HP in the name of Slytherin

How to describe the feeling of meeting Catherine Apep Slytherin for the first time? Many years later, little Barty's memory of that time was blurred - he was always reluctant to remember the details of that day because it was too embarrassing.

But he always remembered how Catherine made him feel...

When he dragged Regulus and rushed out, when Catherine and Tom walked around the corner, they saw that the four of them were about to collide into a ball. Catherine waved her hand lightly, and the two of them immediately stood there unable to move.

This legendary witch who traveled through thousands of years, whose real age is unknown, and who has very special gray hair and gray-blue eyes, said in a gentle voice that was very inconsistent with her noble status: "Don't be too anxious, it will be bad if you fall. "

As soon as the words fell, the silent magic that imprisoned them was lifted.

Little Barty blinked blankly, feeling the magic and power of magic so intuitively for the first time.

Unlike his father, who was stingy about showing him, and unlike his mother, who had weak magic power and only used trivial magic all day long, little Barty later only remembered Catherine's gentle tone and her masterful silent magic.

So much so that he has always subconsciously respected Catherine from then on. This respect was planted even before he knew she was Catherine Slytherin, and began to take root earlier than his worship of Tom.

At this moment, he bowed his head and apologized in a rare and obedient manner: "I'm sorry, I was too excited."

The sincerity of his attitude even surprised his good friend Regulus.

Tom silently pulled Catherine back a little bit. He always felt that this kid's eyes were strange.

Barty Jr. selectively ignored the defensive black-haired boy and introduced himself enthusiastically: "My name is Barty Crouch, you can call me Barty Jr., my name is the same as my dad's, haha, he Too lazy. This is my friend Regulus Black. We had something to do with Professor Dumbledore last night, but it was too late, so he took us in to stay here for a day."

He finished everything he said like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and apologized again: "I'm sorry, I was so excited that I almost bumped into you just now."

If Severus felt that little Barty was a prick, Catherine felt that little Barty was a completely enthusiastic and cheerful child.

In particular, it looks like the two of them are about 11 years old. If they enroll in school this year, wouldn't they be Tom's classmates?

Catherine is very happy that Tom has made new good friends. The more beautiful relationships there are, the happier Tom, who was born out of love, will be, and the further away he will be from Voldemort.

"It's okay, don't be too nervous," Catherine said with the attitude of being a good sister, her expression was very gentle, "I am Catherine Slytherin, and this is my brother, Tom Slytherin... Well, you know him. us?"

In fact, little Barty's face was slightly red, but as Catherine introduced herself, it turned red. The change in skin color was so obvious on his fair face that it was really difficult for Catherine to ignore it.

Little Barty was indeed so excited that his head was dizzy, "I, I'm not dreaming..."

His voice was so weak that he seemed about to faint at any moment.

Regulus quickly supported him and said to the confused Catherine: "Xiaoba admires people with powerful magic. Your father was once the strongest dark wizard, and you are also very strong..."

"No, no," little Barty quickly covered his friend's mouth and said with a blushing face, "I not only like you because your magic is powerful... you... no, I mean... you are very strong, and also... Gentle... no, ahem... I mean, it's nice to meet you, Miss Slytherin."

Little Barty seemed to have just tamed his limbs and mouth, and for a moment he wanted to shake hands with Catherine. Before Catherine stretched out her hand, he took it back and prepared to bow. He also seemed to find that bowing in this position would be too close to Catherine, which would offend her, so I got stuck halfway through my bow...and my mouth kept chattering nervously.

"Sorry, I'm a little confused!" He simply showed off his cards.

"Pfft..." Catherine was amused by his appearance and laughed directly, "It's okay, he's very cute, little Mr. Barty."

Tom:…

Tom glared at little Barty, who was pretending to be cute, from a corner where no one could see him. He turned to Catherine and said softly: "Kat, is the time you agreed with Professor Dumbledore about to come?"

Listen carefully, his name is Catherine "Kat". He is most likely the first person in the world to call Catherine this name. Kat, if pronounced slightly, means Cat, which means cute cat...

Haha, little Barty, right...

Tom lowered his eyes and looked at the light blond boy opposite, "What are you comparing to me?"

Little Barty thinks Miss Catherine's brother is a bit strange, but if his surname is also Slytherin...

A small light bulb flashed in his head, "Hey, are you also Mr. Salazar's child?"

Tom:…

Not happy, but trying to smile: "No."

"Oh." Little Barty scratched his head and didn't care too much. If not, why did a person named Slytherin suddenly appear? Wasn't it said that the surname Slytherin is currently used by only Miss Catherine in the entire wizarding world?

This seems to be Miss Catherine's privacy. Little Barty thought this and did not continue to ask, but Tom had already read his meaning through his expression.

Hey, he won't be angry if you say that.

Tom's smile instantly became sincere: "My last name was given by Catherine, and I am her brother."

Little Barty scratched his head in confusion: "Then you are also very powerful?"

Catherine listened to the conversation between Tom and Barty Jr. for a few seconds, and became acutely aware that if she continued to stay here, it would not be conducive to Tom making friends. She simply said: "Tom is indeed very strong. If Mr. Barty Jr. has anything to ask, The same goes for asking Tom if I'm not here."

Tom's already proud little head immediately lifted higher.

Catherine suppressed a smile and said, "I'm going to find Dumbledore first. Tom, can you accompany Barty and Regulus for a walk? They don't seem to have enrolled in school yet, so they probably aren't familiar with Hogwarts."

"No problem!" Tom's mind was filled with what Catherine had just praised him, and his sense of responsibility was already higher than Hogwarts Castle. "Don't worry, I will take them to have fun!"

Little Barty:! ! !

What a paradise on earth Hogwarts is! The legendary Miss Catherine is powerful and gentle, and the kind-hearted Tom Slytherin is ready to take them to play! Can the admission notice arrive soon? He really can't stay at Crouch's house for a minute!
