Chapter 064: Tracy's Abilities

Catherine stared at the big crimson bird that had not yet left, and then slowly looked back over her shoulder, where Tracey was standing and staring at the uninvited guest.

"Morph back!" Catherine thought.

Tracey transformed into a phantom and flew to the back of the armchair opposite the big crimson bird, raising her tail in the same haughty manner that reminded Catherine of Madame Apet's words.

“…… Exactly like the bluebird's illusion, the animal with opposite colors is the ,...... of zài"

The same bird as Tracey was supposed to be Dumbledore's pet Fawkes, and Catherine had heard the senior say that Fawkes was a rare phoenix, and she immediately remembered Lady Apet's next words.

“…… It's definitely a rare animal, but you're sure to come across it,......"

Thinking of the many times she and Dumbledore had met, Catherine couldn't help but shudder, could it be that Lady Apet's words were true!

“…… Its owner is your worst enemy. ”

Whether Dumbledore is her worst enemy or not, this is not something Catherine can think about now, because she has no strength to fight against it now, so there is no need to worry about it at all, and the most important thing she should do at the moment is to reposition the Malfoy family.

"What are you thinking?" The one who asked was the stone sculpture of the giant serpent on the door of Snap's room.

"Am I thinking Mr. Malfoy or is he not a Death Eater?" Catherine glanced at it and replied casually that she did need some opinion now.

"I don't know if he's a Death Eater or not, but I know—" said the stone serpent on Snape's bedroom door, shaking his head, "He's always been a Slytherin, a real Slytherin. ”

"What do you mean?" Catherine asked, puzzled.

"First of all, you have to understand that the Slytherin in Enric's words is not referring to the students of Slytherin House," said the serpent on the door of the Slytherin room, "but the members of the Slytherin family. ”

"Isn't it a Slytherin offspring," Catherine stared at it in disbelief, "to be a member of House Slytherin." ”

"What Ann Liwen said is true, and this is one of Salazar's purposes for establishing Slytherin House," said the serpent stone sculpture named Enric, "because being a real Slytherin is too harsh!" ”

"What's the harsh method?"

"First of all, you have to pass three levels of strength," the giant snake stone sculpture named An Liwen began to explain, "the first must reach the sixth order before the age of 12, the second must reach the seventh order before the age of 16, and the third must obtain the snake ring." ”

"Isn't that the only prefect left to be eligible for inheritance?"

"Those prefects are just up to par," Enric said, wagging his tail, "and the standard of conduct—not to violate all Slytherin precepts—to violate any of them, and to be disqualified." ”

"That's 1,645!" Catherine exclaimed, "Is there anyone else but the professor who can not disobey?" ”

"Of course!" An Liwen spat out the snake letter.

Catherine blinked and spat out a salutation in disbelief: "Mr. Malfoy? ”

"Yes, but Severus isn't a real Slytherin yet," Enric shook his head, "and he's not done the last step yet." ”

"What's the last step?"

"Become a Patriarch!"

"May I ask," Catherine twitched with difficulty, "how many people in history have become real Slytherins?" ”

"Since the advent of this rule, there have been a total of 913."

"How many years have the rules been around?"

"I don't know, I just know that it appeared before us."

"In this way, they really cherish animals!"

"That's not counted, at least three or four can be seen in each generation."

"What does it mean to cherish it?"

"Of course it's the patriarch!" An Liwen said loudly, "There are only three people so far? ”

"Who are they?"

"The first Slytherin patriarch, the one who established the rules, the second was Salazar Slytherin, and the third was Abrazas Malfoy......"

"Draco's grandfather?" Catherine asked.

"No, it's the Malfoy who turned the hunt into a behemoth."

"Phew!" Catherine gasped, "So how do you become the patriarch of House Slytherin?" ”

"It's easy," Enric blinked, "as long as you inherit the power of House Slytherin, that's—"

A green flame suddenly erupted in the fireplace, and Snape spun out of it, and the two serpent statues immediately crossed over and closed their eyes and pretended to be asleep.

"Hmm!" The first thing Snape noticed when he returned was not Catherine, but the two birds that were still facing each other.

"Why doesn't this sassy bird go back to see its owner who pretends to be crazy and stupid? Or—" Snape suddenly looked at Catherine, "it's your equally sassy pet that has reached the breeding season!" ”

"Professor!" Catherine reluctantly said, "They are not the same species. ”

Both birds expressed their strong disdain for this, and Fox flapped his wings and flew up, shedding a large spark that burned Snape's office into small black holes, and Tracey flapped her wings and flapped a pile of snowflakes that landed on the small black holes very accurately, completely extinguishing the aftermath.

