The Bard at Hogwarts

After everyone left the auditorium, a tall man with a prefect's badge on his chest walked out of the Slytherin team.

"All freshmen, come over here! Come closer to me."

In line with the principle of keeping a low profile, Ino followed the newly admitted little snake in front of him and slowly moved closer to the prefect.

However, the development of things is always unexpected. When the Slytherin freshmen lined up in two columns, he was placed at the front of the line by the prefect.

Looking at Malfoy, who was sitting in the first row with a 'should be so' look on his face, Ino didn't want to say a word now.

I had already made up my mind to keep a low profile and not attract attention, but I didn't expect that I had just been tricked by the Sorting Hat only a short time ago.

In just one meal, Slytherin's unspoken rules changed his hands.

Things have happened. Although he was forced to stand in the C position, he also knew that the only thing he could do now was to do nothing and just stay quietly.

As for retreating quietly, or asking rashly for the reason... I'm afraid it won't be enough to steal the spotlight.

It is worth mentioning that the Gryffindor next to him is not sure whether it is to challenge him or simply to imitate others.

They also placed the newly drawn SSR savior Harry at the top of the list of freshmen.

…

After being separated from other houses, the Slytherin freshmen, led by their prefects, meandered down the marble stairs on the side of the corridor.

Along the way, Ino was always paying attention to the surrounding environment.

Well, in the dark basement and the maze-like stairs, the only means of lighting are scattered torches on the walls. The weak firelight not only does not bring any warmth, but also adds a bit of gloom to the place.

He now finally knew why there were rumors that the Slytherin common room was once a dungeon.

With this atmosphere, dungeons may be too high to reach, but death row may be a little closer to reality.

A few minutes later.

The prefect who led the way stopped in front of a stone wall, turned around and looked at the new students.

"I assume you all have memorized the route you took here? The first step to entering the Slytherin common room is to find this stone wall accurately."

"What about the second step? I mean how to open it." Malfoy asked pretending to be calm.

Malfoy may have wanted to pretend to be mature and steady, but he had forgotten the basic expression management during conversation. His arrogant look seemed to say that he was the only one in the freshman team who was qualified to speak.

Ino moved his steps calmly. He wanted to give Malfoy the best compliment award, but he was being taken advantage of without even realizing it.

The prefect on the opposite side obviously wanted to give the freshmen a show of strength, but he was worried that no one would answer his question.

really!

"Great! That's what I'm going to say next."

The prefect first looked at Malfoy with interest, then turned to look at all the freshmen:

"The second step into the common room is to say the correct password, but if I find someone leaking the password to an outsider... Hey! I will be happy to show him Slytherin's tradition of punishing leakers."

Speaking of this, the prefect changed his previous gentleness and became cold and stern. Under the background of the fire, he looked even more sinister.

Looking at the freshmen's lingering fears, I know that the goal of establishing prestige has been achieved, and the rest is just carrots.

Thinking of this, the prefect changed his previous coldness and smiled at everyone with a bright face and said:

"Of course, you have passed the test of the Sorting Hat and are already a Slytherin, so I believe you will never do anything leaking. Now listen to me, the password for the common room this month is - Glory!"

"Boom boom..."

As the prefect finished speaking, the stone wall on the opposite side slowly opened, revealing a crack that had just been opened for one person to pass through.

Taken as a whole, this is about the Leaky Cauldron opening the way to Diagon Alley, which is essentially the same.

The freshmen passed the stone wall one by one in the same order as before.

…

mystery!

This was Ino's first impression of the Slytherin common room.

The entire hall is rectangular, and the long and narrow passage is lined with luxurious seats and velvet-wrapped sofas. The most shocking thing is the transparent wall at the end of the hall, and opposite the wall is the Black Lake.

If you look carefully, you can even see schools of fish swimming at the bottom of the lake.

The Slytherin common room is dark green in color, especially against the backdrop of the black lake, giving it a mysterious feeling like a sunken ship.

After the new students have adapted to the environment, the prefects will begin to allocate dormitories.

Maybe it's because the castle is big enough, or maybe there's always no shortage of rooms in the dungeon.

Therefore, Slytherin's dormitory allocations are also varied, ranging from a minimum of two people to a maximum of six people.

In fact, it is not difficult to see here that Slytherin demonstrates the privileged class everywhere, and it has even become an established rule.

"Eno Swinburne, Draco Malfoy..."

As expected, he was called first again and was assigned to the same dormitory as Malfoy.

"Destroy it...I'm tired!"

Ino no longer cared about everyone's reaction.

He now wants to know where Slytherin, which is based on the blood class, took the wrong medicine and allowed a strange 'Swinburne' to be ranked in front of 'Malfoy'.

He knew very well the origin of his last name. On his 6th birthday, the old nanny in the orphanage slapped her head and dug it out of an unknown storybook.

…

Half an hour later.

After the class leader finished the dormitory assignment and explained some other matters, he turned around and left.

His departure revitalized the freshmen.

The freshmen no longer stood stiffly, but chatted leisurely.

Even several freshmen ran to the side and communicated with some senior students sitting on the sofa. Just looking at the similar facial features and almost identical hair color, it was not difficult to find the relationship between them.

Ino was not interested in joining this intimate recognition meeting. He just wanted to return to the dormitory as soon as possible and then quietly think about the almost farce of the division just now.

He ignored the inquiring eyes around him and walked straight to the dormitory he had just assigned.

…

At the same time, after Ino left, a large-scale discussion began in the common room.

"Draco, you and Swinburne were in the same compartment on the train? What kind of person is he?" Pansy suddenly asked.

Pansy seemed to have asked everyone's thoughts. The slightly noisy environment just now suddenly became much quieter.

Even some senior students looked at Malfoy with curiosity, as if they were looking forward to hearing some secrets next.

On the other hand, after seeing everyone's attention, Malfoy swallowed back the refusal he had originally intended to say. He now enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.

"Ahem! Although I don't know much about Ino, when I first met him, I knew that we are the same kind of people, real Slytherins..."

In the following time, Malfoy told as much as possible about his understanding of Ino, as well as his various guesses, reasonings, and assumptions...

Of course, all these guesses and assumptions became the so-called "established facts" after some processing.
