HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 57: Showing Good Will and Skipping Class

The Christmas holidays were over soon, and many students returned on the Hogwarts Express.

The Slytherin common room returned to its former liveliness, the fire in the fireplace crackled, Draco sat on one side of the sofa, Gloria's back resting on his shoulder, the two of them reading the books in their hands without disturbing each other.

As a few people came in, the surrounding students greeted them. They were Zabini and others whose relationship with Draco had cooled.

But this time, he didn't give a fake smile and leave. Instead, he came to them.

Gloria looked up lazily, Zabini's smile was still as perfect, Daphne was still as gentle, Theodore just followed silently, and immediately sat down on the sofa when he arrived. Pansy was the most awkward, and wanted to smile, but when she saw the intimacy between the two on the sofa, the corners of her mouth twitched as if she was not smiling or not.

Several other small family members have already found places to sit down.

Zabini first took out a beautifully wrapped gift, "It's a Christmas gift. I'm sorry I don't know your address."

Gloria placed the open book on her knees and said calmly, "I didn't prepare any gifts for you, so you don't have to."

However, they put the gifts on the table together as if they had discussed it beforehand.

Zabini didn't care about her cold attitude at all, "It's okay. I'm looking forward to exchanging Christmas gifts with you next year."

This was a gesture of goodwill. Gloria looked at the gifts and called out, "Tok."

The house elf appeared, bent down and said, "How can the honorable Miss Gloria help you?"

"Put these gifts away." Gloria did not refuse. Why should she block a family that wanted to make friends actively?

Tok snapped his fingers, and all the gifts disappeared along with him.

The group of people looked visibly relaxed.

"Draco, we heard you received a big gift." Daphne said, "We are all very curious."

Young Master Platinum's eyes were filled with joy, "I can only receive it during the summer vacation. Now I only have photos."

Gloria was wondering why these people suddenly showed goodwill, it turned out that he was showing off.

Draco sent one of the photos of the black flame dragon to his parents for Christmas. The Malfoys naturally knew how precious this creature was, not to mention that they could sign a blood contract.

Because of this, Lucius did not blame his son for becoming distant from Zabini and the others.

Lucius, who returned home after Christmas, mentioned this matter at other gatherings. The wives of those people asked Narcissa for confirmation and got a positive answer.

What kind of family can hide completely in the magic world without being discovered, and even raise extinct creatures from the outside world? No matter how you guess, it must be an ancient, powerful and low-key family.

The fact that a member of such a family appeared in Hogwarts indirectly indicates that this family is going to take action in the wizarding world.

The opportunity was right in front of them, how could their children miss it.

This is why Zabini and others took the initiative to show goodwill. Through the children's descriptions, these parents understood that Gloria had a solid foundation and dared to ignore the family behind them.

The small group seemed to have returned to their previous state, as if their relationship had always been so close.

The next day, classes went as usual. In the morning, Gloria saw Hermione back to normal. When she looked at her, Hermione smiled shyly.

Gloria thought they laughed too early because they had Potions class in the afternoon.

Even though Harry and Ron kept praying for time to slow down, the morning passed by.

During lunch in the Great Hall, the two looked dejected, and the Weasley twins sat beside them, putting their hands on their shoulders.

Fred stared at Ron with a smirk, "Look what happened to our little Ronnie, do you need mommy to write a comforting letter to coax you to eat?"

Ron pushed his hand away irritably, "Go away Fred!"

George smiled and shook Harry, "I know you have Potions class this afternoon, don't you want to go?"

Harry looked up at him silently, the meaning was very clear: yes, he wanted to escape.

Fred slapped Ron's shoulder hard, causing him to roll his eyes at his brother in pain.

The two brothers brought out a box with the words "Weasley&Weasley" written on the lid.

After opening it, there are cardboard compartments, and in each compartment is placed the products they worked hard to make.

Fred began to introduce them, "Vomiting candy, eating it will make you vomit for ten minutes. It's an improved product, you will vomit after eating it, remember to be prepared."

George pointed at a red candy and said, "Cold candy. You will enter a cold state within one minute after eating it. The effect is quite strong. You will sneeze and have a runny nose constantly and will not be able to do things normally."

Fred said: "As for the others, most of them are prank products. We plan to make more products for skipping classes this semester. I believe the sales will be very good."

Every student at Hogwarts wants to skip classes sometimes.

Harry and Ron stared at it, eager to try it. Harry pointed at the cold lozenges. He didn't want to vomit in class. "How much is this?"

George replied: "5 silver Sickles, absolutely worth the money!"

Ron asked, "Can you make it cheaper?" He held up two fingers shamelessly, "Two Sickles."

Fred patted his head bluntly, "Dream on."

Harry took out 5 silver Sickles and gave them to George. George took the money and gave him the cold candy. He looked at his brother and asked, "Little Ronnie, don't you want to skip class? Five silver Sickles."

Ron was very hesitant. He and his siblings had limited pocket money each semester, and it was just the beginning of the semester, so he was reluctant to spend so much at once.

"I'll buy two more." Harry took out more money and said to Ron, "I can't let you and Hermione stay."

"I'll pay you back." Ron was happy now.

The Weasley twins, who had successfully made money, happily took the money and gave all three cold candies to Harry. George did not forget to say, "Come back to us if you need anything."

After the twins left, Harry gave the candy to Hermione and explained its effects.

Hermione looked disapproving, "Potions class is a must. You can't escape it twice if you can't escape it once. Are you going to eat these candies every time you go to Potions class in the future?"

"The old bat must have prepared a lot for the first class. I don't want to see that face." Ron didn't care about that and ate the candy.

The two boys ate the cold candy and soon developed symptoms. They sneezed and their heads kept shaking, and their snot flew onto their faces.

Hermione stepped back in disgust, using the book to shield herself, "Merlin's socks - you're disgusting!"

The two were unable to speak and supported each other as they walked towards the medical wing.

She had no choice but to go to the classroom alone. Those two guys skipped class this time, and they would be even worse off next time.

In the Potions classroom, Gloria saw Hermione come in alone and was curious about where the other two had gone.

The strange thing was that when class time came, not only did Harry and Ron not show up, but Professor Snape was also late.

The students were whispering to each other, all guessing what was going on.

"Potter and that Weasley have been arrested and put in detention before the class even starts?" Draco said with disgust.

Gloria was not sure about the situation either. "Maybe something delayed him."

Maybe those two unlucky guys were late and met Professor Snape and were being scolded.

A few minutes later, the classroom door slammed open, and behind the dark-faced Professor Snape stood two students, Harry and Ron.

They looked dazed, with despair in their eyes.

Hermione didn't dare to look at them anymore. It was over -
