Hogwarts, where the stars shine

Chapter 139, The 1st Rune Snake Meeting



After Christmas, Lilia received a letter from Mesa explaining her intention to join the Runes.

After Lilia returned home from vacation, she immediately started working on making a new badge.Don't underestimate this silver rune snake badge, the workmanship materials are of the highest quality.

The badge also has an additional small function to deal with the chaos of Hogwarts in the past two years.After the wearer activates the badge, the badge will record his current location information and pass it to other activated badges.

However, this function is not perfect enough, and information can currently only be transmitted within the school.

This display of wealth won Lilia the favor of everyone present.Who can not like a beautiful girl with more than [-] million yuan?

Seeing everyone wearing brand new badges on their chests, Lilia was also satisfied. This wave was not only the joy of spending money, but also the joy of winning people's hearts.

Lilia smiled happily, and Mesa smiled unconsciously.

Yes, even though she appears to be more mature than her peers, Lilia is still young after all. She needs more recognition and playmates.These things that are not important to Mesa are what Lilia needs.

Always living in an environment where there are cold eyebrows and "enemies" on all sides is very detrimental to Lilia's growth.Mesa secretly made up his mind that in order for Lilia to thrive, he should speed up his plan.

After the meeting gifts were distributed, Mesa and Lilia's performance won the initial approval of the Rune Snake members.Gascoigne stood up again and began to introduce the members.

"Mesa, Lilia, this is Clement Martial." Gascoigne introduced, "This is Cooper Sylvester..."

Following Gascoigne's introduction, Mesa and Lilia memorized the members' faces and names one by one. This is the most basic respect for people.

The last student to be introduced was Gemma Farley. In fact, Mesa and Lilia were already very familiar with her. She always followed Gascoigne and acted as the tail of the Slytherin prefects.

"Welcome you two to join, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time." Gemma Farley said, she is also an ambitious witch who wants to do something earth-shattering.

Ambition, shrewdness... Gemma Farley has all the qualities a Slytherin student should have, she just lacks a stage to show herself.

There were more voices in the secret room. Some people were curious about Mesa's hands-on ability, some were curious about how Mesa practiced magic, and some were curious about the relationship between Mesa and Lilia...

Mesa responded to these strange questions with a smile, and soon became familiar with everyone.Lilia also sat together with Gemma Farley and three other girls, chattering.

From the current point of view, Mesa and Lilia have integrated well and have not encountered any obstacles.Gascoigne was very relieved about this. What he feared most was that Mesa looked down on everyone and was unwilling to take the initiative to integrate.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about something serious!" Gascoigne clapped his hands vigorously and focused everyone's attention on himself.

Gascoigne continued: "We welcome Mesa and Lilia again to join us, and of course the gifts they bring!"

Warm applause rang out in the small room. With no more worries, they would only have one way of expressing their welcome to Mesa and Lilia.

Everyone has more or less the mentality of admiring, worshiping, and liking people who are better than themselves, which will make their goals harsh and ambitious.This is a natural and social phenomenon.

The same is true for Slytherin students. Their characteristics tend to express this psychology more intuitively.

Just like campus life at Mesa for the past year and a half.At first, the Slytherins despised him and even bullied him because he was a Muggle-born.But when Mesa showed his abilities, this bullying disappeared instantly, and Flint has been avoiding him until now.

After Mesa once again shocked everyone with his personal strength this school year, some Slytherins were even more grateful that Mesa was one of their own, completely forgetting their previous rejection and neglect of him.

To put it bluntly, some people cannot tell the difference between a big king and a big king without being slapped in the face.Only when he feels pain can he learn what respect is.

If Mesa had not faced the bullying alone and shown his impressive talents and extraordinary strength, he would not have earned this respect.

If Mesa had accepted Gascoigne's invitation from the beginning, he would still have been welcomed by everyone, but he would not have received attention as soon as he joined, let alone feel reverence in the eyes of others.

"That's right, with the infusion of new blood, I think we should do something." Gascoigne continued, "At least it shouldn't be like this now. We have to have a clear short-term goal."

Five-year plans, ten-year plans and so on are too far away, and Gascoigne is eager to see the impact of Mesa joining.

The first thing to do is to spread the news and let the purebloods in the academy know about it and see how they react.At the same time, he tried to attract more students and expand Rune Snake's influence in the college.

In order to have greater influence and more say, Rune Snake needs to attract more students and strengthen itself.

"I agree!" Gemma Farley was the first to express her stance. "To eliminate discrimination in the academy, we need to win the support of more people. Moreover, we now have the ability to protect more people."

Following Gemma Farley's statement, other students also expressed their opinions.What makes Mesa somewhat concerned is the performance of Clement Martial and Cooper Sylvester.

Claremont and Cooper also supported it, but they believed that they should test the attitudes of pure-blood students first and adjust the plan based on their reactions instead of directly raising a flag.

The two were worried that their rash advancement would trigger an overreaction among pure-blood students and cause conflicts within the college.

There is some truth in what both sides say. One side feels that with Mesa, they have a guarantee and can forge ahead; the other side believes that even with Mesa, they should not rush forward, but should take steps to gradually improve the atmosphere of the college.

"Lilia, what do you think?" Gascoigne was not angry, but joked, "Let's listen to the voice from the Holy 28 family."

Lilia, who behaved very generously, said bluntly: "Do you think that pure-blood families are too scary? We are in school, not in society, and their hands cannot reach the school."

If the pure-blood family could bypass Dumbledore and get their claws into the school, would Mesa be able to survive to this day despite being retaliated against by the Flint family last year?

"In addition, I think Dumbledore is happy to see us making our voices heard in Slytherin House." Lilia continued, "Don't forget, some people call Dumbledore a 'Muggle protector' .”

Slytherin House is the home base of pure-blood families, and the internal atmosphere is more influenced by pure-blood families.The little traitor Lilia was born in the ancient and noble Shafik family. She understood the thoughts of the pure-blood family and knew their ways.

What Lilia wants to express is very simple, just do what you have to do and don't have so many worries.

Slytherin House is no longer dominated by Death Eaters. We are all students, so why should we be afraid of each other's overreaction?

This unconventional analysis caused many members to nod in agreement, and they also felt that the purebloods around them were almost boring.Compared to these people's Death Eater fathers, their abilities are really not good enough.

After thinking about it, the members suddenly felt a little emo.

The opponent's ability has declined, but the internal atmosphere of the college has not improved. Doesn't this mean that his own ability is not good either!

The sky is blue, and Westbrook is outside the window...

Seeing that everyone's mood was a little low, Gascoigne clapped his hands again to attract everyone's attention.

"I have a suggestion that everyone can listen to." Gascoigne said, "I want to increase the number of regular gatherings. In addition to allowing everyone to have more exchanges, they can also learn from each other's skills and improve everyone's magic ability. "

As he said that, everyone looked at Mesa, and everyone immediately understood Gascoigne's intention.With the addition of Mesa, what a waste it would be not to take advantage of it!

Mesa was stunned. Gascoigne never mentioned this beforehand!
