Chapter 326 Do you think I'll let you graduate?
Because Draco had a long-term positive influence on them, influencing them to make changes.
Furthermore, Draco was the first pureblood snake to bravely make a change.
Draco had secretly told them this after they passed the Sorting Hat test.
Draco told them that he was able to pass the Sorting Hat test not by cheating or using back channels, nor by publicly declaring the 'pure-blood supremacy' ideology false, nor by considering the complex interests of pure-blood families, but entirely by having a heart that had undergone a complete ideological transformation.
Of course, Draco made them sign a confidential magical contract, so this news could not be revealed to outsiders for the time being.
Those die-hard pureblood snakes, however, always believed that Draco and the Malfoy family made their compromise after weighing the pros and cons.
He was considering his own family and the entire corrupt pure-blooded power.
Therefore, they remained loyal to Draco from beginning to end, believing that Draco was different from those pureblood snakes who genuinely betrayed them.
In this way, the bizarre yet unified structure of Slytherin was formed.
At this moment, Draco led the way by looking at the die-hard pureblood snakes, intending to warn them, just as he had warned the other snakes, not to act rashly and not to stand up against Dudley.
But little did they expect that the stubborn pure-blooded snakes would misunderstand.
They thought that Draco's warning to the other snakes before staring at them was a way of making them take responsibility, argue with Dudley, and not let them bring shame to Slytherin in the future.
This really put the stubborn pureblood snakes in a dilemma.
Draco sat between the half-snakes and the pure-blood snakes who had undergone mind reformation, keeping a distance from the stubborn pure-blood snakes so they couldn't whisper to each other, nor did they have any magical means of long-distance telepathy.
Moreover, Draco had no intention of speaking, and it was impossible to rely on the pure-blooded snakes who had completed their mind reformation to relay the message.
Therefore, the stubborn pureblood snake could not hear Draco's specific instructions on the spot, and could only speculate and discuss solutions in secret.
After a brief exchange of whispers, the die-hard pure-blooded snakes decided that they couldn't let the other snakes look down on them, or give them a reason to ridicule them later. So they decided to take on this responsibility.
But they were also afraid of Dudley, so they had a stubborn pure-blood snake, who was already in seventh grade and about to graduate from Hogwarts and break free from Dumbledore and Dudley's control, stand up and speak.
They completely ignored the fact that Dali mentioned the phrase 'normal graduation' several times when announcing the new rules.
The main problem that the die-hard pure-blooded snakes were thinking about was that with the principal and all the professors present, Dudley couldn't very well disrespect the faculty and staff and cast a spell on them on the spot, could he?
So safety is still guaranteed.
"Has everyone finished discussing? If there are no objections, this new evaluation rule will officially take effect in the next school year!"
Before the chosen seventh-grade stubborn pureblood snake could even stand up and speak, Dudley activated the 'loud voice' spell, loudly suppressing the noisy discussions throughout the room.
The chattering auditorium immediately fell silent.
The Lion, Eagle, and Badger Houses had no objections. Although there were a few die-hards in the Lion and Eagle Houses, it was generally harmless.
The other students in Gryphon and Eagle are confident that they can bring all the stubborn elements in their respective houses onto the right path of thought in the next academic year.
Therefore, the students from these three colleges remained calm, none of them stood up to speak, and none of them expressed any different opinions.
In comparison, the stubborn pureblood snakes from Slytherin, who looked troubled, stood out.
Draco frowned upon seeing this and glared at them with even sharper eyes, trying to signal them not to do anything unusual.
But this glare made the stubborn pureblood snakes think that Draco was unhappy with their dawdling and was signaling them to act quickly.
So, the stubborn pureblood snakes stared at each other, then gave the chosen seventh-grade stubborn pureblood snake a push, making him stand up.
Now, all eyes were on this seventh-grade snake.
"Obuseli Avery, do you have a problem with the new rules?"
Dali glanced over casually and asked the stubborn, pure-blooded seventh-grade snake, who was already marked with his silk threads, in a flat tone.
The seventh-grade snake named Obselli was startled by Dudley's question, but since he was chosen, he must have something special about him.
"Dr. Deslie, we disagree with your first new rule! Moral assessment is just a means of screening students for your classes and should not be included in the evaluation of college awards!"
You...you said a long time ago that attending your class is entirely voluntary, and you won't force anyone.
But now you're forcibly extending the evaluation of your course's ideology, which was originally only for your course, to a university-wide competition like the college award. This is a blatant breach of your promise!
Obselli's voice trembled slightly, but he still managed to deliver a logical rebuttal.
Dudley looked at Obselli with interest for several moments, his expression showing no sign of panic, and then asked, "You? You disagree? Who are you referring to?"
"Of course..."
Just as Obseli was about to answer, another die-hard pureblood serpent sitting next to him secretly pinched him.
He immediately stopped talking and changed the subject: "Assistant Dursley, you didn't directly address my question."
"Responding to your questions?"
Dali's expression gradually turned cold, and his tone became stern. "Didn't I make myself clear enough before I started the course?"
Haven't the intentions of Headmaster Dumbledore and me in promoting Hogwarts' ideological education reform over the past year been obvious enough?
I want Hogwarts students to grow into white wizards who are free from racial discrimination, do not create conflict, have a sense of belonging to the school and house, and uphold the spirit of equality, unity and friendship!
I made this goal clear to everyone from the beginning, and I have been working hard for it for a year!
How long are you stubborn and corrupt Slytherins going to pretend to be ignorant? Are you going to pretend until you graduate from seventh grade, like this Obselli?
Is it because I haven't lost my temper in so long that you've forgotten the fear of being dominated by me?
Why do you think I made you volunteer in the first place? Wasn't it to give you a chance? A whole school year has passed, and you've failed to live up to your potential!
"Obuselli, do you think that just because you're graduating, you can escape my control and start finding fault and arguing with me? Do you think I'd let a stubborn person like you graduate?"
"what?!"
Obselli was so startled that he slumped into his chair.
The other stubborn pureblood snakes were also sweating profusely, completely terrified.
They never expected that Dudley would dare to make such threatening remarks so brazenly in front of Headmaster Dumbledore and all the professors.
What did Dali mean by that?
Not letting us graduate? Could it be... he's going to wipe us out?
