"Why are you looking at him for?" The brown haired one snorted. "Potter obviously hates the dark lord and..."
"Of course I do," Harry cut him off. "of course I hate him. He killed my parents, but despite that I truly believe that he is a great wizard." Harry said, surprising many people. "Despite my feelings on him as a person, he is a great wizard. But if I push my hatred to the side then I can still say he did not really help purebloods, halfbloods or muggleborns."
"What do you mean?" A first year girl asked, she just like the rest of the common room were giving Harry their complete attention.
"Well, think of it this way, if Voldemort had his way then purebloods would be on top and then halfbloods and then muggleborns would either be wiped out or enslaved, now that's what everyone believes, correct?" Harry asked, the Slytherin's had winced at his casual use of the dark lord's name but most nodded. "Great, well...here's the thing, if you think that that is his ultimate goal, his one goal above everything else, then...your wrong."
"What is his goal then?" A fourth year asked.
"The answer is quite simply 'power'." Harry answered. "Voldemort..."
"Don't call him that!" Pansy hissed. "You're not supposed to speak his name."
"I'm not afraid of him, I'd say his damn name and I'd say it to his face." Harry replied. "Anyway, Voldemort..." Harry drawled out the name, several Slytherin's winced, hissed and glared at Harry. "...might truly believe in blood dominating above everything else, he might. But I've done my research and his main goal is not to help purebloods."
"Of course it is!" A second year blurted out.
"Is it?" Harry asked, raising an eyebrow. "Explain something to me then, have you ever heard of the Whitetail family?" Harry asked, the second year paused before shaking his head to say that he had not. "They're a pureblood family that had existed in Britain for over four hundred years. Do you know what happened to them?"
"No." The second year shook his head.
"They were wiped out by Voldemort," Harry told him in a blunt manner, he looked around and saw all of the Slytherin's were still paying attention to him. "that's four hundred years of history, give or take, wiped out and another pureblood family lost to time. How about the Redwoods? Another pureblood family, one with history of two hundred years, wiped out. The Doorsons, a pureblood family that has lived for over five hundred years in this country, they were reduced and cut down to one elderly old man who was too old to have kids. Can you imagine that? Imagine knowing that your family, all of its money and all of its history, has been cut down until you're the only one left and you can't bring it back to life?" Harry asked, the common room remained silent as Harry's words registered in their ears. "How about a more modern example? The Bones family has been reduced to two members, one of which is in my year, the Longbottom family is currently hoping for Neville Longbottom to provide a heir so they can continue. Or better yet, how about my family? The Potters are an ancient and most noble house, we've been in Britain since Ancient Rome. Yet thanks to one man, thanks to Voldemort..." Harry ignored everyone's reaction and continued speaking. "we have been reduced to just me. All of that power, that history, that prestige, the talent, skill, all that pure blood and all that magic wasted, all of it would have been wiped out completely if not for what was either a trillion to one fluke or a trap by my muggleborn mother.
The way I see it, Voldemort has cost us more pureblood families than any of the muggleborns in this school have." Harry paused before he looked around, and saw people taking in his words. "Don't believe me? Then do your own research, go and see how many families have become extinct thanks to Voldemort. If we didn't need muggleborns before then we most definitely do now, two wars have cut down the country's magical population, muggleborns are the key to bringing the population back up. Besides, as I've said before, muggleborns have children who will have more children and could eventually create more purebloods. It's basic logic. Perhaps it's the will of magic? I'm not one to argue with magic." Harry shrugged before he stood up. "I'm going for a walk, do you want to come?" He asked Daphne.
"Sure." She said in a soft voice as she took the hand he offered and stood up.
"Tracey, do us a favour and look after Thor please." Harry said to her before turning to Jet. "Jet, do me a favour and look after Tracey and Thor please."
"As you wish, Master." Jet nodded before Harry and Daphne left. Jet turned to the other Slytherins. "You all have brains, why don't you use them?" He asked in genuine confusion before shaking his head. The Slytherin's could not understand him but most of them could tell that whatever he said was not a compliment.
