Chapter 13 The Glory of the Snake Academy
After the faint mosquito finished humming the school song, Chief Farley and a senior boy stood up and walked to the long table in Slytherin.
Chief Farley said loudly: “The freshmen are coming with me. And Mr. Lestrange, let’s learn about the admission ceremony of Slytherin with the freshmen first.”
She behaves calmly and generously, and she is obviously very experienced as a first-year leader.
The freshmen stood in a row, followed her, and walked on the way to the Slytherin common room.
“First of all, welcome you to Slytherin. I am Prefect Gemma Farley. Our representative creature is a snake, synonymous with sleek, shrewd and powerful. The color of the academy is silver and green, which represent nobles and snakes. The tradition of the academy-shrewdness, judging the time and situation, wisely defending oneself, victory is supreme, and the pursuit of glory.”
“Maybe you don’t know that before you came, Slytherin had won the Academy Cup for six consecutive years, until last year it was taken away by Gryffindor for some inexplicable reason. But I believe that was just an accident, and this year’s glory will continue. To Slytherin.”
“There are some facts about Slytherin you should know, on the contrary there are some rumors about Slytherin you should forget. First, let me tell you some rumored facts. You may have heard rumors about Slytherin-we Both like to study black magic. Slytherin only recruits students who have a family of famous wizards and other rumors. You should not believe what those colleges that compete with us say. I don’t deny that our academy has produced some black magicians. , But all the other three academies also have black magicians-but they don’t want to admit it.”
Chief Farley walked in the forefront and led the way, with a hint of sarcasm in his firm tone.
After passing through the hall, they walked down a staircase.
“I also want to tell you the fact that the other three academies kept silent: The great Merlin was also a student of Slytherin. Yes, Merlin himself, the most famous wizard in history! All his knowledge comes from Slytherin. Won at Lettering College! Do you want to follow in Merlin’s footsteps? Or would you prefer to follow former Hufflepuff student Agrandina Pavot to invent a self-cleaning rag? I think the answer is obvious.”
The little snakes whispered and laughed.
After arriving underground, Chief Farley walked towards the corridor on the left, where there are Snape’s office and the potions classroom. The corridor on the right belongs to Hufflepuff.
The underground corridor is dim and damp, and if you listen carefully, you can faintly hear the sound of water dripping on the ground. After a long journey, Chief Farley led everyone to a wall that looked plain.
“Remember this wall, this is the entrance to the Slytherin common room. I hope everyone can keep their mouths tight and don’t let people from other colleges discover our secrets. Our lounge has not been in the outside world for 700 years. NS.”
Ulysses could not tell whether he should vomit or not. If nothing else, the 700-year record may end this year.
“You can enter by speaking out in front of this wall. The password is updated every two weeks, and each update will be posted on the bulletin board in the common room.”
“The password for these two weeks is: glory.”
The stone wall made the sound of “Caracalla” and moved slowly to the sides. Behind is a wet stone gate, which automatically reveals an opening for people to enter and exit.
Everyone walked into the narrow and narrow passage. Inside was a semi-circular lounge glowing with blue light. The ceiling seemed to be supported by transparent crystals, and you could see the shimmering water and some creatures at the bottom of the lake. .
The circular lamp, glowing with green light, was tied with an iron chain and hung from the ceiling. In front of it was a beautifully carved mantelpiece with a fire burning underneath.
Silver and green silks and tapestries were hung on the surrounding walls, and some strange decorations were placed on the display table.
There are soft and comfortable sofas in the lounge, as well as carved wooden chairs around the fireplace. Some Slytherin students who had returned early were sitting there, looking at the freshmen with interest, as if they had seen themselves back then.
Chief Farley walked to the fireplace, turned around, and said solemnly:
“You are all chosen by Slytherin, which means that you have the qualities for success. So, don’t do stupid things, Slytherin has no sympathy for the underdogs and the weak.”
“There is one more thing you need to know: the ghost of our college is Barrow, the blood man. If you get along well with him, he might help you scare the person you want to scare. Just don’t ask if the blood stain on his body is It’s fine where it came from, he doesn’t like others asking him that question.”
“Finally, remember our school motto: Slytherin will help you reach the top.”
“By the way, the dormitory of our college is a quadruple room. We do not interfere. Of course, men and women cannot sleep together. The passage is for men on the left and women on the right. Go and rest. Listen to the soft sound of the soft waves on the bottom of the lake outside the window. , You will sleep soundly.”
After listening to the little snakes, they were not too excited, and even a little disgusted. Most of their families are in good condition, and the places where they live are more gorgeous than this underground lounge. However, since entering the school, no one protested against each other, each looking for a companion back to the dormitory.
Ulysses stood there and didn’t move. Sure enough, Chief Farley walked over to him after finishing his explanation and asked:
“Mr. Lestrange, the third grade dormitory is fully occupied, but there are only three people in the fourth grade dormitory. If you mind, I will try to apply for a separate dormitory for you.”
“No, Senior Sister, I am not a gregarious person.”
Ulysses smiled and said, he didn’t care what grade his roommate was.
“A wise move.”
Before Chief Farley could speak, a low voice sounded from behind Ulysses.
Ulysses turned his head, Snape in a black robe put his hands behind him, expressionless, his eagle-like eyes swept back and forth on Ulysses.
“Good dean.”
Prefect Farley had already introduced Ulysses, he naturally knew who it was, and bowed slightly.
“The friendship gained in Slytherin will be a great asset.”
Snape nodded, walked over to a wooden chair and sat down, closing his eyes to rest. According to tradition, he will stay in the common room on the night of the freshman admission.
“The number of the dormitory is 409, I wish you a good dream.”
After finishing talking with a smile, Chief Farley turned into the passage on the right.
Ulysses walked to the left passage and pushed open a beautifully carved wooden door. In front of him was another long corridor.
Ulysses walked to a door engraved with “409” and pushed in.
“Sure enough, the transfer student will come to our dormitory. Gerrard, willing to bet.”
