[HP] look at you

In the night, the dark water of the lake was rippled like silk, and small boats slid across the lake one after another, sailing gently to the majestic castle on the other side.

In the night, the castle is brightly lit, and the spires are like giant thorns piercing fiercely into the sky, like a strange and fantastic dream.No one dared to speak loudly, for fear of waking up something.

Olivia remembered the school motto of Hogwarts: Do Not Disturb the Sleeping Dragon.She also thought of the sleeping Slytherin basilisk under the castle, and thought it would be more appropriate to change the school motto to Sleeping Snake.

It's a pity that she doesn't know the language of the basilisk, otherwise she really wants to see what the basilisk looks like.

"It's really cold," Lily exhaled as she spoke, and she couldn't help but be thankful that Olivia had taken measures to keep herself warm in advance, otherwise she would be shivering like other people on the boat. "Olivia, what are you looking at?"

She withdrew her eyes from staring at the lake, and said, "It is said that there is a big octopus in the lake, who will follow and protect us." I don't know if this octopus will taste good in takoyaki.

"Huh? How old is it?"

"It's about as big as all of us here combined."

"Wow! So if I accidentally fall it will send me back up?"

"Maybe you are beautiful and stay underwater to be Mrs. Octopus. Do you want to try?"

Lily covered her mouth and smiled: "I will say that I have a friend named Olivia who is more beautiful, let him choose someone else."

Olivia nonchalantly said, "But I heard that octopuses prefer red hair."

Lily took it seriously: "Really?" She couldn't help but tidied her hair nervously.

Olivia burst out laughing.

Lily raised her small fist and thumped her on the back.

"Children, it's almost here, bow your head!"

Hagrid, the leader, shouted loudly, and his rough voice echoed across the entire lake. The huge figure looked like some kind of monster in the mist, which made many children flinch.

Everyone lowered their heads when approaching the cliff, and after passing through a curtain of ivy, they entered a dark tunnel from a secret open entrance.

Lily grabbed Olivia's hand with some fear, and Olivia patted her reassuringly.

She felt them gradually descending.

The boat finally touched the shore, and stopped at the pier after a slight shake.Snape who was sitting in the front jumped off the boat first, stretched out his hand to help Lily, then hesitated for a moment, and handed his hand to Olivia with some hesitation.

She smiled slightly, supported his hand and jumped off the boat, and said softly, "Thank you."

He gave a low "hmm".

Hagrid raised the lamp high and shouted: "Don't stop the children, keep going." He directed the children to walk into the tunnel under the rock.Even though it was a small lantern, it illuminated the entire tunnel.

It must be some kind of magic item.Olivia guessed.

The three of them helped each other out of the tunnel, and their vision suddenly widened.

This is a flat meadow under the castle, the grass is soft and moist underfoot.From here, you almost have to look up to see the highest point of the castle. The entire grassland is almost shrouded in the huge shadow of the castle. The majestic momentum accumulated by thousands of years of history paves the way. Not angry.

After climbing up the stone steps for a while, everyone finally stopped in front of a huge oak door, and Olivia heard panting one after another.After all, they are all 11-year-old children, and they are a little tired after this long journey.

Hagrid raised his fist and thumped the door three times. The sound was like thunder in his ears, but the oak door did not budge.Almost immediately, the door was opened, and there stood a tall young black-haired witch in a black robe, with a serious expression like the strictest nun in the monastery.

The door was definitely not opened manually.Olivia was certain that she didn't believe that anyone, including Hagrid, could push open the door with such great strength.

"The first years are up to you, Professor McGonagall," said Hagrid.

Mag thanked: "Come with me."

Everyone climbed upstairs along the luxurious marble-paved stairs in an orderly manner. Faint voices could be heard from a door on the right, but Mag led them to a small room at the other end. Dozens of children looked nervous. Huddled together, they all seemed to know what was going to happen.

Mag briefly introduced the four departments to them, and reminded them to take care of their image. Almost all the little wizards began to comb their hair and arrange their clothes.

She looked out: "I'll go see if it's ready over there, please keep quiet and wait patiently."

Seeing Mag leave the room, Lily whispered in Olivia's ear, "What method will they use to sort us?"

Olivia spoke nonsense in a serious manner: "It is said that you are going to put your hand into a biting hat, oh, Elton said that guy has a big mouth. Let it bite, it will taste the taste of your blood, and then I'll sort you out again."

The glory belongs to Olivia, and the blame belongs to Elton.

All the little wizards who heard it took a breath of air.

Snape couldn't help flinching his arms too.

Lily was trembling, trying to cheer herself up: "Well, I mean, it's nothing, since it's like this every year, nothing will happen."

Olivia nodded seriously.

The ghost that suddenly appeared during the waiting period made the group of nervous little guys scream in fright. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Mag to come back quickly.

It is estimated that intimidating the first-year students is the greatest pleasure of all Hogwarts students and teachers, maybe it is also to give them a warning and make them be honest.

