Chapter 068 Cultivation Plan

"As an underage wizard," Snape finally spoke, after a long time, "you should focus more on your studies!" ”

"Rest assured," Snape's words made Catherine smile wryly, "I will not be like the Lion of Gryffindor trying to solve problems that I can't solve. ”

"Very well," Snape snorted coldly, "from today until the end of the semester, the eight o'clock evening confinement, here. ”

"I'll be on time. I'll take my leave, Professor. Knowing what Snape meant, Catherine automatically ended their conversation and left his office.

But as soon as the office door closed, Snape suddenly clenched his fist and slammed it hard, and the armrest of the sofa suddenly turned into a pile of rags.

"Draco, have you forgotten what I told you before the semester started?" As soon as he returned to Malfoy Manor, Lucius asked his son, "I told you not to get involved with Harry Potter, have you forgotten?" ”

"No, I didn't forget, father, it's just," Draco grimaced with a flattering expression, "What a rare opportunity to see it born?" ”

Although Lucius agreed with Draco's words, as a father, he still had to teach him a straight face: "Can't you just stand the temptation? His voice was visibly angry.

"What the hell is going on? Father! Draco asked anxiously.

"Your godfather said," Lucius pondered for a moment before speaking, "Dumbledore suspects that someone has infiltrated Hogwarts to steal. ”

"Quirrell!" Draco immediately called out the suspect's name, and when he saw his father's puzzled look, he hurriedly explained Quirrell's strange appearance in the first Quidditch match.

"So it looks like Quirrell is indeed a suspect, but your godfather can't find any solid evidence."

"Father," Draco hesitated for a moment before asking, "which side of the godfather is on?" ”

"That side!" Lucius sneered, "It's not on his side, there's only one person he really cares about!" ”

"Catherine?"

"Now, it's really her." Lucius pouted, "Anyway, you've been careful lately, don't approach the savior again." ”

"Understood, Father!" Draco answered, a tired expression immediately appearing on his suddenly relaxed face.

"Now go to sleep."

Draco quickly got up and went to his room, only to hear his father's voice behind him.

"Remember to copy the house rules ten times!"

This sentence made him almost fall to the ground, he had just finished copying the 200 times he was punished before, and now he has 10 more times, and with his current situation, I am afraid that he will not know if he can copy it until the end of the final exam.

In the evening, when Draco hurried back to Hogwarts, he found that the person sitting behind Snape's desk was Catherine, who was using a quill stained with red ink to quickly draw something on a pile of parchment and sort them, while Snape was sitting on the couch with his eyes closed.

"Godfather, I'm back." Draco spoke softly.

Snape snapped his eyes open and stared at Draco for a few seconds before turning his head to look at the clock, "Eight o'clock, you're so punctual!" Draco! ”

Draco swallowed his saliva secretly, not knowing what to say, but luckily Catherine spoke.

"Professor, I've got it." Catherine straightened out the parchment and got up and walked behind her desk.

"There are so many people who deserve 'T' for the homework they handed in today!" Snape asked, glancing at the stacks of parchment.

"Yes," said Catherine chuckled, "even it seems to me that they write incomprehensibly. ”

"Humph!" Snape snorted coldly, not knowing whether it was against those who deserved a "T", or at the two in front of him who had already made a mistake.

So Draco obediently kept his head down, while Catherine looked at Snape with a smile still on her face.

"That's your mission for today," Snape pulled a piece of parchment out of his pocket, "and you're done, and you can go back." With that, he walked back to his desk and began to correct his homework.

"Looks like we're going to have to work together." After looking at the potion that Snape wanted them to complete, Catherine whispered, "Otherwise, we won't want to sleep tonight." ”

"Then let's cooperate." Draco replied softly, too.

"Catherine!" When they were finally able to leave Snape's office, Draco suddenly looked tired and asked mysteriously, "Hagrid has something to do with the three-headed dog on the fourth floor, right?" ”

"Why do you think that?" Catherine paused to look at Draco, guessing if he had received any news from his father.

"Do you think there is anyone else at Hogwarts who would raise that kind of thing, besides him," Draco immediately gave him a disdainful look, "who else at Hogwarts would raise that kind of thing?" ”

"Didn't you guess it all?" Catherine rolled her eyes and continued towards the common room.

"Didn't I guess what's behind that three-headed dog?" Draco said next to Catherine.

"I don't know."

