HP in the name of Slytherin

After Salazar left, Catherine continued to travel with Lily and Snape. They said they were two traveling companions. In fact, Snape basically didn't speak, and Catherine mainly listened to Lily.

She is indeed a little wizard of Muggle origin and knows a lot about the Muggle world. When talking about the wizarding world and Hogwarts, she is full of pure curiosity and expectation.

As "Hogwarts: A School History" says, what little wizard wouldn't look forward to Hogwarts?

Later, the three of them read a book together. Because they didn't know how to sort into different schools, they always felt that it was always good to learn more knowledge. Lily guessed that they might take exams and be assigned to different schools based on performance, just like schools in the Muggle world.

The strange thing is that Dumbledore didn't give Catherine this memory, so Catherine also read the book together.

She, Catherine Slytherin, must enter Slytherin House!

During this period, a black-haired boy came over to see if there was a seat. Seeing that there were already three people here, still reading quietly, he did not come in.

Later in the evening, Snape went out and asked Lily and Catherine to change clothes in the small box. Lily was extremely curious when she saw Halbo crawling out of Catherine's pocket and then crawling into the pocket of the little wizard's robe.

Unfortunately it was late and they had to get off the car and go to school.

"It doesn't matter, you can come and see it tomorrow. Haierbo is a greedy little guy. Now hand it to you. If you don't let it eat, it will be unhappy." Catherine comforted Lily.

"Okay, can I also bring some food to Haierbo tomorrow?" Lily asked expectantly. Obviously, she wanted to ask more about whether she could feed him.

She saw a small silver-white strip of Haierbo, with scales so bright that they seemed to sparkle. There were also strange black gems and small black fluff on the top of its head, and she was full of curiosity about this magical pet at first sight.

Catherine nodded, "Yes, Haierbo will get along well with you."

Snape didn't know what Harbo was, and he didn't ask Lily in front of Catherine. He didn't seem to have that much unnecessary curiosity.

There was a furry half-giant on the station platform who called himself Hagrid and led them to school.

From a distance, you can see Hogwarts Castle lit up in the night in the mountains and forests, like a beacon guiding lost travelers.

As freshmen, they have to walk together the path that the founders walked.

This statement made Catherine feel very romantic. She walked in a row with Lily and Snape, and there was a shy girl next to her. She listened to the social butterfly Lily chatting with the girl. Her name was Caredi Bubbaji. .

The group of people walked all the way holding lanterns, and finally came to a large dark lake.

The school is already very close, so we should take a boat next because there are many stops on the lake.

Hagrid greeted from the shore: "Four people in a small boat! Don't want too many people, and don't want too few people, you won't want to fall off!"

The four of them naturally go together.

The position just now was with Catherine on the far right, Snape on the left, Lily next to Snape, and Bubbaji on the far left.

Due to Snape's intentional or unintentional obstruction, Lily did not have time to introduce the two of them to new friends. After boarding the ship, she immediately acted as a matchmaker, "Caridi, this is my old friend Severus Snape." , the first little wizard I met! This is my new friend Catherine Slytherin, the second little wizard I met!"

In the innocent world of children, descendants of Slytherin and ancient pure-blood families are all imaginary. What Lily values ​​​​most is the specialness of "the first acquaintance" and the "second acquaintance".

But obviously Bubba Ji is not as innocent as Lily, who was fine when she heard Snape's name, but immediately shrank when she heard Catherine's name.

The sky was a little dark, and their boat automatically followed Hagrid's boat towards Hogwarts Castle without wind. Lily was attracted by this magical scene, so she didn't see Bubbaji move away from Catherine a little bit. .

Catherine did not force her. After getting along with Snape all the way, she found that the children in the wizarding world had realized what the surname "Slytherin" meant.

They generally respect and then stay away from her.

"Hello." Catherine nodded gently to Bubaji.

Bubaji whispered like a little quail: "H-hello..."

Lily seemed to sense something was wrong in the atmosphere, and just as she was about to say something, Snape pointed under the boat, "Look, there's a big squid down there."

"Hey? Where is it?" Lily's attention was immediately attracted, and she looked out from the side of the boat.

The boat swayed due to her movements, and Bubaji immediately grabbed her: "Be careful, don't fall."

This would have been a very ordinary scene, if they had not secretly glanced at Catherine.

