Was it possible for a mixed-blood wizard to study in Slytherin?

Of course, it was possible.

However, since the establishment of Hockwarts, not many mixed-blood wizards were able to study in Slytherin. In a school where purebloods were highly valued, the life of a mixed-blood wizard would not be easy.

Vanessa Albert was such a person.

She was always alone and did not socialize with anyone. Apart from her excellent performance in class, she had been studying in Hogwarts for six years and never had a sense of presence.

No, it was not that she did not have a sense of presence. The only thing that made her sense of presence was probably that she was very beautiful.

Vanessa was the most beautiful girl in Hogwarts, whether it was her figure or her appearance. However, it was also because of this that Vanessa, as a mixed-blood wizard with no background, had to tread on thin ice in Slytherin.

The noble pureblood witches would not allow a mixed-blood wizard to be more eye-catching than them, even if Vanessa had tried her best to make herself look as shabby as possible.

It was already curfew time. A good student should be sleeping in their dormitory at this time, but Vanessa was alone in the castle at night.

She ran from the cellar to an abandoned classroom upstairs. After making sure that no one had seen her, she went in and hid in a corner, silently counting the number in her heart.

When she counted to one hundred, there was a noise at the door of the classroom. She quickly looked up and saw a man who was still dazzling even in the dark.

"Senior Malfoy."

She immediately walked out from the corner, stood up straight and looked straight at the tall man who walked in elegantly. He waved his wand and recited a short spell in a low and magnetic voice. The tip of his wand lit up.

"Sorry, I'm late."

His low voice was clear and pleasant in the silence. Vanessa looked at him and shook her head. She nervously clasped her hands behind her back, but her face was calm. "It's my honor to have you here."

The man who came was Lucius Malfoy, the future heir of the most famous pureblood noble Malfoy family in the wizarding world. He was the most respected head of the entire Slytherin Academy. He was wearing a school uniform with the head badge pinned on his chest. His platinum hair hung loosely over his shoulders and was casually tied with a silver-green hair band. Even if it was just a plain outfit, on this handsome man who was always in the limelight, he still looked decent and outstanding.

He was undoubtedly the best.

She had seen everything in the six years since she entered the academy.

"Asking me to meet you here during the curfew, I hope Miss Abbott really has something important to discuss with me."

Lucius stood in front of Vanessa. His attitude towards her was different from other men's, which was scrutinizing, curious, and covetous. He always lifted his chin slightly and looked down at her, as if she was just an insignificant speck of dust on the ground, unworthy of him lowering his noble head even a millimeter.

But strangely, when he looked at Vanessa, he didn't look at other mixed-bloods or Muggles with disgust, as if she was something dirty.

Although he was still arrogant, he was polite and even gentlemanly.

Vanessa didn't hesitate. She slowly reached out her hand behind her back and handed him something she had prepared.

"Elixir of Blessing?"

Seeing the thing in the girl's hand, Lucius raised his eyebrows slightly. His gray-blue eyes looked meaningfully at the beautiful sixth-grade witch. Under his gaze, she slowly said, "This is for you, as a thank you for helping me out not long ago.

You've helped me more than once, and I'm very grateful. Although I don't have anything you like, I still intend to give you something before you graduate … "

"You don't have to take those things to heart."

As Lucius said this, he took the Elixir of Blessing from Vanessa. Vanessa's beautiful green eyes lit up, shining in the dim light. Lucius held the Elixir of Blessing tightly and said, "I'm just fulfilling my duty as a headmaster. You're a student of Slytherin Academy, and I don't want Slytherin to bully the younger students while I'm studying. That's all."

He explained very clearly, and Vanessa also heard it clearly. She was no longer so nervous, and straightened her back to look at Lucius. Lucius looked at her intently. She was always like this, looking at him differently from everyone else. Unless she was a little nervous, she would avoid looking at him. Otherwise, most of the time, she would look directly into his cold, noble eyes without any scruples.

"In any case, I'll remember the help you've given me. My grades in magic potions have always been very good, so please feel free to use the Elixir of Blessing. I won't take up any more of your time, so I'll go back first."

Vanessa bowed to him and was about to leave, but when she passed by him, she was stopped by his leisurely and elegant voice.

"If it's just to give me this, you don't have to ask me to come to this place at this time."

He frowned slightly and waved his wand to put away the Elixir of Blessing. Then he glanced around indifferently, his gray-blue eyes showing some annoyance. Vanessa suddenly understood. How could the spoiled heir of the Malfoy be used to such an abandoned classroom? She immediately said, "Sorry, I didn't think it through properly. Next time …"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lucius. He looked directly at her and said word by word, "You still want there to be a next time?"

Vanessa looked at him in surprise. The two of them looked at each other, and an ambiguous atmosphere circulated in the air. Vanessa suddenly felt that it was difficult to breathe, and her chest rose and fell faster. She nervously clasped her hands and took a few steps back, but after a few steps, she raised her head and walked forward a little.

Lucius slightly narrowed his eyes and looked at her from top to bottom. Vanessa was silent for a long time. Suddenly, she tiptoed and approached him. The elegant tulip smell came from his body. Smelling his unique scent, Vanessa felt that the blood in her body was ignited.

"Yes, Senior Malfoy, maybe you're right. If I just want to give you something, I don't have to ask you to come here. I can send it to you directly …"

As she got closer, her expression and tone changed. She had never had the opportunity to get close to him like this. She felt that she couldn't even control her breathing to be so close to this god-like person that she had never had the right to get close to.

