Chapter 16 The Sad Spirit of Gryffindor

Gryffindor Proverbs [-]: We are curious, we are reckless, and we are honest Gryffindors "Draco, have you just seen the news clipping? The things in the vault were the ones that Hagrid and I Go and mention it." After returning from Hagrid's hut, Harry, who had discovered the old news that Gringotts had been robbed and caused countless conjectures, pulled Draco to repeat excitedly as if he had discovered a secret. "I've seen it. It's a tattered little bag. It's the size of a child's fist. It's inconspicuous at all. What kind of precious thing can it be? Some people even went to rob banks. Hagrid also told me that Gringotts is The safest place in the world, and said anyone would be crazy if they wanted to rob a goblin bank."

Forced to eat the rock cake made by the giant, Draco, whose teeth are still aching, is not in a good mood. "The value has nothing to do with the shape and size of the object."

"Hagrid said that the principal asked him to take it. Draco, you said that such a valuable thing, if it is not safe to even store it in a bank, where would it be now?"

"What do you think?" Draco looked at him with a half-smile, "Did you forget the principal's warning when school started?"

Harry thought for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "The restricted corridor on the third floor!" That's right, besides the goblin's bank, where else is safer than Hogwarts school?All the top wizards in Britain are teachers in this school!

"Do you want to go and see?"

Harry tugged at Draco's sleeve, saying he was not curious would be lying.The headmaster warned that the place was dangerous when the school started. Although he didn't quite believe it, it seemed that none of the students around him wanted to experience it, so he didn't know if he should take the risk. After all, that thing was similar to him. It doesn't matter, does it?

Harry was in a fierce ideological struggle...

Then, on the first weekend night at school, two Slytherins slipped out of the common room to explore.

"If the godfather knows about our night tour, he will throw us into the cauldron to make potions." Draco frightened Harry, who was obviously overexcited as soon as he stepped out of the cellar, "If we are killed by Filch and his If a cat catches us, he will hang us in the basement with chains and iron locks, flog us, flay our skin, fry our bones... This is a punishment that has been practiced at Hogwarts for hundreds of years." - In the Middle Ages, of course.

It was believable that Harry turned a little blue.

"So follow me and don't run around!" Draco easily got the green-eyed feline chick's nod of assurance.

Relying on Draco's familiarity with the castle, they avoided Peeves, Mrs. Norris and Filch, and easily reached the corridor on the third floor without encountering any obstacles. In front of the dilapidated oak door , Draco waved his wand, and the lock opened without a sound.

"Ready?"

Harry nodded, gripping his wand tightly, though he didn't know exactly what his wand could be used for.

Push the door, flash in.

One... one big dog that seemed to fill the room, three heads, three mouths that drool like streams, and countless teeth, and six dogs that were bigger than light bulbs. They stared at the two little wizards who suddenly broke in...

"Ah!" Compared to being eaten by a monster with three big dogs, Harry felt that being boiled into a potion by Professor Snape and being fried by Filch was no longer a terrible thing. .

Draco covered Harry's screaming mouth, and when the three big dogs started to attack, he turned around in time with his agility trained in martial arts since childhood, and blocked the attack of the sharp teeth like daggers with the door panel, Then step out, close the door, and lock it!

Although he was mentally prepared, Draco swore that at that moment, he really admired the courage of the Golden Triangle of Gryffindor back then!

Harry hugged Draco in shock, and the blood on his face was gone. Fortunately, fortunately, Draco reacted quickly enough just now, just a little bit...they were bitten.He still doesn't seem to have any feeling in his legs.

"In the future, will you still come to explore in the future?" Draco's voice was also a little breathless, and he looked down at the little black cat with green eyes that was still hanging on his body with its claws not loose.

Harry's head shook like a rattle, and he swore he would never indulge his curiosity again.And Harry dared to assert that no matter what it was, it would be absolutely safe in Hogwarts. Who could beat a big dog with three heads, three mouths, and three sets of teeth?

-

"Sorry to bother you," a soft female voice interrupted Harry, who was doing his homework in the library. When he looked up, he recognized Hermione Granger.

"Mr. Potter, if you finish reading "Wizard Events in Medieval England", can you lend it to me?" Hermione's voice was so small that it was almost a whisper.

Harry tilted his head, and spread out a large space for books, "History of Magic homework? If Miss Granger doesn't mind, you can come over and read it together. I've just started, I'm afraid I'll have to wait." For a while."

"Well, okay!" Hermione sat down and spread out her homework parchment.

It has to be said that Harry can find useful knowledge points more easily if he can do homework with a smart witch, so he only took half the time for the History of Magic homework that was originally planned to be completed in an hour.

"You're so smart, I think you're as smart as Draco." Although that was different.Harry thought, Draco was great because he knew everything because he was erudite, and Miss Granger seemed to be more keen to grasp useful information from the unknown world. "Draco thought you'd be assigned to Gryffindor. I mean, you're as smart as Miss Granger, so you should go to Ravenclaw, right?"

