Chapter 53: The Way Home
Chapter 53: The Way Home
The House Cup changed hands once again and returned to its original owner, Slytherin, to Gryffindor's disappointment.
I thought that this pie from the sky hit me, and just a few minutes after the celebration, it immediately became a bubble, and there was no joy.
If there is anyone who is most disappointed in Gryffindor, it is undoubtedly Harry, who has received the extra points. I thought I could be the hero of Gryffindor and thwart the back-to-back Slytherin titles, but when Dumbledore announced that they had won the House Cup, the parents of Malfoy and Sterling's gang arrived.
What's even more surprising is that Dumbledore is actually just a working boy under other people, and Slytherin is the big boss of Hogwarts.
Oh, my God? Are they going to live under the hands of this second generation of power in the future?
"But seriously, although they usually seem to be a little arrogant, they really don't use their identity as the son of the school director to bully their classmates or engage in shady scenes."
At the end of the night, many people lost sleep, remembering the deep background of the Slytherin snakes, and their usual behavior. Although he is indeed a little arrogant compared to ordinary people, at least he did not bring power to school, whether it was fighting for points or fighting, he did not borrow his father's liliang.
Even if he was beaten in the brawl, he was just trying to get revenge on himself, not through the pressure of the school director.
Thinking about it this way, this second generation of power can be called pure little white sheep.
Gryffindor, on the other hand, pretended to be fair and just, but Dumbledore was not partial to them, and they could still accept it so justifiably.
Come to think of it, the rumors at that time may still be true. I'm afraid that the Harry Potter guys really went to steal the Philosopher's Stone, otherwise how could they be so clear about the situation inside, and they investigated it in advance.
The end of the Academy Cup is just a small thing, a very common thing.
However, due to the effects of this incident, the atmosphere in the school gradually began to shift towards Slytherin.
Slytherin people are proud and arrogant, but people also have this capital to be arrogant.
said that people are too arrogant, maybe they are still jealous of other people's rich and powerful families, if you give a chance to tie up, I don't know how many people are moved.
Students in the first, second and third grades may not have any ideas yet, but students from the fifth grade and above have a lot of floating thoughts. From the wizard's point of view, they are not small, it's time to plan for the future, and it is not easy for them to climb up to this rich and powerful second generation.
To put it simply, it is ten years less to struggle. And a shit luck, if you marry them or marry among them, you will not have to worry about it for the rest of your life.
Shijie is very cruel.,Reality is not a fairy tale.,Justice or something is better to talk about those first-grade children who have just entered school.。 At their age, they have no money and no power, even if Dumbledore comes.
Look at what happened at the dinner, Dumbledore was great enough to be famous, but as soon as the pure-blood family came out, he could only concede three points.
Students from the fifth grade onwards are the true elite of Hogwarts, and they are also the backbone. Although not everyone is greedy for money and power, it is a minority who may insist on not being sugar-coated shells.
Money makes the way, and that's the style of these old Slytherin families.
The next day, all the learning was finally over, and the students ushered in the long-awaited holiday. Threes, threes, twos and twos boarded Thestrals' carriage, came to the Hogwarts train station, and boarded the train with large and small bags.
The train roared, the scenery outside the window was speeding away, and the dripping raindrops were lapping on the windows. It was a gloomy day, with rain falling from the gray sky, and the first semester of student life was over.
"Zaijian, see you next year, remember to write to me."
"I'll definitely send you an owl."
"Are you going to come to my house for the holidays?"
At the London train station, the little wizard who got off the train waved goodbye to his classmates and friends, recounted the sadness of parting, or discussed the promise of the holiday.
"Father is here, Draco, I'll go first."
As soon as he got off the train, Sephiroth saw his father waving to him not far away, and he hurriedly said goodbye to Draco and walked towards his father.
"Uh, oh! Well, I'm going to go too. ”
Without much retention, Draco saw his mother as well.
"Father, we can go home ourselves, we don't need you to pick it up yourself."
Running to his father, Great Sterling, Sephiroth left his luggage on the ground and waited for his sister, who also attended Hogwarts, to show up.
"Today, I just happened to be free."
Nodding at Sephiroth, Big Sterling looked at the doors of the train again.
Not long after, my sister also got out of the car.
