Hogwarts Slytherin

"Where do you find the time to read so many books?" Travers was more curious about the timing issue, "The books at Lestrange's house - I can understand this, but Snape, you... ....”

Greengrass had always heard that Snape came from a poor family. He wore second-hand robes when he entered school, and even his books were second-hand old books. Did he have rich learning resources before he entered school?

"Rigi helped me filter out a lot of meaningless books." Snape told the truth.

Most of the books he read he asked Reggie for his opinion before reading, and Reggie taught him everything he could with his strong financial resources and the knowledge he had previously memorized from the Mark of Slytherin.

Furthermore, since he came up with the idea of ​​building a library in the magical world, Reggie has spent a lot of gold galleons to acquire magic books. This is one of the big reasons why he does whatever he can to earn gold galleons now.

"And if we don't join the club, if we don't quarrel with Gryffindor, we won't be punished with solitary confinement." Snape thought for a while and then added dryly.

This means they have more time to study.

"I think it's because you can master a lot of magic spells in class, without extra practice time after class, and you can quickly find reference materials when writing papers." Vivian came over to return Reggie's Transfiguration class notes .

No matter how in-demand the seats in the library are, or how many people go to the campus hospital due to stress, the final exams still come as scheduled.

Charms, Potions, and Transfiguration are practical exams, while the others are written exams.

"Very good, Reggie." Professor Flitwick from the Charms class watched with great satisfaction as Deanna made an apple rotate at a constant speed in the air, and then accurately fell into the third floating cup.

"Today is Reggie's birthday." On Tuesday morning, Lily walked to the dining table of several people and announced the news.

The looters all looked at her with wide eyes and surprise.

"What?" James drawled, "Lee-Evans, how do you know Reggie's birthday?"

"Potter!" Lily gave him a stern look.

Perhaps, she could consider returning to Hogwarts as a professor after graduation, and wizards would experience the fear of being dominated by two Professor McGonagall.

James giggled, forgetting to ask for the reason for a moment, scratched the back of his head that always raised a tuft of hair disobediently, and said, "We must throw him a party! By the way, why didn't you tell us your birthday before?"

"Why should I tell you!" Lily snorted, "Besides, Remus knows my birthday!"

Lupine lowered his head silently under James's glare. He could always remember the birthdays of his friends.

But this time - he did forget Reggie's birthday.

"Hey, Evans." Sirius said in a cheerful voice. "Have you prepared a gift?"

"of course."

Lily was almost smiling, "Didn't you, Blake? Oh, I wouldn't forget my best friend's birthday if it were me."

Lily cast suspicious eyes on several other marauders. The boys had enough reason to believe that if he said no, he would not be able to talk to Lily today, especially James. He didn't want to leave a bad mark for Lily. impression.

"Of course," said Sirius with a smile, "right, James?"

"Of course...of course, we have been prepared for a long time. What are you talking about, Evans? Reggie is our good brother."

Although she was still suspicious, Lily shook her hair and returned to her seat without saying anything else.

.......

In-house on request.

Under Lily's influence, many people gathered in the Room of Requirement today.

This time is not a DAM club event, but a birthday party for St. Regis.

"So, where is my gift?" Looking at the four plunderers in front of him, Reggie asked confidently.

"You'll find out when the party is over." Sirius said proudly, with a cunning glint in his eyes.

"I think you must have bad intentions." Reggie slowly retracted his hand and said slowly. He was indifferent to the gifts prepared by several people.

Well, in fact, he admitted that he had no expectations for everyone's gift.

If it weren't for Lily, Snape wouldn't have rebelled, and Reggie wouldn't necessarily have attended this... birthday party that was held at the last minute.

"Our trust is so fragile," Sirius said, feigning sadness.

"Is there trust between us?" Reggie asked subconsciously.

"Merlin's briefs! Reggie!" Sirius let out a long sigh and shook his head, "Today you are as mean as the big bat behind you."

There was an eerie long silence.

Snape blinked slowly and stared at him motionless.

"So... let's get started?"

"I just can't wait." Lily said excitedly, her eyes shining in the candlelight.

"Okay... let the party begin." Reggie smiled, then waved his wand, and a firework shot out from the tip of the wand and then exploded.

The whole room began to change as well.

Everyone was shocked by the hand he showed.

Reggie curled his lips and joked. He learned this from Slughorn specifically. After all, he was very good at hosting parties.

It really came in handy today. Although Reggie didn't have any illusions about the planning abilities of these guys at first, he was still very happy in his heart that they could prepare a birthday party for him.

The Room of Requirement was decorated in gold and red, with silver and green ribbons hanging on the walls. Everyone in James and Lily's dormitory attended the party. They were a little awkward and unfamiliar at first, but soon they started to get excited under the influence of the music. Relax and enjoy.

After hours of tinkering in the Hogwarts kitchen, Lily and Marlene MacKinnon finally made a passable cake.

As for the drinks, Lily realized something was wrong when she saw the red faces of several boys.

She walked up to several people, then selected the one who was the best, shook the boy's shoulder and shouted, "Potter! What did you drink?"

James saw it was her and immediately giggled: "Uh...a little, a little wine, maybe two glasses per cup?"

"Drink?" Lily exclaimed in shock, "You drink? Hey! You are only 14 years old!"

"Aren't you 14 years old too? What qualifications do you have to care about me?" James said drunkenly.

"Correction, I am 15 years old this year. I am a few months older than you! Besides, as a rare normal person among us, of course I can't let you do stupid things!" Lily scolded.

If Professor McGonagall catches them drinking, Gryffindor will be ranked last!

She still has a strong sense of collective honor. Although she is not as obsessed with the academy points as Amelia, she will try her best not to deduct points from the academy.

