Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 101 Benefits Unite People

Hogsmeade village is located above the snow line all year round, with a cold climate and howling valley winds. Here, wizards generally don't take the initiative to go out at night to find themselves uncomfortable.

However, the night sky here is quite wonderful.

Just by looking up, you can see the stars inlaid on the sky wall are close at hand, as if you can touch them with your hands, which is intoxicating.

At this moment, Maca was standing on a small snow slope not far from the open-air party, looking up at the endless starry sky, quietly waiting for the moment when the party would start.

The venue for the "Farewell Party for Hogwarts Graduates" was decided by Maca outside the village of Hogsmeade, just above a clearing that had been cleared of snow.

In fact, Maca didn't spend a lot of time arranging anything. He entrusted Hossa, the manager of Hogsmeade Village, to send people to set up four long tables and a stage that wasn't too big.

That's right, it looks similar to the Hogwarts auditorium.

But there are no four-color courtyard flags here, only groups of shimmering little fairies dancing happily around the long table, constantly showing off their beauty.

And in the open space between the long table and the stage, a bonfire was burning fiercely, exuding a warm atmosphere—there was obviously some kind of magic hidden in it.

To be honest, it seems a bit crude here, but Maca feels that this is like a party organized by the students themselves. Although simple, it makes people feel free... just like those graduates who are about to leave school and prepare to join the society.

At least, for the graduates, this is a beautiful vision and a blessing with hope.

"Hey, McLean, almost everyone is here!" The son of the current manager Hosa ran over and said.

"Okay, sorry to 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 to hold it in the open air on the outskirts of the village.

He paused, then walked towards the party venue.

"Students, professors, and old classmates who were invited here—" Maca looked at some wizards in Hogsmeade, they were secretly laughing!

The influence of Hogwarts is indeed very great, and it has cultivated a large number of excellent wizards for the wizarding world. It seems that you can bump into a wizard from Hogwarts in the British wizarding world.

Maca was right when he said he was an "old classmate".

"...Everyone, welcome to the venue of this 'Hogwarts Graduate Farewell Party'!" He raised his hands and said loudly, "First of all, let's cheer for today's protagonists!"

Off the stage, everyone gathered around the bonfire, shouting excitedly, two troublemakers like Fred and George caught the right moment and lit the fireworks, and the atmosphere of the party was ignited in an instant.

Maca had to secretly take out his wand and hide it behind his back, cast himself an Amplifying Charm—no way, he had to be careful, lest Lupine recognize the wand that belonged to Black at all.

"Maybe it's time to buy a new wand and use it first..."

He shook his head, and continued: "We know that when we graduate, we will have to face various opportunities and challenges. Presumably that will never make us too easy! For our relatives, for our family, or even just It is purely for Jin Gallon, we will be busy in society and in work—"

"When we can't get together as often as we do now, time will gradually dull the relationship between us...I think this will not be what we want!"

Maca 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 and sorrows we have experienced together in school over the years,

Then let go of yourself! If you want to laugh, let the laughter stop, if you want to cry, let the tears flow, let it become an unforgettable memory in our life! "

Off the stage, the students who were about to graduate hugged each other. The younger students who had planned to join in the fun were also infected by the emotion of parting. Several female students with low tears had already started to sob.

"Finally, I want to say—today, we are all Hogwarts!" Maca shouted.

"We're all Hogwarts—!"

The little wizards followed suit, and even the professors couldn't help but have red eyes.

"We are all Hogwarts! How wonderfully McLean said it!" The short Professor Flitwick blew his nose, and huddled together with Hagrid to wipe away the moved tears.

Professor McGonagall wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands. She looked at the students in the field and felt their pure emotions, and she couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion.

It must be mentioned that Snape also came today.

He still had the same cold expression, looking at the students, and glanced at Maca on the stage from time to time, showing a thoughtful expression.

