Chapter 044 Second Year Changes

The history of magic class has not changed much, Professor Binns's lectures still maintain a hypnotic style, adhering to the principle of respecting teachers and valuing teaching, Catherine did not skip class, but just added a "closed eyes and ears" to herself, and then sorted out the inheritance materials, they are too much.

As for the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, it had become Lockhart's personal lecture, and since the moniker of "Embroidery-Professor" spread, students with a bit of brains had not bothered to listen to his boasts, and only a few girls were still obsessed with him, and Hermione was unfortunately one of them.

Lockhart wanted to embarrass Catherine, but after learning that she was the future Slytherin prefect and had experienced the violence of girls firsthand, he suddenly stopped and completely dismissed her as if she did not exist.

It's just bad luck for Harry, Lockhart seems to want to regain his superiority from him, every time he sees him, he will always pull him to talk non-stop, and in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, Harry is the chief assistant to the "drama".

Astronomy class became Catherine's eager-awaited class, as it meant that she didn't have to go with Ixissi to the first Slytherin party of the night, she just had to show her face after class.

Since the basic purpose of these gatherings is to train students to cope with the future, they are all very formal, and no one dares to wear school gowns to avoid being rude. Originally, Catherine wanted to use the pile of clothes sent by the Malfoys to exert her residual heat, but Snape actually helped her customize a pile of clothes.

"Wealth is also a form of strength." That's the reason Snape gave.

Catherine didn't refuse his kindness again, even if she had never liked black clothes, but it was indeed very suitable for her current situation, because the future prefectural status of Slytherin made her jump from one extreme to the other, originally rejected by the whole, but now she was feared by the whole.

Those who originally rejected her, although they didn't dare to target her anymore, they didn't have the idea of getting close to her. So every time the others were chatting passionately, Catherine could only stay alone in the corner.

The second-year classmates would make small talk with her, but in order not to interfere with their communication, Catherine always kicked them away without saying a few words, except for Draco, on the one hand, the status of the Malfoy family made him need to remain reserved, and on the other hand, he only came to work as a nanny most of the time, and naturally liked to stay around familiar people when he had nothing to do.

In addition, Hogwarts has added a strange man this year - Colin Creevey, the young boy who immediately honored Catherine as Harry's second idol after Harry after selling photos of Quidditch duels for a small profit, and followed them both all day long. This was very embarrassing for Harry, as Colin seemed to memorize his class schedule and was always by his side every time he went to and from class to greet him.

Catherine had survived because she had caused Creevey's camera to be taken away, making him think that the senior sister was difficult to deal with, but when the red-haired girl heard that Snape had burned the confiscated camera, she couldn't bear to pay him a new one, making Creevey think that she was just cold-hearted, so she ended up in the same fate as Harry.

Catherine tried to distract him, but Creevey showed her the resilience of Gryffindor, and she had to give up on her ineffective actions.

Colin's tenacity, boring meetings, and tedious paperwork made Catherine mentally sluggish, so when the wet cold suddenly came, she unfortunately caught a severe cold, just like the other frail faculty and students.

Although the pick-me-up had an immediate effect on most people, Snape had poured several bottles of the pick-me-up, and after nearly ten hours of smoke in both ears, Catherine was still in good spirits, and it was Dobby's careful care that allowed her to regain her spirits.

The only good thing is that Flint, who had always wanted her to be the goalkeeper, finally gave up on Catherine, because he couldn't see her hope of recovering before the first game, and could only concentrate on Draco, hoping that he would be more qualified than Harry for his role.

Wood, on the other hand, had an unfailing passion for Quidditch, and would never give up training, even on stormy days, and on her way back to Snape's office after borrowing a book from the library, she often saw Gryffindor players soaking wet and covered in mud.

Catherine didn't understand why they hadn't cleaned themselves up, as Slytherin had used magic to clean up their appearances as soon as they returned to the castle, while Gryffindor preferred to drag his wet clothes halfway through the castle and stain most of the corridors, much to Filch's chagrin.

Seeing this, Catherine would always take the initiative to clean up the muddy water she saw, after all, she was a girl who loved cleanliness, but she didn't expect that one day it would be cleaned up on her brother, because since that Quidditch duel, they have not been able to stay alone together due to various coincidences.

"Harry!" As soon as she saw his sloppy appearance, Catherine threw a dozen cleaning charms directly at him, "Don't you ever find this uncomfortable! "She doesn't bother to pay attention to others, how can her brother not teach her a good lesson!