Mag let them line up in a single queue, walked out of the room, walked through the foyer, and entered the luxurious dining room through a double door.

The restaurant is extraordinarily luxurious. Four long tables with a length of 30 meters are placed in the hall, but they only occupy a small part of the entire hall.Thousands of candles hung above the table, illuminating the hall brilliantly.The gold and silver utensils and glasses on the white tablecloth shone brightly under the candlelight, making the faces of the students sitting at the table blurred like a dream.

"This is heaven!" murmured a young Muggle wizard.

Olivia raised her head, and starlight shone on the black velvet. Although it was not as radiant and luxurious as in the hall, the depth and grandeur were more fascinating.

Mag floated a four-cornered stool in front of them, and placed a pointed wizard hat on it.

Thinking of Olivia's words just now, all the freshmen turned pale, stared blankly at the hat, opened its mouth and began to sing hysterically, and stared at the opening and closing gap in fear.

Mag seemed to glance at them with some doubts.

"Whoever's name I call now, put on a hat, sit on a stool, and wait for the sorting," she said.

What?

How about a good bite?

A row of heads glanced at Olivia.

Lily pounded her back with another fist silently.

In the first few episodes, when Sirius Black is being sorted into Gryffindor, the Slytherin table explodes.Olivia looked over, a beauty with long blonde hair and pale skin was full of anger. Of course, even so, she looked noble and beautiful, and several people around her were comforting her in low voices.

Sirius whistled nonchalantly, and happily ran to the Gryffindor table.

Among the three, Lily was the first to be called by name, she trotted forward, and was assigned to Gryffindor not long after putting on her hat.The long table belonging to Gryffindor immediately burst into applause, warmly expressing their welcome to this little beauty.

Lily ran over happily, then turned her head to look at Snape regretfully.

Olivia heard Snape's deep sigh, and heard a boy's voice from the waiting crowd: "I knew it, she would definitely go to Gryffindor."

Snape snorted behind him.

Olivia suppressed a smile.

When her name was called, Olivia calmly stepped forward and put on her hat.It was dark before his eyes, and a small voice sounded in his ear.

"Huh? You're the most complicated little girl I've ever seen. Obviously, you're not suitable for Gryffindor."

Olivia rolled her eyes at the certainty of the Sorting Hat.

"Smart, patient, but not ambitious. Curious about knowledge, but not eager. Oh, you have a noble heart yearning for freedom. Let me think about where I should send you."

"Slytherin," she thought in her head.

"Are you sure? I think you are more suitable for Ravenclaw, where there is infinite knowledge and can satisfy all your whims."

"But only Slytherin is a dorm for two."

"...?" The Sorting Hat was a little confused.

"Only Slytherin has an underground aquarium."

"..."

"Only Slytherin is the quietest."

"..." The Sorting Hat felt that he had encountered a rare psychosis in a thousand years.

"OK, OK, as you wish," the Sorting Hat shouted, "Slytherin!"

Olivia took off her hat, smiled at Lily who was waving to her on the Gryffindor table, glanced at Snape, and walked towards them amidst the Slytherin's applause.

"Welcome, Olivia." Although he was only the prefect of the sixth grade, Lucius Malfoy was sitting at the front right hand, which seemed to indicate his unusual status.

He smiled reservedly: "I know you must belong to Slytherin."

If not for the sake of the aquarium.Olivia sneered, she also showed a smirk, made a tired look, walked to the new student's seat at the end of the table and sat down.

Beside him was a boy with brown hair, who gave her a stiff and friendly smile.

"I'm Hugh Bloom," he said.

As soon as Olivia heard the surname, she knew that this boy was either from an ordinary wizard family within two generations, or he was of mixed blood. Anyway, he couldn't be born as a Muggle.

Slytherin houses allow mixed blood, but Muggle wizards are completely out of the question.Although she has not socialized for a long time, the circle of wizards is really not that big. There is also a gossip lover in the family, and she probably knows some families with slightly famous surnames.

"Olivia Orpington." She said flatly, her eyes flicked to the teacher's desk on the high platform.

In the middle is an old man with white hair and beard. He is wearing a gorgeous purple robe. His eyes behind the semi-circular lens can hardly be seen from too far away, but his nose can be seen as if he has been punched like twisted.

Olivia touched her nose subconsciously.This wound potion should be able to heal easily, right?Ignoring it can only show that the owner wants to remind himself of something.

Dumbledore, Head of Gryffindor, just became Headmaster this year.This matter made Elton talk about it for several days. He said: "When your grandfather was alive, he said that this Gryffindor boy had ambition in his eyes."

"What's the difference between being unambitious and being salty?" Olivia said.

"Then why didn't you?" asked Elton.

"Because I just want to be a salted fish quietly." Olivia confessed her ideal.

Elton was so angry that he was almost sent to St. Munger.

After a while, Snape was also sorted into Slytherin.

He walked over quickly amid warm applause, and Lucius patted him on the back in a leadership manner, which made him straighten his back excitedly, as if he had been summoned by the Queen.

