After the sorting ceremony, Principal Dippet did not give any long speech. Instead, he stood up and said loudly: "Welcome! Let's eat!"
Such a clear and concise speech received thunderous applause from everyone.
The dinner for the opening ceremony looked very sumptuous. But after tasting it, Robert still felt a little disappointed. The cooking skills of the Hogwarts house-elves are actually quite good, but it's a pity that their recipes are a bit lame…
Everyone ate and talked, and soon they were full. Principal Dippet was as straightforward as ever. After the tableware on the long table became as clean as new again, he announced again in a crisp and clear voice, "Dismiss! Go back and rest! Follow your respective prefects and don't go the wrong way."
Livid and the dazed Tom followed the group of Slytherin students forward. Soon, they found themselves heading underground into the castle. A few minutes later, the freshmen followed the class leader to a stone wall with a snake statue carved on it.
"Pureblood!" said the male prefect as he approached the stone wall. The two snake statues on the stone wall immediately came to life. As the snake-like statue swam to the side, the stone wall suddenly split apart, revealing a door...
"Everyone remember, this week's password is 'pure blood'. Don't forget it. If you forget it, you won't be able to come in."
Pure blood? Hearing this slogan, Robert felt that he was indeed worthy of being a Slytherin. People from Slytherin always have a special obsession with power.
So, after entering the common room, the arrogant male class leader gave a half-hour speech to the freshmen... It was not until many freshmen were so tired that they almost fell asleep while standing that he waved his hand contentedly and told the freshmen to find their own rooms to rest. Then he walked slowly towards his dormitory.
"Tsk... this guy's speech was longer than the principal's, and it didn't have any substance at all," Annie said impatiently. She was very unhappy with the prefect for delaying her rest time.
"Well, we should go find our room. See you tomorrow..." After saying good night to each other, they parted ways. Annie walked towards the girls' dormitory, while Robert and the others walked towards the boys' dormitory.
Soon, Robert found his dormitory. The dormitory is a hexagonal room with four beds placed against the wall, each with a wardrobe and bedside table. In the middle of the dormitory, there is a large round table, which seems to be just enough space for four people to do their homework at the same time.
Their luggage had been moved to the foot of the bed. Fortunately, Robert and Tom were assigned to the same dormitory. In addition to Robert and Tom, the other two roommates were Alphard Blake and a boy named Henry Avery.
As soon as Alphard found his bed, he lay down on it directly. Without even taking off his coat, he fell into a deep sleep. I don't know why, but he looks particularly tired.
"Ha! You are the famous little prince of Azkaban! I didn't expect that I would be in the same dormitory with you! My name is Henry Avery." After seeing Tom, Henry excitedly stretched out his right hand.
When Tom heard the title of Prince of Azkaban, he gave Henry a death stare and had no intention of shaking hands with him at all. Robert stretched out his hand and shook hands with Henry, saving Henry from the embarrassing situation.
"I am a friend of the little prince of Azkaban. My name is Levitra. Oh, by the way, his name is..." Henry smiled and said, "I know, his name is Tom Riddle! There are probably not many people and ghosts in the school who don't know his name."
Tom's face turned green when he heard the conversation between Henry and Robert. I had finally forgotten about the social death experience, but now that these two bastards had brought it up, I remembered it all!
"I'm going to sleep!" Tom turned around and fell on his bed, then pulled the quilt over himself. Robert and Henry watched silently as Tom gradually shrank into a ball under the quilt...
"Well, I think I understand the feeling... I have to say, it was not very pleasant, um... very embarrassing." Henry shrugged, "I was only eight years old at the time, and my mother caught me peeping at my sister taking a bath..."
Robert looked at Henry in shock. There is actually a master?
...
The night deepens. However, Slytherin's dormitory is right at the bottom of the Black Lake. Therefore, through the window, Robert could only see the fish swimming at the bottom of the lake, but could not see the moonlight in the sky.
However, the scenery at the bottom of the Black Lake is still quite interesting. After Robert admired the scenery at the bottom of the lake for a while, he pulled the quilt over and lay down.
After sitting on the train for a whole day, he felt a little tired. Moreover, he was not very familiar with the way to Hogwarts Castle. Therefore, he did not plan to go out for a night walk tonight to look for his senior's notebook.
Before entering the dream to find his senior, Robert took a look at the system interface. He planned to follow the routine and see if there are any good things updated tonight.
"Ding! It is detected that the host has accumulated a certain amount of merit points. The system upgrade function has been triggered. The host can now upgrade the system at any time."
"Ding! System upgrades require 20,000 merit points. By then, the number of items in the mall will increase to four, and the chance of refreshing high-quality items will be greatly increased."
Robert suddenly became energetic. After the system upgrade, the store that originally only refreshed two items a day can now refresh four items. The most important thing is that the probability of high-quality items appearing can be greatly increased!
This makes Robert simply unable to refuse! You know, he has been enduring those junk materials in the mall for a long time!
However, the requirement of 20,000 merit points is indeed a bit too high. In addition to the 5,000 merit points rewarded by Nagini, Robert now has saved some more. There are probably only about 6,000 merit points, which is not enough for upgrading.
However, Robert was not in a hurry. Now, he has infiltrated the base camp of future Death Eaters. If you want to gain merit points, there will be plenty of opportunities later!
Robert happily turned over in bed, and without even looking at the refreshed products, he went to find his senior to continue studying...
