HP in the name of Slytherin

The little snakes in the lounge saw that less than half an hour after Snape entered Catherine's room, he limped and left in despair. They were curious, but unfortunately he rushed straight into the room with his head buried in the room.

This further confirmed that Catherine punished him further in the room, and the original grudge and discrimination almost turned into sympathy.

Salazar Slytherin hated Muggles, Muggle-bloods, and half-bloods, and presumably his daughter did the same.

Avery was originally looking at the small cards he had collected. When he heard the door open and looked over, he saw Snape staggering into the room. His legs were twisted as if they were hot on the ground and he walked to his bed.

His curiosity suddenly aroused, and he stepped forward pretending to be concerned: "What's wrong, Miss Slytherin punished you?"

He wanted to put his hand on Snape's shoulder to pretend to be friendly, but he noticed that the collar of Snape's second-hand wizard robe was a little yellow, so he rubbed his fingers and took it back.

Although their family was only one of the lowest among the Holy Twenty-eight, they still had some serious businesses. I had never seen a wizard like Snape... who was not a wizard.

His hesitation fell right into Snape's eyes. He had seen this look too many times, from elementary schools in the Muggle world, to neighbors near his home, and even Lily's sister...

He lowered his head and rushed into the bathroom, turned on the faucet and stretched his head through it.

The cold water only lasted for a moment, and the water quickly became warm. Unlike the home in Spider End Alley where the water stopped from time to time and there was almost no hot water, Hogwarts has a 24-hour hot water supply.

He doesn't have to worry about not being able to afford toiletries. Although most students bring their own, shampoo and shower gel are always stocked in the bathroom.

Basic, but sufficient.

Snape's head, which was a little groggy from staying up late last night and reading, became sober under the wash of hot water and foam.

He rinsed off the foam and raised his head. In the mirror, he saw himself with a sallow face and black eyes.

Even if it is washed with warm water, the rough skin will not look healthy and rosy. Even though the shampoo had a fresh smell, he could still smell the musty smell coming from an unknown place, and he couldn't tell whether it came from the clothes or from him.

Did these less than two days of Hogwarts life disappoint Snape?

Not at all. Even though he and Lily belonged to two different colleges, it was in this castle that he deeply felt that there was still hope in life.

Plenty of food, a safe place to live, countless books and professors who would answer his questions.

This will be the starting point of a turning point in his life. How could he be disappointed?

The eyes of young wizards of the same age cannot hurt Snape. He has been numb since he was a child. They just changed from discriminating against his family and clothes to discriminating against his blood... But Slytherin is good, as long as it is enough Powerful, it will help little wizards get everything they want.

Snape had long thought clearly that he would dedicate everything to magic in order to get a promotion ladder, and Slytherin would help him select the best partners... as long as he was strong enough.

But I still feel a little sad... because of Catherine's words.

Snape used the only valuable wand on his body to cast a drying charm on his hair, and the wizard's robes that were stained with water could also be cleaned by cleaning them.

But it was second-hand after all, and some of the cleaning and styling charms it had on it had long since expired. Even though he had used it twice to clean it, the clothes were still wrinkled and gray.

He didn't feel bad about Avery's behavior, although he seemed to be kinder to him...

Perhaps the children in Spider End Alley have some "talent" for reading people's faces. Even if he and Rozier seemed fine, Snape knew that it was not as easy for them to accept him as they said.

How could it be possible that the front foot really disliked him for being a mixed race, followed everyone at the dinner and asked him to stay in a corner, and the back foot took the initiative to invite him to a dormitory room when he returned to the lounge.

Snape initially thought they were going to bully him, which was all too common, secretly forcing him to do things, bossing him around, bullying him or whatever.

But Avery and Rozier didn't. On the contrary, they were quite polite to him.

The only unusual thing was that they would mention Catherine from time to time when talking to him.

Through a little talk, Snape discovered that they knew that Catherine and he had a small box and a small boat when they came to Hogwarts.

In addition, she was more reserved with him during the prefect election and only looked at the results. She sent him safely out of the storm circle.

They wanted to see if it was possible to hook up with Catherine Slytherin through him.

A kid who grew up in Spider End Alley knows these worldly things, so he can tell clearly that Catherine does treat him a little differently.

No, that's not the right thing to say...Catherine treats everyone the same, whether it's the noble Lucius Malfoy, the other pure-blood classmates, the mixed-blood him, or the Muggle-blood Lily. Well, it's all the same in her eyes.

She helped him out several times. Careful people might think that Catherine was protecting him quietly, but Snape knew that it was not actually helping him. If it had been anyone else, Catherine would have helped him.

Snape certainly knew that it would be difficult to make "friends" if he was careless in Slytherin. Human beings judge a person by external conditions before he shows greater value.

But he really has no external conditions. All he has are his brain and tenacity.

Then why was he still upset after Catherine said that he was unkempt and not clean? It was not embarrassing, but more sad.

Snape looked at himself in the mirror, his hair and robes had been tidied up, but he was still the same inconspicuous person.

Maybe it's because...

He hoped that in front of Catherine, at least when her eyes were shining on everyone equally, he, like everyone else, would not have such obvious flaws...

After all, she was a "Slytherin", the daughter of Salazar Slytherin, but she had shown equal kindness to him who was in such a downturn.

"Snape," there was a knock on the door outside the bathroom. The voice was loud and rough. It was Rozier. "Are you okay? It's time to go to class."

Snapra opened the door and went out, and Rozier sidled into the bathroom to solve a personal problem.

He went to his desk to get the Herbology textbook he had previewed last night. Next to him, Avery came over with the book and said with a smile: "Miss Slytherin is too careful. She is afraid that we will be late or be teased by ghosts. Every new lesson I take everyone to the classroom with me every class.”

Snape found the book and notebook and let out a muffled "Huh".

Avery didn't notice that Snape had cleaned him up. After all, the little half-blood was really dusty. From his hair to his clothes, no matter how clean he was, he couldn't compare to the average Slytherin student.

Rozier noticed, however, that Snape had cleaned the bathroom very clean. He only noticed it after he took a few glances at Snape after he came out.

"Have you cleaned yourself up?" he asked blankly, "Did Miss Slytherin ask you to go over and do something?"

It seems that he is just curious about the movements of influential people.

Snape whispered, "Taught me a lesson."

Without waiting for them to ask further questions, he opened the door and went out.

See, even two children from pure-blood families "condescended" to sleep with him because they wanted to get some information about her from him.

Snape felt that their efforts were in vain. Catherine was of such good birth, so powerful in magic, and had a basilisk as a pet...and so beautiful. She must have had many, many retinues at that time and now. Where could she find one from the first grade? subordinates.

Rozier looked at Snape's back and commented accurately: "Do you think his feet will be swollen at night?"

He was obviously still a little lame, but he pretended not to care after going out, tsk tsk.

Avery has never been able to get much useful information, but seeing Snape like this, he also felt balanced. He and Rozier were scolded, and Snape was fined.
