Lester the Master Manipulator Takes the Stage

"Scarhead, enjoy your tight grip tomorrow. The professor will teach you a lesson."

Malfoy spoke in a sinister tone.

Harry looked distressed, the image of being tortured by Snape flashing through his mind.

Ron Weasley, unable to stand it any longer, yelled, "You bastard, what are you laughing at? Don't you need to be in solitary confinement tomorrow?"

"Yes, you foolish Weasley, don't forget, you're going too!" Malfoy said angrily.

If this pure-blooded scoundrel hadn't removed his chair, he wouldn't have become friends with him and been punished by Professor McGonagall.

The three of them engaged in another heated debate before going their separate ways.

Harry and Ron Weasley returned to the Gryffindor Common Room to call for backup.

Malfoy then led the Slytherin snakes to the abandoned classroom to decorate the venue.

At night, the stars twinkled in the sky, and a full moon hung high in the air.

Inside the castle, Filch, along with his Mrs Norris, was tirelessly searching for the young wizard who was out at night.

Mrs Norris is a Norwegian Forest Cat, skinny as a rake, with eyes as big as light bulbs. She helps her master search for the little wizard who wanders at night in the dimly lit castle.

"Tomorrow, two first-year students will be coming to my place for detention. In my opinion, the school should reinstate the previous disciplinary measures, instead of simply making them clean!"

Filch held the oil lamp in his withered fingers, muttering to himself as his eyes searched the corridor.

"That's strange, I feel like we've missed searching one classroom today," Filch said, looking puzzled.

He didn't come to his senses until he heard Mrs Norris's voice.

"A little wizard wandering the night!" Filch grinned maliciously on his wrinkled old face, and quickly followed after Mrs Norris.

Just after Filch left, cheers erupted from an abandoned classroom not far away.

By this time, the abandoned classroom had been transformed thanks to the efforts of Malfoy and all the Slytherin students.

Colorful magic lamps hung high in the air, illuminating the entire classroom.

Food and desserts were laid out on the tables for the students to enjoy freely.

Not far from the dining table, several Slytherin students rolled up their sleeves and sat together, drinking heavily.

The arrogant Malfoy single-handedly took on a hundred enemies, grabbing a Butterbeer and showing off, eliciting gasps of amazement.

Several male students took out their wands and started exchanging ideas right there in the classroom.

Lester stood beside them, correcting their mistakes from time to time.

Foodies are foodies no matter where they are. They gather around the table and stuff themselves with cakes and desserts.

After stuffing their cheeks full, they even gave each other some feedback, appearing quite professional.

As for the girls, they were dressed like noble ladies at a family banquet, elegantly and lavishly dressed, laughing and joking together.

Pansy would glance at Malfoy every now and then, her adoration evident in her eyes.

Unfortunately, Malfoy had no time to care about Pansy right now; he was already high on his drink, basking in the praise of the crowd.

"Draco, for the few blows you dealt to Potter today, I have to toast you!"

With that, Jiedi downed his Butterbeer in one gulp.

Malfoy was so drunk he didn't want to drink anymore.

But upon hearing about his victory over Potter, he immediately got carried away and downed another Butterbeer in one go.

"My turn, Draco. I won't say much, it's all in the drink!"

Malfoy got carried away too, he drank!

"Draco, even though you have a bad temper, you looked really cool when you beat Potter, I'll take it!"

Malfoy: "Drink!"

Lester witnessed the entire process of Malfoy being drugged, but simply shook his head and remained silent.

Kitty not only bought a lot of Butterbeer from the twins, but also a lot of hangover candy, so she wasn't worried about Malfoy getting drunk and acting crazy.

Everyone had a great time at the party, especially the Slytherin who were gathered around Lester discussing magic.

Whenever I asked Lester a question that I couldn't understand, Lester was always able to give me a quick answer.

Moreover, while answering the questions for these Slytherin, Lester's task was also being completed very quickly.

[Ding! The first-year Slytherin wizard has been won over (17/20)]

[Ding! The first-year Slytherin wizard has been won over (18/20)]

That's how students are; they'll trust whoever makes them happy and plays with them!

Seeing that the Slytherin at the banquet were having a blast, Lester knew it was time for him to step in and do his part.

Lester strode to the former podium in the classroom and looked at the students with a smile.

The moment Lester stepped onto the podium, everyone instinctively fell silent, except for the drunken Malfoy.

The Draco was completely high, standing on the table, tearing his gorgeous wizard robes to shreds, and dancing a bizarre wizard dance.

Lester waved his hand, and the hangover candy on the table flew automatically into Malfoy's mouth.

"What are you all looking at me for?!" Malfoy was initially bewildered, then blushed with embarrassment.

He hurriedly took the new wizard robe handed to him and put it on without even taking off his old one.

Lester suppressed the urge to smash Malfoy's head in and took a deep breath.

"Classmates, as I mentioned in the lounge before, we've formed our own organization."

Slytherin Magic Study Group

"People may scoff at this, thinking it's an organization I created to fight for power, or that it's just a student organization playing around."

Lester's expression was serious as he slowly said, "But I want to say that your ideas are both right and wrong."

"I didn't create this organization for free; it's definitely for the sake of vying for power. After all, none of us are Professor Dumbledore, living a life of ease and comfort."

This remark amused many Slytherin students.

They appreciated Lester's honesty and didn't find anything wrong with Lester statement.

After all, where in the world are there so many selfless and dedicated good people, especially Lester, a Slytherin?

"I'm fighting for rights, but not for my personal rights, but for the common good of our group!"

"Most of you come from Pure-blood families, so I believe you are no strangers to the family's predicament."

The smiles vanished from the faces of many pure-blooded young wizards as soon as the words were spoken.

Not every family is Malfoy family, able to escape the judgment of the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore.

The Death Eaters killed so many people back then, how could they just wash their hands of it and move on?

The 28 Pure-blood families can escape trial through their immense family influence, and even now their offspring can openly appear in Hogwarts.

However, those middle-class or small families suffered utter annihilation during the trial.

Even now, many of these Pure-blood wizard possess noble bloodlines but lack the corresponding social status.

Although they appear incredibly proud, they are all extremely vulnerable inside.

Public opinion and the Ministry of Magic's punishment left their family heavily in debt.

Their family business went bankrupt, and the Wizarding World would not accept their fathers.

Even among the 28 pure-blood families, they preferred to hire cheap Muggle-born rather than hire them, who were also pure-bloods.

Therefore, apart from a few top families like the Malfoy, the other Slytherin wizarding families did not fare well.
