Chapter Twenty-Eight: New Partners

The news always spreads quickly, and soon the whole school knows about what Harry has done, and wanders around in the middle of the night? Harry Potter took two first-year students and deducted one hundred and fifty points from Gryffindor!

This caused Harry and Hermione to suffer an unprecedentedly cold reception at school, so much so that Hermione had become reticent when she and Ning An were reviewing in the library recently.

As for Ning An, when the Slytherin students learned that a first-year student had lost fifty points to their house with Harry Potter, they were naturally very dissatisfied.

It's just that after a few third-graders who wanted to taunt them at breakfast one day were knocked away by Daphne and Caridora with a disarming charm, and then Ning An turned them into guinea pigs, no one dared to mock Ning An in front of them.

Ning An then thought about the law and began to make Hermione laugh, and finally after Ning Jian accidentally conjured a pig's nose on her face, Hermione couldn't hold back anymore and laughed.

"I've heard that you've turned those people who laugh at you into guinea pigs." Still smiling, Hermione said:

"Sometimes I wish I could do the way you do." With that, she raised her little fist and waved it.

"Slytherin is more of a believer in seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, so the deterrent effect of strength will be stronger." Ning An flipped through the book and quipped:

"But if you do that at Gryffindor, I think you'll be even more isolated."

Speaking of this, Ning An smiled even more happily, he touched his nose and said happily: "You don't know the more interesting thing, after I punished the third graders who laughed at me, many first-year and even second-year students who were bullied by the senior actually came to me to ask for shelter... That even included one of my roommates. ”

Hermione looked at Ning An speechlessly, shook her head and muttered, "Slytherin..."

Ning An wasn't kidding, since he severely punished several third-year students, his popularity in Slytherin had risen instead of falling, which he had never expected, and it could only be said that he didn't know Slytherin before.

Many people also began to talk about the fight he had with Malfoy at the beginning of the school year, and the more they exaggerated, saying that he had knocked Malfoy down and vomited blood, and almost killed him.

So the Slytherins realized that there was a great guy in the first year with an oriental face. In particular, Ning An's last malicious transformation technique was unlocked by Professor McGonagall himself. This undoubtedly greatly increased Ning An's prestige, knowing that many seventh-year students could not use such a subtle malicious transformation technique.

Although Professor McGonagall warned him not to make trouble again, it was probably because Ning An did not take the initiative to cause trouble this time, and it may be because Ning An's Transfiguration technique was very satisfactory to her, so she did not punish him.

Next, Ning An met many students who either took the initiative to approach him, or directly said that they had something to ask him to do. This made both Daphne and Calydora excited.

"We're going to grow stronger!" Daphne shouted excitedly.

However, Ning An still had some concerns, he frowned and said:

"These people are generally first- and second-year students, and their magic level is like that, I don't think they can meet the standard for entering the snake letter."

Daphne also calmed down and sighed a little disappointed.

"But—" Ning An changed his tone and said:

"We can pick a few potential ones and let them become peripheral members of the snake letter."

"Peripheral members?" Calidora asked, puzzled.

"That is to say, I will give them a black snake mark, and then I will test them, and I will not let them know everything about the snake letter right away." Ning An had already had some ideas for this idea before, and he didn't want Snake Xin to take in all the miscellaneous people, so it would be best to have an investigation process.

After listening to Ning An's explanation, Daphne and Caridora both said that it was a good idea, so the three of them began to contact these students, who were either seeking refuge or wanting to be majestic together, which ones were worth using.

After some contact, due to the current level of the three of them in the Dementor Mind Technique, I am afraid that there is not a single student in the whole school who can lie in front of them, and Ning An has also found several potential targets.

After class that day, Ning An did not go to the library to find Hermione to review, but went to the grass by the black lake outside the school with Daphne and Calidora.

After the Easter holiday, the weather had warmed up, and the warm sun was shining on the green lawn, and the three of Ning An sat by the lake, waiting for the arrival of the people they had invited.

Soon three figures appeared on the edge of the black lake, and when they got closer, Ning An saw that it was the three people he had invited.

One of these three was none other than his roommate, Archibald? MacLeish, this is a philistine character, he knows a lot of people in Slytherin, and most of them can be talked to, but he is not a close friend, Ning An thinks he has a lot of ability to gather intelligence, and recently he has been revealing that he wants to join Ning An, so he simply invited him.

