Chapter 7: Slytherin

At this point, the Sorting House ended.

Albus Dumbledore stood up, he looked at the students with a smile on his face, and stretched out his arms to them, as if nothing made him happier than seeing them all in one place.

"Welcome!" He said, "Welcome to Hogwarts to start the new school year!" Before the banquet begins, I would like to say a few words. It's like: 'Stupid! Cry! Residue! Wring! 'Thank you! ”

He sat back down. Everyone applauded and cheered. "Well, he says that every year!" Cynthia whispered to Severus next to her.

"Hmm." The boy replied in a low voice, but did not speak again.

At this time, the plate in front of Cynthia was full of food. Roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, bratwurst, steak, boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, potato chips, Yorkshire pudding, pea sprouts, carrots, gravy, ketchup, and, for some odd reason, mint hard candy.

"Well, it's very rich! It's just that why there's no black tea, I don't like pumpkin juice at all! She complained.

I saw Lucius on the other side pick up his wand and click on the cup in front of Cynthia, the pumpkin juice in it disappeared, and a steaming cup of black tea appeared.

"Thank you so much! Lucius, why didn't I think of it! After saying that, he began to eat the vegetable salad and grilled lamb chops in front of him.

"Looks really good." A voice suddenly sounded in Cynthia's ears, and she was startled, and she put down the knife and fork in her hand and turned her head to look. I saw a ghost sitting at the table, very terrifying, with dull eyes, withered, and his robe stained with silver blood.

"You, hello, first, sir." Cynthia stammered and asked, "You, would you like some?" ”

"I don't need to eat them, but of course I miss them. Oh, forgot to introduce myself, I'm the ghost of Slytherin, Barrow the Bloody, and it's nice to meet you, sweet girl. With that, he floated through Cynthia's body to the other end of the long table.

After Cynthia finished eating a pudding, the dinner was over.

Professor Dumbledore stood up again. The restaurant is also quiet. "Oh, now that everyone is full and drunk, I want to say a few more words to everyone. At the beginning of the semester, I would like to make a few points to note with you.

"First-year students are aware that all woods on campus are off-limits to students."

"Also, Mr. Filch, the administrator, also wants me to remind everyone not to do magic in the hallways between classes."

"The Quidditch player review will take place in the second week of the term. If you are interested in joining the college team, please contact Mrs. Huo Qi. ”

"Now, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!" Dumbledore exclaimed.

Dumbledore flicked his wand, and a long ribbon of gold flew out of it, twisting like a snake over the high dining table.

"Each person chooses their favorite tune." Dumbledore said, "Ready, sing!" ”

So all the teachers and students sang loudly:

Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hogwarts,

Teach us knowledge,

Whether we are old men,

Or a child who falls on his knee,

Our minds can accept something interesting.

Because now our minds are empty, full of air,

Dead flies and trivialities,

Teach us something valuable,

Give us back to us what we have forgotten,

You just have to do your best, and we will take care of the rest.

We will study hard until we turn into dung.

Everyone sang the school song seven by one. Dumbledore exclaimed, "It's bedtime." Let's go back to the dormitory. ”

"Slytherin freshmen, follow me!" Lucius stood up and waved his hand, motioning for the freshmen to follow.

Cynthia pulled Severus and said, "Let's go together, Severus!" With that, he followed Lucius and Icesy's pace.

They made their way through the noisy crowd, out of the hall, and downstairs.

"Our Slytherin common room is located underground at Hogwarts Castle, so everyone is keeping up." Lucius said.

Then they entered a dark hallway and came to a stop in front of a stone slab at the end. "This is the entrance to the Slytherin Lounge, you need a password to enter, the password changes every week, everyone pay attention to the blackboard at the door. It is important to remember that the password cannot be revealed to people from other colleges. Then he uttered the password, "Pureblood." ”

The slabs parted on either side, revealing a round opening. Upon entering, Cynthia saw the whole view of the lounge, which was a circular room, full of Gothic hall, with a black marble floor, shiny in the light, long silver chains hanging from the ceiling, a huge green circular chandelier hanging from the bottom, dark green wallpaper depicting delicate silver patterns, and a large octopus could be seen dancing its long tentacles outside the round window......

"I'm your prefect, Lucius Malfoy, a sixth year Slytherin. In Slytherin, I hope that each and every one of you will be proud of the glory of Slytherin, and do not try to break the rules, we use it, but we will not touch it. Hopefully, this academic year won't be lost to you because of your arrival. He paused.

"Also, we have to be unanimous, we are a collective, and whatever you are doing, you must always have the Slytherin Code in mind! The guidelines are on the fireplace, and everyone should memorize them. ”

"Now, I'm sure you're tired, so good night, everyone." With that, he walked towards Cynthia.

"Thea, Regulus, I'll wait here every morning for you to eat in the hall and then take you to the classroom." As he spoke, he rubbed Cynthia's hair again, "So, I wish you all a good night, good night!" ”

"Good night, Lucius!" Cynthia replied with a blushing face. Then he looked at Severus beside him and said, "Severus, can you tell me about potions tomorrow night?" ”

"Uh, I'm sorry, Cynthia, I have an appointment tomorrow night." Severus scratched his head.

"Alright then, let's make an appointment another day, good night." After speaking, he walked to the passage of the girls' dormitory.

She found the dormitory with her name written on it, opened the door, and found that there was already a girl inside, the girl who was on the same boat as her.

"It's you! We are really fated to be good friends in the future! By the way, I'm Elsa Shafiq, you can call me Elsa! The girl ran over and took her hand and said.

"Nice to meet you, Elsa, you can call me Cynthia!" Cynthia replied excitedly.

"Let's rest early tonight, we have to find a classroom tomorrow!"

The two of them said goodnight to each other after washing.

"So, good night, Elsa!"

"Good night, Cynthia."
