Struggling to survive at Hogwarts

Chapter 117 Gella Rozier

Perhaps because of the Dementors attack on young wizards at the start of this semester, the Sorting Ceremony was a little later than usual this semester.

Thea obediently followed Professor Snape into the hall.

Perhaps the pairing of the dark-faced professor and the popular student was too conspicuous, because the bored little wizards began to whisper among themselves from the moment the two entered the room.

Thea perfectly embodied the image of a well-behaved student, calmly taking her usual seat.

"How are you? Are you feeling better?"

As soon as Thea sat down, Draco rushed over and asked.

As Hermione quietly entered the hall and Dumbledore took his seat at the professor's table, Thea discreetly peeked out a corner of the pouch containing the potion.

"...Are you planning to have potions for dinner?"

Draco's face was full of surprise, and many of the people around him looked astonished as well.

"No, I just wanted to say that I feel much better after drinking these potions!"

The people nearby were skeptical.

Thea was exhausted and focused her attention on the college sorting ceremony.

Before long, Thea was drawn to a little wizard with a burning gaze.

There was no other reason than that the other person's height was exceptionally tall among the group of little kids, and the fact that he kept staring at Thea without blinking naturally caught Thea's attention.

Because of the other party's peculiar behavior, not only Thea, but also the young wizards around her and the professors on the professors' bench all turned their eyes in this direction.

Suddenly, a very bad feeling rose in Thea's heart.

As the number of young wizards in the Sorting House dwindled until only the strangely behaving little witch remained, Dumbledore stood up and explained:

"This semester, Hogwarts welcomes its first transfer student in history—Gella Rozier!"

As Dumbledore finished speaking, almost everyone's attention was focused on the blonde little witch.

Gella was not intimidated and turned around to give a graceful wizard's salute to everyone.

The other person's beautiful appearance and elegant demeanor instantly boosted everyone's goodwill towards her, and enthusiastic applause rang out in the hall.

"Given Miss Rozier's age and level of knowledge, she will be enrolled directly in the third-year curriculum after the Sorting Ceremony."

"Now, Miss Rozier, please come to the stage."

Gellar turned around again, walked slowly up the steps, and put on the tattered hat.

“Oh! A guest from France!” the Sorting Hat exclaimed in surprise. “Let me see which house you should go to…”

"Hmm... You have boundless courage! And a thirst for knowledge..."

With her eyes closed, Gellar had only one thought in her mind: "I want to go to Slytherin! Slytherin!"

"Oh? Going to Slytherin?... Well, I sincerely hope you get what you want there!"

"Slytherin—"

As the Sorting Hat fell silent, the entire Slytherin table erupted in restrained yet enthusiastic applause.

"Thank you, Mr. Sorting Hat."

Gella took off her hat and walked steadily toward Thea.

"Hello! Miss Blake!" Gella greeted Thea warmly, extending her hand. "Nice to meet you, please take care of me in the future!"

Thea had a bad feeling when she saw the other person rushing straight at her, but she didn't expect this hothead to rush at her so recklessly. Didn't he see that the prefect's face next to him was all wrong?

However, no matter how shocked Thea was, she still slowly stood up and politely shook the girl's soft hand: "Hello, Miss Rozier."

Despite her outward calm, a scheming mind was racing inside Gella's head!

Ahhhhh!

I shook hands with my idol!

Mom! I've made something of myself!

My idol's hands are so soft! They feel so nice to touch!

Seeing that the handshake was over but the other person was still standing there in a daze, Thea had no choice but to lower her head and give Draco a look. Although Draco looked unhappy, he still obediently made room for her.

It wasn't until Gella sat down and calmed down for a while that she had the energy to look around at the people sitting around her.

This sight almost made Gella jump up!

Mom! Our ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke!

Look at them, each of them has been mentioned in textbooks!

The renowned Potions Master, Mr. Nott, dedicated his life to promoting the standardization of potions!

Miss Greengrass will receive two Merlin First Class Medals in the future!

And sitting next to her was her "savior"—Miss Black!

The intense sense of unreality made Gella feel almost ethereal, but she finally snapped back to reality when she met Thea's questioning gaze!

Noticing the strange looks people were giving her, Gella immediately put on a smile and flitted around the table like a bee flitting among flowers.

Some people tried to make things difficult for Gella, but Gella easily deflected their attempts.

Someone tried to bring up a topic to embarrass Gella, but no matter what the topic was, the other person could smoothly catch it and throw out another topic to embarrass them.

Until the end of dinner, no one was able to gain an advantage over Gella.

Fortunately, Slytherins are always good at protecting themselves. Seeing that the people in front of them had run into a brick wall, they all suppressed their desire to make things difficult for the other party and tacitly agreed that the other party could sit in the front row of the Slytherin table for the time being.

The reason it's only temporary is that everyone is still unsure of the other person's strength. Once they discover that the other person's strength is insufficient to allow her to sit in the front row, even without the prefects saying anything, ambitious young wizards will make sure that the other person returns to their rightful place!

It's not that Slytherins are cold-blooded, but that's their nature; survival of the fittest is the basic principle for survival here.

Thea initially didn't want to pay any more attention to the other person, but she couldn't resist their enthusiasm. Seeing the food piling up in front of her, Thea finally couldn't help but speak up:

"Miss Rozier, aren't you hungry?"

My idol cares about me!

Gella silently set off fireworks in her heart!

He then put on a "calm" face and began to eat.

Seeing this, the others breathed a sigh of relief and began to eat.

Thea looked at the unfamiliar face next to her and confirmed that she had never seen this face before.

Thea silently lowered her head and cut a piece of steak, her mind filled with all of the other person's suspicious behavior, trying to analyze their purpose.

Undoubtedly, the other party was very enthusiastic towards me, which anyone with eyes could see, but this enthusiasm was a bit too much!

The way she looked at herself was so fervent, as if she were paying homage to some revolutionary martyr!

The way everyone looked at Harry was even more eager than when school first started!

correct!

Savior!

Could it be...?

Thea paused slightly, her hand holding the knife and fork, because the thought that had just crossed her mind was too horrifying.

Looking at the seemingly oblivious blonde girl beside her, Thea's lips curled up slightly.

If my guess is correct, that would be... very interesting!
