Chapter 21 Madman, bastard, scoundrel, fool
After Andrew briefly told what happened, the person in charge of new students asked Andrew to go to the main gathering place to call people, and hurried over.
However, when Andrew went to the meeting place to pull people over and ran over, it was too late.
The three senior students had already disappeared, and half of the students who stayed in the room were deceived.
"I also noticed that something was wrong, but the other party said that they could not bring any more trouble to the original owner, and that one good gesture was enough."
"After simply selling half of the items, they pretended to go to the toilet and ran away without even taking the remaining items - I thought they would not give up the items, so I didn't notice."
"When we left temporarily, they said they were not worried about us stealing at all, because anyone who dared to steal would be prepared to be fired..."
In the words of the remaining people, the truth of the matter was quickly spelled out.
After Andrew left, those guys quickly realized something was wrong and began to stabilize people and prepare to run away. However, three unlucky guys who did not resist the temptation handed over Galleons.
Some people also saw that something was wrong and wanted to follow Andrew's example and leave. Instead, the other party took the opportunity to pretend to be intimidating and force the purchase, and misjudged the other party's intentions.
And within such a short period of time after they made excuses to leave and everyone woke up, they took advantage of their familiarity with the school roads and ran away.
"Find those bastards and report them to the school!"
"What's the reason?"
The senior who was invited by Andrew snorted coldly, "The price of the notebook is not transparent to begin with. Under the premise of saying it is a fair transaction, Galleons can't deal with this, and - do you think it's really those people? ?”
He checked the remaining goods, "They are all imported goods. I guess people also used Polyjuice Potion... just to make us make a fool of ourselves and get some money back - it's really a luxury. Even if we cheated them all, we still can't get the potion." money."
With a bit of disgust, the senior Ravenclaw zeroed in on the perpetrator.
"Those guys who admire loopholes and like to take advantage of them - they thought they found our loopholes, so they prepared an activity that they could brag about.
"But they didn't expect that they would be discovered so quickly, and even release someone who was very likely to see through their plan - so they quickly changed their strategy and got away."
After looking at the people who had seen through the scam with admiration, he said in a regretful tone to those who had spent Galleons, "The team will replenish the Galleons you were deceived, but you don't need to attend the subsequent gatherings. You will be assessed every year before fifth grade. If you still maintain your previous ideals, you can try again later. "
"As for you, the others will take the second assessment. As for Andrew," the senior extended his hand, "Welcome to join our mutual aid group. If you don't mind, we will have the simplest group joining conversation."
When leading Andrew to leave, the senior student seemed to remember something and shouted to the person who had previously been responsible for guiding him; "Thank you, classmate Andrew, Dan, for not completely messing up your guidance this time... I paid a fine of thirty galleons afterward." ”
——
"I was in a hurry and didn't have time to introduce myself. I'm Connie, Connie Bruce, a sixth grader."
In another empty classroom with no one around, Andrew and Connie sat face to face and started the so-called group conversation.
"There are very few freshmen who pass the assessment and join on the first day - if you go by quality alone, you will probably be the first."
He sat over there and said in a very gentle tone, "What do you think of the Ministry of Magic?"
"Legitimate and sole existence."
Andrew gave an unmistakable answer.
"A very cunning answer..." Connie smiled, "But it's completely correct." "If you ask me to evaluate, it is an institution that rules a world composed of lunatics, mediocre people, mentally retarded and emotionally irritable people..."
‘Why don’t you just say that lunatics, bastards, fools and scoundrels are made up of…’
Andrew complained internally, but showed a puzzled expression to invite the next answer.
"The crazy ones are of course us -" Connie pointed at himself and Andrew, "most of the Ravenclaws."
“Wisdom is endlessly poisonous, and everyone is putting their wisdom where they like, especially those who take advantage of loopholes in the rules.
"If you ask me, it wouldn't be a problem if the entire Ravenclaws were sent to Azkaban...
"But the Ministry of Magic obviously won't do this. Do you know where the backbone of the Ministry of Magic is?"
Andrew thought for a moment, "Hufflepuff?"
"Exactly, Hufflepuff, because they have the most numbers - but they're not that good at dealing with Ravenclaws, so we joined in."
"And, you have to know, Andrew, Hufflepuff not only has the largest number of Ministry of Magic personnel, but also the largest number of ordinary wizards - so they are the most peaceful, and even the vast majority of Hufflepuffs come to Hogwart Just to get through my student life and find a job.”
"As for Gryffindor, they don't like peaceful days the most. They are brave enough to face changes, and sometimes even try to change something regardless of the consequences... They will never wait quietly for changes, they always want to participate."
"The remaining Slytherins... what they hate most is change," Connie shook his head, "because they are the majority in terms of conditions... In fact, many wizards believe that if they want to develop, they need to absorb wizards born from Muggles. But Slytherin is the most disgusted...because they can't ensure that they can still maintain their current strength after new blood joins."
"If you ask me, Slytherin is a group of smart people who lead a large number of fools...and in order to maintain the support of fools, smart people must pretend to be fools most of the time..."
"Actually, sometimes I have an illusion," Connie waved his hand. "In fact, there are very few fools, but most Slytherins pretend to be fools to ensure that they are not invited out - because they are too rigid. A fool cannot become smart enough to lead a fool, he can only pretend to be a fool to avoid being excluded.”
'No matter what you say, you can see a bunch of fools, right...'
"So, in Hogwarts we cannot offend Hufflepuff, the majority group, because there are many people, we cannot offend Gryffindor, because they do not care about gains and losses before fighting, and we cannot offend Slytherin..."
'So, the internal fighting started...'
Andrew does not agree with the other party, but he will not say it to his face, because this kind of paranoid is not only good at blaming others, but also spares no effort to attack opponents.
…
"It seems that we have reached a preliminary consensus - welcome to join, Andrew, for the first regular meeting this Wednesday afternoon in the classroom on the second floor."
"Okay, I'll be there on time."
"Well, let's talk about your final thoughts. You are a good listener, but I want to hear your opinion."
Andrew was stunned for a moment, then sarcastically summed up the senior's point of view.
"We at Ravenclaw discriminate equally against every house."
"Ha ha."
To his surprise, Connie laughed, "Yes, we discriminate equally against every college."
