The original confrontation in the auditorium became quiet as Yang An appeared.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the passage where the crowd automatically separated.

Yang An walked in step by step.

Yang An glanced around and saw everyone’s faces. Those little wizards who were so excited just now were now either lowering their heads or looking away out of guilt. Some even wanted to retire.

The shadow that Yang An had pinned to the ground and rubbed against him single-handedly a few years ago seemed to have returned.

Although the freshmen have not seen the scene at that time, students above the fourth grade still remember it vividly.

As the auditorium quickly became quiet, almost silent, the freshmen held their breath and dared not make a sound.

Yang An’s gaze fell on Malfoy and Harry, the two people in the center of the confrontation, and of course the people around them, such as Pansy, Hermione and others.

“Malfoy, what’s going on?”

When his name was called, Malfoy’s eyes flickered, and he immediately turned his head and made a humble gesture.

“Yang, Potter insulted the senior and even drew his wand to attack.”

“I saw a Slytherin senior being bullied, so I stepped forward to help.”

Malfoy knew how to confuse right and wrong, and he did not mention that it was those senior Slytherin girls who started the trouble first.

Hearing this, Yang An’s eyes fell on those girls.

The senior girls who had been so arrogant just now and boasted of their noble status, now dared not even breathe a word in front of Yang An. They lowered their heads and said nothing.

“Is that right?”

It was hard to tell whether Yang An’s tone was happy or angry. Instead, it was so calm that people couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

“We just wanted to talk to Miss Granger, nothing else. It seems that Mr. Potter has misunderstood.”

One of the girls started to think.

They were smart and did not confuse right and wrong, after all, so many people were watching.

Of course, they didn’t tell the truth, and even hoped that Yang An was also a Slytherin and could make the matter smaller.

But they were obviously thinking too well.

Yang An looked at Harry who was hesitant to speak and Hermione who had a livid face.

“Do you have anything to refute?”

Harry spoke up immediately, his face full of anger, and he retorted loudly, “Malfoy is lying, it was those girls who came up and besieged Hermione first, and told her to stay away from you, and laughed at her background, and said she was a mudblood!”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a slight commotion in the crowd. Everyone on the Gryffindor side was united in their hatred of the enemy, but on the Slytherin side, there were some differences. Some students frowned, obviously unaware of the inside story. They just saw students from their own house arguing with their rival house, so they stepped forward to help.

But Slytherin students are not just stupid, on the contrary they are very smart. Most of them come from official or pure-blood aristocratic families, and know that there are some things that can be said in private but not in person.

Now those girls have obviously violated a taboo, and no matter who makes the comments, they are unreasonable.

Some of the Slytherins began to quietly back away.

Others looked sarcastic or indifferent, with expressions that seemed to say, isn’t she?
Yang An had roughly guessed the situation, not to mention that he could use telepathy, which he had used on those girls and saw what happened.

“Is that so?” Yang An looked at Hermione. Hermione nodded and looked at the girls with disgust.

“No, she’s lying! We didn’t.”

Several Slytherin girls finally realized that something was wrong and screamed.

“We just told her not to get too close to you, we didn’t say anything else.”

“Shut up!”

Before the girls could finish speaking, Yang An’s voice, as loud and deep as a bell, rang out. He glanced coldly at the girls with his golden eyes. Their faces immediately turned pale and they huddled up into a ball, like ordinary people who were helpless facing a giant dragon.

“First, it is polite not to interrupt when others are speaking. As purebloods and Slytherin students, you should always maintain etiquette.”

“Secondly, it seems that you have forgotten one thing. I am also from a Muggle family. Perhaps you not only look down on Granger, but also on me?

“No, it’s not like that.” Several girls hurriedly tried to explain in a low voice.

But Yang An ignored him. He took a step forward, and the huge dragon power crashed into the center of the Slytherin and Gryffindor students who were still confronting each other like a tsunami. They finally couldn’t bear the pressure and began to retreat one after another, fearing that they would be crushed by the pressure if they were a step late.

“Third, it seems that you guys can’t decide who I want to associate with!”

