Fight

Many Slytherin students still held a grudge over being carried out of the last gathering and dumped in the corridor. They immediately went to Snape to complain, only for the other side to receive no punishment whatsoever. Instead, they themselves were given detention by Snape the next day.

This left quite a few Slytherin students seething with rage.

Naturally, many Slytherin students wanted to cause Albert trouble, but they soon realized they could not beat him, whether with magic or fists. On top of that, he was smarter than they were and far better at schemes and tricks. Once they calmed down a little, no one wanted to seek Albert out anymore. Wasn't that just asking for misery?

Thus, fewer people wanted to trouble Albert. Most Slytherin students chose to shift their targets, since Albert had not been the one to knock them out and throw them into the corridor in the first place.

With the Quidditch match between the Gryffindor team and the Slytherin team for the championship trophy fast approaching, they had a fine excuse to vent their anger. The relationship between the two sides worsened further, becoming like a powder keg that would explode at the slightest touch.

From that day onward, minor scuffles frequently broke out in the corridors. Such incidents became more and more common, and the resentment and hostility on both sides grew ever stronger, eventually escalating into vicious incidents. The tension between the two houses had reached the point where it could erupt at any moment.

The powder keg finally exploded. No one knew what started it, but in any case, another minor scuffle had escalated into a vicious incident.

Three Gryffindor students, two Slytherin students, and one innocent Hufflepuff girl all needed to remain in the Hospital Wing for an extended stay.
