In the week following the second attack, almost all of the students were terrified, fearing that they would be attacked next. The black market between students has become extremely hot. Hiding from the teacher, everyone chattered and exchanged amulets, exorcisms and other toys to protect themselves. Among them, the Silver-branded talisman necklace is the best-selling. Silver's talisman necklace is made of amethyst, which is beautiful and elegant, and is particularly sought after by women. When someone questioned the protective efficacy of the talisman necklace, Silver wore the necklace in the school auditorium and asked the questioners to cast evil spells on him one by one, only to have these evil charms bounce back to the caster by the invisible stance provoked by the necklace - since then Silver brand talisman necklaces have been an instant hit, and sales have increased dramatically. Necklaces priced at ten Galleons are in short supply.

"A low-cost faux amethyst necklace that sells for ten Galleons for a cured protective charm, your heart is really black enough. "Ravenclaw, no, it's Doris who says that to Silver now.

"Doris, don't say it so badly. What is the heart black, this necklace is definitely worth ten Galleons, although I use the artificial amethyst produced by Muggle, but this necklace is exactly the style of the Ravenclaw relic necklace, the shape is beautiful and elegant. In particular, it also solidifies a protective charm, which is solidified on a small necklace, which is not something that just anyone can do. At a time of panic now, this beautiful and practical necklace sells for only ten Galleons, and it couldn't be cheaper. Silver argued.

"What excuse is it reasonable to steal the style of my necklace and steal the curing spell technique I taught you?"

"Where's this, Doris, listen to me explain to you......"

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

A week later, Silver and Hermione walked through the foyer together. Suddenly, a small group of people gathered around the bulletin board were seen, reading the text on a piece of parchment that had just been nailed. Harry and Ron were also in the crowd and saw Silver and Hermione, who both looked excited and beckoned them over.

"What's going on?" asked Silver Hermione.

"I don't know, maybe the two of them sold them the talisman necklace at half price to thank me. Silver snorted.

"They're going to start a dueling club!" Ron said excitedly.

"It's funny, are they trying to teach students how to duel Slytherin monsters?" Silver, looking at the sign on the wall with interest.

"Will you go, then?" said Harry.

"Go, of course, dueling club, sounds interesting. ”

At eight o'clock in the evening, the students returned to the auditorium. The long dining table vanished, and along one wall appeared a gilded stage, illuminated by hundreds of candles floating above. Once again, the ceiling was dark like velvet, and almost all the students in the school came, crowded one after another, each with their own wands and their faces full of excitement.

Hermione said, "I've been told that Flitwick was a dueling champion when he was younger, and maybe he taught us." ”

Silver shook his head, "According to Professor Flitwick's character, he wouldn't do such a thing. Only the best person to show off would be-"

Before Silver could finish his sentence, Gilderoy Lockhart walked onto the stage, dressed in a fuchsia robe. The man next to him was none other than Snape, still dressed in his usual black clothes. Lockhart waved everyone to silence, and then shouted loudly, "Come around, come around, can everyone see me, can you hear me? Great! That's right, Professor Dumbledore has allowed me to start this little dueling club, and train everyone enough in case you need to defend yourself one day, and defend yourself in the way I have used so many timesβ€”see my published work for more information. ”

"Let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape," said Lockhart, grinning widely, "and he told me that he knew a thing or two about dueling, and he generously agreed to assist me in a little demonstration before class. I mean, I don't want you little ones to worry - I'll give you back your Potions teacher intact when I'm done showing him, don't be afraid!"

"Wouldn't it be great if they fought to defeat both?" Ron muttered quietly. Snape's upper lip curled.

Lockhart and Snape turned to face each other and bowed. At least Lockhart bowed, his hands flipping in a lot of patterns, and Snape just shook his head impatiently. Then, they held their respective wands to their chests like arrows. "As you can see, we hold our wands in a normal duel position," Lockhart said to the silent crowd, "and we'll do the first magic on the count of three." Of course, neither of us will take the other's life. Lockhart whispered. "One-two-three-" The two slammed their wands over their shoulders at the same time. Snape shouted, "Get rid of your weapons!" Suddenly, a dazzling red light flashed, and Lockhart was knocked unsteady on his feet. He jerked backwards off the stage, slammed into the wall, and then slid down, curled up on the floor.

Malfoy and a few other Slytherin students applauded. Lockhart staggered to his feet, his hat falling off, and the wavy curls stood on end.

"Okay, you can see it!" He staggered back onto the stage and said, "It's a disarming spell - as you can see, I lost my wand - ah, thank you, Miss Brown. Yes, Professor Snape, it's a brilliant idea to show them this trick, but don't mind me when I say that, your intention is obvious. If I want to stop you, I don't have to do anything. I think it would be better to let them see ...... in order to increase their knowledge."

Snape looked murderous. Lockhart probably noticed it too, and heard him say, "This is the end of the demonstration! Now I'll come among you and divide you all into groups of two." Professor Snape, if you're willing to help me."

They weave their way through the crowd and pair everyone up. Lockhart asked Neville and Justin Finchrie to pair up, but Snape walked up to Harry and Ron first. "The Dream Team should break up, I think," he sneered, "Weasley, you can pair up with Finigan. Potterβ€”"

Harry subconsciously moved closer to Silver.

