HP's Platinum Temptation

During dinner time, the moment Clarence stepped into the auditorium, he felt countless eyes falling on him, and that feeling made his scalp tingle.

"Look, I knew it, everyone must have spread the word." Jeffrey whispered close to Clarence.

"I really don't think it's a big deal. I think we should finish our dinner quickly and head to the Astronomy Tower."

"You should get used to this, Mr. Leader."

"It can't be that simple, has it achieved the effect you said?"

As the old saying goes, as long as it is gold, it will always shine, even if it is a gold that is suppressed by some people in Slytherin.Lorenzo has been at odds with Clarence because of the incident on the train.He had been working hard to win the neutral faction among the Slytherin freshmen to his side.

Unfortunately, things backfired.To a certain extent, it was also because of Lorenzo's targeting and Jeffrey's constant following.As a result, Clarence's position among the Slytherin freshmen was raised to a position second only to Lorenzo in advance.

The little Slytherins who follow the rule of the strong are not as complicated as Clarence thought.

From their point of view, in less than half a minute, five students from the arch-rival Gryffindor College were eliminated with just one fluorescent flash, and some facts were already changed.

When Clarence found that all the first-year students followed behind him when he finished dinner and left the long table, Mr. Lister raised his chin proudly to him, his face full of the words .

"It seems that I should say congratulations to you, Mr. Lambert." Wendell didn't show any unpleasantness when he saw the freshmen following Clarence: "I have to say about your record this morning. ,very nice!"

The principle that senior students ignore leadership competition among younger students was faithfully implemented by Wendell.Even many senior students who used to look indifferent now showed more friendly expressions towards Clarence.

"I think it is very necessary for me to learn some rules of our college. It has overturned my previous understanding of the role of students." This is Clarence's final conclusion on becoming a first-year leader.

Slytherin year leaders don't just need to win battles.In terms of learning, the leader must also be the top one.Lorenzo tries to win back some of the odds at this point.It's a pity that sometimes, it's really not that you don't work hard enough, it's just that others are better than you.

Perhaps prompted by Jeffrey, Clarence gave up the behavior of independent innovation and experimentation in the classroom.As a result of following the teacher in a regular manner, the good foundation laid by using Terrence's old textbooks as learning materials before entering school allowed Clarence to easily keep up with the teacher's progress no matter which course he took.Charms and Transfiguration, he is usually the first to succeed; Potions and Herbalism, his performance is very stable, and even Snape's questions have never troubled him; astronomy, he can comprehend the fastest The professor meant and accurately found the target star; and in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, his agility gave him a lot of points for his performance.Even Lorenzo's most confident flight lesson, Clarence's performance is not too much.At this point, I have to praise the excellent genes of the Lambert family in terms of physical condition.

In less than two weeks, his good performance has won a good reputation among the professors. The only one who can compete with him is Bill Weasley of Gryffindor, who is also very smart and has outstanding grades. student.

Clarence can take the important role on his body and the more and more probing and questioning eyes around him, and he is getting better.

No matter how much Clarence pretends to be tender, he is still a man in his 30s, no matter how he treats anyone, he will never be rude.Elegant yet gentle.For his classmates, he is always willing to lend a helping hand, such as learning.

In terms of other details of life, his performance is even more brilliant.He can always come up with some amazing handy little things, such as maps of Hogwarts, easy-to-tear stationery, specially published subject guide books, interesting novel readers, and even fashionable and beautiful clothing.Small, fresh and convenient items always catch the eye and sell quickly.After helping a few classmates to buy some small commodities, the mail-order brochure of Lambert Bookstore was officially sorted out and put into use.Two days after he handed over the two mail-order brochures that Jeffrey and Daphne had ordered in advance, Lambert's bookstore also reported that the first batch of mail-order brochures had been given away.

Lambert's bookstore is one of the few properties directly under the name of the Lambert family. The bookstore has branches in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade.As well as the usual books on sale, there will also be a large selection of stationery and tricks for students.Different from prank props, most of these tricks are inspired by Muggle society, and they are all things for leisure and entertainment.

After a Hogsmeade weekend, the three houses outside of Slytherin slowly started to own a mail-order manual from Lambert's Bookstore.

