HP in the name of Slytherin

On the first day of class, Catherine was one of the first to go to the hall for breakfast. There was no way she could help it. Even though she estimated Haierbo's appetite and left enough food for it, the little basilisk accidentally ate too fast.

In the end, Haierbo chose the latter between secretly eating the tail and making his owner angry, or causing the owner to get up thirty minutes early.

While Catherine was eating her last dessert, Lily and Snape arrived.

The little red-haired witch's steps were brisk, clicking like a brisk wind, which made Snape behind him look haggard and slow.

"Good morning Katherine," Lily said from Katherine's side.

"Good morning, Lily," Catherine put down her knife and fork and said good morning to her, and then said to Snape gently, "Good morning, Snape."

Snape lowered his head and said, "Good morning, Miss Slytherin."

In addition to her, there were four or five young wizards at the Slytherin table, scattered in several places and it was hard to tell which grade they were from.

Catherine glanced around and found that she had not seen these people in the common room yesterday.

Now seeing her greeting Lily and Snape, the young wizards pretended not to notice and only focused on eating their own breakfast.

Lily found a seat behind Catherine and sat down. She saw that each house was sitting at its own long table. Although she wanted to join her friends, she still didn't go directly to the Slytherin table.

"How were you all last night? I heard people say that Slytherin students are a little... strict." She asked quietly.

Snape's hand holding the bread paused.

He didn't get too close to Catherine, keeping a distance, and the three of them formed a triangle.

In fact, you can tell the clues from this seat. Unfortunately, Lily doesn't know the internal details of Slytherin. She just thinks that Snape is introverted and slow, and he is not familiar with Catherine.

"Fortunately," Catherine said with a smile, "It's not a big problem. My surname is Slytherin after all."

She couldn't say it directly: Lily, it's really inappropriate for you to say in front of a Slytherin that Slytherin students are difficult to get along with.

But such a subtle reminder seems a bit difficult to understand for a simple little wizard, so Lily believed it directly, "That's good, I saw Sif yesterday..."

Snape interrupted her as if he suddenly remembered: "Lily, what is your first class?"

"Transfiguration class... speaking of it, it seems to be taken together with Slytherin House!" Lily's thoughts were immediately taken away, and the topic immediately turned to another topic, "Shall we go to the classroom together later?"

This didn't seem like a good topic, and the innocent little girl didn't even see Snape quietly clenching his hand.

Based on yesterday's experience, he has already noticed the internal state of Slytherin. It's okay to just invite him. Catherine's slight closeness to him yesterday has already made some purebloods dissatisfied. Today, they are mixed with a little marrow wizard. If you dare to cause trouble for Catherine, don't you dare to cause trouble for Lily?

Whether it was luck or misfortune, someone helped Snape solve this problem.

The boy with messy hair who was sitting with Lily yesterday ran in from outside and said to Lily before he sat down: "Lily, why are you so early? I'm still waiting for you in the lounge."

"I woke up too early James." Lily gave him a friendly but distant smile, and Catherine noticed a slight change in her attitude towards the bespectacled boy.

It seemed like we were new friends yesterday.

The boy with glasses didn't know whether he realized the difference in Lily at this time, but he said to himself: "Fortunately, I asked your roommate..."

Before he finished speaking, he belatedly noticed Lily's strange sitting posture - she was sitting half sideways.

Looking back, I saw two little wizards sitting half sideways on the Slytherin side. Although the distance was a bit far, there were not many people in the hall now. It looked like they were talking just now?

He immediately became alert, "Lily, is this the Slytherin friend you mentioned?"

Seeing him like this, Lily thought of his attitude last night, and her expression hardened, "Mr. Potter, this is my own business."

Little did he know that this attitude aroused the boy's dissatisfaction.

He said in rapid succession: "I know even if you don't tell me, Severus Snape. I heard that he is a half-blood and must have been bullied badly in Slytherin, right? As for this Catherine Slater Miss Lin..."

Lily stood up: "Mr. Potter, I have already said that they are my friends and they are all good people."