"No, it won't!" Draco exclaimed, "Don't you hang out with Potter and them all the time?" ”

"Do you think I can get any news from Ron Weasley's deposits?" Catherine gave him a disdainful look and quickened her pace.

"That's right!" Draco followed Catherine for a moment of silence before re-speaking, "Do you know where Dumbledore hid something?" ”

Catherine, who had just opened the entrance to the common room, suddenly stopped and turned to stare at Draco.

"Do you really want to know?" Her tone was very calm, neither seductive nor intimidating.

"Of course!" Draco immediately stepped in front of her.

Catherine pondered for a moment before she reached his ear and whispered the answer.

"What!" As soon as he heard the answer, Draco exclaimed, "That three-headed dog is—" and he couldn't say anything because Catherine had covered his mouth.

"Are you afraid that others won't hear you?" Catherine whispered to him before letting go.

Draco shook his head and said he wouldn't speak again, but Ixissi's voice suddenly rang out in the common room.

"I thought—" Ixassi looked at them from the chair they had sat in last night, "you won't find out until next year that the rules of school are meant to be broken. ”

"Ixissi-senpai!" Draco looked at him in surprise.

"You're waiting for us here?" Catherine was curious about this one's intentions, after all, it had been a long time since the lights were out.

"Yes, I wanted to comfort you, after all, getting caught on a night tour at Hogwarts is basically something that every student must experience, but your deduction is just a record high. But," Ixasi's smile suddenly turned strange, "now that you've learned what Dumbledore had the Three-Headed Dog guard, this should be a better fit for you." So saying, he got up and took out a pamphlet and handed it to Catherine.

“Have－a－good－dream!” Ixesy winked at the two first-year students and turned back to his dorm.

Catherine didn't open the cover of the pamphlet until he disappeared, and its title page read "Raiders----GPHCLPSB.November-91", and continued to scroll through it to find that it was actually a guide to clearing the forbidden area in the corridor on the fourth floor.

"Who the hell is it?" Draco exclaimed in a low voice, "I actually figured out the strategy back in November last year!" ”

"If you divide the eight letters of the signature into four paragraphs," Catherine separated the string with her fingernails, "you will find that the first letter of each paragraph represents exactly the college." ”

"No, it won't!" Draco immediately realized who the next four letters represented.

"Anyway, Senior Ixesi must have a share." Catherine closed the booklet and shoved it to Draco.

"I now understand what Dumbledore's 'Savior' development plan is?" Draco said solemnly as he stared at the booklet.

Catherine pursed her lips and went straight back to her dorm, after all, her current task was not to get involved in this cultivation plan, but to regain the deducted points for Slytherin, which Draco also knew, so he just grumbled and followed back to his dorm to rest.

For the next week, in addition to the confinement that was almost busy until twelve o'clock every night, Draco began to actively answer the questions of the professors in class, and in order to complete the task, Catherine had to fight for more points in addition to answering questions, and this is where the other first-year Slytherins came into play, and they automatically re-formed the "Brush Squad" to help Draco and Catherine get more scoring opportunities.

Compared to the unity of first-year Slytherin, first-year Gryffindor's cousin Xiàn is much worse, of course, this is also related to the fact that Harry and Hermione are not timely and unable to explain it clearly to the Gryffindor students who like to get to the bottom of it.

Therefore, the Gryffindor students did not know that Harry and Hermione had been deducted 100 points for Gryffindor until they passed through the huge hourglass that recorded the score of the House Cup, and this righteous house really couldn't tolerate their heroes doing wrong, so Harry and Hermione became the target of public criticism overnight, but fortunately, Slytherin also became the bottom one because of the deduction, otherwise even the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students would not have a good face for them.

Although Harry and Hermione had taken the same approach as Catherine and Draco to remedy them, the other Gryffindors had a deep grudge against them, and no one else was willing to help them except Ron and Neville, until Slytherin's score surpassed that of Gryffindor again, and they realized that such frustration was useless.

So the Slytherin and Gryffindor first-year scoring competition began again, until the Slytherin and Hufflepuff match was over. Catherine, like Slytherin and Ravenclaw, quickly caught the Snitcher, meaning that Gryffindor would have to score more than 200 points in the final match if they were to win the Quidditch Cup.

Since the last game was held on the third day after the exams, Harry had to take three nights a week to train, which made his already tight revision time even more insufficient, and Catherine couldn't help but be glad that the Slytherin game was completely over.
