Hogwarts, where the stars shine

The huge banners in the Great Hall, the hanging green ribbons, and the House Cup trophy could not save the Slytherins from their bad mood.

Dumbledore's public praise shattered Slytherin's last hope.

The principal's praise was a stamp of approval that sealed Mesa's role in the Steele Martin incident.The bet with Mesa was lost, completely lost, and what was worse was having to apologize to him.

Even though only some of the students were betting, the failure of the bet left other Slytherins in disgrace.

A group of people can't fight against one person. This person is still a first-year student, and he is a hateful Muggle. The Slytherin's face has been thrown from Hogsmeade to Diagon Alley!

If the bet between the two parties was known to their parents, these more arrogant pure-blood wizards would probably say: You are the worst group of Slytherins I have ever seen!

Amid Slytherin's embarrassment and awkwardness, the end-of-school dinner for the 88-89 school year came to an end.

The much-anticipated scene did not happen, and Slytherin did not publicly apologize to Mesa.Some people were willing to admit defeat and wanted to apologize, but they were blocked by others.

The end of year banquet was over and the students dispersed on their own and returned to their common rooms.Everyone needs to pack their luggage tonight, and they will take the train back to London early tomorrow morning.

The Slytherin common room was crowded with students. Everyone had just returned from the Great Hall and had not had time to disperse.

At this time, another wave of students poured into the Slytherin dungeons, and the long, low common room became more crowded and noisier.Mesa and Lilia were also among this wave of students.

As soon as Mesa walked in, the lounge suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and then suddenly everyone started talking loudly again.It seems like that's the only way they can treat Mesa as if it doesn't exist.

Compared with those who are unwilling to apologize, more people don't know how to face Mesa.

At the beginning of the school year, whether it was Bol and Derek's bullying or Flint's intensification, everyone in the academy knew what was going on.

But from beginning to end, only Lilia stood up and she was the only one willing to speak for Mesa.As a result, Lilia Shafiq was also isolated by some.

Bullying of Muggle-born students is a long-standing tradition in Slytherin House.

Every Muggle-born student came here like this, and no one thought there was anything wrong.Once you get through it, it's over. If you can't get through it, the next seven years will be a life of darkness.

Fortunately, Mesa stood up. He first cursed Bol and Derek, and then gave Flint and his like a lesson.Mesa Black, a Muggle-born, has finally gained a foothold in Slytherin House.

From then on, everyone will no longer bully Mesa at will, but they will not have too much dealings with him, but will treat him as a transparent person.

But who would have thought that Steele Martin would show up halfway, causing the Quidditch players to be hospitalized collectively, and once again igniting the conflict between the two sides.Hence the bet that embarrassed the Slytherin students.

In the final analysis, Slytherin students did not regard Mesa as one of their own.

Although he once helped the little snakes fight against Gryffindor, Mesa Black... I'm sorry, there is no such person in Slytherin House.

If there was no discrimination, isolation, or exclusion, Slytherin should be immersed in a sea of ​​joy tonight instead of feeling particularly embarrassed.

The students were "talking loudly" in the common room while rushing towards the dormitories. Everyone wanted to avoid Mesa today.But how could Mesa give them this opportunity?

Mesa separated from the crowd, walked quickly to the center of the common room, and jumped onto a table.There's nothing we can do about it. We're not tall enough, so we have to make up the table.

"Everyone!" Mesa said loudly, "Everyone, please stay."

The ebony wand pointed at his neck, and under the influence of the amplification spell, these words were clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present.

Extending one's head is a sword, and shrinking one's head is also a sword.Although all the Slytherins wanted to continue ignoring Mesa, they finally chose to stop and stand there, waiting for Mesa to swing his sword.

"The school year is about to end. Have some people forgotten their gambling debts?" Mesa continued, completely ignoring those eyes that were like fruit knives.

After saying that, Mesa began to look around the crowd, looking for the students who blocked the door of his dormitory that day.

As Mesa glanced across the crowd, many students lowered their heads.It would be a shame to lose the bet with Mesa; it would be even more shameful to refuse to admit that the bet had been lost.

Looking at Mesa's reluctance, he couldn't save face tonight no matter what, and it would be embarrassing no matter what.

At this time, Jenkins Benson stood up again.Although Benson was not the one who spoke the most forcefully, among the students who besieged Mesa that day, the sixth grader was one of the leaders.

"I remember you, Jenkins Benson," Mesa said. "I've always had a good memory, but Mr. Benson's doesn't seem to be that great. It's not just you, but other people's memories are terrible, too."

Mesa looked at the students in the common room again and said boldly: "Are you all Flobber caterpillars?"

The ridicule directly angered the students present.The Flobberworm is a 10-inch-long, toothless brown worm.It's a very uninteresting creature, and its Ministry of Magic classification is only the lowest?.

Although everyone was full of anger, the students who knew they were in the wrong did not dare to scold Mesa loudly.And even if it was a quarrel, they had little chance of winning unless everyone swarmed up and attacked Mesa.

"I'm sorry, Mesa Black," Jenkins Benson said. "We have wronged you, and I hereby apologize."

There was no hesitation, and Jenkins Benson made his decision the moment he stood up.As one of the leaders that day, Benson knew that he could not escape this situation.

Even if Jenkins Benson doesn't take the initiative to stand up, others will help him.

"Although your apology came late and was not made publicly at an end-of-year banquet," Mesa said, "I accept your apology, Mr. Benson."

In an instant, Jenkin Benson breathed a sigh of relief. Previously, he was worried that Mesa would be unforgiving and use the topic to his advantage.What Benson didn't expect was that Mesa actually lifted it up lightly.

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they heard Mesa continue: "Mr. Jenkins Benson has apologized for his behavior, what about the others?"

"Mr. Benson was not the only one who surrounded the door of the dormitory that day!" Mesa said. He could forgive Benson who apologized, but that didn't mean he also forgave those who didn't apologize.

Jenkins Benson’s apology doesn’t speak for everyone, and Mesa isn’t that easy to talk to yet.

In the eyes of everyone's annoyance, Mesa walked towards a burly boy and said, "Is there one of you that day?" Then he turned to the person next to him and continued: "There is one of you, right?"

Mesa named several people in succession, all of whom had besieged the dormitory that day and made rude remarks to him.The two boys I called at the beginning were even planning to take action.

As I said before, Mesa has always had a good memory, especially when it comes to holding grudges.

Mesa's act of calling names one by one was arrogant, but it did not make the situation more chaotic.Some people felt ashamed and buried their heads lower; some people tilted their heads to one side and ignored Mesa.

If possible, they don't want to be sprayed by Mesa, but who's to blame them?

There are not all bastards who want to mess around, but after all, they are only a minority, and more people still feel the shame.

It was because of their incompetence that Slytherin House was brought to shame, and that Muggle-born Mesa allowed this despicable Mudblood to be arrogant and domineering here.

At this time, someone else stood up, Gascoigne and others came out more and more, and there were a few people Mesa didn't recognize.These people stood in front of Mesa and they had something to say.

But before they could speak, Mesa was the first to speak: "It is only natural that you must pay back your debts!"

Without the blessing of the amplification spell, Mesa's voice seemed very soft in the noisy lounge.But this gentle word is as heavy as a thousand pounds, weighing heavily on everyone's heart.

"Mesa, for the sake of everyone being Slytherins..." Gascoigne wanted to persuade Mesa, but he was only halfway through, and he couldn't continue.

In the entire Slytherin, only Lilia Shafik was qualified to persuade Mesa.
