The Head Boy Sidelined
There is no love without a reason, nor is there hatred without a reason.
William admitted that he couldn't make everyone like him, and he couldn't even force everyone not to dislike him.
People will always have reasons for not liking you.
Malfoy disliked him, having been ripped off of 100,000 Galleon and various Goblin silver items... He hated him with a perfectly justified air.
The Goblin didn't like it either; millions of Galleon, no small sum... they expressed their disgust with great conviction.
William founded Akali Shop, which has encroached on the interests of many wizards. He is also planning to establish a monopoly and is currently waging a trade war.
There are even more people who dislike him.
If they don't like it, they don't like it. William didn't come to the Wizarding World to be liked by them.
For him, it's enough that the people he cares about like him.
But there's one good thing about adult wizards: whether you hate them or ignore them, at least you can maintain appearances and avoid a complete falling out.
So, perhaps because he had dealt with these wizards so much, William actually found it a little funny to be targeted so openly by a young wizard.
Macnair's reasons for targeting him were simple and straightforward.
Walton Macnair is dead!
On the night of the Quidditch final, he attacked William's tent, but before he could get close, he was killed by dozens of House-elf.
He was eventually labeled Death Eaters.
Bite, also from the Macnair family, wanted to use his position as student council president to trip up William.
But William considered this petty trick too low-level; the two were simply not on the same level.
He's busy saving the world all day, dealing with people like Tom, the embodiment of evil, or high-ranking officials from various countries' Ministry of Magic. A student council president... who do you think you are?
"Excuse me... what is your relationship with the Death Eaters Walton Macnair?"
William asked in a drawn-out voice, like Professor Snape, in a lazy tone.
"What do you mean?" Macnair stood up immediately, as if a snake had been stepped on.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to know... if we're related to each other..." William said with a smile.
"It's his uncle..." Judy Crouch immediately shrieked.
"Uncle... that explains it." William crossed his arms, leaned back in his chair, and said softly:
"There was a wizard who pointed at your uncle's corpse and said to me... 'This is what happens to Death Eaters! Even your own son will die!'"
Do you know how many Galleon that person ended up paying me back?
"What does this have to do with what happened today?" Macnair took a step back, his tone blustering but his voice betraying his fear.
"He was just a passerby, and he paid me 100,000 Galleon..." William narrowed his eyes. "Macnair, as the person involved, was not only Death Eaters, but also attacked my tent."
He's dead, and you think that's the end of it?
"We're not Death Eaters!" Macnair hurriedly clarified. "Even if you're powerful, would you dare lay a hand on us?"
"Just investigate. I think Minister Fudge would be very interested in your family."
William pursed his lips and said coldly.
"Who knows what you're hiding in your house? Maybe letters communicating with Death Eaters. The Auror want to investigate... they'll find something eventually."
The entire carriage was completely silent, especially the Slytherin student, Macnair, whose face was deathly pale and whose back was soaked with sweat.
In fact, even without William's prompting, Minister Fudge would have definitely taken action.
He wouldn't even spare the Malfoy family, let alone the much smaller Maiernier family?
The person is dead... surely Gringotts has some assets, right?
If we don't offer something, will this matter be resolved?
Minister Fudge is flawed in many ways, but when it comes to exploiting people... he's still alright.
So William was simply informing the student council president of something that was happening.
What kind of conflict is this between students? What kind of student council president is this?
William's direct, family-level attack was enough to terrify Macnair.
"Alright, we've gotten off topic... let's get back to this." William suddenly laughed, as if nothing had just happened.
"The school did not prohibit Akali's Mystery Shop from selling items."
He looked at Macnair: "If you really want to ban it, get off the train and go find your Dean Professor Snape."
If he agrees, I will stop selling immediately without hesitation.
"But I'm the president of the male student council," Macnair said, leaning on his chair with difficulty. "I'll ask him myself after I get off the train. Right now, I'm the one in charge..."
"Is that so?" William asked calmly. "I don't think so."
Cedric, as if on cue, immediately looked at Pamela, the president of Hufflepuff House.
"I object! The student council president can't decide everything!" Pamela stood up.
"I will report you to Professor Dumbledore for attempting to abuse your power."
"Since the two chairpersons have differing opinions, let's convene an expanded meeting of Prefect and vote by show of hands," Qiu suggested.
"Raise your hand if you support Macnair..."
Macnair raised his hand, but when he looked around, only one sixth-grade Slytherin student raised his hand.
Even the Slytherin Prefect had initially spoken to him suddenly changed their minds and did not raise their hands in support.
William shrugged and smiled. "The result is obvious, Mr. Chairman."
"Any other suggestions? Just say them all. Anyway... none of them will pass my approval."
Macnair stood frozen in place, his face deathly pale.
On his very first day here... his position as president of the male student council was already completely undermined!
Whether out of anger or a desire to write home, he quickly found an excuse and left the Prefect's carriage.
The Gryffindor Prefect cheered, as if they had won a great victory.
Qiu stood up, playing her public relations role, and said with a smile, "The Prefect's benefits remain unchanged, and today's sales will still enjoy a 40% discount... The chairman will enjoy a 50% discount."
The atmosphere instantly became lively again... Enough said, just one word: Buy!
The incident involving the Prefect's carriage was just a minor episode.
William is always amiable and rarely causes trouble for others. But if someone really wants to cause him trouble, he doesn't mind using a drastic, overwhelming force.
During the patrol, William and Cedric switched places, with William going on patrol with Cho.
Good bro!
As he was leaving, Cedric gave him a wink, hinting that he and Hermione would have a chance next year.
To paraphrase Cedric: "To be frank, I'd probably be student president next year. Changing your position... it'd be a piece of cake."
Ah, this...
William has a feeling that he'll have to be careless this year, or something might happen.
Otherwise, it would be a disservice to the clattering fg.
The girl patrolling with William was a Hufflepuff... she looked chubby and had red hair.
She chattered on and on, asking about the Quidditch World Cup and hinting that she was still single.
William can pursue this relentlessly.
No wonder Cedric was overjoyed when he heard that William was willing to switch positions.
He thought that even patrolling with Qiu wouldn't be that exciting... Turns out there was this part too.
William was trying to get rid of her when he looked up and saw Astoria.
She was handing out flyers in the hallway, clearly advertising Akali Blackhearted Shop.
That brat... she's still up to her old tricks!
She saw William, clutching a large handful of flyers, and turned to run away.
William walked over quickly, and she ran even faster.
However, his left foot tripped over his right, and he stumbled, falling heavily to the ground with a thud, his body sliding across the floor.
"..."
This is a staged accident, everyone saw it, and it has nothing to do with William!