However, she did not carry a large suitcase by herself like Sephiroth, and two boys followed her with large bags of luggage. My sister, who has entered the stage of adolescent girls, has inherited the excellent genes of her parents and looks very sweet, and she also has a lot of suitors in school.
"Ah, my brother and father are in front, it's good to be here. xiexie~"
My sister's eyes lit up, and she suddenly found that the figures of Sephiroth and her father standing on the platform not far away, the unusually different temperament of the pure-blood family over the years made them extremely conspicuous in the crowd. Taking her luggage from the hands of her bitter suitor, the graceful Miss Stirling trotted over, leaving the two boys who had been busy along the way.
"It's all back, let's go. Mom is already waiting for you at home with a hearty meal. Hold on to me. ”
Big Sterling smiled and touched his daughter's head, smiling kindly.
Girls are always more favored than boys, especially in this kind of pure-blood family, boys will only be strict with their elders because they want to inherit the family business, but girls are a collection of thousands of favors.
Reminded of this, Sephiroth hurriedly took his luggage, and his sister instantly stuffed his luggage into her brother's hands, and then Big Sterling grabbed their hands and activated [Phantom Shift].
The world spun around, and in a trance Sephiroth felt himself being flattened, stretched, and his head and feet spinning, as if he had entered a flush toilet.
When he staggered to his feet and looked up, the familiar mansion stood in front of him, and they were home.
"No matter how many times, I find it so convenient to be so magical. It's a pity that little wizards are not allowed to learn. ”
Sephiroth lamented the convenience of wizarding magic, but unfortunately there were too many rules in this era, and the Ministry of Magic was afraid of being overthrown, so it laid down a lot of rules and regulations that constrained wizards' talents.
"The Ministry of Magic is not vexatious, the little wizard doesn't have much ability to control it well, and a bad one will even die. However, when you reach the seventh grade, you will be able to take the [Phantom Shift] magic qualification certificate. ”
Great Sterling knocked Sephiroth on the head, this magic that even pure-blood wizards would not pass on to their offspring without permission, because it was too dangerous to give it to them until they were mentally and physically mature.
Historically, when there was no such law, there were many young wizards who did not control the magic and teleported directly to the wall and broke in two, and some have not been found yet.
"It's home! It's such a fragrant meal, it's been a long time since I've tasted my mother's cooking. ”
My sister, who had changed into her homely clothes on the train, walked around the door with her skirt in her hand, cheering and pounced on the home that exuded an alluring fragrance.
When Sephiroth put away his and his sister's luggage and went downstairs, he found that the whole family was already sitting in the dining room waiting for him.
He is the zuihou one.
"Here, first of all, praise you. Another year has passed, and I already know how you are doing in school, and you are very good as my child. Sephiroth, in particular, was able to make Dumbledore suffer a dumb loss, which is amazing. ”
"This time, pure-blood wizards have spread all over the world, and you have made a big name. Cheers to that! ”
Holding his glass aloft, Big Sterling and the rest of the family touched it lightly, and drank the wine from the glass in one gulp.
Of course, Sephiroth's cup is not a good wine, and the mother will not allow a child to drink. Even a celebratory drink or two is too early for an 11-year-old.
Then, as if getting a little carried away, Mr. Stirling gushed on and on, taking advantage of the opportunity to pour one cup after another.
Mom can't stand it, it's a good meal, it's rare to cook a meal for the children yourself, you just let the children drink with you.
"Okay, okay, it's rare that the family is back, what are you doing so much. Kids, let's eat as much as you want. ”
The two sisters who had been impatient for a long time raised the knife and fork in their hands for the first time, and picked up all the snacks on the plate into their basins.
Father and mother looked at them with a smile and a smile, and these sweets were the only ones they liked in the family, and they were actually prepared for them.
Pulling the knife back and forth, Sephiroth carefully cut the beef on his plate into regular pieces before he was satisfied, preferring fish and steak to sweets.
A candlelit dinner where the whole family was satisfied, everyone had eaten their stomachs and rested on their chairs.
The house-elves worked hard to clean up the dining table, and in order to receive the little master and young lady who came home today, they began to clean the entire main house since the morning, and they were so busy that they could not rest.
If Hermione's sympathetic guy had found out, he would have protested angrily.