"However, you don't have to take the risk of violating the school's rules to accept such a rude invitation from a junior in the lower grades."

Vanessa spoke in a low voice. At this moment, she was tiptoeing, and Lucius was forced to lean against the wall.

She could imagine how dirty his spotless school uniform would be.

Yes, it would be dirty. But why was Vanessa's blood boiling when she saw it, even though it was clearly a bad thing?

Maybe she just wanted to dirty him.

"But you still came, didn't you?"

After Vanessa finished her last sentence, Lucius had nowhere to retreat.

He lowered his eyes and gazed into her beautiful eyes. The fire in her eyes spread to him. If there was a third person here, they would definitely scream and faint from fright when they saw the distance between them.

"Do you know what you're doing and what you're saying?"

After a long time, Lucius spoke again in the silence. His thin lips were pursed and his gray-blue eyes were slightly narrowed. His tone was always subconsciously exuding a sense of nobility and elegance, which seemed so out of place with everything about Vanessa.

"I want to ask you the same thing."

After Vanessa finished speaking, she wanted to retreat, but in the next second, a slender male arm wrapped around her waist. She was stunned and looked at the man who was almost pressed against her. He blinked and lowered his head. At that moment, Vanessa was stunned. She didn't expect that one day, this man would lower his noble head in front of her.

That night, Vanessa returned to the dormitory very late. The next morning, when Anji, who was in the same dormitory as her, woke up groggily, she was drinking something.

"Are you drinking a magic potion?" Anji asked as he rubbed his eyes.

Vanessa smiled and said, "No, you're mistaken. I'm just drinking water." After that, she quickly put the cup away.

Anji didn't think too much about it. He nodded and went to wash up. After that, the two of them went to the auditorium for breakfast.

Among the seniors, there were rumors about the Lord who advocated the theory of bloodlines. His shadow had already shrouded Hockwarts. The seniors of Slytherin would occasionally talk about him. They were very careful not to attract any attention, but from their words, it was obvious that they admired him.

Vanessa overheard one or two sentences from time to time. When those people were talking, they would glance at her from time to time, as if they were looking at something unpresentable. Vanessa pretended not to see it every time and did her homework quietly.

If the world wasn't peaceful, with her identity, she wouldn't be safe. Fortunately, she would graduate in a year. After that, she would live a humble life and wouldn't attract any attention.

Vanessa and Anji arrived at the auditorium at just the right time. Breakfast had just begun. She and her roommates found a place to sit down and ate as usual.

Except, she sensed that there was an unusual gaze on her.

She took the opportunity to look up as she drank her juice. Coincidentally, she saw Lucius Malfoy looking away.

He was the center of the school. Everyone surrounded him and everything started from him. The person sitting next to him was the honorable fiancée that his family had chosen for him — Narcissa Black.

The daughter of the Black House. She was beautiful, but her personality was a little cold. However, that wasn't a problem. In Slytherin, everyone with some status was like that.

Vanessa looked away and thanked Anji with a smile. She slowly and gracefully ate the food.

Although her status was low and she was a mixed-blood, she wasn't stupid. She was already in the sixth grade, sixteen years old. She hadn't forgotten the etiquette and demeanor that she should have learned.

"Lucius."

Someone called out to him. Lucius looked over. It was Narcissa.

"What were you looking at just now?" Narcissa Black asked calmly.

Lucius took a sip of his wine glass and said calmly, "Air."

Narcissa raised her eyebrows slightly. She looked in the direction that he was looking at just now. There were already two empty seats.

"You're too concerned about my personal affairs, Narcissa." Lucius stood up and tidied his robe. "Don't forget our promise." He reminded her softly. After that, he left the auditorium.

Narcissa glanced at his back and continued eating. Regulus Black came to his sister's side and said in a low voice, "I saw the Malfoy Prefect give you a hard time, sister."

Narcissa said, "Is that so?

Then you must not have seen me give him a hard time too. "

Regulus narrowed his eyes slightly. He was still young and had just entered the first grade. However, he looked mature and didn't seem immature at all.

"He's a good marriage partner. But have you really made up your mind?"

Narcissa was only one grade lower than Lucius and the same grade as Vanessa. Once she graduated, she would marry Lucius immediately. To her, a younger brother was of no value.

"You should focus on your studies, Regulus."

Narcissa stood up and left the long table. Regulus glanced at her one last time and slowly withdrew his gaze. He subconsciously glanced at the long table in Gryffindor. Cyrius Black was talking to his good friend James Potter. He didn't know what they were talking about, but Cyrius's handsome and lazy face showed a smile for a moment. However, when he sensed Regulus's gaze, the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He left the auditorium with Potter, Lu Pin, and Pediro.

Vanessa's first class today was Magic Spells. Anji had left something in the cellar and wanted to go back to get it. Vanessa waited for her in the corridor.

Not far away, a slender man slowly walked over, followed by a group of people who quickly passed in front of her. She kept her head down and didn't dare to offend him.

Lucius also didn't give the beautiful but lowly mixed-blood witch any attention. He quickly left the corridor with his distinguished friends. Vanessa still looked back in the direction he disappeared.

It was almost summer vacation.

When she came back, she would be in the seventh grade, and Lucius would graduate.

From then on, she, a mixed-blood living in the Muggle world, would have nothing to do with him living in the Malfoy Manor.

Vanessa lowered her head again and clasped her hands together. When Anji came back, she went to class with her as usual.

Six years — since she entered the school, he didn't deliberately take care of her. Others might not have noticed, but she knew all about it.
