Hogwarts in the shadows

In the morning, Hephis woke up from his dream and went to the auditorium for breakfast.

Breakfast only had some bread, jam, toast and pie, but no meat. Bad review.

Although Hephis's appetite now is not as terrible as before, it is still equivalent to that of an adult.

Fortunately, no one came near him, so he ate all the food in front of him. After filling his stomach, he went straight to the library.

It’s ok today, there is a seat.

Hephis found where he had put the books last night, and all the books were there.

He sat down and began to search carefully.

However, the result somewhat disappointed him.

It’s not that there aren’t potions for strengthening the body, but they’re all just recipes.

There is no measurement of ingredients and no cooking techniques.

Making a potion isn't just a matter of mixing all the ingredients together and boiling them down.

In Snape's words, potion-making is an art.

If he really dared to do this, he would either die in an explosion or be poisoned to death.

It seems that the fastest way is to work on Snape.

It just so happens that he is in confinement in the afternoon, so I need to cultivate our relationship well.

"Summer, summer passes quietly, leaving little Mimi behind."

Hephis came to the auditorium to eat lunch while humming a song.

He glanced around and again didn't see Hermione.

What's wrong with this girl? She's not active when eating and there must be something wrong with her thinking.

But in the crowd, Harry and Ron were seen, who had obviously just woken up.

He walked straight towards them and sat down next to them without any hesitation.

This attracted curious glances from the many little lions at the Gryffindor table.

"Harry, Ron, good afternoon." Hephis greeted with a smile.

"Good afternoon Hephis."

Ron tried hard to swallow the food in his mouth and responded incoherently: "Noon... cough cough..."

Harry quickly handed Ron a glass of pumpkin juice, and Ron drank it in one gulp.

"Ron, take your time," Hephis said gently.

"Oh, hello Hephis."

Ron nodded and adjusted his sitting position, trying to look presentable.

"How were your classes this week?"

After that, the three of them had an awkward chat.

Ron's attitude was noticeably more enthusiastic than last time.

It was probably because he already knew about Hephis beating up Slytherin.

There was pride in his words, and it was as if he was saying, "Look, Hephaestus, it's my friend."

Hephis ate and talked, and he cleaned up the food in front of him without any hesitation.

Even got up and went to the side to get some extra food.

Shocked all the little lions.

"Ron, is your brother Percy here? I want to thank him in person for his help." Hephis asked.

Ron glanced around the Gryffindor table and soon spotted Percy.

"Percy is right there, I'll take you there."

As soon as Hephis stood up, two arms were wrapped around his shoulders from both sides.

"Hey, Hephis, good afternoon!" The twins greeted in unison.

"George, Fred, good afternoon." Hefeth looked at the two of them separately.

"No, I'm George."

"I'm Fred."

"Don't make a fuss. You two are still easy to tell apart."

The twins looked at Hephis in horror.

"Can you really tell us apart? Even our mother can't!" George said loudly in surprise with an exaggerated expression.

"Uh...it's OK. It's not that hard."

"You make us so sad that you can actually tell the difference." Fred covered his heart exaggeratedly and made a hurt expression.

"It is an honor for the 'King of Slytherin' to come to our Gryffindor for lunch today."

As George spoke, he bowed.

"Come on, you guys. I just came to chat with Harry and Ron, and to thank Percy for his help."

"It looks like you guys are done talking. Come on, let's go find Percy."

The twins finally let go of Hephis, led the way, and shouted loudly: "The King of Slytherin is out, everyone please get out of the way!"

The little snakes were attracted by the shouting, and after hearing the content clearly, they glared at the twins angrily.

Hephis simply covered his face and did not keep up with the twins.

He looked at Ron and motioned for him to lead the way.

Ron was obviously even more excited, and he pulled Hephis towards Percy.

Hephis sincerely thanked Percy, chatted with Harry and the Weasleys for a while, and then turned and walked towards the basement.

Snape's Office -

"Knock, knock, knock" Hephis knocked lightly on the office door.

"Enter"

"Professor Snape."

"Oh, Mr. Dame, I was just wondering if you had forgotten about the detention this afternoon."

"Professor, you didn't tell me the exact time, so I came here right after dinner."

"It seems that Mr. Dam can eat as much as the troll. It takes so much time."

"Professor, you know, there is something wrong with my body, so I eat a lot."

"One thing. I hope Mr. Dam will not forget it next time."

"Okay, Professor, what time at night?"

"Seven o'clock."

"Okay, Professor."

Snape walked over to Hephis.

He raised his wand, pointed it at the door lock, and spoke slowly.

"Claude ostium!"

Without retracting his wand, he continued speaking to the door lock.

"Unlock!"

"Remember?"

"Remember, professor." Although Hephis was confused, he nodded.

Snape didn't say anything, but just looked at Hephes with his deep eyes, which made him feel creepy.

Hephis suddenly realized something and repeated Snape's actions and spells towards the door.

Snape turned and walked back to his desk.

"You are in danger now."

Hephis said nothing, waiting quietly for what would happen next.

"Yesterday, you offended almost all the pure-blood families in Slytherin."

"Those families are not that simple. They are very old, and antiquity means heritage."

"You should know that there is a lot of dark magic in the wizarding world, and these families have a lot of unknown dark magic."

Snape said, staring at Hephes.

Hearing this, Hephis' face remained calm, but his brain began to work frantically.

I've died once, so whatever happens, I'll just do it.

If a person dies, a bird will look up to the sky, and he will not die for tens of thousands of years.

Besides, there is a big guy in front, and Dumbledore is still alive.

Who at this stage would dare to kill him in the face of Dumbledore's wrath?

After all, he is a student at Hogwarts now.

If the old Heavenly Master doesn't come down the mountain, he is second only to the master. If the old Heavenly Master goes down the mountain, he is second only to the master.

The older the family, the more cautious they are. Those people are not fools.

"Hephes Dam, take care of yourself. Keep your blood, hair, and even your body fluids out of reach."

Hephis was speechless. What the hell is body fluids?

"Mind yourself. Remember those two spells and lock your dormitory door every day."

"Okay, Professor, I remember."
