Chapter 328 Glory to Hogwarts
Gryffindor.
Noisy common room.
Ginny chased Harry away. Maybe others didn't notice, but Hermione saw it all.
A smile of relief and blessing quietly appeared on her cheek.
For the few friends, Hermione knew very well that Ginny really liked Harry, not because of the so-called savior's reputation.
Maybe there was this reason at the beginning, but with Harry's fame declining in the past two years, only Ginny has not changed at all.
But boys seem to be stupid and can't always guess the girl's mind, but today, after seeing Ginny chasing out.
She sincerely blessed Ginny!
After all, it is really difficult for a girl to actively pursue someone she likes, and Hermione also deeply understands this.
…
To witness the happiness of her friends.
Hermione sat alone on the sofa in the corner with her legs crossed, holding a can of opened butter beer in her hand, and looking at the entrance of the common room from time to time.
As for the others, they were still immersed in the joyful atmosphere.
About half an hour later.
Suddenly, the portrait of the Fat Lady was opened.
Harry and Ginny walked into an entrance that was only for two people to walk side by side. Unlike the previous side by side, this time they held hands together.
Hermione saw this scene. While she was happy for Ginny, she was also a little envious.
"I haven't held hands yet..."
She regretted it now. She shouldn't have thought too much in the Room of Requirement. If she had just fallen down, it would probably be more than just holding hands...
As she thought about it, Hermione pursed her lips and took a sip of butterbeer again.
...
At the same time.
Unlike the Gryffindor banquet, the Slytherin common room seemed very quiet.
After a long time together, they knew that Ino was very "willful". When he wanted to be lively, he would take the initiative to chat with everyone, or tell stories, and even sing a song when he was happy.
But when he didn't want to be lively, even if they were in the same college, sometimes they didn't see each other in a day.
Today, it seemed to be the same.
There were many people sitting in the common room, but everyone kept quiet tacitly.
Tomorrow morning is the first game of the Triwizard Tournament. They also know that they will not be able to see the warriors in the morning. If they want to make the final blessing and encouragement, it seems that they can only do it tonight.
However, after waiting for a long time, the corridor leading to the boys' dormitory is still empty.
Slytherin, they are not as enthusiastic as Gryffindor, nor as cold as Ravenclaw, and even different from the perseverance of Hufflepuff. The little snakes always behave implicitly and introverted.
But this is just an appearance after all. When it comes to emotions or wanting to do something, Slytherin is more persistent, even paranoid.
Just like today, everyone wanted to send blessings, but no one took the initiative to knock on the door. Even though they have been here for nearly an hour, they are still sitting quietly in the common room, and no one left in the middle.
...
"Will he not come? Didn't someone see him return to the dormitory, or did he fall asleep?" Daphne asked in a low voice.
Daphne's voice was rare, but in the quiet surroundings, it still reached many people's ears, which also caused a little commotion in the common room.
"What do you think?" Pansy chuckled and turned her eyes to the boys' corridor on the side.
"There are some people you can always trust. And above that, there is another kind of person who you can completely entrust to him while believing and trusting him."
Pansy did not deliberately lower her voice, just like a normal chat, she said it openly.
Her words resonated a lot in Slytherin.
Everyone present, except for the freshmen this year, recognized this sentence very much.
This recognition was never a blind worship, but a trust generated after the established facts.
Many people present had witnessed Ino's promise, and this promise was fulfilled truthfully.
Harper Wake was one of them. As a half-blood wizard, he was sorted into Slytherin by the Sorting Hat after entering school in 1992.
With the emergence of the video mirror, he had given up everything and invested two galleons of his pocket money that he had saved for many years in the Malfoy Manor banquet last year.
Now, the dividend income alone has tripled the two galleons he had once earned.
In the face of huge interests, he still kept his promise. Even if he sat here quietly for an hour, Harper didn't mind.
Even if he sat for another hour, or even two hours, he would be willing.
And there are always many people like Harper in the whole Slytherin.
Even those who did not attend the banquet for various reasons contributed a little bit of strength through various channels afterwards, and they also received corresponding rewards for this.
...
Public lounge.
The slight commotion caused by Daphne's words was instantly resolved by another word.
Looking at the lounge that was calm again, Pansy nodded slightly. She was very satisfied with the performance of everyone present. Slytherin should be united, not ungrateful.
At the same time
There was a sudden sound of footsteps in the corridor leading to the boys' dormitory.
"I'm sorry! I was delayed by something just now, and I didn't expect everyone to wait for me here."
Ino looked around. The huge Slytherin common room was almost full at the moment. Some girls even squeezed together on a single sofa.
It seemed that Salazar Slytherin had not expected that there would be so many little wizards more than a thousand years later, and they were still gathered in the Slytherin common room on the same day and at the same time.
Seeing this, Ino raised his right hand slightly, "Thank you for your support! Glory to Hogwarts."
He did not deliberately sensationalize, and his tone was very calm, as if he was discussing the weather.
But such a calm sentence made many people involuntarily read it out loud.
"Glory to Hogwarts!"
When a person narrates calmly, the voice may be very small. But dozens, hundreds, or even hundreds of people speak together, although the tone is still calm, but it gathers an unquestionable belief.
...
In the dormitory.
Ino leaned back in the chair. The scene in the common room just now, he gradually understood why Tom gradually became Voldemort.
The tragic childhood experience is one aspect, and it seems that the change of mentality during school is also indispensable.
A teenager with a psychological age of ten years old, facing the pursuit and admiration of many people, is easy to become conceited and proud.
And if this teenager is an orphan with a twisted personality, the consequences seem to be imaginable.
But this cannot be blamed on Slytherin. If you have to find a reason, it is probably because his own ability is not enough to bear the fame greater than himself.