And the other two are the ones who Ning An really feels has potential.

Seeing the arrival of the three of them, Ning An and the others also stood up from the lawn, patted the grass seeds stuck to the robe, and walked forward with a smile. Ning An happily stretched out his hand and said:

"I'm glad you accepted my invitation, welcome." As he spoke, he shook hands with the three of them one by one.

"Of course! Ning'an! Of course, when you told me last night, I couldn't sleep with such joy. McLeish said excitedly.

"Okay, Mike, I think you can come over here first, I'm going to get to know two friends who don't know each other yet." Ning An said and came to the other two people, and Archibald also came to Daphne's side with a smile on his face, straightened up and stood still.

The two people standing in front of Ning An seemed to be a man and a woman, but Ning An knew that these two were boys. He stretched out his hand and shook hands with the boy who looked like a girl with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and said:

"Hello, Samantha, I'm so glad you're here."

The boy named Samantha shook Ning An's hand a little excitedly, and Ning An, who was strong, was a little painful.

"Okay, Samantha, don't worry, we'll help you deal with those who laugh at you in the future." Ning An bared her teeth, soothing Samantha's emotions.

What is Samantha's full name, Samantha? Powell, a pure-blood wizard with a good talent for magic, although he doesn't come from a long-established family, he shouldn't be bullied in Slytherin.

The problem lies in his name and appearance, because he is already very handsome, and has long hair, which makes Samantha look like a beautiful little girl, and Samantha's feminine name also causes him great distress, and the Slytherin students make fun of him for being a little girl.

Samantha had also cut off her hair, but her hair always returned to its original length overnight, and he was a Slytherin second-year student, and not only did the other second-year and senior students make fun of him, but even some first-year freshmen began to laugh at him.

Although Samantha was unwilling to be bullied and thought about resisting, she couldn't beat her four hands with two fists, and he didn't have any friends in Slytherin, so he couldn't fight those who bullied him in groups.

After hearing Ning An's last promise to help him deal with the people who laughed at him, Samantha was moved to tears, and he held Ning An's hand excitedly, as if he had a friend for the first time in his life.

Ning An finally broke free from Samantha's hand, and was held by a pretty pseudo-girl, Ning An was also a little in a trance, he was afraid that he would go on the wrong path, so he hurriedly came to the second person.

This is a person who makes people disgusted at first sight.

The man was very short, even if he straightened up, he had not yet reached Funnie's shoulders, the skin on his face was wrinkled like a little old man, his nose was collapsed, his hair was actually down, his slender eyes showed a fierce light, and his face was carved with several scars that had turned into scars, and he didn't know that he had just left the battlefield, and he was not a Hogwarts student.

"Ah, hello, Walter." Ning An smiled and stretched out his hand and beckoned.

"Hello... Ning An's hoarse voice sounded, making people feel very uncomfortable when they heard it

"I was there when you cast the spell - great malevolent transfiguration... I mean—" I could tell he wanted to praise Ning An, but his hoarse voice was harsh and uncomfortable to listen to.

This man's name is Walter? Jackson, also a pure-blood wizard, is a third-year Hogwarts student, and like Samantha, he is bullied by the Slytherin students. And the reason why he was bullied was very simple, just his ugly appearance and bad voice.

His short stature, his ugly, fierce, and old-fashioned countenance, including his uncomfortable voice, made him the most uncool and unpopular person in Slytherin. He didn't have any friends, everyone was trying to trick him and make fun of him.

However, unlike Samantha, Walter has a higher magical strength, and many wizards of the same grade or even the upper grades are not his opponents, so everyone secretly plays tricks on him, and does not dare to bully him in person. He had no friends anyway, and no one would tell him who was making him bad.

Thinking about what happened to these two people, Ning An couldn't help but be a little glad that he had met Daphne and Calidora's two partners since the beginning of school, so that he would not be isolated, otherwise he would probably be in a similar situation to these two.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ning An also shook his head, threw other thoughts out of his mind, looked at the three of them with a smile, stretched out his hand to make a gesture of welcome, and then said loudly:

"How many of you must have read yesterday's invitation?"

Samantha and Walter nodded, yesterday Daphne did send them two letters, inviting them to join a small organization of magical research and mutual aid, saying that if they agreed, they would meet in the Black Lagoon the next afternoon.
