HP in the name of Slytherin

It has been a few months since she first met Dumbledore. During these months, Catherine did not go out often. In addition to buying daily necessities, she spent more time reading the thick "Hogwarts: A Campus". history".

The author of every few paragraphs of this book is different. Just as the cover introduction says, it records most of the history of Hogwarts and even the wizarding world so far.

From this, Catherine can correspond to many of the memories Dumbledore gave her, and they overlap.

Later, Catherine quietly went out and followed the two parts of memories to find Knockturn Alley, which was frequented by dark wizards. There, she randomly selected a lucky wizard who had evil intentions against her and Haierbo, and read similar memories after Legilimency.

The three confirmed that, at least in terms of the memory given to her, Dumbledore was indeed fair.

As for the lucky dark wizard whose spirit was shattered by her, he became a fool from then on... It can only be said that ancient magic has indeed become very violent now. In the past, most Muggles could become fools, but now even the more powerful dark wizards are not immune. .

People disappear and accidents happen in Knockturn Alley every day. Catherine is afraid of Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic, and makes sure that she cleans up the mess very cleanly.

In this way, her behavior is indeed very similar to the stereotype of Slytherin - suspicious, unscrupulous, and violating the law.

By the way, this stereotype comes from "Hogwarts: A History of the School".

The position of this history book often changes due to different authors. Sometimes it calls wizards noble, sometimes it praises the progress of Muggles, sometimes it says Ravenclaw is extremely smart, and sometimes it says Gryffindor is brave and fearless.

Anyway, there are very few descriptions of Slytherin, and in just a few words, Catherine is also given a complex image of being proud, indifferent, and scheming.

Compared with the statements of the other three houses, which are obviously biased towards light and justice, the description of Slytherin House is much more obscure. Catherine can probably analyze some of the reasons by combining the three sources of information.

Because Slytherin prefers pure-blood wizards, half-bloods are considered at the bottom there, let alone Muggles and Muggles.

There is indeed class and discrimination within it. These phenomena that should not occur in the school are the default rules of Slytherin House, and their source points directly to the founder Salazar.

Since most of the students are ancient pure-bloods, their influence in the wizarding world is deeply rooted. While they hold power, they also have a profound influence on Slytherin College, Hogwarts, and even the wizarding world.

They like to be infinitely elevated and hate being the same as everyone else. They feel offended that they are written down in a book for others to analyze.

boast? There is something really wrong with this college. scold? I don’t dare. We might as well just blur it out.

However, in recent years, a great wizard named Voldemort has become famous. In the name of being a descendant of Slytherin, he has gathered quite a lot of power while still in school. Last year, he even began to recruit troops blatantly, seeming to make a big difference in the wizarding world. A big undertaking.

Under the influence of him and his supporters, Slytherin House, which was originally hidden in the dark and most whispered about in private, was now directly put on the stage and became synonymous with radicals and dark wizards.

This last point was deduced by Catherine after reading the memory of the dark wizard. This dark wizard graduated from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He came all the way to England just to follow Voldemort and do great things together.

To be honest, Catherine doesn't like this kind of politics affecting the school. Muggles think education is a political tool, but there are only so many people in the wizarding world. Serious spells and magical creations have not been advanced in recent years, and they still want to engage in political struggles. ?

Is it really reasonable for the legendary descendant of Slytherin to form a high-pressure group and bully his classmates in school?

Most importantly, why is Slytherin House bound to you, Voldemort?

On her desk was the admission notice that had just been sent to Hogwarts. Along with it was an invitation from Dumbledore, asking her to sit in the principal's office one week after enrolling.

This is good. If he doesn't look for Catherine, Catherine will look for him after observing for a period of time.

"Let's go, Halpo." Catherine sealed the reply letter and stretched out her hand for Halpo to climb up.

When the little basilisk heard the call, he quickly let go of the drumstick in his mouth, climbed into Catherine's hand and coiled himself into a plate, "Where are you going, Master?"

Catherine said as she walked out: "Go to Diagon Alley and buy some things for school."

The little basilisk that was put into the pocket immediately cheered: "Okay! Haierbo wants to eat the extra-large ice cream from Florin's Cold Drink Shop!"

Catherine kept walking, with a helpless expression but a very gentle tone, "Yes, but Haierbo must be good and stop drooling at the owl in the pet shop."

