Natural Magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 53 Little Snake’s Choice
At night, as soon as Bree came down from the turret, she saw the seventh-grade prefect outside the lounge, the same one who came to see Bree after causing a scene in the lounge.

"For the record, I'm the seventh-year prefect, Beck Bernard, and I thought we could talk."

Bernard was still as arrogant, or he had lowered his head, but Bree didn't feel it at all.

"I think if I remember correctly, we met before, just a week after school started."

Bree's words reminded Bernard of the embarrassment of when he vowed to win over Bree in front of the lower class but was rejected.

This greatly reduced his prestige at the time, and allowed the bitch in the sixth grade to succeed, that is, his fiancée helped a guy in the seventh grade who he couldn't deal with to become the new Slytherin seventh grade's voice, weakening He lost his potential and made it difficult for him to hold his head high in the family!
His uncle's family is closely watching the inheritance of his lineage!

The interests of the Bernard family came first and they allowed a certain degree of internal fighting within the family, which made him very angry.

"Humph, I think Mr. Ode is a smart man, and what I will give Mr. Ode will be something you have never seen before, which will be your boost."

"Hogwarts does not teach young wizards such things as powerful dark magic and how to make enough wealth from those half-blood and Muggle wizards. This is what the Bernard family is good at. I think you will be interested. .”

dark magic?
Sorry, Brie is not sensitive now. He has access to a lot of black magic. As for making money, maybe Brie will consider it later, but before that, he needs strong strength as support, otherwise why can he protect his wealth.

Bree is not a greedy money lover, and he doesn't need too much money now. Bernard's remarks cannot impress him, not to mention that this guy looks like Bree has taken advantage of him. It's disgusting. Perhaps Bree should agree first. , and then trick him again, this is a good idea.

"What are you doing?"

"Selwyn?"

Bernard frowned, his good deeds were interrupted, Selwyn came to Bree so quickly.

Bree looked at a rough-looking young man walking over. He was said to be a young man, but he had a burly figure. He looked like the bully youth Bree met in the orphanage. However, dealing with such people is usually very simple. I wonder if this person is equally stupid.

Perhaps he is the same arrogant person as this Bernard.

"Bernard, I think you are not qualified to participate in this matter." Selwyn snorted, the corners of his eyes tightened slightly, and there was a Sichuan pattern on his eyebrows. He stared at Bernard closely, sneered, and said harshly:

"What qualifications does an incompetent Bernard have to participate in this great cause? You should compete with your brother for the family property. This is Bernard's tradition."

"Get out!" Although Selwyn is shorter than Bernard, it does not make him appear weak at all, and Bernard does not dare to say anything more, because the Selwyn family are all crazy, even if they are crazy enough to Selwyn was left alone, and no one dared to underestimate him.

Bernard glared at Bree angrily when he left. He gave up his original plan, but he would not be able to increase his capital in this matter. You must know that it is not the acquisition of money that increases his wealth. The reduction of other people's assets is also a kind of profit, which can also make him more popular with his family.

Bernard said sternly in his heart: Bree Old, your red eyes are not welcomed by everyone!
Brie watched the fight between the two men indifferently. Even though they pointed the finger at him, it could not be said that Brie was at their mercy and dragged into the quagmire by them.

Bree, who was about to turn around and leave, was stopped by a pair of big hands.

Maybe Selwyn has the description of polite, at least that's how he treats Bree now.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, but I don't think I have any ill intentions. I just want to remind you that Slytherin's fight for you has begun. Those red eyes and your magical talent cannot be ignored by us. At the end of Christmas, Slytherin will It was a signal for Lin to start taking action. Some people gained support from their families, and some were ready to go it alone..."

"What do you mean?"

Bree stared at Selwyn's blue eyes, which contained a crazy energy, but he had been suppressing it. Maybe he was smart, but he was still very proud.

Arrogance and arrogance are the beginning of losing one's mind. Bree doesn't like dealing with such people very much. Who knows if they will turn into a bloody python at any time and choose people to eat.

Selwyn took back his politeness and said expressionlessly: "Show your talents and let Slytherin recognize them. Only in this way can you prove your relationship with that adult. The descendants of Slytherin cannot be bullied by others. , doing nothing.”

"Hehe, maybe you could demonstrate Parseltongue, which would get me to follow your lead immediately!"

Selwyn took a deep breath and calmed down.

"We have helped you hide the secret. I don't think any Slytherin snake will say anything... I look forward to everything in the future."

Selwyn looked hilarious after saying the gentleman's salute, which he didn't do very often, but he did anyway.