She really wasn't going to kick Lily out just because she rocked the boat.

Catherine leaned against the side of the boat and rubbed her forehead, pretending not to see anything.

Even though they were traveling together on the Hogwarts Express, and Catherine had always been very kind to Lily and shared Amy's cookies with her, Snape would still subconsciously protect Lily.

Lily's Muggle ancestry made Snape always have delusions of persecution when he faced Catherine. Catherine didn't know if he had read the Daily Prophet a few days ago.

Four days ago, the Slytherin descendant's men, a group calling themselves Death Eaters, clashed with Muggle wizards in Diagon Alley, causing several Muggle wizards to enter St. Mungo's.

Catherine didn't like the vulgar language and cruel methods, but she didn't explain repeatedly that it had nothing to do with her. She didn't know the person and had different views.

Her last name was Slytherin, which was enough to make some young wizards wary.

Realizing this, Catherine's slightly excited mood calmed down again.

She was following her father's footsteps to Hogwarts, but her father must not have thought about completely isolating her college from the other three colleges when he established the school...or rather, being isolated by them.

After getting off the boat, the four of them were still standing together, and their positions had not changed. Lily looked around, talking to Bubbaji for a while, talking to Snape for a while, and interacting with Catherine for fear that she would be left out, like a carefree bird. little oriole.

Catherine put one hand in her pocket and rubbed Haierbo's little head, feeling that everything was okay.

Hagrid brought the little wizards to the front of the castle, and they were led by a sorcerer wearing dark wizard robes with a very serious expression.

Hagrid called her "Professor McGonagall", and the witch introduced herself as "Minerva McGonagall, Professor of Transfiguration and Vice-Principal".

She looked serious, and the little wizards became quiet under her gaze, and followed her obediently, not daring to whisper below.

Hogwarts Castle is very big, even bigger than Herbo Castle before it was shrunk. There are pearl-white ghosts walking around in it. They look at the little wizards curiously, and the little wizards also look at them with curiosity.

Due to the pressure of Professor McGonagall, the little wizards did not dare to make loud noises, but the ghosts were not afraid. They waved and shouted: "See you in the auditorium~"

With that said, he flew directly into the wall, causing a suppressed exclamation from the little wizards.

As Lily said, Snape didn't like to interact with the outside world. Even Catherine was looking at those ghosts, but he only stared at Professor McGonagall with bright eyes, as if he wanted to separate from the house immediately and start studying.

At this time, Catherine didn't know why, but when all the little wizards stood together, Catherine would probably feel a little bit.

All the little wizards were wearing brand-new wizard robes, which were crisp and neat under the light of the lights. Only Snape, whose wizard robe was one degree lighter than everyone else, looked like it had faded after being washed many times.

Humans often don't like aliens, just like Muggles in the long past hated wizards, and today's well-dressed young wizards don't like Snape who is obviously wearing second-hand wizard robes.

To be honest, it's a bit tasteless, because I'm prejudiced against people because of their clothes and appearance.

But it would not be arrogant to forcefully correct everyone's views and make them consistent with one's own, so Catherine chose to remain silent, but stood by Snape's side with Lily.

This little guy had seen how crazy the supporters of the Slytherin heir in Diagon Alley were, and he could still protect his friend when facing her, a serious Slytherin. Catherine felt that he was pretty good.

Professor McGonagall introduced to the children in front of a closed door: "We will enter this door later and gather with senior classmates and professors of all disciplines. But before taking your seats, we will assign your houses , respectively Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin..."

Lily noticed that someone was looking at her, and when she looked sideways, she saw a boy with glasses and messy hair.

Looking a little cute, she smiled politely at the other person.

The other party immediately responded with a brighter smile, looking very sunny.

This smile dissipated part of Lily's nervousness. She hoped that Sev next to her was not nervous either. Unfortunately, when she turned to look at Sev, he only stared at Professor McGonagall in silence.

It seemed that only she and Caridi were nervous, and Catherine was also very calm.

Lily reflected on herself and became more confident. She even shook Caridi's cold little hand, trying to reassure her not to be afraid.

When she was distracted, Professor McGonagall's introduction had ended. Lily was startled and suddenly worried that she had missed something important.

But the door opened, and the decoration inside instantly stole her attention.