"Don't call me Miss Granger, call me Hermione. You just said that your Slytherin prince?" Hermione heard the evaluation from her classmates, but seriously, Draco Malfoy It really fits everything about a prince described in a fairy tale, extraordinary family background, excellent appearance, blond hair, and always behaves elegantly, well-mannered, and has good grades.Even with Slytherin's notoriously unpopular reputation, no one could ever say anything wrong about Malfoy.Maybe he's a little difficult to get close to, but at least he never shows a disgusting self-righteousness and superiority like other Slytherins. where to go.

"Ravenclaw has a rich collection of books. I think since I read all the textbooks during the holidays, it would be good to read more books in the rest of the time." Hermione admitted that when she heard Draco Mal on the train When Fu said that she should read some extracurricular books to enrich herself in her spare time, she began to be moved. "Besides, I wouldn't care if Gryffindors were empty-headed, bragging fools with no winks or sympathy. They're too reckless to say that to your face... yes So, they didn't pester you anymore?"

Harry shrugged his shoulders, blushing a little, facing this witch who always spoke up for justice and seemed to have a strong affection for him, he was a little helpless playing with a piece of paper in his hand, "Slytherin seems to be the same as Gryffindor It's too much water and fire."

"This is contrary to ideas! There is no doubt," Queen Hermione commented authoritatively, "my senior sister said that Slytherins value their honor very much. But look at Gryffindor, they have no sense of honor at all, Look at the jeweled hourglass in the lobby, they know how to deduct points for mischief, I doubt anyone would care, there are not even Gryffindors reading and previewing in the library all weekend, so how can they prepare for their house How about earning points? Mr. Potter, do you have a library slip in your hand?"

"You can just call me Harry. The extra-curricular reference book Draco wrote me." Harry handed the note.

Hermione has three eyes and three lines. To be honest, the name alone is attractive enough. She can guarantee that the books in it must be very, very useful. You must know that the Hogwarts library is too big. Of course there are treasures that have been passed down for thousands of years. But there are also a lot of messy and flashy things, and she has to admit that a lot of knowledge is repeated, which is a waste of time.

"He looks as if he has read all the books here." Looking at the clearly screened book list, the little witch was a little bit shocked, and marveled that the title of prince was not for nothing, "I wish I could have such a powerful friend .”

"Of course friends!" Harry stuttered as he rubbed his book list, "I mean, can we...be...friends?"

"Of course!" Hermione nodded generously, "If it's a friend, after you finish reading these books, don't you mind lending me the next one?"

"We could each have half and then swap," Harry suggested.

"That's good too!" Hermione was very happy, "Don't forget to take study notes, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort after we exchange."

After two weeks of school, everything was on track, Harry gradually got used to the pace of life in the school, and Draco slowly left their homework group and always disappeared without a trace——Draco was busy Analyzing the material selection of that ancient pairing with Professor Snape, in the vaguely poetic description, they hesitated among the nine possible materials. If they want to fully test how these nine materials are combined, they There would have to be hundreds of trials, so Draco really didn't have any time.

And thanks to the foundation laid by Draco, as well as the borrowed extracurricular books and the reading notes exchanged with Hermione, Harry still plays a leading role in front of the descendants of these ancient families.So, life is in class, homework, reading, taking notes, and going to the Potions Office regularly to report and deal with various potion raw materials, and calmly under the ignorance of Professor Snape and Draco's useful tips Spent.

But Harry Potter's life is not destined to be plain, his long-awaited flying lesson turned into a disaster in the end.

A few weeks after school started, flying lessons began.The little Slytherins were a little upset because the notice said they were going with Gryffindor, and it was even more annoying to have to have the flying lesson suspended not long after the class started because of Neville the Crucible Killer's flying accident. Disappointed, but nothing made Harry more angry than the Gryffindor lion's provocation after Mrs. Hodge sent Neville to the hospital wing.

"Hey, look who this is, it's Slytherin's baby!" The word Ron said in a sarcastic tone made Harry's face turn red instantly.

Draco is a well-deserved Prince of Slytherin. Although Harry is responsible for adding points in every class, it is strange that everyone in Slytherin seems to feel that Draco Malfoy is more difficult to mess with... Well, Slytherins can't have two princes, can they?And from the appearance, Harry seems to be a little bit far from the "Prince" in the concept.

According to Slytherin's official statement, Harry is the "Slytherin Golden Boy". .Some of the closer ones, such as Zabini and his ilk, preferred to use the tone of seniors' sarcasm, calling Harry 'Slytherin's baby', although Harry protested many times.

It's okay to talk about this kind of nickname among friends, but it's not so comfortable to say it from the mouth of hostile people.

"That's none of your business!" Harry said coldly.

"You are a Gryffindor traitor!" Ron said with a very unreasonable expression, and there was a group of Gryffindors behind him, "The Potter family is a traditional Gryffindor, your father Mom even fought Death Eaters all her life to the death, and you ran into the arms of the Death Eaters and became a little Death Eater! Your parents will be ashamed of you, and if they live, your dad will put If you are removed from the family, your mother will want to strangle you, a bad bastard!"

Harry's face instantly turned paler than that of the Bloody Barrow.

"Apologize!"

