Chapter 19 First Year Tasks

After dinner, the Slytherin prefect led the freshmen to the basement. He pointed to a stone door in a wet stone wall and said, "This is the entrance to the lounge. The password changes every two weeks.

This week's password is: Glory."

The stone door opened and everyone entered the lounge one by one.

This is a translucent lounge located at the bottom of the lake. There is a fireplace in the room. There are sofas and coffee tables in the center and on the walls, as well as several bookshelves.

The surrounding walls are made of black marble, and the ceiling is a transparent semicircle carved from crystal. You can see the shimmering waves when you look up, and you can also see some huge octopuses or strange creatures through the windows. It is like an underwater museum.

"The boys' dormitory is on the left, and the girls' dormitory is on the right. Your suitcases have been sent to your respective dormitories.

If you have any questions, you can come to me or Dean Snape. We will not refuse to help you.

That's it. Go to bed early! You still have to go to class tomorrow morning!"

The beds in the dormitory were made long ago, which made everyone feel a lot more relaxed. After all, after a day's journey, they were indeed a little tired physically and mentally.

In this case, nothing is more attractive than falling asleep.

Aaron opened his suitcase, took out a soft and sticky little bed, carefully put Abe in it, and then covered it with a towel.

Then he changed into his pajamas and lay on the bed.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he felt boundless sleepiness, but at this time he suddenly remembered that he had not signed in today, so he opened his eyes in a hurry.

"System, sign in." Aaron said silently in his heart.

"Congratulations to the host for signing in at Hogwarts and getting 10 magic points."

"How much?" Aaron was no longer sleepy. To be honest, he had thought that the sign-in reward at Hogwarts was relatively generous, but his psychological expectation was five magic points. But who would have thought that it would double, and the efficiency was increased to five times the usual. This was really a surprise.

"The host heard it right, it was ten magic points, a two-digit number.

In addition, Hogwarts has a special meaning in this world. The first sign-in can enable the system task function.

Completing the task can get magic points and various magic props. Would the host like to turn it on?"

"Turn it on, it must be turned on." Aaron shouted in his heart with a surge of emotion. After three years, he finally saw a way to save many years of struggle. It is impossible to give up like this!

"Okay, now I will release the three system tasks of the host's first academic year."

[Help Slytherin get the college cup;

Completing the task will reward 500 magic points, and there is no penalty for failing the task. Would the host accept it? 】

"Accept!" Aaron did not hesitate. This task was nothing to him. Slytherin was a synonym for excellence in Hogwarts. It had won the College Cup for six consecutive years. Maybe he didn't have to work hard for the seventh time. He could just lie down and get the task reward.

[Get the recognition of at least three professors;

Complete the task to get 500 magic points, no penalty for mission failure. Do you accept it? 】

"Accept!" Aaron did not hesitate. The number of professors in Hogwarts was not too many, but it was definitely not too few. With his talent, it was not difficult to get the recognition of three professors.

[Kill the residual soul of Voldemort;

Complete the task to get 1000 magic points, and deduct 500 magic points for mission failure. Do you accept it? 】

"Ah..." Aaron hesitated. It was true that Voldemort was very weak now, but he was definitely not a mere intermediate magician who could deal with him. Even if he reached the level of a senior magician, he might not be his opponent, so the possibility of failure was very high.

"System, can I ask someone to help me with this mission?"

"Yes, but the host must participate and contribute more than 50%, otherwise the mission will be considered a failure."

"Okay! Accept." Aaron said firmly. As the saying goes, 'Fortune is sought in danger'. At worst, I can bring two professors with me. I don't believe that I can't deal with his residual soul.

By the way, who is Voldemort's residual soul attached to now? I remember it was a professor.

It's difficult. When choosing teammates, I have to pay attention to whether there are traitors.

The next morning.

Aaron opened his eyes. He slept very sweetly last night.

Perhaps it was because the new sign-in location gave him too much of a surprise, or perhaps it was because there was no alarm clock and no knocking on the door by Genes, so he slept until he woke up naturally.

