Hogwarts, where the stars shine
Chapter 36, Gambling
The Troll is an incredibly stupid creature that is named after the worst grade in the Wizarding Examination.
But this kind of score is hard to come by, being as bad as a T and on par with a troll usually requires extra effort.Such people either don't want to take the exam, or they really have no brains.
Mesa seriously doubted that the group of Slytherin students in front of him were as mindless as trolls.Is it because their brains were taken out and turned into brains?
Inexplicably, the members of the Quidditch team fell ill and were hospitalized collectively. What does it have to do with him?Are they dead?
Mesa's venomous words really hurt everyone present. Who could not hear that Mesa was swearing in a roundabout way?
He would not fight back if he was hit or scolded, but Mesa did not have such a deterrent effect.Therefore, as soon as he finished speaking, the corridor in front of the dormitory door exploded.
Not to be outdone, the boys started to fight back, trying to take advantage of the large number of people and drown Mesa with spit.
It’s just that compared to Mesa’s curse words without any curse words, the curse words used by the little snakes are not enough. They are more attacking Mesa’s background and his poverty.
There is nothing new, not interesting enough, and extremely vulgar.
Of course, there are also some people who are more impatient. They touch their magic wands. It seems that they are planning not to talk about martial ethics and want to explain the truth that there is strength in numbers.
There were shouts and curses. At this moment, the Slytherin dungeon seemed to have turned into a noisy vegetable market.
On the other hand, Mesa, who was alone, not only was not frightened by the battle in front of him, but instead calmly raised his wand and looked at everyone opposite him provocatively.
He stood at the door of his dormitory, facing a crowd of people who were embarrassing him alone, with a certain aura that one man was in charge and no one could stop him.
Although it seems that Mesa's momentum is not inferior, he knows that he does not have the ability to defeat hundreds of people at once.
If all these people in front of him swarm him, Mesa will definitely have to stay in the school hospital for a long time.But Mesa couldn't retreat. If he took half a step back today, he would have to take hundreds or thousands of steps back in the days to come.
It was just a severe beating, could they take advantage of the chaos and kill him?
As long as I can still walk out of the campus hospital alive, the humiliation and pain I suffered today will be repaid a hundredfold.
If you want to bet, bet bigger.
Mesa made up his mind never to back down. He wanted to tell all the Slytherin students through what happened today: He, Mesa Black, is not a person who can be manipulated by others. He cannot be squeezed as flat as he wants or rounded as he wants. Round people.
Isn’t there a saying that the king must not be humiliated?
Both sides refused to back down. The situation in the corridor should have deteriorated rapidly, but the conflict between the two sides did not break out.
Several seniors stepped up again, including Jenkin Benson.They stopped the angry students, preventing them from rushing towards the provocative Mesa and preventing today's situation from escalating again.
Slytherin House is not a collection of idiots, there are still people who meet other admissions criteria besides pure blood.
After the initial rage, some smart people have calmed down and regained their rationality.These smart people begin to think independently and will no longer be coerced by others, nor will they be used as a weapon by some people with ulterior motives.
They realized that the most important thing at the moment was to find out whether Mesa had anything to do with this matter, and other things could be discussed later.
If it is confirmed that this incident was indeed carried out by Mesa, the revenge of smart people will be far more terrifying than this group of people who only shout about shooting firecrackers.
Moreover, although Mesa did not make any harsh words or threats, his dark eyes said everything. He looked like a beast that was ready to attack.
It takes strength to speak harshly, and harsh words without strength as a guarantee will only attract more ridicule.
Everything Mesa has shown since the beginning of school has proven that he has the ability to practice every word he says.
After appeasing everyone behind him, Jenkins Benson faced Mesa again and said in a calm tone: "Mesa Black, we are here today just to find out from you, what do you think about the collective illness of the team members? "
"Are you asking for my opinion?" Mesa asked back, and when the other party nodded, he continued, "I don't have any opinion. If you hadn't come over in such a noisy way, I wouldn't even know what happened today, so how could I have any opinion?"
With that said, Mesa took a step forward and closed the distance between him and Benson.Because of the age difference, Mesa was much shorter than the senior Benson, so he could only look up at him.
Although Mesa needs to look up to each other, both sides give the impression that Mesa is more imposing, as if he is the taller one.
Mesa asked coldly: "Where is this?"
"The door to your dormitory." Jenkins Benson answered truthfully.
The answer from Jenkins Benson was obviously not what Mesa wanted, so he repeated the question just now. He asked: "Where is here?"
"Slytherin dungeon, boys' dormitory." Jenkins Benson figured out Mesa's problem.
Benson's answer this time made Mesa very satisfied, so he then asked: "Why am I standing here?"
Jenkins Benson looked into Mesa's cold eyes and replied reluctantly: "Because you are a student of Slytherin House."
"A student of Slytherin House." Mesa sneered, then suddenly raised his voice, "So you guys also know that I am a Slytherin!"
Mesa looked past Jenkins Benson at the group of boys who had just quieted down.
He said: "If you think there is something fishy, then go find the evidence and find the murderer. Don't come here to show off your IQ. I can't help but suspect that you and the troll are related by blood!" "
Mesa had already guessed [-]% of what these people were thinking, so he felt that these people were all pig-minded and hopelessly stupid.
The person behind it was obviously trying to blame someone, and Mesa's shape was a perfect fit for the blame, because he didn't get along with the Slytherin students.
If you can't understand such a simple thing, how can you still claim to be a Slytherin?
In other words, they actually knew that this was a scapegoat, but they still insisted on blaming Mesa.In order to unanimously identify Mesa as the murderer and thereby expel him from Hogwarts?
If they really meant the latter, Mesa would have to rethink his relationship with Slytherin.
The current peaceful coexistence is obviously unworkable. Mesa needs to have as much say as possible. It is best to be the only voice within the academy.
It is difficult to make Slytherin House, which is dominated by pure bloods, bow to a Muggle-born wizard.No less than getting a T on the Wizarding Exam.
But it is precisely because of the difficulty of completing this task that it is worthy of the challenge.When Mesa meets this challenge, the fruits of victory will be even sweeter.
"We will investigate this matter." Jenkins Benson said, "During this period, I hope you can cooperate with our investigation."
Although Mesa's ridicule had shown that he had nothing to do with the matter, Jenkins Benson and others did not believe him immediately.Mesa Black remains one of the targets of suspicion.
"Am I not cooperative enough?" Mesa said, "Everyone of you looks like you are going to crush me to ashes today, but I didn't send you all to the campus hospital. How else can I cooperate with you?"
With that said, Mesa pushed aside the people in front of him and walked towards the common room.
As Mesa walked, he said: "Why don't we have a competition? Let's see who is the noble one who finds the truth first, or who is the lowly one who catches the real culprit first."
"If I had found out the truth first...you, and you, would have apologized to me in public at the year-end dinner."
