Chapter 391: Slytherin Dormitory

~6 min read 1,129 words

Soon the three of them reached the underground.

The Snake House's Common Room is underground; after entering, one can see the bottom of Black Lake through a huge floor‑to‑ceiling window.

It's as spectacular as an aquarium.

The dormitories line both sides of a circular waterway, each door bearing a silver‑green snake‑shaped plaque.

"The girls' dormitory is on the left, the boys' on the right."

"Your dorm is the room at the end; it's a single."

Draco led Jor to the end of the corridor, and Jor asked oddly.

"Why a single?"

"I don't know; the professor arranged it," Draco said, shaking his head.

"But I want to live with a roommate," Jor said, looking at Astoria beside him.

"A single is fine too, it's quiet," Astoria whispered, her gaze softening toward Jor.

"If you want someone to talk to, you can come find me anytime; I live over there."

Astoria pointed to a dorm several doors away and said.

Jor could only nod.

After saying goodbye to the two, Jor pushed open the single and went inside.

The room wasn't large, but it was neat and tidy.

A bed, a desk, a wardrobe, and a private bathroom.

Snake motifs decorated every corner.

Still, it looked rather luxurious.

"Sigh, how did I end up in Snake House?"

"Brother, this shouldn't count as betrayal, right?"

Jor sat on the bed, muttering to himself.

【Count, how is it not counted】

【Tomorrow your sister‑in‑law will tidy you up】

John's teasing voice echoed in his mind.

After more than a month together, Jor had begun boldly calling Hermione sister‑in‑law.

Both families' parents tacitly approved.

After all, the two were about to get engaged.

"Sister‑in‑law would never tidy me up; she's the one who loves me most," Jor mumbled, leaning back onto the soft mattress, staring blankly at the snake‑shaped chandelier on the ceiling.

"Besides, this should count as deep‑behind‑enemy reconnaissance, gathering intel, and blending in with the Death Eater Reserves."

Jor's mind shifted, and he slickly found himself a grandiose excuse, his mouth curling up unconsciously.

【6】

"7."

【Nerve】

"You're the crazy one!"

After a brief spat, the two turned to serious matters.

"By the way, brother, what do you think of the daytime Dementor Attack?"

【Feels like Voldemort is testing】

"Testing what?"

【Testing Dumbledore's attitude; although that trap Voldemort didn't get Dumbledore as hoped, but 'killed' me】

【Voldemort didn't come away empty‑handed; he'll certainly keep trying, testing Dumbledore's stance, seeking another way to lure Dumbledore out alone】

Jor nodded thoughtfully.

【You don't need to worry, just enjoy life】

"Alright... by the way, today Luna sister's gaze at me feels weird..."

Jor changed the subject.

【Can it not be weird? You try to stay low‑key but have to show off】

【You repeated everything I did back then, the lines are identical】

【I had only 'died' a short while ago, and immediately a person appeared with power not inferior to mine and highly similar behavior; if I were in his shoes I'd also be suspicious】

Hearing John's reprimand, Jor stuck out his tongue and muttered softly, "Why so fierce, I'll be more careful next time."

"And brother, back then you were even more flamboyant than me, daring to stand out without any Magic, that's why I'm where I am."

"Hmph, tomorrow I'll complain to sister‑in‑law."

The more Jor spoke, the more confidence he gained, and his voice grew louder.

【?】

Alright, alright, I've become a negative example.

Jor's enrollment was decided on the day Dumbledore brought Harry and Grindelwald over.

After all, John needed a new identity to appear at Hogwarts.

Coincidentally, John needed to rest and recover his soul.

Jor had just been born.

So they arranged for Jor to enroll at Hogwarts as a Transfer Student, giving John's body a complete transformation.

That way Jor could experience life, and John could naturally appear at Hogwarts.

It was originally intended to have Yueer start as a first‑year student.

But John thought for a moment and refused.

After all, this time was only a spur‑of‑the‑moment idea, not indicating that Yueer truly intends to study at Hogwarts seriously for seven years.

First, the duration is too long; second, John hopes that in the future Yueer can have a body of her own and start anew.

Regarding Yueer's future, John already has a sense of it in his mind.

Only the time hasn't come yet, so it can't be confirmed.

Therefore, Yueer is first admitted as a transfer student in the third year.

This way Yueer won't attract too much attention, yet can access enough coursework to avoid boredom.

It's just that this girl doesn't know whether it's because of her own soul's influence or her nature.

Yueer can't be low‑key at all.

Of course the Dementor Attack isn't her fault, and John also supports her rescuing people.

It's just that the displayed power is a bit too exaggerated...

Fortunately, the reputation of being "picked up by Dumbledore" is intimidating enough.

A student personally brought by Headmaster Dumbledore is a bit special, but that's normal.

The next day.

Yueer got up early, finished washing up, and hopped toward the Great Hall.

But on the way, she ran into Professor Snape.

He gave Yueer a casual glance.

Although he knows John is inside her body, he also understands that the person before him is Yueer and cannot treat her as John.

So he said lightly, "Miss Ge Lin, I hope you will mind the proper bearing expected of a Slytherin member; hopping around is unbecoming."

"I don't want anyone to say that we Slytherins are uncultured brutes."

Yueer stopped, tilted her head, gave Snape a glance, and cheerfully performed a somewhat improper bow: "Alright, Professor Snape."

Seeing her cheerful demeanor, Professor Snape's eye twitched, but he said nothing more and turned away with long strides.

【Wow, Old Bat is in such a good mood today?】

John's voice sounded in his mind.

"Heh heh, of course it's because this lady is loved by everyone," Yueer said proudly, lifting her chin.

Soon she arrived at the Great Hall.

Before she entered, Hermione hurried over.

"Yueer, how was last night in Slytherin?"

Her tone was somewhat worried, as if afraid Yueer had been mistreated.

"It's fine, sis... sister."

"Senior Malfoy looked after me, and an upperclasswoman was also very nice."

Hearing Yueer's words, Hermione finally nodded.

"And what are you afraid of? I have a brother inside me~" Yueer looked left and right, saw no one, then whispered softly.

Hermione couldn't help but laugh; she seemed to be looking at Yueer, but was actually speaking to the John inside Yueer.

"It's precisely because he's there that I'm uneasy; who knows if his mind might suddenly glitch and do something foolish."

After speaking, the two girls couldn't help but laugh.

John:?
