HP Polar Night

The first-year and second-year courses are different. Due to the limited number of Hogwarts faculty members, almost everyone has to be a professor of multiple grades at the same time, so students' courses must be fixed and staggered.

There are only 10 students in the new class of Slytherin, 7 boys and 3 girls, which means that this year there will be another boy who needs to live alone.However, Draco Malfoy was enrolled this year, and he offered to share a room with Agares, who lived alone last time.

The number of students in the last few sessions has dropped sharply. For example, there are about 20 students in each class above the fourth grade, and the total number of students in the four colleges has reached [-].But because that time more than ten years ago was the most turbulent era in the wizarding world.Many wizards died due to infighting, and the birth rate was greatly reduced.In the most intense year of the war, that is, the two years when Agares and Draco were born, the number of babies in the entire wizarding world was very, very small.

Nowadays, it is very obvious in the number of new students enrolled.

In Agares's class, there were only 13 freshmen in Slytherin, and with the addition of the other three houses, the number was only around 60. In Draco's class, there were only 40 students in total.This number can be said to be a bit scary, which confirms from the side the destructiveness of the wizard blood war to the population.

You must know that some of these students are young wizards from the Muggle world.

Excluding this part, the children born in wizarding families in those few years may be said to have hit a record low.

However, in this case, there are often exceptional families.

For example, the Weasley family, who look down on each other with Malfoy, is also a well-known pure-blood family in the wizarding world. It is said that there are 7 children in the family, 6 boys and 1 girl.Even though Mr. Malfoy said that the other party had too many children to support, Agares still saw a trace of envy in the other party.

The more pure-blooded the family is, the more they want to pass on their own blood, and naturally the more children the better.

Isn't it because they love Draco so much because he is the only inheritance of Malfoy's blood?

Due to the well-known reason in the wizarding world, Harry Potter entered Hogwarts under the name of the savior, which quickly aroused the wizards' endless curiosity about him.During the first week of school, people from almost every college had an excuse to go to the Gryffindor tower or outside the classroom where Harry Potter was in class, to watch the savior.

Everyone tried to see the lightning scar on his forehead with their own eyes, and tried to trace back the famous decisive battle ten years ago through this scar.

Meanwhile, Slytherins were a little more difficult at school.

Many students in this academy, their parents or elders in the family participated in the camp of the mysterious person, and were liquidated after the war, arrested and imprisoned, in short, they had a disgraceful past.Students from other houses, of which many families had suffered, tended to take a hostile attitude towards Slytherins.

This attitude is especially evident in Gryffindor.

For a long time, the two houses, Slytherin and Gryffindor, were in a state of hostility and confrontation with each other.

Perhaps the personalities of the students on both sides also accounted for a large part of the reason. Enthusiasm and looseness and arrogance and restraint are originally opposite ends.Coupled with historical reasons and academic origins, this split has intensified.In layman's terms, a "feud" relationship has been formed.

Hostility for the sake of hostility, this tradition has been passed down from generation to generation.

Agares believes that in the thousands of years of college history, the two colleges will certainly not have been in this state, otherwise the school would have fallen apart long ago.But more than ten years ago, the bloodline war started by the mysterious man intensified this contradiction.The small friction between the students gradually expanded into a confrontation of values ​​between the two sides.

The values ​​​​are all opposite, no matter how you go, it is impossible to get on the same path.

Even though Agareth was a different kind of Slytherin, he had a gentle personality and made many friends, but in Gryffindor College, there were probably very few people who were willing to get along with him peacefully.The Weasley twins are already the Gryffindors who don't care much about house differences, but they also have conflicts with many Slytherins.

In Agares' view, it was a silly behavior for the Slytherins to maintain such a high profile.

Since the fall of the mysterious man, Slytherin has gained the upper hand in public opinion, otherwise there would not be so many followers of the mysterious man from Slytherin who were caught in prison or fled.

It's a pity that the Slytherins still uphold the view of pure blood supremacy in their hearts, look down on Muggles, and disdain to associate with wizards who are close to Muggles, as if their crown of glory will not fall off.

This kind of behavior will only lead to Slytherin's reputation getting worse and worse. They can't expand their circle of friends externally. They can only hug each other internally to keep warm, and continue to be superior, which has become a vicious circle.

Maybe the Slytherins are also aware of this, but the long-term attitude has made them lose their way down.And at this time, Agareth Black was assigned to Slytherin.

A pure-blood family name with a long history. It is closely related to the Malfoy family, a wealthy family in the wizarding world. He grew up in the Muggle world. His father was a follower of the mysterious man and was imprisoned. Deal with all kinds of people and gain their favor.

No matter from which point of view, Agares is the best choice that the Slytherins can have now.

Push him to the front of the stage, let him gradually become the representative of Slytherin, and find a new way out for Slytherin.

