HP in the name of Slytherin

"Why...don't you like me..." At the last moment, there was still only confusion in its tone, "Obviously...at first...you liked..."

"In the name of Catherine Slytherin," "Catherine" held the sword tightly, her hands trembling, "I contract you to be my dependent, give you the name Halbo, and give me everything you have. Are you willing?" willing!"

The serpentine god lay on the ground, groaning weakly in pain.

The voice became softer.

It understands nothing at all.

Although it hurts, compared to the long and debilitating torture, this fatal injury is as worthless as a mosquito bite.

She freed it.

"Catherine" let go of her hand, lowered her eyes and said, "If you are willing, I like you."

When the dying snake-like god came out of her mouth with the word "like", she jumped up and said without knowing the pain: "I would like...ah..."

"Helbo!" Catherine opened her eyes suddenly and looked to her side hurriedly. She saw the little white basilisk rolled up in a small circle with its eyes closed and moaning continuously.

In the dim bedroom at night, it emits soft white fluorescence like a night light, as quiet and beautiful as in a dream.

Catherine stretched out her hand to pick it up and hold it in her arms. She stroked its head and called it, "Helbo, wake up." 】

Her heart ached a little, but it wasn't all psychological "distress". It was more that the sacrificed memories were transmitted to her on the same frequency due to Haierbo's dream. The law was warning her not to violate the rules in this way.

The one who was really punished was Haierbo in the dream.

[It hurts...] Haierbo was held limply by Catherine, crying and making a weak sound, [It hurts...]

This is natural. Dumbledore has tried it. If he continues like this, he will probably die!

[If you don’t wake up, I won’t like you anymore, Haierbo! 】

[Woo...] The little basilisk trembled and slowly opened its eyes.

The heartache suddenly disappeared.

The little basilisk blinked blankly and got up unsteadily, [Ugh, Haierbo, I'm dreaming. 】

Seeing Catherine's worried look, the little basilisk immediately came up to her and said coquettishly: "I want a hug from my master~"

Then he added in a low voice, "And eat chicken legs." 】

Catherine:…

Severus was also awakened:...

[Are you a fool, Haierbo? 】Catherine couldn't help crying and laughing.

Halbo climbed up to Catherine's neck and rubbed her cheek lovingly, [Helbo seems to be dreaming about his master~]

Catherine paused imperceptibly while touching it, and asked as if unintentionally: "What are you dreaming about?" 】

[It seems like I dreamed about the first time I saw the master,] Haierbo said happily, [The master originally wanted to kill Haierbo, but luckily he didn’t~]

Catherine asked dryly: [Do you always remember this? 】

[I didn’t remember it at first, but I remembered it a little bit when I was eating Medusa in the afternoon.] Haierbo flicked his tail easily, and bursts of happy emotions passed through him, [I dreamed about it again just now, seeing the owner from a long time ago. Hehe~]

Catherine was speechless for a while, and finally found her voice amidst Halbo's coquettish hum of "I'm hungry," [Fortunately, Halbo listened to his master's words. 】

In order not to let Helbo see her strange expression, Catherine brought it to the small coffee table.

There are always some snacks here, because Helbo likes to rest with Catherine. His sleep is very fragmented, and sometimes he wakes up when he is too hungry to eat something before going back.

Catherine brought it to the table and gave it a chicken leg from the small bag. Haierbo was so happy that his tail flicked out.

She didn't want Haierbo to find out something was wrong with her, so she pretended to go back to rest and cut off the communication between them again.

"Its time in its long slumber was already numbered," Salazar said suddenly. "The snake god was one of the first gods to leave. This world no longer needs a god, and his descendants may not need it either. , if you don’t show up, it will die, and if someone else shows up, it will die too. The way it is now is the price it deserves to die but you forcibly brought it back with a contract.”

This kind of stupid look that will never grow up is the price of Haierbo's continued existence.

Catherine's thin body trembled, as if she was cold, and she slowly groped her way to sit on the bed, "I...have no regrets..."

If she had to choose again, Catherine would still enter the veil, or she would try to kill Haierbo to seize his position as a god, or... she would bind them together with a contract when Haierbo behaves like this.

"You don't realize the point at all, Catherine." After stripping away all emotions, Salazar's words only sounded sarcastic and disappointing to Catherine.

She subconsciously grabbed the soft quilt under her hand and was about to force herself to calm down when she suddenly heard Haierbo's curious voice beside her, "Is it the voice of Salazar's father?" 】

Catherine was horrified. Herbo had never heard Salazar's voice before!

【Helbo, what are you doing...】

Before she could finish her words, she paused suddenly, her expression almost losing control.

The next second, as if responding to her guess, another hesitant voice appeared in her mind: "That...Miss Catherine..."

Why can Severus summon her directly!

[I, uh... good evening, Mr. Slytherin,] Severus' voice was also extremely tangled, [I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you. 】

Salazar snorted and disappeared.

Catherine shrank back onto the bed, clutching her temples.

Haierbo climbed onto the bed and circled Catherine's head: [Master, what's wrong with you? Does your head feel uncomfortable? Haierbo gives you a sticker? 】

As he said that, he put his cold little head on it.

Catherine looked at the bed curtain with blank eyes, [It's okay. 】

It doesn't matter, isn't it, what happened just now was seen by father, Herbo, and Severus?

With the contract in place, she could actually feel that Herbo and Severus had no negative feelings about the dream and what happened just now.

She just...

I just feel embarrassed.

Oh, and it felt like Severus was embarrassed too.

"It's okay, father doesn't hate you," Catherine rubbed her temples and braced herself to comfort, "He was unhappy that I was so unguarded after waking up. I should have discovered that there was something wrong with our contract earlier." 】

It should be that Haierbo had changed after his transformation, but when she checked Haierbo, no problem was found, and Haierbo couldn't explain any changes in himself.

The little basilisk felt that Catherine's mood was gradually stabilizing. He put his little head out and hung it above Catherine's head. He whispered: "The master is fine. How about going to eat something?" 】

【go Go. 】Catherine rubbed its little clever head.

Fortunately, only Severus and Catherine had concluded the highest contract, otherwise two more people would have been awakened in Slytherin House tonight.

[I originally...] Catherine took a deep breath and said to Severus, [I was injured a bit, and entered the curtain in order to restore the magic power. The original intention was indeed to kill Herbo. 】

Severus listened quietly. He knew very well that he was probably the most confused about the truth of today's strange dream.

In fact, it would be fine if Catherine didn't explain. At most, he knew that Catherine had also killed her favorite Halbo... He believed that Catherine had her own reasons, not to mention that she finally stopped. What Mr. Slytherin said to Catherine just now …

It was both comforting Catherine and warning him.

I don’t fully understand it, but it sounds like Helbo was going to die, but Catherine suddenly changed her mind and contracted it, and that’s why there was a little basilisk that was eating snacks at this late night.

...Speaking of which, can this guy change his taste? It’s so boring to eat so many puffs at night. Severus was speechless.
