Chapter 031 The Isolated Academy

But instead of going out, Catherine withdrew her hand, and the others couldn't help but look at her in surprise, but heard her smile and say, "Slytherin is an isolated house, so it must be more united." ”

The unfriendliness in the eyes of the other freshmen began to fade.

"It looks like we can't go to see the 'Chief Competition.'" Millicent sighed.

"Maybe." Draco smiled and held out his hand, the magic barrier not stopping him either.

"When did you become the sixth order?" Pansy asked in surprise.

"I don't know, I found it out of nowhere last night." Draco shrugged helplessly, drawing the eyes of everyone.

"How do you break this magical barrier?"

"You only need to shoot these seven small magic circles from the outside with a termination spell in two seconds," Theodore pointed out their location, "It usually takes the cooperation of a seventh-order wizard or two or three sixth-order wizards, what is your casting speed?" ”

"It's no problem to hit three in two seconds." Catherine took out her wand, "Four haven't tried. ”

"I don't have time to test it." Draco said apologetically.

"You can do it!" Pansy's tone was firm.

"That's the problem," Theodore frowned, "Catherine has already used two spells just now, and I don't know if your magic is enough?" ”

"I trust my luck." Catherine smiled and walked out of the barrier of magic first, the others looked at Draco, but the platinum boy shrugged and walked out.

"Conjure the Shapeshift!" Once she and Draco were in their positions, Catherine said to her pet in her heart.

The little blue bird flew up from her shoulder, instantly became larger, and it spread its huge green wings and flapped it gently at the two children.

"You're left, I'm right! Get ready! The sudden breeze behind him made Draco suddenly feel confident, "Go!" ”

"Stop! Stop! Stop! The two first-year students shouted loudly, and spells came out of the tips of their rods one after another, and six of the seven small magic arrays were locked up by the two in the blink of an eye, but their faces also turned pale, and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

"Stop!" Catherine and Draco shouted at the same time as they pointed to the last magic circle above the entrance, and two spells struck them at the same time.

The invisible barrier of magic began to flicker with white light, and finally disappeared with a "snort".

Blaise hesitantly stretched out his hand to test it, and sure enough, there was nothing in the way, Pansy cheered, and immediately ran to Draco's side, helping him to whisper something excitedly.

"You're in luck!" Daphne walked up to Catherine and took her left hand.

Catherine looked at Daphne in surprise before smiling and saying, "Yes, good luck." As she spoke, she stole a glance over her shoulder, and Tracey, who had changed back to her original form, was already a little tired.

"Let's go, Senior Ixesi is greeting us." Theodore said that the others looked over and saw the blue-haired prefect waving at them with a smile on his face, and the people who had been surrounding him were all out of the way, and the first-year students hurriedly walked over.

"Well done!" Ixesy praised.

Catherine lowered her head as if embarrassed, and Draco looked at them with a look of great pride.

"It's the seventh grade that's competing right now." Ixasi's words made the freshmen immediately look at the center of the crowd, but unfortunately the competition was clearly over, "It seems that the leader of the seventh grade this year is still Durak Stoko, who has been re-elected for six years. ”

The first-graders looked at the tall boy who had the winning boy, he had long yellow hair and a gloomy face, and he was extremely heavy, and none of the other seventh-graders were not injured. He looked a little displeased when he spotted the freshmen around him, and his expression became very ugly when he saw Catherine standing beside Draco.

"Have you offended him?" Draco, who had noticed the anomaly, leaned into her ear and asked.

"I've never seen him before." Catherine whispered helplessly.

Draco gives her a skeptical look, and Catherine wants to defend herself, but Ixissi has already announced that the sixth-year "Chief Competition" has begun.

The sixth-grade competition ended quickly, Kensaut Tibet, who was the female prefect, became the chief, and the fifth-year chief, Catherine, originally thought it was Ixacey, but he didn't participate, so the final winner was a girl named Ross North Carolina, and the fourth-grade leader was a boy named Biss Demeter, and as soon as the third-year competition began, Ixesy told them to go back to the dormitory first.

"Why can't you finish reading it?" Draco asked, "Aren't there only two games left?" ”

"It's not impossible," said Ixissi, smiling, "as long as you can promise that you won't be late for class tomorrow morning." ”

Draco seemed to think of something, and no longer asked to stay, seeing that the other freshmen also obediently followed him out of the common room, and when they reached the dormitory, Catherine finally understood why Ixissi had let them come back first.

