Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 101: Interests Unite People
Hogsmeade Village has been located above the snow line for many years, with a cold climate and howling valley winds.Here, wizards generally do not take the initiative to go out to find uncomfortable at night.
However, the night sky here is quite beautiful.
Just raising your head, you can see the stars inlaid on the sky wall close at hand, as if you can reach it with your hand, intoxicating.
At this moment, Maca was standing on a small snow slope not far from where the open-air party was held, looking up at the endless starry sky, quietly waiting for the moment when the party began.
The location of the "Hogwarts Graduates Farewell Outdoor Party" was set by Maca outside of Hogsmeade Village, just above a clearing of snow.
In fact, Maca didn't spend much time to arrange anything. He entrusted Hossa, the manager of Hogsmeade Village, to send people to set up four long tables and a small stage.
That's right, it looks almost like the Hogwarts auditorium.
But there are no four-color courtyard flags here, only large groups of shimmering little fairies, who are flying around the long table joyfully, constantly showing off their beauty.
And in the open space between the long table and the stage, a bunch of bonfires are burning, and it keeps exuding a warm atmosphere-there is obviously some kind of magic hidden in it.
To be honest, it seems a little rudimentary here, but Maca feels that this is like a party organized by the students themselves.Although simple, it makes people feel free...just like the graduates who are about to leave school and are ready to join the society.
At least, for the graduates, this is a beautiful longing and a blessing with hope.
"Hey, McLean, everyone is almost there!" Hossa's son, the current administrator, ran over and said.
"Okay, trouble you!"
Maca nodded and turned to look over there.
Many people came tonight.It seems that it is indeed a wise decision to choose the open-air event in the outskirts of the village.
He paused, then walked over to the party venue.
"Dear classmates, professors, and old classmates who have been invited--" Maca looked at some wizards in Hogsmeade Village. They were laughing secretly!
Hogwarts is indeed very influential, and has cultivated a large number of outstanding wizards for the magic world.It seems that a random collision in the British magical world can hit a wizard from Hogwarts.
Maca was right when he said he was an "old classmate".
"...Everyone, welcome to the site of this'Hogwarts Graduates Farewell Party'!" He raised his hands and said loudly, "First of all, cheer for today's protagonists!"
Under the stage, everyone gathered around the bonfire, shouting with excitement. Two troublemakers like Fred and George also seized the opportunity to light up the strenuous fireworks, and the atmosphere of the party was ignited in an instant.
Maca had to secretly take out the wand and hide it behind him, and cast himself an amplifying spell-no way, he had to be careful so that Lupin would not recognize the wand that belonged to Black.
"Maybe I should buy a magic wand and use it first..."
He shook his head and continued: "We know that when we graduate, we have to face all kinds of opportunities and challenges. Presumably that will never make us too easy! For the sake of our relatives, for the family, or even just It is purely for the sake of Jin Jialong, we will be busy in society and at work—"
"When we can't get together as often as we do now, time will gradually make the feelings between us become dull...I think this will not be what we want!"
Macka paused, then continued: "So, I just want to say-don't forget the good time tonight!"
"Parting is always sad, but parting also means the joy of reunion! Think about the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys we have experienced together in school over the years,
Under the stage, the graduating classmates hugged each other. The juniors and sisters who had planned to join in the fun were also affected by parting emotions. Several female students with low tears had already sobbed.
"Finally, I want to say-today, we are all Hogwarts!" Maca shouted.
"We are all Hogwarts--!"
The little wizards followed, and even the professors couldn't help but blush.
"We are all Hogwarts! How good McLean said!" Professor Flitwick, the short man, blew his nose, and Hagrid huddled together and wiped tears of emotion.
Professor McGonagall wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand. She looked at the students in the field, feeling their pure emotions, and couldn't help but feel full of emotion.
I have to mention that Snape is also here today.
He still had that cold expression, looking at the students, and occasionally glanced at Maca on the stage, showing a thoughtful expression.
But speaking of it, the students at Slytherin College were obviously more calm.Many of them are pure-blood wizards with family education, and they really can't do things like holding each other and crying.