No one knows how Draco moved to Ron Weasley's side, it seemed that in the blink of an eye, he moved from one end to the other, holding Ron's collar in one hand, making his face look awkward The red turned purple, and he held the palm of his hand against his chin, as if a curse was about to be blurted out at any moment.

"Slytherin's dignity cannot be trampled on, apology!"

"You... ho cough, ho ho—" Ron couldn't utter a word at all, and the people next to him had no doubt that Weasley hadn't been killed by the curse, and he was about to be strangled to death by Malfoy.

The righteous little lions roared and pulled out their wands, swearing that as long as Malfoy dared to move, they would do justice for the heavens!

And the little snakes also sneered and pulled out their wands, not to be outdone, and hissed at the enemy.

The lion-snake battle was finally triggered by a white light that clearly attacked Draco's back. No one knows who sent it, but what does it matter?The important thing is that this was an obvious attack signal, so the two sides fought as they wished.

There are very few people who throw spells at each other, what will happen to the first grade Xiaodoubao?All body-to-body wrestling together!But even so, there are still a few family heirs on the Slytherin side who can use one or two small mischievous spells, such as the Tickle Charm, but even such a slight difference in strength eventually led to the little snakes gaining the upper hand—— That's right, Zabini and the others used curses to put down all the powerful Gryffindors, and the rest were just squished and rounded by the little snakes?

Ron was in a lot of trouble. Draco's curse strength cannot be doubted. Even if he was asked to cast [Cruciatus], Draco should be able to succeed with his current strength. Of course, it can't be so obvious, but hairy curse, fire The whole combination of roast heat and slugs is enough to keep him lying in the hospital wing for a few days.

"stop--!"

A [loud] roar came from the direction of the castle, the little lion with a bruised nose and the little snakes with messy clothes and hair all turned their heads, and saw their dean staring at them with low pressure all over his body—all stiff.

It was Professor McGonagall who first saw all this from the window of his office, and then hurriedly handed it over to Professor Snape who was grading homework in the cellar—when the two most unprofessional Bosses recognized by the school joined forces, nothing was I don't know.

The only two children whose clothes looked neat were Harry and Draco. Harry had obviously experienced something bad. Although he was trying his best to cover it up, his face was still pale when faced with Professor Snape's questioning. , so angry that even his lips were still trembling, he couldn't say anything at all, so the task of explaining was placed on Draco Malfoy, that downright little viper.

"Weasley first insulted Harry with blood. He said Harry was a traitor. Then he insulted Slytherin. He said that Harry entered Slytherin full of Death Eaters and would become a small Death Eater in the future. He also said that if Harry's parents lived, he would be expelled from the family, and his mother would even strangle him with her own hands."

The 11-year-old Draco didn't know about Professor Snape's bad love triangle more than ten years ago, but it doesn't mean that the [-]-year-old Draco didn't know.He was sorry if it caused the godfather to recall sadly, but he thought that a Slytherin would be more angry than sad when he heard such an insult, "I asked Weasley to apologize for insulting the dignity of Slytherin, I Pointed my wand at him and threatened, but I didn't do it."

Professor McGonagall looked sharply at the remaining lion cubs, but could not hear any rebuttal from them, so this should be the truth, "Who made the move first?"

Under the accusations of many lion cubs, his hair was scratched into a mess, Gore stood up in a mess, and raised his hands in a panic to promise, "Professor-I, I swear, I saw someone rushing to Draco He cast a spell behind his back and charged at them."

"Really?" Professor Snape's death light swept across all Gryffindors.

All honest little lions: "..."

Very good, insulting people first, hands later, no matter from which point of view, the Gryffindor lion cub has caused a lot of trouble. Since he couldn't find out the mistakes for everyone, the angry Professor McGonagall once He deducted 150 points from his academy!However, Slytherin, who was a passive confrontation and eventually became a successful perpetrator, "did not maintain enough reason and calmness, and used violence to hurt his classmates, causing many students to be injured." ' Fifty points were also deducted by the impartial Professor McGonagall.

Immediate confinement punishment, I believe that the happiest person in the whole school is probably Mr. Filch, the building manager, because until Christmas, he will have free labor for him to drive at will.

Professor McGonagall took Ron, the culprit who was in a coma, and other people who were injured and needed treatment to the medical wing, and before Professor Snape left, he just ordered the gang in his voice slightly above a whisper to 'like a giant Strange Brainstorm', "I hope to see Slytherin's jeweled hourglass back in its rightful place in two weeks' time," before drifting off the Quidditch pitch like a black mist.

The little snakes also began to walk towards the castle in twos and threes in dejection.

Draco ruffled Harry's hair, said something in a low voice, and pulled him along.

"Hey, Draco, were you okay just now?" Zabini took a few steps back and slapped Draco on the shoulder.

Draco glanced at Zabini with a half-smile, "What can I do? What did you do just now?"

"Floating spell." The little black snake Zabini spat happily, without paying attention, "Obviously you are too heavy, and my spell has failed."

The corner of Draco's mouth twitched, "How can you call it a failure? It was very successful in deducting a hundred points from those stupid lions. I have never seen such a powerful spell."

The two little poisonous snakes looked at each other and smiled, spit out a message and went back to the cellar in a grand manner.
