Chapter 120: Low-key, pragmatic, diligent and studious

PS: MERLIN IS A SLYTHERIN THIS INFORMATION COMES FROM THE WELCOME LETTER FOR NEW SLYTHERIN STUDENTS IN POTTERMORE, AS FOR THE VARIOUS CONTRADICTIONS, SUCH AS THE CHRONOLOGICAL ISSUE, I CAN'T SORT IT OUT, AFTER ALL, I AM NOT JK ROWLING, I CAN'T BE SURE OF HER REAL THOUGHTS, AND CAN ONLY WRITE ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION THAT HAS BEEN SEARCHED AND HAS AN OFFICIAL SOURCE.

Since there is such a provenance, it is better to think of it as another Merlin who has many differences from the legend.

......

Ethan observes spells while searching his mind for details about Harry Potter.

There are a lot of things that can be remembered, but there are not many useful ones, but I remember that the world of Harry Potter clearly said that magic can't conjure food out of thin air.

But magic can make 'food more' (inject mana and then convert mana into the same substance as an item?), so the food in front of him can be explained by a large amount of mana fluctuations when it appears, so Dumbledore made more food that has already been prepared and transferred it to the students' tables.

After the dinner, the Slytherin students were led by Prefect Gemma Farley to the dormitory.

The Slytherin dormitories are located behind a stone wall in the lower dungeons of the castle, and the common rooms in Slytherin are directly known as the Slytherin Dungeon.

"It was an uncomfortable environment. ”

Ethan turned his head to look at the person talking next to him, and realized that it was Illya.

"Where did you just go?"

"The professor approached me to talk to me about something alone. ”

Like Ethan, Elijah was also sorted into Slytherin, but she was called away by the professor in the middle of the sorting ceremony, so Ethan didn't even notice when she returned.

"Because of Xiaobai?"

"Hmm!"

No matter how cute and cute Xiaobai is, it is also a pet that does not meet the regulations of the college.

Because this is a white bear cub, not a cat, owl, or toad that the academy is allowed to carry.

No one cared about it before, because before the sorting ceremony was completed, no one knew what kind of pet Illya was carrying, and after the sorting ceremony, the students' salutes would be sent to the corresponding college dormitory.

Snape, as the headmaster, and McGonagall, the vice principal, both had a conversation with Illya, and in the end, I don't know if it was because Illya was cute, or because Snape saw Illya's outstanding talent and reluctantly tolerated her behavior that did not comply with the school's rules, allowing her to continue to raise Xiaobai in the house.

However, because Xiaobai's situation is special. Therefore, most of the time, it cannot be brought to the dormitory like ordinary pets, but a separate place to be raised and lived.

After talking about Xiaobai's situation, Gemma had already told all the new students how to enter the dungeon from the academy and enter the Slytherin common room through the stone wall, and the new students could also take a good look at the common room, after all, they would be living here for at least seven years.

"It's not very comfortable. ”

The Slytherin common rooms and dormitories are all underground, or at the bottom of the lake, and the windows can see the lake, and with the rough stone ceiling, the green lights hanging from the walls, and some skulls used to decorate, the whole room exudes an eerie and cold atmosphere.

Ethan grinned, eager to complain about the man who had made the designs.

However, looking at the expression of a group of 'Form 2' children with a 'we are so awesome, we should live in such a cool place', it is estimated that if he opens his mouth to complain, he will immediately become a public enemy in Slytherin House.

"I hope it's not so cold and damp in the dormitory. ”

Although there is a huge fireplace in the lounge, and the flame is burning brightly, it is at the bottom of the lake after all, and it is impossible to keep it cold and damp, just a little relief to make the situation less so bad.

"The password is changed every two weeks, and the new students remember to pay attention to the bulletin board, and don't forget to look at the new password that causes them to be unable to enter...... Believe me, if anyone had made such a stupid mistake, no one would have let you in. ”

Prefect Gemma Farley finally explained a few more things, and then let the freshmen go back to rest.

Starting tomorrow, new students will begin their studies at Hogwarts, where they will learn all kinds of magic from the ground up.

The freshmen were looking forward to it, including Draco Malfoy, who usually looked down on anyone, and was also excited.

However, no one can't even sleep like Harry Potter and wake up late the next day, after all, most of the children recruited here in Slytherin are pure-blood families, and these people are not 'rookies' who have not seen magic, so they will not be excited to that extent.

