Below the title is a panoramic shot of Hogwarts School.

[Dumbledore declares: Miss Slytherin's identity is confirmed without a doubt]

The accompanying photo shows Dumbledore being questioned at the Ministry of Magic, looking seriously into the camera.

[What has Hogwarts experienced in the past year? 】

There have been a lot of headlines like this in recent days, and the Daily Prophet has been selling out.

Since the exams were cancelled and the locked room incident was over, everyone attended classes as usual, but they were obviously much more lazy.

Almost all students have subscribed to the Daily Prophet recently. The news of the appearance of Miss Slytherin has caused a stir in the outside world.

The turmoil outside had nothing to do with Gloria who was in school, but there were many people secretly watching her in school.

After the school party, Draco immediately wrote a letter to his parents. Narcissa was so happy that Gloria was Regulus' daughter that she wrote a long letter to Gloria the next day. Her love for her cousin Raelle extended to his daughter.

Lucius spent the most space praising Draco and expressed his full support for their relationship, saying that they could turn to him if they had any difficulties.

Owls kept flying in and out of the hall. A new newspaper was thrown in front of Draco. After reading the report on the largest page, he looked at Gloria beside him, "Look, my father was interviewed about our relationship."

Mr. Malfoy in the picture exudes nobility and elegance in every movement, with a hint of pride on his face, and you can see the joy in his eyes through the photo.

Everyone in school knew they were in love, and the news must have spread.

Gloria glanced at the report and said, "Mr. Malfoy was able to resist responding directly. What was the reason?"

Draco put away the newspaper, leaned in close, and whispered, "Father said that you and I will have our first dance at my birthday party. This will be like officially announcing our relationship to everyone. The union of Slytherin and Malfoy must be grand and glorious, and we must not lose the etiquette of a pure-blood family."

Gloria lowered her eyes and smiled softly, and replied in a low voice: "Since the official announcement of the relationship was made at Malfoy Manor, how about holding the formal engagement party at Slytherin Manor?"

Draco's cheeks flushed instantly, and he bit his lower lip tightly. His hot palm pressed against the back of her hand, and his eyes seemed to want to swallow Gloria in one bite. "Of course."

If they were not in the auditorium, the boy would have kissed his beloved girl long ago.

At the Gryffindor table, Harry and the others who were facing the two of them all frowned.

"I can't believe it." Ron felt like he was going to vomit. "Why would Gloria fall for that bastard?"

Harry used his fork to mash the food on his plate. "Malfoy's father was kicked out of the school board, but he's still so proud of himself."

"How can I not be proud——" Hermione rested her chin on her hand and looked at the couple opposite her, "My father is not a school director anymore, but my girlfriend is."

Gloria became the school director without any surprise. Her identity was there, her ancestor was one of the founders, so she had a share in the school no matter what.

Speaking of this, Ron's expression changed to surprise. "Gloria is so rich that she actually renovated the entire school. Even the Quidditch pitch is being rebuilt. It is warm and windproof. We can watch the game well in bad weather. Oh - and brooms. Madam Hooch received thirty of the latest Nimbus brooms. Next year's first graders will be so lucky to use such good brooms."

The brooms they used in the past year were almost bald, and they shook a lot when they rode them, as if they wanted to throw every student off. Most of the Gryffindor players still used the Sweep series brooms.

Harry sighed, "Yeah, Wood has gone to Madam Hooch to ask to borrow a test pilot."

Ron said, "Fred and George plan to borrow a broom from Madam Hooch for the competition next year. The competitions are all on weekends anyway, so they won't need them in the first grade. It will take them at least another school year to save up enough money after collecting the discount coupons for the new brooms."

Hermione glanced at them, not really understanding the boys' love for Quidditch and brooms, "I was even more surprised that Gloria smashed the stone sculpture in the Chamber of Secrets, saying it was too ugly and completely different from the portrait of Salazar at home. Merlin's hat - her family actually still has a portrait of one of the founders of the school. I'm really curious about what it looks like."

"She's a Slytherin, so it's not surprising that she has a portrait." Ron said, "Mom said Gloria is not a bad kid, as can be seen from the gifts she gave us."

Hermione wanted to roll her eyes, "You should be thankful that you brought Lockhart with you. Luckily he took Ron's wand."

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and Ron vividly imitated Hermione's admiring voice when she mentioned Lockhart, "Professor Lockhart is so handsome. Reading his books is like going through an adventure together -"

Harry's shoulders were shaking and he was laughing until he couldn't breathe. Hermione was so angry that she threw a book at them both.

