The Ancient Wizards of Hogwarts.

Chapter 32
Slytherin common room, Harry and Cassandra's dormitory.

Cassandra was combing her blond hair in front of the mirror. She saw the black-haired girl sitting beside the bed through the mirror and asked:

"Harry, how did you sleep last night?"

"Great." Harry stretched, "Although Slytherin's lounge looks very humid, it's surprisingly comfortable to sleep on. However, Slytherin's lounge needs to be decorated like this... well , dark?”

Cassandra was a little dissatisfied and corrected:

"This is not called darkness!"

Harley blinked:
"What's that called?"

"Personality!" Cassandra said arrogantly.

Harley muttered:

"But I don't want such a personality. If I have the chance, I will definitely change the style here to be warmer."

"it's out of the question."

Kassandra said without hesitation: "They will not tolerate your behavior."

"Who?" Harley asked.

"Everyone." Cassandra said without hesitation:

"No one is going to change that, they love it here."

Harley complained softly:

"Ash is right, the wizards at Hogwarts are all old fogies."

Cassandra ignored her complaints and solemnly reminded:
"We have to go to class. You'd better hurry up. I don't want to be late on the first day. This will damage the honor of the Malfoy family!"

"Ah, wait for me." Harry exclaimed and ran towards the bathroom - Slytherin's bathroom is outside the common room, and every time he goes back and forth, he has to go through a long corridor and a long spiral staircase.

High emotional intelligence: This can effectively train students' physical fitness.

Low emotional intelligence: easily unable to hold back.

Hufflepuff has the same problem as Slytherin. There is no bathroom in their common room. This may be because their lounges are in the basement.

Compared to them, Gryffindor and Ravenclaw were heaven.

"Let's go."

Soon, after washing, Harley returned to the room, picked up the textbook on the table, and said to Cassandra.

Cassandra frowned and asked, "Don't you need to dress up? Comb your hair or something."

"Do you need it?" Harley touched her silky black hair and asked curiously.

"..." Cassandra's eyes were a little envious, because she had to spend a long time combing her long hair every morning.

"Let's go."

Harley smiled slightly and headed to the common room with Cassandra.

On the table in the common room was steaming bread and milk, the Hogwarts breakfast.

No one saw where the food came from, and Harley didn't care. She just ate two pieces of bread in a hurry and grabbed Cassandra's hand - the latter was drinking black tea elegantly, and she almost dropped the tea cup when she was caught off guard. go out.

Unable to resist Harry, she stumbled a few steps closer to the stairs and placed the tea cup on the table opposite the gargoyle.

They walked up the spiral staircase, and knights in armor nodded to them on the way.

When they left the Slytherin common room, Harry looked back and saw a giant python squirming into the floor and disappearing, and the door propped up by it also disappeared, leaving only a wall that looked like Ordinary walls.

If you are a student from other colleges, you may find this scene a bit scary.

But Harley is different, she likes snakes.

When Harley led Cassandra to a corridor, she stopped and looked at Cassandra for help:
"Where should we go now?"

Cassandra was a little angry:

"Why do you dare to take me running around when you clearly don't know the road!"

"Hey hehe~" Harley pretended to be silly and cute.

"This way."

Cassandra was a little helpless and couldn't scold her, so she pulled Harley away - from the beginning, Harley ran in the wrong direction. If she continued to lead the way, they would not be able to find the classroom before noon. !

As the only daughter of the Malfoy family, Cassandra has been to Hogwarts a long time ago.Although she was not very familiar with the terrain of Hogwarts, at least she knew the path from the Slytherin lounge to the classroom.

Under her leadership, the two girls arrived at their destination in just 5 minutes.

They arrived very early, and there were only five or six students scattered in the classroom.This made it easy for them to grab the best seats, in the middle of the first row, facing the podium.

"Will Ash come?" Harley asked expectantly.

"will not."

Cassandra placed the "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" on the table and replied somewhat glumly:

"We are Slytherin. If there are people from Gryffindor in the class with us, there can be no Ravenclaw. There will only be people from two houses at most in each class."

"It's really unfair. Ash is obviously the purest Slytherin!"

"Dumbledore must have secretly tampered with the results!"

Cassandra started to think about it again, and when she got the news that Ash would not come to class, Harley also had an uncontrollable look of disappointment on her face.

"Harry." She heard someone greet her.

"Hermione." Harry came back to his senses and greeted the girl with thick brown hair with a smile.

Hermione was also very happy and sat down next to them with her book in her arms.

"How is the Gryffindor lounge?" Harry asked curiously.

"not bad."

Hermione recalled it and described:
"The Gryffindor common room is behind a portrait of Gryffindor Tower. You have to give the correct password to enter. The common room is a comfortable round room filled with soft armchairs."

"There are two spiral staircases in the common room. The one on the left leads to the boys' dormitory, and the one on the right goes to the girls' dormitory."

"Where's Slytherin's?" Hermione was also curious.

Harry said excitedly: "You would never think that Slytherin's common room is behind a snake!"

"Snake..." Hermione opened her mouth, but she was no longer curious.

"Frogs are so cute," she thought, "compared to snakes."
-
Inside Professor McGonagall's office.

Ash could hear the girls' noise through the door, but he didn't rush out to say hello. Instead, he sat leisurely in the cushioned armchair and read a copy of the "Advanced Transfiguration Guide."

He came to see Professor McGonagall, but Professor McGonagall was not here, so he had to sit here and read a book and wait.

On Professor McGonagall's desk, a tabby cat was sitting upright and looking at him quietly.

Ash recognized the transformation of Professor McGonagall when he first entered the office, but since Professor McGonagall pretended that she wasn't there, Ash pretended not to recognize her, which didn't hurt anyway.

More and more students came to the classroom, which gradually made the classroom noisy.

Although most students whisper, when there are enough people, these whispers can become a chatter.

Ash raised his head and muttered to himself in confusion:

"There are two minutes until class starts. Why hasn't Professor McGonagall come yet?"

Hearing him talking to himself, the tabby cat on the desk suddenly jumped down and gradually 'transformed' in the air. In just a moment, it 'transformed' into an old lady standing next to Ash.

"Professor McGonagall?"

Ash stood up, his eyes full of surprise, as if he finally came to his senses:

"Are you an Animagus?"

"Mr. Black."

Professor McGonagall looked gentle and authentic:

"Professor Weasley told me about you."

Ash's face was solemn, his eyes were concerned, and he asked hesitantly:

"Professor Weasley, how is she doing in her later years?"

"She lived until 1950, when she died surrounded by her family."

Professor McGonagall's eyes looked a little nostalgic and said softly:
"I was her last student, and she often told me about you during my school years."

Professor McGonagall said with a somewhat complicated expression:

"Most of us have grown up listening to your legend. I should actually call you senior."

"but."

She paused and added:
"You are a freshman now, so you still have to call me professor."
