under the brilliance

The Slytherin common room was behind an empty, damp stone wall.It was a long, narrow, low basement, the walls and ceiling were made of rough stones, and the round, glowing green lights were chained and hung from the ceiling.The freshmen followed the seniors back to the dormitory.As soon as he stood still, Snape strode in with his robe flapping.

His greasy black hair fell straight down to his shoulders, and his dark eyes glanced blankly around.Pause for a few seconds on Draco.His voice was low and silky "Severus Snape. Your Head Master, future Potions Master."

Snape introduced himself briefly, and lectured the new students as usual.After Snape left, all the students began to select the prefects.Draco was not interested in this, he took a step back and sat directly on the sofa in the lounge, making it clear that he did not want to participate in the prefect challenge.

In the end, Blaise successfully defeated all the challengers and became the prefect of the first grade. The freshmen were tired all day.Back to the room early to rest.Draco had a room to himself and was perfectly fine with that.

Corey, who had been hiding in the dark, appeared and saluted Draco: "Your Highness, go take a shower first, we will clean up the room."

"Well, it's troublesome."

While Draco was taking a shower, Corey asked Parson to find out, and Lily, Emily and Jones cleaned up the room.Himself, Timis, Eugene, and Estoria stayed to protect Draco.Instruct the rest of the people to go around and familiarize themselves with the terrain.

When Draco came out of the shower, the entire bedroom doubled in size.Clothes are neatly arranged in the huge wardrobe, and the small desk and all the books occupy the corner with the best light.The bed was also replaced by Draco's style at home.On the bedside table next to it is Cher's nest.Except for the extra desk, everything else was arranged according to the layout of Draco's house.

There are a total of 140 stairs in Hogwarts.Some of them are wide and big; some are narrow and small and rickety; some lead to different places every Friday; some go up halfway and a step disappears suddenly, you have to remember where Should jump over.

Also, there are doors that won't open if you ask them politely, or poke them in exactly the right place; A solid wall of doors.It's hard to remember what's where because everything seems to be constantly moving.

You can't do anything about ghosts.Often when you are about to open a door, a ghost suddenly jumps out from behind the door and scares you.Almost Headless Nick is of course happy to show the way for Gryffindor freshmen; but if you are going to be late for class, but you happen to meet Peeves who likes to play pranks, it will be more difficult than meeting two locked doors. A staircase with many traps is even more difficult.He'll put the wastebasket on your head, pull the rug from under your feet, throw chalk bits at you, or sneak up on you, grab your nose and scream when you can't see:" Grab your nose!"

Of course, these are the situations that the average student encounters.None of this was a problem for Draco.

The stairs at Hogwarts always took the initiative to send Draco where he wanted to go, without wobbling, disappearing or rising suddenly.If you follow Draco, you will always reach your destination safely.

And the ghost, which no one else could deal with, treated Draco very kindly.Because if they get Draco's blessing, the ghosts will get some surprises or good luck.So even the most mischievous Peeves will be very quiet when facing Draco.

After spending the first three hectic days, the freshmen finally began to adapt to life at Hogwarts.On this Friday morning, the students went to the cafeteria to have breakfast as usual.While Harry and Ron were discussing today's lessons in the dining room, Draco and the first year prefect walked into the dining room side by side, followed by the Slytherin freshmen.

Not long after the group sat down, a large flock of owls suddenly flew into the restaurant.A golden eagle flew over to Draco's desk and dropped a large package.Inside were the candies Lucius and Vincent sent Draco, a copy of the Daily Prophet, and a copy of the Quibbler.

Draco fed the bacon on the plate to the golden eagle, and tied up the letter he wrote last night.Open the package and share the candy with those around you. Cher woke up in a daze, and went directly to Draco's breakfast and ate it wheezingly.Draco fed the two pets, slowly drank the milk tea specially prepared for him by the house elves, and flipped through the two newspapers

There were only two Potions classes today, and Harry always felt that Professor Snape didn't like him, but when he thought of having a class with Slytherin, he couldn't help looking forward to it.Although Ron kept cursing in his ear how evil Slytherin was, Harry was still looking forward to meeting Draco.

It wasn't until the end of the first Potions class that he realized he was wrong.It's not that Professor Snape doesn't like him, he hates him.

