Slytherin's salvation is nothingness

Soon Cyrus heard another familiar voice of someone he had seen in the void, it was Professor McGonagall. Cyrus led Angus into the auditorium under the leadership of Professor McGonagall. In fact, Cyrus could roughly sense everything around him even with a bandage on.

The last time Angus was needed in Diagon Alley was because her eyes were severely drained by the confrontation with Dumbledore a few days ago, and her senses had not yet fully recovered at that time. Angus also took the initiative to be Cyrus's guide dog in a strange environment, and their tacit cooperation lasted for a long time.

Cyrus stood quietly at the end of the team, unlike his peers who were excited and a little uneasy around him.

The twins and Jordan were both sorted into Gryffindor, and they waved to Cyrus before leaving.

Then her name rang out in the auditorium,

"Cyrus Sean"

Students and teachers from the four colleges looked at a girl who was dressed all in black and had a black ponytail covering half of her face. She was short and very thin and was leading a Muggle breed dog. Walk up the steps slowly.

Calm and calm. Cyrus soon felt two glances from the teacher's chair. The serious-looking Professor McGonagall held a very old and wide hat with one hand and gently placed it on Cyrus' head.

Then Cyrus felt the hat on his head twisting, and a hoarse voice came out

"Welcome back……"

When Cyrus was still curious, he heard the hat on his head say loudly,

"Slytherin!"

She didn't expect Cyrus's sorting process to be so fast. She didn't even have a chance to communicate with the magical Sorting Hat.

At Professor McGonagall's signal, Cyrus walked off the stage, walked to a long table decorated with green, found an unoccupied seat and sat down. The strange thing is that in the past, when every young wizard was assigned to an academy, the teachers and students would applaud and welcome him, if not the entire group. Students of the College will also be welcome.

But when the Sorting Hat called out Slytherin, there were only a few perfunctory sounds. His eyes were either surprised or sarcastic, focused on Cyrus. Cyrus sat quietly, looking over her with eyes filled with various emotions. Soon all kinds of quiet discussions started,

"Have you ever heard of her last name? There is no pureblood in the UK with the last name Sean."

"She must be of mixed race, look at how cheaply she is dressed."

"She's dressed very strangely, and she's holding a strange dog."

"Could it be Ni...a Muggle surname?"

"How is that possible! Slytherin always only recruits pure blood, at most mixed blood."

Soon the sorting ceremony ended. After Dumbledore finished speaking, he waved his hands and exquisite dishes appeared on the long table.

While the students around him were devouring their food one by one, Cyrus just stared at the steak in front of him in a daze. At this time, the girl next to him shook her arm, then raised her head and laughed.

"You don't even know how to eat? Or have you never seen such an ordinary meal? It seems like a poor half-breed has not run away."

That girl emphasized the word "ordinary" very strongly, as if saying this could highlight her nobility.

Cyrus ignored the girl's taunts and had no intention of eating. Seeing that she was ignoring her, the girl stomped her feet angrily and ignored Cyrus. Cyrus would not eat any food cooked by others. She was thinking about how she could sneak into the forbidden forest that Dumbledore mentioned at night to hunt food for Angus.

After dinner, the prefects of each college took the freshmen back to their respective lounges. Cyrus followed the team at the end. Just as she was about to walk out of the auditorium, two fluffy redheads squeezed through the crowd. George and Fred stopped Cyrus and took out a wrapped four-five-year-old girl from the large wizard robe. Layers of Sandwich.

"Cyrus, we can't eat anymore, please help us destroy this sandwich."

George put the sandwich into Cyrus's hand, and Fred took out a pack of Bibi's multi-flavor beans. "The sandwiches were made by our mother. She would scold us to death if she knew we only ate candy. Cyrus, Help me. Eat the candy by the way, it’s delicious.”

"Where did the two poor Gryffindors come from? I said she must not belong to Slytherin, and she was hanging out with Gryffindors." The three of them were noticed by the Slytherin students, and what followed was It's a mockery of them.

"Hey! Let me show you something good!" George was about to take out something round from the wizard's robe when he was pulled by Fred. Fred glanced at Cyrus who was holding a sandwich and candy in a daze. ,

"George, have you forgotten that we have more important tasks tonight? Don't waste time on them."

"George! Fred! Don't force me to deduct points from you on the first day of school!" An angry shout came from the Gryffindor team in the distance. The twins made faces in that direction, and then looked at Sailor. Si,

"Okay, if we don't go back, we will be detained by the superior prefect. Cyrus, we will..." "Let's go, George, Cyrus is tired too." Before George could finish speaking, He was pulled away by Fred on the side.

Cyrus ignored the scornful and mocking glances around him and put the sandwich and candy back into his pocket. She walked down the stairs into the Slytherin cellars. The stone door at the entrance requires a password to enter. After the prefect said the password "Pure Blood", he reminded everyone that the password would be changed every two weeks. Although it is underground, it is not dark, and the overall decoration is full of noble and elegant style.

