HP: I just wanted to drop out of school, but I saved the world

Just as Jian Yu was watching Harry and Snape verbally arguing with each other for countless times -

In the auditorium on the other side, the students were eating happily.

Just like every opening ceremony in the past, the place was filled with laughter, the sounds of knives and forks, and conversations.

Hogwarts is like a shelter, away from wind and rain. There are powerful professors and principals here, allowing students to temporarily forget the crisis in the outside world.

But this time, there was a slightly different meaning in the toasting.

Beneath the happy appearance, there was a bit of suppressed tension at each long table.

After the attack on St. Mungo's and the spate of Muggle attacks, everyone realized that the Death Eaters were slowly regaining their strength.

At the other three long tables, people kept turning their heads inadvertently and looking towards the Slytherin table.

There was some tension in everyone's eyes. As time went by, those emotions slowly accumulated and turned into panic.

"Jade Jane didn't come to school! She must have stayed at home, or been sent abroad by Headmaster Dumbledore!"

There was a sudden loud scream from somewhere in Gryffindor. It was Seamus Finnigan, who looked like he was having a panic attack:

"She didn't come to school. What does that mean? The school is not safe! I should have listened to my mom and not come to school!"

There was a commotion in the hall, and Ron, who was sitting opposite him, covered his mouth tightly:

"Bro, you'd better be more polite and stop judging others based on your own assumptions, okay?"

"Otherwise I'll have to occasionally exercise my prefectural privileges and send you to Snape for detention!"

Hermione and Ginny held their wands and glared at Seamus, as if they could knock his teeth out if he uttered another disrespectful word towards Jane.

"Harry didn't come to school either!" Seamus broke free of Ron's hand and broke into a cold sweat. "Neither he nor Jade Jane came! Can you still stay in school with peace of mind? I heard that Patil's parents planned to take them back, and Heloise was also going to drop out of school. Didn't you notice that there were a lot fewer people in the school?"

"Shut up!" Hermione stood up suddenly, "I tell you, they are not cowards like you, Jade and Harry came to school with us!"

"Then where are the two of them?" Seamus continued to ask, "You and Ron are both prefects. Did you see Jade in your compartment? She might have jumped out of the train and escaped! And Harry, I walked around the train and didn't see him!"

This made Hermione and Ron immediately anxious.

Although they could not reveal any information for confidentiality reasons, they were all worried that they would be captured by Death Eaters on the way.

But Ginny didn't care and she suddenly cast a bat curse on Seamus' nose!

This made his boogers turn into big black bats, which flew out of his nostrils and all over the auditorium!

Bats flew over the dining table, and as the power of the spell gradually weakened, they dived into the food on the long table, flapped their wings weakly a few times, and drowned in the pots of pumpkin porridge and bowls of thick soup, motionless.

The bat droppings or replicated boogers they produce add a lot of different seasonings to the food.

But Ginny didn't care about the complaints from the students who had eaten the extra meals. She cursed:

"They are much braver than you who keep watching other people's whereabouts like a rat!"

Her face turned redder than a tomato, and she pointed the tip of her wand directly at Seamus' nose, cursing viciously:

"While Yu was busy dealing with those dark wizards, I'm afraid you were still crying in your mother's arms, Finnigan!"

Professor McGonagall in the teacher's seat exclaimed, and she hurried down from her seat to save Seamus, who was surrounded by boogers and bats.

Along with her voices of “Ms. Weasley! Don’t curse your classmates!” and “Gryffindor will lose 20 points”——

It was as if a layer of window paper that everyone had been collectively covering was suddenly pierced. The hall became even noisier, and heated discussions broke out at every long table. Everyone was asking each other about the whereabouts of Jane Yu and Harry, and casting puzzled glances at the Slytherin table, and the empty seats of Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor Snape who had not appeared for a long time.

At the Slytherin table, there were some subtle changes in the seating order.

The seat at the head of the table was occupied by Goyle and Crabbe.

A haughty look appeared on the faces of the two men, and they deliberately made the knives and forks on the table clink as if they were some novel objects.

Obviously, after their father successfully gained a promotion and power in front of Voldemort, they couldn't wait to return to school to show off their power, intimidate their classmates, and give a good beating to those family members who were unwilling to make a choice.

Opposite them were Draco, who was pretending to be crazy with dull eyes, and Theodore, who had an expressionless face and no one knew what he was thinking. Pansy and Millicent sat to the right of them, with a little fear and infinite flattery on their faces. The six of them occupied one end of the table.

