HP Shavings Wizard

"Call the gods to protect you!"

Several seventh years cast the Patronus Charm with ease.

All kinds of dazzling silver animals smoothly broke free from the tips of their staffs, flying lightly through the air and running towards the darkness farther away.

There were sounds of surprise from many small animals behind.

Except for two sophomores, the rest are seniors, so they naturally know the difficulty of the Patronus Charm.

This is the most famous and notoriously difficult white magic defense spell to learn, and most wizards are unable to cast it successfully, requiring a strong magical foundation and a level far above that of an ordinary wizard. Being able to cast the Patronus Charm is often considered a sign of extraordinary magical ability.

Although the Patronus is more famous for its ability to fight Dementors, in fact, as one of the oldest white magic, this defensive spell can also expel blood-sucking bats. Wizards can let the Patronus withstand attacks on their behalf or help them pass messages and do things.

Apparently, Professor Grindelwald had made remarkable achievements in teaching in the past six months. Professor Snape was even surprised and showed a rare look of satisfaction towards these trolls.

Those elves emitting silver light were like small searchlights, bringing a sense of warmth and making this ghost place less gloomy.

Well, actually, even the little snakes in Slytherin find it hard to adapt to this kind of environment.

The green decoration of the Slytherin common room is a cool tone. This is under the Black Lake, but it is really not dark during the day!

Just like the dreamy aquarium glass, the light shines through the bottom of the lake during the day and also makes the entire public lounge bright.

Coupled with spells and fireplaces, even part of the original castle's dungeon had long been transformed by magic to be warm and dry, making it very livable.

How could the founder of the academy really let a group of young wizards live in a damp and cold place all year round?

We are all wizards now, and we are here to go to school, not to suffer.

The guardians light the way ahead, and in the distance you can see where your last pair of stone pillars are parallel, there is a statue as tall as the room itself, clinging to the dark wall behind.

Dozens of little wizards craned their necks high and saw the huge face above.

"...?!"

It was an old, monkey-like face.

He had a long, sparse beard that reached almost to the hem of the wizard's robes carved from stone.

Two large gray feet stood on the smooth floor of the room.

It looks very ugly and unsightly.

A little genius in the crowd even took out a magic camera and started recording the scene with “click, click”.

Alison was silent for a moment, with a subtle expression: "... Is this what Salazar Slytherin himself looks like?"

Everyone was actually a little confused, and the little snakes' expressions were not much better.

Why is it that Salazar Slytherin, the terrifying dark wizard who defined all the Slytherin traits, has a monkey face?

They could accept that the founder of the academy looked gloomy, majestic, and terrifying, and that one glance at him would make people feel terrified...

But why is it a monkey-like face?

It is ugly but lifelike, and yet funny.

Many little snakes' impressions of the academy's founder collapsed, they were completely disillusioned, and their faces were filled with disappointment.

There are also statues of other small animals laughing and burying their bodies.

As for the Slytherin Headmaster himself...

Professor Snape didn't bother to pay attention to those who were giggling or the little animals who were taking pictures. He stared at the statue with a gloomy face for a while before looking away. He seemed to be in a rather weird mood.

Everyone straightened their heads and were faced with the pair of large gray feet.

Someone murmured something in a low voice, showing some disgust.

Some people tried to hold back their laughter and couldn't control the corners of their mouths from rising.

Several small snakes covered their faces silently.

Grindelwald summoned Fawkes first - relying on his absolute loyalty to Albus Dumbledore.

The sound of music floated from somewhere.

It was ethereal, ethereal and mysterious. The exciting music became louder and louder, making one's scalp tingle and heart beat wildly, as if it was vibrating in one's chest.

Flames burst from the top of the nearest stone pillar.

Fox fell from the sky.

The beautiful phoenix, dragging its golden tail, flew straight towards Grindelwald, perched heavily on his shoulder, and folded its two huge wings.

The old phoenix stared firmly and solemnly at the statue not far away.

It sensed the impending danger, and had already prepared for it together with the teachers and students.

The little animals seemed to have never seen the world before and exclaimed "Wow" at the rare sight of the principal's mysterious phoenix.

Grindelwald raised his eyebrows and chuckled, then turned to the young wizards.

"Everyone, scatter first! Before Fawkes pecks the basilisk blind, close your eyes, protect yourself, obey instructions, and don't be impulsive - Harry, come here."

Everyone immediately obeyed and quickly stepped back, leaving the stage to the two professors, Harry and their patronuses.

Grindelwald called Harry over, after all, he still needed Harry to recite the Parseltongue command.

But to be honest, the password was a bit vulgar. Even if you just recited it normally and dryly in front of that ugly statue, it would make people want to laugh.

"Speak to me, Slytherin - the greatest of the Hogwarts Four."

To be honest, it is a pleasure to hear Grindelwald speak English fluently with a slightly stiff German accent - it's a bit weird, but it makes people want to listen to more.

However, the animals present had been listening for half a year and were used to Professor Grindelwald's speeches, so they were more concerned about the funny content.

They looked up at the monkey-faced statue with squinted eyes, and the expressions on their faces were even more indescribable.

what? !

This guy is actually a narcissist? !

Are you secretly saying these things to brag about yourself in your own secret room?

Now that so many young wizards have seen me, I am doomed to fail...

Just thinking about it makes me want to dig out a Hogwarts Castle here with my toes.

The habit of feeling embarrassed for others comes back again.

Harry was very troubled by the funny attack and the need to imagine the real snake and communicate with it. The green eyes stared at the old monkey's face, and he swallowed, feeling that he couldn't say anything.

But everyone was waiting for him.

Fortunately, there are a lot of snake-like decorations here, and there are snakes entwined everywhere on the pillars.

Alison used Transfiguration to make the head of a stone snake sway slightly, and the snake's cold and inorganic gem eyes stared at Harry.

With something to distract him and a snake that could sense his feelings, Harry was finally able to hiss out the command in Parseltongue at the top of his lungs—at this point he really felt the need to master a foreign language. No matter how funny his words were, the seniors behind him would not laugh.

[Speak to me, Slytherin - the greatest of the Hogwarts Four.]
