HP: Wizards at Hogwarts

Chapter 75 Malfoy: Slytherin's Heroes, Only You and Me!

After Harry, more and more young wizards stood up.

"Professor, I can testify too! What Elaine said is true!"

"That's right, that's right, I saw it with my own eyes! It was the Slytherins who attacked first!"

"I heard them swearing at Elivin, using that word."

Some of them came from Gryffindor, some from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, and finally even the Slytherin students stood up.

"I can testify too!"

Unsurprisingly, Draco Malfoy was the first to stand up!

He showed no shame for betraying his fellow students; on the contrary, he appeared completely at ease.

Slytherin House has always had two major principles: "bloodline supremacy" and "strength supremacy".

Draco, having received Lucius's education from a young age, was very clear about the difference and importance between the two.

Lineage is appearance, strength is substance.

If a family is powerful but doesn't value bloodline, they will have a hard time, just like the Weasleys and the Longbottoms.

Conversely, if a family has bloodlines but no real power, it is easy for it to become a vassal of other families or even die out, like the Crabbe family and the Goyle family.

Only by paying attention to both lineage and strength, and taking care of both appearance and substance, can a family survive for a long time!

For the Malfoy family today, and even for many pure-blood families in the wizarding world, face is something they are born with.

It can be said that they have already succeeded halfway, and are far ahead of those Muggle-born or half-blood wizards.

The problem is that the strength of pure-blood wizards has been declining with each generation over the past few centuries, which means that pure-blood families are on the decline and this trend is inevitable!

Draco didn't want to see the Malfoy family decline in this generation or the next.

He wanted to restore the Malfoy family's former glory, to ensure that his family would continue to thrive for centuries to come, and to ensure that his descendants would remain nobles and elites among wizards!

To achieve this goal, he needs to gain power.

After observing for this period of time, Draco was very convinced that the person who could best help him improve his personal strength in this era, and the person who was most likely to enhance the Malfoy family's strength in the future, was undoubtedly Elaine!

Therefore, he needs to take action.

He wanted to choose the leader he considered the best, just like his ancestors had done.

When that person reaches the top of the magical world, I will be that person's right-hand man and trusted confidant. The Malfoy family behind me will also be the strongest and most powerful wizarding family under that person's command!

Draco Malfoy's statement surprised all the wizards in the dining hall.

The Slytherin students all stared at him wide-eyed, as if to say: You little brat, you betrayed your family?!

Draco ignored their questions.

What a bunch of fools who still can't see the situation clearly!

Putting aside the strength and potential revealed by Elaine's "instant freezing" technique, just looking at the current situation and the professors' attitudes, it's clear that Hogwarts' final decision will definitely favor Elaine.

Those unfortunate souls frozen into ice sculptures will face the most severe punishment for multiple reasons, including "stirring up trouble at school, threatening the personal safety of junior wizards, using vicious language to insult students, and engaging in unsportsmanlike conduct by launching sneak attacks and ganging up on them."

If they don't hurry up and clear their name now, are they just waiting to be implicated?

Just as Malfoy was basking in his own self-satisfaction with his foresight and wisdom—

With a clatter, another Slytherin wizard stood up.

"Professor, I can also testify for Elaine!"

Ouch?!

We Slytherin, our pure-blood family, actually have someone with the same vision as me?

Which hero is it?

Malfoy was slightly taken aback and looked in the direction of the sound.

All the teachers and students in the room turned to look.

The one who stood up and spoke was a first-year witch—Daphne Glengrass!

Elaine had a vague recollection of this little witch named Daphne.

She was often seen with Pansy Parkinson, who was with Malfoy; the two seemed to be roommates, and she was also a member of the study group.

But what truly made Elaine remember her wasn't her identity as a "study club member" or the label of "Pansy's roommate," but rather her family background: the Greengrass family!

The Greengrass family is one of the Twenty-Eight Holy Families, and one of the higher-ranking ones.

In terms of family strength, they are about the same as the Malfoy family.

Therefore, this little witch named Daphne was considered to be among the more prestigious members of Slytherin House, which values ​​bloodlines.

Over the past two weeks, Daphne has left Elaine with an impression similar to that of a rich heiress in an idol drama: noble birth, outstanding talent, a bit proud, but still retaining a touch of kindness at the core of her personality.

Simply put, she's a female version of Draco Malfoy!

Elaine had guessed that Malfoy would stand up for him, but he hadn't expected that this little girl from the Glengrass family would have such courage.

It seems my spell-teaching lessons over this period of time haven't been in vain!

The young wizards from Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw stared blankly at the two at the Slytherin table, their faces filled with astonishment.

Those arrogant Slytherins have actually changed their ways today?!

The professors exchanged glances, their eyes filled with surprise.

Elaine's move to form a club seems to have really helped in uniting the four major academies!

In just a few days, some young Slytherin wizards have already taken the side of "justice." If this continued for a year, what would Hogwarts be like?!

It seems Hogwarts will have to provide him with more support in the future!

But let's deal with the immediate problem first!

Professor McGonagall looked at Snape again: "Severus, even the young wizards in your own house have testified that Elaine is telling the truth. Now you should believe me, shouldn't you?"

Snape remained expressionless.

"Even if the Slytherin students were at fault, the school should handle it, not the students punishing them on their own, let alone freezing them into ice sculptures."

"I could lock up all the people who caused trouble at the study club today, but right now, I think we should release them and let them eat first."

He paused, then continued, "No one knows whether they'll remain intact after being frozen into ice sculptures—"

That's right!

Professor McGonagall finally came to her senses.

Although those little snakes are annoying, if something were to happen to them, Hogwarts would have a hard time explaining itself to the pure-blood families, and in that case, Elaine would truly be locked in a life-or-death struggle with those families.

"Eleven, release him first."

"Don't worry, the school will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter!"
