Struggling to survive at Hogwarts

Daisy looked at Thea, whose eyes were full of seriousness, and did not answer immediately, but lowered her head to think.

Seeing this, Thea did not urge them, but continued, "If you change your mind, I will apply to Headmaster Dumbledore to help you transfer schools. You will then attend Beauxbatons School in France."

If you're afraid, I can send Iris over too. Until you're capable of supporting yourself, I'll cover all your living expenses.

Thea finished speaking in one breath, and then waited quietly for Daisy's reply.

In the silence, Daisy suddenly remembered what the Sorting Hat had said to her: "You have an indomitable courage within you, and to be honest, you should go to Gryffindor... But I also find a deep-seated pursuit within you. You seem to have a definite goal, which is rare for a child your age."

You will persevere there in pursuing your goals… So, Hufflepuff!

"Sister, if I want to go to Beauxbatons, what price will you have to pay?" Daisy looked up, staring intently at Thea, not missing a single expression from her.

Thea frowned, about to say something casually to change the subject.

"Don't hide it from me! Sister, I've grown up now, I'm not a little kid anymore!"

My sister just said a lot, but she didn't mention a single word about the price she would have to pay. I don't believe that the greatest wizard in the wizarding world would so easily agree to her request!

Daisy stared at Thea like an enraged little lion, but her tone softened upon noticing the other's slightly pale face.

“Sister, you can’t shoulder everything alone… I don’t understand, these things are clearly not your responsibility. Maybe it’s because we are weak, young, and foolish, so we don’t deserve your trust…”

Daisy suppressed her tears and solemnly said, "Sister, wasn't it you who abandoned us first, gambling with your own life, and came alone to this wizarding world that is so hostile to you?"

Now, are you going to abandon us again?

From the moment she received the farewell letter, the accumulated worries, pain, anger, and tension in her heart made Daisy become aggressive in the empty classroom.

Thea froze. She seemed to move her lips, and whispered, "No... I didn't mean to abandon you..."

"So, sister, can I stay? Even though I'm weak and foolish for now, are you willing to give me a chance?"

Daisy looked at Thea with hopeful eyes, and when she saw the other woman's eyes soften, she continued to exert her strength.

"We should stand together, not watch you suffer alone in the wizarding world. We're friends, aren't we?"

Daisy's words, like soft, sharp knives, easily pierced Thea's armor, leaving Thea with nowhere to hide under those bright eyes.

Whether it was the joy of finally having someone to help her after so much pent-up resentment, or the anger of having the truth exposed, Thea closed her eyes and said almost in surrender, "...Okay, okay, you can stay!"

Seeing Daisy unable to resist lunging at her, Thea revealed a terrifying smile: "However, if you fail to meet my requirements in any academic year, then, no matter the cost, I will definitely send you to Beauxbatons!"

“Yes, sir!” Daisy agreed without hesitation.

"So, my first requirement is: get 30 Hufflepuff points within ten days."

Upon hearing this, Thea successfully saw the disbelief on Daisy's face, and sure enough, the next second: "...30 points?"

“That’s right, it’s 30 points.” Thea repeated with a smile.

“…Okay! I can definitely do it. It’s just 30 points! At worst… at worst I won’t sleep!” Daisy said, while carefully observing Thea’s expression, hoping to find a loophole.

Thea saw through her little scheme, "Whether you don't eat or sleep, you have to get 30 points!"

Daisy was utterly disappointed, turning from a vibrant little sun into a wilted little cabbage.

When Thea escorted Daisy back to her dormitory and returned to the Slytherin common room, it was almost 9 o'clock.

Instead of washing up and resting immediately, Thea sat down at the table and began to review the study progress of each member of the study group that Daphne and the others had compiled.

Thea felt a sense of pride as she watched herself go from not knowing where to start with different types of handwriting to becoming quite adept at it.

"Look! These are all cabbages I've grown!"

Thea carefully reviewed the documents, and when she looked up to drink water, she saw the Quirky ornament on the table.

Quidditch?

Should we participate in the selection process?

Riding on a broom is actually not a bad feeling.

Thea slowly considered this decision:

First, there's the issue of time.

Slytherin Quidditch's training usually focuses on two evenings, either on weekends or weekdays, and the training load isn't too heavy except during matches.

Judging from my current class schedule, I can still squeeze in some time to participate.

Secondly, there's the type of Quidditch player.

Thea immediately ruled out the Seeker position. Putting everything else aside, given Draco's personality, the opponent would definitely be determined to get the Seeker position.

It is not a wise choice to have a falling out with Draco over a recreational sport.

Moreover, judging from the videos from her previous life, Draco's skill level was actually similar to Harry's, but Thea was not confident that she could surpass Harry's Seeking the Ball talent.

Rather than that, it would be better to let Draco deal with Harry; at least that would increase the chances of winning compared to having Thea play.

Secondly, there is the batter position. The batter is responsible not only for dealing with the two wandering balls to prevent them from injuring teammates, but also for hitting them at opposing players to create interference.

Thea felt she might not be up to the task.

Therefore, Thea's choice is: Chaser! Her main responsibility is to throw the Quaffle, getting it through the opponent's ring to score!

In her previous life, Thea had read about Quidditch online.

She only remembered one sentence: "Quidditch's format is actually quite interesting, especially the rule that the Seeker gets 150 points when they catch the Golden Snitch, and the game ends there."

Some say the Seeker's position is like Dumbledore of the Order of the Phoenix and Voldemort, the leader of the Death Eaters.

As long as they are powerful enough, they have countless opportunities to turn the tide.

Because a 150-point difference is so large, there has almost never been a case in history where the winner did not catch the Golden Snitch.

Thea doesn't currently have the ability to catch the Golden Snitch, but she's still unwilling to give up and always wants to try her best.

Who knows, it might actually work?
