From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

Chapter 17 Public Lounge

The fruits and desserts on the golden plates disappeared, and it seemed that the dinner was coming to an end.

Ivy looked at the long table of faculty and staff, and Dumbledore had stood up, and the originally noisy hall became quiet.

"Now that everyone is full and drunk, I want to say a few more words to everyone. At the beginning of the semester, I want to give you a few points of attention." Dumbledore's white beard trembled, and his voice echoed in the hall, "First of all, for first-year students, the school's Forbidden Forest is prohibited for all students. And some students who are not coming to Hogwarts for the first time should also remember this."

Ivy knew that Dumbledore was talking about the Weasley twins, but for him who always regarded the Forbidden Forest as his home, the warning made by Dumbledore was more or less deterrent.

"Secondly, the administrator Mr. Filch also asked me to remind everyone not to cast magic in the corridor during class."

Ivy could understand the anger of the Squib.

"Then, the review of Quidditch players will be held in the second week of this semester. Students who are interested in joining the college team should contact Madam Hooch."

For a high-risk personal heroic sport, just sit and watch. Ivy will not participate in it personally.

"Finally, I must tell everyone that anyone who does not want to encounter an accident or a painful death, please do not enter the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor."

Oh, Ivy remembers this. Inside is the Philosopher's Stone, the highest masterpiece of alchemy.

It can also be called the Philosopher's Stone or the Philosopher's Stone. It can turn base metals into precious metals and make people immortal.

The maker is Nicolas Flamel, who is also very famous in the Muggle world. He is usually called Nicholas Flamel. It is said that he left a lot of alchemical works, and even Newton studied his manuscripts.

Although Nicolas Flamel and his wife are alive with the elixir made by the Philosopher's Stone, they can only be said to be alive.

A body that has lost its youthful vitality is powerless in everything, and Ivy does not intend to fall into the same situation as him.

Besides, he himself is now 144 years old. As long as he understands the principle of ancient magic that makes him rejuvenate, immortality is not a dream at all, and he can even stay young forever.

Isn't this much better than Nicolas Flamel, who has osteoporosis and can't even shake hands?

"Now, before everyone goes to bed, let's sing the school song together!" Dumbledore raised his wand and said loudly, and the professors who had just eaten at the same table with him froze their smiles.

Dumbledore tapped his wand lightly, and a long golden light band flew out from it, twisting and winding like a snake above the dining table to form lines of text. Those are the lyrics of the Hogwarts school song.

"Everyone chooses their favorite tune." Dumbledore said, "Ready, sing!"

Hogwarts×4

Teach us knowledge, whether we are bald old men,

or children who fell and hurt their knees, our minds can accept some interesting things.

Because now our heads are empty, full of air, dead flies and trivialities,

Teach us some valuable knowledge, give us back what we have forgotten, you just have to do your best,

The rest is up to us, we will study hard until it turns into dung.

"Oh! Great!" Ivy exclaimed lifelessly, "It can sing the school song like a fight. Fortunately, there is only one school in the whole UK, otherwise Hogwarts will definitely get the last place in the school song chorus competition."

Dumbledore used his wand to direct the Weasley twins to sing the last few summaries according to the melody of "Funeral March". Then he wiped the tears that filled his eyes perhaps because of being moved, and said emotionally: "Music is more charming than anything we do here! It's time to go to bed now. Everyone go back to the dormitory."

Dumbledore's words marked the end of the collective activity of the opening dinner, so Ivy immediately changed his school robe back to the robe of Slytherin relics.

Led by the prefects of the four colleges, the young wizards were going back to their respective common rooms.

Ivy, Malfoy and his two bodyguards, Cassandra, and a few other Slytherin first-year students who Ivy didn't pay much attention to, led by the female prefect Gemma Farley, walked through the crowd and into a staircase leading underground.

Slytherin's common room and dormitory are underground, next to the castle's dungeon.

The entrance looks like a featureless stone wall, but when Slytherin students approach, a giant stone snake statue will wriggle out of the wall, and only after the correct password is given will the giant snake become the door to the common room.

"Glory." Gemma Farley, the head girl, read out the password, and the giant snake statue arched its body and turned into the door of the common room. Before entering, Gemma turned back and told the little wizards, "'Glory', this is the password of the common room. It is usually changed every two weeks and will be announced on the bulletin board in the common room. You must remember to check it, and don't forget the password, otherwise you will have to wait for others to open the door for you."

The first-year students nodded silently, and Gemma led everyone into the Slytherin common room.

No mistake, one post, one content, one book, one bar!

This looks like a long, narrow, low dungeon, and in fact it is. Even the students' dormitories are mostly converted from prison cells.

There are some lights tied with chains hanging from the ceiling. Because of the green lampshades, the whole lounge has a cold and gloomy atmosphere.

However, the furniture in the common room is very luxurious. As the college with the most pure-blood nobles among its alumni, Slytherin receives a lot of furniture as gifts from various pure-blood families every year. Sometimes it is velvet cushions, and sometimes it is various tables and chairs with exquisite carvings.

In short, Slytherin may not be the most cozy and comfortable among the four colleges, but it must be the most luxurious.

There is a huge floor-to-ceiling window in the lounge, and the Black Lake of Hogwarts is outside the window. Since the Slytherin lounge is located underground, even in the daytime, the light that can shine through the window is really limited, not to mention that it is night now, and there is only dark lake water outside the window.

Waiting for Ivy and other first-year students in the lounge is another wizard. It is not difficult to see from the badge on his chest that he is also a prefect like Gemma Farley.

"Welcome! Welcome to become a member of Slytherin." The male prefect said, "You should know that before you entered the school, Slytherin had won the house cup for six consecutive years. Therefore, our mission this school year is still to keep it in Slytherin."
