Hogwarts Slytherin

Chapter 116 Potter’s Sandbag

The Daily Prophet published a news about the mysterious death of a Ravenclaw graduate, with the familiar Dark Mark behind it.

This was a signal, a signal that Voldemort publicly conveyed to the wizarding world.

A signal for those naughty neutral families to take a stand.

Ravenclaw is the house with the most pure bloods besides Slytherin, and there are many well-known nobles among them.

Most of them have a neutral attitude. Whether it is the Order of the Phoenix and Death Eaters outside, or Gryffindor and Slytherin in the school, Ravenclaw always chooses to stay out of the struggle between the two parties.

Paranoid blood theories are not popular among Ravenclaws, but they do not want to get too close to marrow wizards.

It is worth mentioning that Slytherin has more boys than girls, while Ravenclaw has more girls than boys. There are also many purebloods who will marry after graduation.

This time, because Voldemort chose Ravenclaw for surgery, this group of students who admired wisdom were both afraid and angry.

Ravenclaw began to intentionally unite with Gryffindor, and a hurricane targeting Slytherin grew bigger and bigger inside Hogwarts.

Dramas such as provocations, duels, and injuries were performed every day in the castle.

What happened didn't have much impact on Reggie, he had his own ideas.

You need to become famous early. To be honest, he has already had enough limelight.

If you show off your sharp edge, you will become the target of public criticism; if you keep a low profile, you will be considered easy to bully by others.

A smart person knows when to restrain his edge. Under the current situation, he believes that the most important thing is to improve his strength.

Ruiji is not afraid of trouble, but since he can choose to avoid it, why bother asking for trouble, let alone one that has no reward at all.

In Slytherin, apart from a few conflicts with the senior group, others were still very convinced of him. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't seem so "smart" - being close to half-bloods and mudbloods, many people would I would be very happy to be friends with him.

Although he had more contact with Gryffindor people due to the DAM club and some reasons, he had always kept a distance from Gryffindor, at least on the surface.

The conflict between Gryffindor and Slytherin is actually the conflict between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters.

It’s not enough to cut ties with both sides, but you have to be careful when stepping on two different sides.

The bald wizard who was always smiling flashed through Reggie's mind, "My dean is a smart man."

What he should do now is like Professor Slughorn. Only in this way can he be safe and worry-free in the next period of time.

But Snape and Lily on the other side suffered a disaster.

Some people within Gryffindor have already expressed their dissatisfaction with Lily's closeness to a Slytherin. If Potter and others hadn't jumped out to defend...

The two often did homework together in the library, and the gossip in the college put Lily under tremendous pressure.

Snape was not like this. Due to the strength of Regis and others, although they did not dare to bully him head-on, they made small moves and cynicism in private one after another.

No matter how bad the situation was, they never thought about giving up on each other. Instead, they cherished their friendship even more so far. They chose to withstand the pressure and maintained their friendship with difficulty.

******

If there were no History of Magic, then Ancient Runes would surely have been selected as the most suitable class for sleeping in Hogwarts.

Although few people took this course, their initial curiosity faded, and many students soon lost interest in it.

As always, after Professor Fernando gave a gentle lecture for 10 minutes, like dominoes, after the first student lay down, the backs of his head were filled with desks one after another.

No matter how good Professor Fernando's lecture was, for Reggie, who had already started alchemy, the basic ancient magic symbols were completely unable to keep him focused.

He stared at Professor Fernando, as if he was listening carefully, but in fact he was guessing the true age of the professor who taught Dumbledore.

Think of how old Dumbledore looks now!

"Is it the effect of the potion? If it is the potion, I bet it will be more attractive to witches than immortality." Reggie speculated, and he carefully looked at the smooth face of Professor Fernando on the podium. Trance.

"You look like you've been drugged by Professor Fernando's love potion." Snape said in a contemptuous tone.

"I dare say that many girls want to give me a love potion." Reggie looked away, "Speaking of which, Severus, please provide me with some antidote to the love potion."

