018. Slytherin
Lynn recalls the first time he met Professor Fox.
He really couldn't compare the old man who liked to tease people, who was a little cool and cute, with the murderer that Betty mentioned.
"Can you give me the creamy sponge cake in front of you?"
Betty asked softly as she looked at Lynn.
"Uh, that's OK."
In fact, Lynn also wants to eat the only sweets on this long table, and this one he usually loves the most.
But just now, people helped him to clear the siege, and Lin En was embarrassed to refuse.
He was still confused about Professor Fox's affairs, but now his information is limited. He could not believe that Professor Fox is a bad person based on his own words.
What Lynn can believe now is the character of Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall.
Obviously, they trust Fox quite a bit, and Lynn himself has a good impression of him, otherwise he would not be willing to accept each other's investment.
As for what the murder is like...
It would be great if you had the opportunity to ask clearly in person. There was no need to create too much suspicion because of such things.
The atmosphere in Slytherin is actually pretty good.
Most of the next generation here are cultivated from family education. There will definitely be some who have wronged or have bad family traditions, but they are basically easy to get along with.
The senior students told them a lot of interesting things about Hogwarts, and a creamy sponge cake suddenly appeared in front of Lynn, which made him sigh at the thoughtfulness of the house elf.
After dinner, everyone sang Hogwarts' school songs in different tunes. The scene was messy, but it could be seen that Dumbledore liked it very much.
The freshmen were led back to their dormitories by the chiefs of various colleges.
"Our dean, Professor Snape, may not have a good reputation in the school, but every Slytherin student loves him sincerely. Do you know why?"
Slytherin's dormitory is underground, and on the way Betty explains the professors of various courses to the freshmen.
The freshmen shook their heads and said they were unaware of it. Judy explained to them as she walked:
"Because the reason why Professor Snape made students from other colleges hate it is that he favored us too openly. Perhaps it is not fair to them from the standpoint of other colleges, but why did the professor do this?
The ultimate benefit is not the Slytherin students.
So any student in the college has reason to hate him, but we can't. He may be unfair, but he really is asking us, the best dean for Slytherin."
"You may know that Gryffindor is keen on courage, Ravenclaw prefers wisdom, Hufflepuff advocates loyalty, and Slytherin, besides demanding savvy and ambition, many people ignore another quality in us: unity! Unity that belongs to Slytherin alone."
"Do you know? Everyone who enters the Snake House has the potential to become a great person, which proves that Salazar Slytherin is interested in your unique qualities. There are many rumors outside our college, saying that we all like to study black magic, and spread rumors that we regard bloodline as the admissions standard.
You shouldn't believe what the colleges that compete with us say. I don't deny that our college has produced some dark wizards, but the other three colleges also have dark wizards - they just don't want to admit it.
Yes, we have a tendency to recruit descendants of the prestigious Wizard family, and you can also find that many Slytherin students have at least one parent that is Muggle.
I like our courtyard emblem very much, the giant snake represents: cunning, powerful, and often easily misunderstood.”
Following the little wizards behind her listened to what she said, they soon had a deep impression of the Slytherin academy.
Betty is undoubtedly a qualified premier, and even Lynn has made a significant improvement in the Snake House through her introduction.
They followed Betty to a hidden entrance to the basement.
"You need a password to enter the lounge. The password is changed once every two weeks. It is prohibited to be recorded on paper, and it is also prohibited to be transmitted to other colleges. The new password the day before each time you change the password will be published on the signboard in the lounge. The password for the past two weeks is: Blood oath."
The freshmen walked into the Slytherin common room, which was pretty to be honest.
The lounge is located at the bottom of the lake and is translucent. The walls are made of black Gothic marble. The ceiling is a crystal-carved transparent semicircle, and you can see the shimmering waves under the moonlight above your head.
The ceiling is tied with green lights with chains. There is a fireplace inside with a beautifully carved mantel with carved chairs next to it. Occasionally, some huge octopus or strange creatures can be seen through the windows.
"Brad, do you have time to help me take these gentlemen to their dormitory? I still need to take care of the girls."
Betty said to a boy reading a newspaper in the lounge.
Brad put down the newspaper in his hand and stood up and said, "Where is the boy's chief Raphael? Why are you the only one receiving the freshman?"
"Professor Snape has called him to help with the materials needed for tomorrow's class."
"That's really a coincidence." Brad shrugged, "Let them leave it to me."
Lin En and the others separated from the girls and changed into a new guide to take them to the boys' dormitory.
The luggage and pets have been sent to everyone's bed by the house elves.
After Lin En arrived at the dormitory, he fed Xiaomeng some water and chopped biscuits to him before he started packing up his luggage.
The environment in the dormitory is very good.
The bed is a traditional four-poster bed with green silk curtains and silver thread embroidery on the bed cover. The medieval tapestries hung on the wall tell the great adventures of the famous Slytherin, and silver lanterns hanging from the ceiling.
Calm down and listen carefully, and you can also listen to the soft sound of the gentle waves at the bottom of the lake outside the window slapping on the window.
After Lynn packed everything, he took out the class schedule that Judy sent them before.
Tomorrow they have three classes, namely the morning spell class, the history of magic, and the afternoon potion class.
Instead of resting immediately, Lynn took out the textbooks for the three classes to be held tomorrow and quickly read the content that had been previewed during the summer vacation.
In order to get talent points in all disciplines, he must perform more outstandingly than other freshmen.
But at this moment, a discordant sneer came from beside him.
"What a genius I haven't met in three years? I think you are just a mediocre person who hasn't met in a century. How can you read books before you even start class? Are you afraid of embarrassing in class tomorrow?"
The number of wizards is small, as can be seen from the freshmen who enroll in Hogwarts every year.
There are only eight new boys in this class of Slytherin. Unfortunately, Lynn lives with the annoying naughty child Seubert.
Lynn glanced at him with his eyes removed from the book.
He was a teacher in his previous life. Although he was not teaching children of this age, he probably understood their ideas.
This Shubert obviously has problems with family education, that is, the family tradition is not correct.
In addition, he was taught a lesson by Betty at the dinner because of Lynn, and felt that he had lost face. Now he wanted to get this face back in front of two other roommates.
As for the purpose...
Maybe it's not just that Lynn is from a Muggle family and doesn't like it. He should also want to take this opportunity to establish his leadership among boys of the same class.
Well, as we say, he wants to be the leader.
The mind is simple, even childish and ridiculous, but it can also hurt people. Many campus violence evolved from this at the beginning.
For this phenomenon, Lynn had a perfect solution in his previous life, and even in the magic academy of Hogwarts, it worked.
He looked at Thubert coldly and chuckled.
