Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

I ran into Hermione coming out of the bathroom on the way.

"Harry, I heard that Professor McGonagall gave you a task?"

"Yes, that's right. They said Gryffindor has to win the House Cup, or else I'll fail the course."

Harry Potter said helplessly, "Professor McGonagall's words are pure threat."

Judging from the looks of it, even if she passed the exam, she would still make her fail.

"That sounds like a really sad thing."

"If you could tone down your smile when you say this, you would be more sincere."

"So what are you planning to do now?"

"Let's go to Slytherin and chat with our dear classmates for a bit."

"Slytherin?"

Hermione looked at Harry Potter with a strange expression, noticing that he wasn't holding a wand.

"Are you really going to go there empty-handed?"

"Of course, I'm not going there to fight; I just want to have a friendly exchange of ideas."

"real or fake?"

Hermione found it hard to believe that this guy in front of her had just yesterday led a group of people to attack Slytherin.

If someone claims they're just there for friendly exchanges, who would believe them?

"If you don't believe me, then come with me."

"If a fight really breaks out, please help me out. I will always remember this favor."

Harry Potter spoke with such conviction that Hermione rolled her eyes and couldn't help but punch him.

The two descended the stairs to the Slytherin common room, feeling its chilly atmosphere.

Harry Potter suddenly remembered what Lin Yu had told him: the mysterious place in this school was the basement beneath Slytherin.

If you have time, you should definitely go and see what secrets it holds.

I reckon the George brothers would know how to get there; those two have practically figured out every single secret passage in the entire school.

The two stopped in front of the Slytherin common room.

"What's wrong? Why don't you go inside?"

Hermione said, somewhat puzzled, "Does it mean you're a little worried about just the two of us?"

"No, it's just that I don't know today's password."

Harry Potter said it casually.

"You came here without knowing the password?"

Hermione was speechless. After the common room was ransacked yesterday, Slytherin would definitely change the password. Before coming here, she thought that Harry Potter had already obtained the password, just like yesterday.

When they arrived at the door, they realized that there had been no preparations at all.

"It's alright, we just need to wait here. I'm sure a kind and helpful Slytherin will come and open the door for us."

As they were talking, the stone wall in front of them began to rotate, and a stone door formed, indicating that someone was preparing to come out.

"Look, here comes the classmates who help each other."

Harry Potter said with a smile, and then, just as a figure appeared in the doorway, he reached out and pulled the person over.

"Crawb, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to see you here."

Hermione really didn't want to say anything about Harry Potter blocking someone's door and saying such things.

However, Crabbe's reaction was completely different from hers.

The moment I saw Harry Potter, I instinctively covered my bruised and swollen head with both hands.

"No! Don't hit me!"

"I didn't do anything, it's none of my business!"

Yesterday, because he and Goyle were Malfoy's sidekicks, Harry Potter took special care of them.

Of all the Slytherin members, those three were the most seriously injured.

Malfoy is still lying unconscious in the infirmary, and it's estimated that his parents will be notified to send him home in the next couple of days.

Seeing Harry Potter and Crabbe again now triggers a stress reaction in me.

"Don't be nervous, calm down."

"I'm not here to cause you trouble, I just need your help with something."

"I'm sure you won't refuse, right?"

Harry Potter spoke with a smile, his tone very gentle.

But to Crabbe's ears, all of this sounded like a demonic threat.

"I...I understand. I'll help you no matter what, as long as you let me go."

Crabbe is now completely terrified of Harry Potter. Even their leader is like this now, so what right does he, as a lackey, have to be presumptuous in front of Harry Potter?

"First, I need you to open the door to the lounge for me."

Harry Potter was pleased with Crabbe's attitude and nodded to him.

Upon hearing this request, Crabbe instinctively turned his head to look at the stone wall behind him.

They just changed the password yesterday, and today he's going to personally open the door and let Harry Potter in.

Even though the other party didn't come with as many people as yesterday, there were only two.

But this behavior is no less than betrayal.

Having betrayed the entire academy, how will he live his life from now on?

"Don't worry, things can't get any worse, can they?"

"It's better to be disliked by your Slytherin classmates than to get involved with Death Eaters, isn't it?"

Harry Potter reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying something meaningful.

Upon hearing this, Crabbe was startled and quickly nodded in agreement.

"I understand, I'll open the door right away."

Crabbe gritted his teeth, turned around and faced the stone wall.

"Remember!"

Upon hearing the command to open the door, Hermione suddenly burst out laughing.

They were just brutally beaten up yesterday, and now they've changed their password to something else. It's really laughable.

"It seems that my fellow Slytherin classmates are quite dissatisfied with me."

Harry Potter walked into the common room and spoke to Crabbe.

"No, this has nothing to do with us. Professor Snape changed the password."

Seemingly afraid that Harry Potter might misunderstand, Crabbe quickly explained.

As they spoke, the familiar Slytherin common room came into view.

Although most of the things had been packed up, some things like the curtains that were torn yesterday had not yet been replaced, leaving only a bare window standing there.

The arrival of Harry Potter and his friends instantly turned the once lively and somewhat bustling lounge into a freezing atmosphere.

Before Harry Potter could speak, someone shouted!

"Harry Potter is back!"

This shout made everyone in the common room react as if they had seen a man-eating tiger, and they all ran towards their dorm rooms, trying to hide inside and lock the doors.

However, it was clearly too late.

'Tsk, looks like yesterday's events really scared these kids half to death.'

Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh at the sight.

'Master, please stop laughing at me.'

Harry Potter thought to himself as he clapped his hands.

"My fellow Slytherin students, if I were you, I would stop right now."

"It wouldn't be good if we accidentally ended up in the Death Eaters' camp, would it?"

Harry Potter's words were like flipping a switch.

The group, who had just been preparing to slip away, now stood there, their faces filled with humiliation.

"very good."

"Next, I would like to ask you all for a small favor. Please go and find all the Slytherin prefects. I need to speak with them about something."

Seeing that Harry Potter didn't seem to be planning a big fight and that it didn't seem to concern them much, the ordinary students finally breathed a sigh of relief.
