All the heavens began with Huo Yi

Chapter 8 Family or Clique?

After the morning classes ended, many students began to eat in the cafeteria.

"I see. I thought she had stopped doing stupid things. I'm so sorry, I didn't expect this was because of me. Fortunately, you are quite capable, Anna."

Sue never imagined that the reason for deducting those fifty points would ultimately be himself—jealousy? The biggest joke of the year: is magic no longer interesting, or is Quidditch no longer fun...? Well, Quidditch is indeed no longer fun.

The best thing Principal Black did this year was banning Quidditch; now we'll never hear those thumping sounds while reading in the library again.

This is utterly wasteful of time and energy! Quidditch is ruining the lives of those born in the 1980s! Even though they're 19th-century kids.

“No need. We’ve been so close, we’ll have to face this sooner or later. I just didn’t expect Adele to be so direct. I’m just giving you a piece of my mind, since they went too far in the past,” Angelina said. She now thought Adele was a sycophantic person who admired strength.

"It's okay, I don't care, and besides, I wasn't hurt at the time."

“But what those pure-blooded nobles did was really too much. Isolation is also a form of harm.” Angelina looked at Suer, feeling that passive-aggressive behavior was far more terrifying than physical violence.

“Wrong! It was me who isolated them first, not the other way around. Have you ever seen a pack of hyenas isolate a dragon? Besides, I also have Sebastian and other friends from the other houses,” Sue replied with a grin.

“Anna, what do you think of the magical world as a place?” Sue asked.

"It's not bad. Although there are some not-so-good things, I really like the magical world. Everything is new and exciting."

“Yes, but the novelty will wear off sooner or later.” Sue put down the chicken leg in her hand. “The magic world is no different from the outside world; it’s still essentially a dog-eat-dog world.”

However, unlike the world of ordinary people outside, the power of the masses united can truly be unbreakable.

In the magical world, when one's strength reaches the legendary level, it can be as devastating as a natural disaster.

Individual power can easily rewrite and manipulate the so-called will of the masses, so unity is not very meaningful in the magical world.

Think about it, who would isolate a contemporary legend? Mr. Flamel is a good example. He had no family, but alchemists flocked to him.

Ultimately, even a pack of thousands of hyenas is no match for a dragon. In my eyes, those pure-blooded nobles are no different from hyenas; they are just weaklings banding together for warmth.

And I am certain, absolutely certain, that I will become a 'dragon,' and you are clearly a dragon too, just as gifted as I am."

“…Well, that was a truly earth-shattering speech…” Anna exclaimed after a moment of stunned silence.

Suer's words bluntly revealed the true nature of the magical world, causing her to look down on purebloods even more for a moment.

She had originally planned to establish a family belonging to Anjou in the magic world to help her in the future, but now she thinks it's not necessary.

"Okay, I was originally thinking of building a big family like theirs in the future, but now I think I'll pass."

"Haha, it's good to establish a family, but I think making friends in the magical world is more important. You can't be sure if your family members are 'coyotes' or 'dragons,' but you can choose to make friends with people who are also 'dragons.'"

Before dinner tonight, I'll introduce you to a few people in my study group. Everyone there is quite talented, including Orminus and Sebastian. You've probably met most of them before, since there aren't many students at Hogwarts.”

“Of course, I’d be happy to.” Angelina is quite proactive in making friends with outstanding people. Birds of a feather flock together, and Suer’s friends can’t be bad!

As the two were chatting, a white snowy owl suddenly fluttered in and landed obediently on Angelina's shoulder. Sue recognized the owl; it was the one Angelina had just bought in Hogsmeade Village yesterday, and its name was Lily.

“Oh! Sue, Professor Figo wants me to come to his classroom. He has something to tell me, and I guess the investigation into that matter has yielded some results,” Angelina said.

"Okay, then you go ahead, I'll just have a couple more bites." Sue picked up the Yorkshire pudding next to her, swallowed the chicken leg meat in her mouth, and said in a slightly muffled voice.

Angelina was already used to Suer's appetite, and sometimes she envied Suer's ability to eat a lot without gaining weight.

Angelina left the cafeteria, but soon returned, in about five minutes. At that time, Sue had only eaten about half of the apple pie in her hand.

"Oh, so fast. What did Professor Figo say to you?"

When Su Er saw Angelina coming over, he knew she had encountered some trouble.

"Professor Figo did find something, but because of Mr. George's death, he was taken away by Principal Black, who said that the Ministry of Magic needed an explanation, so this matter may be delayed for the time being."

Sue nodded after hearing this: "Indeed, there's nothing we can do about it. Who told Black not to be a legend? That's why he's been playing a power struggle with the Malfoys in the Ministry of Magic. If he were like some old Bee Dumbledore... By the way, if you have any clues, I can actually help. Tell me about them."

“Okay, it’s the restricted book section. The professor said there are clues there,” Angelina said.

"Oh, I can wait and take you directly to the forbidden book section. I have a note from Principal Black that's always valid. Or if you like a bit of excitement, you can ask Sebastian out tonight. He always likes to go out at night, although he's quieter lately."

Since I became the class monitor, he hasn't gone out at night anymore. Perhaps it's because he knows that my appointment as the deputy class monitor will make an exception for him—what a strange habit.

Sue made a few comments about Sebastian's penchant for stirring up trouble. Similarly, his sister Annie had the same personality. If Annie had behaved herself, she wouldn't have been cursed.

“Oh, I didn’t know he was actually… like, how should I put it, suited for Gryffindor.” Angelina couldn’t quite describe Sebastian for a moment. “I think I’ll go with you, just to be on the safe side. I don’t want any accidents to happen. By the way, have you ever gone for a night stroll, Sue?”

"Yes, of course, but I usually just go to the kitchen for a late-night snack. It's right next to the Hufflepuff dorms. Because of that, I'm quite familiar with their current prefect, Pappy. I'll introduce you to her tonight. Okay, I'm done eating. Let's go, Anna."

Suer carefully placed the clean plates aside, then led Angelina through the main hall toward the library.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Agnes. I need to go to the restricted book section."

"Oh, it's you. Here, this is the key. Keep it safe." Agnes was quite familiar with Suer, since Suer would often come to the library whenever he had free time. In her memory, Suer was a smart, well-behaved, and studious student, the typical kid next door.

Moreover, Sue had a note from Principal Black, so he probably wasn't going to the restricted area to do anything bad.

"Thank you, madam, and best of luck."

"Okay, but you also need to remember to balance work and rest."

Suer took the key, said a few words of good luck, and led Angelina toward the forbidden book section.

“Oh, youth is wonderful.” Librarian Agnes looked at Sue and Angelina with a maternal smile.

"Oh! Quesida, stop, stop! The library is not a place to practice magic!" Agnes was still exclaiming when suddenly a book swept past her head. After the initial shock, she immediately found the culprit.

Sull, who had just opened the door to the restricted book area, smiled upon hearing Lady Agnes's slightly angry shout and said to Angelina beside him, "Quesida Blum is also a member of our study group. Her learning progress is much faster than most students. She can now cast spells silently. Although she still stumbles a bit, she is a genius. Alright, the door is open, let's go."
