Slytherin common room.
This is a translucent lounge located at the bottom of the lake. The walls are made of black Gothic marble, and the ceiling is a transparent semicircle carved with crystal. You can see the sparkling waves above your head.
There are green lights tied to chains on the ceiling. There is a fireplace in the room with a beautifully carved mantel. There are some carved chairs next to it. You can see some giant octopuses or strange creatures through the windows.
"Let me introduce myself first. I am your male prefect, Oisin Brown."
A young boy with blond hair and a proud look on his face, who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, said to the group of first-year students in front of him, "And the five behind me are the other male prefects and female prefects!"
In Hogwarts, there is a system of prefects and male and female leaders.
Each house at Hogwarts selects a boy and a girl in the fifth year to serve as male and female prefects, and continue to hold this position in the sixth and seventh years. (Two from the fifth year, two from the sixth year, and two from the seventh year. After the seventh graders graduate, two will be selected from the fifth year, and so on).
Each house will have 6 prefects at the same time, for a total of 24 prefects in the school.
The prefect's task is very simple, that is, he is responsible for helping the house manage students throughout the house.
At the same time!
Above the prefects, there are Head Boy and Head Girl.
What are Head Boy and Head Girl?
To put it simply, it is similar to the president of the student union, who can manage the prefects and students of all houses, but the Head Boy and Head Girl are not necessarily selected from among the prefects, but also from ordinary students.
However, if the prefect is selected to become the Head Boy or Head Girl, he will no longer hold the position of prefect, and the house will select a new prefect.
All in all, in the entire Hogwarts, a house maintains three boys and three girls as six prefects every year, for a total of twenty-four prefects in the four houses, plus two leaders, one boy and one girl!
Listening to Oisin's words, the five boys and girls behind him also nodded lightly to the many first-year students in front of them.
After!
Oisin continued to speak seriously, "Now, let me tell you about the two main points of dormitory allocation and school rules!"
"First, from the common room to the left is the boys' dormitory, and to the right is the girls' dormitory. Men and women cannot live together, let alone go to each other's dormitories!"
"Freshmen are free to choose from all unoccupied dormitories and choose to move in with their best friends. However, a dormitory can accommodate up to four people, and the minimum is two!"
"Second, after eleven o'clock in the evening, it is the curfew time. After that time, you are not allowed to leave the lounge. Once you are caught by the patrolling janitor, your house points will be deducted, so you should pay attention!"
"Of course, there are other rules besides this, but I won't explain them one by one. The specific ones will be written on the bulletin board next to the door of the common room. If you want to see it, you can read it yourself. It doesn't matter if you don't want to watch it or not, it's not important anyway!"
"Also, classes will start at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. The specific class schedule has been posted on the bulletin board next to the common room door. You can check it out for yourself after you have selected your dormitory!"
After a pause, he glanced at the first-year students in front of him and then said, "Okay, I've said all the questions and rules that need to be said. Do you have any other questions? If not, just leave!"
The words fell!
With a faint smile on his face, William Li immediately walked out of the little wizards' team.
"Do you have any questions?" Oxin looked at William Li in front of him and asked with a frown.
"have!"
With a smile on his face, William Li asked, "I just want to ask, how are the prefects selected?"
"Of course, they are appointed by the headmaster or the deans of each house!" Oisin explained with a raised brow.
"Really? But I think this is inappropriate!" Li William said lightly.
"What's the meaning?"
Oisin narrowed his eyes.
William Li said calmly, "The outside world's evaluation of us Slytherins is basically that we are cunning, cunning, and unscrupulous. Of course, there are also good evaluations, such as being shrewd and smooth!"
"But no matter what the evaluation, it is undeniable that wizards who can enter Slytherin have one most essential characteristic, ambition!"
The first-year students couldn't help but nodded as they listened, obviously agreeing with this statement.
If you don't have ambition, then why enter Slytherin?
Wouldn't it be nice to go to Ravenclaw to study?
Wouldn't it be better to go to Hufflepuff and lie down?
Wouldn't it be nice to go to Gryffindor and have some fun?
In addition to the first-year students, the movement here also gradually attracted students from other grades around to watch.