"I don't think Potter you'll be able to fight Silver. Snape said, smiling coldly, "Malfoy, come up here." Let's see what kind of person you can make the famous Potter become. ”

Malfoy walked over with a smug smile on his face.

"Raise your wand and get ready!" Lockhart exclaimed, "When I count to three, I'll cast a spell and disarm the other party's weapons - just disarm them - we don't want accidents." One-two-three-"

Both raised their wands above their heads at the same time and cast spells at each other. But the strange thing is that the spells of both sides are suddenly bounced back when they are about to hit each other, as if they have hit a wall. Harry laughed uncontrollably, and Malfoy twitched his legs and did a fast-paced dance.

"Stop!" He shouted, Malfoy's feet stopped dancing, Harry stopped laughing, and they both looked up.

"What's the matter, your spells are all snapped back. Lockhart said curiously.

Snape pursed his lips, "As far as I know, Mr. Silver sells a guardian necklace at Hogwarts that can bounce off the spells cast on him, and Potter and Malfoy must have worn it." ”

Silver said lightly on the side: "The products of the Silver family are always reliable, and the effect of the guardian necklace is very good." ”

Snape said sympathetically, "It's very useful, but Mr. Silver, we're training in duels right now, and with this necklace, it will affect the normal duel between the two sides." ”

"Of course this problem can be solved, and Mr. Potter and Mr. Malfoy both take off their necklaces and duel, but I must say that if they could have used a little more powerful magic, they would not have been ejected back by the protective necklace. A protective necklace can only protect the owner once in a short period of time. Like the two of them just now, the necklace resisted the enemy's first attack, and it couldn't stop the second attack of the spell that it bounced back from. Silver said.

"Then let Potter and Malfoy take off their necklaces and do it again. Lockhart raised his wand and waved it from side to side, trying to conjure up a complicated pattern, but accidentally dropped it on the ground. Snape sneered, and Lockhart hurriedly picked up his wand and said, "Ugh - my wand is a little overexcited." ”

Snape approached Malfoy and whispered to him for a few moments. Malfoy sneered. Harry looked up nervously at Lockhart and said something. But there was a lot of noise in the audience, and Silver couldn't hear anything.

β€œ

One-two-two-one-begin!" Lockhart shouted.

Malfoy raised his wand and roared, "Oolong out of the hole!" The head of his wand exploded. Everyone watched in horror, only to see a long black snake suddenly burst out of it, landed heavily on the floor between them, and then raised its head and prepared to attack. The crowd screamed, and quickly ducked backwards, making way for the clearing.

"Don't move, Potter. Snape said lazily, evidently relieved to see Harry standing motionless, staring at the angry serpent. "I'm going to get him away. "Let me come!" Lockhart shouted. He raised his wand and waved it menacingly at the snake, and suddenly, with a loud bang, the snake not only did not disappear, but sprang up more than a foot and fell heavily to the floor. It was furious, hissing and spitting out a letter that swam straight towards Justin Finchrie, and then, with its head raised and its fangs bared, it took an offensive stance.

At this moment, Harry suddenly made a strange move, he approached the big snake, and hissed like a snake from his mouth, as if he was instigating the snake to attack Justin Finchrie. -- It was unbelievable -- the snake collapsed on the floor, as soft as a pile of thick, black watering hoses.

Justin yelled at Harry, "What do you think you're playing?" Immediately after that, he turned and rushed out of the auditorium.

Snape stepped forward, waved his wand, and the snake turned into a puff of black smoke and vanished. Everyone was whispering, except for Harry, who looked bewildered and confused.

Ron went up and pulled Harry down. Silver led them briskly out of the Great Hall into a hallway where not many people would pass through.

"You're a parseltongue. Why don't you sue us?" Ron said eagerly.

"What am I?" Harry asked.

"Parseltongue!" Ron said, "You're going to talk to snakes!"

"I see," Harry said, "I mean, this is the second time I've done this. Once, in the zoo, I accidentally released a python, and the python pounced on my cousin Dudley - a long story, when the python told me that it had never been to Brazil, and I unknowingly released it, and I didn't mean to. I didn't know I was a wizard then" "A python told you that it had never been to Brazil?" Ron asked in a weak voice. "What's wrong?" "I bet a lot of people here can do that. ”

"No, that's not something the average man can do, Harry. Silver said. "Talking to snakes is not something that ordinary wizards can have. The Serpent Whisperer, or Parseltongue, is considered to be Salazar Slytherin's famous skill, and according to historical records, Slytherin's descendants also possessed this ability, but the Slytherin descendants disappeared silently - or died out or changed their surnames. This ability gradually faded from the wizard's memory. ”

"I'm afraid everyone can now think that Harry is related to Salazar Slytherin, in other words, you are suspected of being a Slytherin descendant. ”

"But I'm notβ€”" Harry argued.

"No one said you were, but Harry, Salazar Slytherin lived more than a thousand years ago, and we don't know much about what happened to the Slytherins. No one can tell you about your relationship with Slytherin. Based on the current evidence, it is highly likely that you are his descendant. Silver said.

Harry froze.

"Ron, I think you should take Harry back to the Gryffindor common room to get some rest, the fact that Harry is a parseltongue is just too damn......"
