HP in the name of Slytherin

Snape stared blankly at Catherine, his lips moved, and his instinct of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages told him that this was good. He could get Catherine's guidance. She also said it herself, without asking for anything in return, and he did not need to have any psychological burden. Just choose the path he wants to take in the future.

but……

Catherine had moved away from him and returned to the sofa on the other side. Snape twirled his fingers and did not put his hands on his face after all...

For the first time since he could remember, someone would wipe away his tears.

Said he would protect him and told him not to be afraid.

Catherine did not let him continue to struggle, and ordered forcefully in her usual elegant tone: "Get ready for class, Mr. Snape, today's Potions class... you will be my partner in the future Potions classes."

Snape blinked blankly.

Catherine said matter-of-factly: "I don't like handling potion ingredients. You handle them and I brew them."

Based on Snape's observation...Catherine does...not like handling potion ingredients. Today's potion ingredients seem to have slugs in them?

If she treated him with such an arrogant attitude in class, who would doubt that Miss Slytherin had a good relationship with this little half-blood like him.

Snape's throat was dry. After a moment of silence, Snape said, "Okay."

Haierbo watched the whole process and expressed his displeasure after Snape left. [Master, tell him, will he tell those two little wizards? 】

Evan Rozier and Brian Avery, who share the dormitory with Snape, are most likely children of Voldemort's subordinates, and they should have a very close relationship with Voldemort.

[He won’t tell,] Catherine scratched the little basilisk’s chin, [and I guess he will come and tell me tonight who his two roommates are. 】

Haierbo scratched his head with the tip of his tail and said in a daze: [Okay, the master just made a plan~]

[Little lazy boy, use your brain more,] Catherine was helpless, [Severus has a weakness, and once you discover it, it will be easy to influence him. 】

The desire for excellence, affection, and recognition was Severus' greatest weakness.

Of course it's also a cute weakness.

Catherine picked up her books and prepared to go to class, and suddenly remembered the question she just asked, [Why did you drool on humans just now, Haierbo, this is not good. 】

The little basilisk leaned out of the cake, with a confused look on its face, apparently having forgotten what happened just now.

Catherine reminded it: [On the grass just now. 】

[Oh,] Haierbo scratched his head with his tail, [That little wizard smells good, he doesn’t seem to be human. 】

Catherine was confused: [What do you mean? 】

"The master said you can't eat humans, but that little wizard doesn't seem to be human," Haierbo said innocently, "His taste is different from other little wizards, and he doesn't seem to be human." 】

【which one? ] Catherine thought for a moment, [Remus Lupin? The one with the scar on his face? 】

Haierbo nodded, [Yes, he smells delicious~]

Catherine will not bring Haierbo with her in class, she will only bring it with her when eating and going to the library. [You should have seen him in the auditorium before, but I didn’t hear you say that he smells good. 】

[Hmm, I don’t know. I didn’t smell it before, but I smelled it today. 】

Catherine couldn't think of any reason at the moment. The afternoon class was about to start and she had to go to the classroom quickly. [I understand, but you are not allowed to eat people, no matter how delicious it is. 】

【Okay. ] Haierbo responded and continued to plunge into the cake.

Catherine told Donut that she should be optimistic about Helbo and to come to her anytime if she had any questions. After that, she took her textbook to the Potions classroom.

She had a partner before, Margaret Morgan, who was obsessed with magic and didn't pay much attention to anything else.

In this month, Catherine had sorted out all the first-year Slytherin wizards, who was better at what, and who was outstanding in what aspect. She originally partnered with Margaret to help her in Potions class.

God knows this is also a bit difficult for Catherine. She really doesn't like dealing with insect tissue, plant mucus, and the like. If it's not a course requirement, she doesn't like potions either.

It happened that Snape liked it and he seemed to be quite good at it. Catherine came to the classroom a few minutes early and said to Margaret, who was already waiting there and reading a book: "Margaret, dear, you and Miss Bones Can I be a partner?”

Margaret blinked blankly, "Miss Bones?"

"That's Miss Amelia Bones of Hufflepuff, Snape's partner," Catherine leaned close to her and whispered, "She's also very good at potions. She'll partner with you. Let Snape do it." Give me work so we can all goof off in Potions class."

She winked at Margaret. As a spell fanatic like Evan Rozier, Miss Margaret Morgan liked to be lazy in classes other than Charms and Transfiguration. Don't ask, just ask. I’m just not interested and don’t want to learn.

Catherine had discussed magic spells with her a lot. The little girl didn’t really understand the ways of the world. She knew that Catherine didn’t actually like magic potions. It just happened that the two of them sat together in the first class. Later, she seemed to be really confused. Catherine became the backbone of their group.

"Okay." Margaret didn't hesitate, packed up her things and sat down in Snape's seat.

Catherine said to Amelia Bones, who was already sitting in her seat: "Miss Bones, I'll ask Snape to tutor me. I'll ask you to partner with Miss Morgan."

Amelia Bones is a little witch with gray hair and a square face. She speaks very little and looks very serious.

She looked around at Catherine and Margaret. She originally didn't want to get involved in Slytherin's internal affairs, but Snape was really a very serious little wizard, so she asked one more question: "Snape agreed. ?"

At this time, many students had come over, including Snape. Catherine gave him a standard fake smile and glanced sideways at him, "I don't think Mr. Snape will refuse my request."

Everyone followed her gaze to look at Snape.

Catherine's current appearance was very similar to the way she had punished Snape by making him stand on one leg while doing his homework.

Probably Catherine was still a little unhappy about the "practice" at noon. Rozier and Avery exchanged a look and silently moved a little away from Snape.

Amelia Bones frowned, feeling uncomfortable with the state of Slytherin House, but Snape had already agreed, and he said dullly: "Yes, Miss Slytherin."

Catherine turned back and smiled at Bones, quite innocently.

The girl took a breath and did not continue to "meddle in other people's business". She said with a cold face: "You are free to do as you like."

After saying that, I went to read a book and preview myself.

Catherine curled her lips and smiled, raised her chin at Snape proudly, and walked back to her seat first.

Snape followed him under the sympathetic looks of the other snakes.

Indeed, no one discovered Catherine's true intentions. It seemed that whether she was domineering or kind and gentle, it was all normal.
