Hogwarts, where the stars shine

Gellert Grindelwald, one of the most powerful dark wizards in history, has power all over Europe and the United States, and has set off a protracted wizarding war throughout the magical world.

In 1945, Grindelwald was at the peak of his power.Dumbledore stood up and fought with him in a legendary duel, ultimately defeating him.Grindelwald was subsequently imprisoned in Nurmengard, ending the Wizarding War that swept across Europe and America.

The original Dark Lord attended Durmstrang when he was young, a school known for its tolerance of dark magic.When Grindelwald was 16, even Durmstrang could no longer tolerate his evil experiments, and he was expelled from school.

While studying at school, Grindelwald once left a symbol on a wall, which is exactly the triangle eye symbol that Snape drew today.Later, this symbol also became one of Grindelwald's personal symbols.

However, because Grindelwald's horror has never landed in Britain, and because he is a rising star in the country, Grindelwald's reputation in the British Isles is not as good as Voldemort's.

When the British wizarding community mentions the Dark Lord, the first thing that comes to mind is Voldemort and his Dark Mark, not Grindelwald and the triangle eye symbol.Many people don't even know this symbol exists.

The triangular eye symbol with a vertical line in the pupil may be left by someone who is pursuing the Deathly Hallows, or it may be a follower of Grindelwald.

It seems that if you want to understand the doubts hanging over Hogwarts, you must confirm what the triangular eye symbol specifically refers to.Only in this way can we follow the clues and identify the people behind the scenes.

"Mesa, tell me what you think?" Lilia said, "If there really is a Deathly Hallows in the school, where do you think it would be hidden?"

"I don't know." Mesa shook his head. "It's okay if it's in someone's hands, but if it's hidden in the school, it's hard to find it. There are too many secrets in Hogwarts."

With its vast grounds and majestic castle, Hogwarts is like a huge mystery.Many people spend their entire lives seeing and understanding only the tip of the iceberg of school, and it is difficult to see the whole picture.

If someone is determined to find out all the secrets of the school, he will never want to leave the school in his life.This feeling became stronger every time Mesa found a secret passage in the castle.

"Anyway, at least we have clarified something through this symbol." Mesa continued, "This person's purpose is different from Steele Martin, and his actions are not against Slytherin."

Lilia and the other three nodded with deep understanding.As Steele Martin rests in the spirit skin space, many strange things that happened in the last school year have come to light one by one.

The Quidditch players fell seriously ill, the Slytherin students fell into coma, and the common room crisis at the end of the school year were all proven to be the work of Steele Martin.

It can be said that Steele Martin left a great psychological shadow on Slytherin students.This year's Slytherin house team overhaul is a concrete manifestation of this psychological shadow.

It's just that Professor Martin only left a psychological shadow, but did not teach the Slytherin students integrity.The Slytherin house team, which has undergone a major change, still plays games in a rough way.

"Can I tell other people about this symbol?" Gascoigne asked. "The more people know, the more power it will have."

In Slytherin House, Gascoigne's situation was different from Mesa's.Mesa could ignore the entire college, but Gascoigne couldn't.

Everyone knew that Gascoigne was looking for Mesa. Even if he said that he had found nothing, no one would believe him.People only believe what they want to believe.

Of course, Gascoigne could also leak the news directly and lend flowers to the Buddha; or Gascoigne could still say nothing and blame Mesa for the reason why he couldn't.

Whether he said it or not, Gascoigne could take it out, and he would only offend Mesa.No matter how powerful Mesa is, can he still kill him?

Gascoigne's behavior of soliciting opinions did not have much impact on the outcome, but it showed that he was aboveboard in his conduct.This is a choice that can increase your favorability.

"Yes, but the scope needs to be controlled. I don't want everyone to know about it," Mesa said.

Snape told him the symbol, but didn't ask him to keep it a secret, obviously letting Mesa figure it out.Mesa's approach is to implement "differential treatment" to the end.

If you want to know first-hand inside information in the future, then let go of your narrow prejudices and become friends with Mesa first.It's quite a childish approach, but sometimes the simpler and childish the method, the more effective it is.

Just like Gemma Farley at this moment, this girl who has always been open-minded about Mesa, her liking for Mesa has increased a lot.Just because she is the third (fourth) person in the college who knows the inside information.

"One more thing." Lilia said, "When you tell others, you must state in advance that you have Mesa's permission!"

"Of course." Gascoigne agreed. "Everyone knows that I came to the dormitory to find you. My source of information can only be Mesa Black."

Lilia wanted to say something else, but Mesa didn't let her continue. Mesa knew exactly what she wanted to say.

"It doesn't matter whether you say it or not." Mesa said, "There are not many people in the entire Slytherin House that I am willing to believe, and you happen to be one of them."

Hearing this, Gascoigne was stunned for a moment.It was probably Mesa's refusal of the olive branch when he was alone for the first time that made Gascoigne feel that he was a very difficult person to get along with.

In fact, Mesa is an easy person to get along with. If you treat him sincerely, you will receive Mesa's friendship.Give me papaya and give me Qiongju in return.

Gascoigne looked at the boy in front of him who was much younger than him, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart: He could take over from me and complete what I failed to do in school.

"I understand that even if all the students in the college know this symbol, only a few people can help." Gascoigne said, "I will watch and deal with it."

With that said, Gascoigne and Gemma Farley stood up to leave.

Before walking out of the dormitory, Gascoigne said: "Mesa Black, what I said last year still stands."

In Slytherin House, there is a small group surrounding Gascoigne, most of whose members are mixed-race wizards in the house.

Gascoigne graduates next summer, and he needs someone to replace him and continue to lead this small group forward.The person he originally favored was Gemma Farley, but now it's Mesa Black.

Mesa, who has strong personal strength and is a Muggle-born, may be a more suitable person to lead this student group.

"Thank you again for the invitation, Gascoigne." Mesa said seriously, "but I don't like to be inferior to others, unless... forget it."

Gascoigne and Gemma Farley left, taking with them Mesa's first-hand information and the half of Mesa's unsaid words - unless that man could convince me from the bottom of his heart.

Just like Mesa and Severus Snape, there is no master-student relationship between the two, they are the purest relationship of use.Mesa needs Snape's help and training, and Snape needs Mesa's help to achieve his own goals.

Gascoigne was not Snape, and the Slytherin prefects could not give him what the Head of Slytherin could give him.Gascoigne does not yet have the strength to allow Mesa to stand and strike.

After the two visitors left, Lilia immediately asked: "Why didn't you let me finish just now? Let them know that you deliberately leaked the news, which should bring you closer to the other Slytherins."

"Of course I know, Lilia," Mesa explained, "but if I wanted to do this, I said so in the common room, so why bother with Gascoigne?"

Mesa continued: "Not everyone is worth winning over. Compared with the bunch of losers outside, winning over Gascoigne is a better choice, so I gave him a favor."

Mesa not only wanted to win over Gascoigne, but also wanted to dominate the student body surrounding him.With the help of this small mixed-race group, he gradually expanded his personal influence in the college.

In this case, Gascoigne's attitude becomes very important.The first step of showing good intentions has been completed, and the next step is how to convince the Slytherin prefect and make him willing to become his deputy.
