Science students at Hogwarts

Chapter 17 The Lion and the Snake

"Yesterday's humiliating defeat of the Quidditch school team has become the biggest topic in Hogwarts. Let's take a look at "The Quibbler"'s comments on this. Mr. Lovegood, who has always been straight-tempered, bluntly said: "This kind of loss , I’m afraid I won’t even lose face!”

As soon as he entered the Room of Requirement, Elios heard Justin reading the newspaper loudly.

"That's too much! How could they say that to us! Senior Higgs clearly caught the Golden Snitch!" Pansy was a little indignant.

"It looks like Krum let him do it on purpose. He is a reserve player in Bulgaria. How could he lose to an amateur team like ours?" McMillan interjected weakly.

But no one paid him any attention.

"The Quibbler is a garbage newspaper! I don't understand why such a ridiculous newspaper can still exist in the wizarding world." Hermione continued.

"'The Quibbler' sold more copies than 'The Daily Prophet' and everyone loved it..." MacMillan interjected.

"What's more, they violated the rules! Durmstrang's exchange students are getting more and more outrageous! They even started to target all Muggle-born students in the school!" Padma was also filled with indignation.

"I didn't see Durmstrang fouling..." McMillan muttered.

"Shut up, Ernie!" The three people turned to him at the same time and said, "I really don't understand, which side are you from?"

"I just want to tell the truth. Your views are too extreme..." Ernie felt aggrieved.

"Don't be too sad. We still have seven games this year..." Justin tried to adjust the atmosphere and comforted everyone.

"Can you win all seven games?" Padma sneered, "Can't you? It will be difficult!"

"I heard that they are going to replace the substitute. They are changing the soup without changing the medicine! What is the current level of Quidditch at the school? Can he play? Can't play. Do you know if he doesn't have the ability? If he continues, he will lose to Vargadu. After losing Durmstrang loses Beauxbatons magic and then loses Wagadu, then no one loses, no face, no face..."

"Good afternoon, haven't you guys gone to eat?" Elios couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted the argument.

"Elrios, didn't you go to Professor Snape?" Pansy was a little happy. He hadn't been to the Room of Requirement for a long time since Draco was injured.

"If I had known you would come, I would have waited for you after class! We are all eating here! Kevin and the others will bring lunch over soon. No one wants to see those arrogant barbarians."

"Draco asked me to rest for a few days while he went to help the professor. I came here to write a reply." Elios raised the letter in his hand.

Then he asked, "Don't Gryffindor and Hufflepuff have classes today?"

"In the first period in the afternoon, we have an herb class with Gryffindor. We will go directly to the greenhouse from here." Justin replied.

He continued, "I don't really want to go back to those exchange students who loudly mock all Muggleborns in the common room. But there are students like Krum, who will put a stop to them."

"It's even worse in Gryffindor. There's a lot of tension in the common room, as if a fight could start at any moment. Lavender and the others often scold them in the dormitory." Hermione also looked a little worried.

"I think they haven't learned enough lessons yet," Pansy said coldly.

"The school won't just sit idly by. Damn it, why are they so idle? Potions class is about to have its midterm exam, don't you care?" Hermione opened a potions book, looking very anxious.

"Hermione, there are still five weeks, don't worry, it's just a quiz, it's very simple." Elios reassured everyone.

The anxiety of the test successfully diverted their attention, and they talked about what they had learned recently.

Elios listened to their conversation casually while opening the letters. They all replied to the essence of magic.

Elios did not browse in detail. He simply categorized them first. These responses were all kinds of strange.

Among them, most people believe that magic comes from blood, and they are often members of pure-blood families. Other answers are varied: emotions, souls, etc...

Suddenly, Elios discovered that there was no reply from Lucius in it, and when he contacted his aunt's recent behavior, he seemed to understand something.

Pansy sat next to him at some point. She winked at him slyly and lowered her voice and asked, "Is Draco not hurt at all?"

Elios didn't deny it. He asked her when she found out with a bit of a smile.

He had expected Pansy to say something like how could anyone in the wizarding world be seriously injured enough to have to stay in bed for a week.

Who knew that her answer made Elios suddenly become serious.

"Otherwise, why don't you have any big revenge against Andre, unless Draco is not injured at all? Maybe their recent arrogance is also related to this matter. After all, they can escape unscathed after disturbing the top family in the UK... …”

This is not right!Elios clearly told Narcissa exactly what happened that night, and hinted that those gringos should be shown some shame.

He suspected that something had happened to Lucius, but he couldn't express it in front of Pansy, so he vaguely planned to fool him.

Unexpectedly, their most loyal allies, the Parkinson family, brought him another big news.

"My father asked me to tell you that the Crabbe family intends to cooperate with Northern Europe. They will sell the potion there. This time may be their test..."

Elios thanked her seriously and thought he should do something.

The atmosphere in Hogwarts became increasingly tense, and the senior students began to spontaneously protect the younger wizards.

After all, Draco's example is there, and Durmstrang doesn't talk about martial ethics.

Maybe Andre's family really didn't pay any real price. Durmstrang's exchange students became more and more unscrupulous, and the conflict came faster than expected.

But no one expected that this time Andre would target the savior.

Andre is very smart, he always tries the right way, and even if he offends the other party, he can immediately recover.

This was the case last time. If Draco hadn't insisted on one-on-one with Maren, he would have almost lost the face of Britain's top pure-blood family.

It was the same this time. He angered the famous savior at the Gryffindor table. The impulsive Ron agreed to the request for a midnight duel without hesitation.

