"Is this really the case?" Astoria asked in surprise, "Then... can you help me find him? I really want to know what kind of problem he encountered!"

"Yes, yes, but we need you to cooperate with us a little bit." Harry nodded, "Actually, your father's ghost is hiding in the walls of this room, but for some reason, he has been refusing to accept it." Show up. That's why we need your help to lure him out."

"Father... is he around?" Astoria looked around eagerly, but couldn't feel any trace of the ghost at all, and finally could only helplessly suppress the anxiety in his heart.

She sat down again, adjusted her emotions and looked at Harry: "Excuse me, what do you need me to do?"

"You just need to follow us to the Forbidden Forest, and then don't talk the whole time."

"Just like this?"

Astoria was taken aback when she heard this, at first she thought it would be something difficult, but she never thought it would be so simple.

As for the place to go to, the Forbidden Forest that everyone on campus is talking about?

Come on, she has heard a lot of gossip. For Harry Granger in front of him, the Forbidden Forest should be similar to his own back garden.

"As long as that's it, if you have no other questions, we can start now." Harry nodded for confirmation, and at the same time gave a serious order, "Before I leave, I must remind you again...Once this door is opened, No matter what happens, you are absolutely not allowed to speak!"

"No problem!" Astoria hurriedly nodded and got up, even covering her mouth tightly with her hand, looking like she was keeping her mouth shut.

Her performance like this made everyone in the room smile a little more, feeling that this cute little girl is really likable.

Everything in communication with Astoria went smoothly, and the group was about to leave for the Forbidden Forest immediately. However, when the classroom door reopened, Harry and the others were stopped by a group of uninvited guests.

Headed by Malfoy's female sidekick of three years, Pansy Parkinson, and Astoria's older sister, Daphne Greengrass.

After them were Malfoy's two male henchmen, Crabbe and Goyle, who should have been brought in to support the scene.

Another boy, Theodore Nott, second only to Malfoy in Slytherin third-year boys, might have come to preside over the situation.

The last two remaining girls seem to be in the first year of Slytherin. Harry is not familiar with them, but Will has taken classes with them... These two seem to be Astoria's 'good' friends , the kind that is always inseparable from her.

"Hmm..." Seeing the menacing Snake Court lineup at the door, Astoria subconsciously opened her mouth to call out, but Will grabbed her with quick eyesight and quick hands.

Harry's instructions were always absolute. Since he said he was not allowed to speak after opening the door, Astoria couldn't even say a particle of mood!

And this smart girl obviously figured this out, her complexion changed several times, and she kept borrowing, but in the end she gave her sister an apologetic and helpless look, without saying anything.

"Leah! Well, the two of them didn't lie to me...you actually hang out with these guys?!"

Unfortunately, her older sister Daphne only paid attention to Harry and the others in the house, and Will and Astoria's 'too close' behavior, so she turned a blind eye to the struggle on her younger sister's face.

"Daphne, I have warned you to keep an eye on your sister." Pansy on the side also ignited harshly, "Look at her now, she has been with those...Muggle-born guys for a long time, she The smell on your body has become cheap! If Draco finds out what happened today after the confinement is over, he will definitely be angry!"

Pansy Parkinson, who is not very good-looking and has a bad personality, is definitely synonymous with meanness, but even so, she dare not say the word 'Mudblood' in front of Harry and others... because that would absolutely It will immediately get out of control.

"You don't need to talk about this matter!" Daphne glared at her sister who seemed to be unworthy at all, and then turned her head to look at the leading boy, "Theodore, today's matter, you see How to deal with it?"

"Heh... I find you Slytherins really interesting. My sister has to be friends with someone, and I have to find an outsider to judge." Before Theodore could speak, Hermione spoke first. He sneered disdainfully for a while, "And... are you really sure that you are in charge of today's affairs?"

"Daphne is Astoria's sister. She invited me to help bring her sister back." Theodore Nott thought about it, and said in a deep voice, "We're here to pick up the students from our college. this matter…"

"Theodore Knott, have you forgotten about the first grade?" Suddenly, Harry, who had been silent all this time, spoke indifferently, "I'll count to three and take people away from me, or you will bear the consequences .”

"Granger, you..."

"One." Theodore seemed to want to argue, but Harry's countdown blocked his words directly.

"Damn it... let's go!" Before Harry could continue the countdown, he hurriedly turned around and left, not forgetting to tug Crabbe and Goyle beside him.

So, after a meaningless confrontation, only Daphne was left in the corridor, and even Pansy and the two first-year girls from the Snake Academy left in a panic.

"Hehe, Slytherin's friendship, I have seen it today."

Looking at a large corridor that was vacant in an instant, Harry's expression was as mocking as he wanted~

Chapter 370 Someone is completely unqualified to be a sister

"You...Pansy Parkinson, Theodore Knott! You just left?!"

