When Harley knocked on the door of the Malfoy compartment, Alexandra was sitting with Pansy and Daphne from the Greengrass family, discussing the distribution of power within Slytherin House after enrollment.
There were many students from the sacred twenty-eight in their year, but only a few could truly be classified under Slytherin House—aside from the three most powerful and ancient families, the Malfoy Family, Parkinson Family, and Greengrass family, there was only the Bulstrode family and the Nott family, which had declined sharply after Lord Voldemort's disappearance.
The heir of the Bulstrode family in this generation, Millicent Bulstrode, was a waste whose head was filled with nothing but muscle, posing no threat at all.
Theodore Nott of the Nott family was solitary; although his father had been a Death Eater loyal to Lord Voldemort, he himself was an absolute neutralist and disliked power struggles.
Furthermore, when Lord Voldemort was defeated and disappeared, the Nott family failed to cut ties with the Death Eaters in time and was besieged by the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix, having to pay a heavy price to escape... All things considered, Alexandra did not believe Theodore Nott had the ability to pose any threat to her.
Unlike the spoiled young master Draco Malfoy in the original work, Alexandra was more like a replica of the young Tom Riddle—she not only possessed a stunning face and extraordinary wit but was also well-versed in the ways of the world, excelling at dealing with those who could bring her benefits.
Alexandra grew up listening to stories of her ancestors' rise and Lord Voldemort's ascent. Under the influence of such a family background, the black-hearted Alexandra had a raging fire burning in her heart since she was old enough to understand things. She desperately yearned to reach the pinnacle of power and lead the House of Malfoy to new heights of glory.
If that half-blood brat Tom Riddle could almost change the wizarding world, it shouldn't be too difficult for a pure-blood Wizard of noble lineage like her to overthrow the existing system of the wizarding world in Great Britain and establish her own regime.
As the only daughter of the Malfoy Family, one of the sacred twenty-eight, Alexandra was born with certain rights. Although she had not yet officially entered Hogwarts, the position of Slytherin Girl Prefect in five years and Head Girl in seven years would undoubtedly be hers.
Currently, neither the Parkinson Family nor the Greengrass family had as much power as the Malfoy Family. Unless that young lady from the Snape Family wanted to compete, she really couldn't think of anyone else capable of rivaling her.
At this thought, a sharp light flashed in Alexandra's eyes. She glanced at Pansy and Daphne beside her, who had been suppressed by her since childhood and had lost their competitive spirit and ability to resist—if Miss Snape were successfully sorted into Slytherin, her next seven years of school life would certainly not be boring.
Knock, knock~ knock.
Harley politely knocked three times and asked, "Excuse me, is Miss Malfoy in this compartment? I am Harley Snape, here as invited."
Alexandra paused for two seconds and gestured for Daphne, who was sitting by the door, to open it.
Pansy, sitting by the window, looked excited. Ever since she accidentally caught a glimpse of her friend Alexandra losing her composure during the Quidditch World Cup, she had been full of curiosity about Harley Snape.
The Parkinson Family was world-renowned in the wizarding world for their skill in gathering intelligence. Since the Quidditch World Cup, Pansy had used her family's resources to search for information related to Harley Snape. But the results were quite surprising.
Everyone only knew that Hogwarts' potions master Snape had a genius and beautiful daughter, but almost no one had ever seen her or spoken with her.
Furthermore, almost all information about Harley was leaked by Professor Snape himself—initially, if any student performed poorly while making a Potion, Professor Snape would always mock them mercilessly: "I didn't expect a Troll-head like you to be admitted to Hogwarts; my daughter, who hasn't even started school yet, is better at making Potions than you."
In recent years, Snape had become even more excessive in bragging about his daughter. Even when encountering a talented student, he would still compare them with his precious daughter, disparaging them: "Your talent is decent, but you're still far from being a true genius—take my daughter Harley, for example; she's not only smarter than you but also a hundred times more beautiful."
This left students who graduated from Hogwarts in the last ten years with the impression that Professor Snape's daughter was a beautiful genius, which also made Pansy even more curious about the girl who had made Alexandra blush.
As the compartment door opened, a red-haired young girl appeared before the three in the compartment.
Daphne and Pansy were both stunned. The girl before them was so beautiful and moving that even they, who had always held themselves in high regard, couldn't help but be captivated—this was the first time they had seen a peer whose looks could rival Alexandra's.
Harley didn't have a gentle look; her high-bridged nose paired with her bright and grand features made her appear both striking and full of an invisible aggression. This unique temperament, like her bright flame-red hair, made her the center of attention wherever she went.
In contrast, Alexandra, with her platinum blonde hair and snow-white skin, was like a cold and noble fairy descending to earth, giving off an unapproachable feeling. A strong contrast, like ice and fire, formed between Harley and Alexandra.
Pansy murmured to herself, "It seems Professor Snape wasn't lying; at least in terms of appearance, his daughter is indeed one of a kind."
Harley keenly caught the main point of Pansy's words—in an instant, she seemed to understand why the upperclassmen on the train could recognize her identity just by her long red hair. It turned out the problem lay with her old father!
