Malfoy Rise at Hogwarts

Chapter 230 Sleeping Dragon Awakens
What Xie Lin said made all the young wizards fall into deep thought.

Yes, unlike most student associations, the operation of the Sleeping Dragon Club and the core of the Sleeping Dragon Club cannot be without the soul of Xie Lin.

To give an example, the Gobstone Club is composed of a group of fellow Gobstone lovers. Everyone gathers together to find like-minded playmates. Even if one day the leader of the club leaves, as long as Gobstone is still there, the club will elect a new leader and continue to operate as if nothing has changed.

The Wizard's Chess Club, the Crackling Club, the Backgammon Club, the Bowls Club, the Muggle Comic Club, the Chocolate Frog Card Collection Club, the list goes on and on.To put it bluntly, those who choose to join these clubs do so for the activities of the clubs, not for the leaders of the clubs.

However, among the young wizards who chose to join the Sleeping Dragon Club, how many of them joined because of Xie Lin's charm and reputation?To put it bluntly, almost everything.

Some of them are fanatical admirers of Schelling, some are natural allies in Schelling's slogan because of their weak family background, and some are young wizards from powerful families. They are forced by the family to show their kindness to Schelling.

It can be said with certainty that if one day Xie Lin is gone, at least [-]% of the members of the Sleeping Dragon Society organization will run away.

The little wizards looked around at each other, but they all looked at each other in blank dismay. No one dared to speak without authorization.

In the end, Daphne, the apparent leader of the organization and the actual second in charge, spoke up.

"Xie Lin, you must have an idea in your heart," Daphne stood up and said loudly, "I believe that after such a long period of running-in and development, everyone here already has feelings and a sense of belonging. We all believe in your judgment. If you have any ideas, just speak out, and we will listen to you."

"Yeah!" exclaimed a fresh-faced boy from the second year of Slytherin.

"We all believed in you!" said Melinda Poppins, a Ravenclaw Year 2.

The rest of the young wizards also slowly began to echo.

"Since you all want to hear it," Xie Lin's mouth curled up slightly, showing his signature smile, "Then I can give you a vaccination first, and what I'm going to say next will be a bit alarmist, and even make people feel uncomfortable..."

"But if each of you really believes in me from the bottom of your heart, you should all know that I won't joke about this kind of thing..." Xie Lin's eyes scanned the surroundings, the gray pupils gradually became sharper, and there was a gloomy black figure looming behind him.

"According to the reliable information I have, I have every reason to believe that the man who can't even say his name is coming back soon!" The hiss of air-conditioning sounded everywhere, and fear and anxiety flashed across the faces of many young wizards, but the rules of Sleeping Dragon Society are very strict, and no one dared to make any noise to interrupt Xie Lin's speech at this time, or whispered.Although the atmosphere seemed a little restless, the scene was still in a controllable calm.

"Time and peace are about to go away, and darkness and strife are about to come..." Schelling chanted softly, "Accompanied by the chaos of death, there is no half of pure land in the world, and even Hogwarts will be reduced to a battlefield ..." Somehow, although the subject was dark and heavy, it was expressed in this form by Schelling without causing greater fear.

"Opposite camps, conflicting interests..." Xie Lin stopped chanting, paused, and then said seriously: "Everyone on this land, even me, cannot be alone in this troubled world. So, tell me, what is your choice?"

"Should I join that person and use force to rule this land? Or choose to stand with the so-called righteous side? Or find a place where no one is hiding? Or escape to other countries that that person cannot touch?"

No one dared to answer.

Everyone held their breath and looked for answers in each other's eyes.

A wizard from a noble family, such as Sister Carlo, is actually not very afraid of that person. After all, no matter how powerful that person is, he still needs someone under his command to have resources, and a powerful pure-blood family is his base. No matter how dissatisfied he is, he will not really turn against the pure-blood family.Otherwise, he really can only be a polished commander.

But those young wizards in Slytherin House who came from weak families were different.

