Snakes at Hogwarts

Chapter 121 Slytherin-style training

"Silence!" Dumbledore's voice echoed throughout the Great Hall.

He waved his wand, creating several dazzling purple fireworks. With the sound of ping-pong explosions, the auditorium fell silent again, and the students' eyes focused on Dumbledore again.

"Prefects!" Dumbledore's voice was low, with a calming power.

"Take the students from your college back to the dormitory! All the professors will go to the underground classroom with me."

To be honest, Andros had never seen him look so serious.

Of course, he has not seen Dumbledore a few times since the beginning of school, because the latter is always elusive and has no idea what he is up to.

It was best this way, but Andros didn't want to be dragged into the principal's office by Dumbledore for a heart-to-heart talk.

It’s easy to talk about problems that way!

All it takes is a simple Legilimency, and the world is completely in chaos.

Hopefully, Dumbledore didn't notice him until he got his lunch and went to talk to Merlin about magic.

Andros thought quietly.

He also knew that this was probably impossible.

...

"Slytherin students, follow me!" Senior Sister Farley stood up. This mature senior girl with a black ponytail was now far more capable than before.

"Everyone listen to my instructions, take out your wands and stay alert!"

“The seniors walked in the front and back of the line, and the juniors and younger walked in the middle.”

"The substitute prefects of each grade take good care of the students of each grade."

Her orders were issued one after another, and her short and powerful voice left no room for doubt.

What people never expected was that compared to the other three houses, which were already noisy and mixed together, Slytherin's team was undoubtedly the quietest and neatest.

Thanks to the good family qualities of most snakes, they can respond more quickly when facing emergencies.

Under the command of Senior Sister Farley, these Slytherin students seemed to be transformed into various components of an awakened machine.

The senior wizards calmly raised their wands, surrounded the junior students who still had panic on their faces, and then looked at the messy auditorium in silence.

An undisguised sneer flashed across the faces of most Slytherins when they saw the messy and embarrassing appearance of students from other houses, especially their old enemy Gryffindor.

Like other freshmen of the same grade, Andros was in the middle of the team, with Draco, Zabini, and Pansy beside him.

When encountering danger, these familiar little snakes gathered together subconsciously. Unknowingly, they became more and more like a team.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Looking at the few people who still had panic on their faces, Andros comforted him in a low voice.

They were placed in the middle of the team, which was undoubtedly the safest place in the team.

While comforting the frightened little wizards, Andros kept looking around the door leading in and out of the auditorium. Among the chaotic crowd, he found Hermione's figure at a glance.

The latter is in the ranks of Ravenclaw.

The girl followed Penello closely, looking around nervously with her eyes, which allowed her to also see Andros looking at her.

The two people's eyes met briefly in mid-air in the auditorium.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Although he didn't know if Hermione could see his mouth shape, Andros still muttered in the direction of the girl.

In fact, if Hermione had not missed the dinner due to the unpleasantness in Charms class, then she would not have encountered problems at all.

Counting the time, the troll is now wandering around the women's restroom on the first floor at most.

In fact, if you just want to survive the plot of Harry Potter, it is very simple.

As long as he doesn't have anything to do with the savior who is always causing trouble.

This was also the reason why Andros had so hoped that he and Hermione would be sorted into Ravenclaw.

As for the absence of the most intelligent being among the trio, what will the savior Harry and his good friend Ron do in the future?

Sorry, that's not something Andros needs to worry about.

He just needed to make sure that Hermione was far away from the center of the future chaos.

...

"Let's go! Everyone, follow the team!"

After the students from other colleges and the professors who went to search the castle for the trolls all walked out, Senior Sister Farley finally gave the order to set off.

Taking one last look at Quirrell, who was lying on the ground and gradually regaining consciousness, Andros walked out of the auditorium surrounded by the crowd.

They followed the Hufflepuff students and walked together along the downward spiral staircase toward the underground of the castle.

"I said, why did the troll break into the castle?" Draco asked with a frown as the crowd continued to move forward.

"I thought the castle would be safe with that old guy Dumbledore here!"

"Who knows, maybe Peeves?" Zabini muttered behind Draco.

"Maybe this is a new prank by that naughty ghost? He also wants to have some fun for Halloween?"

"That damn bastard!" Draco cursed under his breath, looking extremely depressed.

