Save the world from Hogwarts

Chapter 20 First Meeting

Draco's platinum-blonde hair sparkled in the sunlight, and the broken hair scattered around his ears fluttered in the breeze, and his whole person exuded a glow of confidence.

Hermione looked at him uncertainly: "Draco, Seamus was as confident as you before playing chess with Ron."

Seamus is also a first-year Gryffindor student and is roommate with Ron.

"Hehe," Ron smiled like a cat that had stolen something. "When Seamus played chess with me for the first time, he swore he would beat me. But he lost miserably in the end."

Lin Zhen suddenly looked at Ron with admiration.

"Yes," Hermione looked at Ron with admiration, "Seamus and Ron played five games in a row. Ron won four games and tied one. I think Seamus was so shocked that he almost doubted his life. "

"Hahaha," Ron said with a proud face and his chest puffed out, "Later, Seamus borrowed my wizard chess and played against other classmates, and he won them all."

"Humph" Draco was not shaken by these words at all, "That's because you Gryffindors are too weak."

They laid out the chess game, and Ron and Draco sat opposite each other, looking solemn.Lin Zhen and Hermione sat at the other ends, watching the battle quietly.

Knowing that Lin Zhen had never been exposed to wizard chess, Ron and Draco explained the rules to Lin Zhen.

The Wizard's chess board consists of 64 interlaced black and white squares of the same size. Each player in the game has 16 chess pieces. One side holds the white piece, and the other side holds the black piece. The white piece goes first.Whoever "checkmates" the opponent's king first wins.

This is somewhat similar to how Chinese chess is played, but not quite the same.When Lin Zhen was Jia Baoyu, she had a good relationship with King Beijing.King Beijing was keen on sensuality. He not only loved listening to ditties, but also liked to find people to play chess and compare notes.He was obviously a bad chess player but didn't know it. He always thought that just improving his chess skills would be enough. He even went through a lot of trouble to find the plum blossom score and took Lin Zhen to study it every three days.Lin Zhen was not very good at chess, but she was barely able to compete with someone like King Beijing.

Lin Zhen carefully observed Draco and Ron's chess moves.Although it was his first time to come into contact with Wizard Chess, after their explanation, he already had a general understanding of the rules of the game.

He noticed that Draco's chess-playing style was somewhat similar to his aristocratic spirit.He likes to test carefully first, then make a smooth layout, and then deliver a thunderous blow.Like a poisonous snake, it silently forces its prey into a corner and then attacks in anger.

Ron's chess style was very different from his usual personality.Sometimes he is rampant, just like Gryffindor's brave way; sometimes he is patient and observant, like a hunting lion, calm and patiently lurking.

They played slower and slower. At first they could still concentrate on explaining to Lin Zhen, but now they were all concentrating on thinking about countermeasures.

"Rook, move forward three spaces." Ron gave the order to his chess piece after thinking twice.

Ron's "car" obediently moved forward three spaces and came to Draco's "back". The "back" drew out the sword from his waist and slashed at the "car" with all his strength. The "car" was eliminated.

But Draco didn't relax, he was still thinking with his head down.After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "After that, walk diagonally two spaces."

The "rear" who had just shown his power did not say a word and seriously marched two squares diagonally forward.

As soon as the "Queen" stopped, Ron immediately ordered: "Soldiers, move forward one square."

Draco's delicate eyebrows knitted together, and his beautiful gray-blue eyes looked at the chessboard without blinking.A long time passed before Draco said: "Bishop, move one square to the right."

"Hahahahaha" Ron burst into laughter as soon as Draco's chess piece was settled.His red hair was as bright as fire.

"Later, move forward four spaces. General" Ron shouted excitedly.

Draco looked at the chessboard carefully, and after a while, he surrendered dejectedly.

"Ah hahahaha," Ron laughed wildly, "I, Ron Weasley, am the invincible opponent in the whole school."

"Don't be too proud, Ron." Hermione said coolly from the side.

"Hmph," Draco adjusted his collar and said unconvinced, "Let's compete again next time."

"Who are you afraid of?" Ron responded arrogantly.

Everyone laughed.

In the rematch of Quidditch, Ravenclaw lost to Slytherin as expected.In two weeks, Slytherin will face Gryffindor again for the Quidditch Cup.

Draco provoked Ron several times and competed with Ron in wizard chess again and again.Repeated defeats and repeated battles, repeated battles and repeated defeats.Lin Zhen admired Draco's perseverance.

"You can't beat me, Draco." Ron stuck out his tongue and made a face, desperately in need of a beating.

Draco had a stinky face, pouted his lips, and said angrily: "One day, I will beat you."

Hermione looked at him and laughed "hehe".

