Chapter 030 Strength Represents One Qiē

"What the hell is this?" Catherine didn't understand why she was secretly attacking herself as this person, whether it was deliberately to attract her attention, or if the sharp pain just now was not caused by him.

"Someone looks like you're calling you over there?" Barrow spoke suddenly.

Catherine looked over and saw Harry waving at the Gryffindor table.

Seeing that the girl was finally willing to look at him, Harry couldn't help but show a sad expression, and Catherine couldn't help but smile happily at him.

"Ahem!" Catherine suddenly remembered a cough behind her, and she turned her head to find Draco with an unhappy face.

"What's wrong?" Catherine was puzzled.

"Didn't you choose Slytherin?" Draco asked unpleasantly.

Catherine blinked before smiling and said, "Aren't Slytherin and Gryffindor good friends?" ”

"When did Slytherin and Gryffindor become good friends!" Draco was tempted to yell at her, but the dessert on the long table suddenly disappeared, Dumbledore stood up again, and the Great Hall returned to silence, leaving Catherine with an angry look, and the girl giving him an equally happy smile, and the eyes of those around them who saw their interaction became very strange.

"Oh, now that everyone is full and drunk, I want to say a few more words to everyone. At the beginning of the semester, I would like to make a few points to note with you. ”

"First-year students are aware that the woods on campus are off-limits to students. Some of our old classmates should also remember this. ”

Dumbledore's glittering gaze swept toward the Weasley twins.

"Also, Mr. Filch, the administrator, wants me to remind everyone not to do magic in the hallways between classes." Filch and Mrs. Loris's four bulb eyes appear to turn into searchlights.

"The Quidditch player review will take place in the second week of the term. If you are interested in joining the college team, please contact Mrs. Huo Qi. Lady Rolanda Hodge nodded to the freshmen.

"Finally, I must tell everyone that anyone who does not want to suffer an accident or a painful and tragic death should not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor."

A few people laughed, and Harry was one of them.

"Sure enough, it's not a brainless Gryffindor." Draco arrogantly expressed his contempt.

"Now, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!" Dumbledore exclaimed, and the smiles of the other professors seemed to freeze.

Dumbledore flicked his wand, and a long ribbon of gold flew out of it, twisting like a snake over the high dining table.

Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts,

Teach us knowledge,

Whether we are old people

Or a child who falls on his knee,

Our minds can accept something interesting.

Because now our minds are empty,

Filled with air, dead flies and trivialities,

Teach us something valuable,

Give us back to us what we have forgotten,

As long as you do your best,

Leave the rest to ourselves,

We will study hard until we turn into dung.

"Each person chooses their favorite tune." Dumbledore said, "Ready, sing!" ”

Immediately there was a chaotic sound in the auditorium, some singing high, some singing low, some singing fast, some singing slowly, each with a different melody, and Catherine felt as if she were blowing a typhoon of twelve degrees.

Catherine discovered for the first time that hearing too well was sometimes a sin, and that she could distinguish all voices clearly, but when mixed together, it was so bad to hear that she wanted to raise her hand and cover her ears, but it was rude to do so.

Thankfully, very few people could endure the situation, and most of them whispered the entire lyrics quickly, leaving only the Weasley twins to sing to the slow melody of the Funeral March. Dumbledore conducted the last few bars for both of them, and when they finished singing, he applauded the loudest.

"Music, it's more glamorous than anything we've done here!" Dumbledore rubbed his eyes, which convinced Catherine for the first time that Draco's father was right.

"It's bedtime time. Let's go back to the dormitory. ”

"First-year freshman, come with us." Ikossisi shouted to his feet, and Kensault followed suit. The new Slytherin students followed them through the noisy crowd and out of the auditorium and into a hallway.

Iconosi led them straight to the wall, through a door hidden behind a sliding baffle, much to Catherine's surprise, and even more surprised by the fact that the portraits in the hallways were whispering, pointing, and even walking into the other portraits, worthy of a school of magic. They descended the stairs, through another hallway, and finally stopped beside an empty, wet stone wall.

Ikossi shouted the order, and a stone door hidden in the stone wall slowly opened, and they saw the Slytherin common room, a long, narrow, low basement.

