Starting at Hogwarts

Chapter 37 The first shot at admission, seizing power!



Slytherin common room.

This is a translucent lounge at the bottom of the lake. The walls are made of black Gothic marble. The ceiling is a transparent semicircle carved with crystal. You can see the shimmering waves above your head.

There are green lights on the ceiling with chains. There is a fireplace with an exquisitely carved mantel. There are some carved chairs next to it. You can see some huge octopuses or strange creatures through the window.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am your male prefect, Oisin Brown."

A blond boy with a proud look on his face, who looks fifteen or sixteen years old, said to the group of freshmen in front of him, "And the five behind me are other male and female prefects!"

In Hogwarts, there is a system of prefects and male and female leaders.

Each college in Hogwarts selects one boy and one girl from the fifth grade of the year to serve as male and female prefects respectively, and continue to serve in the sixth and seventh grades. (Two in the fifth grade, two in the sixth grade, and two in the seventh grade. After the seventh grade graduates, two will be selected from the fifth grade, and so on).

Each college will have 6 prefects at the same time, and there are 24 prefects in the whole school.

The prefect's task is very simple, which is to help the college manage the students of the entire college.

At the same time!

Above the prefects are male and female leaders.

What are male and female leaders?

To put it simply, they are similar to the chairman of the student union, who can manage the prefects and students of all colleges, but the male and female leaders are not necessarily selected from the prefects, but from ordinary students.

However, if the prefect is selected as a male and female leader, then he will no longer serve as a prefect, and the college will select a new prefect.

In short, in the whole Hogwarts, one college will maintain three men and three women every year. Six prefects, a total of 24 prefects in four colleges, plus two leaders, one man and one woman!

Listening to Oisin's words, the five boys and girls behind him also nodded faintly to the many first-year freshmen in front of them.

After that!

Osin continued to say seriously, "Now, let me tell you about the allocation of dormitories and the two most important rules of the school!"

"First, from the public lounge to the left is the boys' dormitory, and to the right is the girls' dormitory. Men and women cannot live together, let alone go to each other's dormitories!"

"And freshmen can freely choose from all unoccupied dormitories and choose to live with good friends, but a dormitory can accommodate a maximum of four people, and at least two people!"

"Second, after 11 o'clock in the evening, it is curfew time. After that time, you are not allowed to leave the lounge. Once you go out and are caught by the patrolling guard, you will be deducted from the college points, so you have to pay attention!"

"Of course, in addition to this, there are other The rules, but I do n’t explain one by one. I will write it on the bulletin board next to the public lounge. When you want to see it, you can see it yourself. It does n’t matter if you do n’t want to see it. It ’s not important anyway!" After a pause, he glanced at the freshman in front of him and said again, "Okay, the problems and rules of the saying have been finished. Do you have any other problems? Asked, "Yes!" Li William had a smile on his face and asked, "I want to ask, how did the class leader choose it?" "Of course, he was appointed by the principal or the dean of the college!" Oxin raised his eyebrows and explained. "What do you mean?" Osin narrowed his eyes. Li William said lightly, "The outside world's evaluation of our Slytherin is basically that we are insidious and cunning, and we will do anything to get what we want. Of course, there are also good evaluations, such as being smart and smooth!" "But no matter what the evaluation is, it is undeniable that wizards who can enter Slytherin have one most essential characteristic, ambition!" A group of first-year freshmen listened and nodded, obviously agreeing with this statement. If there is no ambition, then what is the point of entering Slytherin? Isn't it good to go to Ravenclaw to study? Isn't it good to go to Hufflepuff to lie down? Isn't it good to go to Gryffindor to play? In addition to the first-year students, the movement here has gradually attracted the surrounding students of other grades to watch. "It seems that something interesting has happened?" "There will be a good show to watch today!" "I didn't expect that there would be such an exciting scene this year!" Students of other ages around were talking about it, and a trace of excitement flashed in their eyes. But Li William ignored them. He just glanced at the people around him and raised his voice again, saying, "Then the question is, since everyone present is ambitious, do you think you are willing to listen to a group of class leaders selected by the college? Are you willing to fulfill your ambitions?"