Behind the door with the "first grade" sign is a downward staircase, at the end of it is a door, behind the door is a round room, but it is much larger than the one just now, there are two other doors in the room, one hangs "boys", one hangs "girls", and behind these two doors is actually a round room, fortunately, the doors that appear in these two round rooms are hung with the names of first-year students, obviously inside will be their dormitory for this year.

Walking to the door with her full name on it, the girl stared at the family name with displeasure, as if sensing her affection, and it suddenly disappeared, leaving only "Catherine" at last.

"It's a magic school!" Catherine opened the door in a happy mood, but the situation behind it made her wonder if she was in the wrong place.

It was a very spacious and empty room, with six damp-looking stone walls, above and below, and a brazier hung from four serpentine chains, which emitted a faint white light that illuminated the few things in the room: a very clean fireplace, a stone table that seemed to have been cut straight down, a silver-green wooden locker, a wooden four-poster bed, and a silver-green sheet spread over it, and then—gone. Oh no, there's also a very spacious and very simple bathroom, and when the shower head is unscrewed, Catherine is glad that the water that comes out of it is warm.

Seeing such a simple dormitory, Catherine suddenly realized that the two round rooms outside might be living rooms, the one inside should belong to the girls, and the one outside should belong to the entire first year, but because they were empty, no one thought of their actual use in the first place.

The "simple" nature of the dormitory surprised everyone, so the freshmen returned to the big living room. After the exchange, I found out that the situation on the boys' side was worse than that of the girls, and they didn't even have hot water.

"I now understand why the second rule of the Slytherin precept says: If you want to be noble before men, you will be guilty of sin!" Daphne shuddered and said that although it was only September, the weather in Britain was really not suitable for a cold shower.

"I've heard that I used to be able to get my own house-elves to come and help, but since Professor Snape became dean......" Theodore didn't continue, and everyone else looked at Draco.

"Don't look at me," Draco grumbled disnoughtly, "My godfather said that as long as you have the ability, even if you bring everything you can bring, he won't care, but if you can't do it, then don't expect to enjoy it here." ”

Hearing this, Catherine's face turned strange, she did bring everything she could bring, but it was with the help of Tracey, but Snape did not seem to object to it.

"Didn't you bring enough stuff?" Blaise discovers her anomaly and asks deliberately.

"No," said Catherine, smiling brightly, "I brought too much. ”

"What?" There was an exclamation, and the other first-graders all showed shocked expressions.

"I don't believe it!" Pansy shouted, and she grabbed Catherine's arm and ran, the others following suit.

As soon as she entered Catherine's dormitory, Pansy glanced at the suitcase and saw it, and she immediately ran over it, threw it on the bed, and motioned for Catherine to open it.

Catherine glanced at the others, and saw that they all nodded vigorously, before she "helplessly" opened. The suitcases were neatly lined with boxes of square size, each containing a shrunken piece of luggage.

"You don't really fit everything into this suitcase!" Looking at the familiar "models" in the box, Draco asked.

"Uh-huh!" Catherine smiled, "To be honest, I did get them all in by force, but—" The displeasure of the other freshmen was held back for the time being, "Professor Snape watched while I cleaned them up, and I don't know why he didn't object. ”

The freshmen were dumbfounded, and finally Daphne asked cautiously.

"Catherine, you can't be Professor Snape's illegitimate daughter, are you?"

"Draco asked a similar question." Catherine quickly diverted everyone's attention.

"I didn't—I was—" Draco tried to explain, but was interrupted by Pansy.

"Is it or isn't?" Pansy rarely yelled at the object of her affection.

"My father said," Draco squirmed for a long time before he spoke, "the godfather's private life—very ......clean," his voice almost in his mouth.

"So what the hell is going on?" Brace asked.

Catherine smiled and shrugged, Draco shook his head helplessly, and the freshmen returned to their dorms in confusion.

In the early morning of September 2nd, the sun had not yet risen, and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was still shrouded in a thick fog.

Suddenly, the oak door of the castle was slowly opened, and a head with long burgundy hair came out, and she looked around and walked out, and when she had struggled to close the oak door, she looked left and right, and the long ponytail dangled with her movements, and finally she decided to start jogging along the west wall of the castle.