The floor was covered with a large carpet with silver stripes painted with the Serpent Emblem of Slytherin House, and the walls and ceiling were carved with murals telling the story of the founding of Slytherin House, and green serpentine sculptures roamed around the ceiling and walls, opening their mouths to spit out a soft white light.

The entrance to the common room is directly opposite the entrance to the dormitory, and between the two is a dark green crystal-studded gate made of mythril, with ebony round tables and chairs scattered across the door.

But Catherine found that the round table in front of the fireplace and the twelve long chairs that surrounded it appeared to be made of rosewood.

"The Twelve Round Table Samurai?" Catherine raised her eyebrows slightly, focusing on the man in black standing next to the fireplace, while the other first-year students were still curiously gazing at the extravagant décor of the Slytherin common room.

"It seems that Hogwarts has a professor's shortcut, otherwise how could someone who left the Great Hall later than them appear here before them?" That was the first thought that crossed Catherine's mind before she focused her energy on Snape himself.

At this time, Snape gave Catherine a very strange and very appropriate sense of peace.

Although Catherine hadn't spent much time with him lately, she never thought that the adjective "peaceful" would appear in Snape, but when he didn't exude that repulsive momentum, she suddenly realized that Snape was really young, which made her open her mouth in slight surprise.

"Now that you're standing here." Snape uttered a very soft, low, magnetic voice, but froze the first-year student who had turned to look at him in fright.

"Then I have to say, welcome." Snape stepped out of the shadows by the fireplace and walked down the aisle between the round table and the chairs, the black robes tumbling and waving, successfully making the freshmen collectively shiver slightly.

No, except for two, one has basically adjusted to his momentum, while the other doesn't seem to feel anything about it, just a smile on his face that turns into a smile.

"Whether you choose to be here or chosen to be here, from now on, you must remember the only rule of Slytherin."

Snape stopped in front of the new students, causing them to collectively take a step back, this time even his godson could not completely remain calm, except for the girl who had been looking at him with a smile on her face all this time, still staying where she was.

"In Slytherin, strength stands for a qiē."

The freshmen were stunned for a moment, and they all turned their heads to look at the others, and the old students standing behind them all noticed that two of them were still looking at their dean with respect.

"I don't ask you to contribute anything to Slytherin," Snape's voice silenced the common room again, "but I ask you to think about whether you can afford all the consequences of this before doing anything that would tarnish Slytherin's glory." ”

There was silence, and most of the Slytherin freshmen and veterans all bowed their heads, not daring to look at Snape, but Snape was satisfied to see that with the exception of Exace and the six year heads, his godson and the girl he had been following lately were still holding their heads up, only the latter was more confident than the former.

"Humph!" This made Snape snort in displeasure, and turned around and rolled away in his black robes, leaving a group of frightened Slytherins behind.

"First-year freshman come with me!" Kenshart shouted, and walked straight to the entrance of the dormitory, and the freshmen hurried to follow.

Behind the entrance to the dormitory was a staircase down, at the end of the staircase was a circular room with eight doors, except for the one they had just entered, the other seven doors had the number of seven grades hung on them, the middle was the seventh grade, and the remaining six grades were lined up on either side of it in order, and the first grade was just to the left of the entrance.

"Go in by yourself!" Kenshott said a word and went straight back to the common room.

Catherine raised an eyebrow at her actions and prepared to enter the first-year dormitory, only to find everyone else walking towards the common room, and she followed in confusion.

"Slytherin House has a 'Chief Competition' on the first night of school!" Daphne kindly explained to her, "Although the first grade can't participate, you can watch it. ”

As they climbed the stairs, Catherine saw that the tables and chairs in the common room had been moved to the wall, and the rest of the year was forming in a circle, their heads glowing with spells from time to time.

"Is there any requirement for watching?" Catherine did not immediately run into the common room, but asked cautiously.

"That's right, you have to get through the magic barrier." Brace, who was closest to the entrance to the dormitory, raised his hand and patted it, starting from the center of his palm, a circle of white ripples rippled until the edge of the dormitory entrance, and then became transparent again.

"How do you get to guò?" Catherine asked.

"As long as your strength reaches the sixth order."

Thinking of Ollivanders' words, Catherine tried to reach out her hand, and sure enough, the invisible magic barrier did not stop her, and her hand stretched out.
