Hearing Daphne Greengrass's words, Jon wanted to refuse.

However, he did not know the password required to enter the Slytherin common room.

And as a freshman arriving at Hogwarts for the first time, he shouldn't have known where the Slytherin common room was located.

In desperation, Jon followed Daphne and they reached the exit between the hall and the basement...... Then they walked down the stone steps and into the corridor of the basement.

The light in the basement was dim, and there was only a torch on the wall about a dozen yards apart.

A glimmer of light emanated from the end of Daphne's wand, guiding the way ahead.

The hallway was a little empty, except for the occasional eerie footsteps.

"This way!" Daphne would stop at each fork in the road and show Jon the way.

Other than that, they have little to no communication.

......

A few minutes later, they stopped beside an empty, wet stone wall.

On the stone wall, a stone door appeared, and the stone door was painted with a large snake, in which the snake's mouth bit its tail.

Facing the stone gate, Daphne Greengrass whispered, "Blood is thicker than blood. ”

The stone door, hidden in the stone wall, slowly opened with the password.

"The password changes every two weeks, pay attention to the bulletin board, it will be updated in time. Daphne whispered, and she led the way into the front basement.

It is a translucent lounge at the bottom of the lake, with walls made of black Gothic marble on both sides and a transparent semicircle carved from crystal on the ceiling.

At the same time, a greenish lamp was chained down, illuminating the entire basement.

As soon as I walked into the basement, I was greeted by a beautifully carved fireplace.

Beneath the fireplace, a crackling fire burned and several Slytherin students surrounded by.

"You wait there!" Daphne said, gesturing to the empty chairs by the fireplace, "and the prefects will take you to your dorm when they come back later." ”

With that, she strode to a door on the other side of the basement with a silver curtain on it......

Through the curtain, Daphne was gone.

......

Jon looked around curiously as he found a seat by the fireplace.

These fireplaceside chairs are all very low inclined, making it comfortable to lie on......

Jon glanced up at the ceiling and saw a giant squid floating slowly above it.

The first time he saw the squid's two black eyes and slightly hideous mouthparts so clearly from below, Jon was almost startled.

A Slytherin girl on the side giggled.

"I've heard that Durmstrang's castle was also built underwater?" she asked, grinning, as she sat down in her seat in front of Jon.

"yes...... But we don't have squid octopuses or anything like that, there are quite a few whales!" Jon forcibly explained, "So I almost scared the hell just now!"

Fortunately, the other party did not have any suspicions.

"Selwyn!" the girl, who was about Jon's age, held out a hand to him, "Tiffany Selwyn!"

Of course Jon knew who she was, after all, he had been a classmate with her for three years, although not from the same house.

"Christopher Patrick!" shook her hand, and Jon introduced himself.

"I know. Selwyn nodded, then asked with some curiosity, "Are you Austrian?"

"yes. Jon replied, "I was born in Linz, Austria......"

"My grandmother was also Austrian, and she came to England when she was twenty years old and ......," Selwyn said with a smile.

"Ouch......" Jon suddenly clutched his stomach, a pained expression on his face.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" asked Selwyn with concern.

"Looks like I'm having diarrhea......" Jon said with a struggling expression, "I might be a little unaccustomed to Hogwarts food!

Tiffany Selwyn frowned, but she stood up and pointed out Jon's bathroom.

......

Finally hiding in the bathroom, Jon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I was witty enough to make an excuse for the moment!

Otherwise, if the girl learns a few words of German from her grandmother and comes with her...... Isn't everything exposed?

Aside from the phrase "I'm alone", Jon doesn't know any German...... So he had already made up his mind that unless he confirmed that Selwyn could not speak a word of German, he would stay away from her in the future......

Huddled in the bathroom for a long time, and only then did Jon walk out when there was a commotion in the common room.

Sure enough, it was Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson, the two new prefects, who were back with their first-year freshmen.

"Christopher!" Malfoy beckoned to Jon as he saw a group of first-year students.

"That...... Draco ......" Jon walked over and asked Malfoy, "I don't know which dorm I'm supposed to be in?"

"Your bedroom...... I almost forgot!" Malfoy suddenly realized, "You should be in the same bedroom with Avery!"

"Come with me!" Malfoy threw the first-year students into Pansy Parkinson before motioning for Jon to follow him.

Following Malfoy's steps, Jon walked through the door with the silver curtain...... After a few turns, he came to a spacious room.

There were already three boys inside, two of whom were already lying on the bed, and one of them stood up and said hello to Malfoy and Jon.

Jon knew him, and he was Sean Avery...... At the sorting ceremony for the first time three years ago, his name was the first thing the sorting hat said.

There were four beds in the bedroom, one of which was empty, and Jon's luggage was next to it.

It is a traditional four-poster bed with green silk drapery and embroidered with silver thread on the bedspread.

On the wall is a medieval-style tapestry and a few silver lanterns hanging from the upper ceiling.

Malfoy gave Jon a few words about Hogwarts before leaving.

......

Jon Hart was lying on the bed with a silver blanket over her body.

There were a lot of things that came to mind, but I quickly forgot about them all.

Listening to the sound of the gentle waves crashing against the bottom of the lake outside the window, she slept soundly.
