Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Snape swung the lantern, and a flash of anger could be seen on Tonks' face, but then she was enveloped in darkness again.

Chapter 1283 Another year of school starts

It seemed like Snape would be seen first at the beginning of each year, and it was always under such unpleasant circumstances.

The three of them walked towards Hogwarts in the dark without speaking.

Snape exuded a dark and cold aura, and Ivan felt that he would not let the two of them go so easily.

"Let me see, fifty points from Gryffindor for being late," he said slowly, "Everyone!"

"But Ivan was not late, he..."

"Be quiet, Potter, after all these years you still haven't learned the rules, don't interrupt when I'm talking," Snape said, "Look at you, because you're wearing Muggle clothes, another fifty points will be deducted I don't think any college has deducted so many points at the beginning of the term and before the dessert is served. You have set a new record. Now, tell me, you two, why are you late?"

Ivan was silent, this question should be answered by Harry.But the anger and hatred in Harry's heart was almost white hot, and he clenched his fists tightly, preferring to go back to London stiff, rather than tell Snape why he was late.

After being silent for two or three seconds, Snape continued, "I don't know how to answer, do you? Let me guess, you probably want to make an appearance? The famous Mason and Potter, you can't get them this year Flying cars, you thought crashing into the auditorium in the middle of a party would have dramatic effect?"

Harry remained silent even though his lungs were going to explode.

He knew that Snape had come to pick him up for this, that he could have a few minutes of irritating and torturing himself without anyone hearing.

Ivan felt that it was almost the same, because Snape's momentum was completely directed towards Harry.

He was just being carried along, and Snape didn't even look at him.

After that, there was another long silence, and Hogwarts Castle was getting closer.

To be honest, Ivan was very curious about what Snape did during the summer vacation and did he get any latest information?

Voldemort probably didn't trust him very much now, after all, Snape hadn't proven his worth yet.

Of course, Voldemort trusts no one, that's the wrong word.

It should be, whether he believed Snape would remain loyal to him.Snape is still far away from being a loyal Death Eater. At the very least, he needs to prove his worth again, such as killing Dumbledore, or handing Harry over to Voldemort...

Ivan thought about it, and felt that he couldn't ask anything from Snape.

On the contrary, I can ask some questions about potions that I saw at the International Alchemy Conference before.

But before Ivan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Snape.

"Quiet, Mason, I'm not interested in your ridiculous summer adventures."

There was another long silence, and finally, the three of them came to the steps of the castle.

As the two oaken doors opened to reveal the wide flagged hall within, laughter and laughter and the clattering of cups and plates reached their ears through the open doors of the Great Hall.

It's really not good to walk in with such swagger when the banquet is in progress.Especially for Harry, who had been beaten by Malfoy and was still wearing Muggle clothes with his face disfigured from beatings, it was a complete shame to go in and endure his gaze.

He wondered if he could slip on the Invisibility Cloak and sneak unnoticed to sit at the Gryffindor table.

Inconveniently, the Gryffindor table was at the far end of the Great Hall.

"It's in place!" said Snape, seeming to read Harry's mind. "You two just go in like this, no tricks, Mason. And you, Potter, no invisibility cloak, no change of school uniform, let everyone Look at the way you look now, I believe this is exactly what you want."

Without hesitation, Harry strode through the open door, as long as he could get away from Snape.Ivan also hurriedly followed. There were four college dining tables in the auditorium, and there was a teaching staff dining table at the top. As usual, there were many floating candles adorning the sky, making the plates below shine brightly.

Harry walked so fast that Ivan almost had to trot all the way to keep up with him.

So, all of this is just a bright blur in their eyes.

When people noticed the two of them, Alvin and Harry had already crossed the Hufflepuff table.

And when they started to look at them curiously, they had walked to the Gryffindor table and sat down between Hermione and Ron.

"Where have you two been?" asked Hermione. "My God, Harry, what happened to your face?"

"There was an accident." Ivan said, "The dinner hasn't started yet, has it?"

"Not yet, the sorting ceremony just ended."

"And what did that hat say?"

"It's much the same as before, it's advising us to unite and face our enemies together."

"Dumbledore didn't mention Voldemort, did he?" interrupted Harry.

He clutched a spoon and squinted at the deformed face reflected in it.

"No, but he always speaks after the banquet."

