Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts
#239 - Sense of honor? (Seeking monthly ticket recommendation)
"Indeed, next year I will nominate you as Slytherin prefect. ReadingМ" Snape nodded, then gazed at him with deep eyes, as if trying to discern something from Anduin.
Anduin was a little puzzled, not because he was being nominated as a prefect, but because Snape was telling him this now.
You know, prefects are usually appointed after the final exams, nominated by the heads of each house, and then submitted to the headmaster for review. Of course, the headmaster generally doesn't interfere with the internal affairs of each house, so it's basically just a formality.
After the headmaster signs his approval, letters with appointment documents are sent out uniformly from the school. Students usually only find out they've been appointed as prefects during the summer vacation.
But now there are still more than two months before the end of the term, is it necessary to notify him so early?
Moreover, prefects are responsible for helping the head of house manage the house, and they also have to patrol at night to ensure that no students violate curfew and deduct points from those who violate the rules.
But Anduin is always elusive, and most of the time he can't even be found. He hasn't even managed to recognize all the students in Slytherin, so is it necessary to appoint someone as inconspicuous as him as prefect?
The key is that Anduin himself is somewhat resistant, being a prefect would waste a lot of his research time.
"Are you sure about the prefects so early? And I'm usually very busy, so I may not have much time to manage the affairs of the house," Anduin euphemistically expressed his resistance to Snape.
"I know," Snape glanced at him indifferently, "I've heard of your title as the Ghost of Slytherin. If I hadn't seen Vivian today, I wouldn't even be able to find you."
"Then why are you still nominating me as prefect?" Anduin tilted his head, wondering what Snape meant.
"What do you think of the current Slytherin house?" Snape didn't answer Anduin directly, but instead posed a question.
"The current house is peaceful and harmonious, everyone is doing what they like, except for occasional minor frictions with Gryffindor, it's pretty good," Anduin actually didn't care much about the affairs of the house. He usually returned to his dormitory after curfew every day, and it was normal for him not to see a student from his house all day.
"This month alone, Slytherin has been deducted 200 points for fighting with Gryffindor. You call that minor friction? You don't even know the Slytherin house points, do you?" Snape snorted coldly, obviously very dissatisfied with the current situation of the house.
Uh, Anduin really hadn't paid much attention to the house points. He only knew that he hadn't lost any points for the house. Of course, even if someone wanted to deduct points from him, they would have to be able to find him.
But now Anduin understood what Snape meant. It seemed that he wanted Anduin to help Slytherin change the current situation.
"In that case, why don't you just manage them directly? Whether it's giving them orders or urging the current prefects to restrain the students, you are the head of house, aren't you?" Anduin looked at Snape strangely. Managing the house with his authority as head of house should be a piece of cake.
"You think I don't want to?" Snape glared at Anduin unhappily, "I have a lot of things to do, and I can't spare the time to directly manage the house right now.
And do you think these little snakes will change just by talking to them? Slytherin has been too lax for too long. The group led by Yaxley before set a bad example for them, causing them to only care about themselves now, completely disregarding the honor of the house."
Snape was also quite helpless about this. Dumbledore simply used him as free labor, constantly worrying about the courses in the school, and also paying attention to the movements of those Death Eaters outside the school. Although the situation was very tight now, he couldn't completely let go. It would take at least one to two years to completely clean up the Death Eaters.
And last year, in order to cooperate with Dumbledore's plan, they allowed Yaxley and those pure-blood factions to mess around in the house, originally thinking of using him as bait to lure out some Death Eaters, but Anduin intercepted him.
Although Yaxley had already been arrested.
But the negative impact that these pure-blood factions had previously caused on Slytherin had not been completely eliminated. The most obvious thing was the division within the house, the distrust between half-blood wizards and pure-blood wizards, which led to them each minding their own business.
Some pure-blood wizards were deducted points and given detention, and some half-blood wizards even cheered secretly and mocked them. It was already good enough that they didn't fight.
Anduin was also responsible for this. This state of division was instigated by him in secret. He taught Velen and Vivian to say bad things about each other on the half-blood wizard side, and he let Rosier come up with bad ideas to bully people on the pure-blood wizard side, but neither of them knew about it.
And Anduin watched silently from behind, waiting for the situation to ferment, until Yaxley and others expanded to the extreme.
If Anduin hadn't been secretly playing tricks, Yaxley and others wouldn't have dared to go too far.
He was actually well aware of this.
"So you want me to do it for you, to rectify Slytherin house?" Anduin looked at Snape, whose face was unsightly, with some guilt.
"Just one to two years, and when I free up my hands, I will personally discipline them, and I only have one request, and that is to at least win back a House Cup for me."
Snape still had deep feelings for the house. He couldn't tolerate Slytherin only being able to watch others lift the trophy every year. When he was in school, he could win every year or two, but since he returned to Hogwarts, it had been third place every year, simply going down together with Gryffindor.
"If I help you, does that count as me fulfilling the bet I lost to you?" Anduin thought for a moment, then confirmed to Snape.
"You can count it if you want, as a member of Slytherin, don't you have any sense of honor and responsibility?" Snape looked at him with some dissatisfaction, even raising his voice a lot.
Sense of honor? Sense of responsibility?
Anduin heard these words again, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. His former honor was to defend his country, and his duty was to obey orders, but now this country didn't mean anything to him, and he wasn't willing to shed blood for it, and the person who could give him orders was long gone.
Speaking of which, where is the commander now? Is he still in this world? Without the commander, Anduin even fell into confusion at one point.
So in the beginning, he didn't have much motivation to do anything in this world.
