HP in the name of Slytherin

Snape's dark eyes widened slightly. Even though he knew that Catherine was smart, he was still surprised that she guessed the hidden details of this "exercise" so quickly - he believed that none of the senior students present had noticed this. a little.

Seeing that his condition was really not good, and there were classes in the afternoon, Catherine simply asked Donut to apparate and take her and Snape back to her room.

"I guess you didn't bring your afternoon textbooks and you have to go back to the dormitory soon," Catherine said as she poured Snape a cup of hot cocoa. "It will make you feel better."

One month is enough to prove Catherine's knowledge. She is now about to become the invisible teacher of the entire first grade of Slytherin. She said that drinking some hot cocoa can relieve the dizziness caused by the emptiness of magic power. Snape has no doubt about him. He held up the cup obediently.

Catherine sat on the sofa and looked at the thin boy, "It's hard to imagine, Mr. Snape, that your control of magic exceeds that of all the lower grades... I think most of the upper grades may not be as good as you."

Snape swallowed a sip of the slightly hot cocoa and said cautiously, "My mother kept some books and notes from her school days."

The hot cocoa is not as sweet as expected. It seems to have a little milk and other things added to it, and it has a very distant burnt aroma.

Miss Slytherin's food and clothing expenses always seem to be so low-key and exquisite.

Catherine picked up the glass in front of her, took a sip, and asked with a smile, "Why don't you sit down? Are you in a hurry to leave?"

Snape did want to leave, but of course he couldn't say this in front of Miss Slytherin. He had to smile dryly: "Thank you."

"Why do you think I invited you to afternoon tea?" Catherine pushed another plate of exquisite cookies over.

Halbo lay on the table and watched eagerly, but he honestly didn't touch it, which made Snape a little embarrassed...or was it just a habit? First, please show your respect to the basilisk.

[Master——] Haier asked in a long and drawn voice.

【Eat. 】

The little basilisk got permission and swallowed the cookie in one bite.

Whether it was because of sitting down or the cup of hot cocoa, Snape felt that the dizziness had weakened to the point where it was negligible, and his thinking became clear again. "I think it's because you are more concerned about the way I handled it at noon." satisfy?"

Catherine raised an eyebrow in disbelief.

Snape continued: "You seem to want to make up for the relationship between Slytherin House and other houses. During this month, I have observed that you will avoid Slytherin students and other houses without anyone noticing. Conflicts broke out among students...well, at least it wasn't a conflict that would deduct points or reinforce prejudice."

"It's inappropriate to say that no one noticed it. Didn't you discover it?" Even Agatha didn't notice this.

Snape lowered his eyes, "Maybe it's because I'm a half-blood."

And there is a Gryffindor friend.

Understanding Slytherin's current situation, Snape has been carefully maintaining his friendship with Lily, and so has Lily...

Catherine secretly resolved conflicts between the lower grades of Slytherin and other houses, which invisibly reduced the pressure on him and Lily.

"It's not so much because of the mixed race, but rather because of Lily." Catherine exposed him.

This time it was Snape's turn to be silent.

"If she hurts someone in Gryffindor today, Lily will be even more embarrassed in Gryffindor. Her friends will have a stronger position to prevent her from contacting you from Slytherin." Catherine put down the cup, "The most important thing is Yes, Gryffindor students will not turn a blind eye, and it may really turn into a battle between two houses in the end."

So Snape didn't want to take action at all at first. He was annoyed and angry and just wanted a quick solution.

But he didn't want to use black magic in front of Lily. He was considered a dark wizard... Facts have proved that white magic is not as effective as black magic. With Rozier and Avery joining the battle, he not only has to be careful not to When being attacked, you have to help damn Potter and Black, don't let them get hurt by Rozier's black magic.

It was too difficult, but luckily Remus Lupine on the opposite side seemed to have the same idea, and Catherine came quickly enough.

"Based on this, you did a good job indeed, and I'm very satisfied."

Snape pinched the edge of the cup and slowly turned it a few times, a question stuck in his throat.

He knew that once he asked, just like Rozier was not interrupted by Avery, the words came out, which meant that they were going to favor Catherine.

"What a pity. Today, Rozier was about to ask me to teach him spells and duels." Catherine shook her head. "It's a pity that Avery interrupted him."

Snape slowly raised his eyes, and looked at Catherine with a smile on his face with his deep black eyes.

The weak flames in the fireplace made her face glow slightly. In fact, she was already a very dazzling existence. Once Rozier started to learn spells and duels from her, he might soon become a second sea figure. Mann Mulserber, Miss Catherine is long and Miss Catherine is short all day long.

What about him...

Snape's hands trembled slightly from the exertion.

He has nothing, he makes a wrong move, no one can help him or save him, he will fall into the abyss alone.

"And you want to ask, what is the relationship between Voldemort and me?" Catherine said softly with a smile.

Snape took a deep breath, feeling a little on pins and needles.

Catherine Shiran stood up, "You all want to know, taking refuge in me is equivalent to taking refuge in Voldemort, joining the Death Eaters in the future, and using my name as Slytherin to get closer to the center of power. Or will I be hostile to Voldemort, as I am now? Being an enemy of such a powerful Death Eater will eventually lead to the unknown... or destruction. Right."

She walked up to Snape, no longer a peer in Snape's eyes.

A bit scary...

Catherine knew everything, she was quietly observing everyone.

Snape turned his head to look at her, and Catherine's gray figure appeared in his eyes. His eyelashes trembled slightly inadvertently, which made Catherine feel a little fragile about this silent and closed boy.

——He is just an eleven-year-old mixed-race little wizard who came to the magical world alone.

Catherine's heart softened, and her cold hand fell on the shoulder of Snape, who was suppressing uneasiness. She tapped her fingertips gently, "Don't be afraid, Severus."

Her voice was obviously very soft, but there was a velvet-like tenderness and tolerance in it, making people unconsciously know that what she said was true.

She said: "Don't be afraid, I won't let you get hurt."

Snape suddenly felt like crying.

He sat blankly on the sofa.

"If you have any questions about practicing magic, instead of getting the answer from me through Rozier and Avery, why not ask me yourself," Catherine gently wiped a tear from his cheek, "Come here quietly, you just need more Just take care of Haierbo."

After all, even in the eyes of Slytherins, the basilisk Herbo is still a time bomb.

As long as Snape is always "forced" to take care of it, who can say that he and Catherine are close?

"Why are you?

"Shh-" Catherine made a gesture of silence, but there was a slightly naughty smile on her face, "It's not safe if you know too many secrets."

No, Snape was truly sure that Catherine was going to be hostile to Voldemort.

She did this, really...protected him.

Snape suddenly asked stubbornly: "Why are you doing this?"

"Young wizard, don't think so much," Catherine poked Snape on the forehead, pushing him further away from her. "You are a very promising person, Severus. You can have such great achievements at the age of 11." The foundation of magic power shows that you not only work hard, but also have talents that many people can't match."

"To allow young wizards to graduate with the best grades, to freely choose the life they want to choose, and to become the people they want to be, this is the original purpose of the four founders of Hogwarts when they established Hogwarts."

"And I am Catherine Slytherin, the daughter of Salazar Slytherin, and the direct descendant of the other three founders. I will implement the will of the four of them."

Hogwarts always helps those who deserve it.
