Chapter 12: The Rules of the Serpent Swarm
Parkinson glared at Greengrass fiercely and said to Malfoy, "Draco, I thought you were friends with Sabini, and I let him into your workshop on the train before." ”
Malfoy said with some disdain: "A Sabini, not a big family, it was just because his mother's new man had a business with my father, and he was able to get by." ”
"Then this person really has ulterior motives, and wants to come to the Malfoy house." Pansy said, glancing at Daphne, causing Daphne's eyes to darken and turn to Malfoy.
"Pansy, Greengrass, and we are all Holy 28 pure-bloods, and as long as we're not those red-haired traitors, we deserve to be friends."
Pansy smiled triumphantly.
"Of course, Draco you're always right, Greengrass 'deserves' to be friends."
……
Early the next morning, Brie got up from a trance, Slytherin's Friday was only a morning class, it was a potions class, this Brie only memorized the content of the textbook, did not do any practical subjects, and like the Transfiguration class, Brie worried about whether his talent was lit up.
"That's an early wake-up."
Of course, Brie is not talking about himself, he is self-aware, not to mention this kind of dark dungeon, although there is a fireplace, it always feels wet, which is really good to sleep on.
Of course, Brie still longs for the breeze from the tower instead of the ugly merfolk swimming outside the window, and it's good luck to wake up, doesn't it mean that there are very few mermaids near Hogwarts.
Sabini had gone out, and Brie had begun to get up and wash, and the dean's class, I only hoped that he would be gentle, less aggressive, as if someone had killed his girlfriend, looking gloomy and misanthropic, and really tired of life.
Knock knock knock......
"Oh, don't make a noise, you can't break the windows, and I don't want to have physical contact with you, and I don't want to remember you when I go to breakfast."
After Brie washes up, she picks up her Potions textbook and puts it in her crossbody bag and goes out, treating her enthusiastic fellow coldly.
I don't know if it's because of Brie's talent, but he is naturally friendly and always loved by small animals.
The mermaid is probably a small animal, like the previous goblin is not, although it is also ugly from another angle.
It was a quiet day, and Brie made it to the hall safely, but strangely enough, where the Weasley twins went, and if they didn't come to him, he threw away the stinky grass in his bag.
"Good morning, Brie."
"Good morning Cedric, looks good today."
The tables in the hall are from left to right from the teacher's chair, and they are Hufflepuff, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor.
Brie sat on the inside, so close to Hufflepuff, Cedric could just talk to Brie.
Cedric listened to Brie's words and smiled gently, seeing that Brie was doing well in Slytherin, but it was better to be reminded, such as Potions class.
"That's fine, but be careful in Potions class, don't do what Professor Snape didn't tell you to do, he... Well, it's a bit harsh, but I've heard that it's good for Little Snake, at least he won't deduct points from his own house, but you're not very lucky, you're taking classes with Gryffindor. ”
Cedric didn't say it explicitly, but Brie also knew that Gryffindor and Slytherin were enemies, and the day before yesterday was fine, and the little snakes had just entered school, but since yesterday, when the little snakes' eyes were released from Brie, they began to spray venom on Gryffindor people, whether they were senior or junior.
It's the same with Gryffindor, it's noisy.
Especially in the case of the savior's enrollment, like now-
A little badger next to Brie said, "Look, the one next to the red-haired boy..."
"The one with glasses?"
"Yes, that's Harry Potter, do you see that scar, it's amazing!"
…
"Hmph, Pote, you can really use fame, the day before yesterday, yesterday, today, eating doesn't make people stop."
As Malfoy spoke, the little snakes around him nodded in disgust; The senior glanced at Potter with a frown, and then continued to breakfast elegantly
Thanks to Malfoy and Slytherin for the bed, and the library; Malfoy always absorbs a lot of Potter's impact, and Brie woke up late with the class schedule yesterday and the day before yesterday, and spent his spare time reading in the library or dorm, so he didn't meet Gryffindor's Potter head-on.
But today is an insight, the whole Hogwarts breakfast time is muttering, and some Slytherin people are inevitably putting down the etiquette and saying a few words.
But Potter is clearly not used to such fame, he is not a star material, maybe like Brie himself...
"Maybe he just wants to spend seven years in peace and graduate successfully."
Brie muttered, while Cedric looked at his wandering mind with a smile.
He said, "Hey, are you looking at Potter too." ”
"Ah, yes, everybody's watching, isn't it, but I'm not as hostile to Gryffindor as the other snakes." Brie took a sip of milk and said, "I just want to have a good time with the next seven years of magic lessons." ”
Brie pointed to the Potions textbook.
"I'm more worried about whether I have a talent for potions, or a liking for them, than I care about Potter."
