Chapter 073 Selection

Catherine was ready to give them a good lesson when they were about to do it, but before they could do it, Mrs. Princes suddenly came in.

"She's just a ten-year-old girl now." Catherine at first thought that Mrs. Princes was defending herself, but she did not expect her to say what she said next:

"Why are you two fools in such a hurry! Sooner or later, she will be yours, and if you want her now, she will only destroy her body, and when her body grows up, you can play as much as you want, and then it will depend on the luck of the two of you, let her give birth to her own child, and whoever will inherit the family property! I didn't expect my two sons to be so stupid......"

Mrs. Princes begins to scold her two sons for their incompetence, forcing her to choose an outsider to inherit the family.

Mrs. Prince's words were not listened to by Catherine, for she was trying her best to control her body and keep her breathing steady, lest the three people who were still in the room find out that they were actually awake.

When Mrs. Princes and her two sons had finally left, and could not return, Catherine dared to open her eyes and breathe hard, covering her mouth tightly so as not to cry.

It was only then that Catherine realized that as long as Mrs. Princes was around, she was destined to be the plaything of the Princes brothers, the victim of the glorious history of the Princes family.

Catherine was so angry that she just wanted to destroy a qiē, but she didn't dare to vent at all, and even had to completely disguise herself, pretending that a qiē had never happened, because all the power was in the hands of Mrs. Prince, and if she wanted to continue to live, she could only continue to grovel.

When she sees Mrs. Princes at dawn, Catherine finds herself almost out of control, but fortunately her previous training has allowed her to keep the beast in her mind and keep her sanity, and she must deal with it carefully to prevent the last person who suffers from becoming herself.

But what Catherine didn't expect was that the Princes' car suddenly exploded that day, and they died on the spot, and the result of the police investigation turned out to be a complete accident.

The Princes accuse her of murdering their parents, which reminds Catherine of their existence, and she immediately thinks of how she can get revenge on them, which is to take away a piece of Qiē that is rightfully theirs.

"You all know the rest of the story. I fought a year-long battle with the Princes brothers to gain the right to dispose of the Princes family's property, and on the day I won the case, I received an offer of admission to Hogwarts. At first, I thought it was just someone's prank, but when I found out it was true, I immediately decided to auction off a piece of the Princes. ”

"From that moment on—" Catherine exhaled deeply.

"The history of the Princes family is over."

"With such a big family, are you really willing to auction it off?" Ron's question woke the others up, and they all gave him a disdainful look.

"Ron, I can tell you that the auction was less than one-tenth of the total price of all the tangible assets of the Princes family, and the value of those intangible assets is incalculable. But," said Catherine, shaking her head, "these things only remind me of those unbearable ten years." ”

"Catherine," Harry hesitated for a long time before asking, "have you ever killed anyone?" ”

"Yes." Catherine looked at the pair of turquoise eyes and said calmly, "In that competitive environment, you don't kill people, you just wait to be killed, there is no right and wrong, there is no right and wrong, there is no good and evil, just to survive." I'll tell you the truth, from the day I stepped foot in Butterford Manor, I started designing those girls. ”

Catherine's answer shocked the rest of the room, and it took a long time for Hermione to speak, "Did you become so strange this year, and even designed that Quidditch duel, to test whether we could accept these things?" ”

"Yes, Hermione. What happened last year has shown that the man is still alive, and once he returns, the war in the wizarding world will break out immediately, and everyone will face the test of life and death - many people have given up their persistence in order to survive, and many people have chosen death for their own persistence. ”

"Only then will a person be able to see clearly who he can really trust, who he can rely on, who can protect him. Perhaps," Catherine softened, "the person who has been with you before will be a traitor, but the person who has always been against you will be a savior. ”

The dining room fell silent again, and everyone fell into deep thought, and after a moment, Pansy suddenly asked, "Who do you think will win in that future war?" ”

"Let me ask you a question first, do you want to live an ordinary and boring life in peace, or do you want to worry all day long in pursuit of great interests?" Catherine paused to observe the crowd's expressions.

The answer is obvious, although that person can bring great benefits to people, but not everyone likes to worry about it all day long, and the current days, although ordinary and boring, can allow everyone to live in peace. Therefore, he will definitely lose this war. ”

As soon as Catherine finished speaking, Blaise said, "However, according to the comprehensive ability analysis of both sides, the Order of the Phoenix can't defeat the Death Eaters!" ”

"There's no doubt that the Order of the Phoenix will not be able to defeat the Death Eaters." Catherine raised her hand to stop Ron's objection.

