Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

"So, is this your excuse for being lazy, slacking off, and being irresponsible?" Anduin wasn't interested in Louis's explanation at all.

In his eyes, these were all just excuses. Because his teammates weren't putting in the effort, he had a reason to slack off himself? These were deserters! Cowards!

"In that case, you're not worthy of being prefects anymore. From today onwards, I'll take over Slytherin, and everyone will listen to me. No arguments accepted." Anduin said expressionlessly, his voice cold and mechanical.

"You think you can change the entire House by yourself? I advise you not to be so naive. When I became prefect, I also thought about revitalizing the House, but even Vanessa couldn't do it, right? Besides, the Dark Lord's era left us with too many conflicts that simply can't be resolved," Louis said, trying to discourage Anduin.

Undermining morale, lacking resolve. If you were my soldier, you'd be lying on the ground right now. Anduin's sharp gaze suddenly landed on Louis.

Louis, suddenly being stared at by Anduin, felt his hair stand on end. He felt a strong sense of murderous intent lingering around him, making him tremble all over.

"It seems you're used to losing, even numb to it. I wasted my breath trying to reason with you." Anduin closed his eyes, gathering his strength for a moment, then suddenly opened them. As his eyes opened, a wave of magical power spread out from him.

The three people sitting across from Anduin felt the world around them suddenly darken, and a bone-chilling coldness enveloped them, as if they were facing their deepest fears.

Wendy and Jenny's teeth chattered uncontrollably, and Louis's face turned pale as cold sweat began to seep from his forehead and back.

"I said, you do it, understand?"

Anduin's voice reached their ears like a ghostly whisper, sending shivers down their spines. The three who were being directly stared at nodded quickly without hesitation, as if a moment's delay would send them into an endless abyss.

As expected, using the Fear Charm directly is more effective, Anduin muttered to himself. If he had known this, why bother wasting his breath? He then calmed his magic, and the three people in front of him breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

"Now listen to my orders." Anduin put away the clipboard and opened his notebook. "After arriving at the school, Louis, you will go to the Head of House to get the password for the common room. Wendy, you are responsible for recording the names of all the new Slytherin students during the Sorting Ceremony, quickly assigning them dormitories, and then giving me the list."

"Before the Welcoming Feast ends, Wendy and Jenny will return to the common room in advance and clear out the seats in the hall. You can move them to the corridor leading to the dormitories, blocking the entrance."

"After the Welcoming Feast, Louis is responsible for leading all the students back to the common room as soon as possible, and then maintaining order. Don't let them run around. Gather them all in the common room. I have something to say."

"In the following management of the House, I have only one requirement, and that is that my orders must be carried out without any discounts. You don't need to worry about anything else. At the same time, this also needs to be implemented among all the students. If anyone disobeys orders, record their names and give them to me, understand?"

Anduin's speech was not fast, and his tone did not carry any emotional color.

"U-understand," Wendy replied, her voice trembling, still not fully recovered from the previous fear.

"The answer should be crisp and clear. Understand means understand, and not understand means not understand. Everyone answer once together, understand?" Anduin shouted coldly.

"Understood!" The three were startled by Anduin's scolding and quickly replied loudly.

Anduin nodded slightly in satisfaction, and then saw Louis with a hesitant expression, and immediately asked, "What's wrong? If you have something to say, be quick about it."

"It's like this, will the Head of House have any problems with your arrangement?" Louis swallowed, his voice a little nervous. He now understood why the pure-bloods were so afraid of Anduin.

"Why do you think I took on the job of prefect? Do you think I'm very idle and like to manage these trivial matters in the House?" Anduin sneered, implying something.

Hearing Anduin say this, the three of them realized that this was all the Head of House's intention?

"I promised the Head of House that I must bring back the House Cup this year. Since I promised, I will definitely do it. During this period, whoever dares to stand in my way will bear the consequences," Anduin said, looking at them with a serious expression.

The three people present had seen Anduin's previous methods and did not think he was joking. They hurriedly nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the door of their compartment was knocked on. It was Marin who came to inform them that it was Slytherin's turn to patrol the carriages.

Hearing the voice outside the room, the three of them involuntarily looked at Anduin. After receiving Anduin's permission, Louis and Jenny dared to leave the carriage.

In the next few hours of the train journey, in addition to patrolling, Anduin was explaining the follow-up work requirements and management system to the three of them.

He knew that if he wanted to implement things, he must first unify his thinking, and then supplement it with strict management.

And after communicating with Anduin and understanding some of the measures he was preparing to implement, these three people also knew that this teenager, whom they had never had much contact with before, was going to be serious this time.

After listening to Anduin's management methods, the three of them only felt a chill down their spines, but they did not dare to say anything against it. They could only smile bitterly, because according to the methods Anduin said, it didn't matter whether they were prefects or not, even the few of them were included.

Soon, the Hogwarts Express for the new school year also arrived at the station.

After entering the castle, the prefects quickly busied themselves according to Anduin's arrangements, while he himself went to the Great Hall as if nothing had happened.

This year's Welcoming Feast was no different from previous years, but after the Sorting Ceremony began, it was obvious that there were more new students enrolling than in previous years. There were already a lot of new students last year, but there were even more this year.

Professor McGonagall was still diligently presiding over the new school year's Sorting Ceremony.

Anduin also saw Charlie, who was about to enroll, in the crowd, but besides him, another female new student attracted Anduin's attention.

"Nymphadora Tonks." With Professor McGonagall's loud call, a girl sat on the Sorting Hat on the stage.