At this moment, Daphne was quite distraught, she never expected that the reinforcements she had invited to help to discuss the explanation would turn around and run away because of a single threat from the other party!

"What's so unexpected about this~" Hermione shook her head disdainfully, "It's not that they haven't been beaten before, and staying here is just adding to Madam Pomfrey's workload for nothing."

"But they ran fast enough, and they didn't even make it past 2." Colin on the side also complained a little, and the group of Slytherins really fully interpreted the attitude of being wise and protecting themselves.

"He has to go," Luna interjected lightly at this time, "Harry can't count to two."

Luna is a sensible person, Harry... It should be said that the Granger siblings are all like this, they always count by jumping.

If there is no response after shouting 1, then you can start directly, who will continue to count down with you.

"Leah... Let me ask you, do you still have my sister in your eyes? Do you want to leave with me?!"

Realizing that all the helpers she hired, the combat power added up to about zero, so Daphne had no choice but to go into battle herself in the end.

She pointed the signs at Astoria, and even threatened her sister relationship, and she must make her sister draw a clear line from Harry and others.

"..." It's just that Astoria agreed to Harry's ban first, and she was really not sure whether Harry would continue to help if she regretted speaking halfway through.

So, she could only helplessly shake her head, and at the same time looked at her sister with pleading eyes, hoping that the other party could understand her.

"Leah?!" However, Daphne didn't notice this at all, and was furious because she was disobeyed by her sister.

Ever since she was a child, this little sister of hers has never violated her will... not even once!

But since her father left, especially in the recent period, she seems to have completely changed. Not only is she less and less willing to associate with people in the same courtyard, she even had a close relationship with a dirty mudblood!

If it wasn't for the secret reminders from the first-year girls around her, she wouldn't even know it, but she would still be in private contact with Harry Granger and the others!

Take a good look at this group of people, two self-deprecating guys, with three annoying Mudbloods... Leah is simply embarrassing the family by mixing with such people!

"Leah...you really let me down! How long has my father been gone, have you forgotten all his previous teachings?" Daphne pointed at Astoria's nose angrily. At this moment, the pretty face looked abnormally distorted, "You are like this... you don't deserve to be called a Slytherin at all, and you don't even deserve the surname Greengrass!"

"..." Hearing her sister's accusation, Astoria's whole body trembled, and tears filled her eyes.

At this moment, how much she wants to tell her sister that things are not what the other party thinks, but she can't speak, and she can't explain her difficulties at all.

All she did was to find clues to her father's existence. Why couldn't my sister calm down and wait for me to explain to her afterwards?

And... why did she send someone to watch her?

Just because I didn't hang out with people from the same college often, because I made some friends that she didn't agree with? !

The more Astoria thought about it, the more wronged she became, and even began to feel a little bit of despair, but when her vision was completely blurred, someone stood in front of her actively.

It's Will!

"I don't think you deserve it!" Will completely cut off Daphne's accusing gaze, and his tone was even more decisive, "You don't deserve to be Astoria's sister at all! You don't understand her difficulties at all, let alone understand The fear she has experienced... As a sister, this is simply a complete dereliction of duty!"

"What's more, not only do you not understand her, but you have been condescendingly interfering in her life! Indeed... You may think that I am not qualified to be Astoria's friend, but the two so-called friends you found for her 'Friend', how good are they? They are just like those two useless servants next to Draco Malfoy, and they have to follow your orders to monitor Astoria, such guys... They are not true friends!!"

Will himself is an older brother, and he may not fully understand the kinship between the Greengrass sisters, but if he compares it with himself, he can't help feeling that Daphne is completely unqualified as an older sister.

Why... Is the so-called family glory really that important, worthy of an older sister being so harsh on her younger sister?

Besides, no matter how radiant the 'glory' of the Greengrass family is, can it compare to their own home?

When did you see me treat little Harry so hard?

"You! You... Damn it!" After being robbed by Will Hao, Daphne's chest suddenly rose and fell violently, obviously very angry.

But she was at a loss for words at the same time, because she didn't know what to say to Will other than the clichés of 'pure blood glory'...and Will obviously didn't agree with that.

Comparing the inheritance and glory with the British royal family, this is purely overthinking~

"I think, let's stop this matter." At this time, Harry called out the farce, "Greengrass, your sister came to us because she has a request for our help to investigate, and This entrustment is very important to your entire family..."

"You're talking nonsense! Outsiders don't need to take care of our family's affairs!" Daphne obviously refused to believe Harry's words.

"But you have already hired outsiders to interfere with your sister's life." Harry retorted nonchalantly, "In short, that's all I said, and it's up to you whether you believe it or not...just don't bother us again!"