Cedric shrugged helplessly, because he didn't like it either, even if he could get first in his grade.
"If you have a hard time, I can give you a make-up lesson."
"That's great, but I'll have to try it myself, well, let's eat first, some little snakes are glaring, really."
Obviously they don't like themselves, but they are so controlling, Slytherin is really an awkward house, they can be unanimous on the outside, but they are internally divided, they are really like snakes.
"Goo-goo-goo......"
At this time, a large flock of owls flew in, and it had nothing to do with Brie, he no longer had anyone who could send owls frequently.
……
Today, Potter received a letter.
Harry Potter looked at the owl flying towards him with some surprise and anticipation, knowing that he didn't have anyone to write to, he wondered, "Who could it be?" ”
Harry Potter's owl is called Hedwig, and instead of carrying a letter, it has a note.
"Hagrid?"
Harry Potter said to Ron Weasley, who was sitting next to him, "Hi, Ron, it's Hagrid's letter, he told me to go to him at three o'clock in the afternoon." ”
Harry happily wrote a reply on the back of the note.
"Hagrid, is that the giant?" Ron Weasley was a little confused, but seeing that Harry was so happy, he didn't say anything, but decided to go with him.
……
After eating breakfast for many people, under the admiring gaze of Hufflepuff and the cold face of Slytherin, Brie followed the first-year snakes to the basement level, where the Potions classroom was located, close to Slytherin, but strangely remote.
The potions classroom is very large, at least a few dozen students can attend classes together, there are many small potions tables, which are usually used by two people, and the shelves around the walls are full of bottles and jars, which are strange, they should be potion materials or specimens, and there is a storage cabinet for potions materials on one side, and there is a blackboard on the podium, because it is underground, so the whole classroom is gloomy, and even because there is no popularity, it seems colder than the corridor.
Brie adapted, and soon found a place in the back, while some of the Gryffindor students who arrived were in trouble, and as soon as they entered, they were pale with fear by the environment and a large group of small snakes, and at one point they were the same color as Malfoy.
But as Harry Potter walked into the classroom, these people seemed to have found their backbone, surrounding Harry Potter, slowly finding their place, which was distinct from Slytherin, one green and one red.
"Hmph, Harry Poult." Malfoy said disdainfully, and waited for the lesson with his hands, with Gregory Goyle, Theodore Nott with Vincent Crabbe, and Pansy Parkinson and Daphne Greengrass, who couldn't look at each other.
As for Brie, well, thanks to Slytherin's first year being an even number, a girl who looked honest and fierce walked up to Brie's side quietly.
Brie raised his head slightly, and saw that this person was a head taller than him, and some of the stout girls blushed and did not dare to look at Brie.
Buri was expressionless, at least there were people teaming up with him.
"I'm Millison Bosd, and I'm in first grade." The girl's voice was so small that she couldn't hear it if Brie wasn't next to her.
"I mean, I'm a pureblood, but I don't hate hemp ...... No, I mean... Not many Slytherins actually hate you, because, because a lot of people are following the rules, pure-bloods. ”
"You're very good, when you're on the trail, that glowing charm is excellent, at least I can only make the tip of my wand glow a little at home, and Malfoy... You dare to mess with him, although I don't know what happened between you, but many people say that the mud spots in your hair during the Malfoy Sorting were intentional on your part..."
I could see that she was a little flustered, but what she said made Brie interested, and she couldn't help but tilt her head.
She seemed to be encouraged, mustered up her courage, and whispered, "It's not all Malfoy's fault, it's more your problem, no Muggle wizard has ever entered Slytherin, at least I haven't heard of it, and you've never refuted your origins, so everyone doesn't dare to approach you, even those half-bloods, and even they hate being close to you more than purebloods." ”
"Those two sophomores that morning were like that, but few were so stupid, maybe they were provoked by someone...... Because in the unspoken rules of Slytherin, whoever joins us will have a certain period of protection, and like a snake, he will not be harmed by a snake that is not born. ”
When Brie heard this, he was stunned and asked, "How long is the protection period?" ”
Millicent Bosted glanced at Malfoy and said, "If there is no personal vendetta, the protection period within Slytherin is the end of all classes in the first week, which is the end of next Wednesday; Slytherin's words to the outside world are for a month, and during this month Slytherin will protect you from being bullied by other houses, but they won't ask how you are doing in the house......"
Briroy nodded in particular, then smiled kindly at her, "Thank you, you're a good girl." ”
Millicent Bosted blushed and reminded with some concern, "If you're really a Muggle wizard, then you need to show value, no matter what the subject, at least make others speechless." ”
"Oh, is that so?"