Potions class is taught in an underground classroom.It's colder here than the castle keep above.Along the walls are glass jars filled with stuffed animals that will make you shiver even more.

Snape picked up the roster as soon as class started, stopping when Harry's name was called.

"Oh, yes," he whispered, "Harry Potter, here's our new one—something famous."

Blaise, who was sitting next to Draco, sneered, and Harry looked at Draco nervously.The other party casually flipped through the Potions books without even looking at Harry.

"You have come here to learn the precise science and rigorous craftsmanship of this potion preparation." Snape's momentum calmed everyone down, his voice was slightly higher than usual, and it was heard clearly by everyone.

"Many of you won't believe it's magic, as there's no foolish wand waving here. I don't expect you to really appreciate the beauty of that simmering cauldron with its white smoke and fragrance, You don't really understand the liquid that flows into people's veins, the magic that makes people's hearts sway and their minds bewildered. I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death-but only one thing, that is, you are not me often The kind of stupid fools you encounter will do."

The short opening remarks made everyone dare not breathe. Draco continued to flip through the textbook in his hand unmoved, as if he was deeply fascinated by the contents.Snape took one look at him and decided to ignore it.turn to harry

"Potter!" said Snape suddenly, "what would I get if I added powdered daffodil root to an infusion of wormwood?"

Harry was taken aback by the sudden question, and opened his mouth dryly after getting up: "I don't know, sir."

Snape pouted contemptuously, "Tsk, it seems that fame doesn't mean everything."

Harry blushed at what Snape said, and when he saw Draco looking at him, he lowered his head in shame.

"Let's try again. Potter, if I asked you to find me a bezoar, where would you find it?"

"I don't know, sir."

"Potter, what's the difference between the boat-shaped aconite and the wolf-venomous aconite?"

"I don't know." Harry looked at Hermione's raised hand, "But, I think, Hermione knows the answer, why don't you ask her?"

Snape looked at Harry unhappily, then suddenly turned to Draco who was watching the play, and said in a flat tone, "Malfoy, you come and answer my question just now."

"Fairy root powder and wormwood can be mixed together to make a powerful sleeping pill, which is a dose of water of life and death. Bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a cow, which has a strong detoxification effect. As for Aconitum acanthus and The chamaema aconitum is the same plant, also collectively known as aconitum."

"Very well, Slytherin plus five points for Mr. Malfoy's answer." Snape looked at the other students and frowned: "Why don't you write it down! You still think that your straw-filled minds can put everything together." Remember it!"

Next, Snape marked all the materials and pharmaceutical methods on the blackboard, and then asked all the students to choose the medicinal materials and work in pairs.What they are going to do today is a potion for treating scabies, which is very simple for novices.But the Gryffindor students were still mercilessly sprayed with venom by Snape.

Snape dragged his long black cloak around the classroom, watching them weigh dried nettles and crush snake fangs. Almost all the students were criticized, only Malfoy was spared, it seems Malfoy Foo was Snape's preferred student.

The potion in Neville's pot exploded and flowed to the ground, corroding holes in the shoes of the people around him, and his pot was transformed into a large piece of scrap iron.

Snape cleaned up the potion with a wave of his wand, deducted ten points from Neville, and sent him to the school hospital.When he saw Harry next to him, he deducted two points for not being able to point out the mistakes of his classmates.

Draco finished the potion and stood aside, Blaise took over to pack the potion and packed everything.Snape looked at their potions and gave an O. 【O=Outstanding (perfect)】

After two classes, when Draco followed Blaise and passed by Harry, Blaise looked at Harry with a wicked smile: "Look, you are indeed the savior. With you, this year's House Cup Slytherin But it’s a steady hold.”

Harry pulled Ron beside him, and gave Blaise a hard look: "Don't be too happy." When he saw Malfoy behind him, Harry hesitated again: "Hi, Draco ..."

"Malfoy." Draco corrected the address with a frown, his chin raised slightly.

Harry was a little disappointed, but said anyway, "Okay, Malfoy. Well, we're going to Hagrid's cabin today, do you want to come?"

Now it's not just Blaise, even Ron, who was being pulled by Harry, widened his eyes and looked at Harry incredulously.

"No, thank you." Draco rejected Harry's invitation and left the classroom first.Blaise, who was behind him, gave Harry a strange look, and hurriedly followed.
