Struggling to survive at Hogwarts

Many hands make light work, and with Thea as a cheat code, that's all we need too.

Before long, everyone stuffed the little elves into the cage.

The young wizards looked at each other in bewilderment at the mess in the classroom.

So Thea stepped forward once again.

A simple "restore to its original state" function restored a torn textbook to its original condition.

With Thea as their leader, the young wizards began to follow suit, trying to restore the classroom to its original state.

"...I must tell my dad! How can someone like that be our professor? He can't even handle a few elves!"

Draco looked at his torn book, casting a spell as he spoke indignantly.

Unlike usual, almost all the young wizards nodded in agreement.

Facing the subconscious glances from the crowd, Thea cleared her throat. "Professor Lockhart did indeed fail to fulfill his responsibilities as a teacher this time. However, the appointment and removal of professors at the school is decided by Headmaster Dumbledore, and I do not have the authority to approach the Headmaster."

Seeing the young wizards' disappointment, Thea smiled with satisfaction, "However, I think we should report this to the prefect and the headmaster. I believe they will give us a reply."

Thea turned her gaze to Harry, who looked somewhat bewildered. "Mr. Potter! Could you perhaps speak to Professor McGonagall or Prefect Weasley about this?"

"Ah... um... um, I will go."

Harry was a little taken aback when he was suddenly called upon, but he still accepted the task that Thea had given him.

Thea looked at Harry's bewildered expression, and her smile grew wider and wider.

First, amplify Lockhart's responsibility and shift it to Dumbledore, then boost the young wizards' confidence in the headmaster and prefects, and finally shift the blame to someone else!

OK! Mission accomplished!

"Thea, are you really going to find...Professor Snape?"

Professor Snape wielded considerable influence in Slytherin, and even Daphne was somewhat afraid of the Headmaster.

When Draco saw that Thea didn't answer immediately, he assumed she was also afraid to face Professor Snape, so he immediately stepped forward.

"...It's alright! Thea, I'll talk to the dean!"

Thea looked at Draco, who had a righteous expression but a pale face, and couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "When did I say I was going to see the Dean?"

Before the others could ask questions, Thea continued, "I only said that we should report this to the class monitor and the dean, but I didn't mention which dean it was."

Besides, Professor McGonagall is the vice-principal; what business is it of Professor Snape's with the appointment and dismissal of professors!

Everyone: "..."

"Thea, you're so cunning!" Draco finally managed to utter this after holding it in for so long.

Thea didn't care. "I'm a Slytherin, after all. Treachery is our badge of honor, and cunning is our motto! Isn't that right?"

After pondering for a while, everyone realized that indeed, cunning was not a derogatory term in Slytherin!

For the next few days, Thea's life continued as usual.

However, Kassia noticed that many young wizards seemed to be secretly staring at her!

Even the professor called on her more often during class.

Thea thought back on what had happened in the past few days, but she couldn't figure out why.

Since her goal was simply to get good grades in the academy, Thea didn't bother to delve into the reasons.

In just a few days, Thea earned over 80 points for Slytherin all by herself! She basically took all the points in each class, while Hermione only got a few.

I don't know how Draco and the others publicized Thea's "risky behavior" in the news, but the prefects were much friendlier to Thea.

The whole Slytherin was infected by Thea's enthusiasm, and they all vied to give Slytherin extra points.

Once they got into studying, they had no time to bully classmates or do other similar things. The entire Slytherin school was immersed in a fervent atmosphere of learning and a relatively peaceful campus life.

Thea's peace was eventually shattered by an owl.

"Whose owl is this? I've never seen it before," Daphne asked, pointing to the owl that flew in front of Thea.

“It must be the school’s owl! I’ve never seen one before,” Theodore replied.

Thea pushed aside the plate in front of her and untied the note from the owl's leg.

"Sister, I've finished reading all those books. Do you have time at 7 pm tonight? I'll be waiting for you at the Hufflepuff lounge."

Thea read the entire note and carefully put it into her pocket.

Then, smiling, he said to Draco and the others, "It was an invitation from a friend of mine."

"Who is it..." Theodore hadn't finished speaking when Daphne stepped on his foot.

Theodore winced in pain, his unfinished question stuck in his throat.

"You boys shouldn't meddle in girls' affairs!" Daphne tried to change the subject.

Several people turned to look at Thea, only to see her smiling without saying a word. They understood what Shea meant, so they stopped asking questions and continued eating their breakfast.

Today is Saturday, and tomorrow night is the first study group meeting of the semester. Thea's brows furrowed as she thought about this.

Seeing this, Daphne asked with concern, "What's wrong? Thea, are you feeling unwell?"

Thea didn't hide anything from her: "Someone asked me to meet her tonight, but there's a party tomorrow..."

Daphne immediately understood Thea's meaning. "Don't worry, I'll organize those study materials by myself tonight. If all else fails, there's Draco and the others, aren't there?"

"Thank you, Daphne!" Thea said sincerely.

Daphne simply waved her hand, telling Thea not to worry about it. She didn't ask too many questions, such as who Thea was going to meet or where the meeting was.

Daphne's intelligence brought increasing satisfaction to Thea's eyes.

At 6:30 p.m., Thea checked the time, took out several sheets of paper covered with writing from the drawer, put them in her bag, and headed to the Hufflepuff lounge.

Daphne noticed this too, but said nothing and simply lowered her head to continue organizing the documents.

"Sister!" Daisy called out excitedly and softly as soon as she saw Thea appear.

"Yes, Daisy, come with me, there are a lot of people here."

As Thea spoke, she gestured for Daisy to follow her, and Daisy naturally followed obediently.

The two walked through the corridor and climbed several flights of stairs before arriving at an abandoned classroom.

As soon as Thea entered, she first cast several cleansing spells around her, and then cast a silencing spell around herself and Daisy.

Daisy was pulled into a chair by Thea, looking dazed.

Seeing the serious-looking Thea in front of her, Daisy also put away her joking thoughts.

"Daisy, have you finished reading those books?"

Daisy: "I've finished watching it."

"Is there anything you don't understand?" Thea asked again.

"No."

"That's good. Now let me reintroduce myself to you."

“I am now the heir to the Black family, and my parents are Rodolphus Lestrange and Bellatrix Lestrange.”

Because the Lestrange family relinquished custody of me, I reverted to my mother's surname and currently live with my aunt, the Malfoys.

Seeing Daisy nod, Thea straightened her expression and asked seriously, "My parents are both notorious dark wizards. Now, do you still decide to stay with me and stay at Hogwarts?"
