Snakes at Hogwarts

Chapter 170 Candidates for the 1st Gryffindor Trio

"So Dumbledore really told you this?"

In the Great Hall, Ron looked at Harry in disbelief.

"I mean, the principal knows that you have done so many serious violations of school rules, and yet he hasn't expelled you from the school?!"

His voice was loud, causing several senior students not far away who were studying with books in their hands to raise their heads in dissatisfaction and stare angrily at Ron who was yelling.

"First of all, the principal did not pursue these minor issues."

While putting spoonful after spoonful of cereal into his bowl, Harry looked vaguely annoyed as he looked at his best friend Ron beside him.

"Secondly, you have asked the same question many times, and this time I will only give you the same answer. Yes, he didn't say anything."

"Finally, as my good friend, shouldn't you hope for the best from me! Why do I feel that you think it is a pity that I was not expelled from Hogwarts?"

"I didn't, I just find it incredible! Merlin's pantyhose, Dumbledore didn't even give you a small confinement?"

"Keep your voice down, if you don't want to be locked up by Professor McGonagall for a few days." Harry covered his good friend's mouth angrily.

"Can you please bring me some pieces of meat and chop them? I'm going to starve to death."

"Oh, okay, you see what I told you before is right. There is something weird about that mirror. You really should stay away from it early in the morning."

Ron Weasley had an annoying afterthought tone.

"What mirror? Harry, what were you talking about just now?" came a timid voice from the side.

Of course it could only be Neville's voice.

Due to the appearance of Andros, Hermione has been sorted into Ravenclaw by the Sorting Hat. Now, the savior will no longer think about gathering her own Gryffindor adventure trio.

And this seems to indirectly lead to the relationship between Neville and these two people being barely good.

In fact, Harry once suspected that the reason Neville would choose him and Ron was because he and Ron were the only ones in Gryffindor who did not show any obvious rejection of the always cowardly little fat guy.

Yes, it was repulsive. Neville's relationship with most of the young wizards in the same grade was very average, especially with the senior students.

He didn't seem to be very popular with the little lions.

Even his good friend Ron would sometimes gossip about Neville with Harry. Of course, Harry knew in his heart that Ron was just complaining and his intentions were not bad.

This should be considered one of Ron's few advantages.

As for why Neville is so unpopular with Gryffindor students, do I need to tell you?

In the eyes of the little lion, this guy is obviously not brave enough. He neither loves adventure nor, like most Gryffindors, has an indifferent attitude towards school rules and disciplines.

Instead, he was submissive all day long and couldn't even remember something as simple as the password to enter and exit the lounge.

It's like he completely lacks the good qualities that Gryffindor appreciates.

How could such a person be sorted into the excellent Gryffindor instead of the mediocre Hufflepuff?

The Sorting Hat must have contracted some mad disease or eaten something unclean.

The arrogant little lions thought this way, and they did not accept Neville as a member of the lions from the bottom of their hearts.

Remember what I said before, Gryffindor and Slytherin have a lot in common.

One of them is the extreme rejection of misfits.

For example, when Hermione was first sorted into Gryffindor, this outstanding little girl was not popular because she followed school rules too much.

Even if she earned a lot of points for Gryffindor through her own efforts.

Let me tell you, there has never been a college that is neither good nor bad.

Gryffindor is not a white wizard who produces light, and there has never been a saint's academy for black wizards.

It is always the person who decides these things, not the college he is in.

Of course, growing up in such an environment does affect a person's character.

Wasn't Neville also influenced by Gryffindor in the end? He even killed Voldemort's snake during the final battle.

It was Voldemort's last Horcrux.

Not everyone has the courage to do this, especially when he is facing the most powerful Dark Lord in history.

This may be true courage.

"Nothing Neville."

Ron waved his hands impatiently, obviously he didn't want to say anything.

However, Harry seemed to suddenly think of something.

"Neville, have you ever thought about what you desire most?" he asked with interest.

"What you desire most?"

"Yes, what is the most urgent thing in your heart?"

"Or maybe, I won't have to go to Professor Snape's Potions class anymore." Neville stammered in reply.

The expression on his face was strange as never before, but Harry and Ron, who were so amused by the answer, did not notice the sourness flashing in Neville's eyes.

Was the thing he longed for most just to stop enduring Snape's torture?

I'm afraid not necessarily.

Again, everyone has their own little secrets deep in their hearts that they don't want to tell others easily.

"I didn't expect that, Neville, you actually expected Professor Snape to die! I can't even think of such a thing!"

Ron patted Neville's shoulder enthusiastically.

"I'm not~me!"

"Think about it, if he never attends Old Bat's Potions class again, does that mean that he has completely left this world?"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhing me condition condition" if Snape hears this.

"Why are you so cowardly? Look at me, when have I ever been afraid of that bat spirit?"

? ? ?

.....

A few people continued chatting for a few words, but the topic quickly turned to other directions.

"Harry, aren't you going to Quidditch training today?" Neville asked.

"Forget it, those Slytherins have taken up the whole place. Damn it, they can always take advantage of the good weather." Before Harry could say what he was thinking, Ron took over.

Looking at his eloquent appearance, people who don't know the situation will definitely think that this guy is the seeker of the Gryffindor team.

"Yeah, it's pretty much what Ron said." Harry nodded slightly.

""We are going to go find Hagrid later, the giant who sent us across the lake when we were freshmen. What do you think? Do you want to go with us? "

"Ah~ me~ me?" Neville began to hesitate.

It's said to be hesitant, but actually it's a sign of lack of confidence.

"Don't worry, Hagrid is very nice and enthusiastic. He will definitely like you."

"Yes, and Hagrid will also enthusiastically entertain you with snacks he made. The rock biscuits he makes are delicious. You must eat more."

As if he thought of something, Ron's face was filled with a bright smile.
