"Merlin! Why have our points gone negative?"
"Minus 100 points?"
At the start of the second day of classes, word spread around the school that Slytherin had been deducted 100 points.
All the Slytherin students looked pale and were beaten by 100 points. No matter how hard they worked in class, it would be difficult to make up for it.
What was even more embarrassing was the fact that they were trampled into the ground.
How does that make everyone face ridicule from the other Houses?
After dinner, almost all the Slytherin students were sitting in the common room with heavy faces.
"Investigate, we must investigate rigorously and find this student!"
"When I find this person, I'll make sure they don't eat anything and I'll carry them around!"
The freshmen started talking. They hadn't expected to get off to such a bad start.
In this class, there were bad blood who entered the Slytherin, and even showed their dissatisfaction with the branch in public, and then had negative house points deducted on the first day, I'm afraid they won't be able to keep the House Cup for seven consecutive years.
It was so humiliating that I was ashamed of all the seniors, elders, and ancestors who graduated from Slytherin.
Some parents even wrote to ask about the situation, which embarrassed them even more.
At that moment, Millicent said in a high-pitched voice: "It must be Yu Jian! I didn't see her in the living room all night last night!"
"She must have had points deducted for going out at night!"
Gemma Farley looked serious and wore a monitor's badge on her chest. As good-natured as she was, as tolerant and generous as she was, she couldn't keep smiling when a new student got lost and the House was brutally attacked.
"Thank you for the information, Ms. Bulstrode, I will look into this matter."
Her eyes turned to the new students, and she added her congratulations on being assigned to Slytherin House, introduced the philosophy of the house, and so on. The "Slytherin House monitors' welcome speech" that she had memorized finally came into use.
Finally, she emphasized:
"Although we've had a rough start to the year, I hope you'll remember that honor is earned by all. We've won the House Cup for seven years and this year will be no exception."
"Once you've become a snake, you'll be one of us - a member of the elite. I don't want to see House points lost due to internal conflicts."
The meaning of this sentence is obvious. She doesn't want to see points deducted because of Jian Yu's ostracism. After all, Slytherin's fragile hourglass can no longer withstand the slightest torture.
She then rushed to Professor Snape's office to try to get some information.
She realized that throughout the night and day, no student had seen Jian Yu!
Snape's office was in the crypts of the castle, adjacent to the Potions classroom. It's dark and damp in here, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
However, just as he was about to knock on the office door, he heard the sound of conversation coming from the crack in the door.
"You don't have to tell me, I'll monitor her too."
That's Professor Snape's voice!
The back of the hand that was about to touch the door stopped. She held her breath and didn't dare move.
"She's very suspicious. I can't believe any freshman wouldn't have the guts to go up to the fourth-floor corridor to challenge a three-headed dog."
What?!
Gemma couldn't believe her ears!
The missing freshman Jian Yu had gone alone to the restricted area of the fourth floor corridor and chosen the three-headed dog inside!
Over the last year, she had already learned about three-headed dogs. The danger level of magical animals reaches XXXX. They are dangerous and require specialized knowledge and skilled wizards to deal with them.
She dared to say that even all the Slytherin wizards in sixth grade might not be able to subdue it.
And a little 11-year-old witch, who had never attended a single class, took on a three-headed dog!
It turns out that the differences in talent between people can be so great!
She returned to the common room in a daze, sat down on the sofa, put one hand on the arm, and stared straight ahead.
She should have been angry about the 100 points deducted and gone to find the new student called Jian Yu to talk to.
But a secret admiration, appreciation, and joy arose in her heart.
She needs to reconsider her attitude towards this new student.
Just then, however, a harsh female voice sounded in the room: "All day... no one saw her, and she didn't attend her herbal medicine or history of magic classes, which cost us another 20 points!"
Following the sound, Gemma discovered that it was Millicent making noise again.
All the freshmen agreed, and Parkinson's daughter said sarcastically: "Oh, Bulstrode, how dare she treat you like that in the auditorium before!"
"If she shows up, I'll make her regret being born into this world!" Millicent spoke harshly, her plump flesh trembling on her face.