But speaking of it, the students of Slytherin House are obviously calmer. Many of them are pure-blood wizards with family education, and they really can't do things like hugging each other and crying.

But they are still students after all, and the classmates will develop corresponding friendships after being together for a long time.

These little snakes who are usually frivolous or arrogant have also gathered in several groups at this moment, communicating with each other. Although they are more polite, they are also expressing their feelings in their own way.

At this moment, Maca came down from the stage.

"Good evening, seniors and sisters!" He walked into the circle of Slytherin graduates and gave a calm salute, "I wish you all the best for your upcoming graduation."

"I think we don't need your blessing!"

It was Marcus Flint, captain of the Slytherin House Quidditch team, and behind him a few players joined in.

I haven't seen him much since Maca scared him away last time.

Oh, right! Flint has already repeated a grade, and it is not known whether he will be able to graduate this year.

Although there was still a hint of arrogance in his tone when he spoke now, the nervous expression had already vented his bottom - he was still a little scared about what happened last time!

Around them, other Slytherin students looked at this side in small groups, but they didn't agree with Flint's words.

Maca glanced at him indifferently, and said calmly: "Are you qualified to speak on behalf of Slytherin?"

He noticed that when he said this, the surrounding Slytherins gave Flint a cold look. Obviously, in the shrewd and ambitious Slytherin house, few people will become real "student heads".

Thinking of this, he continued: "Obviously, you don't have—a heir who discredits the family like you may not even be qualified to stand in Slytherin."

"What did you say! You mud-"

Maca turned his head abruptly, piercing Flint's eyes coldly, he snorted coldly and said, "Are you asking about my bloodline? Did you know that the Sorting Hat considered sorting me into What about Slytherin?"

In the face of Flint's inexplicable astonishment, Maca's eyes suddenly became much sharper.

He slowly scanned the faces of the little snakes around, and then said calmly: "Do you understand the purpose of Salazar Slytherin's establishment of the academy? Do you know why he insists on pure blood?"

He paused, and only continued when the Slytherins were all looking at him suspiciously.

"It's strength! It's unity! It's a unified will!" Maca looked at them with piercing eyes and said, "Of course, there are also benefits that continue and intertwine!"

He could feel that part of the shrewd Slytherin's eyes had come alive.

What Maca said was 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 all the things built on the surface will not be solid.

Just like the first-generation Dark Lord Gellert Greenwald who reached the pinnacle of power back then, he was still completely defeated by Dumbledore in the end. And Greenwald's power immediately disintegrated and ceased to exist.

When the Slytherins were all staring at Maca with different expressions, he changed the subject: "But! Before that, we must understand that Hogwarts is a magic school established by the Big Four together. Think about it. After graduation, if someone asks us, how will we answer?"

"Should I answer 'I'm from Slytherin House at Hogwarts', or answer 'I'm from Hogwarts'?" Maca snorted and said, "At least, I don't want others to see the joke and say that we are Hogwarts. Gervoz is still divided—”

"You don't need to say much!" argued several Slytherin graduates.

Maca spread his hands and said meaningfully: "So, only by uniting can we reap stable benefits. Making more friends is good for our own future and the future of our family."

He raised his hand and gestured towards the other three colleges.

"Look! There are also many descendants of pure-blood families over there, why don't you let go of the prejudices of the academy?"

In fact, although Slytherins valued their interests and knew how to protect themselves, many of them had 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 it.

At this time, Maca's remarks were undoubtedly to stir up some people secretly, and at the same time provoke those students who had other thoughts.

After he finished speaking, he didn't look at them any more, but turned around and walked towards the students of the other three colleges by the campfire.

Behind him, the little snakes looked at the students who were reveling around the campfire. Not long after, several students with flexible minds had already started to go to where Maca was.

"Hmph! Let's go back to school!" Flint snorted angrily, and said something to the team members behind him. But he didn't expect that two team members hesitated for a moment, and then slowly avoided his eyes.
