Chapter 66: Just the Revenge of a Small Hufflepuff...

This weekend's early morning felt like a nightmare to Marcus Flint, the Slytherin third-year student. He couldn't quite grasp how his morning had gone so wrong. He felt like he shouldn't be standing; perhaps he should be hanging from the roof.

Wilson watched as Marcus beat up the Slytherin senior who had been disrespectful.

Wilson wasn't a bad person, and he even tried to defend Marcus. "Think about it, if he can't stay in the infirmary, our Hufflepuff classmates can't study in peace, and your Slytherin classmates would face the same thing again..."

"...I know," Marcus gritted his teeth.

As Marcus responded to Wilson, he continued to hit his senior Slytherin harder and harder. He just wanted to end everything as soon as possible!

"Wilson..."

Some of the Hufflepuff students felt uneasy.

Even the boldest among them, Tonks, didn't want to see this scene.

If Tonks had to use her wand to attack a Slytherin student, she might not feel much psychological pressure, but seeing a Slytherin student beating up another student made her feel a bit uncomfortable.

"I understand," Wilson nodded to his classmates, signaling them to leave. "Let's go have breakfast, the rest is up to Slytherin to deal with themselves..."

As Wilson left, he glanced at Marcus, who seemed a bit overwhelmed. "Mr. Flint, we should all pray to Merlin that there won't be any more innocent victims in the future, and that you'll be able to sleep peacefully..."

"..."

Marcus clenched his fists, his teeth grinding near his senior's face!

At that moment...

He seemed to have mistaken his senior for Wilson!

At that moment...

He seemed to want to vent his own fear too!

Not just fear of Wilson, but more of having to face his own classmates after Wilson left...

No one in the world likes traitors.

If Marcus wanted to be accepted by Slytherin again, he had to prove his worth.

Fortunately, Slytherin was never really united; everyone had their own thoughts.

Marcus's mind wasn't that foolish; he knew there would be people who hated Wilson.

There would also be people who, like him, feared retaliation from Wilson.

"We must temporarily cease hostilities with Wilso- I mean Hufflepuff," Marcus waved his wand to release his friend, starting his explanation. "This is just a temporary retreat. Hufflepuff has a large number of people, and our advantage has never been here. If we continue like this, we'll just keep fighting with Hufflepuff, and even weekends won't be peaceful..."

"Marcus, continue," a seventh-year Slytherin girl gestured for him to continue.

Marcus immediately had an idea, knowing that if one person accepted his proposal, there would definitely be a second person influenced by them. He seemed to have found his rhythm.

Marcus looked at many of the frowning students present and continued. "Everything is just temporary. We just have to face the current situation. The school was suddenly closed some time ago, and we can't use owls temporarily..."

"As long as the school closure is lifted, or our Christmas vacation arrives, we can tell our families. Many of us have parents who are members of the school board. Let them pressure the school, and they will definitely expel Wilson and Tonks..."

Marcus was right.

These Slytherin students had been bullied because Hogwarts had erected defensive wards against Peter Pettigrew. The interruption of owls meant they couldn't contact their families.

Otherwise, conflicts within Hogwarts would have been reported, and a group of Slytherin students would definitely have complained to their parents.

Those from families on the school board would have written to Hogwarts, questioning Dumbledore's handling of the school conflict and demanding the expulsion of the troublesome Hufflepuff students.

Many Slytherin students knew this, as did Marcus.

Whether at school or after graduation...

Slytherin is always in a superior position.

This was also why they had always looked down on Hufflepuff, and now they were being suppressed by the very Hufflepuff students they had always looked down upon. This would be a disgrace of the entire Slytherin house in front of everyone in Hogwarts, if it got out...

It wasn't difficult for these students to use their family backgrounds.

These Slytherin students didn't yet know what kind of enemy they were facing, and they still retained the innocence and ignorance taught by their parents...

If Slytherin really did such a silly thing...

It would probably be considered by Wilson as causing trouble for their families themselves.

Wilson had considered this issue at the beginning of the school year.

Now Wilson was plotting against the strongest wizards in the magical world, Dumbledore and Voldemort.

A group of Slytherin students, however, could only be considered as spices in life...

It's a pity.

The forbidden truth is always touched upon before being buried.

The Slytherin students didn't understand the truth. Most of these naive Slytherins had already accepted Marcus's proposal, which was also the Slytherin way of doing things.

"It's just a matter of endurance..." a senior Slytherin student coughed lightly, continuing, "Let's go along with Marcus's plan... After Christmas, that little devil won't be able to stay at Hogwarts anymore!"

"That's for sure."

Marcus assured his classmates confidently. He even suggested, "And before the Christmas holiday, we still have a Quidditch match with Hufflepuff. We can let Hufflepuff know the consequences of angering Slytherin..."

Hogwarts students knew.

Hufflepuff's Quidditch team always played poorly.

Slytherin's Quidditch team had always been their pride and joy, and it was also an important point for Slytherin to win the House Cup. They were very good at Quidditch.

Most importantly...

Slytherin's players also loved violent Quidditch.

Marcus Flint looked at the senior Slytherin he had injured and quickly continued: "On the day of the Quidditch match, we can openly send all the Hufflepuff Quidditch players to the infirmary..."

"That sounds satisfying..."

Another senior Slytherin student agreed with his suggestion but quickly raised a new question, "The problem is, after the Quidditch match, there's still a day before the school holidays. Wilso- I mean the Hufflepuff students will definitely retaliate..."

"It's just one day..."

"No matter what they want to do, they only have one day left."

These Slytherin students didn't think one day's time was a problem at all. Only a few Quidditch players were a bit dissatisfied with what Marcus said because it was too dangerous for them.
