HP: White Lord of Slytherin

The next day, Saturday, Draco went to the Pure-Blood Club. He heard that the club was located in an empty room in the basement of the castle.

Gloria's relationship with Zabini and others is average, so it is impossible for her to spend weekends with them.

After picking up her books, she prepared to go to the library to finish her thesis.

Regarding the abandoned bathroom with the female ghost, Gloria remembered hearing students mention it in the Slytherin common room. They mocked the female ghost for being ugly and fat, and threw things at her. Even if they didn't hit her, they would still be happy as long as they could get through her body and head.

The bathroom is on the second floor of the castle.

Hermione, who usually stayed in the library on weekends, was not there, and Harry and Ron were nowhere to be seen either.

After finishing her paper, Gloria did not leave, but instead read other books. There are so many animals and plants in the magical world, and not all of them can be found near her manor.

Before she knew it, it was already dark. After returning the books to their original places, she discovered that she seemed to be the only one left in the library, as Madam Pince was packing up to close the library.

Since the two petrification incidents occurred at night, most students would return to the dormitory after dinner.

There are portraits hanging in a few corridors of Hogwarts Castle, but unfortunately there were no portraits in the places where the previous two accidents happened.

"…Harry, is it really okay for him to be like that?"

"It should be okay."

When Gloria heard Harry's name, she stopped and looked carefully to find that it was the portraits on the wall that were chatting.

"So what did he hear?"

"How should I know? Something is really going to happen to the school now. If the school is closed, where will we be placed?"

“Maybe it’s sealed up in the basement.”

"Oh - I don't want to stay in the dark basement. I'd rather they put me in the highest place in the castle."

There was a lot to think about these portraits, but when it came to what Harry heard, Gloria stepped forward, "Hi, I'm Gloria, Harry's friend, you just mentioned him."

One of the portrait characters put on a monocle, saw her face clearly and said loudly, "I know you, a Slytherin student!"

When they heard it was Slytherin, the characters in several portraits all moved, turned around and ran to other portraits, running all the way to the picture frames on the upper floors of the castle.

Gloria: “…”

Did the Slytherin students do something to the portrait?

Gloria stood there for a while in frustration. She hadn't had a good conversation with Harry and the others for a long time, especially after the conflict over scolding Salazar. Even after they made peace, they didn't return to their previous state.

However, people are close to each other, and the friendship between the trio is already very strong. However, they cannot compare to the position Draco holds in her heart, so Gloria does not feel sorry about this.

The portraits were unwilling to reveal anything and their stories were vague, so Gloria did not chase after them.

Back in the common room, Draco excitedly shared with her what he had seen and heard in the club, and also met people from the other twenty-eight pure-blood families, such as Avery, Foley, Rawl, Selwyn and others.

"Haven't you seen them before?" Given the status of the Malfoy family, they should be familiar with the twenty-eight pure-blood families.

"I've met you before." Draco said, "But there's an age gap. We only said hello but never talked before. It's different now."

Gloria looked around and didn't see Zabini and the others. "Where are your friends?"

Draco knew who she was asking about, "They are also planning to join the Pureblood Club early, and they need to apply to those senior students."

That sounds really boring...

"You didn't go to the Great Hall at noon?" Draco asked her.

At noon, I received some candies made by my mother and wanted to share them with Gloria, but I never saw her.

"Yeah, reading in the library."

Draco handed her a bag of candy in his pocket. "My mother made it. It tastes delicious. Crabbe and Goyle begged me to give them a little bit."

Gloria accepted it with a smile, then remembered that she had not been to the Great Hall for dinner, so the Weasley twins would have to give her the things tomorrow.

"Thank you." He opened it on the spot, and the sweet smell filled the air. He picked up a piece of strawberry-flavored candy, which was no worse than the candies sold by Honeydukes.

"It tastes good, right?" Draco could see that she looked satisfied.

Gloria chewed the candy twice and swallowed it. Seeing the boy's high spirits, she smiled and said, "It's very delicious." Then she asked, "Your mother rarely makes it, right?"

Draco had mostly received envelopes before, but this was the first time he had seen snacks.

"Actually, my mother often sent me candy when I was in first grade, but I'm in second grade now and I'm not a kid anymore." Draco had his platinum hair combed back like before, and his facial features became more profound and straighter as the baby fat on his face gradually faded.

Seeing Gloria staring at his face intently, the boy's fair cheeks slowly turned red, "What's wrong?" His gray-blue eyes flickered left and right, not daring to look at that delicate and charming face.

Whenever Gloria stared at him, he felt uncomfortable and hot all over, but he didn't feel disgusted. In his heart, he hoped that she would look at him for a while longer.

"Draco, you're getting more and more handsome. Those girls often peek at you." Gloria said very seriously.

“Who would see it like you…” the boy muttered.

Gloria picked up a piece of candy and quickly stuffed it into his mouth. "Have fun at the club. The holiday will be in about a month. Have you thought about how to spend the holiday at school?"

Draco didn't lose his temper after being fed a mouthful of candy. If someone else had, he would have stood up and scolded him. He chewed the sweet candy into pieces and swallowed it along with the sweetness in his heart.

"Crabbe and Goyle are staying over Christmas too, to keep me company." He looked at Gloria with a hint of resentment, but the girl was selecting beautiful candies to taste and didn't notice his gaze.

"Very good, this way you won't be lonely. But don't worry, I will write to you every day after I go back, and take some pictures of my home for you to see."

Draco was the first outsider to see Slytherin Manor in many years.

When he heard that he could see her manor and write to her every day, he immediately became curious about what the manor looked like. "I wonder how your manor compares to mine. Is there a flying field?"

"The flying field... you'll know when you get there. You don't need that. The manor is big anyway, and there are many rooms. You'll definitely like it if you go there."

In the first few years when she could talk and walk, she loved running around the manor and didn't get tired of it until she was eight years old. Draco would definitely love it when he went there for the first time.

"Then come to my house first during the Easter holiday, and then I'll go to yours." The Easter holiday was already being planned before Christmas even began.

"Come to my house during the summer vacation. My manor is very well protected and I need to spend time controlling it."

Not only can Basil be admitted only at the end of the school year, but Slytherin Manor also cannot admit strangers until the end of the school year.

Draco felt a little regretful. "Okay, then take more photos during Christmas, and I'll take a look at them more and it'll be like I've been there once."

After talking about the holiday plans, Draco talked about the new evil spells he learned in the club, and he was looking forward to trying them out when some foolish guy provokes him.

He also talked about how he cast a leg-locking curse on Gryffindor's Longbottom in the first year, and many people saw Longbottom jumping away.

Gloria picked out another piece of fresh green candy and stuffed it into the boy's mouth. Her fingertips touched the soft lips. Both of them were stunned. Draco coughed twice and continued to talk about his previous pranks.
