HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Gloria's comfort made them feel a little better. Hermione thought she was a good person, but it was a pity that she was assigned to Slytherin. She also became friends with Malfoy.

The last time she and Ron were cast into a spell, it was very easy to remove it, otherwise she would have rushed to the Slytherin dormitory and punched Malfoy.

"It would be great if you were sorted into Gryffindor." Hermione sighed.

Gloria was silent for a moment. If she was assigned to that college, Salazar would probably burn his own portrait to trigger the remaining magic to deal with her.

"Slytherin... is also good."

Now it was Harry and the others' turn to be silent.

Ron looked at Gloria several times before asking, "Is it true what you said last time? Gryffindor and Slytherin are good friends."

"It's true." Gloria said, "And they are very good friends. Maybe you haven't noticed that students from the two colleges have some similar traits."

Harry grimaced, "How is it similar?"

"Gryffindor is reckless, Slytherin is conceited, both are traits of having an overly good self-esteem, and similar ambitions, you basically use them for adventure, while we use them for ambition."

These were some of the characteristics of the two founders, except that one was brave and the other calm, and when it came to the issue of black magic, they took two completely opposite paths.

"Really?" Ron looked at his two friends quietly, and their reactions were similar to his.

"My family has a long history, and some things from that time were recorded. Slytherin wanted to teach students the Dark Arts, but Gryffindor opposed it, as did the founders of the other two houses. Slytherin insisted that the Dark Arts could make wizards stronger and better able to deal with persecution from the outside world. The three to one negotiation failed, so Slytherin simply left the school."

"Professor Binns said this." Hermione remembered that Slytherin left the school because of different educational philosophy.

"So it's not surprising that I can be friends with you, it's just that the basic philosophies of our two academies don't match." Gloria felt that she was able to become friends with them because she was more tolerant.

"We know you don't believe in pure-blood supremacy," Harry confirmed.

Gloria smiled. Their ideas were really simple. "I don't believe in pure-blood supremacy. Every wizard is precious and should be well nurtured and raised."

After hearing this answer, the three of them became more certain that Gloria was different.

Gloria shook Hermione's hand. "For example, Hermione comes from the Muggle world. There are about 60 million Muggles in the UK, but only about 3,000 wizards. Excluding pure-blood wizards, there is only one wizard like Hermione for every 20,000 to 30,000 Muggles. As someone said, magic can only flourish in a very small number of souls, and you are one of those few, a beautiful flower of magic."

Hermione's cheeks flushed and her eyes filled with tears after hearing these words. After entering the school, she had heard many insults from the pure-bloods about her background, while her friends always praised her for her excellence.

Gloria's words are an appreciation of the beauty of her existence.

"Thank you, Gloria." Tears fell and Hermione couldn't help but smile happily, "This is the best compliment I have ever heard."

Harry and Ron were equally shocked by Gloria's views on Muggle-born wizards.

"It would be nice if other pure-blood wizards thought the same way as you do," Ron muttered. "We are all wizards at heart."

"It may be for the probability of the offspring becoming wizards. For example, if a wizard marries a Muggle who cannot use magic, the probability of giving birth to a Muggle child is very high. The number of wizards is small to begin with, and wizards of Muggle origin are naturally close to Muggles, so..."

It is possible for wizards to have a Squib child when they marry wizards, but the chances of this happening are much lower than when they marry Muggles.

"This is far from us, so let's not talk about it anymore. Are you going home for Christmas or staying in school?" Gloria simply changed the subject. They were only in the second grade, so they should talk about topics closer to life.

"I must stay." Harry was a little shy. Gloria didn't know his specific situation yet.

"I'll stay too." Hermione had to make Polyjuice Potion, so of course she couldn't go back. She couldn't rely on these two poor Potions students at all.

Ron said, "My parents are going to Egypt to visit Bill, my oldest brother, for Christmas. He works as a curse breaker at Gringotts Bank in Egypt. As for whether Percy and the others will stay at school, they haven't told me yet."

"What a shame." Gloria sincerely thought, "I have to go back for Christmas, but your gifts are ready, so you can receive them on Christmas day."

