Hogwarts, where the stars shine

Chapter 140, Disadvantages of Rune Snakes



Mesa's first thought upon hearing Gascoigne's proposal was what Dumbledore would think of it.

You must know that Voldemort recruited his troops in Slytherin College back then. Now, Slytherin students have gathered together again to compete with each other in magic skills. This scene is somewhat familiar.

But after thinking about it, Mesa felt that this incident would not touch Dumbledore's pain points, let alone attract Dumbledore's blow.The most important thing is to let the principal's eyes stay on Slytherin House.

"You want to use this method to attract more students to pay attention to us?" Gemma Farley asked, "so that these students who are on the fence can join us, right?"

There are many small groups formed by students in the school, such as the Gobstone Club and the Reading Group. There are also spell practice groups that aim to improve practical application abilities.

But the Rune Snake group is different. They now have a recognized strong person from Slytherin House.By making good use of the Slytherin students' strong-willed mentality, Mesa will be a useful golden sign.

Want to practice magic with Mesa Black?Want to know how Mesa Black practices magic?Want to learn a few tricks from Mesa Black?If you want, come and join the Runes!

"Yes, that's what it means." Gascoigne said, "Slytherin has had accidents one after another in the past two years, and everyone wants to become better. This desire to become stronger is more urgent than the other three houses. many."

There is another reason that Gascoigne did not say, but everyone here knew it, and that was Mesa's personal performance.

Repeatedly slapping Slytherin House in the face, this behavior aroused the shame of some students, and at the same time ignited their fighting spirit.They want to be strong, want to be able to stand next to Mesa, or stand opposite him.

If you can beat it, you will be the next "Mesa Black"; if you can't beat it, you will become "Mesa Black."No matter how you think about it, this wave is worth it.

The proposal given by Gascoigne provided these people with an opportunity to get closer to Mesa and provided a target to chase.

"In this way, our influence will be expanded, and we can test the reaction of pure-blood students in this way. At the same time, we will also greatly improve ourselves." Gascoigne continued, "kill three birds with one stone, or even more many."

It can be seen that this proposal was not something that Gascoigne thought of as soon as he slapped his forehead, but was proposed at this meeting after careful consideration.

As long as it's done right, Gascoigne's proposal could be a win-win situation.

"What should we do specifically?" Clemont asked. "Should we tell the people around us, or simply post it on the notice board at the entrance to the lounge. Also, should we tell Professor Snape?"

Gascoigne looked at Mesa. He finally remembered the Mesa classmate whom he had sold. He asked, "Mesa, what do you think? Should we do it privately or apply to the school?"

"There is no need to make a big show of publicizing and attracting students. We don't have that much energy to recruit so many people," Mesa said. "Just talk to the people around you first and ask them about their wishes."

It is imperative to strengthen yourself and expand your influence, but you cannot want everyone, and you cannot become fat by eating in one go.It is better to be short-term than indiscriminate, especially in the early stages of the development and growth of student groups, let alone be destroyed by a mouse dropping.

"Professor Snape, I think we must speak up." Mesa continued, "With Professor Snape's approval, we are a student group that complies with regulations."

All student organizations, associations, teams or clubs on campus need to be approved by the school when formed.After being approved for establishment, you will receive an approval letter from the professor in charge, plus an empty classroom as an activity venue.

However, the school's management of this rule is not very strict. Even if students form small groups in private, they will not be punished by the school.The Runes are an unsanctioned student organization.

Mesa wanted to get the runes out of the water and speak out loudly, rather than hiding behind the scenes and being sneaky.Wizards should live in the land where the sun shines. Hiding in ditches and culverts is the behavior of rats.

Moreover, the purpose of the secret association of Slytherin House students is to discuss and study magic, and the sense of déjà vu is too strong.To put it lightly, this is stroking Dumbledore's beard.

If everything is laid out openly and student mutual aid learning groups are formed openly, no one can find fault.Students love learning and magic. It’s hard for Dumbledore to refuse such a passionate heart, right?

This is not a conspiracy, it is purely a matter of following the rules and regulations.

"But will Professor Snape approve our application?" Someone asked worriedly, "It is said to be a student mutual aid study group, but as long as he sees the member list, Professor Snape can know our actual situation."

These words caused many people to nod in agreement. Professor Snape's position was indeed an issue that could not be ignored.

Few students knew that Snape had been a Death Eater, but judging from his past behavior, it would not be easy to gain approval.Once Snape rejected the formation application, the act of submitting the application form was counterproductive.

At the end of the day, the Runes are still a secret society of students.It would be futile to draw water from a bamboo basket, and it would also expose oneself to Professor Snape, which would outweigh the gain and loss.

"Professor Snape was also a Slytherin when he was a student. Wouldn't he know about the 'runes'?" Lilia asked, "I guess he knows more about the development of the runes than we do."

Judging from the age of Severus Snape, the period when he studied at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was an era when pure-blood students were running rampant in the academy, and he himself was a Slytherin—— The possibility that Snape didn't know about runes was even less likely than the possibility that he wasn't good at brewing potions.

"But even if Professor Snape knows about the runes, this is completely different from him approving our application and allowing us to form an association." Cooper said, "He can completely ban us from forming an association, or he can not allow us to continue to gather."

Lilia wanted to refute the other party's remarks, but Gemma Farley moved faster than her.

Gemma said: "I haven't done anything. I'm just worried about this and that. Let's just leave the meeting and don't do anything!"

Cooper and Clemont's faces turned blue and white. They were not timid, but just raised their reasonable concerns.They still retain their past ideas and have not adapted to the changes in the group.

"Stop talking, Gemma!" Gascoigne said, "We are discussing, and naturally different voices are allowed to appear. Apologize to Cooper and Clemont!"

Although there was dissatisfaction in Gemma Farley's eyes, she still apologized obediently. Cooper and Clemont, who looked ugly, also waved their hands to indicate that they did not mind her rudeness.

Mesa saw all this, and although he did not show his emotions, he shook his head in his heart.

The Rune Snake is a student organization, and the current situation will inevitably occur. You and I will discuss a simple matter over and over again.

But the last thing the Rune Snake needs at this stage is discussion.If they want to grow and develop, from a small group to a group with more influence, the Runes need a courageous leader and someone who can make the final decision.

Mesa looked at Gascoigne, who happened to also look over.Their eyes met, and they read the words in each other's eyes.

Another big reason why Gascoigne invited Mesa to join the Runes was that he hoped Mesa could be the "final decision" person.Say what you say, do what you say, and lead the Rune Snake through thorns and thorns.

Withdrawing his gaze, Mesa said, "You don't need to worry about this matter. I will be in charge of Professor Snape."

With Mesa coming forward, the discussion on this matter has finally settled and reached a conclusion.

After applying to Professor Snape for formation, Runes gradually came to the forefront, and based on this, they promoted the concept of equality and eliminated blood discrimination in the wizarding world.

The members walked out of the secret room one by one, and everyone said hello to Mesa before leaving, including Cooper and Clemon, who always had different opinions.

Mesa sighed, he had thought simply before.If you want to use the rune snake for your own use, you still need to polish it well.