Will you?

When the people present heard this, their eyes flickered.

No one spoke.

But their flickering eyes said it all.

They definitely didn't want to.

"What do you mean?" Oisin's face turned cold and he asked sharply.

He had already vaguely guessed what William Li was thinking.

"It's easy!"

William Li looked at him with burning eyes and said, "I think since we are Slytherin, we should use Slytherin's method to determine the real prefect!"

"Slytherin way!?"

The one standing at the end of the prefects remained silent. The seventh-grade prefect standing at the end listened to this with an expression of interest on his face.

As the prefect of seventh grade, he can be said to be the default leader among all Slytherin prefects.

Although there is a position of male and female leaders further up the college, male and female leaders come from different colleges. Generally speaking, leaders who are not students of this college will not be recognized by the students of the college.

Unfortunately, the current male and female leaders are not from Slytherin, so Slytherin students and prefects do not recognize male and female leaders and will only obey the seventh-year prefects.

"Yes, the Slytherin way!"

After William Li said this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Slytherins are all ambitious people, and if you want to realize your ambition, the best way is undoubtedly strength. Only with enough strength can you realize your ambition! "

"So! I think that only by defeating everyone with strength, and only by being strong enough to defeat everyone and convince everyone, can you be qualified to manage our Slytherin, and be qualified to be our Slytherin prefect!"

After a pause, he glanced around and then asked, "What do you think?"

The surrounding students fell into silence as they listened.

After a while!

"I think what you said makes sense!"

I don’t know who said this.

This sentence was like a fuse, and other people directly present, including the freshmen and the old students who came to watch after hearing the commotion, all echoed.

"That's right!"

"Only the one who can defeat everyone is qualified to lead the entire Slytherin!"

"Yeah, if you can't defeat everyone, what right do you have to control us?"

"If you can't even win against me, what qualifications do you have to care about me?"

In agreement, the eyes of everyone present were faintly flashing with excitement.

certainly!

The reason why they agreed so neatly was not because William Li bribed them.

It's because of ambition!

As I said before, those who can enter Slytherin more or less have their own ambitions.

And ambitious people yearn for power.

Therefore, they also yearn for the position of prefect.

Although these two positions do not have much power and can only influence their own colleges, they still have some power. The temptation of this power is fatal to ambitious Slytherins.

However, normally, the position of prefect is selected by the school. Even if the students are not satisfied and want to grab it, there is no way or chance!

But William Li's step forward this time gave opportunities to those students who wanted to be prefects but had no chance.

As ambitious and intelligent Slytherins, most of them had already guessed what William Li wanted to do.

It’s nothing more than a desire to seize power.

I want to get the position of prefect!

They want it too.

Therefore, they echoed William Li.

Once William Li succeeds and gets the position of prefect, he doesn't even have to succeed, as long as he sets this example, then they will have the opportunity to use their own strength to compete for the position of prefect.

Rather than like now, schools and colleges can only appoint people.

Even if they are more powerful than the prefects, they can only watch!

To this!

"Hahaha!"

The seventh-grade prefect listened to the echoes of the people around him and looked at William Li seriously for three seconds before suddenly laughing and saying, "Interesting, really interesting. I am Jin Edward. I have been in school for seven years and am the first student in the class." This is the first time I’ve seen such an interesting thing!”

After a pause, Jin grinned and said, "Don't you just want to be a prefect? ​​OK, I'll give you this opportunity! While everyone is here now, as long as you defeat me, even if there is no appointment from the school, I will Admit it, you are the prefect!”

Hear this!

The corners of William Li's mouth raised slightly, and an imperceptible glint flashed in his eyes.

He knew that his first step of the plan was successful!
