In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

Chapter 148 146. Ambition

"This should be a given."

His voice was as cold as an Arctic glacier floating in the ocean.

"I think Professor Dumbledore recognized my excellence and made me a prefect, and now I have become the male student president. But most of the other people on this carriage don't look like that. Think so."

"My stupid brothers never admit that outstanding people should have the right to speak. They even despise progressive people and deny that I am better than them. It is not just them. There are many people in this school who have similar feelings. idea.”

"They rejected the leadership of outstanding people. Even though they were in such an urgent environment, they still put their personal senses and emotions first. They had great respect for a student who was only in the third grade of school, but they never put me, who was about to start school, in the first place. Take the leader who takes office seriously!"

There was silence in the principal's office.

The tension on McGonagall's face disappeared, and she frowned; Lupine's face was still as calm as it was at the beginning; Flitwick was silent when Percy, who was in flames, spoke his first words. She shook her head and sighed; Lily's eyes were cold, and her expression looked much colder than Percy's.

Molly had covered her face with her hands, and tears kept falling from her palms to her arms; Arthur became serious, and he looked at Percy's face as if he were a stranger for the first time. Looking at his son.

Dumbledore, on the other hand, showed no change in expression from beginning to end, even though the image left by Percy was obviously talking to him.

"I can't see any future, you know what? There is no future for me staying on this carriage!"

Percy's voice grew louder and his emotions began to rise.

"Obviously I did better than others, but I didn't get what I deserved! After I got the chairman's badge, I was still complacent at first, but after I calmed down, my reason told me that there was nothing I could do about this badge. Bring me any change!"

"Even if I graduate from this carriage as chairman, what can I get? Can I enter the Ministry of Magic? Or join Gringotts? No! Nothing! I am still a wanted criminal! No matter how well I study , no matter how excellent my grades are, after graduation, I will have the same only one way out as those poor students——"

"In an organization with no future, no future, and no respect at all, you have to fight against an entire magical government! Become a street rat who clearly has noble blood in the magical world!"

"boom!"

There was a sound of closing the door in the principal's office.

When Lily said this to Percy in the flames, she pushed the door open and walked out with an expressionless face, as if she didn't want to hear another word at all.

Molly had buried her face in Arthur's shoulder, and her body was still shaking with her sobs, as if she couldn't accept that her son would become like this.

"My parents, my brothers and sisters, are happy with this, but I have to figure out a way for my own future, Professor Dumbledore."

Percy's voice suddenly calmed down, and the change in his tone conveyed that what he said next was not an impulsive decision, but a carefully considered one.

"I don't completely agree with the theory of blood superiority, but since that gentleman is fighting for the interests of pure-blood wizards, why should I be so opposed to him as the person who obtains the interests? The world will always change, then This gentleman’s domination of the magical world has become a general trend, and this cannot be changed by just rescuing a few students from that castle.”

"Rather than being crushed by the wheels of the times with the old guard, why should I continue to sit back and wait for death?"

"I know that Professor Slughorn is not dead at all. Like me, he sees better than any of you. He has joined the right side and has now acquired an identity and status second only to that gentleman. This It's a good thing. After I pass, we will all be the same, with the same pure blood, the same controversial experience, and the same regret."

He didn't say clearly what he was going to do, but even a first-year student could understand what he meant.

"I will never forget the teachings I received at this school, and it is precisely because of this that I did not stay on the wagon to do more things that would be beneficial to my future."

Percy looked at everyone coldly.

"Pure bloods are not necessarily excellent, but I will prove to everyone that if I were in another place, how much respect would my abilities give me! And what kind of power would such respect give me? and status!”

"We'll see what happens next."

After his last words fell, the human face made of green flames in the fireplace gradually extinguished and disappeared, and an inexplicable silence returned to the principal's office.

Molly almost fainted from crying in Arthur's arms. Arthur's face also showed sadness, but it was more of a gloomy one.

"It's really unimaginable. It's unimaginable."

McGonagall's face was livid. She was obviously very angry at Percy's last words, but because Arthur and Molly were nearby, she couldn't say more.

Flitwick sighed again, lowered his head and murmured in a low voice.

"When children grow up, they will have their own ideas."

Lupine shook his head.

"But I don't think it's a good idea to have this idea."

Arthur patted Molly's back gently, and he looked up at Dumbledore, who had a calm expression from beginning to end, with no change in his face.

"I'm sorry about Percy, Dumbledore."

Dumbledore finally reacted. He turned his eyes to Arthur and spoke.

"It doesn't have to be like this, Arthur. From a personal point of view, Percy is right. He has no future with us. We can't give him anything he wants."

"But whether the things he wanted after that were obtained by him on his own initiative, or whether others generously gave them to him, there are still two opinions."

Arthur was stunned, and Molly also raised her red and swollen eyes from crying to look at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore's eyes were deep and he spoke solemnly.

"Percy may indeed have some ideas of his own, but they are definitely not so extreme and radical. The powder he used to record this video, the way he left the carriage silently, and the information that Horace was not dead , and revealed the assurance that if he did more things with the carriage before leaving, he could get more benefits for himself."

His voice became heavy.

"Someone bewitched him while he was still in the carriage, aroused his emotions, and on behalf of the Ministry of Magic, gave him a guarantee for his future after leaving us!"
