Founder? Which founder? Godric Gryffindor? Harry hurriedly asked, desperately wishing there was a great man in history who had the same skills as himself.

"It's Salazar Slytherin.." Ivan extinguished the illusion in Harry's mind.

"That's terrible!" Harry wailed.

Although there were no rumors of a Slytherin heir opening the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts, Harry did not want to have anything to do with the legendary founder of Slytherin House.

Ivan shook his head, ignoring Harry's grumblings.

In fact, if it weren't for the influence of Voldemort's Horcruxes, the Parseltongue would still be a good ability, at least Ivan would want it now...

Back in his dormitory, Ivan avoided Harry and Ron's gaze and found the Horcrux journal he had been keeping for a long time.

As soon as I opened it, the black ink appeared on the blank page for the first time.

[Hals, what are you doing these days?] 】

The handwriting was very sloppy, and Ivan even felt a hint of resentment in it, and after smiling, Ivan took the pen and explained it in his diary.

[I've joined the Quidditch team, and I've been busy with my teammates lately, and I've been very busy lately...]

Ivan filled the pages in his diary complaining about his current situation and some daily troubles.

Tom also responded to Ivan's distress with great patience, without the slightest impatience.

For a while, both of them regarded each other as their bosom friends, and even exchanged some unknown little secrets with each other...

Ivan realized that the heat was almost over, so he wrote a character in his diary, "By the way, Tom, do you know this thing?" ”

The pages of the journal were broken up and regrouped into a series of words.

Where did you see it? 】

"I stumbled upon it? What's wrong, Tom? Is there anything wrong with these characters? Ivan asked instead of getting the characters.

Tom was silent for a few moments, and just when Ivan was impatient enough to think that the other man would not speak, a new handwriting appeared in the journal again.

[This is the language of snakes, or maybe this is a text created by Salazar Slytherin based on the language of snakes, which has strange powers...]

Ivan looked at the words in the diary and fell into deep thought, when he learned that the characters were related to the snake language.

Ivan was vaguely aware that what he was looking for might involve Salazar Slytherin, one of the Big Four.

The book "The Origin of the Bloodline", which records the history of the long past... Could it have been Salazar Slytherin left a thousand years ago?

Thoughts passed through Ivan's mind, and the movements of his hands did not stop, and Ivan cautiously asked Tom to learn snake language.

Do you want to learn snake language? Why? Tom said confusedly.

"Didn't you say that it was written by Slytherin himself, and that it had strange powers? Of course I want to learn—" Ivan replied casually, then asked rhetorically.

"What about you, Tom? Why can you understand snake language? ”

Because I have the blood of my ancestor, the great Salazar Slytherin, in my veins! Snake language is not something that ordinary people can learn, only people with special bloodlines can master it! 】

On the blank page, the black ink blots converged into words, and even if there were only words, Ivan could feel Tom Riddle's pride and pride from the bottom of his heart.

However, Ivan didn't believe Tom's words, as far as he knew, Dumbledore could also use snake language, and the old headmaster was not a Slytherin offspring.

As long as he can learn something, no matter how difficult it is, Ivan has the confidence to learn it, so he will not give up and let Tom teach him again.

Tom replied quickly this time.

[Yes, but I'm just a memory with no power, I can't pronounce it, and it's not easy to teach you.] Can you find a creature and kill it? I need to cast spells with the help of this, like your owl...]

"Coo~" Maca, who was dozing off in the cage, suddenly shivered, and looked around in horror, and Ivan reached out to calm it down.

"I'm sorry, Maca is my best friend... I wouldn't hurt it. Ivan decisively refused.

[And so can the other creatures... Mouse? Spider? Snake? 】

Tom says he's not a picky eater and eats everything...

Ivan was hesitant, he knew the details of the Horcrux diary, so he didn't dare to let it absorb vitality and restore its strength.

[Are you hesitating? Don't you believe me? We're best friends... 】

Tom's words appeared clearly on the blank paper, printed deep and deep, and the pages were shaking slightly.

Ivan was keenly aware that his hesitation seemed to make Tom suspicious, so he hurriedly remedied.

"Of course I believe you, Tom!"

"However, I'm scared of the dark magic that you said looks like a danger, and—" Ivan deliberately showed a hint of timidity at this point, and continued.

"My mom used to tell me that it's better not to believe in anything that is self-conscious... You must understand me, right? Tom? We're best friends..."

Ivan, who is well versed in all kinds of routines, knows very well that when an opponent plays an emotional card, the best way to respond is to respond with another emotional card.

As my best friend, I believe in you, and you have to understand me...

Tom Riddle had a headache, and Ivan's words made him really not know how to answer, this was definitely the most difficult little wizard he had ever seen.

Seeing that Tom was silent for a long time and did not reply, Ivan moved his mind and wrote in his diary.

"Well, I'll take you to Professor Dumbledore and see if he has any magic to restore your strength."

The diary began to shake violently, and in less than a second, the two pages of white paper that were opened were already covered with ink, and they looked crooked and scribbled...

[No, don't, don't go to him!] 】

[Hals, don't be fooled by your headmaster's crazy appearance... He's not a good guy! 】

......

Ivan didn't expect Tom to react so much when he only mentioned Dumbledore slightly.

Just as he was about to appease the other party, the many inkblots on the diary finally gathered together again, forming a series of words covering two pieces of paper, and the deliberately enlarged and bold handwriting occupied Ivan's sight...

[If you don't believe me, I can take you to see it myself!! 】
