Chapter 32 Everyone here is trash
"George, long time no see!"
As soon as he reached the first floor, George heard a shout from above. He turned around and saw that it was Harry, Hermione and Ron coming down the marble stairs.
"Good morning, Harry, Hermione, and this one?"
"Hello, my name is Ron. I heard Harry said that you helped him escape from Knockturn Alley last time. That's so cool!"
Ron's tone was a little excited.
That was the famous Knockturn Alley, a place where his two twin brothers dreamed of exploring.
"You and Harry are not as cool as you, flying from London to school in a magic car, appearing in the Daily Prophet, and crashing the school's Whomping Willow."
Hermione on the side sneered a little bit sarcastically.
Ron's face suddenly stiffened when he heard this:
"Okay, can you stop giving us lessons? We don't want that either."
He discovered that Hermione was really a smaller version of Professor McGonagall sometimes. She always said she liked to tell them some great truths, but in fact sometimes she was braver than them.
Harry took a step forward, avoiding the quarrel between Ron and Hermione, and asked George:
"We didn't see the sorting ceremony yesterday. Which academy did you sort to?"
"Slytherin."
George took out the Slytherin symbol from his pocket that was distributed yesterday and had not yet been pinned to his chest.
Harry immediately showed a look of regret when he saw this.
"It would be nice if you could be in Gryffindor."
In his heart, he was still somewhat prejudiced against Slytherin, especially since Slytherin had those annoying guys like Malfoy, and the dean was Snape, whom he hated the most.
George smiled:
"It doesn't matter which college you choose. As long as you go to Hogwarts, I'll be satisfied."
"Good morning, George!"
At this time, another call came from above. This time it was Ginny, Colin and Luna coming down the marble stairs.
"Do you know each other?"
Harry and Ron were stunned when they saw Ginny greeting George.
"Yesterday we sat in a box on the train, and George took good care of us."
When Ginny saw Harry's presence, her voice immediately became much softer and her movements became more ladylike.
"Thank you for looking after Ginny."
Ron, who had changed his attitude when he heard that George was assigned to Slytherin, regained his opinion of George and even expressed his gratitude.
Compared to Harry, he actually had a deeper prejudice against Slytherin. Before coming to Hogwarts, he once believed that all bad wizards came from Slytherin.
"Well, could you please take a photo of me and Mr. Harry Potter?"
Colin handed the camera to Ron and looked at Harry with bright eyes:
"My name is Colin. I want to take a photo with you and send it to my dad to prove that I saw you. He is a milkman and there is no one in our family except me."
Ron took the camera helplessly. When he first met Harry, he didn't behave much better than this one, which is understandable.
After taking pictures, several people walked and chatted until they arrived at the auditorium.
At this time, many little wizards were already having breakfast in the great hall, and the four long tables were piled with various foods prepared by the house elves, such as pumpkin porridge, pickled herring, bread, eggs, fresh meat, etc.
Different houses rarely sit together for breakfast, so George went to the Slytherin table, Luna went to the Ravenclaw table, and Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Colin went to the Glen Findo long table.
"First year, you seem to know Harry Potter and the others?"
As soon as George sat down, the blond Malfoy took his two followers, Goyle and Crabbe, and sat opposite him.
Because of Pansy's teasing yesterday, he had an impression of George. He just saw George chatting happily with Harry, whom he hated the most, and he suddenly felt unhappy.
"Called friends."
George took a bowl of pumpkin porridge and a pile of fresh meat and replied casually.
Being close to Harry would inevitably offend Malfoy, which he had known for a long time. In fact, even if he wasn't close to Harry, he would still offend Malfoy.
Because he wants to become the best student in the entire Hogwarts and even join the Quidditch team, which will definitely steal Malfoy's limelight.
But it doesn't matter. Little Malfoy is not his father, Big Malfoy, so he poses no threat to him.
"Friends? Slytherin and Gryffindor are enemies and can never become friends. You'd better stay away from them, otherwise I will teach you how to become a Slytherin wizard!"
Malfoy was obviously dissatisfied with George's attitude, and his tone was full of warning.
George replied calmly:
"I am free to make friends with whom I choose, you should take care of yourself.
I heard that the first place in last year's final exam was Miss Hermione from Gryffindor. We, Slytherin, also lost to Gryffindor in the House Cup that we had maintained for six years. You guys are really useless. "
When he said the last sentence, he deliberately raised his voice so much that even the little wizards at other tables looked over.
"What are you talking about? You actually called me trash. What qualifications do you, a half-blood, have to call me trash?"
When Malfoy heard George's words, he went crazy and slapped the table hard, causing the mountain of bread on the table to collapse.
George put down the spoon in his hand and looked up at Malfoy:
"As far as I know, our Slytherin dean is also of mixed race. Are you discriminating against our dean?"
"The dean of the hospital is naturally different from you. I'm just talking about you."
Malfoy's tone immediately weakened.
It is normal for pure-bloods to discriminate against half-bloods, but this kind of thing cannot be said openly, because there are many half-bloods in the senior grades of Slytherin, and the dean is also a half-blood.
He was also confused just now.
"You are a small first-year student, but you are so arrogant. We Slytherins compete on strength, not eloquence."
At this time, Pansy, who was sitting on the second-year side, came over.
Although she teased Malfoy yesterday, it did not mean that she did not stand on Malfoy's side. The Malfoy family is a well-known family among pure-bloods. In the future, she may marry Malfoy and make her family more prosperous.
So when she saw Malfoy being humiliated, she naturally came up to help.
"This lady is right. The excellence of our Slytherins is based on strength, so I am not targeting him. I am saying that everyone here, your entire second year, is trash!"
George wiped his mouth gracefully and stood up, speaking loudly in a tone that stunned countless young wizards.
"If you weren't trash, how could you let the six-year-old House Cup end here?
I, George, will put it here today. As long as I am here, the first place will always belong to us Slytherin, and I will win the House Cup back from Gryffindor.
But I am different from you trash. I will not be hostile to students from other houses because of this healthy competition.
Competition is competition, and friends are friends, whether it is Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, or Hufflepuff.
I will make friends that I should make. I will use my strength to win honor for Slytherin. This is the demeanor that we Slytherins should have."