Malfoy’s expression turned pale. He wanted to step back, but he could feel an invisible edge that made him shudder surrounding him, making him dare not move a step. Now he began to regret why he rushed over to cause trouble when he saw Potter.

At this time, the professors also arrived.

Among them, Snape arrived the fastest. His black robe fluttered as he strode into the auditorium. At a glance, he saw a group of students who were frightened by the pressure and huddled in the corner like a group of quails, as well as Yang An and a few others in the center.

“What happened? Can someone explain it to me?” Snape narrowed his eyes and spoke in a cold voice, “Why are you all crowded here?”

Malfoy saw Snape coming out of the corner of his eye, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

Unfortunately, Snape passed by Malfoy without even looking at him, and walked straight to Yang An.

“what happened?”

Yang An noticed Snape’s arrival, but his expression didn’t change much. “Teacher, the two colleges almost turned into a melee just now. The cause was these ladies who surrounded Miss Granger and insulted her as a mudblood.”

This word seemed to immediately bring back some bad memories in Snape’s memory, fragments that made him regret, and also made Snape’s expression immediately gloomy. His terrifying eyes fell on the pale girls and said lightly, “Is that so?”

“Dean, we know we were wrong. Please forgive us this time.” Several senior girls, who had long been frightened out of their wits by Yang Anjun’s might, cried as if they had seen a savior.

They thought their head of house would save them, but Snape’s expression was as black as ice.

“Many people heard it.” Yang An said softly, “Teacher, I also come from a Muggle family, and I am also what they call a mudblood.”

“What are you going to do with them?” Snape turned away from looking at the girls and asked Yang An.

“Don’t worry, I won’t hit you. I will punish you according to the school rules.”

Yang An thought about it and said to the girls.

Upon hearing this, their bodies suddenly relaxed, and some girls even fell to the ground, with their clothes becoming wet.

It’s no wonder they were afraid, because the flames on Yang An’s body and the majesty of the bronze king came from stepping on countless dry bones. The murderous intent that was almost condensed into substance would scare them, not to mention them. Even if their fathers came here, they would be so scared that they could only kneel on the ground obediently.

This is much more terrifying than Voldemort’s murderous aura. “But there is one thing I forgot to tell you.”

Of course, Yang An couldn’t let them go so easily.

“The Ministry of Magic has recently issued a decree that lists words that discriminate against wizards of other origins as banned words. If someone says it unintentionally, they will be fined 500 to 1,000 Galleons. If someone says it intentionally with malicious intent and causes a bad influence, they will be sentenced to a heavier punishment, including confiscation of property or imprisonment in Azkaban!”

Several girls were stunned when they heard this, and suddenly raised their heads to look at Yang An, who was looking down at them from above. Their faces could not be seen clearly, as if he was covered by a layer of golden light. At this moment, he looked like a god who was about to give an order.

“Your behavior of discriminating against classmates almost caused a large-scale fight between the two colleges. You refused to admit the truth and tried to conceal and distort the facts with lies. You did not repent or apologize, which was a bad influence.”

“I will inform the Ministry of Magic about this. You are not yet adults, but it doesn’t matter. Your family will be disgraced and will be stripped of the title of the Holy Twenty-Eight Pure-Blood Families. Some of their property will be confiscated as punishment.”

Hearing this, the faces of the surrounding Slytherin students changed drastically. They did not expect that this would directly affect their own family, but no one dared to question the authenticity of this matter.

“in addition!”

Before Yang An finished speaking, he tilted his head and stared at the girls slumped on the ground. “As a senior consultant of Birmingham Company, I will order the suspension of all business cooperation with your family. All stores under Birmingham Company will refuse to discriminate against other wizards to enter.”

“That is to say, your family will never make a penny in the UK.”

“Soon your family will decline and eventually become a poor family. You will no longer have a status that you can be proud of and that makes you think you are superior. I hope that by then you can be more respectful to the wizards you look down upon.”

After saying that, Yang An stopped paying attention to the girls who didn’t understand the seriousness of the situation.