He thought to himself: I hope you are really a descendant of that adult...

Bree stared at Selwyn walking away.

"Madman, why should I listen to you?"

Bree thought he could get any benefit from these two people, but in the end it was just a threatening look and a mindless promise. Why would Bree need Selwyn to follow him? Those who have nothing to do only need to respect him, but don't need to be so close.

Slytherin started to take action because of his eyes?

Bree chuckled lightly. He was not blinded by the bait, but looked at their methods rationally, and got what he wanted without having to pay much. Maybe these people just wanted a promise.

But Brie will not make promises to others. Maybe a lie can erase it for others, but his promise is valuable. At least Brie sticks to his bottom line.

Don't make promises easily and don't break them easily.

But who was that person just now?
Bree's perception ability is very strong. When Bernard appeared, Bree felt that someone was looking at them. She didn't go away until Selwyn left her eyes.

……

What Bree didn't know when he returned to the dormitory was that Bernard didn't return to Slytherin immediately after leaving, but found a guy whom Bree knew—Arnold Flint, the former second-year male prefect, He was also the one who started the trouble and kicked Bree out of Slytherin.

"Mr. Arnold, please wait."

"Ah, Prefect Bernard?"

Arnold was too scared to move. It was actually Bernard who had personally stripped him of his prefect status and made the Slytherins afraid to approach him again. This made his life in the academy very difficult, and even Some mixed-bloods were also riding on his head to dominate.

But he had no choice. His cousin Masku Flint had given up on him, and he didn't dare to have any means of revenge.

"Sorry, I'm just a little surprised." Arnold's head was not full of splendens. He understood that the Slytherins were trying to please Bree recently. He also heard about Malfoy's treatment of Bree at the Malfoy family's Christmas banquet. Evaluation, this is a bellwether, causing many families to inquire about this child and understand his talent.

Therefore, some families let their children ease their relationship with Bree, but strangely, some big families are also approaching Bree, which is very intriguing.

It was obvious that the answer was already in front of him.

"I wonder how I can help you, Prefect Bernard?"

Arnold was fed up with being ostracized, fed up with not having rights, fed up with his family's new attitude toward him during the Christmas holidays, and he wanted to change it all!
Bernard chuckled softly.

"You know the current affairs very well, unlike that Bree Old!"

Seeing the way Arnold lowered his head obediently, Bernard understood that such a small snake is poisonous, can kill people, and is a good weapon.

"Spread the news and I will reinstate you as prefect after the incident is completed."

Arnold's eyes flickered and he immediately said: "Please tell me, I will definitely be able to complete it."

"Bree Old's eyes, you know, red eyes..." Looking at Arnold's confused look, Bernard remembered that this was just a branch of the Flint family and did not understand the secrets.

"This is the mark of the descendants of Slytherin. There is no second family in the European wizarding world!"

Slytherin!

Arnold's legs trembled, and he suddenly looked up at Bernard. He seemed to be unable to get away.

Putting the wand against Arnold's throat, Bernard said: "Now Slytherin has two voices. One is to win over Oded, and the other is to suppress Oded. As you know clearly, we have grudges with him."

The wand moved forward a little, and Bernard said sternly: "Do you understand how you will live after he has rights in Slytherin? Maybe he will not attack you, but everyone understands the rules of Slytherin. , there are quite a few little guys who follow the trend."

Arnold swallowed, the strange sensation at the tip of the wand making his throat sting.

Bernard put down his wand, leaned close to Arnold's ear, and whispered softly: "The only one you can choose is me, to secretly tell this matter to Dumbledore and everyone in the academy..."

Bernard paused.

"But not now. Those people haven't come in to place their bets yet. Now is not the time."

He tapped Arnold on the shoulder, waking him up.

"So what's your choice?"

Does Arnold have a choice?
"I, Arnold Flint, would never say anything about my conversation with Baker Bernard today, and I will complete this mission."

This is indeed an opportunity. In order to return to glory, Arnold is willing to take risks like this. He is just passing on a message. This is very simple. There is no danger if he is not discovered by others.

Bernard smiled with satisfaction. You should not do any small things yourself. This is a rule taught by the big family, because the slightest clue may put a person into an irreversible situation.

"Then please remember not to say what we are talking about, it will not do you any good and you should know what Bernard stands for."

"Of course, I understand, I just need Mr. Bernard to keep his promise as well."

As long as Arnold can become a prefect, he will not be able to tell this secret, otherwise those who failed to bet will tear him into pieces.

……

After the two left, a figure came out, it was the sixth grade female prefect Alyssa Shafiq.
