Erwin continued, "Almost all the descendants of the pure-blood families are in Slytherin, except for those pure-blood families that have already faded into obscurity! What a massive force this is, and I am their leader. What I do at Hogwarts cannot be hidden. From the moment I became the Slytherin Prefect, my existence has already been a threat to certain people! To say nothing of the distant future, let's just talk about the Ministry of Magic. I'm still a student now, but what about seven years from now, the day I graduate? Right now, I'm a first-year, and behind me stand the little snakes of all seven years. They will graduate as time passes, and by the time I'm in my seventh year, a brand-new set of seven years of students will be my backing. Who can ignore this kind of power? Will the Ministry of Magic be afraid? In my view, this is the true value of being the Prefect—having a grasp on these students!"
Snape fell silent.
He knew there wasn't a single flaw in what Erwin had said.
