Chapter 417: Riding A Tiger And Being Difficult To Dismount
Although Flint's grades were poor, he could still see things clearly: although they had not officially acknowledged it, everyone knew who they were working for. The news of Voldemort's return made them, students with a Death Eater background, They could have walked sideways, but Solim suppressed their arrogance. This put them in a very embarrassing situation. A group of them prepared to cause trouble aggressively, but instead of doing it, they were taught a lesson. They were embarrassed within Slytherin, and the entire Hogwarts would know about it tomorrow. this matter. How do they explain to the elders in their family? How do the elders in the family explain to that person?
"You seem to be hesitant?" Of course Solim could figure out the twists and turns. He looked at Flint's group with a sneer: "What are you going to do next? Have a fight here? Regardless of the outcome. Can you do business no matter what? Or just write letters in despair and send them to the elders at home?"
Flint's mouth was also bitter, and it would definitely not work if he just admitted it - the elders in their family could peel off his skin, and he had already been punished twice by the elders because he could not graduate. Well, things will get messed up again this time... Okay, it's already messed up, but no matter what, the attitude must be shown, and it's absolutely not okay to give in like this.
But... Flint turned around and looked at the people around him: there seemed to be few of them who could be used - except for Goyle and Crabbe, these two big guys were either used as human shields or let them Using fists seems to be more effective than using magic spells.
"Have you thought about it?" Solim held the wand in his left hand and looked at Flint and his group with a half-smile. "If I'm not going to fight, I'll go back."
Flint looked at the people next to him: Goyle, Crabbe, Warrington, Thicknesse, Avery, Higgs, Burst, Nott... Thicknessy and Ever There was a second grader and a fourth grader, and Millicent was a girl. They couldn't count on them. They and Nott had just been put under a spell by Solim, and now their hands and feet were still weak and they couldn't move at all. Now even if Flint wants to take action, there are not many people who can come in handy.
Anyone with eyes can see Flint's difficulties. Slytherin students are generally precocious, and due to family connections, they are better informed than other students at Hogwarts. Most people present understand what is going on. , and also understood the embarrassing situation of Flint and his group.
"It's okay..." Solim said softly: "I don't believe there are only a few of you. Please come forward so that I can see how many people in our academy are ready to kneel down and lick Voldemort's robe."
Some senior students exchanged glances secretly, and they themselves were not sure. Many of the students' families want to continue to observe the situation and are not prepared to get too close to the Death Eaters. Some of them are planning to contact the Death Eaters in the near future, but when their elders do not give clear instructions, they also Don't dare to move too much. Slytherins are very sensitive to this kind of thing. Solim is forcing them to take sides. If he takes a stand now, it means that he and the Death Eaters are in the same group. They have not forgotten who the principal of this school is. In the situation Before there is clarity, this is tantamount to making yourself unhappy. But if you don't stand up, if... the Death Eaters gain an advantage in the future, then your current actions may be true.
Because of Solim's words, the senior Slytherin students were in a dilemma for a while.
Some slippery students had already squeezed out of the crowd and began tiptoeing toward the dormitory. There were Death Eaters on one side and Selwyn on the other. For some students from ordinary families, there was no need for them to wade through this muddy water. They couldn't afford to offend either side.
Solim observed the expressions of the surrounding students while patiently waiting for Flint's reply. Just by looking at the expressions of some students, Solim had already roughly guessed their family's position. As expected by Solim, most people still maintain a wait-and-see attitude. After all, the situation is still unclear. No one knows who will have the last laugh, Dumbledore or Voldemort. The only ones who will jump out now are those Death Eaters with deep imprints. s student.
"Why do you Selwyn interfere in these things?" Mars' eldest brother released his hand holding his younger brother, handed him to the person next to him, and then walked to Flint and looked at Solim.
"I remember that families like yours generally don't pay attention to these things. Is this your personal behavior or is your family instructing you to do this?"
Terrence. Higgs is also a celebrity in the Hogwarts Quidditch circle. He is different from other Slytherins. He has never used those underhanded methods when playing. This is not good for the Slytherin Quidditch team. It can be considered an outlier.
w'Interfere in these things?" Solim pretended to be confused, what did Russia interfere with?"
"You..." Terence was speechless for a moment. Some things cannot be said openly, especially now that there are so many people watching.
"Hmph," Solim's face darkened, "I don't care what you want to do, but - don't affect me, understand? Draco's prefect room is where I am because you covet the power he has within Slytherin. You are just coveting my dormitory - I will never give in to this, do you understand?"
Only a fool can't understand, but everyone knows that this is just an excuse. Solim was only close to Malfoy in the whole Slytherin. Apart from that, Solim didn't communicate much with others in the whole Slytherin. His sister could still play with the two Greengrass sisters.
"If you are not prepared to fight..." Solim turned his head to Draco behind him and said: "Draco, I think you can exercise your prefect power - I want to be placed in solitary confinement Maybe it would be a good choice.”
Prefects and heads of student unions officially recognized by the school have the power to confine students and deduct points—as long as the dean of the parties concerned does not object. In fact, the deans of the four colleges also reported to the council to overturn these punishments, because only when school rules are actually violated will the prefects exercise their power. "No student who can become a prefect or head of the student union will abuse his power." Digging a hole for yourself.
Solim's words completely blocked the escape route for Flint and his group. Not to mention that the planned goal was not achieved, if he was imprisoned by Draco again... Flint could imagine what would happen if he went home during the holidays.
Flint ignored the twitching of his hands and feet from time to time and directly pulled out the wand.
"Come together! Don't hold back!".