Before this picky little dragon could wait for those Halloween-specific desserts, he was forced to run out of the auditorium due to the sudden attack of the troll, and walked to the underground corridor in fear. His stomach was still growling at this moment. Cooing.

"Ender! Do you know something? Otherwise, why were you devouring it like that just now?" Draco looked at Andros next to him and asked a little strangely.

"How is that possible! I was really hungry just now, I didn't know anything." Andros glanced at Draco innocently, and then cleverly changed the subject.

"But the trolls did appear on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest before. Let me tell you, maybe they found some secret passage leading into the castle."

"It's really weird. When did those stupid, brainless people like Gryffindor become so smart?"

"Silence!"

Before they could say anything more, Senior Sister Farley's voice came from the front of the team. Andros raised his head. Unknowingly, they were completely separated from the Hufflepuff students.

At this moment, a group of people were standing at the entrance of the Slytherin underground corridor.

Compared to the warm and bright corridors illuminated by bright torches on Hufflepuff's side, Slytherin's side was undoubtedly much deserted.

This was originally a dungeon area in the castle. The cold, dim corridors and wet stone walls are the eternal theme of this corridor. Even the several underground classrooms in a row were transformed from the former dungeon.

A few dispensable oil lamps were lit in the dark corridor, scattered with scattered lights, making it difficult to see the scene in the distance clearly.

In addition to the dim corridor, there is also a strong stench in the surrounding air, like a public toilet that has not been cleaned for many years.

The smell was all too familiar to Andros, exactly the same as what he had smelled that night in the Forbidden Forest.

I don’t know if the one Quirrell got into the castle this time was the one he met in the Forbidden Forest?

But all the trolls in the world seem to have the same flavor?

"Ugh~ I feel like I'm about to vomit." Draco held his nose and let out bursts of retching. He just felt that all the food he had just eaten was now pouring out along his esophagus.

Of course he is not the only little wizard like this.

Except for Draco, most of the Slytherins also showed discomfort on their faces. You must know that even in Slytherin, not everyone has mastered the bubble charm that can purify the air.

And the closed underground corridor is obviously not a place with particularly good air circulation. Even if the troll has left, the smell of it still remains here.

This is also where the giant monster is powerful. In addition to its terrifying brute strength, the stench on its body is also a unique attack method.

That could be a real biological weapon.

"Everyone, Illumination!"

Under the command of Senior Sister Farley, the crowd rang out spells one after another, and then, silvery-white light balls lit up from the tips of the snakes' wands, illuminating the dim corridor like daylight. .

The light gathered together was even more dazzling than the fluorescent spell that almost caused a magic riot by Andros.

"Good, let's move on."

"Anyone who doesn't know how to use the Bubble Charm should cover their mouth and nose!"

"Everyone, keep quiet and pay careful attention to what's going on around you."

Under the leadership of Senior Sister Farley, the Slytherin students groped along the already bright underground corridor. Their steps were light and no one spoke.

For a moment, the only sound left in the huge underground corridor was the inaudible breathing of the little snakes.

Of course they have to be careful. After all, according to what Quirrell said before he fell into coma, the troll was active in the underground classroom in front of him.

Merlin knew where this brainless creature would go!

This creature with a near-negative IQ acts without logic.

However, the little snakes soon realized that their worries were unnecessary.

Because this place has already been inspected by Hogwarts professors.

Not far away, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout, and other Hogwarts teachers came out of the corridor corner in front of the classroom one after another.

Most of their heads are wrapped in a translucent bubble.

Andros knew that it was a bubble head charm used to purify the air.

But this looks somewhat ridiculous. The bubbles surrounding the heads make these professors look like aliens who have wandered onto the wrong set.

Among these people, Andros caught sight of Professor Snape.

The conspicuous hooked nose and greasy black hair that had not been washed all year round made Snape quite recognizable.

In contrast, Quirrell did not appear among these people.

That's weird. Calculating the time, shouldn't he go to the forbidden corridor on the fourth floor to block Quirrell?

How did it appear here?

Andros thought with some confusion.

"Professor, have you found the giant monster?" Senior Sister Farley stepped forward at the front of the team and asked.

"Not yet." Professor McGonagall shook her head slightly.

"But don't worry, we searched every place in the corridor and found no trace of the troll."

"It must have gone to another floor. Don't worry, you can go back to the lounge."

"That's great, all Slytherin students, follow me and we will meet in the common room!"