All the friends she knew stayed in school this year, but she had to go back.

"We have also prepared gifts, but where is your home address?" Harry asked excitedly.

They couldn't find her address. "On the night before Christmas, several owls will fly to your dormitory window. Just give it to them." Slytherin Manor has ground owls, which can enter and exit freely.

The three of them took note silently. Now they were the only ones in the hospital wing with the petrified Colin. Madam Pomfrey seemed to be busy organizing potions and did not come in to chase them away.

As they chatted, they looked at Colin. Harry thought that this was a rare opportunity and Gloria knew so much. If he let her know some things, he might be able to get more information.

"Gloria, are house-elves only found in pure-blood families?" Harry knew that she had house-elves, and the delicious food shared in the hall was made by those elves.

Gloria nodded, "Yes, they became slaves after they lost the wizard war. Pure-blood wizard families have a large number of house-elves, and they can continue to reproduce."

There weren't many house-elves left in her family, probably because the previous heirs didn't care about these creatures and didn't intervene when their numbers decreased. It was not until Gloria's generation that things got much better.

Harry asked, "Do you know a house-elf called Dobby?"

"I don't know them." Gloria heard the name for the first time. "There are more than a hundred house-elves in Hogwarts alone. I don't know the others except my own."

The three were not disappointed. Hermione's favorable impression of Gloria was unprecedentedly high. "Harry, tell Gloria what the elf said."

Harry pursed his lips and said, "During the summer vacation, the house-elf named Dobby told me not to come to Hogwarts, saying that there was a terrible conspiracy against me. It was him who made the Bludgers chase me during the Quidditch match with Slytherin. He showed up again the night I was injured and said that history would repeat itself in the Chamber of Secrets."

"The house-elf is stopping you from going to school?" Gloria thought about it. This was indeed rare. Dobby was definitely not from the Potter family. The elf could not harm its master.

No wonder they drove a magic car to school on the night they first met. It must have been Dobby's doing.

"Yes, there is no way I won't come to Hogwarts." To prevent Harry from going to Hogwarts would be to destroy all hope.

"He was right about one thing. The Chamber of Secrets was indeed opened fifty years ago."

Hearing such great news, the three of them perked up and listened carefully.

"It was Draco who actually shared this information with me, and he didn't even tell the rest of the school." Gloria continued, "Fifty years ago, a Muggle-born wizard died after the Chamber of Secrets was opened. The school and the Ministry of Magic eventually found the murderer and expelled him, but they don't know who the murderer and the deceased are."

The three of them fell into deep thought, wondering who it was, but the time interval was too long, and their parents were not born fifty years ago.

"Didn't you continue writing letters to ask?" Ron said anxiously.

Gloria shook her head. "No, the relevant information was intentionally hidden by the Ministry of Magic. Besides, it was a letter from Draco's family."

Hermione recovered and said, "Thank you, this information is so important!"

Gloria knew they were on to a new adventure, as Gryffindors always did.

Knowing that the Chamber of Secrets had indeed been opened and that a Muggle-born wizard had died there, Harry and the others became even more nervous, fearing that the next student to encounter an accident would not be petrified.

After visiting Colin and parting with Gloria, the three of them stayed in the abandoned bathroom again.

"Should we continue to brew the Polyjuice Potion?" Ron was a little uncertain. They already knew what happened fifty years ago, but unfortunately they didn't know who was expelled for opening the Chamber of Secrets last time.

"Of course continue." Hermione was unwilling to give up, "What Malfoy said to me last time was very suspicious."

"Hermione is right," said Harry. "Even if Malfoy only said this out of bad intentions, we should still give it a try."

The more Ron thought about it, the more he felt something was odd. "But... he released the Monster in the Chamber of Secrets and even killed a Muggle-born wizard, but the school and the Ministry of Magic only expelled him instead of sending him to Azkaban? That's incredible!"

"We don't know who the murderer is. The letter from the Malfoys only said that he was expelled. Maybe it's about going to prison." Hermione guessed.

However, it would be a long time before we could find the heir based on this information alone.