"Hmm!" Shocked by Harry's aura, Daphne immediately seemed to be stared at the same place, and could only watch Harry and the others, and walked away with her sister.

...

Except for a group of embarrassing Slytherins, Harry and his party encountered no additional obstacles in their actions, and soon arrived in the Forbidden Forest smoothly.

Along the way, Astoria seemed very depressed, and even secretly wiped away tears.

Seeing her like this, Harry and the others couldn't help feeling a little more emotional.

"Harry, I really don't understand... People like us, can't we really be friends with Slytherin?" Will asked with a sigh as he handed Astoria a tissue again .

"It's not impossible, it's just difficult, and it's even more difficult under the current situation." Harry sighed softly, "You should have heard the song of the Sorting Hat, it says that you can make sincere friends in Slytherin ..."

"But what do you think is a true friend to most Slytherins?"

Chapter 370 The Nail That Has Been Surveilled Has Finally Been Pulled Out

Again, Harry has always had no prejudice against Slytherin.

One of his most trusted people, Sculpture, was born in Slytherin; and in the first year of sorting, the Sorting Hat also said that Harry himself had certain qualities suitable for Slytherin.

Smart and capable, resourceful, strong-willed, etc. and not limited to the above.

The problem is that these qualities sometimes conflict.

For example, friendship is also one of the characteristics of Slytherin, and the sorting hat has also sung... You can make sincere friends in Slytherin.

But Slytherin still has the core quality of being wise and safe, so when the so-called sincere friends encounter difficulties that cannot be solved, will Slytherin face it together with friendship, or be wise and safe?

In the final analysis, the reason for this kind of contradiction is actually to blame that old fellow Salazar for his lack of greed.

He likes to teach talented students, so he put the traits he valued into the sorting hat like a short cooking video.

Ambition, shrewdness, leadership, achievement, sizing up, and most importantly…

pure blood.

After more than 1000 years of changes, this kind of screening method that chews too much will naturally become a bit nondescript.

So, Harry couldn't say that there was anything wrong with the phrase 'sincere friends can be made in Slytherin'.

But what 'friend' means to most Slytherins is open to debate.

Rather than saying that Slytherin people are making friends, it is better to say that they are looking for a 'community of well-matched interests'.

The pure tradition that Salazar Slytherin valued has been passed down to this day and has gradually evolved into a sect opinion.

Harry and Hermione, the third graders, had already had a feud with Malfoy, Greengrass and other families. This kind of hatred, which was tantamount to fire and water, would naturally affect the younger grades in their social circle.

Therefore, as an older sister, Daphne would find someone to keep an eye on her younger sister, preventing her from getting too close to Will, a child from the enemy camp who also came from an 'ordinary' background.

Oh, by the way, the two girls from the Snake Court who usually have a good relationship with Astoria, they must not be considered friends... because they are not qualified enough to match each other.

If you want to be in the same family, you need to look at your family background and your personal ability, that's all.

So the same similar example, in fact, there is another Pansy Parkinson.

Don't look at this woman who has been by Malfoy's side for three whole years, and has recently begun to call herself Malfoy's girlfriend, but she will never enter the Malfoy family in the future, and become a so-called 'Mrs. Malfoy'.

The reason is very simple, she lacks her own abilities, and the Parkinson family's family background is not good enough, so it is impossible for her to get into the eyes of the Malfoy family.

Therefore, for a pure-blood witch like her, Malfoy can flirt, flirt, or even go to extremes in school, but they will definitely break up after graduation~

Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy would never agree to this marriage, and Daphne Greengrass might still be there...

But the premise is that Lucius can live until then~

...

All the way to the Forbidden Forest, because it was the first time Colin and Will saw Harry's tree house, they couldn't help being amazed for a while.

But when they thought about it, it was Harry who lived in the Forbidden Forest, and the two brothers were soon relieved.

After all, even if Harry went to the crater to dance, there is nothing strange~

Harry didn't build a ladder here in the tree house, so they need to find their own way to reach the terrace... Don't say they can't climb up, if a wizard with a wand can't even do such a trivial thing as climbing a tree, he even has to use ordinary People's tool ladder, so let's go back and retake the spell class of the first grade as soon as possible~

"..." After entering the room temporarily remodeled from the terrace, Astoria was a little suspicious of its rough interior environment. She frowned and looked around, always feeling that this 'room' seemed abnormal.

"You can speak now." Harry carefully arranged the barrier of silence, and then unlocked the other party's silence.

"Why did you bring me here, where is my father?" After being able to speak, Astoria hurriedly asked about his father's whereabouts.

"He has been following us before, and now he is outside the house."

Although he was responding to Astoria's words, Harry was always looking at the parchment in his hand, and a gleam of joy gradually appeared on his face.
