Chapter 532 Les: It's Time to Create a New Slytherin House
After the news spread, letters flew to Hogwarts. All the letters were asking about the new graduate education at Hogwarts.
Everyone wanted to know the admission conditions and whether their children could study for a master's degree or a doctorate at Hogwarts.
Obviously, most parents would be disappointed.
In the design of Rice and the other four, graduate education was not for most students at all. Only a small number of students could study at Hogwarts, and this proportion would not exceed 10% of the total number of students in a grade.
But this is still a major benefit, a major reform that has not been seen in a thousand years.
This legendary wizard from a thousand years ago injected new vitality into this ancient school after taking office as the headmaster of Hogwarts.
While the magic world was rejoicing over the new initiative of the headmaster of Gryffindor, the Muggle government of the United Kingdom conveyed an extremely shocking news: the Greek gods would send a delegation to visit the United Kingdom and sign a peace agreement with them.
Once this agreement is completed, the peace between the two sides will be substantially realized, and the rules will be written in black and white.
[Yes, we will bring peace for a generation]
The Muggle Prime Minister's letter reads like this.
"They don't really think that the contract maintains peace, do they?" Godric casually threw the Prime Minister's handwritten letter on the table and asked Helga and Rowena next to him.
"Maybe they really think so. I feel that their leaders have a kind of naivety and immaturity that is not in line with their age." Rowena complained about the Muggle government.
"That's it. The four of us must go there, and the Ministry of Magic must also send people." Godric rubbed his brows and felt a little tired.
The Olympian gods attached great importance to this visit. Not only did the king of gods Zeus come, he also brought the queen of heaven Hera, the messenger of the gods Hermes, the moon god Selene, the sun god Apollo and the sea god Poseidon.
Except Athena, most of the important characters among the gods are in this delegation.
This made the British side dare not neglect it and organized a more luxurious contact group.
The four domain masters headed by Godric are naturally included. The Muggles sent out the Prime Minister, the Cabinet Secretary, and a team from the Foreign Office. The Ministry of Magic was led by Bones and Henry, and there were also some accompanying Ministry of Magic staff.
The entire contact group had more than 100 people, far more than the delegation of the gods, and they also booked several high-end restaurants and luxury hotels.
In the past, such extravagant behavior would definitely attract media criticism, but now no one has any objections to it.
Zeus used his absolute strength to crush the world and proved his strength, and also won respect. Everyone felt that the occasion for receiving Zeus could not be too grand.
The two sides met at Buckingham Palace.
When the etiquette staff opened the door of the conference room, Les and the other four walked in first, and then Zeus followed them into the room. After all five people were seated, the rest of the Olympian gods entered one after another.
The status was clear at a glance.
After witnessing such a scene, reporters from various countries who came to hear the news were all excited: The British did not lie, their four magicians could really compete with the gods!
This is of extraordinary significance, indicating that humans are not powerless in front of the gods.
After the gods, there are the Minister of Magic and the Muggle Prime Minister, the Cabinet Secretary and the Director of the Ministry of Magic. Those Ministry of Magic and government employees are also qualified to enter the conference room, but they can only sit on the chairs by the wall of the room, not at the long table.
When the employees of the Ministry of Magic entered the conference room one after another, Les suddenly turned his head, and Godric, Helga and Rowena beside him also turned their heads at the same time.
The eyes of the four people fell on a short middle-aged woman wearing a light pink dress.
Zeus noticed the unusual movements of the four founders, and he couldn't help but turn his head to see who the four people were paying attention to at the same time.
Now, the Greek gods also cast their eyes on Umbridge who had just walked in.
Being stared at by so many big men, Umbridge suddenly felt a lot of pressure. Her already short stature became even shorter. Sweat dripped down her forehead and her breathing became heavy.
Godric noticed the murderous intent flashing in his old friend's eyes. He was immediately shocked and knew that Salazar was still angry.
So he quietly poked Salazar, saying that the crimes committed in the parallel world could not be blamed on the people in the current world. In this world line, Umbridge was innocent.
Rice took a deep breath and knew that Godric was right, but it was hard for him to swallow this breath!
Zeus was almost filled with curiosity in his heart. He wanted to know what the guy had done to offend the four guys opposite him like this?
Hmm? Could it be something that happened in the parallel world? Zeus felt that he had guessed the answer.
Under great psychological pressure, Umbridge barely supported herself and walked to her seat and sat down. When her butt touched the seat, she felt her legs shaking uncontrollably, and the clothes on her back were completely soaked with sweat.
But why was this happening? These bigwigs present may not even have heard of her name, so why did they pay so much attention to her?
Umbridge racked her brains but couldn't figure out that the root of the problem was Zeus and his wishing stone.
After a short interlude, it was time for the more serious contract signing.
The diplomats from both sides finally had a chance to use their skills and had an in-depth discussion on all the details. They were undoubtedly very successful, because the leaders of both sides were exhausted by their chat.
Godric stared at the goblet in front of him, as if thinking about something, but Les, who was sitting next to him, knew very well that the soul of his old friend had already floated back to Hogwarts. The same was true for Zeus on the opposite side, who felt that he was being tortured sitting there.
However, Rowena and Les listened with great interest, and there were also guys who were enthusiastic about this among the gods on the opposite side.
As the sun rose and set, the diplomats finally discussed all the details of the contract. This contract listed the rights and obligations of both Britain and Greece in great detail.
Both the British wizards and the Greek gods felt that they seemed to have suffered a lot, so this was actually an equal peace treaty.
"Let's toast! For peace, for today's peace treaty!" After signing his name on the contract, Godric stood up and filled the goblet in front of him with whiskey.
