Chapter 33

Severus's smile suddenly wiped out when he looked at others' faces and said with a fake cough," Ahem, I have just thought of a solution by which the hatred between the house will be able to decrease for us but it will take time for it and I will need everyone's approval for it too."

Everyone nodded and Severus started to explain his plan," So the plan is...."

In Great Hall

the members of other houses were sitting at their table while looking at Dumbledore who was ready to make an announcement and said," Now that everyone knows about the Student Council, then we can move forward with choosing the first president of the student council. which will be elected by Astarot's members so please the person who is selected by everyone, please stand up." Dumbledore gives them a mischievous smile while looking towards them with interest.

Everyone looked at Astarot's table and the members of Astarot ignored everyone's gaze and looked into each other's eyes and nodded at the same time.

Severus exhaled and stand up from his seat, as the sign of him being the elected person. Everyone was shocked mostly Slytherin. the other three houses looked towards Amelia and Regulus with curiosity while Slytherin looked at them with contempt and disgust as it was an attack on their pride as pure blood.

Amelia and Regulus lowered their heads with embarrassment but suddenly two of them felt a hand on their shoulder. when they lifted their heads, they saw Lily and Hope giving them a reassuring smile which give them a strange feeling that felt like everything will be alright when all of them are together.

Suddenly the seventh year from Slytherin shouted," HOW COULD THIS HALF-BLOOD BECOME THE PRESIDENT OF COUNCIL, WE WON'T ACCEPT IT NO MATTER WHAT."

Professor Slughorn was about to shut him up but Severus turned his eyes towards the seventh year and give him a death stare. The seventh-year flinched and his body suddenly froze at his place.

Severus said," If someone will become strong or worthy of being the president of the council will not be decided by a person who thinks he is superior to others just because of his family background and not capability."

The boy's face became ugly and he said with anger," You...you...what did you say, you think you are more capable than us the seventh years and can handle everything properly."

Severus smirked and said," If you think that you are more suitable for this position then you should wait for my next announcement which will let all those people who think that they should be the members of the student council, not us."

Everyone looked at him with a serious expression and Dumbledore said pretending to handle the situation, "Childrens I think if everything is alright we should move toward the ceremony*he turned toward the Slytherin student* we will decide your punishment for your behaviour and 10 points will be deducted from Slytherin."

The Slytherin student sits down with a downcast look and Dumbledore continue the ceremony, he waved his wand and a gold medal came flying and attached to Severus's robe.

Lady Hogwarts stand up and said," As the President of Student Council, I would like Mr Snape to say something to every student."

Severus smiled and looked at everyone's hateful eyes and said," I know none of you is happy with us being the student council members but if I have to say my mind then I don't care about your opinions."

When Severus started his speech the faces of the professors started to change continuously and nonstop. Their faces become ugly and Severus's smile also widens seeing their faces.

Severus continued to say," So after thinking a lot about it me and my housemates decided to introduce a concept of house wars, with this from next month's last date we will arrange a competition of duels every month in which all houses will compete with us and if they win we will have to resign from the council and winner house will become next head of council."

Everyone was stunned by this announcement except Astarot's and three headmasters understood what he is trying to do by this and they were impressed by his move.

Severus smiled and looked at Dumbledore to say something but this time Kaito said," It is a very good approach by Mr Snape as it will give every house a chance to become member council and I also want to say that the identity of the Student council is special among students so you should wear uniforms different from the rest. the designs of these uniforms are left to your choice."

Severus smiled and said," Thank you headmaster I will look into it and as for chance, there was no chance for anyone from the moment we become the student council."

The headmasters nodded and Severus left with his friends while other students looked at them with one last glance of hatred and also went their way.

Severus and the group come back to their house and Severus took out his wound and cast a spell at Regulus and Amelia," Memoria cincinno"

Regulus and Amelia were confused and Amelia asked," What was that spell?"

Severus smiled and said," it is a memory locking spell which will help you when someone tries to read your mind until both of you learn Occlumency and to a very advanced level too because the headmasters will be very curious related to our next step."

Amelia," But isn't it against the rules to read anyone's mind on the campus."

Severus said," Every rule is only for professors and students but to those three headmasters it is nothing as even the ministry of magic can't take action directly against them because of their power. Now it is time for all of you to go to classes and I will give you your uniforms at night."

Everyone nodded and left with their books leaving Severus standing there with a smile on his face which immediately wiped out and Severus walked towards his room.
