Entrepreneurship and Wealth in the Order of the Phoenix

After dinner, walking down the spiral staircase, the freshman followed the prefect to the door of the Slytherin common room, which was a damp stone wall.

Before the Slytherin prefect could speak, Harry said the common room password: "Pure blood."

The door hidden in the stone wall swung open, and the prefect looked at Harry in shock, who shrugged. "I said that we only have these few passwords, and we can guess all the powers of pure blood glory. Isn't it too simple to change them?"

The prefect adjusted his distorted expression, and said majesticly with a Slytherin-like indifference: "This is not something you should be concerned about as a freshman."

"Of course this is something that I, a freshman, should pay attention to!" Harry looked at the students around him in disbelief. "Don't you all care about your own safety? Think about it, there are only a few passwords. What if someone wants to harm us and sneak in to steal things in the dead of night? What if we are stabbed to death? What if we rest in Slytherin What if we put a bomb in the room..."

"Harry, stop it," Draco said tremblingly, and the rest of the Slytherins shivered as well.

"But we are Slytherins, you have to remember that." The prefect lifted his chin proudly. "Our password can't be a dog's nose and pig's tail like a stupid lion."

"I have a solution for this. We can just use pure blood—although I suggest using glory, after all, not all Slytherins are pure blood. The same word can conjure different tricks, and we can change it every other week." Ha Looking at the puzzled expressions of the people around him, Li smiled warmly (fu) and (hei) again.

"Have you ever heard of cryptography?"

So that night, in the spacious Slytherin lounge, students from almost all grades gathered together—

Then they learned a lot.

The next day, the Slytherin prefects found their headmaster, and the potions professor was preparing the potion ingredients for the next class.

"What's the matter?" Snape frowned, and saw the student's two dark circles at a glance.

"Professor, I'm here to inform you that the password for the Slytherin lounge has been changed." The prefect replied respectfully.Even the students in Slytherin House instinctively avoided this potions professor dressed in black and exuding low air pressure.

"What password?"

"TIRA.V." replied the prefect.

"What?" Snape thought he was hallucinating.

"The lounge password this time is TIRA.V, which is glory's affine password." The prefect said excitedly. "Harry said this is the lowest level of cipher, and when he gets the magic network out, we can use RSA..."

"What are you talking about?" Snape finally understood. "What did Potter do to you again?"

"Oh, Professor," said the prefect with a smile. "Do you know cryptography?"

……

Slytherin's dormitory is a double room, and Harry and Draco live together. With the same class schedule, it can be said that it is difficult for the two to separate.After the daily classes were over, Harry took Draco straight to the library, and Blaise, who wanted to take a biology class, also went to the library in order to build a good relationship with Harry.

Pansy wrinkled her nose and said to her roommate, Daphne Greengrass, "Look at them, what a Slytherin, what a bunch of Ravenclaw nerds."

But two days later, she and Daphne were also sitting at the beautiful lacquered wood desk in the library.The Slytherin common room has a gothic, dark elegance to it, with exquisite sculptures and miniature water features everywhere, but…

It's really dark.

"It's still more comfortable to do homework here." Pansy sighed as she spread out a roll of parchment in the sunlight.

The entire first year of Slytherin started a new semester in this pleasant and harmonious learning atmosphere. Several mixed-race and less stubborn pure-blood wizards even made many Ravenclaw friends.

Harry saved Neville with a beautiful slowing spell in flying class, and saved everyone with an armor body in potion class. For his sake, Gryffindor and Slytherin first grade The relationship between them has eased a little, and they no longer make sarcasm when they meet each other, which is really gratifying progress.

Harry's naughtiness has given many professors a headache. According to Professor McGonagall, he is naughtier than ten James and ten Sirius stacked together.However, the professors at Hogwarts liked him very much because of the amazing intelligence of this student and his repeated saves in class.

Except Snape.

Snape felt that teaching Harry Potter was a painful and happy process (he would not admit any happy part verbally), and Harry Potter's face reminded him of the evil old Po Especially, every look in the young man's eyes and the tone of every sentence made him skip Lily's green eyes and think of Sirius Black.No, he was even more arrogant than Blake.

