Hogwarts, where the stars shine

Chapter 44, Analysis and Doubt

One wave has not subsided, and another wave has arisen.Mesa just managed to catch her rapid breathing, and was startled by the inexplicable extinguishing of the fire, breaking into a cold sweat.

It would be a lie to say that I am not afraid at all.

In the entire Slytherin House, Mesa was the only one who stayed at school for Christmas.Not because Mesa has nowhere to go, but because many Slytherin students don't want to stay and don't dare to stay.

During the Christmas holidays in the past years, only a few people were willing to stay in school. What's more, after something like that happened this year, everyone was even less willing to stay.

Although no Slytherin student has suffered an inexplicable illness since the seven Quidditch players, the incident has remained unresolved and has left a lingering psychological shadow on many students.

It's like a huge stone weighing on my heart, and like a fish bone stuck in my throat.

If the truth of the matter is not found out, the Slytherin students will be in fear for a day, fearing that misfortune will befall them.

On weekdays, I don’t even notice anything. Hundreds of students from the entire college are there.But if you stay in school after the holidays, it is tantamount to setting a target for the people behind the scenes, which greatly increases the probability of being tricked.

Therefore, when Professor Snape registered the list of students to stay in school, only Mesa signed his name. Only he chose to stay in the crisis-ridden Hogwarts and stick to the Slytherin dungeon alone.

It sounds a bit like a lonely hero, but in fact he is very pitiful.

If his parents were present, even if he just had a place to go, Mesa would definitely run faster than anyone else.But there was nothing in Mesa. He could only stay in school because his hands and feet were cold due to the extinguished fire.

The Slytherin dungeon looked like a mysterious underwater shipwreck. The chandelier hanging from the ceiling glowed green, making Mesa's face turn a little green. The fish passing by outside the window seemed to be laughing at his caution.

If someone chooses to kill the single Mesa in the common room tonight, he may not be discovered until a long time later.By the time the professors found Mesa's body, he was either rotting and stinking or had been built into a rough stone wall.

Looking around, looking left and right, everything was as usual in the green common room, without any trace of invasion or destruction.

With a wave of the wand, the fire reignited in the fireplace.The warm, bright flame emits an orange-red light, which can dispel the chill in the room and neutralize the tones in the dungeon.

The restless Mesa walked to the fireplace and sat on the floor in front of the beautifully carved fireplace.The hot flames restored the temperature of his hands and feet, and the ebony wand struck the palm of his left hand.

Somehow, Mesa seemed to have caught something, but also seemed to have missed something.

Who in the school can enter the Slytherin common room?

Students who know the password can do it, as can Snape, the Head of House, and the house elf who cleans the common room.

But the only Slytherin left was Mesa himself, and Dean Snape also left the school at the beginning of the holidays.

If it were other people staying on campus, why would they come here in the middle of the night?Or was Mesa trying to scare him, and the house elf just put out the flames?

The wind roared and the cranes roared, and the grass and trees were all in war.Do you really think too much and make yourself suspicious of every little thing?

Mesa's mind was filled with thoughts and it was difficult to calm down.

The faces of the seven Quidditch players flashed before my eyes one by one, ending with Steele Martin's face that was full of alcohol.

Although he was still unsure of the nature of what happened tonight, whether it was an intrusion by an outsider or whether it was because of his own fault, Mesa always had doubts about the new professor.

The reason for doubting him sounds both reasonable and unreasonable. It is more like a private subjective guess.

The Slytherin House was not calm before, but seven people were inexplicably sick at the same time. This kind of strange thing was still very rare.But as soon as Steele Martin arrived, Slytherin had such a bad accident, and it was normal for suspicion to be cast on the new professor.

Self-denial and feeling that the suspicion is untenable is because Mesa really can't think of a reason for the other party to do this.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a thousand-year-old school renowned throughout the wizarding world.Those who can serve as teachers at Hogwarts are all wizards who have made achievements in their own fields.

The fact that Steele Martin can serve in the school at such a young age is a testament to his excellence.

Despite rumors that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is cursed, no one can stay in the position for more than a year.

But as one of the very important subjects in the school, which would rather consume one professor every year than continue to be taught, it is impossible for Dumbledore to find a useless person to serve.

If the principal of the school could do such a misleading thing, Hogwarts would have been closed down long ago.

In other words, as long as Steele Martin survives the end of the school year, his future will be bright, if not limitless.

A young wizard with great promise, Mesa could think of no reason why he should do this.In a certain way, it would be a waste not worth the gain to make a Slytherin student fall ill and be hospitalized.

If the evidence is found by Principal Dumbledore, it will really be Azkaban calling, and the parents of Slytherin students will not let him go.

What's the rationale for risking your future by doing this?Is it to kill one's father and humiliate one's mother, or to seize one's wife and destroy one's children?

How much hatred can make a person be so desperate and even risk his own bright future.

What's more, while Steele Martin was studying at Hogwarts, Voldemort was sweeping across Britain.At that time, none of the current Slytherin students had entered school yet!

A gentleman can't take revenge. It's not too late in ten years!

Is Steele Martin planning to take revenge on the current Slytherin students for all the hatred he felt back then?

If that were the case, Mesa would certainly have given Martin the international friendly gesture.This approach is really price-depressing, and I only pick soft persimmons.

But if it wasn't the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, who would be taking revenge on Slytherin?

Mesa, who was sitting in front of the fireplace, felt a headache more and more as he thought about it. Slytherin House had offended too many people, almost in every corner of the wizarding world.Not to mention that everyone in the world is the enemy, it's not much different.

In addition to pure-blood superiority, all this is also related to the consistent behavior style of Slytherin students, and of course some outstanding graduates of Slytherin House.

During Voldemort's rampage in Britain, his minions, the Death Eaters, committed countless evil deeds.The vast majority of Death Eaters come from Slytherin, and the other three houses only account for a small part.

If Voldemort wins, all is well and Slytherin House will be great again.

But the terrible thing is that Voldemort lost the war, and the Dark Lord was beaten by a baby who had just turned one year old. This was very uncomfortable.

When the tree falls, the hozens scatter, and the Death Eaters die, escape, and be imprisoned.

Although some people escaped from trial, they were still active in the upper echelons of the wizarding world, holding some voice and continuing the luxurious life of their pure-blood family.

However, this blood feud has actually been forged, and it will not be eliminated just because they escaped the trial of the Ministry of Magic, nor will it be diluted by the passage of time.

Old and new grudges are superimposed on each other, passed down from generation to generation, growing wildly over time, until one day they are exploited again by someone with ulterior motives.The hatred accumulated over many generations is enough to set off a bloody storm that envelopes the entire Britain.

Mesa raised his head and sighed, looking young and mature.

The most important thing at this stage is to win the bet with the Slytherin students and take the first step towards success.Any bloody feuds or bloody storms will all happen in the future. Looking too far into things will be confusing.

After dawn, let’s go to the kitchen for a walk!

The house elves at Hogwarts always make people feel that there is true love in the world.
