Seeing the worried eyes of his housemates Lucas chuckled, "What are you doing? Nothing happened to me."
"Chief, have you heard all the rumors outside these days?"
Lucas nodded, after all he is not deaf so there's no way he didn't hear the rumors.
He just didn't expect that Myrtle still remembered what he did last year in the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets.
Everyone frowned when they saw Lucas' disinterested and careless expression.
Payne Travers comes up to Lucas.
"Chief, we discussed it just now, please stay with Draco Malfoy and others during this time."
"Our other grade chiefs will take turns following you to class every day to prevent you from being attacked by others."
"Ahem!" Lucas coughed twice.
The freshly brewed black tea in the cup spilled a lot.
"I say, aren't you guys going too far?"
Several year chiefs shook their heads and Marci Flint, Head of the fourth years, said: "You don't know what happened to Harry Potter, do you?"
"In the past two days, not only was he isolated by people from his own House, but he was also pranked by people from other Houses during class."
"That's why we are so nervous, you are the head of our House, if you are successfully pranked by someone, it will be a humiliation for all of Slytherin."
Lucas really didn't know that Harry had such a miserable two days.
"Stupid Gryffindors."
"That's right, stupid Gryffindors!" Draco echoed.
Lucas glanced at him, perhaps this time will be an opportunity for Draco to reconcile with Harry.
However, he thinks that Harry has become more and more alienated from himself recently, but maybe he's worrying for nothing.
"Okay, I accept your wishes, but you don't need to escort me to class."
"To put it bluntly, you may not be able to beat me, so how can the other three Houses?"
The truth hurts the most, especially when coupled with Lucas's clearly mocking expression.
Several year chiefs suddenly felt angry.
Lucas put away his mocking expression and looked at everyone with a gentle smile.
"Thank you for your concern, really!"
In recent years, Slytherin has been synonymous with cunning and treachery in the impression of outsiders.
Almost everyone thinks subconsciously that Slytherins have a purpose in making friends with people.
I'm afraid Dumbledore also contributed a lot to this.
At the start of each year, not a single line of the Sorting Hat's song praises the Slytherins.
But, only the Slytherins themselves know just how strong is the Slytherin friendship.
Under their mask of indifference is their concern for their friends, and this is the warmth that belongs only to Slytherins.
The Slytherins saw the chief salute to themselves, so they stood up and raised their wands in return.
After this incident, they found that the chief was standing in front of everyone before.
But now they found that the chief actually needed their protection.
Because of this little episode, the Slytherin House was more united than ever.
Lucas looked around the crowd and said again: "But what Payne said just now woke me up."
"During these dangerous times, it is best for us Slytherin students to commute to and from class as a group, also when going to the Great Hall for meals."
"Whoever this heir is, he can't have a good intention to open our Slytherin chamber."
"To prevent students from other Houses from venting their anger on us, starting tomorrow, all years will act collectively."
"Yes, Chief!"
Everyone in the common room answered in unison.
At this moment, the door of the common room was opened.
Black wizard robes and greasy hair, Professor Snape stepped in through the door in one step.
"Professor!"
Everyone greeted him in unison.
He just nodded lightly and his eyes turned to Lucas on the side.
"Mr. Grindelwald, from tomorrow, come to my office every afternoon and evening for detention."
Professor Snape didn't wait for an answer, and walked out of the lounge after speaking.
With fast footsteps, the old bat disappeared at the door in an instant.
Lucas smiled softly, "He's really a weird person."
The purpose of the Potions Master is actually the same as that of the year chiefs.
And there is nothing wrong with the Head of House protecting the Chief of his own House.
"Chief, are you really not the heir?"
A voice came from the crowd.
Daphne Greengrass raised her right hand timidly.
The Greengrass family, even though they stayed neutral during the war they were still supporters of pure blood ideologies.
In fact, most of the Sacred 28 families support the supremacy of blood.
And those pure-blood families who are pro-Muggles and half-bloods are treated with disdain.
After so many years, some of the Sacred 28 began to move closer to the pro-Muggle side.
For example, the Weasley family, and that's why their family was called blood traitors by Malfoy.
The next day Lucas walked in the Castle as usual.
Although the students from the other houses were staring at him and whispering, no one wants to step forward and make trouble.
After all, Lucas excellent's grades and performance on the Dueling Club are enough to prove his strength.
"Really, why don't these people want to think for themselves."
"That's right, they are so hateful."
Hermione and Cho looked angrily at the students walking by, then they looked at Lucas worriedly.
"Oh ladies, you really don't have to worry about me, I'm content with you and everyone in Slytherin supporting me."
"Oh, George, it's so sad that the little Chief doesn't recognize his two handsome friends."
"Yes, yes, Fred, the little Chief is drifting away from us, oh~ it makes me so sad."
