Snakes in Hogwarts

Walking in the quiet underground corridor of the castle, Andros hummed happily.

The flaming torches in the corridor lit his face, and it seemed that his mood was not as bad as before.

He carried a kraft paper package tightly bound with a few ropes in his hand, and the seductive fragrance exuded from time to time.

That is the taste of food.

Unlike Potter and Ron, who didn't know where to go for food and had to go back to the bedroom in despair, Andros would not go back to the lounge on an empty stomach.

Although at this time, the lunch time at Hogwarts was over long ago, every plate in the auditorium was as clean as new, and there was no food leftover.

But Andros knew a magical place that could fill his heart, oh no, it was the emptiness in his stomach.

That is naturally the Hogwarts kitchen.

At any time, those enthusiastic house elves will regard the students who come to foraging as the most popular guests and give them the highest standard of reception they can think of.

Obeying orders and loyalty to wizards have been deeply imprinted in their souls, and they have been passed on from generation to generation as they multiply.

To be honest, this is indeed a bit sad for any kind of intelligent creature.

However, at least they are slaves, not wizards.

Moreover, they seem to be enjoying it too, and the wizard's brainwashing spells are still very good.

Andros thought of this, he couldn't help but recall the group of house elves who surrounded him ten minutes ago, blinking his big eyes and asking for warmth, or preparing warm, freshly baked food after busying. .

Since they like this, it will continue.

Why should we help them change?

To be honest, Andros asked himself that he didn't have the lofty ideals and innocent kindness of Hermione, and he didn't want to change the situation of the house elves.

Can't change much.

In fact, he didn't even tell Hermione anything about the kitchen, for fear that the girl knew that Hogwarts was oppressing a group of "slaves" who served the school's teachers and students but could not get a bronze Nat.

It’s better to do less of this thankless thing.

Perhaps this was also the reason why the Sorting Hat insisted on sorting him into Slytherin.

In the feelings of snakes, there is indeed little self-sacrifice and sympathy for others.

What's more, compared to other places, these little guys who work at Hogwarts are already pretty good.

Those old wizard families still retain the tradition of hanging the heads of old house elves who can’t do housework as decorations on the wall for exhibition!

For them, working at Hogwarts is already a very lucky thing.

Of course, the unique magic system of the house elves still opened Andros' eyes.

With the disgusting fishy smell on his body, these little guys simply waved their fingers to make the disgusting smell disappear without a trace.

It is no exaggeration to say that the clothes on his body are clean and the same as when they were taken out from Mrs. Morkin's robe shop just now.

This makes Andros feel good.

These little guys who are good at cleaning and service are very good at this aspect. If you remember correctly, the students' clothes and the cleaning of the lounge are all done by them.

It's just that few students find them.

Because the hallmark of a good house elf is to complete the task without being aware of their existence by the wizard.

Really weird values.

...

He took the still warm food package in his hand and sniffed fiercely, feeling the attractive aroma of the food, and Andros finally felt his mood recovered.

He swallowed, then stopped the thoughts in his mind, accelerated his speed and walked towards the Slytherin underground lounge.

Damn old bat!

It was not just a misunderstanding, why is he so careless!

He deserves to be a bachelor at his age!

I didn't even eat lunch!

Andros arranged Snape viciously in his heart, and suddenly he slapped his forehead.

Gan!

He has forgotten one thing. It seems that this afternoon he is taking Sprout's herbal medicine class with Ravenclaw.

However, at this time they should have already finished class.

Andros took out his pocket watch to check the time, then looked at the fragrant food package in his hand.

Forget it, still not going.

Such a choice does not need to be considered at all!

Anyway, Professor Sprout shouldn't blame himself for missing a class. Besides, who made Snape stay in class for so long?

If the professor asked, just throw the pot on Snape.

Well, it was such a happy decision.

In fact, Andros had long wanted to skip some meaningless courses, such as the history of magic by Professor Binns.

He has never figured out what the purpose of Hogwarts is for this course. Apart from Hermione, are there really other students who can hear the history of magic described by Professor Binns?

Andros deeply doubted this.

Perhaps out of affirmation of Professor Bins’s tireless teaching and educating spirit, after he returned to Hogwarts in the form of a ghost, the then principal and school board absolutely continued to teach Hogwarts magic by him. history.

This was a great thing at first, and Professor Bins was not like what he is now. His erudite and humorous conversation was deeply loved by the students at that time.

But as time went by, his class became more and more boring, and he himself became more and more sluggish.

It seems that even the ghost that realizes immortality in another way is not worth the baptism of time.

But why do other ghosts seem to be so happy?

Have a chance to ask those ghosts later.

...

Although most students respect this course and the unusual ghost professor, this does not mean that they will listen carefully.

Apart from Hermione, Andros has not found a second existence that can persist in completing his studies in Professor Bins's hypnosis class.

As for Andros himself?

Hey, he spent every magic history from school to the present in his sleep.

As a result of sleeping in the history of magic for a long time, the current Andros would yawn unconsciously as soon as he saw Professor Bins's half-gray and translucent old face.

That's why he didn't want to waste time in the history of magic.

Anyway, I have to make a surprise review before the exam. I might as well go to the grass outside to relax or practice the spell.

However, as soon as he showed this idea, Hermione was brutally suppressed.

"You are a student, Ender! How can students not go to class!" Hermione glared at Andros, and her words really made Andros speechless.

I was really ill at the time, so why did you tell Hermione who loves to learn about skipping class?

While thinking wildly, Andros found a stone door hidden by magic, and after that was the Slytherin lounge.

"Snakeman voice."

There was a gap for people to pass through on the original plain wall. Inside was the darkness of invisible, and the two dim torches on the wall made the gap look like an animal's open mouth.

After walking through this dark corridor, Andros finally returned to the Slytherin lounge.

At this time, everyone should be out for class.

The green light illuminates the lounge. What Andros did not expect is that a pretty figure is sitting on the sofa closest to the entrance.

That seems to be Pansy?
