Chapter Twenty-Five: A Little Clash at the Dinner Party

The table that was empty one second is filled with all kinds of delicacies the next.

Without much hesitation, the little wizards began to feast.

Harry was still thinking back to what Dumbledore had just said.

"Isn't he a little crazy?"

Harry asked Boxy hesitantly. Percy refuted his claims, saying that Dumbledore was a genius and the best wizard in the world, but agreed with Harry that even in his eyes, Dumbledore was somewhat insane.

Of course, he also brought Harry a lot of potatoes to his plate.

Hermione listened to Dumbledore's four words just now, but she couldn't help but think of what Luke had said when he introduced her to the four houses.

Thinking so, she couldn't help but look at the Slytherin table again.

She saw that Luke was having a good time chatting with the students. The older students also seemed to be looking forward to talking to him. Hermione turned her head again to look at where Harry was.

Well, the treatment of the two people is almost the same......

"Hey, Hermione, who's the wizard in your family?"

A little witch of the same age beside her suddenly asked.

Hermione looked at the classmate who had just been sorted into Gryffindor after her, and listened to the words coming from the table.

It looks like everyone is talking about it.

So Hermione also responded with a smile: "I am the only one in my family who is a wizard, and when I received the letter, my parents were terrified, and they thought it was a prank!" ”

"I'm pretty much the same, my mom is a wizard in my family, and then ......"

Not only Gryffindor, but also the other four houses, which are basically like this, they don't know each other, and the topics of conversation often revolve around their families and past experiences.

But at the Slytherin table, the atmosphere didn't seem to be as lively as the other three houses.

Luke saw the plate of Yangzhou fried rice in front of him, and immediately looked up at Professor McGonagall's position, and Professor McGonagall smiled and showed the cutlery in her hand.

It was a pair of chopsticks.

Luke smiled dumbly, nodded at the professor, and began to feast.

The menu on the table includes classic dishes from almost all countries in the European region. But only local British food is not popular.

However, Luke also noticed that there were quite a few people chatting with each other at the table, but some of them were clearly isolated.

For example, Luke's side is just Taylor, who is just bored and eating. At this time, I couldn't see the gloom, but the scattered hair still made it difficult to see her face.

"Luke, are you also a pureblood? I think they just looked like they were welcoming you. ”

On Luke's other side, a Slytherin freshman asked in an empty mouth as he ate roast chicken.

"Well, I'm pure-blood, from the Gaunt family. What about you? ”

Naturally, Luke responded enthusiastically. He remembered the boy's name, Humphrey Hagen.

"I, ha, I'm a half-breed, but my mom and dad didn't tell me until I got the letter. My mother, though she is a wizard, doesn't know how to do magic. ”

He said this, then shook his head: "That's what she said herself, and she was happy when I received the letter. ”

Luke nodded, he could imagine the feeling. Squibs are outliers of their kind. And when your own children don't have to suffer like yourself, the excitement can be imagined.

He could also tell that Humphrey should have known the word 'squib', but for various reasons, such an almost abusive word would be difficult to come out of a son's mouth.

"You ......"

As soon as Luke spoke, he was interrupted by someone else.

"Ha, a Squib kid, or a half-blood? Why were you sorted into Slytherin? ”

A sharp and deliberate voice broke into everyone's ears.

The contempt and sarcasm in his tone were almost undisguised.

Luke's brow furrowed, and the smile on his face was retracted. Taylor, beside him, also raised his head, revealing sea-blue eyes hidden by his long golden hair.

Humphrey's face turned white, and then turned uncontrollably red.

He turned to look at the man who had said it.

Luke remembered the man's name.

Bress Shabini. This was the last student at the time of the separation.

"Say it again!" Humphrey roared angrily.

Brace didn't care about Humphrey's anger, and he said to Luke with a smile on his face, "Hello, Mr. Gaunt, my name is Brace Shabini, and you must have heard of the Shabini family. We don't have the same heritage as the Gaunt family, but we have always focused on maintaining the purity of our bloodline. ”

"Muggles have not been allowed to tarnish our noble bloodline."

With that, he held out his hand.

"I think you must prefer to be friends with people who are equally noble."

Luke was shocked, and he looked at Brace, who seemed to be very proud in front of him. For a moment, he had some difficulty understanding the child's brain circuits.

This looks similar to Malfoy's arrogant rhetoric on the train at the time. But compared to the quarrel between the two families, Shabini directly rode his face to the half-blood wizard and the Muggle wizard this time.

Although it is true that the descent theory is prevalent in Slytherin today. But that doesn't mean there are only purebloods in this house. There are indeed not many Muggle wizards, but the proportion of half-blood wizards in the academy is not low.

Is this guy so brave......

Sabini had a smile on his face, as if he was expecting the approval of the heir of a large family like Luke. After all, although their Shabini family has earned a lot of money over the years and has begun to move closer to the nobles, it seems that there has never been a family with enough weight to recognize them. His father was worried about this.

However, such troubles will not arise today. When he heard that the heir of House Gaunt would be joining him at Hogwarts this year, he went to collect a lot of House Gaunt lore.

They were noble, arrogant, polite and elegant to the nobles, and contemptuous and disgusted with Muggles. It was a perfect fit for him. Especially when he saw how the Gunter family dealt with the filthy Muggles in those stories, he wanted to take his place.

At that moment, he felt like a spiritual Gunter.

So he thinks that he and the heir of the Gaunt family must be natural friends.

So when he was sure that the person next to him was a disgusting half-blood, a squib child, he immediately spoke.

Presumably, Luke Gaunt must have agreed with what I just said.

He thought so.

Before Luke could speak, another sneering voice came from across the table.

"Huh, Sabini? The family that bought socks? How dare you call yourself a nobleman? And what noble blood? How dare you put gold on your face! ”