"Salazar hates mixed-blood and Muggle wizards the most. The Voldemort outside is his descendant. Their whole family hates mixed-blood and Muggle blood!"

Catherine raised her eyebrows, "Sir, are your family as ignorant of propriety as you are?"

"Isn't this a fact?" James glared at Catherine, "Salazar was kicked out because he was dissatisfied with half-blood and Muggle-blood wizards entering school. Voldemort was also bullying half-blood and Muggle-blood wizards outside. You are the same, and you brought There’s a basilisk in school!”

Lily yelled dissatisfied: "James Potter!"

【Bad guy! ] Haierbo, who sensed the malice, opened his mouth wide and wanted to pounce.

Although Catherine caught it immediately, Haierbo's actions undoubtedly proved that this little basilisk could indeed attack people. The boy with glasses immediately took out his wand and pointed it at Catherine and Haierbo, "Don't be afraid, Lily!"

He forcefully pulled Lily behind him, as if Haierbo wanted to attack both of them.

It's outrageous. Haierbo just wanted to attack him from beginning to end. Haierbo himself was stunned!

His move attracted the attention of the Slytherin table, and the Slytherins who came behind him also stood up.

This scene is like a lone hero facing a huge evil force.

[Haierbo, don’t move. 】Catherine first calmed down the restless Halbo, and then said to the boy, "First, Halbo's coming to school is allowed by the school. Secondly, compared to what my father is and what Voldemort does that I don't know, I I just saw you, a little wizard whose name I still don’t know, speaking nonsense in front of me, slandering my father and trying to judge me."

The school nominally does not allow little wizards to harm each other with magic, but the boy has already taken out his wand. If Catherine doesn't give some feedback, let alone what others think of her, she herself will not be able to get over this hurdle.

No one can insult her father in front of her.

She looked at Professor McGonagall who walked into the crowd. She seemed to be the head of Gryffindor. Catherine asked her: "Professor McGonagall, regarding this gentleman's rude behavior, I think I can ask for a duel with him?" "

"Mr. Potter provokes classmates, 10 points will be deducted from Gryffindor, Miss Slytherin, the school prohibits duels between young wizards, and you are not allowed to use magic... and pets to harm classmates."

Professor McGonagall saw that Catherine was staring at her closely, and then said, "For Mr. Potter's mistake, I will put him in confinement for three days. Please put away your wand as well, okay?"

She didn't say that Catherine was at fault. As the head of Gryffindor, she only punished Gryffindor students throughout the whole process, so she was quite sensible.

Catherine looked at her for a while and noticed that the professors nearby also started to look defensive, as if they were afraid of what she and Haierbo would do.

She put away her wand, which she didn't necessarily need to use magic.

From the look on Mr. Potter's face, it was obvious that he wanted to say something else. Mr. Black, who was assigned to Gryffindor yesterday, pushed through the crowd and walked in. He pressed Potter's hand and reminded him in a low voice, "The professors are here." Potter then slowly backed away.

"Go have breakfast, don't delay class." Professor McGonagall drove away the little wizards around her.

Catherine also sat back at the long table and comforted the angry Helbo.

She has not lost her mind. There are fewer and fewer wizards these days, and young wizards have become more precious. Naturally, she will not directly retaliate against Mr. Potter in front of everyone.

This impulsive boy will definitely make mistakes again, and he will not be lucky enough to have a professor come to the rescue every time.

Lily left the Gryffindor table because of what happened just now and wanted to come over to talk, but because the students on the Slytherin side were looking at her with eager eyes, she could only apologize to Catherine in a low voice.

"It has nothing to do with you," Catherine told her.

Every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its own owner, and she won't do anything to vent her anger.

Catherine was about to coax Herbo with waffles. After the crowd dispersed, Principal Dumbledore came to her side. He seemed not to have seen the conflict just now and only said to her: "Miss Catherine, come to the principal's office after breakfast? Some people want to see you."

Catherine probably guessed who it was and nodded, "Okay."