"The Death Eaters were a disciplined and rigorous organization with a clear division of labor, while the Order of the Phoenix was a voluntary, uninhibited, loose gang with well-prepared backing, and the Order of the Phoenix was funded by donations."

"It can be said that if Professor Dumbledore dies, the Order of the Phoenix will be finished, but what if, that person dies? I think the last 12 years are the best proof of this, a fact that even he can't change. ”

"So, as long as the secret of his immortality is figured out, the war will end?" Draco asked, narrowing his eyes.

"No, the war cannot end here, his death only means that the enemy has lost the banner that has gathered together, and those loyal to him will carry on his legacy, and they will lurk and wait for the time to rise again." Catherine looked ahead and said categorically.

"Therefore, the only way to truly end the war, to restore a peaceful life, and to allow our children to grow up carefree is to find all those who are loyal to him and will strive to make his wishes come true."

"It's a very difficult process, because no one can't see through people's hearts, and the Dementor can also resist the Occlumency of the Brain, so—" Catherine paused, looked around, and said with great firmness, "we must first learn to protect ourselves, and learn how to survive this inevitable war!" ”

"You mean Defence Against the Dark Arts?" Bress asked.

"More than that." Catherine shook her hand, "Not only Defence Against the Dark Arts, but potions, herbs, spells, shapeshifts...... Learn everything you can use, because you can't predict what danger you will encounter, so learn one more skill, and you will have a better chance of surviving. ”

"Are you here to teach us? Catherine. Hermione asked expectantly, "I still remember the duel between you and Snape. ”

"Of course I'd love to do it if you all wanted to." Catherine replied with a smile

The duel training at Christmas was just a foreshadowing after she discussed it with Snape, after all, the fate of Ron and Hermione had long been tied to Harry, and the actions of De Laco, Blaise and Pansy last year had made it impossible for them to stay out of it anymore.

"I wish it was you!" Draco said, and the others nodded their heads as well.

"In that case, we'll have to find a new place, not in the Room of Requirement or here, after all, you have both Gryffindor and Slytherin." Catherine said.

That's when they remembered the question, or rather, that they were with someone from their rival academy.

Seeing that the six of them, especially Draco and Harry and Ron, began to be hostile to each other again, Catherine said, "Of course you don't want anyone else to know about it, so you have to make sure that only we know about that place, and preferably only we can enter." ”

The six of them immediately began to think, and it was Pansy who thought first, "Catherine, what do you say about the Chamber of Secrets?" It can only be opened in a parseltongue, and you and Potter just need to teach us how to open the door. ”

"But the entrance to the secret room is in Myrtle's bathroom, and it has to go through a dirty, long pipe." Ron frowned in disagreement.

"There's more than one entrance to a chamber, and there's more than one chamber in Slytherin." Catherine stood up suddenly, "Now, it's time for you to leave. She used snake language to open a passage to the Gryffindor common room.

"Catherine, why can't I open the passage in snake language as freely as you do?" Harry asked, puzzled.

"Because I'm a real Slytherin, and you're a Gryffindor." Catherine smiled.

The three Gryffindors were confused, but the three Slytherins were thoughtful.

After the three of Harry left, the Slytherins had to be separated, as Derako and Catherine had to go to Snape for extra lessons.

When it was Catherine's turn to practice using Occlumency to trick the Dementors, she deliberately showed her memories of the second half of her conversation with Salazar, and Snape's face went black on the spot, and he immediately stopped the lesson and immediately drove De Laco away.

"What do you call you're dead!" Snape roared as soon as he closed the door.

"Haven't you seen it all?" Catherine sat on the couch wearily and closed her eyes, the experience of the day had almost drained her mind, and Ixissi had just made it clear that they needed to talk about it when she returned.

"Are you sure he's not an alarmist!" Snape pulled over a chair and sat down in front of her.

"I've verified!" Catherine's body couldn't help but tremble, "What he said is true! ”

"You're actually ...... privately," Snape wanted to scold, but Catherine's violent trembling appearance made him unable to scold, "Why don't you discuss it with me first?" He reached out and took the girl into his arms and asked helplessly.

"I'm used to the feeling of death's scythe hanging over my head." Catherine held his hand tightly, "Not to mention that it hasn't really fallen yet." She smiled slowly.
