Hogwarts Mystery Sequence

"Without a doubt!"

"This is absolutely the right decision!"

After the Sorting Hat was announced, the auditorium was quiet for a second, and then the Slytherin table suddenly burst into loud applause.

Kassandra nodded her chin slightly to Professor McGonagall, then turned around, walking elegantly and proudly like a swan towards the long table where she was warmly welcomed.

Hermione, who was sitting at the Gryffindor table, trembling with anger, saw this scene and finally couldn't help shouting:

"She's really crazy!"

"How dare she?!"

But at this time, Harry was stunned and Ron was speechless.

So no one could respond to her questioning.

Seeing this, Hermione couldn't help but cast her eyes on Professor Dumbledore at the guest of honor, hoping that he could give Cassandra the punishment she deserved.

But to her disappointment, Dumbledore just narrowed his eyes slightly. After thinking for two seconds, he looked thoughtfully at Snape, who was at the bottom of the guest of honor seat.

Snape immediately noticed Dumbledore's gaze. He glanced at Dumbledore expressionlessly, then quickly stood up, leaving his seat with his cloak fluttering, and walked towards the Slytherin table.

He came all the way behind Cassandra who had just sat down, paused, and said in a voice without warmth:

"follow me."

After saying that, he walked directly to the door of the auditorium, seemingly not thinking that this bold new student who disrupted the sorting ceremony would not dare to follow him.

Kassandra glanced at Snape's quickly leaving figure with interest, then quickly withdrew her gaze, stood up with a slightly raised corner of her mouth, and gave a gentle salute to the Slytherins who were looking at her. Turn around and leave your seat.

Behind him, the Slytherin table burst into loud applause again.

······

In the office on the ground floor of the castle.

Hearing the sound of the door closing behind him, Snape suddenly turned his head, stared at Cassandra with his deep black eyes, and said sarcastically without mercy:

"Look who this is?"

“In front of all the professors, telling them how they should educate their first-year students?”

"It seems like another great person has come to this school!"

Cassandra sneered when she heard this, and asked calmly facing Snape's aggressive gaze:

"Professor, is there something wrong with what I said?"

Seeing her showing no intention of admitting her mistake, and even daring to contradict him, Snape's expression couldn't help but become more gloomy:

"Cynical boy, your biggest problem is that you are out of time!"

"Do you think you acted shrewdly during the Sorting Ceremony?"

"No, you will gain nothing except incurring the ill will of all the professors!"

As he spoke, Snape took two steps forward and continued in a very oppressive voice:

"On the contrary, have you ever thought about the consequences of offending all the professors at once?"

"If you can't get a good enough rating from them, then believe me, your life in Slytherin will be difficult!"

In response to Snape's threatening words, Cassandra's expression remained unchanged and she responded in a frivolous tone:

"I guess I don't need other people's approval to prove my superiority, Professor."

"Because it's obvious."

"If they don't agree with that, then they're either stupid or stupid."

"And for such a brainless person, I think a wand is more powerful than words."

"Besides." Cassandra paused and glanced at the sullen Snape, "I think Professor you have misunderstood something."

Snape still showed no emotion on his face.

But Cassandra didn't care very much. She flipped her golden hair and said in a matter-of-fact tone:

"I wasn't trying to express anything in that way, I was just asserting sovereignty."

"Tell those low-level guys that they can't get even a cent of anything that belongs to me!"

"To me, that's more important than assessing the situation."

Hearing this, Snape couldn't help but sneer twice, then stared closely at Cassandra's emerald eyes that were shining even in the dim environment, and said word by word:

"I hope you will remember what you are saying now."

"There will be a long time in the future, please let me wait and see, Miss Sovereignty."

In response, Cassandra said calmly with the corners of her mouth slightly raised:

"My name is Cassandra, Professor."

"Very good." Snape spat out one word with a cold expression.

After saying that, he walked around Cassandra and opened the door and left, leaving Cassandra alone.

······

When Snape returned to the Great Hall, he happened to meet Professor McGonagall walking out of the hall holding the Sorting Hat and a three-legged stool.

At this time, Dumbledore stood up and spoke:

"Welcome to you, and welcome back to Hogwarts in the new school year. I have a few things to say, because one of them is more serious. I want to say it before you are attracted by the rich dinner."

He cleared his throat and continued:

"As you have recently learned, the wizarding world is not stable right now, so to protect everyone, Aurors from the Ministry of Magic will be guarding the gates from today on."

"During this period, I solemnly declare that no one is allowed to leave the school without permission..."

Dumbledore's words instantly caused discussions among the young wizards present.

But it wasn't because they were panicking.

In fact, there are many people in the British wizarding community who doubt the authenticity of the 'Mysterious Man''s comeback, even though the news was published by the Ministry of Magic in the Daily Prophet.

Because, since this shocking news was released, the entire magical world has been calm.

Except for the Aurors who were searching everywhere, there was no sign of the 'Mysterious Man''s comeback at all.

In addition, the actions of the Ministry of Magic have disturbed the normal lives of many people.

As a result, the number of people questioning it began to increase.

Slowly, this emotion and perspective naturally affected many young wizards.

Therefore, when they heard about Aurors moving into Hogwarts, their first reaction was not to panic, but to resent being unable to leave school.

However, they only complained to each other.

Even when they had a delicious dinner, this depression had completely disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, the hall was filled with voices, laughter, and the clinking of knives and forks.

When no one was paying attention, Dumbledore had quietly left the auditorium and went to Snape's underground office with Snape.

But when they saw the empty room in front of them, they couldn't help but become silent.

Dumbledore's eyes behind his half-moon glasses suddenly became dark, and he calmly glanced around the room twice.

Next to him, Snape's face was so gloomy that he could drip water, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

······

In the underground chamber.

Cassandra glanced at Amon who was sitting at the table reading a book, then glanced around the small research room, frowned slightly and said:

"Do I have to hide in this sewer like a mouse?"

"You can also choose to stay in the Room of Requirement. I have no objection." Amon said without looking back.

"Tsk." Cassandra made a frustrated "tsk" sound, then took a deep breath slowly and leaned on a table, "So, why do you need to suddenly adjust your plan?"

After hearing this, Amon stood up, turned to Cassandra, stroked the crystal monocle on his right eye, and said with a smile:

"There are always some unexpected 'surprises' in life."

"Surprise? I think it's a shock!"

Cassandra sneered without giving any face:

"I didn't expect that the day you missed would come so quickly."

In response to her ridicule, Amon nodded calmly and smiled:

"So, I'm changing quickly to deal with it."

"Moreover, a person who attracted the attention of all the teachers and students in the school during the opening ceremony suddenly disappeared. Doesn't it sound interesting?" He added with interest.

Cassandra glanced sideways at Amon:

"In exchange, I will become a sewer rat."

Amon nodded with a smile:

"But that's your business, not mine."
