Chapter 45 44. Indifference and Enthusiasm

This Potions class ended with eleven points deducted from Gryffindor and two students were injured.

Early the next morning, Harry finally plucked up the courage to come to the long table in Slytherin, and excitedly told Lin An how surprised he was when he received an invitation from Hagrid yesterday, how clingy Black Dog Yaya was, how slobbering he was. smelly...

Finally, he gave Lin An two rock cakes:
"It was so hard it nearly broke my teeth, but Hagrid loved it." And highly recommends it.

On the long Slytherin table, people kept looking at him, with neither good nor bad eyes.

Harry felt a little uncomfortable.

Draco, who was sitting beside Lin'an, snorted coldly, staring at the two rock cakes with a contemptuous expression——

"Draco."

Lin An put down the spoon.

She had bacon soup, green salad, and parsley mashed potatoes this morning, which was fine.

So much so that her voice at the moment was gentle: "Can you take everyone to the classroom first?"

Draco's words came to an abrupt end.

Afterwards, he stood up with some rude movements (the stool moved and made a sound), but he still led the freshmen away in silence.

Ron watched from the side, muttering: "It's like a ruthless army, dictatorship."

Then, he disappeared under Lin An's nose.

Harry didn't notice this, and when he left, he could only breathe a sigh of relief, then sat excitedly on a chair beside him, and vividly described to Lin An a piece of the Daily Prophet that he found on Hagrid's desk yesterday.

It told about the break-in at Gringotts.

He said with a trace of mystery: "Lin an, I may have forgotten to tell you that the day Hagrid and I went to Diagon Alley, he took something from Gringotts..."

Lin An knew that this was about the Sorcerer's Stone.

But she didn't comment on the matter, she just quietly listened to Harry's analysis, then put down her fork, and asked:
"Harry, do you have any friends in Gryffindor?"

Then, he looked at Ron again: "I know Ron is. You are always inseparable."

Harry hesitated for a moment: "Oh, and maybe Hermione, you know, she knows so much..."

"Is there no one else?"

"No." Harry didn't understand why she brought it up, and he still focused on Gringotts at the moment:

"That Gringotts thing..."

"Harry."

Lin An interrupted him: "I remember you and Neville are in the same dormitory."

That poor silly boy, Lin An just asked a few gentle words, and he said everything.

Including his grandma's strict control over him, and because he was suspected of being a squib when he was a child, so that he was thrown into the lake by his uncle...

Just a little stuttering.

He even apologized earnestly for not putting away his notes properly.

But when he was lying in the infirmary, crying because of the severe pain all over his body, there was no one around him to accompany him.

Except Lin An.

Even Simo, who was injured with him, left quickly after drinking the potion because of his minor injuries

And Neville's feet were really corroded, and a lot of potion was splashed on his face, so after drinking the potion, he spent the night in the infirmary, quietly waiting for the wound to grow.

"After class that day, I was the one who accompanied Neville to the infirmary. He couldn't get up or walk at night, and the Slytherin students went to deliver the meals."

"This morning, I noticed that he came to the Gryffindor table alone to eat first."

"Harry, it's been a few days since school started, and you two met on the train. But do you hate him so much? So much so that I didn't hear a single word of greeting from you."

Harry blushed instantly.

He pushed his glasses helplessly, and then stammered, "I... sorry, I... I didn't expect it. But the potion is very effective, isn't it? Hearing from Seamus at night, his injury healed immediately. "

But as he spoke, he also slowly stopped.

Lin An's eyes looked at him intently, with a gentle expression and a gentle tone.

"Harry, I know that the wizarding world is very interesting, and it keeps you exploring and novelty every day."

"But it was the three pennies enclosed with your letter that first struck me."

"Hogwarts say that Slytherin students are the coldest and unscrupulous."

"Then, can your enthusiasm really warm the people around you?"

The silver fork made a slight "click" when it touched the plate, and Lin An stood up.

Harry suddenly realized that her expression was also stained with a little Slytherin's coldness.

　Looking through the original book, all I know is that Neville was crying in pain and was immediately sent to the infirmary.

　　Nothing else.
