"You know what you're talking about, right?"Levid asked in a deep voice.
"Well, I know very well.
I... I want to join your mutual aid society!"
Abraxas said in a trembling voice.
"You should know that we seem to be enemies..."
Levid said slowly.
Abraxas said quickly: "It should be said that we were once!
Now it's impossible for me to be your enemy anymore! You know that!"
"That's hard to say... Who knows what bad idea you have in joining us?"
Levid looked at Abraxas with suspicion.
"I also know that I was wrong before.
Here, I apologize to you again!
I... I beg for your forgiveness."
Levid pondered, and seemed to be really considering it.
Seeing this, Abraxas thought Levid's resolve had wavered, and quickly said, "Please, let me join... You should at least give me a chance to correct my mistakes, right?"
Levid replied calmly, "When I was recruiting the other day, I told everyone that our club is open to everyone except those bad guys.
And you, my friend, you should know what kind of person all of us think of you."
"But... I... I really know I was wrong!"
Abraxas was so anxious that he almost cried.
Levid sneered, "You know you were wrong?
No, you don't know you were wrong.
You just know you can't stay at Hogwarts anymore."
"I..." Abraxas was speechless with despair.
It was clear that Levid had completely seen through his current situation.
He was now completely at odds with his former companions.
Who had made him betray them so directly before?
At this point, if Levid didn't want to take him in, then his only option was to transfer schools...
He really didn't want to transfer.
Where could he go?
Beauxbatons?
Durmstrang?
Or even Ilvermorny?
But going to those places would transform him from a local pureblood into an outsider.
He'd seen Levid's initial ostracism!
He didn't have Levid's ability to forge a path through the locals' ostracism...
Just as Abraxas was losing hope, Levid suddenly asked, "You said you knew you were wrong, didn't you?"
"Yes!
I know I was completely wrong!"
"Anyone can say nice things, but... I don't want to hear your half-truths.
If you truly know your mistakes and want to join us, you'll have to take real action!"
Levid said calmly.
Abraxas, desperate, suddenly heard a ray of hope, like a lifeline!
"Tell me, what should I do?"
"You need to prove yourself. You're not some pure-blooded jerk our club won't accept..."
Levid paused, then continued, "You should know how many people you've bullied in the past, right?"
"I... I've changed..."
"Answer my question!"
"I... I remember..."
"Write down the names of all those you've bullied, and then... go apologize to them one by one.
Remember, you only have three days.
If you sincerely apologize and earn their forgiveness, we'll certainly welcome you.
Otherwise... I can't help you."
Levid finished his words, striding past Abraxas without waiting for a reply.
Tom followed behind Levid, also giving the distraught Abraxas a cold glare.
Because of the large number of people, Levid had to apply for a larger club room.
Levid and Tom were currently using a levitation spell to decorate the new room.
"I thought you would just agree to Abraxas's request?"
Tom couldn't help but ask.
"People don't value things that are easily obtained," Levid smiled.
Tom's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized, "I see..."
"Hmm... but what if he can't earn the forgiveness of those he's bullied?"
Tom asked again.
"Then don't let him join."
Levid laughed.
"If his so-called 'sincerity' can't even earn others' forgiveness... then his so-called 'sincere apology' isn't sincere enough."
Tom suddenly laughed.
"I think I've guessed how he's going to gain others' forgiveness."
"Oh?
How so?"
Levid asked.
"Sincerity has a price. As long as there are enough Galleons in front of you, others will naturally recognize his sincerity!"
Tom laughed.
"It seems you already understand the style of these pure-bloods, Tom... But this is also the price he paid for his past mistakes, isn't it?"
Tom sighed.
"How can you understand so much..."
"You see a lot, so you naturally understand..."
Levid said with a hint of melancholy, thinking back to his life before the time travel.
Although this magical world is wonderful, the thought that it might be difficult to return to the old world made even Levid feel a sense of loss.
However, Tom's eyes saw something else.
This guy must have fallen out with his family for some reason...
Tom thought.
As the number of members in the mutual aid club gradually increased,
Li Weide and his team became increasingly busy.
To this end, Li Weide specially selected a few more members to serve as backbones, freeing himself from these trivial matters.
Wednesday night was the first collective activity of the mutual aid club.
Li Weide planned to use this collective activity to officially announce the club's charter and some rules.
As Wednesday night approached, the number of students joining the club finally began to decrease.
However, the club was already nearing saturation, so a decrease in the number of people joining was not a big problem.
It is worth mentioning that Abraxas finally gained the forgiveness of all those he had bullied and successfully "cleared his name."
Of course, only he himself knew the price he paid in the process.
Soon, Wednesday night arrived.
The club room, comprised of two large classrooms joined together, was bustling with activity.
Levid had already placed a number of long tables against the walls.
These were filled with food Alphard and his companions had brought from the house-elves in the kitchen.
The price they paid was a few insignificant words of praise, yet they still moved the elves to tears of gratitude.
Therefore, the members didn't feel bored while waiting.
The scene looked like a large party.
In the center of the activity room, there was a platform made up of four long tables.
Levitra, the club's leader, and Professor Slughorn, the advisor, were already standing on the platform, preparing.
As the clock next to them struck eight o'clock, a chime rang out.
