#20 - Chapter 20 The New Official's Third Fire
Arriving outside the Slytherin common room, Sebastian gave Snape a meaningful look.
"The password?"
Snape glanced at Sebastian with disdain, stepped forward, and said to the stone wall outside the common room:
"Pure-blood!"
A stone door appeared on the stone wall, then slowly opened.
Only when the stone door was completely open did the two of them enter one after the other.
As he entered the common room, Sebastian muttered to himself.
Pure-blood?
What era is this? Still using such an outdated password...
Besides, you're a half-blood wizard, what are you getting so excited about?
I'll change this stupid password later.
Change it to "Glory."
Or "Unity" would also work.
After all, unity is the main theme of Hogwarts going forward.
After entering the common room, it was already densely packed with Slytherin students.
They were all excitedly discussing the remodeled common room.
"Professor!"
"Professor Swann!"
Seeing Snape and Sebastian enter, the students greeted them one after another.
Some students were also secretly whispering to their companions.
"I told you Professor Snape changed his hairstyle! Look how flowing it is now!"
"He didn't change his hairstyle, look again carefully!"
"Oh, I was wrong, he probably just washed his hair."
"What shampoo is that? It smells pretty good!"
Hearing the students' whispers, Sebastian almost laughed out loud.
But considering Snape's face, he had to try hard to recall a sad memory to suppress his laughter.
So hard!
Snape's face was a little dark, but he didn't get angry. He simply waved his wand and transformed a chair into a half-meter-high platform.
He cleared his throat, attracting the attention of the students.
"Now, we will have a short meeting, with Professor Swann speaking!"
Good job, Snape, you deliberately conjured up a platform to let me show off, huh?
With such petty thoughts...
Tch!
Then I'll just be high-profile.
Sebastian put his thoughts aside, stepped onto the platform, and said confidently to the students:
"Hello, Slytherin students."
"Today, I want to talk to you as a Slytherin about the issue of Slytherin's honor."
"Before coming here, I discovered that Slytherin has won the House Cup for five consecutive years."
"That's great, very good, I'm proud of you!"
"But... I heard some different opinions from some graduates."
Sebastian paused, looking around at the students.
Very quiet! No one interrupted him.
Although they didn't speak, their eyes were full of curiosity and questions.
"Some people say that our Slytherin's House Cup victories are not honorable."
"I was very angry and questioned them why they said that."
"They said that our Quidditch victories rely on dirty fouls."
"They said that Professor Snape is extremely biased towards Slytherin, often deducting points from other houses for no reason."
"They said that in this unfair situation, the House Cup won by Slytherin is a joke."
"I want to ask you, are you angry when you hear these accusations?"
"You!"
"You!"
"And you!"
"Are you angry?!"
Sebastian looked at the students one by one. To his relief, he saw shame and anger in the eyes of some of the students!
"Professor! What should we do?!" The Slytherin prefect stood up and asked Sebastian.
"Yes, Professor, what should we do!" The students were excited and echoed.
How dare they question our glory!
Although Professor Snape deducts more points from other houses.
But our grades are solid.
Except for the Ravenclaw students who can compete with us in terms of grades, the other two houses are completely useless.
"From today on! Professor Snape will become fair."
"He will make changes and no longer favor you, but treat every student in every house fairly."
"As for you, I want you to study hard! Prove yourselves with your grades and strength!"
"Members of the Quidditch team, I want you to train hard and improve yourselves. Use clean victories to shut everyone up."
"I want all of you to work together and win this year's House Cup with the cleanest and most beautiful results."
"Let everyone who looks down on Slytherin have nothing to say!"
Sebastian looked around at the students again and shouted loudly:
"Can you do it?!"
The students were inspired and shouted:
"Yes!"
"We can do it!"
"Glory to Slytherin!"
"Professor, what if someone provokes us?" Suddenly, a student asked a question that was not very harmonious with the current atmosphere.
"Provoke you?" Sebastian looked at the student who asked the question and chuckled:
"Why do I hear that you often provoke others?"
Sebastian's expression became serious.
"What are the characteristics of Slytherin?"
"Ambition!"
"Cunning!"
"A cunning Slytherin wouldn't make enemies everywhere."
"So, please restrain yourselves in the future and show the demeanor that Slytherin students should have."
"Verbal abuse is the behavior of cowards. You must learn to shut others up with impeccable victories!"
"What if someone provokes you?"
Sebastian raised his chest and said proudly:
"When I was studying at Hogwarts, I had a resounding nickname called 'The Arbiter'."
"If you encounter any provocation, any attack, any injustice, you can feel free to come to me."
"Some things are not convenient for Professor Snape to manage, but I can."
"From now on, I will manage what your head of house can manage!"
"I will manage even more what your head of house can't manage!"
"I won't let you be wronged."
Looking at the students who seemed to have been injected with chicken blood and were immersed in his power, Sebastian quickly added:
"Of course, let me say the ugly things first."
"If I find out that you are bullying others and embarrassing Slytherin."
"Don't blame me for not being lenient!"
...
After leaving the Slytherin common room, Sebastian felt very satisfied.
The third fire of the new official has finally been lit.
The professors can't be controlled for the time being, so let's pick the soft persimmons to pinch.
Let's burn this third fire on the Slytherin students first.
For the glory of Slytherin.
On the way back to the professors' dormitories, Sebastian patted Snape on the shoulder and encouraged him:
"Severus! You too, work hard!"
"Let these students see your change."
"Be a respected professor."
He raised his hand and pointed to the sky.
"Lily is watching you."
"Don't let her down."
Watching Snape's leaving figure, Sebastian thought silently in his heart.
Don't blame me for mentioning Lily again! Severus.
As long as you haven't completely changed.
This secret!
I'll live off it for the rest of my life!