"No, of course not! I gotta say it sucks! Harry looked happily at the clean clothes on his body, "What did you just use?" ”

"Clean-type magic!" Catherine rolled her eyes, "Don't you Gryffindor team even have one?" ”

"That-" Harry stroked his hair and giggled before thinking of a way to change the subject, "By the way, Nick invited me to his death party just now, and he asked me to invite Hermione and Ron, do you want to go along?" ”

"When!" Catherine asked through gritted teeth, once again angry at Harry's lack of common sense.

"Halloween Eve!" Harry replied a little nervously, he didn't understand why he had his sister again.

"Not available!" That night was the last party Catherine had to attend, and the only party she really wanted to attend in two months.

"Why?" Harry automatically made excuses for her, "Oh, I see, you don't want to go to the ghost party. ”

"Only a person with a lack of common sense like you would want to go to a party like this!" Catherine walked around Harry and cleaned the stain from his back.

"No," Harry explained, "because Nick just helped me, and I was caught by Filch when the muddy water on my clothes stained the floor—"

"Well deserved!" Catherine scolded angrily, so frightened that Harry almost didn't dare continue.

"—As he prepares to punish me, Nick convinces Peeves to smash a vanishing cabinet on top of Filch's office, and—" Harry was frightened by Catherine's sudden turn of head and fierce stares at her.

"Vanishing cabinet, you say?" Catherine asked, and when Harry nodded, she walked briskly to the empty classroom above Filch's office, where she saw a black and gold cabinet shattered to the floor, apparently falling from a great height.

"No wonder he let you go!" Catherine sighed as she walked around the broken vanishing cabinet.

"Not really!" Harry shook his head hurriedly, "Filch did get his attention, but the real reason was because I was when he left the office-" He looked around for a moment and whispered into Catherine's ear, "I saw that he was going to learn to quickly chant spells." ”

"It's not a secret at Hogwarts, it's just that Filch doesn't want to make it known." Catherine got up and walked out of the classroom, "You just need to remember not to use the ostracism of others on people who are weaker than you. ”

"Yes!" Harry's face flushed as he realized the mistake he had made.

"Also, write a paper on 'The Difference Between the Living and the Dead' and give it to me in a week!"

"Ahh Catherine, I'm running out of time for my homework! Harry protested loudly.

"If you don't write, I'll give you a general knowledge lesson myself!" Catherine said without looking back, "Besides, the 30th is Mrs. Weasley's birthday, you know what to do." ”

"Mrs. Weasley's birthday?" Harry's body stopped abruptly before he finished shaking, and he immediately saw that it was a good excuse to apologize for his wrong behavior at the beginning of the school year, "What should I give?" He hurriedly asked, but when he looked up, he found that Catherine's back had long disappeared at the end of the corridor, and he was stunned for a moment, and simply turned and ran to the Gryffindor common room to find two other friends for help.

"Mr. Filch, are you there?" Catherine did not immediately go back to the dormitory, but stopped by to Filch's office first.

"Catherine—come in!" Filch's somewhat decadent voice came from the door, and the girl pushed the door open and walked in, seeing him leaning back in his chair, helplessly looking at a bulging purple envelope in his hand.

"I just ran into Harry!" Catherine closed the door and said, "He already knew he was wrong." ”

"It's just one more person who despises me—" Filch's bulging eyes lost their former vitality, and his red nose made him look even more lifeless, "I'm used to being isolated. That's the real reason why he treats Catherine differently.

"Every life has a purpose—" comforted Catherine, "Hogwarts would have been a garbage heap without you." ”

"Hehe-" Filch let out a hoarse laugh as ugly as a fish slapping the ground in a dying battle, "I want to see this place turn into a garbage heap!" ”

"Anyway, you're sick, just take a break." Catherine handed him a business card.

"SSB Consulting - Whatever questions you have, you will get the most satisfactory answers!" Filch read the message on the business card in surprise, "It's too loud!" ”

"At least Mrs.B hasn't let me down so far." Catherine handed him another silver card, "You just need to show this card first, you don't need to make an appointment." ”

Filch took it in confusion and found that there was only one floral letter on the card, "C".

"I'll think about it." Filch tucked the two cards into a drawer along with the purple envelope, "You go back first." ”

Catherine smiled and turned to walk to the door.