In addition to going to the cellar every Wednesday night for his potions tutorials, Lin Zhen would sneak into the potions professor's office to check the progress of his potions during the rest of the course time, as long as he was not with Draco and the others. , and by the way, brush up the Potions Professor's favorability.

On this day, Lin Zhen took advantage of the time when there was no class in the afternoon and came to the door of the Potions Office again.

"Good afternoon, Harry." Medusa curled her tail enchantingly, "Here comes your Potions Master again."

"Good afternoon, Medusa." Lin Zhen responded with a smile, "Is Professor Snape in there?"

"You'd better not go in now." Medusa cast a flirtatious look at Lin Zhen, with a seductive angle on her lips. "Professor Snape is receiving a guest, a very beautiful guest."

Lin Zhen raised her eyebrows, half-smiling: "Then, the even more beautiful Miss Medusa, would you like to tell me who that beautiful guest is?"

Medusa circled around the doorknob, quietly unlocked the door, then turned back and smiled coquettishly: "Come and see for yourself."

Lin Zhen smiled helplessly. Medusa became more and more familiar with him. She liked to tease him when chatting, but she always took the initiative to help him open the door of Professor Snape's office, no matter whether Snape was inside or not. What was Snape doing in there.

Once or twice, he entered the office unsuspectingly and saw Snape in his bathrobe, covered with the heat of just taking a shower.Snape obviously didn't expect anyone to be able to enter his locked office at will. He even sealed the fireplace before taking a bath.He had just stepped out of the hidden door. Lin Zhen guessed that the door led to Snape's bedroom. He saw Lin Zhen standing dumbly in the office unprepared. He cursed in a low voice and turned around to open the small door. When I walked in, the door was slammed with a loud bang.

What a deceitful Medusa.Lin Zhen thought.

Today Medusa might want to play tricks on him again.Lin Zhen was secretly happy. He was happy to see Snape who was different from usual. Now he was also curious about what the "beauty" that Medusa could praise looked like.

Heart of beauty in everyone.Lin Zhen thought so, stepped lightly, and opened the office door with a bang.

Medusa covered her mouth and snickered, then crawled away quietly.

Lin Zhen saw Professor Snape sitting on the big sofa in front of the fireplace, glaring at him.Sitting on the sofa facing the door was an elegant man.

Lin Zhen felt that all the words to praise beauty could not be overstated when used on this man.

No wonder even Medusa called him "Beauty".Lin Zhen secretly thought that those who said they hated him and thought he was evil must be because he was so beautiful.Lin Zhen allowed herself to be superficial occasionally.

"Damn it," Snape said in a harsh tone, "Don't the Saviors know that you have to knock first when entering someone else's room?"

Lin Zhen laughed sarcastically: "Sorry, Professor."

Then he turned around and closed the door, locking it together.

Snape glared at him angrily, and he smiled reassuringly at Snape, then walked over to the empty sofa and sat down gracefully.

Lin Zhen showed a graceful and elegant smile and said to the guest with long platinum hair: "Good evening, Mr. Malfoy."

Malfoy looked at him nonchalantly: "Good evening, Mr. Potter."

Snape looked a little annoyed.

"Nice to meet you." Lin Zhen said in a personable manner, "I wonder if Draco has mentioned me to you. I've been looking for an opportunity to talk to you."

Malfoy leaned forward with interest: "Xiaolong often writes to me and tells me that he and you get along very well. He wants to invite you to Malfoy Manor during the summer vacation. I think you will receive his invitation tomorrow. .”

Lin Zhen smiled and nodded.Malfoy stood up, "I think it's time for me to leave, Severus. It's been a great conversation tonight."

Snape watched impassively as Malfoy disappeared from the fireplace.

"Potter" Snape gritted his teeth, and angry flames shot out from his bright black eyes, like an angry lion, "How dare you?"

Lin Zhen tilted her head and looked at Snape calmly.

"This is something we have to face sooner or later, Professor." Lin Zhen said calmly, "Draco and I are good friends."

"But Malfoy is a Death Eater" Snape's voice was louder than usual due to anger.

"You too, professor. But you didn't hurt me." Lin Zhen smiled, "Don't worry, I can handle it."

"You think all Death Eaters are like me, you stupid, arrogant, random Potter"

Lin Zhen looked at Snape fondly. Although Snape always treated him with cold eyes, he knew that Snape always cared about him.Snape, who cared about him so kindly, looked like an awkward child to him.

"Stop that disgusting look on your face," Snape growled.

Lin Zhen shrugged her shoulders, raised her hand and threw a ball of light towards the fireplace, covering the entire fireplace.

Snape looked at him in surprise, frowning: "What kind of Potter is this?"

Lin Zhen didn't answer him, and casually threw another ball of light at the office door.
