A few minutes later, the riotous potion subsided.

The Gryffindor wizards, scattered everywhere, clutched their faces covered in boils and screamed in agony. Professor Snape's face was also grim, his eyes blazing with fury.

Harry inherited no redeeming qualities from his mother except for his eyes.

The current Potter is no different from that arrogant bully who always picked on his classmates.

"Potter, Weasley, because of your two stupid actions, Gryffindor loses 50 points!"

Snape gritted his teeth and deducted a large number of points from Harry and Ron Weasley.

Harry and Ron Weasley, wincing in pain, looked miserable but didn't even notice the pain.

It's only the third day of school, Gryffindor has already lost 50 points. When the upperclassmen find out, won't they tear him apart?

At the same time, Snape turned to look in Slytherin's direction and said calmly, "Lester protected his classmate, Slytherin gets 10 points."

These words caused an uproar in the classroom.

Needless to say, the Slytherin students would all sing praises of Lester.

But the young Gryffindor wizards were not happy; they had watched Lester throw the Boil Potion at them.

Now Snape is not only not punishing Lester, but he's even giving him extra points. Isn't that too biased?

The demolition genius Seamus was the first to object. He stood up, glared at Lester, and said angrily, "Professor, it was clearly Lester who threw the splashed Boil Potion at us just now. Why should he get points?"

Harry and Ron Weasley were at the center of the explosion and were busy hiding, so they were unaware of the true situation.

Now that they knew Lester was behind the second attack, they were all filled with righteous indignation, stood up angrily, and glared at Lester.

Despite spending most of his time with Ron Weasley, Harry, a prominent figure in Gryffindor, still held considerable prestige among the students.

After the Chosen One stood up, all the Gryffindor stood up, even Hermione, who was being protected, glared angrily at Lester.

She saw it all clearly, including the cold smile on Lester's lips.

Faced with the enraged Gryffindor, Lester shrugged and said helplessly, "Professor, my magic is limited, and I simply cannot control these rampaging potions for long, which is why I accidentally injured the Gryffindor students."

Finally, Lester added, "The Slytherin students all saw it; they can vouch for me."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a whole bunch of Slytherin snakes stepped forward, chattering and giving false testimony for Lester.

Slytherin values strength above all else. Lester is not only exceptionally talented but also willing to protect his fellow students. Furthermore, they have always disliked Gryffindor.

Therefore, at this moment, all the Slytherin united against Lester.

Professor Snape glanced at Lester the dog and said calmly, "Are you questioning my decision?"

"Now, the injured Gryffindor students are coming with me to the Hospital Wing, Slytherin students stay in the classroom to study."

With that, Snape flicked his sleeve and strode away, followed by a group of indignant Gryffindor cubs.

The young Slytherin wizards didn't hold back in booing, and their mockery was endless.

Goodbye, you Gryffindor fool!

"Gryffindor -ridden freaks, get out of the Potions Classroom right now!"

"Ron Weasley, you piece of trash, you're a disgrace to the Pure-blood families!"

As soon as Professor Snape stepped out of the classroom, the young Slytherin wizards launched into a frenzied taunting mode.

Lester watched with a smile.

Gryffindor is Dumbledore's private domain, and the young wizards there are more or less supporters of Dumbledore.

Therefore, I definitely cannot get along with them peacefully. Since peace is impossible, I must suppress them.

On the other side, Malfoy suppressed his urge to mock Harry and said in a condescending manner, "The Slytherin people have gone a bit too far."

Hermione nodded in deep agreement. Under Malfoy's protection, Hermione was the only Gryffindor student who was not injured.

"Are you called Malfoy? I've heard Ron Weasley and the others mention you," Hermione said, baring her small teeth. "They all say you're a bad person."

"But obviously, they're all wrong, aren't they? These arrogant boys just love to slander others based on their own limited opinions."

Malfoy wiped away non-existent cold sweat and said guiltily, "Ron Weasley? I know him. He doesn't have a good reputation around here."

"But he's still young now; he'll probably mature a bit as he grows up."

It has to be said that young girls nowadays like more mature boys, and Malfoy happens to be the best at pretending to be mature.

These remarks immediately made Hermione think more highly of him.

Soon, the bell rang, signaling the end of class. After the commotion, the Slytherin students were all in high spirits.

It won't be long before various versions of the Potions incident spread throughout Hogwarts.

Lester, surrounded by the crowd, swaggered back to the Slytherin Common Room.

Malfoy didn't rush off. He first gave Hermione a wry smile, then quickly followed after her.

Turning his head, a sly glint flashed in Malfoy's eyes.

Sure enough, the naive Hermione was successfully deceived by Malfoy's acting skills. In her mind, Malfoy became a good person who had to do bad things to please his companions.

They knew him well, but little did they know, that scoundrel Malfoy was anything but good.

After returning to the lounge and seeing Pansy off, Lester led the six Malfoy into his bedroom.

"I have a plan. At midnight, I'll start checking the dorm rooms from the far left, and then bring all the first-year male Slytherin students to the common room."

Lester pulled out a list of first-year Slytherin boys, pointed to the names, and said calmly, "After today, they must all join us."

There are 21 Slytherin in total; excluding Lester himself, there are 20 left.

The system previously indicated that 12 people had been convinced by the system, meaning there were still eight people who had not been convinced.

Because he didn't know who else hadn't been won over by him.

Therefore, he had to gather all the first-year Slytherin wizards together and, whether through brainwashing or empty promises, he had to win them over.

Lester even had some doubts about whether the remaining eight would include the arrogant Malfoy.

Lester glanced up at Malfoy and, seeing Malfoy still chuckling to himself, his suspicions vanished.
