Chapter 33: Glory to Slytherin (Ask for Reading, Ask for Monthly Passes, Ask for Investment)
"Albert Jenkens. There is no doubt that Mr. Arthur Pendragon was a student of Slytherin. The only thing you can do now is to sit me back in your place. ”
Professor Snape's soft, emotionless voice emboldened the student named Albert.
He glanced angrily at Arthur and reluctantly returned to his seat.
Arthur ignored the Slytherin students' gaze as he walked over to the empty seat next to Draco Malfoy and sat down.
The Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students saw that Arthur had gone to Slytherin and could only sit down again.
They don't understand why Arthur would go to Slytherin because none of the Slytherin students welcome Arthur.
"Parvati Petyer!"
When Arthur took his seat at the Slytherin table, Professor McGonagall reopened the parchment scroll in her hand and continued the sorting ceremony for the remaining students.
"You shouldn't be sitting here."
A boy sitting across from Arthur whispered.
Arthur glanced up at the other party, and had the impression that he was one of the Slytherin prefects he had seen on the train before.
It seems that because of Arthur's performance on the train, he was recognized. Although he spoke in a stern tone, he did not show malice like the other students.
"But that's a fact that can't be changed. I'm sure in the near future you'll be glad I belong to Slytherin. Right, Draco. ”
Arthur wasn't intimidated by the unkind stares of the Slytherin students around him.
He snorted, then patted Draco Malfoy, who was pretending to have a stomachache beside him.
"Huh? Ah, yes, yes, yes! ”
Draco complained bitterly, not understanding why Arthur had to come to Slytherin.
Since he is the person Dumbledore values, he should go to Gryffindor, and it is better to go to Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff than to come to Slytherin.
Why do you have to come to Slytherin?
After he came, how could he use the prophecy in the book to become the glory of Slytherin.
Before you start school, you can kill an adult wizard. The person who possessed this terrifying power did not even dare to provoke his father, Lucius.
He... Draco wants to defeat Harry and become the savior of Slytherin.
Draco covered his chin with his hand, where Arthur's wand had been pressed against him on the train.
Glancing cautiously at Arthur, he saw that he was not looking at him, so he moved to the other side without making a sound.
Draco, who had the second general, could have become the first of the house.
But the rumors about Arthur, the repeated warnings of his father Lucius, and the scene on the train turned Draco into a fearful and helpless teenager.
"Hmph, you mean House points, we Slytherins have won the House Cup for six years in a row."
"Without your points, we'd have finished first this year and kept the House Cup in Slytherin."
Another girl with long pale blonde hair and a relatively innocent appearance, after hearing Arthur's words, immediately snorted coldly, expressing her disdain for Arthur's academy.
As this year's prefect, a reader who has read the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone novels, Gemma Farley doesn't show much hostility towards Arthur like other students who grew up in pure-blood wizarding families.
But she, like the other Slytherin students, did not want any Muggles to enter their house.
"Well, very good ambition. But... Harry Potter, who never died and worked miracles, was sorted into Gryffindor. Do you think you still have any hope of winning the House Cup this year? ”
Arthur pointed to Harry, who was enthusiastically embraced by the Gryffindor students, and said meaningfully.
"Huh?" Gemma frowned, a little puzzled.
But seeing Arthur's smiling face, she suddenly remembered that in "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", Gryffindor surpassed Slytherin in house scores because of Harry Potter's behavior.
'Impossible, how can things in fiction happen in reality!' ’
"This year's House Cup must be ours! I'll definitely beat Harry before I do... Uh..."
Draco, who was still struggling with how he would get along with Arthur in the future, heard the "House Cup" and "Harry Potter".
A nameless fire grew in his heart, and he let out a serious roar, almost telling the secret that his father, Lucius, had told him.
But fortunately, he was not a hot-blooded teenager like Ron, and after realizing that he had almost divulged his secret, he quickly shut his mouth.
"Oh? Come on! I'm looking forward to seeing what you do. If I do it well, I might be able to write a novel specifically for you. ”
Arthur quickly picked up some kind of important information from Draco's indignant countenance.
Perhaps, the year ahead will be even more interesting because of him.
If that's the case, then you can create a wonderful novel.
With the Malfoy family's power in the wizarding world, his novel featuring Draco Malfoy is sure to be a bestseller.
Especially Draco's handsome appearance can easily attract a large number of female readers.
Kim Gallon, Kim Gallon.
At this time, Draco Malfoy, in Arthur's eyes, was a humanoid Golden Galleon.
"Uh... Good. ”
Draco nodded to Arthur with apprehension.
Arthur's words of encouragement made him suddenly fall into a trance, and a new idea was born in his heart.
Maybe... Arthur was not as dangerous as his father said.
If you become friends with him, and with his support, you can defeat the mystery man before Harry, and it will be very smooth...
Later, at the holiday party, his name will resound throughout the banquet hall!
"Arthur Pendragon. Why do you have to come to Slytherin? In your Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, we Slytherin students are portrayed by you as useless, a bunch of mean, selfish, and villainous people. You must hate Slytherin! ”
When Gemma saw that Draco Malfoy had accepted Arthur so quickly, she turned at Arthur again.
Although she likes the content of the novel, she also admits that the Slytherin students are a group of mean, selfish, and bad characters in the eyes of the other three college students.
But as a Slytherin, she was very disgusted with Arthur's smearing of Slytherin like this.
"The novel is written from the perspective of the three Gryffindor students, and you don't know how Slytherin was in the minds of the students of the other houses. I'm just stating the facts. ”
"If you really care what they think, are you still Slytherin?"
"You don't care about the slander and hostile gaze."
"Honor and victory are what Slytherin students value the most. Just get the honor and win any competition. It doesn't matter what method you use. ”
"Honor and victory are the true soul of Slytherin!"
"Could it be... Don't you want to let the glory go to Slytherin? ”
"You!"
Arthur's words left the two prefects speechless.
The two of them stared at Arthur with four eyes, and began to think about how to refute Arthur.
The other Slytherin students listened to Arthur's speech and began to bow their heads and think silently.
The phrase "Glory to Slytherin" not only silenced these Slytherin students, but also made Professor Snape, who had been watching Arthur, feel excited.