The exaggerated words of the twins came from behind.
The two wiped away the tears that didn't exist with small handkerchiefs, their expressions exaggerated to the extreme.
But the two soon noticed the teasing look in Lucas' eyes and put away their bombastic performances.
Putting their arms around Lucas' shoulders.
"Beautiful ladies, we need to borrow your boyfriend, but don't worry, we will return him shortly."
After the two finished speaking, they lifted Lucas by the armpits and walked out, once they were outside they started walking normally.
The three of them didn't stop until they came to the edge of the black lake.
"What's the matter with you two? I have to go to class!"
The twins looked embarrassed, which was really uncommon for them.
They picked up stones on the ground and threw them into the lake.
They didn't stop until the merpeople in the lake surfaced, annoyed by all the stone throwing.
"If you don't say anything else, I will leave."
Lucas turned around to leave but the two hurriedly stopped him.
"Lucas, actually we want to ask you to borrow some money."
"What are you borrowing money for?"
The two said embarrassingly: "We have some ideas recently, planning to make a batch of prank toys, but we don't have enough capital."
"How much do you need?"
"Twenty Galleons will suffice."
As soon as George finished speaking, Fred went on to say: "You also know the situation of our family, and we also do this to subsidize the family."
Looking at the uneasy eyes of the two, Lucas nodded and said, "No problem, I can lend you 50 Galleons."
"50?" the two exclaimed.
"Yes, but I have a condition, the prank toys you make must be sold to my joke shop."
"No problem." The two agreed without hesitation.
They were meant to be sold, so it doesn't matter if it's to Zonko's Magic joke shop or Lucas' shop.
Seeing that the two agreed, Lucas went on to say: "Starting from this summer vacation, you are going to work in my joke shop."
"You can use any material in the store, but the finished product can only be sold in my store."
The twins looked at each other and after a few seconds, the two nodded at the same time.
"no problem."
The deal was concluded, and Lucas paid the two of them 50 Galleons on the spot.
The twins are geniuses at practical jokes, so it's good to lure the two into the store first.
When Lucas finally reached the dungeons, Professor Snape had just walked to the door.
Seeing that Lucas was late he shot him a hard look.
"Everyone, open your books on page 115 and tell me what it says."
"Swelling Solution!"
The students of Slytherin and Gryffindor answered in unison.
Lucas took the opportunity to take the empty seat next to Draco.
"What's going on with Harry?"
While preparing his cauldron, he looked towards the first row next to him.
Poor Harry, there is no one sitting in the front, back, left, or right.
He and Ron Weasley are like two plague gods and everyone is avoiding them.
"Hmph, stupid lions."
Well, Draco answered Lucas's question concisely.
Lucas didn't expect it to be so serious, but it reached the point where the people of Gryffindor even isolated Harry in class.
Lucas just glanced at it and didn't care anymore.
In fact, Harry hasn't spoken to Lucas for a long time.
It wasn't long after Lucas looked away that Harry turned to look at him too.
At this moment, the look in his eyes is very complicated.
He just couldn't figure it out, why is it that while also being suspected of being the heir of Slytherin Lucas seemed so unaffected.
The Slytherins didn't isolate him either, they even reserved a seat for him.
Could it be because he is the Chief of their House?
Harry thought it was very possible.
And the students of Slytherin, maybe they want Lucas to be the heir.
JA...
Harry recalled the scene he saw when he passed the corridor just now.
The Weasley twins were happily talking with Lucas, while people in other Houses seemed to only talk about him in private.
But when it comes to himself it's another story altogether.
The twins claim him to be an evil dark wizard, while people from other houses would talk bad about him to his face and play pranks on him.
Harry frowned tightly, then he turned to look at his friend.
"Ron, how can we get honor for Gryffindor."
Ron knew the pressure his friend was under these days.
So he quickly gave an answer after hearing the question: "The Quidditch championship, the House Cup or something big enough to cause a sensation in the school."
When Ron said this, he carefully looked around and saw Snape on the podium.
"If you can find out the true heir, everyone in the school except Slytherin will regard you as a hero."
Ron's words were like a guiding light that dispelled the haze in Harry's heart.
"That's right, if I find the real heir, not only will I be respected by most of the school, but I might even help Gryffindor win the House Cup."
Harry Potter who was only 12 years old.
At this moment, a raging fire called ambition bloomed in his eyes.
"Harry, focus and be careful!"
When he noticed his friend's mind wandering off, Ron hurriedly reminded him.
But it was too late, Harry's wand exploded upon contact with the cauldron and Swelling Solution splattered everywhere.
Fortunately, there was no one around them, so only both of them suffered.
"Fool, idiot, stupid dunderhead dumber than a troll!"
"Ten points from Gryffindor!"
Amidst Professor Snape's roar, the Potions class was finally drawing to a close.
