Hogwarts: Starting as a Serpent Demon

It's clear that she genuinely loves books.

Hermione stood next to Vittor, unsure whether to leave or stay, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Mrs. Pince did not speak for too long.

After explaining the basic rules, the two were allowed to move around freely. Witt borrowed a book and found a well-lit spot to sit down.

Hermione hurriedly grabbed a book, registered, and left quickly.

Mrs. Pince frowned at Hermione's hurried pace, worried that the book Hermione had borrowed might be damaged.

Slytherin students don't have classes on Monday mornings, so most of them sleep in late.

The freshmen, especially those who were so excited about starting school yesterday that they couldn't sleep, woke up even later.

Draco was no exception; he dawdled until 10 o'clock before finishing his washing up.

Then he had to wait for Gore and Crabbe to get up, which took another half hour.

"What? Witt isn't in the dorm?"

Draco looked a little unhappy. A good underling should be ready to serve at any time, just like Goyle and Crabbe.

However, considering the opponent is very strong.

Draco decided to give Witt some face and went to see him in person.

More than an hour later, the three of them asked around and finally found Werther reading a book in the library.

It was already close to noon.

Gryffindor biography

Draco: ?

You're a Slytherin, reading Gryffindor biographies on the first day of school—you're neglecting your studies.

Draco decisively stepped forward and slammed his hand down on the book.

"What are you doing."

Before Witt could speak, Mrs. Pince's stern voice had already reached Draco's ears.

"go out."

Seeing Draco destroy books as soon as he entered, Mrs. Pince unceremoniously kicked Draco out.

Draco was not given any chance to explain at all.

No explanation is needed.

What she saw with her own eyes, how could it be false?

"terribly sorry."

Witt carefully straightened the bent book and approached Mrs. Pince, saying sincerely, "My friend was a bit rude, and I hope you can forgive him."

Mrs. Pince's anger subsided somewhat, and she said coldly, "If there is a next time, I will definitely deduct a point from Slytherin."

As the librarian at Hogwarts, she has the authority to deduct points.

Punish some naughty and unruly children.

Leaving the library, Witt walked up to Draco and asked with a hint of helplessness, "What's wrong?"

Spoiled by his parents since childhood, Draco is completely self-centered and is seen by Witt as a walking troublemaker.

Witt had no interest in helping Lucius discipline the children. He would put up with it for a few days and once Snape's matter was resolved, he would kick this troublesome brat to the curb.

Let him go and have his love-hate relationship with Harry.

Draco, oblivious to Witt's gaze, was delighted by Witt's tact and leaned closer to whisper to him, "We're going to find Harry Potter."

“My father told me that Harry Potter would be the next Dark Lord, and that he should work with us to maintain the honor of pure blood. I can’t let him be corrupted by the Weasley idiots.”

Chapter 15: Conflict Occurs on the First Day of School

Going astray?

Witt glanced at Draco, wanting to ask, "Are you sober now?"

But after thinking about it, Witt decided not to ask. If Draco were lucid, he wouldn't be Draco.

He was also hungry, so he decided to go to the cafeteria for a meal.

On the way to the Great Hall, a green figure swam into Witt's wizard robes.

"Master, the mission is complete."

Upon hearing this, Witt opened the game, where a bright blue achievement chest awaited him.

"here you go."

Witt happily patted the snake demon's head.

While the achievement of hunting magical creatures is not sustainable, it's still fine for acquiring some treasure chests in the early stages.

Moreover, the Serpent Demon killed most of the eight-eyed giant spiders.

Witt felt no psychological burden whatsoever at killing this thing.

If the Serpent Demon hadn't been limited in strength, Witt would have even wanted to kill all the Eight-Eyed Giant Spiders.

At this stage, the Snake Demon only dares to attack the eight-eyed giant spider, which is about the size of a rat. It doesn't dare to attack any larger eight-eyed giant spiders, not because it can't win, but because it's afraid of making a scene.

This attracted a swarm of eight-eyed giant spiders that attacked him.

"You said you killed a lot of tiny eight-eyed giant spiders, at least a hundred?"

Witt glanced at the achievements screen, where the hunting proficiency score was only thirteen.

It seems that those particularly small eight-eyed giant spiders don't count.

"Next time, you don't need to specifically hunt those young spiders, and be more careful."

Based on the number of Eight-Eyed Giant Spiders, Witt can still farm at least a few dozen more blue treasure chests.

But he still decided to stop once he had completed three rounds.

The eight-eyed giant spider is no less intelligent than humans. Hunting the eight-eyed giant spider one after another will definitely be noticed by the other party. If the Snake Demon falls into an ambush and is injured or killed.

That would be a loss rather than a gain.

At this stage, it's safer to focus on completing the Academy Cup tasks.

At noon, most students were having lunch in the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

Harry was among them, currently struggling with a chicken leg.

"Harry Potter."

Draco walked over with an arrogant look on his face and said in a tone of disappointment, "It's only been a day, and you've already picked up the Weasleys's shabby air."

"My name is Malfoy, Draco Malfoy."

“These are Gore, Crabbe, and Witt.”

“You can definitely tell that some wizarding families are much better off than others, Potter. You shouldn’t be hanging out with some oddballs.”

"Come on, I can help you."

Draco extended a friendly hand to Harry.

But Harry only saw a chubby figure behind him, which quickly overlapped with Draco's.

Recalling what he had seen at Madam Malkin's Robe Shop, Harry coldly rejected Draco.

"I think I can tell who's different."

Draco's face flushed red. Harry had humiliated him in front of so many people, making him lose all face.

“You ungrateful wretch, Potter, do you want to end up like your parents?”

The voice just fell.

In an instant, George, Fred, Percy, and a whole bunch of Gryffindor students stood up, forming a circle around Draco and staring at him menacingly.

"Apologize."

Fred said coldly.

The fierce gazes around him made Draco momentarily flustered, but he remained stubbornly defiant.

"I am stating the facts."

Faced with Draco's unrepentant attitude, Fred drew his wand, feeling it necessary to teach this guy who had insulted Harry's parents a lesson.

Pointing several wands at him, Draco's flushed face suddenly turned pale, and he instinctively began to back away, shielding Goyle and Crabbe in front of him.

But to his surprise, Gore and Crabbe retreated even faster than he had.

Two useless bastards.

Draco cursed inwardly and placed his last hope on Witt.

"If I were you, I wouldn't have done it."

Witt stepped forward and stood in front of Draco, his tone perfectly calm, as if those surrounding him were not a pack of Gryffindor lions, but merely a flock of sheep.

"Then we'll have to give it a try..."

George and Fred refused to accept the threat. They raised their wands at the same time, but as they swung them down, they were shocked to find that they could no longer move their bodies.

The other Gryffindor students around them were completely oblivious to the problem and were all waiting to see what would happen.

Percy was the first to notice something was wrong and tried to draw his wand, but Victor grabbed it tightly with one hand.

He couldn't move no matter how hard he tried.

Upon seeing this, Draco immediately jumped out excitedly.

Those who were preparing to mock Gryffindor mercilessly.

He had barely opened his mouth when Witt used magic to physically silence him.

Shut up! Do you really think I can take on the entire college by myself? You won't stop until you end up in the school hospital, will you?
