I feel like I'm going to turn into a candle...... There is a feeling of sweating all the time, and I feel that I can lose ten pounds without doing anything this summer. ｗｗ?ｗ?．?

In fact, there are good and bad things about Harry's ability to speak snakes, and there is no need to say much about the bad ones, and after the news spread through the school, Harry felt that he was once again "famous".

If he could, Harry would have liked to give this opportunity to Lockhart, who had dreamed of it, but now it would only be Harry who would be ostracized by the students.

Harry had never thought it would be so sad, he had thought that the days after last year's fifty points had been hard enough, but compared to the current one, it was nothing to mention.

It's as if today, he's met Ernie McMillan in the library, and the thing is spreading rumors about Harry among the students. No matter how Harry tried to defend and explain, the creature always had a "you can't fool me" expression, and the angry Harry almost couldn't help but want to beat him up.

Sometimes, Harry himself wanted to slap himself a few times, and he couldn't help but be cheap at the time.

This distress is incomprehensible to ordinary people, but anyone who is not blind can see that Harry is now very difficult.

"If you want to start a little bit, we can go home on vacation the day after tomorrow. Ron tried to comfort Harry.

"Do you think they'll forget about it after the holidays?"

"I don't think so. Ron shook his head, "They're not Neville. ”

"Alas......"

Neville, who was packing his luggage on the side, felt like he was lying down, but he didn't say anything, he was used to it anyway.

When he finished packing, Neville sat down to take a sip of water and said, "Actually, there are good things, aren't they?"

"Like Hogwarts has a snake that wants to kill?" Ron asked rhetorically.

This was noticed by Neville, and that night, after confirming that Harry could speak snake language, he asked Harry to recall if the sound he had heard on the night Lady Loris was petrified.

Harry didn't need to confirm this, as Neville already knew what had caught Harry's attention that night when Harry spoke to the Black Snake.

Instead of answering, Neville asked, "Did you tell Professor McGonagall about this?"

"I said it the day before yesterday. Harry said worriedly, "Professor McGonagall told me to keep it a secret and not to sue the other students. ”

"They must already be trying to catch the snake. "Maybe after Christmas, when I go back to school, I'll be back to the same thing." ”

"I hope so. ”

Obviously, Harry was very pessimistic about this, even if he knew that the sooner it was over, he would be able to regain his innocence.

Perhaps even if the snake was caught, it would not help, the ignorance, obedience, and indistinguishability of the students, but this time Harry had seen it, and he believed that people like Ernie McMillan would still find a new excuse to viciously attack him.

It was at this time that Harry made up his mind to catch the man behind the scenes.

Of course, it was almost impossible for him to do it alone, so he needed help.

"I decided that this holiday ......"

Just as Harry was about to state his intentions, the door to his dorm room was suddenly pushed open, and then bad news came.

"Justin and Nick were attacked!"

It was the third attack, and Justin and Nick, who was almost headless, were both attacked, which turned the already tense atmosphere into a real panic.

Strange to say, the most terrifying thing is what happened to Nick, who was almost headless, after all, it was a ghost, a dead man, what kind of terrible power could hurt a dead person?

At this time, Harry didn't care what the students thought of him, and squatted in the library, looking through all kinds of books about snakes.

Thanks to Hermione's help, he finally found information about the snake before the holidays came.

"Looks like that's it. ”

Harry borrowed the book, and at Professor McGonagall's request, he found a sparsely populated place to discuss with his friends. It wasn't that hard, and now the students were hiding away when they saw Harry, even those who claimed to be purebloods.

Looking at the hideous and ugly basilisk in the picture, Ron said with a relaxed expression: "Ha, this snake doesn't look so scary." ”

"Really?" Harry shrugged his shoulders, then pointed to the note next to him, "The basilisk is a large, dazzling green serpent that can reach up to fifty feet in length...... Its fangs are incredibly poisonous, but its most dangerous attack is to stare at its target with its large yellow eyes, and anyone who makes eye contact with it will be killed instantly...... This type of snake will have a very long lifespan. ”

The fifty-foot-long, venomous, snake-eyed gaze can be lethal and extremely long-lived......

The descriptors were stacked together, and you could see how terrible it was by looking at Ron's expression, and Harry's expression wasn't much better than Ron's at first.

Maybe Neville wasn't nervous at all, he felt that if this thing really had no weaknesses and was invincible in the world, he was afraid that he would come out and kill the Quartet long ago, so why sneak up on one today and one tomorrow.

And listening to Harry's analysis, as long as there is no direct eye contact, some of Yan zhòng is just petrified.

"What are you going to do?" asked Hermione, "we don't know anything but that there's a basilisk inside the chamber. It's likely that Professor McGonagall and they're stuck here too, and they should know about the basilisk too, but they can't get into the Chamber of Secrets. ”

"Only the descendants of Slytherin can open the Chamber of Secrets. Ron added, "Anyway, someone who can control a basilisk should also be able to speak snake language, right, maybe we can start from here......"

"Do you have a good idea?"

"Nope. ”

"So, let's get a powerful restorative first, and see if Colin can provide useful clues when they wake up. Harry looked at Neville and said, "Neville, I'll leave the matter to you. ”

"Hmm. ”

Tomorrow is the day of the holiday, and because of these attacks, many students who originally planned to stay in school have chosen to leave the school.

It's also a good thing, as there have been rumors lately that several Hogwarts attacks have spread out of the school, and the Ministry of Magic is ready to intervene.

Probably only a few people understand that this is not necessarily a good thing, as the purpose of the intervention may not be as simple as the Ministry of Magic claims to be.

Hogwarts, or the headmaster of Hogwarts, is not actually respected and welcomed by everyone.

Some of you who have lived long enough have remembered how the Headmaster of Hogwarts reluctantly stepped down from his position fifty years ago, just as he was succeeded by Albus Dumbledore, who was still teaching Transfiguration.

It seems like a reincarnation, fifty years, and for a principal, he should retire.

"Old man, you're old. ”

That's what many people want to say to the greatest wizard of our time.