His face was red until he sat down next to Olivia.

The last few people were finally sorted out, and another girl with brown hair was sorted into Slytherin.Olivia did some calculations, and there were probably less than ten people entering Slytherin this year, but there were nearly twenty Gryffindors.

She couldn't help thinking in her heart, with a two-to-one difference in numbers, no matter how much they wanted to fight, the Slytherins would lose.

However, no one at the Slytherin table seemed to realize this. After Dumbledore announced the start of the banquet, everyone began to enjoy the food that suddenly appeared on the table.

Olivia noticed that Snape was also shocked and his throat moved, but he was very restrained, carefully observed the people on the table, and then took a piece of roast beef and ate it slowly.

She picked out a pudding, and was instantly captivated the moment she entered it.

In seven years at Hogwarts, she should gain ten pounds.Olivia squinted her eyes happily and thought.

The Slytherins finished eating quietly, and then left in an orderly manner under the leadership of the prefect.

Leading the freshmen of the first grade is the prefect of the fifth grade.The man's name was Robert Parkinson, and the woman's name was Liana Whymper. They led six boys and three girls respectively.

The male-to-female ratio is also pitiful.

They shuttled among various corridors full of portraits, and descended the stairs to the ground. The air gradually became damp and cold, and even the light dimmed.

Robert, with a gloomy face, said: "Our lounge and room are in the cellar, as are the Slytherin dean's office and classrooms."

"This means that the distance we have to go to other places will be relatively long, so you must plan to go out in advance." Liana added gently.

Everyone stopped in front of a stone wall in the cellar, and Robert said the password: "Glory." The stone wall opened in response.

Liana said softly: "The password will change every two weeks, and the new passphrase will be posted on the bulletin board. Please remember it and—" She turned her head and glanced at them coldly, "It is not allowed to tell anyone from other colleges. people, including professors."

Everyone nodded silently.

Behind the wall was a huge living room, and the Slytherin students who came in before them were already sitting or standing gathered in it.

There are green light bulbs hanging in the dark room, together with the black or dark green sofas, carpets and wooden cabinets used for decoration, the whole room is filled with lake green hues, making it difficult to distinguish the expressions on the faces of the people inside.The stone walls are covered with medieval tapestries, making the atmosphere of the room suddenly solemn.The surrounding windows are tightly sealed, and there are fluctuations of water and light outside the windows.

Olivia's attention was immediately attracted.

"This is our living room. Usually, any activities or meetings are held here. There is a lounge inside, which can be used for reading and studying." Robert said quickly, "The boys' dormitory on the left and the girls' dormitory on the right. If you are discovered, it is best not to go to the wrong place."

He shut his mouth and joined Liana in the middle of the group.

Seniors and freshmen form two distinct groups.

Lucius, who was sitting in front of the fireplace, stood up slowly, and he took two steps forward. The red flames danced on his long platinum hair, but there was no warmth at all.

"Welcome, new members of Slytherin." His voice was smooth and haughty, "Slytherin is a noble and excellent house, and the great Merlin is also a student of Slytherin. And feel proud. From today, we are a group, we are the most united academy in the whole school, we will protect every partner of the same camp, support each other, and jointly fight against those enemies with evil intentions, but—”

Lucius looked at them coldly: "If you can't add honor to Slytherin, or even discredit Slytherin, we will give you merciless punishment. You, including all the Slytherin members here, always Remember, only those who uphold Slytherin's honor will be protected by Slytherin - and that lord."

"Above, to the great Salazar Slytherin." He raised his voice.

Everyone echoed in unison: "To the great Salazar Slytherin."

Olivia glanced at Snape, who was easily moved and waved his arms excitedly, and rolled her eyes at the carpet.

Lucius' brainwashing skills, it's a pity not to do pyramid schemes.

"Okay," a girl clapped her hands, her voice lazily said, "It's getting late, look at these little guys, they are as tired as quails, take them to rest quickly."

Olivia looked at the person who spoke. It was a sexy and beautiful girl. Just sitting there made people feel indescribably charming.

Lucius nodded with a smile.

Robert and Liana led them to the bedroom respectively.

Liana lifted the dark green curtains and led the three girls inside, "Two Slytherins share a room. This year, unfortunately, there are only the three of you girls, so one of them must have a room alone."

A brown-haired girl hurriedly said, "If it's possible..."

"Unfortunately, Miss Stone, the room arrangement was made in advance by the school." Liana glanced back at her, and the girl named Stone lowered her head in embarrassment, "Johnson, you share a room with Stone, Orpington, I'm very sorry, you have to live alone for a year. If there are students who are alone next year, I will arrange to stay with you."

Olivia smiled and said, "Thank you, sister, I will follow the school's arrangement."

Liana nodded: "You go in, the schedule is already on your desk. As freshmen, you'd better act together with the seniors, the school—it's not completely safe."

Olivia said goodbye with a smile and walked into her room.
