody going further and further, Snape gradually became impatient, "Do you think the fight between wizards and the fight between street gangsters are the same thing?"

"I, I just..." Jodi tried hard to exert force on his nose, and tears gradually overflowed from his red eyes.

Snape seemed to have some understanding of the students' movements, and he understood that Jody was the more suspicious person in the chaotic organization.

This kid handles things too well.

Snape thought twice and finally took out the small medicine bottle from his robes.

Putting it in front of Jody, "Mr. Joyce, although you have no talent in potions, I recognize your seriousness...even though it is useless...

You must have heard of this potion."

Snape uncorked the medicine bottle and shook it gently.

"Veritaserum, this potion can forcibly soothe your soul, make you relax and help you lower your guard. As your dean, I think you may be too tired." Snape staggered his steps.

He danced around Jodi in a circle.

He deliberately avoided Jodi's sight and kept him out of his own sight. He hoped to make the child in front of him reveal his hands and feet.

But he didn't know that it was the appearance of Veritaserum that made Jody confirm that this guy couldn't do anything to him.

Jody was in some trouble. It wasn't that he was lax and exposed something. It was that his eleven-year-old body's sensitive tear ducts really opened up after he took a breath, and the tears couldn't stop flowing.

"You just stare at me like a Mudblood!" Jody suddenly shouted hysterically, leaving Snape at a loss.

"Joyce, no one here is going to call you that word."

"You just discriminate against my origin, so what's wrong with wizards? Aren't they just like street gangsters who can't survive without a group of their own? I just don't want to be bullied, what's wrong with that? Why do I have to go through this... Why do I have to go through this?

No…”

Snape tried to interrupt twice but failed, so he hated the first-year brat the most.

Frustrated, Snape finally waved his wand.

A force forcibly pulled Jodi up to stand up straight, "No teacher at Hogwarts will deny your origin, Joyce, I just want to understand. Where did you get Ogli?"

Jodi pinched her eyes hard with her hands, howled and refused to reply properly.

Snape reached out and grabbed Jody's shoulders, forcing him to look at him, "Is he still alive? Tell me."

Jody could definitely see concern in those eyes, but it was a pity that the differences between parties meant that Snape could not be trusted.

"They injured him, and those purebloods knocked him down somewhere..." Jody continued to conceal it firmly.

Whether Snape believed he didn't, Jody didn't know. But he was right in betting that Veritaserum was mainly used to scare people.

It's a pity that I can't escape my confinement.