He would not punish them physically directly, but would deprive them of everything they had, their noble birth, their family wealth, their social status.

They would soon learn that this punishment was far more painful than physical torture or even death.

Snape, however, clearly knew the consequences of Yang An’s words. He frowned slightly and looked at Yang An, as if wanting to say that such a punishment seemed a bit too severe.

But when he saw Hermione standing behind Yang An, looking at him with burning eyes and a little admiration.

Snape’s distant memories were pulled out again.

They are both students of Gryffindor and Slytherin, one has black hair and the other has brown hair, and they are both excellent in academics.
But the results are completely different.

Snape spent almost his entire life atonement for that one sentence he blurted out, and the word “Mudblood” almost became a taboo in Snape’s heart.

“Fifty points deducted from Slytherin House.”

“Yang An, you take care of the rest of the things. I don’t want to see this kind of thing happen again.” After Snape said this, he threw his robe and turned to leave.

Snape’s words undoubtedly helped Yang An to take the lead, and also made those Slytherins who were still holding on to hope hang their heads like eggplants hit by frost.

Yang An nodded, glanced at the people around him, and waved, “Don’t just stand there, it’s time to eat.”

“It’s all gone.”

The students who were eating melons and the Gryffindor students dispersed.

Only a few girls were left slumped on the ground.

No Slytherin students came to support them. After all, these girls were too stupid to open the microphone in public. According to Yang An, their families would probably end up in a miserable state.

Whether they believe it or not, the Slytherin students who know how to protect themselves wisely and pay more attention to their own interests will no longer pay attention to them, but wait and see what happens.

Seeing this, Malfoy also wanted to sneak away when no one was paying attention, but was stopped by Yang An the next second.

“Draco Malfoy, come here.”

Malfoy gritted his teeth helplessly and turned to walk over.

“Yang, I don’t know what they said.”

Looking at Malfoy who was still trying to get away with it, Yang An was too lazy to bother with this kid. After all, his father was still of some use to Yang An.

“Apologize to Hermione and Potter, and I won’t punish you this time.”

Malfoy was actually relieved in his heart. Now he was even more afraid of Yang An. He nodded quickly and looked at Harry and Hermione opposite him. “Sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have said those words just now.”

That’s right, if Malfoy had known those senior female students were so useless, he wouldn’t have bothered to come forward to help.

The result was that he lost more than he gained.

Harry was actually very satisfied with the result, and he even felt a little grateful to Yang An. If someone had released a spell first in the dilemma just now, the result would definitely have turned into a big melee.

This is not good.

Harry turned his head and looked at Hermione – Hermione was the victim this time, so he should at least see if Hermione accepted the apology.

“Yeah.” Hermione nodded coldly. After all, she and Malfoy were old enemies, and she didn’t bother to care about his apology which was obviously not sincere.

“Let’s go.”

Yang An spoke, and Hermione quickly followed. Harry hesitated for a moment and left with them. He didn’t ask why he didn’t want those girls to apologize.

Although Harry was a little curious.

After the three of them walked out, Harry couldn’t help but ask, “Why don’t you ask those girls to apologize too?”

Like everyone else, Harry was not very clear about the consequences of Yang An’s words just now.

“What’s the use of a reluctant apology? The best apology is when you feel the consequences and sincerely repent without being able to undo it.”

Yang An knew Harry would ask this, so he spoke calmly.

Harry didn’t quite understand at first, but soon he finally understood what Yang An meant. He didn’t need a superficial apology, but wanted to see the results of the punishment.

“I understand.”

Although Harry knew from Hermione that Yang An had actually helped them a lot, he still felt a little uncomfortable seeing Yang An. He followed Yang An and Hermione through a corridor and stopped at an intersection.

“You guys should go to the library. I think I should go to the school infirmary to see Ron. He should be well enough to be discharged, so.”

“Go pick up Harry.” Hermione nodded, “Give Ron my regards.”

Seeing this, Harry could only nod and leave.

It seemed that Hermione had not visited Ron during the days he was in the hospital.

Yes, once cracks appear in people’s hearts, how can they be healed easily?