After all, in Ron's opinion, even the Elios brothers could defeat him, and Malen's strength was just that, and he and Harry could handle it.

Unfortunately, it backfired as Harry and Harry were knocked unconscious by each other and lay in the trophy room until Filch discovered them.

Professor McGonagall was shaking with rage when she found out what they had done, and she mercilessly deducted forty points from Gryffindor.

To make matters worse, all the students caught by Filch had to help Professor Snape handle potion materials, and Harry had to face Snape's torture.

It's only been a month since school started, and Gryffindor is at the bottom of the queue.All Gryffindor's anger was directed at them both and the exchange student at Durmstrang.

Lee Jordan blamed himself very much because the Weasley twins asked him to look after their younger brother when they went to Durmstrang, but they didn't expect such a big mistake to happen.

He secretly contacted a few good friends and quietly placed the big dung egg in Gryffindor's exchange student dormitory.

The angry Durmstrang student cursed repeatedly in the common room. The little lions were all snickering until he cursed a snickering marrow wizard Mudblood, and everyone's expressions changed.

The little lions were excited and demanded an apology from the unscrupulous exchange students, but the Durmstrang students insisted that they were right. Apologize?no way!duel?OK!

Several prefects tried their best to control the situation and avoid conflicts. Several smart students had already gone to find Professor McGonagall and Lockhart.

McGonagall was troubled by this group of troublemaking little lions, and she was also angry at the exchange students' discrimination against Muggles.

She ignored Lockhart, who was jumping up and down and fuming, and planned to bring Lee Jordan, the culprit, and several exchange students to Dumbledore's office.

Unexpectedly, Dumbledore was out on business, so she could only suppress the matter for the time being and wait for Dumbledore to come back to discuss it later.

At this time, Gryffindor was like a powder keg that would be ignited at some point.

However, no one expected that the first conflict to break out would be Slytherin.

In Slytherin, the law of the jungle and factions have become the norm.

Elios and Draco also recruited a group of inconspicuous hybrids, and Higgs was one of them.

Higgs actually didn't want to get involved in this kind of struggle. He knew clearly that without a prominent family background, he would only become cannon fodder in Slytherin.

However, Elios and the others gave too much!

As the saying goes, "Orcs will never be slaves unless they have food and shelter." After Draco promised him a decent job, and considering Malfoy's always good reputation, he resolutely joined.

Recently, as the Seeker who caught the Golden Snitch and saved Hogwarts' face, he really stole the show and even had a bumper harvest in love and career.

The exchange students were not so happy. They initially targeted Krum for not catching the snitch.

But Krum is not a vegetarian. As a reserve player for Bulgaria, he has an extremely outstanding advantage - he can play.

After a harmonious and friendly physical exchange, they targeted Higgs.

Higgs turns to Elios for help, and for Elios, it's like giving him a pillow for a nap.

After vaguely feeling that his uncle was in trouble, he guessed two possibilities:

First, Lucius was seriously injured, and he soon ruled out this possibility. Who dared to attack the most powerful head of the family in Daiying?And my aunt didn't show any sadness.

The second is that he has a major task, maybe a big business, or maybe it's Dumbledore's secret assignment - related to Horcruxes.

When it comes to his own stable life in the future, Elios doesn't dare to speak out rashly. He plans to use Black's power to demonstrate.

It's a pity that the Black family's sphere of influence has not touched the Nordic side in recent years, and it is beyond his reach to do anything to Andre.

He could only ask Dora George to think of a way, and George asked him to try to contact the Flint family, but this would take time.

It would be easy to attack Crabbe, but once the purebloods test Malfoy's attitude, wouldn't it be a disservice?

So things froze.

Fortunately, Andre is there.

After Andre attacked Higgs several times, Elios directly upgraded it to: the Nordic barbarian shamelessly attacked Slytherin in an attempt to occupy Slytherin!

Then, while telling the outside world that this was just children's play, he dragged all Slytherins into trouble, claiming that this was a battle to defend honor.

Under his instigation, a fight broke out in the common room at the end of September. Even though Durmstrang students were very good at fighting in groups, there were so many Slytherins!

Sixty to five, the advantage is mine!

Professor Snape was very angry. Several exchange students were already lying in the school doctor's office. Such a big fight could not be suppressed at all.

If points were deducted, Slytherin would not be enough even if he overdrawed all his points for the next ten years.

Fortunately, there were conflicts of varying scales in several other colleges. The deans unanimously decided to take everyone to solitary confinement and wait until Dumbledore came back to discuss the matter.

Elios didn't mind this kind of punishment. Anyway, he stayed in the Potions Office every day to work and it was no different from being in confinement.

Although the other little snakes were imprisoned, they gained the admiration of all Hogwarts.

No matter where they went, they were greeted with cheers. They repeated the events of the day over and over again, and several people became singles one after another.

Before going to the potions office, Elios made a special trip to the school doctor's office to see Andre.

"Andre, are you okay here?" He casually put down a bouquet of beautifully wrapped white lilies, as if he meant something.

"Just rest in peace and recover. I think the environment at Hogwarts is much better than Durmstrang."

The situation in Durmstrang, far away in Northern Europe, is indeed not very good.

On the one hand, the price of Nordic herbal medicines continued to drop, causing economic fluctuations. On the other hand, Durmstrang's Quidditch players frequently suffered accidental injuries.

"Flint" Fred, encouraged by others, stopped his captain with some anxiety.

He glanced quickly at Durmstrang's students and asked in a low voice, "Those accidents..."

"Mr. Weasley," Flint interrupted, smiling meaningfully, "I don't know anything."