The little basilisk licked the candy in his pocket and made a delicate sound, "Helbo is not drooling, Helbo is making money for his master~"

"You reminded me," Catherine clapped her hands and called Amy, "Helpo lost the snake scales some time ago."

The elf bowed and presented a large wooden box with only a snake scale inside. After using the shrinking spell, it only looked 20 inches, but it still weighed the real thing.

"Helpo, don't scratch your scales intentionally next time." Catherine criticized again.

The little basilisk hummed and arched its body, reluctantly indicating that it understood.

Catherine hugged the wooden box and took Herbo to apparate to Knockturn Alley.

At this time, she already looked like an adult, wearing a thick black hood and a featureless black cloak, and walked straight into the largest store here.

"Welcome to Bojin Bok Magic Store~" the young owner's greeting was friendly and smooth.

Catherine didn't say anything and put Herbo's snake scales on the counter.

"Oh~" The boss rubbed his hands cheerfully, put on a pair of old gloves, and put on big glasses on his face that looked like goggles in the Muggle world.

The wooden box was opened, and the snake scale immediately grew in size after leaving the box, turning into its original size of fifty or sixty inches. It was so heavy that the boss took two steps back.

The expression on his face became happier because of this, and he sighed repeatedly: "I didn't expect that you could really get the scales of the basilisk, so complete! So shiny! This size is really a wonder!"

After Catherine's treatment, the scales turned out to be an ominous dark green, similar to the scales of ordinary basilisks.

Even if it is an ordinary basilisk, the young Mr. Burke still can't put it down, "My dad will definitely like this collection. He is a loyal Slytherin, you know~"

As he spoke, he pointed to the numerous snake decorations in the room.

Catherine's voice was magically blurred and became as hoarse as a crow, "Money."

"300 galleons," Mr. Bock took out a bag full of gold galleons from the cabinet, "to honor the treasure and our friendship."

"Yeah." Catherine accepted the money, waved her hand and left.

Little Borgin Burke couldn't hear the cheers of the provider of snake scales who had shrunk countless times. Haierbo's mind was filled with food and the joy of making money for his master. He even screamed when he apparated, "Helbo's scales can be sold for 300 ~Yeah~”

It probably thinks that this way it won't deplete its owner and everything will be fine.

But Merlin knew which decent girl would forcefully sell jewelry and pet scraps to make a living!

The snake god's coffin board can no longer hold it down!

Catherine has been afraid to talk to her father recently for fear that he will find her behavior embarrassing and delete her from the family tree.

At present, she has obtained 7.2 pounds from the black boss in the Muggle world, which is about 1.44 gold galleons. Catherine did not exchange all of it, but put most of it to the Muggle bank to earn interest.

I made 700 by selling Herbo's saliva (venom, but it is not effective on Catherine) and the scales just now. Catherine will not move the money. This is the last stubbornness of the owner.

After deducting Helbo's money, Catherine still had 1.39 Galleons on hand - well, she only spent less than 200 Galleons, and the rest was all spent on raising Helbo.

After eating nearly 30,000 pounds in a few months, I can only say that I never stopped eating, but I was never full.

Catherine is planning to open a shop in Diagon Alley, the most prosperous place in the wizarding world. She now has the funds, but the products are a headache. Currently, she only has the best experience in making magic scrolls, but this business seems to be outdated now.

When she first went to Borgin Burke's shop, Catherine wanted to sell the scroll, but the price was almost no profit after deducting the cost. She also heard a lot of legendary stories about the Slytherin heir who once worked for him.

Isn't this a coincidence? Slytherin's daughter also sold you something.

Damn, speaking of the Slytherin heir, he was doing better than Catherine. Catherine went around in a circle, changed her clothes and went to Diagon Alley again. As soon as she landed, her face was covered with leaflets.

"Long live magic! Long live wizards!"

"Long live the Dark Lord! Long live the purebloods!"

The procession in black robes walked, shouted, and dropped leaflets. Hogwarts was about to start school at this time, and Diagon Alley was more lively than ever. Many people hid in the store to watch, and some followed directly to the end of the procession. .

For example, a little boy with light yellow hair and a little boy with black hair, both of whom looked to be less than 11 years old, chased each other all the way, shouting especially loudly.

The descendant of their family: the Dark Lord, with many followers.

Her ancestor: a jobless vagrant, selling basilisk waste.

Catherine felt breathless when she thought of this. She had to find a way to make money in a more serious and honorable way!
