It's getting colder. The night before, there were only scattered snowflakes, and the next day it turned into a violent snowstorm. Due to the weather, the last session of the semester was cancelled. Professor Sprout had to put on socks and scarves for the mandrake, a job that needed to be taken seriously. The sound of an adult mandrake can be deadly, and Professor Sprout is not comfortable leaving it to his careless students. Moreover, these mandrakes are at stake for the lives of Lady Loriss and Colin Creevey. Professor Sprout decided to take matters into his own hands.

Silver sat on the sand near the stove, the glittering light of the fire shining on his slightly pale face. Padma sat at his feet with a book.

"Jack, what are you thinking? I haven't said a word for so long. Padma flipped the pages and asked casually. Silver sat up straight, straightened his somewhat disheveled head, and said, "I'm thinking about the two recent attacks, where the victims were assaulted, but not fatally, but petrified, which is weird. ”

"Now it is rumored that Harry Potter is the descendant of Slytherin, and it is he who unleashed the Slytherin monster to attack Lady Loris and Colin Creevey. Padma closed the book, "After all, Harry Potter doesn't have much enmity with them, and it's understandable that not killing them would just petrify them." ”

"I don't think so. Silver shook his head. "Harry Potter is a man who can sometimes be presumptuous, but he doesn't petrify Lady Loris and Colin Creevey for the sake of a small contradiction. Harry Potter has a certain personal heroism, and such a person would not do anything to instruct a monster to attack someone. Moreover, even if Harry Potter is really a descendant of Slytherin, then the first person he will deal with will be Draco Malfoy. ”

"The legend of the Chamber of Secrets is that the descendants of Slytherin will have monsters cleanse all Muggle-blooded people, with the exception of Draco Malfoy. Padma said.

"If Harry Potter is really a Slytherin descendant, then he must have a lot of Slytherin qualities. Slytherin is only kind to his own people, but this definition of his own people is very harsh. Being a wizard doesn't count, being a classmate doesn't count, being a Slytherin doesn't necessarily count, or even being a pure-blood. Harry Potter didn't approve of Draco Malfoy. If Harry Potter was a descendant of Slytherin, we should have heard of Malfoy's death two weeks ago. Silver patiently explained, his lake-blue eyes glinting with an inexplicable light.

At this moment, two people suddenly came in from the door of the Ravenclaw common room, it was Hermione and Parvati-

They hurried to Silver. "Jack, something happened again. Justin Finchrie and Nick, who was almost headless, were attacked!" Parvati said eagerly.

"Don't worry, sit down and talk slowly. Silver stood up and gave the sand to Parvati and Hermione.

"Just now, Justin Finchrie and Nicol, who was almost headless, were attacked, Justin Finchrie was petrified, and Nicol, who was almost headless, was also black and motionless. Parvati breathed a sigh of relief before speaking.

"Ghosts are also attacked?" Silver muttered. "What kind of attack can hurt a dead ghost?"

"Now the problem is that people saw Harry Potter at the scene of the attack, and now everyone suspects that he was the real murderer. Because he was near the low point of the crime at the time of the three attacks. Hermione said.

"I think the main thing is that the last time he showed off his Parseltongue ability at the Duelist Club, which was very disturbing. Silver shrugged. "In wizarding fairy tales, the Parseltongue is portrayed as the possession of powerful and evil dark wizards, which is the real reason for the students to panic and think that Harry Potter is suspected of committing crimes. ”

"But we don't have to worry about anything at all. Professor Dumbledore would have judged correctly. After all, Harry Potter is the boy who never dies, the hero who fought off the Dark Lord. No one is going to put him in Azkaban without proof," Silver winked at the girls. "Instead of worrying about Harry, who won't have an accident, why don't you think about how to spend Christmas?"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Make way for the heirs of Slytherin, the most evil wizard will drive to ......" George and Fred could be heard shouting from far away in the hallway. Ever since Justin Finchrie and Nicol, who had almost lost his head, they had been shouting after Harry in the hallway. Of course, Peeves' "Oh, Potter, you nasty" accompaniment.

Silver stepped forward, "Harry, why do you look listless?" ”

"Would you be happy if it were you? Harry gestured angrily at the funny Weasley brothers behind him. They strung garlic into necklaces around their necks and held an amulet-like object in their hands pretending to fend off Harry's attacks.

"Of course I won't be happy, but I won't be as depressed as you are. Silver motioned for Harry to look behind him - Draco Malfoy walked by with a gloomy face.

"Obviously, the students of Slytherin are very jealous of the glory that you are considered a Slytherin descendant. ”

"But I don't think it's glory!"

"Don't get excited, Harry. I know you don't like to be associated with Slytherin. But don't be so frustrated. Silver patted Harry on the shoulder and walked away.

Silver descended the stairs, past a dimly lit hallway with the words shining on the walls. Came to the door of the weeping myrtle's bathroom.

"Doris, I think this bathroom is very problematic, come and take a look. Silver turned to the soul inside the necklace for help.

"You suspect this has something to do with Salazar's old bastard's secret room? Doris said suspiciously. "Salazar, that old bastard isn't that perverted yet. ”

"Hey, this bathroom is a bit weird, I feel the smell of snakes, you go in and take a closer look. Doris said.

"I hope I don't touch myrtle. Silver prayed to himself. He pushed the door open: thankfully, Myrtle wasn't sitting on the toilet. Silver began to inspect the pool carefully.

"Look at this, Doris. Silver pointed to a bronze dragon headβ€”a small snake carved into the side of the dragon's head. Silver unscrewed the faucet, but not a drop of water came out.

"Don't try again, this should be the old bastard Salazar's doing. Doris looked a little bit gnashing her teeth. "This old bastard is really perverted, and he has set up a mechanism here. This faucet is supposed to be the entrance to the secret room, but it seems that a special password is required to enter. ”

"Can't you force your way in?"

"Okay, I guess you can try it when you have Dumbledore's magic power. ”

"Well, when I didn't ask. Silver said helplessly. "Rumor has it that only Slytherin heirs can open the Chamber of Secrets, and it seems that the key to opening the Chamber of Secrets is the Parseltongue. ”

"Are you going to call Harry Potter?" asked Doris.

"I don't have that intention. Silver laughed to himself. "I don't have the confidence to deal with the monsters left behind by Slytherin over a thousand years ago. ”