The usual seating arrangement based on age and friendship was quietly changed to be arranged according to bloodline and family background. Pure-blood and half-blood snakes sat in order, while at the other end of the long table were snakes from individual Muggle and Squib families.

There was a lot of dissatisfaction on their faces, but they dared not say anything. Their eyes were looking for Jian Yu's figure on the table.

Daphne and Blaise were also pushed from the head of the table to near the middle.

Crabbe and Goyle stretched their necks as if they were seeing so many delicious foods on the Slytherin table for the first time, and ordered people to bring all the delicacies on the table in front of them, so that the food piled in front of them was taller than them.

While the principal and dean are away——

The two of them forcibly distributed the food here, causing the food resources on this long table to be extremely unevenly distributed:

The small group sitting in the front had a sumptuous feast in front of them, with the quantity and quality of the food decreasing layer by layer according to the distribution of seats, while Mafalda and others sitting in the back had only some bland food in front of them.

"You, finish my summer homework for me!" Goyle ordered the little snakes arrogantly, "Write a Potions essay and I'll give you a steak! Otherwise, don't even think about eating!"

Bryce frowned and wanted to say something. He let out a light "tsk" but forced himself to swallow the accusation.

"You have no right to do this! You're not letting anyone eat!" Mafalda's face turned red. She looked at the empty plates in front of her, very angry.

This immediately attracted the attention of Crabbe and Goyle. They smiled subtly and threatened:

"Daughter of a Muggle and a Squib, you'd better worry about your head falling off one day rather than eating-"

"You'd better control your tendency to seek the limelight. When that master takes office, the first people to be eliminated will be mudbloods like you!"

Mafalda's face turned pale in an instant. She said nothing more and silently sat back at the end of the table.

The Slytherin table fell into deathly silence.

Some people showed a little envy on their faces, but more people were dissatisfied and panicked, even anxious and angry.

Crabbe looked at everyone's reactions with satisfaction, smiled again, rolled his eyes around, looked at Daphne who was staring at him with ill intent, and said:

"Greengrass, yes, you, the big Greengrass, pass me your black forest cake."

Daphne had a sour look on her face, her hands were frozen and she didn't move, she wanted to stab Crabbe's face with the fork.

Her sister Astoria also frowned and glared at Crabbe. The good-tempered girl just wanted to throw the cake on his head.

"And your steaks, yes, small Greengrass, we want the most tender tenderloin."

Goyle showed a disgusting and arrogant smile -

Perhaps what makes them feel ecstatic is not the collection of delicious food, but the joy of using power and dominating people unscrupulously.

Seeing that the two sisters didn't react, the two people who felt humiliated started to attack at the same time:

"If I were you, I would carefully consider my actions and identity and think carefully about how to treat us, Greengrass. I heard that your family's attitude towards that adult during the holidays was very intriguing."

"You will graduate in two years. You can't stay in Hogwarts any longer. You should think about yourself and your family. You should think about who the Greengrass family should be loyal to, so as to avoid losing your life in the prime of your youth."

There was barely any concealed menace in the words spoken by Crabbe and Goyle.

Once they gain power, the joy of controlling other people's lives has completely gone to their heads.

"Come here, Greengrass."

Pansy agreed, her eyes almost raised to the sky, and she took the initiative to put a piece of pudding on Crabbe and Goyle's plates, trying her best to please them.

She was delighted that she had finally won the battle that had lasted for several years:

"Come over to our side, and you will have food and drink, and if you behave well, I can give you a position in my service."

Daphne had never hoped so much for Jian Yu to appear!

She could feel the eyes of the entire table cast on her, like a raging fire burning in her:

On the left side were the silent expectations and prayers of those half-blood little snakes; on the right side were her former friends who became her enemies, the sugar-coated bullets and undisguised malice of the little snakes whose families had fully aligned themselves with the Dark Lord; and around her were the inquiring gazes of neutral families like her.

She knew what those looks meant:

As Jian Yu's only roommate and the person closest to her in the entire school——

My attitude means a lot of things: it is the choice made by the Greengrass family, it is the standard by which the neutral family judges Jian Yu's ability...

"Jade won't let this go," Daphne glared back icily, "and when she gets here, you'll be in trouble!"

"Really?" Pansy glanced at everyone at the long table and smiled slightly. "Don't you realize, Jade Jane, that the people you thought could protect you are too scared to show up at school. You are a smart person, you know what you should do, Greengrass."

The scene outside seemed to have only passed a few tens of seconds, but the thoughts and images in Daphne's mind seemed to have passed for centuries.
