Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 911: The Conflict

Chapter 911: The Conflict

The Dark Lord had returned, and this phenomenon was about to be changed.

During the summer vacation, Malfoy had seen Voldemort with his own eyes, which made him excited and ecstatic.

He could feel the strong power in the Dark Lord, and every move he made was accompanied by a chilling sense of dread and fear.

As long as under Voldemort’s leadership, pure-blood wizarding families could regain their former glory and restore their supremacy.

At that time, those Mudbloods and half-blood wizards would all be trampled under their feet.

Draco Malfoy had also wanted to be a Death Eater and loyal to the great Dark Lord, but his father didn’t seem to be positive about it.

Lucius repeatedly emphasized that he was still young to be involved in these things and he had just to study.

He knew what his parents meant, and they still treated him as a child and didn’t want him to face danger…

There would be a chance. Voldemort had personally said when they met last time that he would give him a chance to prove himself.

Malfoy’s body trembled slightly because of his excitement. Then, he quickly regained his composure.

What truly concerned him was his father’s warning. Up until then, his father had always looked down on Evan, but after going to the Ministry of Magic a few days ago, he had called Malfoy into his study and warned him not to provoke Evan.

When necessary, he could even show some goodwill and give some help.

This was incredible. He didn’t know what had happened to his father. He actually allowed him to maintain a good relationship with a Mudblood and provide help. This simply subverted his impression of his father…

But there must have been a reason for him to ask him to do that. In fact, regardless of these factors, Draco Malfoy did not dare to provoke Evan.

Evan had once saved his life from the terrifying soul-piercing spells and mysterious, unpredictable powers.

Since then, Malfoy thought he had kept a low profile at school, basically avoiding Evan.

Although in the past six months he had tried his best to vilify Evan, saying that he was a young wizard who had only mastered a few magic and didn’t know anything, Malfoy didn’t believe that. Only true fools could believe those words.

He believed more in his own eyes, and Malfoy was a person at Hogwarts with a clear understanding of strength.

Therefore, he did not give a clear answer when Gleeson proposed that all the prefects unite to boycott Evan.

He didn’t think it was a good idea, it was too reckless and stupid, and he didn’t think these people could make Evan regress.

Besides, what was the use of doing so?

Dumbledore was the one who had the final say at Hogwarts, and even if they joined forces to defeat Evan, it wouldn’t be of much use.

In this situation, when Evan, Ron, and Hermione walked into the prefects’ carriage, the atmosphere was quite weird.

Everyone was talking about Evan becoming the Head Boy. Seeing him come in, everyone was quiet again. The shining Head Boy badge on Evan’s chest seemed to be particularly dazzling.

“I think you’re the Head Boy this year,” Gleeson immediately got up from his seat, his eyes fixed on Evan, and his tone was quick and powerful. “My name is Manfred Gleeson, Slytherin’s seventh-year prefect. You may not know me, but it doesn’t matter, and I don’t really want to know you. We’ve just discussed it, and everyone thinks that you’ve used shameful means to become the Head Boy. Therefore, we hope you can voluntarily resign from this position.”

There was a silence!!!

After hearing the words, everyone held their breath.

The atmosphere in the carriage was very tense, and everyone’s eyes were focused on these two people.

No one thought that Gleeson would be so direct, and tell Evan to resign as the Head Boy.

Although they all felt weird after knowing the news just now, no one thought of asking Evan to resign.

Thinking about it carefully, the things Evan had done were enough to make him the Head Boy. He had this qualification.

What did it matter even if he was younger?

However, there was a premise that all the things that Evan had done were true, not all false experiences as said, just like Professor Lockhart back then…

“Resign? Do you all think so?” Evan asked, looking around.

He saw Anthony Goldstein, Padma Patil, Ernie Macmillan, Hannah Abbott, Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, etc., and there were many others he didn’t know, but just had vague impressions of.

There were a lot of students in the school, and it was difficult to recognize them all except those they usually contacted.

Not to mention, Evan’s social activities were almost zero; and he spent all his time studying magic or making potions.

But for one thing, looking at his gaze, everyone’s eyes quickly moved away.

Some people smiled and clearly supported Evan.

Manfred Gleeson was a little embarrassed, because he suddenly found no one to support him, not even the prefects of Slytherin House.

They were all watching Malfoy, but he didn’t move, as though he had been under the Full Body-Bind Curse.

Compared with the other three Houses, Slytherin House was more susceptible to secular power.

The status of an heir to an old and veteran wizarding family such as Malfoy was much higher in the school than that of ordinary students like Gleeson.

Even if Gleeson was a senior, it was no exception, especially considering that Voldemort had returned and the Malfoy family had been reused, these people all took Malfoy as their example, waiting for his decision.

“Fool!” Malfoy murmured, warning Gleeson not to act rashly.

Knowing that he would do this, Malfoy should have reminded Evan to beware of Manfred Gleeson. There were not many opportunities to do favors like this, and it was also a good opportunity to improve his relationship with Evan according to his father’s wishes.

Noticing that Evan was looking at him, Malfoy shook his head slightly.

“It seems that apart from you, no one else wants me to resign,” said Evan cheerfully, turning his gaze from Malfoy’s pale face to Gleeson’s. “And I have no plans to resign for the time being. If you’re not satisfied with my becoming Head Boy, you can always step down as a prefect.”

“What’s the point of you persisting like this?!” said Gleeson forcefully, turning his head to look at Malfoy. Even if there was no one here to support him, he had to make his position clear. He knew how many people in the House were against Evan. “The boys from Slytherin and I will not obey your orders. If I were you…”

“Enough, I don’t like people pointing fingers at me and telling me what to do, and I don’t like your attitude,” said Evan, turning aside to make way. “I’ll talk about this with the headmaster and the Head of your House. Now, as the Head Boy, I invite you to get out of here. Besides, you’re no longer a prefect!”
