A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 581 The Student Council President Who Was sidelined

There is no love for no reason, and no hate for no reason.

William admitted that he couldn't make everyone like him, and he couldn't even manage to avoid being disliked.

People always have reasons for not liking you.

Malfoy disliked him, having been ripped off for 100,000 Galleons and various goblin silverwares... He hated him with a perfectly justified air.

The fairies didn't like it either; millions of Galleons, not a small amount to be taken lightly... They expressed their disgust with great conviction.

William founded Akali's Shop, which has encroached on the interests of many wizards. He is also preparing to establish a monopoly and is currently waging a trade war.

There are even more people who dislike him.

If they don't like it, they don't like it. William didn't come to the wizarding world to be liked by them.

For him, it's enough that the people he cares about like him.

But there's one good thing about adult wizards: whether you hate them or ignore them, at least you can maintain appearances and avoid a complete falling out.

So, perhaps because he had dealt with these wizards so much, William actually found it a little funny to be targeted so openly by a young wizard.

McNeil's reasons for targeting him were simple and straightforward.

Walton McNeil is dead!

On the night of the Quidditch final, he attacked William's tent, but before he could get close, he was killed by dozens of house-elves.

He was eventually labeled a Death Eater.

Bitt, also a member of the McNeil family, wanted to use his position as student council president to trip up William.

But William considered this little trick too low-level; the two were simply not on the same level.

He's busy saving the world all day long, dealing with either Tom, the source of all evil, or high-ranking officials from the Ministries of Magic of various countries. A male student council president... Who do you think you are?

"Excuse me... what is your relationship with the deceased Death Eater Walton McNeil?"

William asked in a drawn-out voice, like Professor Snape, in a lazy tone.

"What do you mean?" McNeil stood up immediately, like a snake whose tail had been stepped on.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to know... if we're related to each other..." William said with a smile.

"It's his uncle..." Judy Crouch immediately shrieked.

"Uncle...that explains it." William crossed his arms, leaned back in his chair, and said softly:

"There was a wizard who pointed at your uncle's corpse and said to me... 'This is what happens to Death Eaters! Even your own son will die!'"

Do you know how many Galleons that guy ended up paying me back?

"What does this have to do with what happened today?" McNeil took a step back, his tone blustering but his voice betraying his fear.

"He was just a passerby, yet he paid me 100,000 Galleons..." William narrowed his eyes. "McNeil, as the person involved, was not only a Death Eater but also attacked my tent."

He's dead. You think that's the end of the matter?

"We're not Death Eaters!" McNeil hurriedly clarified. "Even if you're powerful, would you dare lay a hand on us?"

"Just investigate. I think Minister Fouché should be very interested in your family."

William pursed his lips and said coldly.

"Who knows what you're hiding in your house? Maybe letters communicating with Death Eaters. If the Aurors want to investigate... they'll find something eventually."

The entire carriage was deathly silent, especially among the Slytherin students. McNeil was deathly pale, and his back was soaked with sweat.

In fact, even without William's prompting, Minister Fudge would have taken action.

He wouldn't even spare the Malfoys, let alone a much smaller man like Myrnil.

When someone dies... Gringotts must have some assets, right?

If we don't offer something, will this matter be resolved?

Minister Fouché may be bad in many ways, but when it comes to exploiting people... he's still alright.

So William was simply informing the student council president about something that was happening.

What kind of conflict is between students? What kind of student council president?

William's direct, family-level attack was enough to terrify McNeil.

"Alright, we've gotten off topic... let's get back to this." William suddenly laughed, as if nothing had just happened.

"The school did not prohibit Akali's Secret Shop from selling items."

He looked at McNeil: "If you really want to ban it, get off the train and go find your Dean, Professor Snape."

If he agrees, I will stop selling immediately without hesitation.

"But I'm the president of the male student council," McNeil said, leaning on his chair with difficulty. "I'll ask him myself after I get off the train. I'm in charge now..."

"Is that so?" William asked calmly. "I don't think so?"

Cedric, as if on cue, immediately looked at Pamela, the president of Hufflepuff School.

"I object! The student council president can't decide everything!" Pamela stood up.

"I will report you to Professor Dumbledore for attempting to abuse your position."

"Since the two chairpersons have differing opinions, let's convene an expanded meeting of class leaders and vote by show of hands," Qiu suggested.

"Raise your hand if you support McNeil..."

McNeil raised his hand, but when he looked around, only one sixth-grade Slytherin student raised his hand.

Even the Slytherin prefects who had previously spoken to him suddenly changed their minds and did not raise their hands in support of him.

William shrugged and smiled. "The result is obvious, Mr. Chairman."

Do you have any other suggestions? Just say them all, because... none of them will be approved by me anyway.

McNeil stood frozen in place, his face deathly pale.

On his very first day here... his position as president of the male student council was completely undermined!

Whether out of anger or a desire to write home, he quickly found an excuse and left the prefect's car.

The Gryffindor prefects cheered as if they had won a great victory.

Qiu stood up, playing her public relations role, and said with a smile, "The class monitor's treatment remains unchanged, and the goods sold today will still enjoy a 40% discount... The chairman will enjoy a 50% discount."

The atmosphere instantly became lively again... Enough said, just one word: Buy!

……

……

The incident involving the class leader's carriage was just a minor episode.

William is always amiable and rarely causes trouble for others. But if someone really wants to cause him trouble, he doesn't mind using a drastic, overwhelming force.

During the patrol, William and Cedric switched places, allowing William to patrol with Cho.

Good bro!

As he was leaving, Cedric gave him a wink, hinting that he and Hermione would have a chance next year.

To paraphrase Cedric: "To be frank, I'd probably be student president next year, and switching places with you would be a piece of cake."

Ah this...

William had a feeling that he would have to be careful this year, or something might happen.

Otherwise, it would be a disservice to this resounding promise.

The girl patrolling with William was a Hufflepuff... she looked chubby and had red hair.

She chattered incessantly the whole way, asking about the Quidditch World Cup and hinting that she was still single.

William can pursue this relentlessly.

No wonder Cedric was overjoyed when he heard that William was willing to switch positions.

He thought that even if he patrolled with Qiu, it wouldn't be that exciting... Turns out there was this reason.

William was trying to get rid of her when he looked up and saw Astoria.

She was handing out flyers in the hallway, clearly advertising Akali's shady business.

That brat... she's still up to her old tricks!

She saw William, carrying a large handful of flyers, and turned to run away.

William walked over quickly, and she ran even faster.

However, his left foot tripped over his right foot, and he stumbled, falling heavily to the ground with a thud, his body sliding across the floor.

"..."

This is a staged accident, as you all saw, and it has nothing to do with William!
