HP's Platinum Temptation

From the first day of November, the club activity room of the Violet Club has been in busy use.Because the night before, everyone only had time to simply set up the tables and chairs, and discussed the simple plans for November before it was time for the curfew.So the morning spell class was over, and the four of Clarence rushed to the activity room, ready to help continue the arrangement before lunch.

When they arrived at the activity room, the four of them found that several people in the classroom were already discussing enthusiastically.

Seeing the arrival of the four people, Theodore greeted first: "Clay, come here quickly! These are a few of my friends who all want to join our club. But we haven't discussed the details of membership last night. Let's discuss it."

"Are you getting grades so soon?"

"That's right, my popularity is very good." Theodore patted his chest proudly: "We were just now discussing what kind of activities can be held. Although learning is our main theme, there must be entertainment. "

"You mean the banquet or something?" Jeffrey asked.

"Of course not, that's too Slytherin. We can consider something more interactive and popular. Like Quidditch."

"Isn't there already a College Cup? Can we organize another game?"

"Of course not, we are considering other simpler ones. There are only a few who can join the college team in the whole school, but there are others who like to fly. We can have some obstacle races or something, just like the Muggle Olympics!" The chubby boy said excitedly: "I bet, there must be many people interested in this kind of competition. I can sign up in advance!"

Seeing that the topic of discussion was about to become free play of activities, Clarence quickly stopped: "Should we first discuss the issue of membership and the rules of the club?"

"What rules?" asked another of Theodore's friends.

"It's similar to the code of conduct for athletes. As a team, we should have and demonstrate some team-specific characteristics." Clarence explained patiently.

"You mean something like the Slytherin rules?" Jeffrey subconsciously remembered the most similar thing in his cognition.As a result, the moment they heard his words, several friends around Theodore looked terrified, as if they were not very happy.

"It's similar, but of course it's not that. We should have our own rules." Clarence said while winking at Daphne, beckoning the latter to help explain.

"Ah, I see, isn't it something like an oath? Regulations?" Daphne looked at the new members innocently: "For example, I am proud that I am a wizard? We have to come up with something Something against wizards who discriminate against all types of hemp."

"Yes! Yes! You can add another sentence." Theodore pulled out his wand, wrote the sentence that Daphne said just now in mid-air, and then added: "Use my power correctly and seriously."

"How about magic that makes me special?" Clarence added himself, using his wand.

The atmosphere in the activity room immediately eased.In the end, everyone decided on the membership procedure together. Under the witness of the president and at least four members, they took an oath in accordance with the basic rules of the society, and then added their names to the contract list of the society.

After sending off a few new members who were about to join, Clarence let out a long sigh, and then knocked on Jeffrey: "You bastard, why don't you mention the Slytherin rules? It's almost a bad thing."

"I didn't realize it either. I think the form of the Slytherin rules is really suitable. As long as the content changes a bit." Jeffrey covered his forehead with an innocent face, and couldn't help but straighten his forehead. s hair.

"Fortunately, Daphne helped me round it."

"It's okay, now it's a blessing in disguise. Our discussion made the subsequent procedures logical." Daphne patted Jeffrey on the shoulder sympathetically: "The suggestions they made are very good. For example, making membership badges, Fortunately, they brought it up, otherwise it might be too late to prepare. My suggestion is to make it look like a club badge, and then add our basic oath to it."

"You can also find a way to add the element of the key. Except for the time of the public class, you must wear a badge or know the password to enter here at other times. We can discuss it with Mr. Shane at the door." Theodore looked at Clarence: "Badge Can you get out by Saturday?"

"It's not a big problem. Let's work together in the next time. I'm in charge of all the material preparation, Theodore is in charge of Saturday's lectures, Jeffrey and Cindy are in charge of the layout of the activity room, Daphne is in charge of writing our specific rules, There is still an event plan for November, okay?"

"There is another question. What is the activity room used for? We have to arrange it according to this arrangement." Cindy rarely took the initiative to ask.

"Half of the area is used for members to study quietly, and the other half is used as a discussion area?"

At breakfast on Thursday, Theodore hurriedly pulled Clarence outside the auditorium to speak.Geoffrey was left at the table, and the Slytherin first years beside him had already started talking to him.Lorenzo's isolation measures against Clarence began to fail little by little.This surprised many Slytherin seniors who were on the sidelines.It didn't occur to them that Clarence's situation was improving in ways that were not typical for Slytherins.