Ron was also staring at that face, and said with some uncertainty, "Dude, you seem to have been beaten?"

"Hmm," said Harry vaguely, running his hands over his face, "how does my nose look?"

"It's normal." Hermione said worriedly, because of Ron's reminder, her eyes turned from Ivan to Harry, "But, Harry, what happened to your nose? What happened to you two? Why didn't catch the carriage, it really frightened us!"

"I'll tell you later," Harry said briefly.

With so many people around staring at them, he didn't want to talk about it.

Besides, it was such a shame that he wished they all thought he had done something brave, preferably up against two Death Eaters and a Dementor.Of course, Malfoy would certainly tell this story to everyone, but it might not reach the ears of too many Gryffindor classmates.

"But..." said Hermione.

"Let's talk about it later, the food is here." Ivan said, "Look, they have specially prepared food for Elaine."

There's an area where everything is marked for vampires, and it's all food made from blood.

"This year, there are three clansmen entering the school. My uncle called on them to send their children of the right age to Hogwarts. Those three guys have been sorted into Slytherin House." Elaine said, picked up the cup and took a sip of the inside "Why does this thing taste so strange, it doesn't seem to be dragon blood..."

Chapter 1284 The Third Change

Naturally, it wouldn't be dragon's blood, that thing was ridiculously expensive.

The school won't use dragon's blood for food, it's a waste of money.

Besides, vampires just need to replenish blood, any blood is fine, and they can also eat some other food appropriately.

Only a picky guy like Elaine would not eat anything but dragon blood.

Following the direction of her fingers, Ivan saw three nervous freshmen sitting at the end of the long Slytherin table.Their eyes are all red, although not as pure as Elaine's red, and their skin is also whiter than others. The Slytherin students are far away from the three of them, and no one has come close yet.

These three guys seem to be isolated by the Slytherins.

It's not surprising that this happens.This academy valued the students' surnames and family backgrounds, but the vampires of the Slytherin clan were not welcome here, because while they valued their backgrounds, the Slytherins paid more attention to the purity of rights and bloodlines.

Vampires certainly don't have much rights in the wizarding world, not so long ago they were dark beings that everyone wanted to beat.

So, are they pure blood?This is really an interesting question.

In Aiwen's view, vampires rely on First Embrace to inherit and complete physical transformation, not inheritance.

With a successful First Embrace, any wizard or even a Muggle can become a vampire.

Like Cedric, he is now, in a sense, a member of the Slytherin clan of vampires.

In this way, vampires come from a wide range of sources.

Don't talk about maintaining the purity of the bloodline, on the contrary, their behavior is simply a kind of tarnish to the pureblood, not to mention, their surname is still Slytherin, which is considered a shame to this ancient and noble surname.

The self-proclaimed superior Slytherins do not reject dark wizards, but it is difficult to accept these vampires.

There are also those terrible legends about vampires, which also make people afraid to approach them, such as biting people, spreading diseases, sleeping in coffins, turning into zombies, and so on.

Anyway, the three little ones had a hard time at Slytherin House.

They should actually choose the other three colleges, which would be better integrated into school life instead of being isolated by the students around them, but these vampires probably thought they should go to Slytherin House.

After all, it is nominally the academy their great ancestors founded.

So no matter what they encounter, they ask for it.

Ivan thinks that vampires are probably used to this kind of adversity.

Everything and unfair treatment they encountered in the magic world in the past was far more complicated and terrifying than in school.

His only hope is that these vampires don't become evil dark wizards after graduation.

In any case, this is a change, the third change since the beginning of this semester.

Starting this year, Hogwarts will recruit a few students of vampire origin every year. From the perspective of promoting integration, it can be regarded as a kind of progress in the magic world...

"Why didn't you say anything about it in the car?" Ivan asked, handing the remaining dragon's blood to Elaine.

"what's up?"

"It's the fact that you have people from your clan coming to Hogwarts to study."

"Oh, because there is nothing to say, I have a bad relationship with those three little guys, and I don't have much contact with each other." Elaine said, showing two canine teeth and making a grimace, "I warned them to stay away from me at school, otherwise they will see They beat them one at a time!"

Ai Wen was silent, this child's way of dealing with people is very problematic.

"Well, after all, they are also your clansmen. If they are willing to join the DA activities, you can invite them." Ai Wen said.

He plans to continue to expand the size of DA this semester, as a backup force against Voldemort.

