Snakes at Hogwarts

After research, Salazar Slytherin's hometown is located in the mire in eastern Ireland.

This also explains the origin of the line in the Sorting Song sung by the Sorting Hat in 1994: "The shrewd Slytherin comes from that quagmire."

In fact, the four founders of Hogwarts came from four parts of the British Isles: Scotland, Ireland, England and Wales.

"I understand, Professor Snape. I was about to tell them about the ritual."

Despite Snape's bad attitude, Senior Sister Farley still looked normal. As a prefect of Slytherin, she had already figured out the temper of the dean of her own school.

"As we all know, Slytherin greatly admired wizard dueling. Like Godric Gryffindor, he was a great duelist and spell master of his era.

Therefore, Slytherin has always had a special welcome ceremony, which is the wizard's duel. "

wizard duel

Are you kidding me?

Like all the confused freshmen, Andros was also dumbfounded.

He didn't know anything about these things that were not mentioned in the original work.

“Unlike other houses, in addition to the officially awarded prefects, Slytherin also has six substitute prefects who assist the prefects in running the house, which we call shadow prefects.

Shadow prefects are selected through duels. The winner of the duel in each grade will automatically become the shadow prefect of that grade. Although it is not recognized by the school, it cannot use the prefect box on the train and participate in Hogwarts prefects. meetings, but still with certain privileges.

Like regular prefects, shadow prefects have access to a separate dormitory and use of a dedicated washroom that only prefects can use.We believe that being the best in the same grade requires certain privileges, and Slytherin respects the strong. "

"Their task is to assist the prefects in managing students of the same grade. This can save me a lot of unnecessary time and energy. When the prefects graduate or resign from their positions as prefects for other reasons, the new official prefects will be there. Selected from among the shadow prefects.”

Senior Farley's words made many little snakes' eyes warm up. According to her, only by becoming a shadow prefect can one become a formal prefect.

Slytherins love power.

This shadow prefect sounds good.

Andros's mind also became active.

He didn't care about that little bit of power, nor was he interested in the so-called prefect's bathroom.

What Andros really cared about was a single dormitory.

If I can win, it will be very helpful for my future plans. It will definitely be much more convenient to do things by myself in a single dormitory.

Moreover, Ivar will be freer and can stay alone in his room while he goes to class.

"Of course, the seat of the shadow prefect is not always fixed. Others can take this position by challenging the shadow prefect of the same grade. Therefore, the shadow prefect must become the alpha wolf, otherwise, you will be regarded as The losers move out of their dormitories in despair."

There was a snicker from the crowd watching, no Slytherin would like a loser.

Unless he comes back stronger.

The strong are always strong, this is a principle that most Slytherins agree with.

"Now, all freshmen stand in the open space in the middle. Professor Snape's magic will protect you from any fatal harm." Senior Sister Farley's words made many Slytherin snakes shrink their necks involuntarily. .

"Professor Snape, I'm done."

"Then hurry up." Snape impatiently pulled out his wand. In the low voice of the curse, a silver rope-like misty silver thread poured out from the tip of Snape's wand and circled around the room in the lounge. A large circle was drawn in the clearing.

This must be some kind of barrier magic that I don't know yet.

"This kind of protection is not necessary at all. I never expected these little snakes that don't even have fangs to use any clever magic." Snape said sarcastically.

Looking at these timid freshmen, Snape continued to speak sarcastically.

"But if anyone dares to wield the wand like a club like a troll or a brainless Gryffindor, I guarantee that I will give him an impressive welcome."

Snape's mouth really stinks.

Can't he talk properly?

As one of the people who were ridiculed by Snape, Andros was madly complaining about this venomous old bat spirit in his heart.

Forget it, don't think about it anymore, if I remember correctly, Snape was a brilliant Legilimency master.

Realizing that Snape was looking at him, Andros quickly put away his little thoughts.

"The rules of the duel are very simple. First, you are not allowed to use the Unforgivable Curse. Second, you are not allowed to continue attacking wizards who leave the duel range. Third, the person standing at the end will be the winner."

These little snakes who had just entered school looked at each other. Although most of them came from pure-blood nobles and had mastered many magic spells before the start of school, wizard duels

My Lord Merlin, before today, this was just a word from a wizarding tale.

They had never imagined that such a duel would happen to them so suddenly.

Not to mention, there was still such a large-scale melee.

"If anyone wants to quit, walking out of the silver circle will be considered a waiver."

"Now, let's get started"