Both sides were in a happy atmosphere.
Those who don't know would think these are two brother countries!
Although the scene is very harmonious, anyone with a clear mind knows what the basis of this contract is. Many people cast their eyes on the four figures, tall or short, old or young.
Wherever the domain covers, there is peace!
Before the meeting, Rice found the Minister of Magic Bones.
"Minister Bones, I have a small suggestion. Of course, it's just my personal idea." Rice's voice was calm and soothing, as if he was chatting about family gossip.
"Please go." Bones dared not neglect the request of the young wizard in front of him.
Even though the other party was just a fifth-year repeater at Hogwarts on the surface, he had previously formed a domain with three other big guys to conquer Olympus.
Perhaps the young wizards at Hogwarts could not yet understand the strength of their classmate, and did not realize the gap in status between them, which was like a natural moat, but Bones, as an adult wizard, was very clear in his mind.
Let alone his suggestion, even if he farted, Bones would have to smell it carefully and think carefully about the hidden meaning.
"Azkaban needs a permanent liaison officer in case of emergency." Rice made a pertinent suggestion, because in theory Azkaban is indeed at risk of being attacked!
Who knows if those evil spirits will be interested in Dementors?
"What do you mean..." Bones had a vague guess in his mind, but it still needs some verification.
"I think Dolores Umbridge is very suitable."
As soon as this was said, everyone present turned their eyes to Umbridge again, and secretly pondered in their hearts: How did this old toad offend others? Being stationed in Azkaban, you don't need to listen to know that it is a drudgery like a pit.
Rice didn't care what others thought in their hearts. He walked quickly to Umbridge and handed her a bracelet.
"Please wear this bracelet. For your safety, I have cast a simple spell on it. As long as the bracelet leaves Azkaban, I will receive a reminder and come to Azkaban to support you. Don't worry, you are not fighting alone."
Umbridge showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
She didn't understand. Do the sentences before and after really form a logical relationship? The function of this bracelet is obviously to tie herself in Azkaban. Does it have anything to do with support?
What is the difference between this and sentencing herself to life imprisonment in Azkaban?
But she didn't dare to refuse, and she didn't even dare to show her dissatisfaction.
Watching Umbridge put the bracelet on her wrist, Les showed a satisfied expression.
Now he understood.
"You are too..." On the way back, Godric complained about his friend.
"I just put the right person in the right place. Umbridge should go to Azkaban." Les's attitude was extremely firm.
"Okay, whatever you want." Godric didn't care about Umbridge's fate, because he actually hated this person.
After the contract with the gods was signed, the time for Hogwarts to start school was approaching.
As usual, Les packed his not-so-much luggage into a suitcase, and then accompanied by Rupert to King's Cross Station, walked through the wall and entered Platform 9.
Everything was the same as usual, except that this year he had a badge on his robe that symbolized the male student union president.
The bottom of the badge was the Hogwarts badge, but the top letter was replaced with "HB", symbolizing the male student union president (Head Boy), and the female student union president was "HG".
As soon as he stepped onto the platform, Les heard the voices of Daphne and Astoria.
The two girls trotted all the way to Les, and the prefect badge next to the brooch on his chest was shining in the sun.
"Lies, long time no see!"
"Good morning, Les! Congratulations on becoming the male student union president!"
Listening to Daphne's congratulations, Les showed a face that was hard to tell whether he was crying or laughing.
Astoria was keenly aware of Les's mood changes, and she immediately realized that Les didn't seem to like his current position very much.
That's normal, it's not in line with Les' usual low-key style.
But he had done such a big thing before, it seemed difficult to keep a low profile, everyone knew that there was a hidden boss in Slytherin College.
However, he and his sister had a lot of trouble last year, so it should have helped him share a lot of his attention.
While Astoria was thinking, Rice had adjusted his mentality.
He has already thought about how to carry out his work as a "student leader".
To put it simply, it means decentralizing power and letting prefects take responsibility.
"Good morning. I haven't seen you look better for a long time. You have also made a qualitative breakthrough in your field. Congratulations." Les's congratulations came from the bottom of his heart. Because only by entering the field can your strength be qualitatively improved.
He was quite pleased with the Greengrass sisters' breakthrough.
Listening to Les's words, Daphne and Astoria both showed happy expressions.
"Since I was promoted to the student union president by the school this year, many things have to be put on the agenda." After congratulations, Rice also got to the point, "It's time to create a new Slytherin House."
"Drive out every last drop of Voldemort's poison! This is the goal in the next few years."
After all three old friends were revived, the Secret Order was destroyed, and the peace contract was signed with the Greek gods, Hogwarts' external troubles have been relieved. Now it is time to take action to solve the internal troubles.
Rice is worried that if it is not resolved, there will be no chance to heal the rift between the four major colleges.
Looking at Daphne and Astoria who had no reaction to his words, Les decided to educate the two little witches with a Muggle fable he saw.
"Look, this is a fork." Les took out a few forks from the leather bag he carried.
Then he bent the fork easily.
"A fork is easy to bend, but what if I do this?" Les stacked four forks together. "Four forks together-"
Daphne took the forks from Les's hands, and then broke all four stacked forks with a little force.
Les was silent, and Astoria who was standing aside was also silent.
Les couldn't help but start thinking, is there something wrong with the goals he set this year?
Daphne's actions seemed to be wise and foolish.
In the face of absolute strength, what is the meaning of unity?
If Hogwarts doesn't have a single strong person in the field, and someone like Zeus comes knocking on the door, what's the point of uniting the school's teachers and students? Wouldn't it be folded together like four forks?
But Rice quickly shook off this emotion, because he felt that the act of uniting the four houses was necessary.