Clarence did not return to the auditorium after breakfast, but Blade brought the letter as usual.

The Slytherins had passed from amazement to equanimity at the fact that Clarence was bound to receive a letter every day.Compared with the average student receiving a letter from their parents once a week, Clarence's frequency of receiving letters is also one of the reasons why Slytherin students are afraid.Because obviously, Theodore, who also came from the Lambert family, received letters more often than usual.

But this time, there were five other owls following Daofeng, all carrying heavy packages.Blade looked around but didn't find Clarence, so he wisely led his younger brothers straight to Jeffrey.This performance amazed the students on the long table.Jeffrey's face darkened instead.With so many packages, if Daphne, Cindy, and a few reserve members hadn't volunteered to help move them later, Jeffrey would have been trapped in the auditorium until Clarence returned.

After Jeffrey and the others also left, Duke slipped in from outside the auditorium and whispered in Lorenzo's ear: "Someone heard the Lambert brothers discussing in the corridor just now. More than expected, I want to ask the professor for help to find a way."

"What? Too many people? How come? We must find a way to stop his popularity!"

"But the president of the Violet Club is Theodore Lambert, and the large number of people can't change the situation of little Lambert." Facing Lorenzo's anger, Duke was at a loss: "I can't think of any way so far, We cannot influence students outside of Slytherin."

"Then tell the Slytherins not to go."

"But I heard that Baker and the others were discussing when they left the auditorium just now. Members of several neutral families have reached an agreement to support the Lambert family."

"Are those families also members of the business alliance where the Lambert family is?" Lorenzo was shocked.

"Yes, it seems that Baker and the others only found out this morning. But didn't you say that the business alliance is just the Lambert family and the Lister family? It seems that they haven't heard what Lambert and the others said to Baker outside of school. Why did they suddenly express their views like this?" Although Duke looks big and not very smart, being able to be Lorenzo's most loyal follower shows that Duke is not a brainless person.

"Damn it, it's clear that Dad managed to find out that the Lambert family seems to be forming an alliance with other families these days. They are all small families, so they should be easy to deal with. As long as we find out the members of this alliance and put pressure on them outside the school, They should not have the strength to resist the Medici family. How could there be so many new families suddenly?"

"What exactly is the business alliance? You didn't explain it clearly to me before, and I couldn't understand their conversation." Duke replied helplessly: "They said it too vaguely."

"My dad found out about the failure of our Halloween arrangement." Lorenzo glanced at Duke impatiently, but suppressed his emotions, and explained as quickly as possible: "He thinks the Lambert family doesn't seem like It looks so weak. After all, how could a declining family that has just been revived dare to openly challenge the Medici family? Even with the Rist family, why would the Rist family come together with the Lambert family? It is also a puzzling question. So Dad sent someone to investigate quietly. The initial investigation results showed that Lambert and Rist met on the first day of school. On the platform, Rist first and Lambert said hello. Other than that, there was no more intersection. Later, they discovered that the logo used by Lambert's shop was not the same as his family pattern, and later, the secret estate of the Lister family also used At this time, Dad heard that some small and medium-sized families seemed to be holding some banquets and discussing something. He later found out through another friend that there seemed to be an organization called the Business Alliance. I don’t know where the leader is. It’s a family. The people who participated are very strict. There are only three days, and my father only asked about this.”

"What does that matter? It's just a small family."

"Now they don't seem to have many small families united. Everyone just heard the news. But if they win over more small families, then even the largest family like mine will be threatened. So Dad wants me to help observe in the school, find out the families that have joined, and destroy them one by one."

"Didn't you say that the families of these business alliances are hiding in a low-key manner? Then how do neutral families like Baker know that Lambert and Rist belong to the business alliance?"

Lorenzo tapped anxiously on the table with his fingers, and Duke beside him didn't dare to speak.The long table in Slytherin was almost empty, and there were only a few students left in the other three colleges who were going to write a letter to be taken away by the owl, and they were being urged to death by their respective owls.

"Owl!" Lorenzo slapped the table suddenly, suddenly realizing: "The owl that delivered the package to Lambert today belongs to the Commercial Alliance, and the package has the logo of the Commercial Alliance."

"How could they suddenly decide to support Lambert when they saw the package?" Duke continued to ask in confusion.

"I have to write a letter home. The families of the business alliance probably reached an agreement. I need to tell Dad!"