You will definitely ask, how could Gryffindor accept what was handed down from Clarence, a Slytherin?

Yes, no matter how good the Slytherin stuff is, Gryffindor will resist it.But if the thing comes from Hufflepuff, who has a good relationship with Gryffindor, there is naturally no obstacle.

Because of the large number of buyers, many hot-selling products are often sold out.For this reason, many Ravenclaw girls would drag Daphne to strike up a conversation with Clarence in order to get some special treatment.

Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for Clarence to be popular.

Moreover, Clarence's blade brought him at least one letter a day, compared to the frequency of about one letter a week for most other students.This phenomenon adds a bit of mystery and charm to his image.

Two months hadn't come yet, and Dana didn't need to worry about him and Jeffrey at all.

However, both Clarence and Jeffrey firmly believe that Lorenzo will not let it go.It's just that they didn't expect that when things really happened, the situation was still somewhat beyond their expectations.

Around the second week of October, a fourth-year Slytherin came to see Clarence and Geoffrey once respectively.The conversation lasted for a long time before they realized the purpose of the other party's visit.It turned out that the senior Slytherins were complaining that their attitude towards the bitch wizards was too good, and they lost their identity as a pure-blood family.

Clarence has never given a clear attitude of breaking ties with the hemp seeds.And he who often meets with Theodore, it is inevitable that he will often appear around the figure of the witch.Theodore was the only pure-blood wizard who insisted on taking Muggle Studies for five years, and Clarence happened to be his younger brother.

Both Clarence and Jeffrey remained silent in response to the complainer's apparent questioning.

Because of this incident, Clarence subsequently found both himself and Geoffrey alienated by their fellow students.At Lorenzo's instigation, some students from the blood-hardline family banded together to exclude the two of them.It's just that these people didn't dare to make it too obvious because the Dark Lord had just failed.After all, not everyone is a fan of pure blood.

After knowing the situation, Theodore and many wizards who knew Clarence because of him cursed those nasty Slytherins, but couldn't help worrying about him.The hardliners drew the line first, which was an obvious temptation, and the neutrals naturally watched from the sidelines.

The last few times when Clarence wanted to study in the lounge, he found that the lounge where there were usually vacancies was fully occupied, and those circles refused him to join.

"If you don't fight back, it will only get worse." Daphne said at a secret meeting with Theodore, Jeffrey, Daphne, and Cindy: "You can't let them isolate you. We have to do something."

"It's hard, after all, they are the majority." Jeffrey sighed sadly: "It's a pity that you were the leader before, and you probably don't count as you now."

"Why are they the majority? Only a few people are actually targeting you?" Cindy asked seriously.

"Typical Slytherin families actually believe in pure-bloodism, including the former Hall family and the Riester family. They were all like this before joining the business alliance. They are just divided into hardliners and centrists. The centrists have always been They all maintain an ambiguous attitude and follow the opinions and attitudes of the majority.” Jeffrey explained in a helpless tone: “Although the hardliners preach the pure blood theory is too absolute, but these families’ requirements for little wizards are also They are very tall, and they are not like some neutrals at all. Even if their children are excellent, they avoid being in the limelight. Therefore, the hardline little wizards are usually the leaders in Slytherin, and they do their best as much as possible. Have enough confidence to despise non-pure blood. Therefore, most Slytherin chiefs and year leaders are from hardline families. Big families like Medici and Malfoy are among the best .During the reign of the Dark Lord, the power of the hardliners was far stronger than it is now. It’s just that with the defeat of the Dark Lord, the families of some core figures of the Death Eaters were obviously affected and their strength declined.”

"Such as the Malfoy family?" Clarence asked immediately, "My elder brother often mentioned this family when he was studying."

"Yes, the Malfoy family is a typical representative of the impact and the strength has been severely hit." Jeffrey nodded affirmatively and said: "As far as I know, the current Malfoy patriarch, Lucius Malfoy, is devastated by this. Otherwise, the Medici family would not have the opportunity to be so arrogant now."

Hearing a certain name being mentioned by others, Clarence felt a tingling feeling of a light feather brushing over his heart, and his breathing couldn't help but tighten accordingly.What is the mood that has troubled me for a long time, the answer is ready to come out.

want to be close to him...

"Is the Malfoy family very influential?"