The last time Voldemort raged, it was Muggle wizards who were targeted, but in his attempt to rise to power, many pure-blood and half-blood wizards were also affected.Those who work in the Ministry of Magic live in trembling every day, for fear that they will become Voldemort's targets because of their work and duties——

In a better situation, they are controlled by the Imperius Curse, so they can survive at least; if they are unlucky, it is common to be tortured by the Cruciatus Curse, and their minds are eroded by black magic. It is even not impossible to be sent to see Merlin directly by a Killing Curse.

In the Sleeping Dragon Society, there are Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw wizards, some of whom are from Muggle families, so they are even more targets for Voldemort to deal with.

The chances of them even choosing to join Voldemort are almost zero.

Looking for a place to hide from no one?This is a bit of self-deception. Great Britain is such a large land that it is not practical to want to be isolated from the world.What I want to explain here is that it is not difficult to hide from Voldemort alone, and Voldemort does not have the leisure to pull out those unknown and insignificant dragon wizards from hiding one by one.

The real biggest problem is that when Voldemort comes to power, those Death Eaters who are attached to him are bound to launch a new wave of plunder. These people will definitely pounce on wizards like hyenas see prey, and bite off a piece of meat.This is just like those doomsday movies that Schelling watched in his previous life. When morality and law lose their binding force, the sinister nature of human nature will be revealed without limit.

Flee abroad?It sounds feasible. Just last month, on March 3 to be precise, the Muggle governments began to implement the Schengen Agreement, and the Schengen Area was also established. The border controls between Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg were officially abolished, which greatly facilitated the mobility of wizards.

But where to escape?Last time, although Voldemort's scope of activities was apparently limited to Great Britain, it was because he was firmly restrained by Dumbledore. Even so, he launched sporadic activities in the Slavic region of Eastern Europe, among which his notorious Antonin Dolokhov was recruited from there.

(The author complains: Many colleagues say that Voldemort's sphere of influence is limited to the UK, but no author has ever explained where Dolohov and Karkaroff came from. How could Voldemort have no influence outside the UK? At most, he is not strong.)
What is certain is that in other territories under the control of the Ministry of Magic, as long as there are classes, high-ranking pure-blood families, and supporters of blood theory, then there must be supporters of Voldemort in that place, but they are all waiting for the time when Voldemort dominates Great Britain and then stretches out his claws.

Schelling let everyone think quietly for a while.

Then he spoke.

"Now, as the leader of Sleeping Dragon Club, as your leader," Xie Lin raised his right hand high, "I can give you all a chance to choose—"

"In this troubled world, the man whose name cannot be spoken will start a war..." Xie Lin's eyes were sparkling, and he said in a deep voice: "He will bring chaos, disorder and terror to this world. Disorder is the most terrifying...Because everyone is no longer safe when they go out, and even if they hide at home, they are not necessarily safe..."

"People with evil intentions will take advantage of the fire to plunder, fish in troubled waters, and the darkest side of human nature will be exposed..." Xie Lin changed the topic, "So, we need to have the ability to protect ourselves. If one person is not strong enough, then find a group of people to form a group, and everyone protects each other—"

"The Sleeping Dragon Club was established just for this moment," Xie Lin glanced sharply at everyone's faces, and the young wizard present had a strange feeling that Xie Lin was looking at him alone. "As I said, the Sleeping Dragon Club is actually a family. Everyone here is brothers and sisters, and I—"

"As one of you, I am no exception." Xie Lin said lightly: "I will be with you, no matter whether it is hell or a sea of ​​fire ahead..."

"Now I need you to ask yourself—" Sherring paused, and said today's key point: "Troubled times are opportunities, Sleeping Dragon is about to wake up, are you willing to follow me, work with me to overcome this crisis, and create a future with me!"

As soon as the voice fell, the black shadow behind Xie Lin expanded wildly with a bang. It looked like a king cobra bigger than a basilisk. It was over 60 feet long. The blurred outline seemed to be hidden in the mist, which made people feel It couldn't be seen clearly, only two snake eyes flashing a terrible red light were revealed.At the same time, Xie Lin's pupils also turned into snake pupils, shining with a dazzling red light. For the first time, he activated the profound meaning inherited from Slytherin——

Absolutely dominate!