He thought for a while and then added: "Also, what materials are needed for the contraceptive potion? Help me prepare it."

A big hole was poked into the parchment Snape was taking notes on.

"Let me remind you, you just--"

"Mr. Snape." Professor Fernando's expression was gentle, but his eyes were very cold. "Why can't you imitate the classmates behind you and sleep on your stomach? If you disturb Reggie again, I will regretfully deduct points from Slytherin." ."

"Puch!" The surrounding students began to cover their mouths and snicker.

With just one look from Professor Fernando, everyone immediately calmed down again.

Snape's face suddenly turned red. He was annoyed and angry at Professor Fernando's obvious partiality, and he opened his mouth to argue.

In the end, he was defeated by Professor Fernando's warning eyes.

After class, Snape was asked to write an extra minute and fifteen inches about how to make love potions.

Reggie couldn't help but laughed immediately.

The only thing worse than speaking ill of someone behind their back is being overheard.

Reggie gloated about his misfortune, which made Snape even more annoyed. He ignored him until the fighting training began.

******

Since the last time they proposed to teach Lily how to duel, they have formulated relevant training plans.

After two trainings, Reggie's mental journey has gone from being gentle and patient at the beginning to wanting to hit the red-haired witch on the head with the wand in his hand.

They found an empty classroom to practice in.

"Pay attention Lily! We are in a duel now. Do you know what a duel is?" Reggie, who always seemed very gentle, looked extremely cold at this moment.

"You need to have a firm belief in winning! In a real battle, failure means death." Reggie became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Give her some time, Reggie." Snape said at the right time, which eased the condensed atmosphere a little. He looked at Lily, who was in messy clothes, with worry.

Reggie was stunned for a moment, "I'm sorry, Lily, I-"

"It's okay, Reggie, I know you want to help me." Lily carelessly put the red hair on her cheek behind her ear and smiled sweetly.

Her palms were worn out, and she had been knocked away by Reggie's spell just now. Fortunately, she was wearing Reggie's special robe, and she didn't suffer any injuries when she fell to the ground, but the pain was real.

Reggie's expression softened slightly, but he spoke in a very solemn tone: "Your action of waving the wand is still not decisive enough. In addition, you must be determined to defeat me when you chant the spell, just like this - fainted!"

"Bang" The table pointed by the wand was overturned by the spell.

Reggie put away his wand and his expression softened: "Lily, try it on - Severus, cough, Severus, don't resist."

Snape's expression was suffocated, and his expression became strange, but when his eyes touched Lily, who was looking slightly embarrassed at the moment, he finally pursed his lips and put away the wand in his hand, as if he was ready to be slaughtered.

"Oh~ I can't."

"It's okay, Lily, give it a try."

"That's right, Lily. Is there anyone you hate? Think of someone you hate and imagine Snape as that person."

Not sure what she was thinking of, Lily blushed and straightened her messy clothes, staring straight at Snape.

The flush on her face faded, and suddenly, as if she had made some kind of decision, her eyes suddenly became sharp, thinking of Reggie's words.

"Passed out!"

Reggie clenched his wand calmly.

Snape also clenched his fists subconsciously.

Then, Snape felt a push and couldn't help but take two steps back.

Then there is no more then.

Reggie: "..."

Snape: "..."

Lily: "..."

Perhaps seeing Reggie's devastated look, Lily couldn't bear to comfort her and said, "Well, Reggie, you taught him very well, but I can't be cruel to Sif."

Snape stood there seemingly calmly, holding his hands together unnaturally, lowering his head slightly and having half of his face obscured by his long hair.

Reggie took a quick look, and the exposed half of his face flushed uncontrollably, and he felt a little bit dumbfounded for a moment.

"Of course, I can't do anything about you! You are good teachers, but I think if it were you, I would never be able to learn dueling." Lily quickly comforted her, her eyes were as bright as stars, and she didn't seem to be able to duel. Not discouraged by consecutive failures.