Gemma frowned, wishing she could go ahead and grab the potions book to rip this stupid girl's head off. She can easily handle a new student who can fight a three-headed dog on her own.
But she couldn't tell anyone what she'd heard in Snape's office.
"Miss Bulstrode, I think I should reiterate that I don't want to see any infighting here."
"After all, our House Cup is at stake."
She looked intently at Millicent Bulstrode, her blonde hair casting dark shadows in the dim light.
Only then did Millicent realize that the monitor Gemma was watching every movement of everyone in the room. Her face and neck turning red, she muttered "Sorry" and ran back to the dormitory.
"Idiot." Pansy clipped her nails and rolled her eyes in the direction she'd gone.
She's not as stupid as Millicent, talking nonsense in front of the monitors!
Millicent was corrected, but Gemma was still upset. The new students avoided communicating with any of their classmates, and even magic was so advanced that lessons were no longer necessary.
She needed to talk to someone, at least using the prefect's face as a guarantee to stop her deducting House points.
At that moment, Jian Yu was lying on the bed in the dormitory, sound asleep.
After all, I only got back from the principal's office early this morning, so it makes sense to skip class and stay in bed all day!
That can only increase your progress in dropping out of school!
However, her sweet dream was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Who is it? It's so annoying in the middle of the night!"
She was full of sleep, with disheveled black hair, got out of bed, and opened the door grumbling.
But he saw a tall, thin senior with blond hair standing in front of the door.
"Miss Jian... uh... I'm sorry... for disturbing me so late... is it convenient for us to talk?"
...
Gemma imagined many different scenarios for the two of them to meet, including the host and guest having fun, shaking hands, and making up, but she never expected that when she actually saw the new student, she wouldn't even be able to utter a complete sentence!
The moment the dormitory door opened, she felt an invisible force and pressure emanating from Jian Yu's body, like the resentment carried by a female ghost, which acted directly on her mental suppression.
There was a voice in her head telling her to turn and run, but fear made her legs stick to the floor, cold sweat drenched her back and her shirt stuck to her skin.
"Come in." She heard a clear, childish voice.
As if she had been granted amnesty, she entered the small room.
It took a long time for Jian Yu to understand the purpose of this girl who claimed to be a Slytherin tutor.
I hope she manages to communicate with her classmates in a friendly way and doesn't keep having points deducted during normal lessons.
"Miss Jian, I know you have extraordinary abilities, but many students in the same grade as you come from prominent magical families, and it won't do you any good to be at odds with them."
"You have to spend another seven years here with your classmates, please be kind..."
Jian Yu was confused.
Students from magical families are at odds with each other?
The mayor asked me to improve the relationship between my classmates and make them friendly.
But she didn't know any of her classmates, which was very embarrassing!
So she refused: "I can't".
Mayor Jemma's expression changed.
This new student doesn't even pay attention to the famous twenty-eight sacred Clans?
Slytherin is astute, assesses the situation, and protects herself wisely. She doesn't believe that any student from this house would rashly offend these pure-blood families.
Unless this new student's background makes her confident enough.
Is this some kind of magical oriental family that is hidden from the world?
Her attitude became more cautious.
"Can I call you Yu?" Gemma gave what she thought was the most perfect and polite smile.
This time, Jian Yu understood.
"Of course, Senior Gemma."
Exchanging first names is a sign of goodwill and closer relationships in the British witch community.
Gemma relaxed and continued to use her social talents:
"I can understand. But maybe for my sake, are you willing to go to class? Keep deducting points for that, which will bring a lot of pressure to my work."
Jian Yu understood. As she missed class today, her college points were deducted again.
That seems to have caused problems for this elderly person.
Although she wanted to give up, she still felt guilty for causing difficulties for others.
"I'm going to class."
It came as a complete surprise to Gemma!
My family isn't very powerful, so I thought Jian Yu would be as unceremonious as she was with those pure-blood families, but I didn't expect her to actually agree!
Having achieved her goal, she happily dropped a chocolate ball as a souvenir and hugged Jian Yu again.
Then she walked out the door as majestic as a victorious general.