After changing into a wizard robe, Aaron looked at the sleeping baby dragon in the basket, and after thinking about it, he picked it up.

Although it is not recommended to bring pets to class, this guy is a dragon after all!

No matter how harmless Abe looked, he was worried about leaving him alone in the dormitory. What if he got lost?

"Aaron, are you awake?" Draco came over with two confused followers.

"Just woke up." Aaron nodded, then he was a little surprised, "Do you usually get up so early?"

"Just barely enough!" Draco said proudly, and then looked at the two fat guys behind him with some anger, "These two guys are lazy, and they woke up after shaking for a long time.

But Aaron, didn't your parents arrange followers for you?"

Aaron was stunned for a moment, thinking of the chattering housekeeper and the several groups of wizards who followed him secretly, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Maybe there are, but I don't want them to disturb my campus life."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm sorry I can't explain this, anyway, the followers of our family may be a little different from what you understand."

Draco nodded as if he understood, although he was a little curious in his heart, but he didn't ask more questions.

The four of them left the dormitory together, first went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and then took the textbooks to the Transfiguration classroom.

It was not yet time for class, or maybe they came early, there were not many students in the classroom except for a cat on the podium.

Except for the two Gryffindors, there were only four of them in Slytherin.

Aaron and Draco sat at the same table, while Crabbe and Goyle sat behind them as expected.

"Aaron." Hermione pointed at Abe that Aaron had placed on the table, and was a little worried at the same time. "Why did you bring it to the classroom?"

"I can't help it. This guy is a little naughty. I'm worried about leaving it in the dormitory!" Aaron said, "I remember that the school doesn't seem to have any rules prohibiting students from bringing pets to class!"

"This... okay! But it always feels a little rude."

"Thank you for your concern. If necessary, I will go back to explain to Professor McGonagall.

Abe is different. He is my family. He is very important to me and even our family."

Seeing Aaron so serious, Hermione didn't say anything else and started reading her textbook.

After hesitating for a moment, Draco whispered to Aaron, "I asked someone to check yesterday. Granger's parents are both Muggles."

"Well, so what?"

Draco's eyes widened instantly, his expression was very surprised, "You know, why are you still friends with her, a mudblood?"

"Shh! Keep your voice down." Aaron hurriedly covered Draco's mouth, but it seemed to be a step too late, because several people in the classroom heard it, including Hermione Granger.

The little girl seemed to have suffered a great injustice, her breathing was choked, her eyes were red, but she tried hard not to cry.

Crabbe and Goyle just watched coldly, and even the only two Gryffindors in the classroom didn't know how to comfort her.

"Uh... Hermione, don't be angry.

I..." Aaron was at a loss. This was the first time he had faced a girl's tears since he was a child. He didn't know how to explain it for a moment. Finally, he sighed, "Leave it to me! I'll take Abe to you first."

Aaron put Abe directly on Hermione's desk. Sure enough, after having a super cute "cat", Hermione's mood improved a little.

Aaron breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Draco who looked indifferent, and said lightly: "Apologize."

"Why? Am I wrong? She is indeed not worthy of being your friend." Draco said with an indignant look, as if he was dissatisfied with Aaron's defense of this mudblood.

"Draco, noble blood is not a reason for you to despise others.

And how I make friends and what kind of friends I make seems to have nothing to do with you." Aaron said patiently.

"But she..." Draco also found that he was not right. He really had no right to intervene in Aaron's affairs, but asking him to apologize to a mudblood, not to mention that his pride would not allow it, his father would definitely not allow it.

"I can't apologize to a mudblood."

"I knew you would say that." Aaron shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's make a small bet.

As long as your grades this semester are better than Hermione's, you don't have to apologize, and I owe the Malfoy family a favor on behalf of the Gaius family.

But if your grades are not as good as Hermione's, then apologize to her and never mention the word "mudblood" in the future.

How about it?"
