#240 - Split

Although he repeatedly reminded himself to do as the Romans do, he still instinctively felt uncomfortable. Now, he only trusted his own power and would only protect himself and what he valued. Furthermore, he would no longer accept anyone giving him orders!

So, with him, unless he felt a strong emotional connection, he would be willing to help for free; otherwise, everything had a price.

"Are you so sure I can bring change to Slytherin?" Anduin didn't react to Snape's mention of honor, but calmly retorted.

"I can see the changes you've brought to Velen, Ib, Charles, and Bill. Of course, Vivian is an exception; you seem to have only helped her gain a dozen pounds. Interestingly, there are even two Gryffindor students in the mix. It seems you haven't fully considered yourself a member of Slytherin," Snape said with a sarcastic tone, seeing that Anduin was unmoved.

Slytherin? I initially wanted to integrate, but these good students in the house don't seem willing to accept me, Anduin thought wryly.

Alright, since you mention a sense of honor, I'll let Slytherin know what true honor is.

"In that case, I agree to your request, but..." Anduin's lips curled up, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. "Since you want me to manage Slytherin, it must be done my way. If I'm going to manage it, I won't be careless, and even you can't interfere."

"It seems you're very confident," Snape smirked, knowing that this kid was reliable.

"Since you trust me, I will naturally give you a perfect answer. I can assure you that the House Cup will only appear in the Slytherin common room from now on," Anduin sneered. This was your choice, don't regret it later.

"I hope so," Snape raised his eyebrows in surprise. This kid really dared to talk big, hopefully he wasn't just bragging to me.

For Anduin, agreeing to Snape's request was partly to fulfill his bet and partly to repay him for the 'Sectumsempra' counter-curse.

Mainly, this spell was just too good. Its attack speed was fast, and its lethality was not weak. It had now become his commonly used attack spell.

After leaving Snape's office, Anduin carefully considered the matter. Since he had agreed to the promise, he had to do his best. Therefore, he needed to carefully observe the problems that currently existed in Slytherin house.

Previously, he didn't care about this area at all, nor was he concerned. Velen, Ib, and others rarely mentioned relevant content in front of him, only Vivian would occasionally mention a few gossip she didn't know where she heard it from.

"This should be the time when the common room is more lively, so let's start with the common room first," Anduin nodded, and then set off for the Slytherin common room.

When he arrived at the stone door in the basement, he happened to encounter a female student from his house holding a stack of books, preparing to enter. She must have just returned from borrowing books from the library. She seemed to be a half-blood classmate one grade below him, was her name Mona?

Mona was obviously surprised to see Anduin at this time, and looked at him a few more times with some surprise, then nodded stiffly to Anduin, and didn't dare to strike up a conversation.

Anduin also smiled and nodded in return, and then followed behind Mona, entering the common room together.

Coincidentally, in the passage leading to the common room, several students were walking out, chatting and laughing.

Anduin recognized one of the girls at a glance, Millie Osbourne. The people beside her were also pure-blood little witches, but they weren't the ones who needed to pay him protection fees every month.

When this group of little witches encountered Mona, the two sides didn't react at all. There was no greeting, not even eye contact, as if they were strangers passing by.

But when Millie Osbourne saw Anduin behind Mona, her face instantly became stiff, and then she immediately lowered her head, not daring to look at him at all, and just slipped past him, finally rushing out of the stone door as if fleeing.

Am I that scary? She's not even grateful for the beauty treatment I gave her before, Anduin shook his head helplessly, then continued into the common room.

At this time, there were many little wizards active in the Slytherin common room. Some students were writing homework at the coffee table in front of the fireplace, some were playing wizard chess by the wall, and there were even two mahjong tables rattling, with many little wizards watching them play.

After seeing Anduin walk in, a group of little wizards curiously looked sideways, as if they had seen some rare animal. Many of them may not have spoken to him in the few years since they entered school, and they were a little curious as to why he suddenly appeared.

Anduin didn't care about this scene and went directly to the dormitory. He didn't communicate with anyone along the way, and the little wizards present didn't dare to interrupt and talk.

However, after entering the dormitory, Anduin immediately cast a Disillusionment Charm on himself, and then returned to the common room. He planned to take some time to carefully observe everyone.

Although everything seemed normal in the entire common room, and these little wizards were doing their own things, the sharp-eyed Anduin could still notice that these little snakes seemed to be divided into independent small groups, with no communication or communication between them, as if separated by transparent walls.

Moreover, he noticed that these small groups were not completely composed of pure-blood wizards and half-blood wizards, forming two major camps as he had imagined.

These students within Slytherin were completely divided into several large and small collectives. Some were buried in books and homework like nerds, some were laughing and playing without regard to others, and some gathered in piles to play cards and chess.

There was not even eye contact between these small groups, and the occasional eye contact was filled with an invisible indifference. Apart from the people in their own small group, they completely treated others as air.

Anduin took out his usual clipboard, looked at everything in front of him, silently recorded his findings, and then classified them one by one.

"The internal division of Slytherin is more serious than I thought. It seems that the storm last year is still having an impact, but this is a good social ecological experiment," Anduin nodded secretly. The current situation aroused his great interest.
