HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 172 Secret Love and Discussion

Sirius drank five large glasses of wine after sitting in the bar for a short time.

Harry finished the butterbeer in front of him, "I was thinking about the clue inside the golden egg at the time, and forgot about the staircase prank trap. The scream when the golden egg fell and opened attracted Filch."

"Hahaha!" Sirius laughed happily, and even made Harry laugh along.

Gloria looked at their silly looks and shook her head silently.

"Professor Snape said that someone broke into his office and some potion materials were missing..." Harry told everything that happened that night without reservation.

"Wait--" Gloria interrupted him, "He's missing potion ingredients?"

Harry nodded blankly.

"What ingredients are missing?" Gloria asked.

"I don't know about that." He said, "Professor Snape didn't mention it. Later, Professor Moody showed up. His magic eye... you know, that eye that could see me through the invisibility cloak, so he helped me."

"Just a lack of materials." Sirius didn't care.

Gloria thought about it and felt that Jörmungandr was definitely not wrong about Karkaroff that night, but his subsequent performance made there were fewer and fewer suspicious points about him.

Professor Snape is short of potion ingredients again.

"The Marauder's Map almost fell into Professor Snape's hands again. Luckily, Professor Moody got it back for me and told me not to lose it again."

Sirius said, "We originally created the map for nighttime exploration, but since you are a passive participant in the competition, you should refrain from going out at night."

Harry naturally agreed.

"By the way, it's a good thing that you, Leah, spotted Bagman's leprechaun coin on the night of the Quidditch World Cup, otherwise Fred and George wouldn't be the only victims."

Harry asked curiously, "What happened? Didn't he give it to the wrong person because he was dazzled?"

Gloria sighed secretly, "There were many people who came to him to gamble at that time. Judging from the many names written on the paper, I guess they didn't pay according to the agreement, but used the leprechaun gold coins to fool them."

Harry gasped, "Won't he be found out by this?"

"Who knows." Sirius shrugged. "I heard that some goblins came to him a few days ago. It seemed that they wanted money."

"I saw it," said Harry. "He even came to me to say hello. He, the Director of the Ministry of Magic, was cheating people out of money."

Harry knew that Fred and George had given all their money to Bagman that night, but luckily -

When they were chatting happily, Sirius smiled and said, "Harry, about the girl you like, I must say..."

Harry's face had turned red, and Gloria sat up straight in silence.

Girl you like?

Sirius then realized that Gloria didn't know about this, "Uh...I'll write to you later."

Harry wanted to bury his head in his chest.

Gloria raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who do you like?"

After the first project was over, Harry was in a depressed mood. He thought it was because he was upset about the golden egg, but it turned out to be because of the girl he liked. Looking at his attitude towards Parvati on the night of the Christmas ball, it was clear that Harry didn't like her.

That can only be because I didn’t invite the girl I liked.

"Qiu Zhang from Ravenclaw, please keep this a secret for me and don't let Malfoy know." He was sure that if Malfoy knew, he would spread the news to the whole school.

Gloria was not impressed by students from other colleges. "Of course, why didn't you invite her?"

Harry rubbed his hands together and said, "Cedric Diggory of Hufflepuff invited her first. I asked her too late."

Gloria didn't ask any more questions, seeing that his ears and neck were turning red.

Sirius raised his glass to hide his smile.

Slytherin and Hufflepuff took the Charms class together, with the two houses sitting on each side.

The short Professor Flitwick came in with an armful of books and cast a levitation spell onto the pile of books.

"Students, let's learn a new spell today, the Banishing Spell."

The Hufflepuffs had already started chattering, and the Slytherins were waiting at ease for what would be said next.

"Alright, be quiet." Flitwick maintained order in the classroom. "The Banishing Spell is the opposite of the Summoning Spell. I must explain this before learning. Be careful of other students when casting spells. For your safety, I have prepared cushions for you."

The Exorcism Spell can make the object of the spell fly out, and if the direction is not controlled well, it is easy to hit the people around.

Draco got two cushions from the two bodyguards and gave one to Gloria.

"Do you know this spell?"

Most of what he learned were black magic and offensive curses, very few of which he could use in daily life.

"I can," Gloria said, "but I suggest you put a protective spell on yourself first."

Professor Flitwick on the stage had already recited the spell and asked everyone to recite it together. After correcting the pronunciation, he controlled a box to fly to the corner.

"Being able to cast the Banishing Charm and throw the cushion into the box is considered a success."

Gloria raised her hand and chanted a spell towards the cushion. The object drew an arc and fell into the box. Everyone looked over.

"Very good!" Flitwick was used to her excellence. "Five points for Slytherin. Everyone, get moving."

Crabbe and Goyle, who were in front, almost poked the cushion with their wands, but the cushion only moved slightly.

Gloria corrected Draco's pronunciation and posture, and after ten minutes he succeeded, but the accuracy still needed practice.

Gradually, some people also succeeded in making the cushion fly, but the direction was very messy.

"How's your spell practice going?"

Since she often practiced spells in the dormitory, Draco often went out with two bodyguards to find things to do, "rectify" the atmosphere of the school, or stop a few students from other colleges.

"It's perfect." Gloria said, "I have stopped practicing and will consolidate it before the competition."

Draco dropped the cushion accurately into the box, "Let's go on a date then, you've been busy since the Christmas break."

"No problem, nothing happened recently."

Ogden was stationed very stably at the Ministry of Magic. Although Fudge didn't trust him much, his professional level was very good, so he was quite useful to him.

Nothing else unusual happened in the school since the note was thrown, and the Death Eaters outside never appeared again, as if the night of the Quidditch World Cup was just an illusion.

"What's so good about her? She just studies by holding a book."

"That's disgusting. Krum must have been deceived."

There was an empty aisle next to Gloria's seat, and next to her were Hufflepuff students. At this moment, several girls were casually tapping the cushions with their wands and chatting.

"I didn't expect Krum to like that silly girl who only knows how to read books."

Draco also looked over. "Speaking of Granger, I heard a lot of this kind of talk in the castle some time ago."

The girls heard the voice and looked over, and found that Gloria was also staring at them, so they quickly lowered their heads.

"Just jealousy." She didn't lower her voice, but stared at the girls and said, "Anyway, Krum doesn't like girls who talk bad about others behind their backs."

The girls didn't even look up when they heard it.

In the end, the spells class ended with cushions flying all over the classroom, and few students managed to throw the cushions into the box accurately.
