On the second day of formal classes at Hogwarts, it was already noon when Slytherin followed the pudgy Professor Sprout to finish herbal medicine class in the greenhouse behind the castle.
Lin An was walking directly in front of the team——
In fact, this is really a misunderstanding. She has no requirements on where to walk. She just needs to control her own pace.
However, when the morning preview brought Slytherin consecutively accumulating thirty extra points in class, after class, all the little wizards gathered around her in unison.
Just like a mother chicken raising her young.
Moreover, under the deep-rooted class education of their family, they all regard her as a leader.
Lin An was helpless: "Are you going to follow me like this all the time?"
Draco looked at her with gray-blue eyes: "In Slytherin, the strong should be respected."
It was as if he was honoring his actions by sticking close to her.
He had fair cheeks with a hint of baby fat, but he said such adult words. Lin An couldn't hold it back and touched his cheek——
Soft and smooth.
"It's just useless formalism."
"I have no intention of leading everyone to glory. I just did what a student should do. If you are willing to review with me, then there will be one hour of collective review time in the lounge every night."
"But usually, you can still do what you want to do. You don't have to follow me closely."
The little wizards looked at each other, and finally thought of something, and all of them became confused and even a little aggrieved.
Pansy Parkinson, who had a cold face, said in a hard tone:
"They want to follow you. That way they will feel safe, right?"
Lin An was stunned.
She thought about the past two days and slowly understood what Pansy meant by the sense of security.
Although Voldemort failed, his shadow still hangs over all families, and these wizarding families will invariably transmit their fear to the next generation.
It has been eleven years since Voldemort disappeared, and people still dare not call him by his name. You can imagine how heavy the shadow is.
Slytherin's reputation is naturally evident.
Hence the vicious cycle, and they were notoriously difficult to get along with throughout Hogwarts.
Even though it was only one day of class, Lin An had already discovered it, whether it was eating in the auditorium, seeing him in the corridor, or in class...
In short, even though Ravenclaw is immersed in knowledge, the new students still show some resistance and awe when facing them under the guidance of their instructions.
Not to mention Hufflepuff.
If the soft and honest little badgers come into contact with Slytherin in the corridor, they will even quietly stick it to the wall.
Under this situation, the Slytherin freshmen who were incompatible with other houses could only purse their lips in frustration, and then started to hug together more and more.
But Lin An is different.
She is more like a solid safe haven.
When she demonstrated her amazing magic in the common room, everyone knew she would be the best in Slytherin.
And when she boldly made such a request to the dean, everyone could no longer look at her with normal eyes.
When they first arrive, they move from their respective families to a collective accommodation life. Having a leader with strong magical power who can bring everyone a sense of security will make them more energetic and follow each other step by step.
Many leaders are slowly born this way
But Lin An doesn't want to be a leader.
She doesn't want to take care of children either.
But this group of students...
Generally speaking, as long as she is strong enough, everyone will listen to her by default and put her first in everything.
If this situation continues and the majesty becomes stronger and stronger, then when Voldemort returns, can she let everyone restrain herself?
Lin An was silent for a moment, then suddenly showed a gentle smile:
"I know you are all outstanding. You gained thirty points in one class, which is very rare. I hope that Slytherin will still win the Academy Cup this year."
The little wizards pursed their lips, blushed in unison, and then smiled.
Although the half-hour preview in the morning didn't seem to have much effect, in class, they discovered that it was so easy to add points.
This is where positive feedback for learning comes from.
It was more than enough, Lin An praised it, and then walked forward: "Tonight we have an astronomy course, and we need to go to the tower to see the stars, but as you know, I am from the Muggle world."
She has never shied away from her origins, let alone emphasized her unwarranted bloodline. But she still has appeal in front of this group of young wizards who have not yet clearly established their three views.
"So, after dinner, before today's astronomy class starts, would anyone like to tell me about this class in advance?"