The two prefects of Slytherin warned the new students about Slytherin's rules and regulations with arrogant and proud faces. Unlike other houses, Slytherin's strength comes first. You can challenge the prefects every year, and if you succeed in the challenge, you will become the leader of the college. Of course, the price for failing the challenge is facing the revenge of the entire Slytherin.

Cyrus leaned against the wall and mentally recalled the route she had just taken. She didn't want to get lost in this huge castle for a while.

Snape also came to the lounge hall. With his appearance, the temperature of the surrounding air seemed to drop, and all the chattering students did not dare to speak anymore.

He crossed his arms across his chest and glanced at everyone, "From today on, the only thing you, as Slytherin students, need to know is not to cause trouble for me. I will only say it once, of course, I am naturally willing to have some Stupid troll, go deal with the smelly slugs in the herb room." Snape said no more, and left without even bothering to look at the prefect's challenge.

Young wizards entering the first grade were not allowed to join the prefects' challenge, so Cyrus went straight to the bedroom. By coincidence, she was in the same room as the girl who had just laughed at her during the meal. Seeing that the girl didn't even say hello to her, she walked up to Cyrus and said angrily into Cyrus's ear.

"Did you hear me?!"

Cyrus rubbed his ears and looked at her. The woman was so angry that she pointed at the door of the dormitory and shouted:

"How come you and a half-breed are assigned to the same dormitory, and your dirty dog ​​also has to sleep in this room?! It's unbelievable!!"

The girl's loud and sharp voice came out of the bedroom, and several girls from the next door dormitory also poked their heads over. This girl's name is Lina Shafique. As one of the 28 pure-blood families, she naturally cannot bear to be in the same room with a strange-looking mixed-blood, let alone sleeping in the same room with a Muggle animal.

Cyrus stepped closer to the girl who was acting hysterically. She gradually felt something was wrong and started to retreat. Suddenly the female prefect rushed in and stopped Cyrus from moving forward. She looked at Lina and then at Cyrus. Finally, he looked at Angus with some contempt.

"Miss Sean, although the school does not prohibit dogs from being kept, as a Slytherin, you must always pay attention to your own etiquette.

Your pet has obviously frightened Miss Shafiq. And Miss Shafik, although Slytherin agrees with fighting among each other in the academy, please abide by the minimum rules and regulations. The allocation of dormitories is prescribed. "

Female prefect Serafa Travers, like Shafik, belongs to a pure-blood family, so she will naturally be inclined to help future heirs of the Shafik family. But seeing as it was the first day of school, Cyrus looked blind again. He didn't specifically target her. Although he didn't know Cyrus' blood identity, he was most likely an unknown mixed-race descendant.

Cyrus stopped moving forward and turned around to continue packing. Angus growled at the startled Shafiq, then walked to the place furthest away from her and lay down.

Lina Shafiq was not easy to get angry in front of the prefects, so she thought about sending a letter home to complain to her family and ask them to change her dormitory. Cyrus was also a little irritated. With such a roommate, it would be difficult for her to go to the Forbidden Forest every day without being noticed by her.

Now under Dumbledore's surveillance, she could only act more low-key. Her luggage was very sparse. Apart from the things she needed for study, she only had two sets of clothes. Even the owl didn't buy it, and Cyrus didn't think he had anyone he could contact.

Then she remembered the food the twins had given her in the wizard's robe, and she took it out and threw it into the trash can without hesitation. Although she was very hungry, she would not eat the food given to her. She couldn't understand the behavior of the twins. Didn't she feel any malice from them, or was she hiding it deliberately?

After nightfall, Cyrus lay on the bed until he heard the steady and deep sound of Lina Shafique sleeping. She gently took out the invisibility cloak and left quickly with Angus.

She was in no hurry to go to the Forbidden Forest. It was most important to understand the general distribution of the castle first. She didn't want to get lost at a critical moment. Cyrus discovered that not only the castle administrator Argus Filch and the professor on duty were wandering at night, but also some ghosts wandering around without anything to do.

The caution and ability to hide oneself that Cyrus had honed in his experience of living in the primeval forest came in handy. After she roughly figured out the route around the Slytherin lounge and the exit of the castle, she entered a bathroom. Dumbledore probably doesn't have the habit of peeking into bathrooms.

Cyrus took out his night clothes from his waist bag with infinite stretch ability and put on it. Items with unlimited stretch were too expensive, so she had to buy the cheapest one, but the space inside was enough to store her two sets of clothes and some important weapons.

She is still all black, but the material of her night clothes is thicker and lighter. There are leather pockets on the waist, arms, and thighs that can be used to store weapons. The large school robe was also replaced by a short cloak, revealing Cyrus's slender waist.

Cyrus used all his remaining wealth to update his weapons. The dagger was made of hard goblin stone, which could easily break the tough flesh of the beast, and he also equipped with several knives. Behind him is still the old shotgun. The hot weapons made by goblins are too expensive and rare. A reconditioned small pistol is also hidden in the calf.