"Looks like something interesting happened?"
"There's something good to watch today!"
"I didn't expect that there would be such an exciting scene this year!"
The surrounding students of other ages were talking, with a hint of excitement flashing in their eyes.
But William Li ignored them. He just glanced at the people around him and raised his voice again, saying, "Then the question is, since the people here are all ambitious people, do you think we should listen to a group of people selected by the school? Are you willing to come out, the ambition in your heart?"
Are you willing?
When the people present heard this, their eyes couldn't help but flicker.
No one spoke.
But their twinkling eyes said it all.
They definitely don't want to.
"What do you mean?" Osin asked sternly with a cold face.
He had already vaguely guessed Li William's idea.
"It's very simple!"
Li William looked at him with burning eyes and said, "I think, since we are Slytherin, then we should use the Slytherin way to decide the real prefect!"
"The Slytherin way!?"
The seventh-year prefect standing at the end of the prefects had not spoken all the time. When he heard this, he showed an interested expression on his face.
As a seventh-year prefect, he can be said to be the default leader among all the prefects in Slytherin.
Although there are male and female leaders in the academy, male and female leaders come from different houses. Generally speaking, the students of the house will not recognize them if they are not the students of the house.
Unfortunately, the current male and female leaders are not from Slytherin, so the students and prefects of Slytherin do not recognize the male and female leaders, and will only listen to the seventh-year prefects.
"That's right, the Slytherin way!"
After saying this, William Li narrowed his eyes and said, "Slytherins are all ambitious people, and if they want to realize their ambitions, the best way is undoubtedly strength. Only with sufficient strength can they realize their ambitions!"
"So! I think that only by defeating everyone with strength, only by defeating everyone enough and making everyone convinced, can we be qualified to manage our Slytherins and be our Slytherin prefects!"
After a pause, he glanced around and asked, "What do you think?"
The students around listened and fell into silence.
After a moment!
"I think what you said makes sense!"
I don't know who said this.
This sentence was like a fuse, and the other people present, the freshmen and the old students who heard the noise and came to watch, all echoed it.
"That's right!"
"Only those who can defeat everyone are qualified to lead the entire Slytherin!"
"Yes, if you can't defeat everyone, what qualifications do you have to manage us?"
"If you can't even beat me, what qualifications do you have to manage me?"
The people present echoed, and there was a faint flash of excitement in their eyes.
Of course!
The reason why they agreed so neatly was not because Li William bribed them.
It was because of ambition!
As mentioned before, those who can enter Slytherin have their own ambitions to a certain extent.
And those who have ambitions are yearning for power.
So they also yearn for the position of prefect.
Although the power of these two positions is not much and can only affect their own houses, they still have some power. The temptation of this power is fatal to ambitious Slytherins.
However, normally, the position of prefect is selected by the school. Even if the students are dissatisfied and want to grab it, there is no way and no chance!
And Li William stood up this time, which gave those students who wanted to be prefects but had no chance to see the opportunity.
As ambitious and intelligent Slytherins, most of them have guessed what Li William wants to do.
It's nothing more than wanting to seize power.
Want to get the position of prefect!
They want it too.
So, they echoed Li William.
Once Li William succeeds and gets the position of prefect, he doesn't even have to succeed. As long as he sets an example, they will have the opportunity to compete for the position of prefect with their own strength in the future.
Instead of letting the school and the house appoint them like now.
Even if they are stronger than the prefects, they can only watch!
In this regard!
"Hahaha!"
After listening to the people around him agreeing, the seventh-grade prefect looked at Li William seriously for three seconds, and suddenly laughed, saying, "Interesting, really interesting, I, Jin. Edward, have been in school for seven years, and this is the first time I have seen such an interesting thing!"
After a pause, Jin grinned and said, "Don't you just want to be a prefect? Okay, I'll give you this opportunity! While everyone is here now, as long as you defeat me, even if there is no school appointment, I will admit that you are the prefect!"
Hearing this!
Li William's mouth slightly raised, and a barely perceptible gleam flashed in his eyes.
He knew that his first step of the plan was successful!