So when it was time to wake up the next day, all the freshmen got up on time, including Ethan, who didn't need to sleep at all.

"Look at the way you slept well yesterday, didn't you fall asleep because you saw a new world?"

Ethan shook his head speechlessly.

"I've seen a lot more new stuff than you think. ”

Malfoy didn't expect Ethan to answer him like that, what did this answer mean?

"Who do you think you're talking to?"

"Draco Malfoy, a little kid who doesn't know anything?"

There was no doubt that the other party was mocking him, and Draco Malfoy only felt a rush of heat rushing to his head, and he wanted to immediately pull out his wand and teach this guy who didn't know anything a hard lesson.

His two henchmen had rolled up their sleeves and were ready to make Ethan look good.

Especially when I saw Ethan's expression of 'come, come, have the ability to come up!', these two children who were not very flexible in their brains had even raised their fists.

"What are you doing?"

Ethan pursed his lips, the appearance of the prefect Gemma meant that this matter was over, as a prefect, it was impossible for the prefect to allow the students of the same house or even the same class to fight in private.

No matter who wins or loses, it is Slytherin House that loses in the end.

So when Gemma appeared, everyone showed a look of pity.

Some felt that it was a pity that they couldn't teach Ethan, a Muggle-born guy, a lesson and put him in his position, and some felt that it was a pity that they couldn't see Ethan beat up a few unlucky guys.

"What's the pity, even if you beat these little kids to death, there's nothing to be proud of. ”

"Mm-hmm, Basaka is the strongest!"

"You already know my situation, so don't call me Basaka, right?"

Illya didn't speak, just pretended not to hear, and then continued to walk in the direction of the class with her Xiaobai in her arms.

The first class was that of the Head of Gryffindor, and the Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall, and they didn't dare to go too late.

Since Slytherin takes classes with Gryffindor, the rivalry between the two houses is almost ubiquitous, and the Serpent and Lion are almost always hostile - in fact, Slytherin's relationship with several other houses is not good, with Gryffindor being the worst.

However, the Hogwarts Sorting Masters, although they were very concerned about their own houses winning the competition, did not deliberately stumble on other houses, or even deliberately discriminate against them, and at the same time, they did not deliberately cover up the mistakes made by their own students - for example, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley were late for the first day of class, and they were cleaned up by Professor McGonagall.

Each professor is very conscientious in imparting various knowledge to the students, and Ethan also starts from the basics to learn and understand the magic of this world.

As he had judged before, the magic system in this world was very different from the magic system he had cultivated before.

First of all, the magic system of this world is very talented, and the height that a wizard eventually grows to depends on the level of individual talent, and talent is almost fixed to death from birth, and there is no way to improve it after tomorrow.

The growth and improvement of magic power depends entirely on talent, and the growth of magic power with poor talent is slow, and it is impossible to achieve anything great in a lifetime, and in the end, it can only be at the bottom or even the edge of the magic world, and a lifetime has passed.

Even the release of magic depends on talent, and there is no secret or point to many magic methods, which is to tell you to raise your wand and say a spell, and believe that you can do it, and you do it...... This made Ethan very uncomfortable, even though he could easily find the feeling of 'casting spells' with his staff and successfully release his magic, he still felt uncomfortable.

The magic is released, but how is it released? How does the magic move? What is its nature? Is there any model that has been constructed? Runes, magic circles, and what else?

He needed to think about it well, and for this he spent more time than the rest of his classmates delving into simple things, which slowed down his learning speed countless times.

But even so, he still mastered magic much faster than most, and only a few could keep up with Ethan's learning speed.

It's not without benefit to accidentally become an honor student, for example, Slytherin's headmaster, Snape, is now very pleasing to Ethan.

Because Ethan is low-key and pragmatic, hard-working, and never causes trouble - ever since Ethan began to show great talent, the Slytherin pride no longer rejected him, because he proved himself worthy of being a Slytherin student.

Of course, there are still people who are unhappy with Ethan, such as Draco Malfoy, who will be hated by anyone more showy than him, but after finishing the course one day and successfully blocking Ethan in the corner of the hallway, he didn't bother Ethan again after lying on the cold stone floor all night.

Malfoy is arrogant and arrogant, but he is not stupid - the other party's strength is obviously much stronger than him, and at this time, he jumps out and provokes purely to make trouble for himself.

It was that time that made Malfoy realize that Ethan was far stronger than he had shown.