In the first year, the seniors of Slytherin should just wait and see, including Agares in the inspection period.And the boy's behavior really made them verify that their ideas were correct.

Become the leader with excellent grades in the classroom, help other students with a friendly attitude, reduce prejudice and friction between colleges, leave an excellent impression in the four colleges of the same year, and even expand the network to senior grades among.

Agareth Black, perhaps the best person to lead Slytherin.

But they still need to continue to observe him, especially when Malfoy and the famous Harry Potter are among the new freshmen, it is the time to really test Agares.

Draco Malfoy was also included in the observation objects when he entered school.

He also has a good family background, from a pure-blood family, and his father was also accused of being a Death Eater, but escaped trial.In comparison, perhaps he will be more suitable than Agares.

But when Draco once provoked Harry Potter in public, he was immediately dismissed.

Slytherins don't need a leader who is too spoiled to see the status quo and make enemies.

After that, Agares found himself in a different position in Slytherin.Everything he does, even if it violates the school rules, no senior will discipline him.When he was going to do something, such as look up some advanced dark arts materials, and learn some dusty facts about the wizarding world, there would always be someone to help him at the right time.

After going back and forth, Agares figured out the cause and effect after a few days.

After clarifying his position in Slytherin, Agares dared to let go of many things.

For example, maintain a friendship with the savior Harry Potter.

At the beginning of the school year, due to the college disputes and the attention paid to Harry Potter by Principal Dumbledore and others, Agares only dared to contact him secretly through some small methods.It may be to have someone from Hufflepuff bring a letter to each other one day, it may be to have the school's public owl bring your notes, or it may be to take advantage of the rare opportunity to meet Harry Potter when he is alone.

But Harry Potter's fame always makes him not lack of companions or onlookers, and Agares has very few opportunities to get in touch with him.

Compared with the people in Gryffindor, Agares soon discovered that there was an inseparable person beside the Savior, Ron Weasley, the younger brother of the Weasley twins.

At the same time, Draco was still persistently trying to appear in front of Harry Potter, attracting the other party's attention with various childish and nasty behaviors.This is also an unusual headache for Agares.After all, Harry Potter already knew about his cousin relationship with Draco, and it was hard to say whether the other party would blame him for it.

In order to maintain the relationship with the savior, Agares felt that it was time for him to put down other things in his hands and make a plan to enhance the relationship between the two parties.

On Friday mornings, the students all had breakfast in the auditorium.It was rare that Harry and Ron didn't get up too late, so they could have a leisurely breakfast today before going to the Potions class in the morning.To him, Potions class was definitely the most painful thing in his school life.From the time of their first class, the Potions Professor had topped Harry's list of most hated people, second only to the Dursleys and likely to surpass them for the number one spot.

Potions Professor Snape was the head of Slytherin. He wore a dark robe all the year round, with a sallow complexion and a cold expression. He looked at Harry with disgust and hatred in his eyes.He also likes to try to find any opportunity in and out of class to deduct points from Harry, humiliate him, and taunt him.

Harry wondered how such a person could be a professor?

Thinking about going to that gloomy potions classroom and meeting the dark old bat later, Harry felt that he couldn't even eat the delicious breakfast in front of him.

At this moment, a vigorous owl flew in from outside the door, dropped a roll of parchment in front of Harry, and then spread its wings away.Harry caught the parchment in his hand just in time before it dropped into the glass of pumpkin juice.

"Did Hagrid send you a note again?" Ron, who was trying to stuff food into his mouth, took a look and asked.

Harry unfolded the parchment, and the neat and fancy font on it indicated that the person who wrote the letter was not their friend Hagrid.

"Dear Harry, I guess you don't have lessons this afternoon. If you don't have anything else to do, maybe we can meet in the library. If you agree, just make a gesture. Your friend, AB"

When Harry saw the signature, he guessed who the other party was, and a smile could not help but creep up the corner of his mouth.He hurriedly looked over the long Slytherin table, and sure enough, he saw his dark-haired friend smiling at him with juice.He quickly nodded to the other party a few times, indicating that he had seen the letter and agreed to meet in the afternoon.

The other party raised the cup in his hand to Harry, then turned his head and talked to the people around him.

"Harry, who are you looking at? Who wrote you this letter?" Ron wondered.

"Nothing, a friend."

No matter how much Ron on the side fussed that Harry had made a new friend and he didn't know it, receiving a letter from Agares at this moment really made Harry feel a lot better.

He always thought that Agares didn't want to be his friend!

The author has something to say:

According to various materials, the number of students at Hogwarts, Rowling said, is about 800 students, but Harry's class only has 40 students, no matter how you calculate it, it can't be counted.So a bold guess is that the years when Harry and the others were born coincided with the blood war, which led to a sharp drop in the birth rate of little wizards~