"Are you going to use this as a battlefield?" Snape angrily drew his wand.

Fawkes flapped her wings arrogantly, turned into a red light, and disappeared from the office, while Tracey glanced at him arrogantly, flew to Catherine's shoulder, and went back to sleep.

"Catherine!" Snape took aim at the owner of one of them.

"Professor! I could swear! Catherine said sternly, "I really didn't know it would do this trick." ”

"You are very unqualified as a master!" Snape sneered.

"I'll improve!" Catherine smiled and changed the subject, "What is the principal looking for you?" ”

"What else could be the matter?" Snape's face immediately sank, "14 people dropped out, that's a new record!" ”

"Those 11—" Catherine paused before continuing, "all dead?" ”

“Yes!” Snape looked at Catherine.

"Sure enough!" Catherine turned her head to look at the extinguishing fire, and said calmly, "Hatred can blind both eyes!" ”

"You did it on purpose?" Snape's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I just pity them because I know how painful this situation can be, and I'm sorry they made that choice." Catherine's eyes darkened like a extinguished fire, "But I'm glad about the consequences of this choice, it made me see many things. Her tone became colder than an iceberg.

"Catherine?" Snape called her name.

"What's the matter?" Catherine looked over and a smile turned into a smile.

Snape pursed his lips and stared at her for a moment before saying, "Take care of your birds." ”

"Huh? Be! Catherine replied for no apparent reason, and was driven back to the dormitory by Snape.

The aftermath of the hunt seemed to have passed, and the people in the other houses just lamented that there were so many people dropping out of Slytherin this year, while the remaining students of Slytherin House quietly exchanged their family's gains with their friends, and by the way, re-elected the seventh-year leader.

The three crippled families, and the eleven imprisoned families, were enough to give all the powerful people in the entire wizarding world some benefits, so many of the students received instructions from their families to treat Draco seriously, as all the parties were hiding Catherine's existence.

However, as a person in the know, Ixissi still expressed his gratitude to Catherine, and he personally asked her if she would like to join the hunting society, because Lucius, the acting president of the hunting society, had asked him to take over as branch president, but Catherine politely rejected Ixissi, and she did not want to be the target of public criticism now.

Therefore, Catherine focused her energy on testing Tracy's abilities for the rest of her life, and although she wrote to ask Lady Apet, she did not know anything about Bluebird's abilities other than good luck, so she had to experiment on her own.

The first is about Tracy's zài.

It was indeed visible only to those whom Catherine had permission to see, and that had long been confirmed, for it had been on her shoulder for more than four months, and no one had ever asked about it.

As for Tracey's illusion, it is even more bizarre, it can only be seen by Catherine herself, even those who can see Tracey can't see its illusion clearly, they just notice that it has become larger, which Catherine has experimented with Harry and Hermione.

Second, Tracey does bring good luck, but it's not infinite.

The first is range, only when it stays on the shoulders of a person, that person will have good luck, and the person next to him will not be affected.

The second is power, such as using magic, if you use the wrong gesture or pronounce the wrong spell, then even if Tracey is standing on your shoulder, she will not be able to use the correct magic.

However, the above two points were quickly overturned.

In the first Potions class after the start of the school year, Tracey suddenly changed into a transfiguration, and the entire Potions classroom suddenly became chaotic, everyone panicked, either misplaced the materials or made the wrong steps, but everyone in the class made the correct potion.

Snape found the source in the first moment of confusion - the transformed Tracey, glared at it fiercely, and then asked everyone to write down the day's operation and why they did it.

Apparently, Tracey was very vindictive, so she flapped her wings lightly, and everyone immediately remembered something, and they all found a quill brush to write it down, including Neville, who had a terrible memory.

However, with such a powerful and widespread good fortune, Tracey could only last an hour, after which it had to sleep for a whole week, and its owner, Catherine, was also in the hospital for a whole week because of a small cold.

And all those who were affected in that hour were also haunted by bad luck in a week, especially the three people who sat around Catherine, probably because they were most affected in that hour, so they seemed particularly unlucky.

Draco spent all of his free time throughout the week, except for eating and sleeping, in Snapona confinement; Neville ran into Snape wherever he walked throughout the week, and Gryffindor was deducted a ton of points for it; Harry was fine, only to hear that Snape would be refereeing the next Quidditch match, but it was tantamount to the end for him.
