who moved my coffin

Cyrus stared at the ceiling, secretly counted the number of stars, and looked for the familiar Orion. He was not affected by the noise around him at all. He knew that this was the effect of magic, but the position of the starry sky was exactly the same as reality.

"Lily Evans"

"Gryffindor"

"Wow, Lily - come here!"

Cheerful shouts came from the long golden-red table.

Professor McGonagall went on to read the name of the next child to be sorted.

"Severus Snape"

"Slytherin"

……

"Sirius Black"

……

Then, there seemed to be a commotion in the hall for a while, and soon, after everyone digested the horrifying fact that "Siris Black" was sorted into Gryffindor, amidst the noise that no one paid attention to, McGonagall The professor read Cyrus' name.

"Cyrus Ilrachat"

Cyrus withdrew his wandering thoughts, lowered his head, walked to the stage with a calm expression, and sat down quietly. The sorting hat quickly covered his head, and it took less than two seconds——

"Slytherin"

Standing up, taking off his hat, he nodded slightly, and quietly walked towards the long silver-green Slytherin table.

The people sitting in the front half of the Slytherin table frowned. The surname Irrajat was very unfamiliar. After recalling the roster of pure-blood families, it seemed that a senior remembered that there was indeed a fallen nobleman starting with Y. Irrajat's surname, he quietly whispered to his companions around him, and then the Slytherins present nodded with understanding expressions.

No one paid attention, Cyrus calmly walked to the back seat of the long table, he didn't seem to see Severus Snape who was sitting at the end, and sat down at the fourth from the bottom seat.

After food appeared on the long table, Cyrus glanced dully over the long table inadvertently, and landed on the Ravenclaw table not far away. The rich food blocked his sight, but it couldn't stop him His penetrating mind.

On the Ravenclaw table, a tall third-year boy wearing glasses was excitedly talking to his classmates about what he saw during the vacation: "Egypt is a beautiful place. I saw the Skephons, although they can't be touched in the protected area." touch them, but I picked up a few feathers as souvenirs."

"I'm so happy, Charles, what else, show us quickly." Ravenclaw next to him looked enviously at Charles's huge feathers.

"Hey, did you see this? It's an amulet. I heard that it was just unearthed. In order to open the tomb, the Egyptian Department of Mysteries spent at least half a month to break the curse..." Charles triumphantly took it out and hung it around his neck. The gold beetle pendant on the table made the companion sigh again.

In the distance, on the Slytherin table, Cyrus' pupils constricted suddenly, and he slowly raised his head to look at Charles' face, as if evaluating something, then lowered his head again, slowly eating the food on the plate.

No one noticed that a cruel golden-green light flashed in the eyes of Cyrus who lowered his head.

—————I am the helpless dividing line———

In the cellar of Slytherin, the chiefs of the fourth to seventh grades slowly watched the freshmen, showing a slight look of contempt after their eyes passed over Severus Snape who was alone in the corner, and then, the sixth grades Evlos Sistaro, the head of the school, came out slowly, and nodded to the head of the fourth year, Lucius Malfoy.

Lucius Malfoy stood behind Evros, and expressed to the present Slytherins the status of the real controller and successor controller in the chief group.

"I am Evlos Sistaro, the head of the sixth grade. First of all, I would like to welcome all the freshmen entering Slytherin. Here, I don't need to say much about the nobility and power of Slytherin. In the next seven years, You will deeply understand the superiority and unity of Slytherin yourself, and of course, if you discredit Slytherin, you will also experience pain and remorse." Evros's voice was not too loud, just enough to make everyone I heard, "Family background is a kind of resource, and status determines status, but if you don't have the strength, just watch your eyes and mouth, and don't let your overreaching become your laughing stock, do you hear me clearly?"

The freshmen nodded cautiously, looking at Evros with fear in their eyes.

After a stern glance, Evros took a step back slowly.

Lucius Malfoy stepped forward slightly, showing a proud smile, and said in a slow and gentle tone, "Fourth grade chief Lucius Malfoy, I'm glad you're here, next, please newcomers Attention, juniors and juniors, although most people know that the head of Slytherin challenges the tradition of the night, but I want to remind everyone again, today, one month later, please do what you can, the Slytherin rules are on the wall Go up, keep in mind the teachings of your ancestors, it will save you a lot of detours."

Severus Snape looked up and looked around at those peers who looked tense, knowing that he was undoubtedly one of the few people who did not know the Slytherin tradition, but from what Lucius Malfoy revealed, he Can also guess the content of the so-called "Chief Challenge Night", Snape's eyes darkened, he seemed to be able to foresee his miserable life for quite a long time.

Cyrus was wandering absent-mindedly. The consciousness he had split earlier had dissipated. Hogwarts' protection was very strong, and each house had its own unique protection. When his consciousness followed Charles and came to Ravenclaw to rest When it is in front of the room door, it is offset by the protection outside the door.

Cyrus slowly followed the lead of the second-year senior to his dormitory door, and was somewhat surprised to see that he and Severus Snape were assigned together.

When the senior left, he seemed to give Cyrus a sympathetic look. The freshmen were unwilling to live with a half-breed, and they more or less greeted the senior in advance. In contrast, Cyrus, who had been silent all the time It seems to be the best way to dismiss it. Of course, it does not rule out that Cyrus' family has declined, and he did not dare to ask the seniors without authorization. From this point of view, he is indeed a self-aware Slytherin who knows his own position.

However, sympathy is sympathy, Slytherin is not a place to give sympathy, if Cyrus behaves worse than that half-blood, I believe his situation will be worse than Snape, because he lost the face of a pure-blood.

—————I am the helpless dividing line———

After closing the door, Cyrus ignored Severus who was already standing in the middle of the bedroom, and found the bed near the door and climbed on it. Before lowering the bed curtain, Cyrus said coldly, "Don't bother me!"

Severus curled his fists hidden in his wide sleeves, a trace of shame and anger flashed in his eyes, he silently picked up his small bundle from the ground, walked to another bed and began to tidy it up. And the excitement had been completely dissipated by the indifference in Slytherin House.