The professor whom she had idolized for almost a whole school year turned out to be a huge liar. Hermione wished she could continue to be petrified.

·

Gloria and Draco returned to the common room together. Summer vacation was about to begin, and Lucius and Narcissa agreed to pick them up at King's Cross Station and go directly to Malfoy Manor.

As soon as they came back, the originally lively lounge became quiet.

It has been like this since the first day her identity was announced. Many students are still not sure about her identity, even though Headmaster Dumbledore himself confirmed it. The Slytherin family disappeared for so many years, and there has never been any sign that they still exist, but now they suddenly appear.

A group of senior students stood up from the sofa, and what made Gloria look cold was that they sat in their reserved seats.

The leader, Goss Avery, looked at them provocatively, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. Malfoy, whose father was just kicked out of the Hogwarts Board of Directors, and Albert, whose true identity is in doubt."

Draco was about to step forward in anger, but Gloria gently stopped him, "I'll do it."

She walked up to the group of senior students, "Who are you to question me?"

Avery scoffed, looking at the locket she was wearing, "I have seen this locket, and as far as I know it does not belong to you, Albert, and you actually stole it and pretended to be the Heir of Slytherin!"

The group of students behind him stared at Gloria coldly.

"So..." Gloria's expression remained unchanged, "Are you questioning me based on my identity as that half-blood running dog from the side branch?"

Avery's eyes widened, veins popping out on his forehead, "What did you say!"

Draco was so fierce that he looked like he was going to attack her any second. He pulled out his wand and pointed it at them, "Stay away from her! I swear on the Malfoy family that if Lori gets hurt in the slightest, you will all pay the price!"

Zabini and the others also became nervous.

The people in the small group were still hesitant. They were also struggling in their hearts, unable to say whether they hoped Gloria's identity was true, but... Zabini stood up, also drew his wand, walked to Draco, and demonstrated his attitude with his actions.

This was an opportunity. If Gloria's identity was true, then this confrontation was the time to make a choice. Immediately, some students came to Draco, while most of them stayed where they were.

Avery looked at the group of people behind Draco and said coldly, "Because of this locket, you believe this impostor?"

"I've been waiting for an opportunity." Gloria spoke, "The academy founded by Salazar is different from the other three academies. Fundamentally, strength speaks for itself."

She looked at Avery and the others coldly. She had already thought about how to determine her position in Slytherin House when she first enrolled.

The Slytherin students must be impressed, otherwise such doubts will only continue to arise.

Gloria stood still and hissed, "Come out, it's time."

Three snakes flashed out from her school robe, and expanded in size the moment they landed. Screams echoed throughout the lounge, and everyone stepped back in fear.

The three giant snakes, with their bodies still coiled up against the ceiling, stared at all the students. Avery had lost his previous arrogance, and his face was distorted with fear.

Gloria's silver eyes flashed with a cold dark light, "You are the first." Then she turned to the black-scaled Apophis and hissed, "I want him to suffer, so much pain that he dares not offend me again!"

No one knew what she was talking about, but no one could move. An unknown force kept them in place, except Draco and the group of students behind him.

Avery suddenly let out a terrible scream. Even though he was not touched at all, the pain was as if he was under the Cruciatus Curse. No... it was even more terrible than the Cruciatus Curse.

Avery fell to the ground with red eyes, bulging eyeballs, snot and tears all over his face, and his body twisted beyond recognition. Seeing his miserable state, the other senior students who had followed him were trembling with fear.

After an unknown amount of time, Gloria called Apophis to a halt. Avery seemed to have lost his soul. He was still breathing but lying motionless on the ground.

Gloria walked a few steps closer, squatted down and said to him: "This is a small punishment. Do you know what to do when you see me next time? Answer me!"

Avery rolled his eyes and nodded in horror.

"Very good." Gloria stood up, "It's the next one..."

Under the gaze of all the students, those who followed Avery were all tortured painfully, but Avery suffered the most.

After all this was over, Gloria spread her arms. "To be honest, I'm not a very cruel person, but if anyone dares to offend the Slytherin family, I probably won't kill him, but I will make him suffer more than death. You won't have the chance to tell anyone about what happened today, but you will always remember it. It will only exist in your memory, and even Legilimency cannot retrieve this memory. This is what I, Gloria Slytherin, do."

There was silence at the scene. Golinia released her control over them, but everyone was still in the wave of fear.

Gloria said: "You don't need to call me Slytherin anymore, just call me Gloria."

Draco tilted his head to look at the three snakes. Jörmungandr glanced down at him and tilted his head, which made the boy feel that they were not so scary.
