Hogwarts,

Hogwarts,

Hogwarts,

Hogwarts,

Teach us knowledge,

Whether we are old people

Or a child who falls on his knee,

Our minds can be receptive

Something interesting.

Because now our brains are empty,

Filled with air, dead flies, and trivialities,

Teach us something valuable,

Take what we have forgotten,

Give it back to us,

As long as you do your best,

Leave the rest to ourselves,

We will study hard,

until it turns to dust.

……

Everyone sang the school song seven by one.

Only the red-haired twin brothers, George and Fred Weasley, continued to sing to the slow melody of the Funeral March.

Dumbledore used his wand to direct the last few bars for both of them, and when the twins finished singing, he applauded the loudest.

"Music," Dumbledore said, wiping his eyes, "more glamorous than anything we've done here!" It's bedtime time, so let's go back to the dormitory. ”

……

Lin Xiao'an quietly hid himself in the middle of the large army of first-year Gryffindor freshmen, and followed the Gryffindor prefect, Percy Weasley, who was also from the red-haired Weasley family, through the noisy crowd, out of the auditorium, and up the marble staircase.

Percy Weasley twice led them through the door hidden behind the sliding baffles and hanging drapery, and climbed many more stairs.

Suddenly, everyone stopped.

In front of them, a bundle of canes floated in midair, and Percy Weasley took a step forward, and the canes flew towards him.

"It's Peeves," Percy Weasley whispered to the first-year freshman, "a ghost who specializes in playing pranks." ”

He raised his voice again and said, "Peeves—manifest." ”

He was answered by a loud, shrill pop like a deflated balloon.

"Are you asking me to find Barrow the Bloody?"

With a pop, a dwarf suddenly appeared in the air, with evil black eyes and a large mouth, floating cross-legged in mid-air, holding the bundle of canes firmly in both hands.

"Ho-ho-ho!" He smirked, "It turned out to be a nasty first-year ghost!" It's so much fun! ”

He lunged at them suddenly, and the freshmen were stunned.

"Go away, Peeves! Otherwise, I'll tell Bloody Barrow, I'm not kidding! Percy yelled.

Peeves stuck out his tongue and was gone.

The dropped cane slammed right on Neville-Longbottom's head, and the freshmen heard Peeves soar into the air, their armor clanging as it flew by.

"You should be wary of Peeves." Percy said, leading the group onwards, "Barrow the Bloody is the only ghost who can stop him, and he can't even listen to us prefects—we're here." ”

……

At the end of the corridor hangs a portrait of a very wealthy woman dressed in pink.

"Password?" She asked.

"Dragon scum." Percy Weasley replied.

The painting staggered forward, revealing a circular hole in the wall.

The freshmen began to climb into the hole in the wall—

Lin Xiaoan could already vaguely see the Gryffindor common room-

It was a cozy round room, filled with fluffy armchairs—

"Lin, Xiao, An."

Professor Severus-Snape came up behind Lin Xiao'an at some point and called out his name softly.

……

Tick.

Tick.

Tick.

Boooooooom!!!

The dust settled.

Really......

It's still coming.

There is no escape.

Lin Xiao'an actually felt a sense of relief in his heart...... What, the feeling that the overall situation has been decided, he turned around with a forced smile: "Oh~ My dearest teacher~ You just want me to send an owl~ How dare you come to the cold dormitory in such a simple way...... Over ......"

Lin Xiaoan looked at Professor Snape's increasingly ugly face, and the more he spoke, the quieter he became, and the quieter he spoke...... Finally, along with the other freshmen who had not had time to enter the Gryffindor common room, they shrunk their heads and stood up trembling like a wilting quail.

"Finished?" Professor Snape asked Lin Xiaoan.

"It's over." Lin Xiaoan replied dejectedly.

Professor Snape was a man of action, and he reached out to pick up Lin Xiao'an, and walked away under the horrified gaze of a group of obnoxious Gryffindor cubs.

Lin Xiaoan struggled like the pet toad raised by Neville Longbottom: "Teacher! I can walk on my own! I don't want to lose face?! So many people are watching! Give me some face! ”

"Shut up."

“…… Oh. ”

……

Since he couldn't apparition in Hogwarts Castle, Professor Snape randomly found a vacant lounge with a fireplace, drew his wand and lit a fire and sprinkled Floo powder in one go: "Cellar!" ”

Walking out of the fireplace, Lin Xiao'an patted the dust on the wizard's robe and muttered, "It's not me who said, teacher, it's time for you to change offices." This cellar is cool in the summer, and I don't want to stay here in the winter. I'm only 11 years old this year, and I'm still a child, how can I break it if I get rheumatoid arthritis? ”

Professor Snape: "......"

Sure enough, it was because he made a big mistake, so Merlin let this little devil named Lin Xiaoan answer me every day?

Professor Snape shook his head, dispelling the thought, and asked angrily, "Do you know that Malfoy is injured?" ”

"Hah! I knew it! That Malfoy is a complaint! Lin Xiaoan had been waiting for a long time, and hurriedly took out the gramophone crystal ball, "Look at this!" ”

Professor Snape looked at the image inside the crystal ball, his face ...... I can't see the change, I've been angry to the limit, can it be worse?

Lin Xiaoan looked at it with a blank eye: "Teacher, that kid from Malfoy is the Five Elements Underbeaten, right?" Right? ”

Professor Snape reluctantly said, "It's the fault of the parents, he's still a child......"

"Oh! Teacher! You're not right! Malfoy, he's eleven years old, not a kindergarten kid anymore! He is responsible for what he has said! I'm not the kind of coward who swallows his anger! Cut, if I can't beat me, I'll find an adult to complain, wait and see, wait for tomorrow ......"

"Lin Xiaoan!"

"Yes!"

"That's the end of this matter, I'll communicate with Malfoy's parents that you don't want another incident - understand?!"

"Understood! Can...... What if the complainant comes to me for trouble? Teacher? ”

Professor Snape took the crystal ball into the drawer (Lin Xiaoan: "......"), and said with a blank face: "Hold the measure." ”

……

Huh~heehe~

Lin Xiaoan ran behind Professor Snape, pinched Professor Snape's shoulder and back, and said with a hippie smile: "Teacher~ What else do you command?" The implication is that if it's okay, the labor and management will go back to the dormitory and sleep!

After more than a month of getting along, Professor Snape has long been accustomed to Lin Xiaoan's rogue and tired appearance: "Are you familiar with "A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms"? ”

"Reciting it like a stream!" Lin Xiaoan patted his chest.

"Good." Professor Snape pushed the thick stack of books on his desk—at least two feet tall—"Take them back to your dorm room, memorize them within a week, and I'll check your progress at any time." ”

"This, this, these ......" Lin Xiaoan stumbled and said, "Teacher......"

Professor Snape grimaced, "I should have thought that with your reckless and arrogant nature, the chances of being sorted into Slytherin were slim to none—but, since I was your teacher, I was responsible for your studies—remember, every day after dinner, you would have to go to the cellar to receive my special tutoring, with the password 'unicorn blood'—well, now, you can go out." ”

Lin Xiaoan: "Author...... Can I change the book to be the main character? ”