But they are still students after all, and if they spend a long time with each other, they will have a corresponding friendship.
These little snakes, who are usually frivolous or arrogant, have also gathered into several groups at this moment and communicated with each other. Although they are more polite, they are also expressing their feelings in their own way.
At this moment, Maca walked off the stage.
"Senior elder sisters, good evening!" He walked into the circle of Slytherin graduates and gave a calm salute, "I send my blessings to all of you for the upcoming graduation."
"I think we don't need your blessing!"
It was Marcus Flint, the captain of the Quidditch team at Slytherin College. Behind him, several players also joined.
Since the last time Maca scared him away, he hadn't seen him much.
Oh, right!Flint has repeated the grade once, and I don't know if he will graduate this year.
Although he was speaking now, with a hint of arrogance in his tone, the nervous expression has already vented his bottom-he is still a little frightened about what happened last time!
And around them, the other Slytherin students looked at this side in groups, but they didn't mean to echo Flint's words.
Maca glanced at him lightly, and said calmly: "Are you qualified to speak on behalf of Slytherin?"
He noticed that when he said this, the Slytherins who were watching gave Flint a cold glance.Obviously, at the shrewd and ambitious Slytherin College, almost no one becomes a real "student leader".
Thinking of this, he went on to say: "Obviously, you don't have a heir who discredited the family like you, maybe you are not even qualified to stand in Slytherin."
"What are you talking about! You mud--"
Maca turned his head abruptly, his cold gaze pierced Flint's eyes, and he snorted coldly: "Are you asking about my blood? Do you know that the Sorting Hat considered assigning me The Slytherin thing?"
In Flint's inexplicable expression, Maca's eyes suddenly became sharper.
He slowly swept across the faces of the little snakes around him, and then calmly said: "Do you understand Salazar Slytherin's purpose for establishing the academy? Do you know why he insists on the pure-blooded view?"
He paused, and when the Slytherin students looked at him suspiciously, he continued to speak.
"It's strength! It's unity! It's a unified will!" Maca looked at them with piercing eyes, "Of course, there are interests that continue and interweave continuously!"
He could feel that some of the shrewd Slytherin's eyes had become alive.
What Maca said was all very tempting in the heart of the ambitious Slytherin.But there is one thing he didn't say, that is-in the magic world, all of this is based on strong strength!
If there is no corresponding strength to support, then everything built on the surface will not be reliable.
Just like the first generation of Dark Lord Gellert Greenward who reached the peak of power, he was completely defeated by Dumbledore in the end.And Greenward’s power immediately collapsed and ceased to exist.
While the Slytherins were all staring at Maca with different expressions, he changed his words: "But! Before that, we must understand that Hogwarts is a magic school established by the Big Four. Think about it. After graduation, if someone asks, how would we answer?"
"Do you answer'I'm from Slytherin College at Hogwarts' or'I'm from Hogwarts'?" Maca hummed and said, "At least, I don't want people to watch jokes and say we There is still division within Gwartz—"
"You don't need to say more about this!" several Slytherin graduates argued.
Maca spread out his hands and said in a meaningful way: "Therefore, only by unity can we reap solid benefits. Making more friends is good for our own future and the future of our family."
He raised his hand and gestured to the other three colleges.
"Look! There are many descendants of pure-blood families over there, why not let go of the preconceptions of the academy?"
In fact, although Slytherin values interests and knows how to protect himself, many of them have deep feelings for Hogwarts.During the first Wizarding War, a large number of Slytherin wizards fought for Hogwarts, and some even lost their lives during the war.
At this time, Maca's remarks were undoubtedly agitating the other part of the people, and at the same time motivating the other part of the students who had different minds.
After he said these things, he didn't look at them again, but turned to the students of the other three colleges by the campfire.
Behind him, the little snakes all looked at the students who were carving around the campfire.Not long after, several flexible-minded students have already taken steps to the side where Maca is.
"Huh! Let's go back to school!" Flint snorted angrily, and said to the team behind him.But he did not expect that two of the team members actually hesitated, and then slowly avoided his eyes.