Compared with students of the same age, vampires are much stronger. They are more aggressive and good at fighting. Even if the Slytherin clan has lost the support of the power of evil gods, they are still stronger than ordinary wizards.

It would be nice to be able to absorb them, and also prevent them from degenerating in that academy.

"If you want them to join the DA, I will find an opportunity to talk about it." Elaine replied, "The three of them are very afraid of me and dare not disobey my orders."

Aiwen looked at Elaine and felt that she really had a problem. She would not be the boss among the vampire children of the Slytherin clan...

While Ivan and Elaine were discussing the admission of vampires, Harry didn't look at the Slytherin table, because Draco Malfoy was describing how he smashed a nose, which made him sting The laughter and applause made Harry so angry that he really wanted to rush up and fight Malfoy face to face.

He turned his head vigorously and looked at the teacher's seat.

"Snape said Hagrid wasn't on time for the banquet either," said Harry.

"You met Snape?" Ron asked, gobbling his cake. "How come?"

"He's going to get us both," said Harry simply.

"That's too bad, he didn't do anything to you?" Hermione frowned. "Actually, Hagrid was only a few minutes late. He might have gone to take care of Glop. Look, Harry, he I'm waving to you."

At the teacher's table, Hagrid was waving to Harry enthusiastically, with a smile on his face.

Harry also smiled at Hagrid, and Professor McGonagall next to Hagrid pursed his lips and looked serious. He was completely different from Hagrid. She looked at Hagrid dissatisfied and reminded him not to wave his hands too far so big.

"Well, Professor Trelawney also came to the opening banquet?" Ivan also turned his attention to the teacher's seat.

On the other side of Professor McGonagall, he had a rare sight of Professor Trelawney.

She was as eccentric as ever, with glittering beads and a long shawl, and eyes magnified many times by glasses.

Surprisingly, Professor Trelawney rarely left her tower room.

The students had never seen her at the opening banquet before. Although many professors did not participate in the opening banquet, Professor Trelawney was definitely the most persistent one among them. Unexpectedly, she would take the initiative to come down this year.

"Did something happen?"

"Perhaps it was the Third Eye telling her she should come down and have dinner with everyone," said Hermione sarcastically.

Harry pursed his lips. He didn't agree with Hermione's thoughts. He had always regarded her as a liar before, but since he knew about the prophecy in the last semester, he knew that it was the prophecy that led Voldemort to kill his parents, and to After his own murder, his opinion of Professor Trelawney changed.

Anyway, he now felt that Professor Trelawney was a bit scary.

Seeing her frighteningly large, bulbous eyes looking in their direction, Harry looked away quickly...

Chapter 1285 Rumors of ghosts

At this moment, Nicole, who was almost headless, floated over, floating between Ivan and Harry.

"Hello, did you have a good summer vacation? Speaking of which, a lot of things really happened during this vacation!" He deliberately said in a very sad tone, shaking his head on his neck, and he looked obviously done Prepare, as if reciting, "A lot of people died, bad things happen every day, the magic world is in panic..."

"You're quite well-informed, you know everything." Ron said casually, and stuffed another piece of cake into his mouth. He swallowed hard while making an indistinct voice, "I dare say, you definitely didn't leave Hogwarts."

"I haven't left, but I can see it in the newspaper." Nicole said grumpily, a little displeased when Ron interrupted him, "Every morning, Dobby the house-elf would publish the latest issue of Hogger Watts Magic News gave it to me, and I will tell him the news I collected in the castle, from which I know what is currently happening in the magic world..."

In this way, the "Hogwarts Wizarding News" collects and sorts out information about the ghosts.

Every day, the house-elf apparates to the residences of various ghosts, collects various information, and then feeds it back to the newspaper headquarters, where a special editor is responsible for sorting it out. Dobby is responsible for the transmission of information in Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. .

In this way, as well as the house elves employed by Fred and George's shop, Ivan and the others have now become the second largest employer of house elves in the UK after Hogwarts. The house elves working for them The number of elves is increasing.Next, if the house elves in the underground world can be persuaded to come out to work, the number of elves they employ will even surpass Hogwarts and become the largest employer of house elves.

Hermione intends to use this method to gradually promote her idea of ​​SPEW, which is a new idea she came up with recently.

It sounds more reliable than the simple propaganda before, calling on everyone to treat house elves well.