"Evans" saw the Dementor, and she heard Sirius's voice again.

"Would you like some?" He shook the cup in his hand.

Lily endured it, but still dragged James and walked over angrily, "What are you doing?"

"Drink." Sirius said lightly, his face a little red under the influence of alcohol.

Lily resisted the urge to hex the two guys.

It wasn't just her, others also noticed something was wrong.

"Potter!" Marlene and Amelia came over together, and James thought they were really finished.

"What are you doing? What do you smell like?" Amelia wrinkled her nose and asked in disgust.

Seeing this serious witch, James suddenly woke up, then giggled: "I-"

"He drank!" Sirius still felt that the situation was not chaotic enough.

"What?" Mary and Amelia screamed at the same time, "How dare you! I'm going to tell Professor McGonagall about this! Just wait and be put in confinement!"

"Hey, what are you doing?" Reggie came over and asked with a smile.

"Potter is drinking!" Lily shouted angrily, "Professor McGonagall will kill us! Look at it! So many people!"

"Isn't Professor McGonagall here yet?" Ignoring James's frantic look for help, Reggie said casually, "Except for the Yule Ball, we rarely have such lively parties. So Lily, Amelia, Mary , Marlene, be happy."

James looked at him with adoration.

Seeing that Amelia seemed to want to refute, Reggie did not give her a chance to speak, but changed his voice and said: "I think I should go blow out the candles. Do you want to accompany me?"

"Of course, Reggie." Lily's expression softened slightly, "Today is your birthday, let's ignore these unhappy people."

She glared at James and others, turned around and walked towards the cake, James followed behind.

"Come on, Reggie, blow out the candles," Remus said with a smile, and they were all ready to sing happy birthday.

"And a birthday hat," Amelia said sternly, "but not now," she added.

"And don't forget to make a wish!" Marlene and Mary said in unison.

"Of course I remember..." Reggie chuckled and closed his eyes.

His birthday wish?Very ordinary and common - he wanted three more wishes.

If you are a little greedier, ten or eight are not impossible.

He is such a greedy person.

Then he blew out the candle.

Cheers exploded in her ears, the Marauders' birthday song rising in pitch, accompanied by the loud laughter of unknown girls.

At this moment, Reggie felt his body tremble, the whole world was steaming, and joy flowed around everyone,

"It would be nice if there was a camera to record this moment." It's rare to see such a harmonious scene between Gryffindor and Slytherin, Reggie thought with regret at this moment.

"What wish did you make? Reggie?" Lily asked.

He opened his eyes and met her green eyes, and he almost blurted out.

"Yes--"

"Shh." Lily suddenly smiled, "Don't say it, there is a saying in the Muggle world that wishes will not come true if you say them. Happy birthday, Reggie."

"Happy birthday!" James shouted, and Peter echoed.

He shook his head to prevent their voices from bursting his eardrums.

Then there were versions of happy birthday from all sorts of tones, from the Muggle world and maybe the wizarding world, and even, he bet, their own creations.

"Thank you." He said in a breathy voice that no one could hear, and then he saw Lily wink at him.

After the carnival, it was a mess. Everyone waved their wands to clean up the Room of Requirement. James, who was drunk, was cleaned up by Lily with "clean water like a spring" and then regained consciousness.

The birthday gifts that Reggie received could be piled up on his bedside, and he planned to open them after returning to the dormitory.

Everyone gradually returned to their dormitories to sleep, and curfew was about to begin.

No one wants to see Gryffindor or Slytherin receive large-scale tardiness deductions tomorrow at a critical moment near the end of the semester.

"Reggie." Back in the lounge, an unexpected figure appeared in front of Reggie - it was Greengrass.

He turned around and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

The other party is obviously waiting for me, but her relationship with him is just tutoring, and the exam is over...

Greengrass shook the box in his hand and raised his eyebrows proudly.

"Your birthday present."

"If there's a bug in there, I might shoot a curse at you." Reggie threatened, waving his wand playfully.

"You need to trust me, Reggie." Greengrass shook his head and opened the small box. There was a mirror lying inside, no different from an ordinary mirror.

"Wow, what a special gift." Reggie said softly.

"Do you think this is just an ordinary mirror?" Greengrass had an obvious look of successful mischief on his face.

"Don't tell me this is the Queen's magic mirror."

"Of course not." Greengrass blinked happily.

"This is a two-way mirror! A great invention in the wizarding world!"

"Is this a new invention?" Reggie's focus was obviously different from what she imagined.

"Hey, don't act stupid." The witch looked at him pretending not to care.

"Okay, but I really don't know, what's the use?"

"I also have a two-way mirror like this, no, two sides. If you need to talk to me, just say my name to it; you will appear in my mirror, and I can follow you in your mirror. You talk. We don’t need to correspond during the holidays, and of course, it’s my mom who intercepts my letters,” Greengrass said.

Reggie gently took out the mirror from the box. It was really ordinary.

Of course he knew about the double-sided mirror. He touched the surface of the mirror and looked at it curiously.

"Sounds great!"

"Want to try it now?" Greengrass took out an identical mirror from somewhere.

"Reggie?" The witch tentatively pronounced his name.

She saw a pair of dark gray eyes, and then the face of his master. Reggie sneered at her, and Mariana did the same, not to be outdone.

"Okay." Reggie's expression changed and he said happily, the smile on his face was quite relaxed, "I think it's time for us to go to bed, or do you want to go on a night out?"

"No," Greengrass refused.

Reggie shook his pocket and said, "Then - goodbye? I have to go back and open the gifts!"

"Okay, but my gift must be the best! Good night Reggie." The witch waved her hand and returned to the dormitory.
