"Draco, he has improved a lot compared to your performance last year."
A short-haired witch at the second year Slytherin table teased the blonde boy opposite her.
And the boy's expression immediately turned displeased.
"He's just a mere half-blood, tell you. I'm going to be the seeker for our team this year, and help Slytherin win the college cup!"
Last year, blood man Barrow was sitting next to him, which scared him half to death and became a big stain on his life.
"Draco, are you really going to join the team?"
Hearing that Draco was joining the team, the attention of the little wizards was immediately attracted.
To know that Quidditch is a sport that almost few wizards will not like, and the annual Quidditch competition is also the most concerned thing.
"Naturally, my skills are far superior to that oaf Potter; he's just been lucky."
Malfoy said smugly.
In fact, it was his father who sold quite a bit of stuff in Diagon Alley and then used that money to outfit the entire Slytherin Quidditch team with the latest Zonko's Zoomer 2001s, which is why this opportunity came about.
As the banquet was almost over, Dumbledore, Snape, and McGonagall rushed back in.
Dumbledore gave some tips and ended the opening banquet with a group singing of the school anthem.
"First-year students, follow me."
At this moment, the head teachers of the four long tables in fifth grade almost all stood up at the same time.
The first-year students of the four colleges also stood up and followed their college headmasters to start going to their dormitories.
Leaving the Great Hall, they arrived at the first-floor hall, where the four houses began to separate.
The Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw witches climbed the marble staircase to the upper levels of the castle, while the Slytherin and Gryffindor witches went to the lower levels of the castle.
The Slytherin dormitory was even further down than the Hufflepuff dormitory.
"You guys, out of the four dormitories at the school, our Slytherin dormitory is the best because you can see the underwater world of the Black Lake and the magical creatures that live in it directly from your dormitory and common room."
The head teacher in front, seeing the Slytherin witches because of the cold and darkness of the lower room, showed some discomfort in their expression. They immediately raised their head proudly and introduced them.
And upon hearing that they could see the magical creatures living beneath the Black Lake from their dormitory, the young witches immediately showed excitement.
Because they were impressed by the great octopus that had saved them during the boat trip across the Black Lake earlier.
"Pureblood!"
Walking to the end of the basement, the head teacher shouted a command and the wall instantly cracked open, revealing a large room covered in green. It was Slytherin's common room.
"The password for the common room changes every two weeks, and the new password will be announced on the notice board."
The head teacher introduced the witches as they entered the common room.
At this time, the attention of the young witches was completely attracted by the scenery in the common room.
The magnificent decorations, exquisite furniture carved with patterns, and the beautiful view of the Black Lake through the transparent glass all immediately mitigated the darkness of the dungeon.
The most magical of all is a medieval tapestry hanging above, depicting various famous adventures that the Slytherins had undertaken at that time. It's like watching a big movie, and the characters in it occasionally greet you and chat with you.
"Look, it's a mermaid, a mermaid just swam past!"
"All right, these are things you'll see often, don't be too surprised."
"Now I suggest you go and tidy up your respective dormitories first. On the left for the boys, and on the right for the girls. There are signs with your names outside the dormitory doors, and you can move in according to your name."
The head teacher nodded satisfied and left after giving some final instructions.
"It's just like living in an aquarium."
George took a look at the common room and didn't continue to tour the common room with the other young witches. Instead, he turned and walked in the direction of the boys' dormitory.
Soon he found his name on a door with three other names beside it, which meant he had three roommates.
"Baron Balanta, Evi Son, Cezar Burke, it looks like none of these are famous families."
George took a quick glance and didn't pay much attention to it. He pushed open the door and walked into his dormitory directly.
Just like the common room, the dormitory was also filled with transparent glass, allowing a clear view of the underwater scenery outside.
"It seems you haven't been hungry either."
On the bedside table closest to the door, George saw Peachey, who was stuffing his face with a sumptuous meal. Clearly, as a house-trained wizard, he had not been disappointed in his pet's provisions for the young witches' pets, and he had prepared a hearty dinner for them as well.
"Goo goo ~goo~"
Hearing George's arrival, Peachey happily responded with a "Goo goo ~goo~" and went back to his busy work.
George simply packed away his belongings and sat on the soft bed, picking up a magical book to start reading.
In fact, his hard work in studying magic was not only to enhance his strength and protect himself, but also because he truly loved magic in his heart.
Thinking about things from his previous life that only existed in illusions, now actually appearing before him and within his grasp, how could he not be fascinated by this magical power.
To be honest, nothing in his previous life had ever captivated him so completely.
If it wasn't for the need for sufficient sleep to better learn magic, he could even throw away sleep and study and research this magical power for twenty-four hours a day.
Sometimes he would have thoughts that maybe this current life is the one he truly wants.
Rather than spending every day like a robot going to and fro, wearing a mask to entertain bosses, colleagues, and clients, and gradually aging into a pile of ashes that will be buried in a tomb by future generations.
Looking back on his life, there was nothing worth cherishing.
"That scum of a mermaid dared to scare me through the glass. Once I learn powerful dark magic, I'll make sure she knows my strength."
"Of course, we are the most noble wizards and purebloods. In the future, we will certainly become important figures in the wizarding world."
About half an hour later, the three young witches chattered into the dormitory.
When they saw George and the massive Peach by his side, they were quite startled as well. Even though they had seen very few owls as large as Peach, their own pet owls were only the size of a hand.
"Hey, kid, are you Zhai Jiao?"
"Call me George or Jiao."
George replied without looking up.
The three young witches looked at each other and the one who looked the strongest, with a broad neck, said:
"I like your bed, you take your luggage to the bed at the end."
Their fathers all work at the Ministry of Magic, and they have known each other since they were young. Having discovered that the last person in the dormitory was a half-blood who made a bit of a splash at the banquet, they decided to come in and give him a lesson.
So they didn't really like George's bed, but only did so to show him that they were the ones who mattered in the dormitory or in the first-year Slytherin house, and to let him know that they were the main players.
