Anduin also cut a piece of lamb chop and ate it slowly. Actually, he wasn't particularly hungry. He had eaten a lot of snacks in the car. He found that Hogwarts' cooking level was much higher than the outside world. Although it was as greasy as most British dishes, at least the seasoning was decent.

The banquet hadn't been going on for long before various ghosts appeared one after another. Some fell from the sky, and some emerged from the tables, scaring the freshmen into exclaiming.

Anduin, however, looked at these ghosts with shining eyes. It was the first time he had seen the dead appear before him. He even curiously hugged a ghost passing by him, his hand passing through the ghost's body without any sensation.

"If only I could get a ghost to study, these things are rare." Anduin began to have sinister thoughts again. In a way, Anduin and Slytherin were quite compatible.

The freshmen around him were also getting to know each other while enjoying the food. However, Anduin found that this was indeed Slytherin. They immediately asked about family background and history. He also found that several freshmen discovered that they were relatives while chatting, and they began to recognize each other. Moreover, many freshmen already knew each other, probably like Vivian, whose families often visited each other.

And Vivian even knew a few people, probably having met them this summer.

The wizarding world is really small. Watching the Slytherin freshmen around him trying to get close to the acquaintances around them, he was like an invisible man, as if he was not affected in any way, silently eating the lamb chop on his plate.

"Hi, friend, I'm Randal Rosier. Why are you eating here silently by yourself? You look very unfamiliar. I heard your name is Anduin Wilson. I've never heard of the Wilson surname. Are you a descendant of some foreign wizarding family?" A boy suddenly sat down next to him, also a first-year freshman, with short light golden hair, chatting with Anduin with a smile.

'I am a descendant of the dragon, I'm afraid I'll scare you to death if I say it,' Anduin secretly complained in his heart, turned his head and glanced at him, recognizing that this person was sitting next to Travers just now. Anduin estimated that this kid was probably arranged by Sampel Travers to find out the truth.

"No, I am not a descendant of any foreign wizarding family. It's normal if you haven't heard of it, because I am a wizard from a Muggle family. Is there a problem?" Anduin's tone was indifferent, without any emotion, looking at Randal with emotionless eyes.

Randal was sized up by Anduin's cold gaze, and his originally smiling expression became a little stiff.

When the surrounding little wizards heard that Anduin was actually a wizard from a Muggle family, they all turned their heads to look at him, and then turned their heads to discuss with their partners, sharing the news about Anduin.

You know, very few wizards from Muggle families are assigned to Slytherin. Some little wizards looked at Anduin with curious eyes, while others looked at him with less friendly eyes.

Anduin felt that Travers and Rosier's behavior was very childish, and he didn't care about the strange gazes of the surrounding students. In his eyes, these freshmen were just a bunch of kids, and Anduin had no interest in integrating into their family atmosphere. He just wanted to study and research quietly, and it would be best if no one with bad eyes disturbed him.

However, Anduin had learned from Vivian before that some of Slytherin were half-blood wizards from famous families, and some were purely pure-blood wizards. It was inevitable that something bad would happen when a Muggle wizard like Anduin fell in, so Anduin secretly made up his mind that strength is the most important thing, and he must prioritize mastering self-protection methods in a short time. After all, the current situation in the wizarding world is still in turmoil, and it is inevitable that some little wizards who admire the Dark Lord will regard him as a target.

After Randal Rosier came to inquire about information, he was stared at by Anduin and felt uneasy. He sat back next to Travers again, and the two whispered to each other. After Travers heard the information Randal had learned, he smiled coldly.

He also looked up at Anduin, only to find that Anduin was also looking at him. The deep, watery eyes made Travers feel cold all over. After a 'hum', he stopped paying attention to Anduin.

The surrounding people slowly calmed down. After all, it was impossible to talk about family background in this public place. And the prefect Vanessa also stopped a few of the loudest people with her eyes. Anduin smiled slightly at Vanessa to express his gratitude, and then enjoyed the quiet and started eating again.

Before figuring out the situation, Anduin planned to be honest and lie low first.

Soon, the dinner came to an end. Professor Dumbledore once again stepped onto the stage to explain some precautions to all the students. Students were not allowed to go to the Forbidden Forest, and they should not get close to the edge of the school. The situation was currently sensitive, and many Aurors were arranged around Hogwarts to patrol around the campus.

"It's my favorite time again. Before everyone finishes dinner, let's sing the school song together!" Dumbledore waved his wand, and golden ribbons transformed into lyrics floating in the air.

All the teachers and students stood up and sang the school song in their own tunes. Anduin mixed in, unable to find the tune at all, and sang along blindly.

In Anduin's opinion, it was too out of tune to sing each other like this. All the teachers and students were singing with constipated expressions, and only Dumbledore was intoxicated, which made Anduin have some new views on this great wizard Dumbledore.

Everyone endured the school song time, and Professor McGonagall arranged for the prefects to lead the students back to their respective dormitories.

The Slytherin common room and dormitory are in the dungeons of Hogwarts Castle, located under the Black Lake. The crowd left the banquet hall, turned around several corners, passed through several staircases, and came to a wall.

"Serpensortia." The other fifth-year Slytherin prefect spoke the password, and a stone door would appear on the stone wall, leading to the common room.

Entering the Slytherin common room, the first thing that comes into view is a long, low dungeon corridor. Round, glowing green lamps are chained and hung from the ceiling.

At the end, below seven steps is an open activity space. There are carved chairs for students to rest, and some skulls are used as decorations. Part of the dungeon extends to the bottom of the lake, and the scenery of the bottom of the lake can be seen directly from the ceiling and windows, so the room has a green tone. The walls and ceiling here are made of rough stone, and a pile of fire is burning under an exquisitely carved mantelpiece. Nevertheless, the common room still appears dark and cold.