It seems that this is indeed the case. They can only suspend the training plan and the duel instructor can only think of a suitable plan.

But none of them expected that this problem would be solved soon.

After class, the students eagerly rushed to a wooden board, and Filch was nailing it to the wall with a hammer.

"bang bang bang"

Many students in the crowd wanted to pick up their wands and dig a hole in the wall, but they knew that if they did that, they would be deducted points from the college and be imprisoned by Filch.

Ever since the news that Filch was a Squib spread at Hogwarts, his classmates were not surprised at what perverted things he could do.

After finally waiting for him to leave, everyone pushed each other forward and stretched their necks to see clearly what was on the board.

This is Professor Flitwick's masterpiece.

Inspired by the inter-school wizard dueling competition, Professor Flitwick reopened his dueling club. A clever spell was cast on the template, with a large list of names clearly arranged on it.

The names of every member who participated in the Duel Club were recorded on it, and everyone noticed that the points at the end were all "0".

Because the club has just opened and has not yet held a competition, after that, the points above will be changed after each club activity, and the top scorers at the end of the semester will be rewarded by Professor Flitwick.

"Hey, buddy, have you joined the Duel Club too?" Potter squeezed out of the crowd and was about to walk towards the auditorium, when he happened to see Reggie and the others walking towards him at the top of the stairs.

"Yes, you are also participating?"

"Of course, you have to know that Sirius still wanted to refuse at that time and almost missed such a fun thing, right?" Potter stopped Sirius' shoulders and sounded excited.

Sirius pushed Potter away and taunted: "I thought it was the same club as that old slug. Looking at it now, I hope it won't disappoint me."

Reggie was noncommittal, knowing in his heart that the "old slug" they were referring to was Professor Slughorn.

In fact, except for Slytherin students, everyone in other houses called him this in private. To some extent, it was also revenge for being called by the wrong name all the time.

"Hey, Lily, are you joining too?" Potter scratched the back of his head with a silly smile on his face.

"No, I'm not good at attack spells. Reggie and Sif are helping me with tutoring." With her friends around, Lily gave Potter a rare good look.

Ever since Potter became strange in front of her, Lily had only given him a good look very few times, and the relationship between the two seemed to have returned to the first grade.

"What?! That's great, no, I mean we happen to be pretty good at attacking spells, and we can help you train, right, Sirius!"

"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm sorry, I think..."

"Don't be embarrassed, Lily, helping others is a good Gryffindor tradition." Potter made a nondescript gentlemanly gesture.

Then, as if that wasn't enough, he snatched the book from Lily's hand and said, "This is too heavy, Lily, let me take it for you."

Lily endured it again and again, her hand holding the wand tightly made everyone think that she was going to shoot a curse at Potter in the next second.

"That's enough Potter!"

"Okay, you guys can come together." Reggie abruptly interrupted Lily's unspoken refusal.

Lily looked confused and asked Reggie with her eyes.

But he didn't say anything.

Snape suddenly pursed his lips, his eyes looking very happy.

Eventually, Potter took a reluctant Sirius into Lily's dueling training program.

And at this moment, Potter, who was so silly and happy, soon couldn't laugh anymore.

He was still smugly happy that he could show off his skills in front of the girl he liked.

******

In the past few days, Gryffindor students have discovered that the famous troublemaker, James Potter, has become more honest. He has not deducted points from the academy for several days, but instead holds a copy of "Advanced Spells" in his hand every day. The lounge looked attentively.

Everyone lamented his change, but only the plunderers knew that he was only preparing for the "winner plan to charm Lily".

Until the day of Lily's training.

"Ow!"

"Boom"

The figure and the wail of flesh hitting the ground could be anyone other than Potter sandbags.

Reggie couldn't bear to look at it. He had finally seen what it means to prove the Tao with one's own body today.

If someone passes by outside, I am afraid that the rumor that Hogwarts has a torture chamber will be confirmed. After all, Filch always likes to tell students about the good old days when Hogwarts could use torture on students.
