"Are you crazy?!"

Some students jumped up, pointed at Snape's nose and shouted angrily: "You have no right to do this!"

"Deport all Muggle-borns?! No need for the Statute of Secrecy? No need for the stability of magical society?!"

"Don't think we don't know about you idiots! You just suppress dissidents, and you talk so much about glory and mission! Despicable!!"

More and more students stood up, and they were not only Muggles - on the contrary, Muggles were even a minority: many mixed-blood and even pure-blood students looked at Snape with angry eyes. , their voices gradually converged, becoming a mighty wave containing boundless anger.

In this wave, there is Balon, Harry, Hermione, and all the red-haired Weasleys; there is Cedric, Sharpie, Cho, Neville, and every long table There were many people on the street - those who stood offered shouts, and those who sat supported with echoes and glances...

Severus Snape just stood motionless and silent, like a beacon in the storm or a duckweed in the whirlpool, letting the students whip him with passionate or rude words, profound There was no wave in his eyes, like a sculpture, but also like he was dead.

He stood quietly for nearly ten minutes. When the students below were scolded until their mouths were dry and their voices gradually subsided, the face that he didn't know if he could move finally made a sound again:

"Of course, considering the secrecy law and the stability of the magical society, we will definitely not abandon thousands of wizards in the Muggle society, which will only increase chaos and hidden dangers. Neither will the school directors and the Ministry of Magic. Allowing such extreme policies.”

His face was dull and his tone was calm, as if he was not affected by the scolding just now: "We will solve the problem as soon as possible to protect the rights of Muggle-born students to receive education. But unfortunately, the current Hogwart Ci…”

"This is no longer a suitable place for you to live."

Below, the students who had just taken a breath were about to have another attack, but Snape interrupted them with an action - he took out a huge book from his robes.

It was a large book that was unremarkable and even looked a bit crude. The cover, which was probably made of black dragon skin, had peeled off a little, revealing some light yellow spots. Apart from this, there are no extra patterns or decorations at all, and not even a title has been written. But this book caught everyone's attention the moment it appeared. Many senior students stared wide-eyed, already having vague guesses in their minds——

"In addition to petrifying those Muggle-born students, the angry Castle Mind also committed another regrettable act."

Snape raised high the old black book in his hand: "The Book of Access."

"It no longer lists the names of Muggle-born wizards."

The originally rising and falling sounds suddenly disappeared.

In the dead silence, Snape's devilish words still lingered gently in everyone's ears: "This means that even if we are willing to force Muggle-born wizards to enroll, it can only last for ten years at most. .In ten years we will no longer be able to obtain any lists of wizards born into Muggle society from the Book of Admission."

"Whether it is the terrifying petrification magic or this book of admission, it has clearly shown that Hogwarts, the magic school, is fiercely resisting Muggle-born wizards. As a member of the school, I It cannot go against its will.”

He glanced at the auditorium that had become like a cemetery. The mechanical voice complemented the dead environment: "I admit that this is indeed not a good thing for everyone, but the fact has happened, Albus "Dumbledore's folly has resulted in consequences that must be borne by all. We have had to pay many extra costs to restore stability to the school and society."

"For example, the gentlemen of the school board have decided,"

He raised his hand and pointed at the gloomy-looking wizards next to him: "They will raise funds to build a brand new school for Muggle-born students. And the important task of finding wizards from Muggle society can only be Leave it to the Ministry of Magic for the time being. After all, it is too difficult to create another Book of Access."

"Relevant matters will be put on the agenda this Christmas, and it will probably take several years to complete... During this most difficult period, I also hope that all Muggle-born students can strictly abide by the confidentiality law and do not give any The already unstable magical society brings even greater pressure."

"Of course, your names will still remain on the student list and will not be directly expelled. I know that some of you will not obey the school's will and will continue to return to Hogwarts after Christmas. For this kind of Student, I can only regret to say..."

"I can't keep you safe."

Snape stopped talking again, but this time he was no longer faced with surging condemnation, but a silence that almost froze the air.

The corners of his mouth were raised, as if he wanted to squeeze out a smile, but the stiff muscles made his expression look quite strange: "Although Sprout has discovered that newly mature mandrake can effectively treat the castle. Petrification caused by a will attack, but it will take half a year for the mandrake in the school to mature... In other words, if you really plan to come back despite the risk, you have to wait until the summer vacation to open your eyes. Mental preparation.”

"That's better than nothing."

Someone seemed to be talking to himself, but in the dead silence everyone heard clearly: "Anyway, you can't study or cast spells. What's the difference between lying at home and lying in the school hospital?"

"That's right!"

His voice was immediately responded to: "I will not allow my rights and interests to be violated by some inexplicable will of the castle!"

"It can drive away Muggle-borns at will today, and it can drive away half-bloods at will tomorrow!"

"It can drive us away today, and capture us and turn us into house elves tomorrow!"

"Isn't it just petrification? If you dare, let this castle take my life away!"

"If it is really the castle itself that wants to expel Muggle-borns, I will not stay in this shabby school! No one is safe in this ridiculous environment!"

"right!"

"No! Why did we leave? We should eradicate that violent will together and make Hogwarts return to the home we are familiar with!"

"What about the will of the castle? I think it's just those pure-blood lunatics directing and acting on their own!"

The angry voices of the students were heard again, and the same emotions were contained in countless different voices. The Gryffindors mustered up their courage and decided to fight injustice to the end; the Hufflepuffs were discussing which places were relatively safe and could provide shelter for the persecuted; the Ravenclaws were analyzing whether everything was really so. What Pu said; and the few Slytherins are secretly thinking about how the school board and the Ministry of Magic collude, or how to completely eliminate the violent will of the castle...

Snape still stood motionless on the headmaster's desk. Under the cover of black hair, the corners of his mouth raised an arc that no one could see.
