From Hogwarts to Strixhaven.

Chapter 19: Restoring Slytherin's Glory is Our Duty

Ivy was undoubtedly provoking the entire Slytherin class in the common room.

The senior Slytherin students who had been enjoying the fun looked at each other in bewilderment; no one had expected the situation to develop so suddenly.

"Ivy? Can I call you Ivy?" The female prefect, Gemma Farley, who was still standing in front of the first-year students, raised her palm and wand to her chest to show Ivy that she had no hostility. "Actually... you don't have to do that... The silent disarming spell just now has fully demonstrated your strength."

"I believe that among the first-year students... no, perhaps among all Slytherin students, you are second to none. But believe me, provoking the entire school will only make you many unnecessary enemies... and we - the pure-blood family, should be your allies..."

A smile appeared on Ivy's face, and Gemma Farley breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it, and the atmosphere eased a little.

"If you can't suppress them, win them over. That's a good strategy." Ivy said with a smile, "But you, you all, seem to have forgotten. Only those with equal or similar strength can become allies."

Gemma Farley's heart, which had just been relieved, rose to her throat again.

She didn't expect that this handsome and polite-looking child would actually be a lunatic. Not only did he knock down a senior wizard who was much older than him with one move, but he even persisted and insisted on challenging all the senior students of Slytherin at the same time.

Although pure-blood wizards like them do put self-preservation first, that doesn't mean they will remain indifferent to real provocations. Maybe it's time to let him know what the sky is high and the earth is thick!

Even if he could handle one senior easily, what about five? Ten? A hundred?
"Come on, pick up your wand and show me if you're worthy of it." Before Gemma Farley had finished preparing herself mentally, she heard Ivy's ultimatum.

"I... huh - I'll disarm you!" Gemma Farley exhaled, and then suddenly attacked. A red spell shot out, almost like a sneak attack. Ordinary people would never be able to react at this distance.

"Armor." The spell Ivy used to deal with it was steady and calm. The Ash Snakes who were poaching in the Forbidden Forest were much more ruthless than this young wizard who had not yet stepped out of the ivory tower. The attack of the female class leader was as slow as a turtle in his eyes, so of course he could deal with it easily.

The red light from the Disarming Spell hit the purple shield summoned by Ivy, and then bounced back the same way. Gemma Farley only had time to groan before the wand changed hands.

"A sneak attack is a good tactic, but next time you execute it, don't keep staring at where you want to aim, otherwise it will be too easy to expose your intentions." Ivy threw Gemma Farley's wand on the ground and gave her advice.

This is equivalent to showing an expression after killing the opponent alone, and then typing taunts on the public screen after showing the expression. It is simply killing people.

At first, Gemma Farley thought Ivy was showing mercy, because she didn't like the sight of a man lying on the ground with a disarming spell. But after hearing what Ivy said, her little Slytherin pride suddenly felt that it would be better to just faint.

"Except for this female prefect, is there no one who dares to take another step forward?" Ivy didn't intend to let the other Slytherins go. He waved his wand and made all the expensive furniture in the common room make way. Then he continued to taunt, "When did Slytherin's pride turn into cowardice? What you have done is simply bringing shame to the so-called pure-blood family."

"Come on, it's better to die standing than live on your knees." Ivy continued to tempt him, "Besides, even if you really kneel down, I may not let you go."

"How dare you!" Finally someone stood up. The freckled boy spitted all over his face, his tongue almost reaching his eyes. "Do you know who my father is? He's in the Ministry of Magic...ah!"

"I don't know, and I'm not interested in knowing." Ivy interrupted his speech with a silent spell in disappointment, causing him to fall asleep unpeacefully. "What a mob. Don't you know anything except big talk?" Ever since Voldemort brought his crappy pure-blood theory to win over most of the pure-blood wizards and fought a protracted war with the Order of the Phoenix led by Dumbledore.

The so-called pure-blood wizarding families today are nothing but a bunch of indecisive and timid wastes.

After all, the wizards who believed in the pure-blood theory either died in the war or are still imprisoned in Azkaban.

The wizards who followed Voldemort in the beginning were mainly composed of three groups. The first was Voldemort's most loyal followers. Some of them followed him because of the pure-blood theory, and some because of the power of the Dark Lord himself. Therefore, no matter what insane actions Voldemort took, they would follow him unconditionally. Representative figures were the Lestranges, Barty Crouch Jr., and others.

Therefore, after Voldemort himself was defeated by Harry Potter, they could not accept this fact at all and continued to stir up trouble in the wizarding world, so they were quickly arrested and brought to justice.

The second group is the aristocratic speculators headed by the Malfoy family. Most of them just hope to use Voldemort's power to gain more living space and power in the British wizarding world. So at the beginning, they only regarded Voldemort as a funding object and a front-stage spokesperson, but they did not expect that the latter really played the dark magic and created the "Dark Mark", a profound dark magic brand.

Therefore, when the "Dark Mark" was added, these guys who thought they were the sponsors of the Dark Lord instantly became lackeys and rags, and even their lives and property no longer belonged to themselves.

Therefore, when Voldemort fell, these unlucky old guys immediately abandoned their master, choosing to betray their companions or rely on political speculation to gain freedom.

The vast majority of students still in Slytherin House today come from these families or have deep connections with them.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years.

So when Ivy challenged him, no one in the Slytherin common room dared to face him. Because the real tough guys are not in the prison, but in the grave.

The third type of Voldemort followers are complete fools. These people have no brains at all, and their purpose of joining the Death Eaters is quite simple - just following the trend. Because other pure-blood wizards around them say that the Dark Lord is good, they believe that the Dark Lord is really great, but as for how good or wonderful he is, they can't explain it in detail.

This includes Peter Pettigrew and Regulus Black.

When they joined the Death Eaters, they soon discovered that things were not going as they wished, but only a few of them could truly wake up. Most of them died under Voldemort's oppressive rule and became stepping stones and cannon fodder for his career.

Looking at the students shivering like little chickens in the common room, Ivy shook his head sadly.

Is this still the Slytherin I know?

Not to mention that there is not a single guy who can perform advanced black magic, even the title of the most trouble-making house has been completely snatched away by Gryffindor. Even if they shout "I want to follow you" in public, Ivy can give them a way out.

Now it seems... it is our responsibility to restore Slytherin's glory!