The noise of the crowd gradually died down, and everyone's attention was focused on the stage.
Professor Slughorn smiled and nodded at Levitra.
"Go, Levitra. Meet your fellow students."
Levitra nodded and strode to the center of the platform.
Upon seeing Levitra, the audience couldn't help but applaud enthusiastically.
Just over a week into the school, Levitra had already put on a duel that Dumbledore praised as the most exciting ever fought between students since the founding of Hogwarts.
Moreover, within just a few days, he had completely crushed all the arrogant pure-blood wizards who had tried to oppose him!
It's worth mentioning that among these pure-blood wizards, there were quite a few senior students!
Yet, Levitra still succeeded, beating them so hard that they didn't even dare to complain to the professor!
This was a complete and utter defeat!
Everyone admired this!
Many even said that Levitra would become a wizard as powerful as Dumbledore in the future!
Many people joined the mutual aid society just for Levitra!
Facing the enthusiastic applause of the crowd, Levitra raised his hand and pressed it downwards.
The applause gradually subsided, and everyone looked at Levitra eagerly.
"Classmates... no, it should be brothers, sisters, friends, welcome... welcome you!"
"In my opinion, your warm applause should not be dedicated to me, but to yourselves."
"You can come here tonight because your hearts yearn for..."
"And deeply understand that... the conservative ideas are no longer useful to us!"
"You come here because you yearn for new things... civilization, equality, harmony, friendliness, integrity, justice, freedom!
Make progress together!
Yes, this is something no one has ever mentioned before..."
Livid paused, looked around, and then continued:
"Many people say that I hate pure-blood wizards... bullies, bullies, pure-blood supremacists!"
"No... In fact, I don't hate them, not at all..."
"Because our club was not built for hatred... and we are not fighting for hatred!"
"I don't think those pure-blood supremacists are really bad, but just have different values...
They are not hopeless, but a group of poor people who urgently need our rescue!"
"Speaking of which, I have to mention a comrade who has come to his senses.
He was once my enemy... but is now my friend!"
Levid's gaze fell on Abraxas, who was standing in the audience.
"Abraxas Malfoy!"
Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Abraxas, causing him to stiffen slightly.
"His sudden realization proves exactly that!"
"And in many cases, a sudden realization requires tremendous courage!
He needs to bravely sever his ties with his past!
That alone deserves everyone's applause!"
Warm applause erupted, and some even cheered at Abraxas.
Abraxas felt a little uncomfortable, but... honestly, this was the first time he'd been applauded and praised by so many people!
For a moment, he felt as if he'd drunk fine wine...
A reserved smile graced his face, and he bowed repeatedly to the students around him.
Although the cost of this defection was high, it now seemed... like it had been quite a success.
After a while, the applause gradually faded.
"The talent for magic can only blossom in a few people... and we, all of us standing here, are the most special 'minority'!"
"We are all wizards! We are all miracles of life!"
"In that case, why do we have to use blood to superficially distinguish between high and low?
Why do we have to waste time on such boring things?"
"We are still young now! We are the rising sun! The future wizarding world belongs to us!"
"Therefore, our mission in school has never been blood discrimination, nor has it been about grievances and disputes between colleges!"
"Hogwarts should not be like this!
We should have higher aspirations!"
"Our mission should be to cherish this hard-earned learning opportunity, support each other, and make progress together!
Fight for the future development and prosperity of the wizarding world!"
"This is the meaning of Hogwarts' existence!
It is also the reason for the emergence of our mutual aid society!
It is also the goal we strive for!"
"Everyone, work hard together!"
Although Li Weide did not say much, his words contained too many factors that could make young people excited.
Therefore, even though Levander had left the stage, the applause from the audience remained fervent and prolonged!
Tom watched Levander's back, his heart filled with emotion and envy.
In a word... a true man should be like this!
Professor Slughorn applauded continuously as he greeted Levander as he walked down.
"Levander, your speech puts me to shame!
Hogwarts really shouldn't be like this...
Merlin...
Slytherin House has been torn apart to this point under my leadership..."
"Teacher, everything will change!
Hasn't the change begun already?"
Nurmengard.
Grindelwald closed his eyes and rubbed his brow.
"...The team sent to investigate the Forbidden Forest has completely lost contact," Vita continued to report.
"The goblins aren't aware of this either, as their entire exploration team has also vanished without a trace!
Only traces of fire were found at their former camp..."
"Such no good news... Vita."
Grindelwald released his hand, his expression visibly exhausted.
"Any news from Annie?"
"No..." Vita took out a notebook, the same one she used to contact Anne.
"It seems that she is helping Wade set up a mutual aid student club, so she doesn't have much time to visit the places in the notebook for the time being..."
"Club?
What club?"
Grindelwald was attracted by the word.
"Student Mutual Aid Club... Well, this is all Anne's description of the club, and... this is the scene of the first club meeting she wrote down."
Vita said, handing over the notebook.
Grindelwald took the notebook and quickly browsed through it.
"Ah...
So that's how it is, a student mutual aid club?
It's a good idea...
But I didn't expect that Dumbledore would agree to it.
He really isn't worried at all."
"Speech... Hmm?
Why does this speech feel a little familiar to me?"
