Chapter 86 Professor, thank you for your chicken soup
.....
"What should I do?"
Malfoy's back could no longer stand straight. He sat there dejectedly, asking himself this question over and over again.
However, his knowledge was really limited, and he had no idea what to do.
Suddenly, he had an idea and figured out one thing.
He was really too stupid. The other party was definitely not saying this just to scare him.
So, he raised his head and asked carefully: "Professor Swan, how about we have a conversation between a professor and a student?"
"You tell me what to do?"
"Hahaha!"
Sebastian laughed heartily. He just liked the cleverness of Slytherin students.
If he was facing a Gryffindor iron-headed lion now, he would probably point at his nose and scold him for being despicable.
Sebastian stood up and walked to Malfoy and sat down.
"Draco, the answer to your question is actually very simple. Treat people equally and make more friends. As long as you have more and more friends, your business will be easier and easier."
"The British wizarding world is so small, and there is only one magic school. That is to say, all the classmates you meet in school are your potential customers and employees."
"Think about it, if you offend them all now, won't it bring many potential enemies to the Malfoy family?"
"Draco," Sebastian changed the subject, "What do you think is the most important trait for us Slytherins?"
The most important trait?
Is there any doubt about that?
Malfoy blurted out: "Bloodline!"
Hearing this answer, Sebastian smiled and shook his head.
"If bloodline is the most important, then there will be no half-blood wizards in Slytherin College."
"Remember, the qualities we value most are shrewdness and ambition."
"Only a shrewd mind can prevent you from doing stupid things, such as making enemies everywhere."
"And ambition can make you understand your pursuit. As long as you have the motivation to pursue your ambition, you will not be mediocre in your life."
"As for bloodline? Haha..."
Sebastian sneered, revealing a contemptuous expression.
"If bloodline can represent everything, there won't be so many impoverished pure-blood families in the magic world."
"If bloodline can represent everything, you and Mr. Potter wouldn't lose so badly in the duel."
Hearing about the duel, Malfoy's face immediately darkened.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of grievance in his heart - the professors are too partial to Potter.
It would be fine if the professors of other colleges favored Potter, but even the dean of his own college favored Potter and even arranged for Potter to become an assistant teacher in the potions class.
What made him even more angry was that Potter's superb duel skills were actually taught by the Slytherin professor in front of him.
Malfoy was full of reluctance and confusion.
He was obviously a student of Slytherin, so why did Potter get such preferential treatment?
He looked up at Sebastian, his eyes full of grievance and confusion.
Seeing Malfoy's aggrieved look, Sebastian couldn't help rubbing his head.
"Draco, you are actually very good. The requirements for the Stunning Spell are not low. It's great that you can use it now."
"Logically speaking, these powerful offensive spells are a bit difficult for second-year wizards."
"What's the use," Malfoy muttered, "I still lost to Potter, and I didn't even touch the corner of his clothes."
"Don't underestimate yourself. According to my observation, the only first-year wizard who is better than you should be Harry Potter."
"Professor Swan, can I catch up with Potter, or even surpass Potter?"
"Surpass Potter?" Sebastian smiled.
"Our only opponent has always been ourselves."
"Draco, remember, don't feel yourself dim just because you see others shining."
"Everyone has his own pace. You have to work hard, but don't be in a hurry. All success requires time to accumulate."
"But..." Malfoy whispered, "I still want to surpass Potter."
"If you must surpass Potter, then you have to be ruthless and work hard."
"Try to become a great person."
"Say goodbye to the past and be a better person."
"Remember one thing, you can only know how good you are if you try your best."
"You were born to be a mountain, not a blade of grass!"
After drinking several bowls of chicken soup, Malfoy was so excited that his blood boiled. He wished he could find a place to practice spells right now.
Seeing Malfoy's eyes shining and his fists clenched, Sebastian knew that the time had come, so he struck while the iron was hot.
"Draco, Professor Snape and I have high expectations for you."
"Looking at the entire Slytherin, your talent is one of the best."
"We all hope that you can grow up quickly and become a Slytherin flag that everyone likes."
Sebastian stood up and stretched out his right hand to Malfoy.
"Draco, let's work together to make Slytherin College better!"
Without disappointing Sebastian, Malfoy stood up suddenly and shook his hand vigorously.
"Professor Swan, I will definitely make changes and live up to your and Professor Snape's expectations!"
Malfoy left excitedly. Unlike when he came, he held his head high and walked with a breeze.
...
After the duel with Malfoy, Ron couldn't wait to pester Harry, begging him to teach him a few moves so that he could show his skills in the duel club.
After hearing Ron's request, Hermione also asked Harry to teach her some duel skills in advance.
So, after dinner, Harry took Ron and Hermione to an open space outside the Quidditch field and began practicing spells. They did not go to the dormitory until the sun had completely set.
However, on their way back to the dormitory, a sudden change of stairs brought them to the corridor on the fourth floor.
"I think," Hermione gasped as she looked at the long-abandoned corridor in front of her, "this is the corridor that Headmaster Dumbledore said would kill people."
"Then what are we waiting for, get out of here!" Ron was so scared that his legs trembled.
Unfortunately, just as they turned around to leave, they saw a cat squatting at the stairs.
"It's Filch's cat," Hermione also became flustered. "If we get caught, Gryffindor will lose a lot of points. In more serious cases, we will be expelled!"
She looked at a room at the end of the corridor and called to the two people: "Go, hide in the room first!"
"Look at the good way you lead!" Ron turned the door handle hard, but found that the door did not move at all. "The door is locked, we are finished!"
"Go away, useless thing!" Hermione pushed Ron away, took out her wand and pointed it at the door lock. "Alahoo!" As soon as
the voice fell, the door lock opened, and a group of people entered one after another, hiding inside and dared not make any sound.
Harry put his ear to the door and heard Filch leave after shouting a few questions, so he whispered: "Filch left, let's go."
Seeing that no one answered him, Harry turned around and prepared to see what was going on, but the scene in front of him made his hands and feet cold. There
was a huge three-headed vicious dog sleeping in the room. The fishy smell between breaths made Harry almost unable to open his eyes.
Harry was extremely nervous. He knew that even if he tried his best, he couldn't do any harm to the monster.
So, he pulled Hermione and Ron back step by step, and retreated outside the door the moment the vicious dog opened its eyes.
They ran desperately until they returned to the Gryffindor common room, and then stopped panting.
"There is such a monster in the castle!" Ron, who escaped, was somewhat relieved.
"If the monster just now was awake, my mother couldn't collect my body even if she wanted to."
"Unbelievable, this is what the book said, the safest Hogwarts in the wizarding world!" Hermione panted, and she was very tired from running all the way.
She recalled the scene she had just seen: "The dog seemed to be guarding something, it was standing on a trap door."
Guarding something?
Hearing Hermione's words, Harry immediately thought of the small package he and Hagrid had picked up at Gringotts. He was about to say something when he heard Hermione say.
"We are glad that we were not bitten to death or expelled."
"Harry, thank you for your spell teaching today. If you have nothing else to do, I will go to bed."
"I need to get enough energy to face the duel club tomorrow..."
