Snakes in Hogwarts

"Profit."

With the sound of the password, the stone wall in front of it cracked towards both sides, forming a narrow gap for people to pass through.

The gap was dark, and some flickering green light could be seen faintly.

"Come with me."

With the flow of people, Andros passed through the gap, and after passing a dark corridor, he finally saw the Slytherin lounge.

This is a long, narrow and low basement. The surrounding walls and ceilings are made of rough stones. The circular lights with glittering green light are tied by chains and hung from the ceiling. A beautifully carved mantelpiece, underneath, a fire was crackling and burning.

Despite this, the lounge still looked dark and cold.

Around the mantelpiece was a circle of carved wooden chairs. Several Slytherin students who had come back earlier were sitting there, bright fire illuminating their faces.

On the surrounding walls are green silks and tapestries of different styles. Wanting to come here to depict the famous adventures undertaken by the Slytherins, Andros even saw several skulls, which were placed as decorations. On the display cabinet not far away.

Behind the mantelpiece, the most eye-catching thing is the lounge window. Unlike other colleges, the Slytherin lounge window is outside the dark lake with green shimmering Black Lake.

"As you can see, the lounge was transformed from an abandoned dungeon. During the transformation, the designer was very talented to extend part of the dungeon to the bottom of the lake. This made Slytherin the only one of the four colleges. You can have a glimpse of the college in the depths of the Black Lake." Standing in front of the window of the lounge, Senior Sister Farley said proudly.

"If you live here for a long time, you will definitely see the huge aquatic animals living in the lake swimming by the window. Sometimes they will be very close to the window. That would be very interesting. Believe me, there is absolutely nothing more than this. Mysterious and wonderful lounge."

"You all know that when Salazar Slytherin selects students, the most important thing is whether he has the potential to become a great wizard. Since you can be selected by Slytherin, I assume that you have such potential. Don't let me down. , Don’t do stupid things, Slytherin does not sympathize with the weak and the losers."

"Before you arrived, Slytherin had won the Hogwarts Academy Cup for six consecutive years. If any of you did a stupid thing and eventually caused Slytherin to lose this honor, don’t blame me for not warning you. You will be hostile to all Slytherins."

However, according to the plot, this year's Academy Cup will definitely be Gryffindor. No matter how hard Slytherin works, even if it is unscrupulous, it can't hold Dumbledore from opening!

Andros curled his lips. He didn't take the honor of the Academy Cup. It was just a meaningless trophy. What if he got it?

Collect seven summoning dragons?

Don't be kidding, he doesn't have any desire to do such unprofitable things.

"Also, I'm going to talk about Gryffindor now. Many people in this school will tell you that Slytherin and Gryffindor are two opposites. I admit that we really can't understand each other. Also always deliberately want to cause some trouble to the other party.

Especially near the end of the semester, or before the Quidditch competition, there will be friction between the two colleges every year.

So, when you see Gryffindor students, please be cautious. What they sometimes behave is not as noble as they say."

"If you are bullied, you must tell me that we will return the color. Please remember that Slytherin will always be united with the outside world. If someone bullies us, we never mind showing off fangs.

As for the remarks that discredit Slytherin, we never care, because we are snakes, smooth and powerful, but we are always misunderstood."

"By the way, there is one more thing. The ghost of our academy is Barrow, the Blood Man. It's the taciturn ghost you saw at the long table just now, with blood on his body and shackles on his hands. He was once Slytherin's. The student returned to Hogwarts as a ghost after his death.

I must state that ghosts do not like the world of the living. Most of the time, they prefer to be immersed in their own world, so don't disturb them unless there is something."

"Because Barrow the Blood Man is the only ghost that can contain Peppies, students in Slytherin don’t have to worry too much about Peppies’ attacks. When you encounter that annoying ghost, just say Just go to Barrow the Blood Man."

"Well, I'll just say that. Before you go to bed, there is still a ceremony to be held."

ceremony?

What ceremony?

It seems that there is no mention of what ceremony Slytherin will hold in the original work, right?

Andros was stunned at once. There were not many descriptions of Slytherin College in the original book, and there was no mention of such so-called rituals.

And he just read some books related to spells and spells before school started.

If it was Hermione, she would have known it. After all, she had read so many history-related books, and they must have mentioned Slytherin rituals.

I knew I should have read those books!

But who would have thought of being assigned to Slytherin?

Damn sorting hat!

"This ceremony is very important. In fact, we prefer to call it a welcome ceremony. To be more specific, I will tell you when the dean arrives." Looking at the confused and bewildered freshman, Prefect Farley showed a bad intention. Smile.

Sister Fali said more, those little snakes who obviously knew what was going to happen spontaneously surrounded the new students. They formed a large enough circle and sneered with their shoulders towards the new students inside.

Wizards are really a group of people with evil tastes!

Especially the wizard who graduated from Slytherin!

"Malfoy, do you know what this welcome ceremony is?" Andros whispered to the little dragon beside him, even though the latter looked confused.

But if anyone among the freshmen might know it, it can only be Malfoy.

And he is the only wizard who can barely speak for Andros.

"How do I know that my father and godfather told me about Slytherin's special welcome ceremony, but they didn't tell me a word about it."

"They won't say it, because it involves an unbreakable oath. Almost all wizards from Slytherin have taken this oath and promised not to disclose the ritual information." Not far away, I heard the words of Andros and Malfoy. Conversing, Blaise Shabini of the last branch said in a low voice.

"I am Blaise Chabini, the heir of Malfoy's parents, and a new hat, Andros, who will turn into a blue flame. I'm glad to meet you."

"That's just a trick that's difficult to be elegant. As for the hat, it's even a coincidence." He shook hands briefly, and Andros's face was full of modesty.

"I heard my father talk about you. He told me that the Shabini family is very good in business and is one of the few wise men among the pure blood wizards."

"Compared to the Malfoy Patriarch, it's still far behind. Uncle Lucius is the real smart person."

The two complimented each other, treating Andros as air, and the latter was happy too. For a wizard who came out of the Muggle world, it was good that the two of them could give themselves a relatively equal opportunity to communicate.

Most pure-blood wizards have undisguised aversion and rejection of Muggles, Muggle wizards, and wizards who are suspected of Muggle wizards.

To be honest, the feeling of being treated as an ornament is not good. In these short minutes, Andros felt a bit of Ivar's feeling.

The feeling of being watched by onlookers is very similar to the python shown to tourists in a glass cage.

Fortunately, this feeling quickly ended. With the opening of the stone door in the lounge again, Snape in a black robe walked in with a gloomy face.

"I don't have much time, so hurry up and start the ceremony."