Poking him everywhere, is there anything worse than this?

However, Potter's talent in potions is amazing. Snape called him to the office to put him in confinement at first, just wanting to disgust him with those slugs. Who knew that Potter's technique would be as proficient as dealing with it for hundreds of years after a few minutes? The ingredients for potions are the same.

Faced with a student's eyes seeking knowledge, Snape couldn't say anything to refuse. He could only answer his questions with a dark face, with concise words and a very bad attitude, but he could always solve the boy's doubts.After answering, the potions professor was successfully led astray by Harry, so the daily confinement became a potions improvement class.

Harry Potter was more gifted than his mother, and though Snape didn't want to admit it, the proud Potions Master felt for a moment that the boy's future achievements in Potions would be higher than his.

Harry Potter is an incredible genius.Snape thought so at first, maybe there is something special about the boy who is enough to be the enemy of the Dark Lord in the prophecy, and he will eventually grow into a wizard stronger than the Dark Lord and more knowledgeable than Dumbledore, At that time, he will lead the wizarding world to the path of light.

But soon, he discovered that Potter's genius was too much.Snape wanted to believe that there were really little wizards in the world who could cast every spell correctly within three practice sessions, and also wanted to tell himself that Potter's potion handling method was just a coincidence, but after ten After a few potions improvement classes, he finally began to doubt.

Snape lived with this mentality for several days, observing Harry's situation non-stop, until another cramming called confinement was really a small one, and he returned to his office after the class, usually , Harry has already processed the ingredients inside, and the potion ingredients he just put in a few days ago contained live snakes.

He walked to the door and heard a cold hiss, coming and going.

This voice may be very weird to others, but it is undoubtedly too familiar to Snape, the former Death Eater.Snake language... His heart sank like a stone thrown into the water, and his body trembled.

Why did the Dark Lord disappear?Why did Harry Potter survive?It all makes sense that this seems impossible, there is no savior, just a scene directed and played by the Dark Lord.His last ray of light, the last thing left by Lily was also taken away...

Snape turned around and left here as if fleeing, leaving behind a bleak and lonely back like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, ah, the clouds are weeping!Ah, why did darkness overcome light?Lily, Lily, listen—the sound of my broken heart!

Snape: Wait... what's with the opera?

Emmm... Maybe this is the Slytherin-style aria that some cuties surnamed Su and named Mary are talking about, so elegant, charming, and noble!

Probably some great misunderstanding about us Slytherins x

Having said that, after Harry and the snake in his hand had a heated debate about "using animal experiments to make potions is inhumane", he looked up and saw that Snape hadn't come after the time.

He put down the snakes that had been dissected and sorted, and cast a cleaning spell on his hands, thinking that Snape was probably called by Dumbledore, and he wouldn't be back for a while, so he packed his things Humming a little tune to the library.Usually, he always likes to read books on spells, magic circles, alchemy, and potions. Harry, who never cared about the history of magic and foreign languages, knew how incredible Parseltongue was, and had no idea how much misunderstanding he had caused.

This incident tells us that even if you are a genius boy, you can't be biased.

Snape was indeed in Dumbledore's office when Harry was obsessed with studying in the library.The Potions Professor told Dumbledore desperately about his new discovery, but the old wizard was still calm and smiling, and Snape felt a little more at ease.

After listening to Snape's narration, Dumbledore felt a little heavy in his heart.But who is Albus, the spiritual leader of the magic world, he can't panic no matter who panics, and he can only persevere no matter who gives up.In a way, it's pretty miserable.

After analyzing the current situation calmly, he said to the Potions Professor, "Severus, things may not be what you think."

"Is there any explanation?" Snape lowered his voice and said hoarsely, "Snake language, self-taught magic..."

"Harry is not like him," said Dumbledore, smiling.

Snape looked up at him, a glimmer of hope in his usually empty eyes.

"How can Voldemort be so skinny."

Snape: "..."
