Chapter 39: Collapse and Collapse
No one cared about the Dueling Club anymore, and Aven, Ron, and Hermione pulled Harry out of the auditorium, and Colin and Ginny hurriedly followed.
People backed down in both directions, as if they were afraid of getting into trouble.
Harry looked confused, he didn't understand what was going on, and the others didn't explain anything, just dragged him all the way to the empty Gryffindor common room.
Then, Ron pushed Harry into an armchair and said, "You're a parseltongue, why didn't you tell us?"
"What am I?" asked Harry, surprised.
"Parseltongue! You can talk to snakes!"
"I know. Harry said, "I mean, this is the second time I've done this." Once at the zoo, I accidentally released a python and the python pounced on my cousin Dudley, which is a long story, but I bet many people here can do it. ”
"Oh, they can't," Ron wrinkled, "it's not a common feat, Harry. ”
"yes, that's bad!" added Ginny, who was sitting next to Aven, with a pale face.
"What's bad?" Harry raised his voice, "what's wrong with all the people?" listen, if I hadn't told the snake not to attack Justin"
"Oh, that's what you said to him?"
"Ron, what do you mean, you were there, you, Aven, Hermione, Colin, Ginny, you were all here, you should have heard me. ”
"Actually, all I hear is your hissing voice. Colin stumbled, "I don't know what that means, but I feel like it's not normal." ”
"That's Parseltongue, Colin!" Ron explained, "that's the language of snakes." ”
"You say I speak the language of snakes?!" Harry's eyes widened.
"That's right, everyone didn't understand, and it was possible for you to say anything at the time. No wonder Justin was terrified, listening to the sound of your voice, it was as if you were encouraging the snake, and the scene was really creepy. ”
"That's right!" Colin and Ginny nodded in unison.
Harry stared at them dumbfounded, "But I didn't realize how I could speak another language and not know it!"
Ron shook his head, looking heavy.
Colin and Ginny had horror written on their faces, Hermione sat silently, she took a book from the pile and flipped through it quickly, while Evan looked down in deep thought, not knowing what she was thinking. The atmosphere gradually became heavy, as if someone had died.
"Well, would you like to tell me what's wrong with stopping an ugly snake from biting Jia Xinting's head off!" Harry suddenly shouted, "As long as Justin doesn't join the headless ghosts, what does it matter what I do?"
"It matters!" Hermione finally spoke, turning a page of the book in her hand and placing it in front of Harry, "Look here, being able to talk to snakes is Salazar Slytherin's famous skill, he was the first to prove Parseltongue ever. So, the symbol of Slytherin House is a snake. ”
Harry's mouth widened as he looked at the book in front of him.
"Exactly, Harry. Ron continued, "Now, the whole school will think that you are his great-great-great-grandson or something, especially now that the secret room has been opened, which is not good. ”
"But I'm not, it can't be the secret room I opened. There was an inexplicable panic in Harry's tone.
"I believe you, Harry!" Ginny said in a crying voice.
"We all believe in you, but you'll find it hard to prove it. Hermione said calmly, "Salazar Slytherin lived about a thousand years ago, and from all that we know, you are likely to be his descendant. ”
"It's ridiculous, that's why everyone else was avoiding me just now. ”
Harry stood up abruptly, turned to look at Aven, who had not spoken, and said with a last glimmer of hope, "Aven, you don't think I'm the heir of Slytherin like them, or go to open the Chamber of Secrets or something, do you?"
"Of course not, I'm not surprised that you speak snake language. ”
"Relax, Harry! Although the Parseltongue is a very rare talent, it is not unique, and there are many wizards besides Slytherin and his descendants who can do it. I can name a few right now if I need to. ”
Aven's words made Harry look a lot more relieved, but there was one thing he didn't say, and that was that the wizards who were found to have the talent of the parseltongue, except for Salazar Slytherin himself, all ended up being evil dark wizards, no exception.
"Actually, I'd like to know more about what kind of spell Ron just attacked me than this one?" Evan turned his gaze to Ron who was standing aside.
"W-what!"
Ron's face turned red, "I just said it, that's just a weapon to remove you, maybe my wand made it mutate." ”
"Come on, Ron!" Evan waved his hand impatiently, "That's what I fooled Snape, if a broken wand could mutate a disarming spell into advanced dark magic, then Dark wizards would be all over the streets." ”
"What did you say?!" Hermione said in surprise, "Dark magic?!"
"That's right, that spell is definitely a dark magic, that's why Snape asked Ron if he had peeked at the books in the ** section, he must know something. ”
"But I didn't," Ron explained in alarm.
"Who knows!" Evan stared at Ron, "maybe that's not you." ”
"Not me?" Ron repeated in confusion, his anger surging up, "Aven, what the hell do you mean? It's funny, do you think I'm something that I mixed in with the Polyjuice Potion and turned into Ron's appearance?"
He let out a shrill laugh, Colin and Ginny cowered in fear on the couch, and Harry and Hermione looked confused, unsure of what Evan meant.
"I don't think Ron was impersonated. Hermione hesitated and said, "Aven, there's been so much going on lately, you might be too stressed. ”
"That's right, the joke isn't funny at all. Harry shook his head, "Is it April Fool's Day, I was considered the heir of Slytherin for saving Justin, and Ron is now suddenly the evil Dark Wizard." ”
"However, it is very easy for a dark wizard to control a person's mind. ”
"What the hell do you mean?!" Ron shouted.
"Where were you on Halloween, when the first attack happened?" asked Evan coldly.
"I'm in that damn bathroom, apologizing to the crying myrtle!"
"That's no one to prove it!" the corners of Aiwen's mouth turned up slightly, "Where were you during the second attack?"
"Accompanying Percy in the school infirmary, of course, because of your ridiculous Iron Armor Charm, my brother's left hand bone is gone. ”
"No, you're not there!"
Evan shook his head, "Let's be honest, Ron, you left the hospital shortly after we left, and no one knows where you went. ”
"But what does it matter, everyone is gone!" Ron looked hysterical, "if anyone who wasn't with you at the time of the attack was suspected, then the entire school was the heir to Slytherin." ”
"But you're the only one who can cast the full Corrupting Spell with that broken wand. Evan squinted, "Isn't that so!"
