In the alchemy classroom, Bernard sat in his chair and didn't know what he was thinking, while Hermione and Ron stood across from Harry, looking anxious.

"What's the matter, why are you all on this face?" Harry looked at Hermione and Ron strangely.

Hermione looked at Ron and was the first to speak, "Harry, how come you never told us you were a parseltongue!" Hermione's tone was angry, confused, concerned.

"I thought it was a normal ability, I mean when I was 11 years old, I released a Brazilian python in the zoo and he told me he went back to Brazil. I bet most of the wizards here can do it. Harry said innocently, and looked at Hermione, Bernard, and Ron.

Bernard's voice rang out, "Harry, talking to snakes isn't your usual ability, do you know why the Slytherin emblem is a snake?" Seeing Harry shaking his head blankly, Bernard said helplessly: "Harry, you really should read more often, Slytherin himself is not only an excellent potions master, but he is also the most famous Parseltongue wizard, and the ability of Parseltongue is also widely spread in the Slytherin family." ”

Seeing Harry's pale face, Bernard touched Harry's head and whispered, "With the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets open, Harry, your situation is not good. Harry stubbornly turned his head and said loudly, "I have nothing to do with Slytherin, I didn't open the Chamber of Secrets." ”

"Harry! The Potter family is also a very prominent pure-blood family, and it is very common for pure-blood families to marry each other, so! It's also possible that you have Slytherin blood in you. Hermione said as she looked at Harry earnestly.

"Hermione!"

"Harry, you don't have to worry about it, although the Parseltongue is famous because of Salazar Slytherin, but wizards and wizarding families with Parseltongue abilities are not nothing, just like Rowena Ravenclaw, this talented witch can also be Parseltongue, and even in modern times, I know that there are wizards who are proficient in Parseltongue, so don't worry too much about Harry."

Seeing that Harry's face finally recovered a little, Bernard changed the subject, asking why Harry had come to the Room of Need. Harry looked at Hermione, and seeing that Hermione didn't react, he told him what had happened before, and after listening, Bernard also glanced at Hermione, didn't say anything, and asked.

"Harry, are you saying you suspect that Draco opened the Chamber of Secrets?"

"Yes, Professor."

"Harry, don't let hostility obscure your eyes." Seeing that Harry seemed to want to refute, Bernard opened his mouth to explain: "Harry, maybe the Malfoy family is rich and influential now, but for Slytherin, who was born in the theory of blood, Malfoy only represents pureblood, not necessarily noble, there are many pure-blood families who are nobler than the Malfoy family. The wizarding world is huge, Harry, you have to look a little farther, if it is purely bloodline, the Potter family is much more noble than the Malfoy family. ”

Seeing that Harry seemed a little unhappy, Bernard smiled and continued: "But Harry's previous words still make sense, Professor Dumbledore also said that the last time the secret room was opened, a girl was killed, so the secret room really exists and has been opened. ”

"This is a very important clue, you can check it from this aspect, okay, it's late today, go back to sleep, the teacher is going to go on a night patrol later."

Blowing Harry and the others away, Bernard walked over to the Headmaster's office to see how the night patrol was arranged today.

……

Tired of walking back to his lounge, Bernard found that there was an extra mail bag on his desk, and threw the wizard's robe aside, Bernard picked up the mail bag, opened it and found that it was a letter and a magic book sent to him by his mentor.

Putting down the letter, Bernard's heart was hot, Tom Riddle was right, there were demons in this world, which Bernard had not expected before. In the past, when sorting out the manuscripts and magical knowledge of the previous life, Bernard ignored this aspect because he had not been exposed to the knowledge of demons, in fact, in the previous life, demonology was a very important magical discipline.

As far as I learned about Western mysticism in my last life, it is obvious that the power of magic is mainly spread in three civilizations, namely ancient Egypt, Hebrew civilization, and Greco-Roman civilization.

Although there are churches in this world, and even the church has led the campaign against wizards, but after careful exploration, Bernard found that the church does not have extraordinary powers, and even said that there is no god power in this world, and many scholars of the history of magic also attribute the early Muggle persecution of wizards to the imperfection of wizarding education, the instability of spell casting, the lack of popularity of wands, and other factors, and even some scholars specifically use witches during the witch eradication period to tease Muggles to hype up.

But Bernard has always had a doubt, that is, the power of wizards seems to have undergone a great decline, and similarly, Bernard suspects that the power of the church has also undergone a great decline, but the church has declined more completely, but the wizards, although they need to rely on wands to cast spells, but in the end they have retained their extraordinary powers.

But unfortunately, this precious knowledge has been destroyed by the war and some so-called protection movement of wizards, although Bernard has some suspicions, but it is difficult to investigate, but the current discovery makes Bernard very excited.

In some ancient black magic books, there are records of spells that summon and raise demons, but the demons summoned by these spells often turn back on the owner, which leads to many dark wizards abandoning this spell, but this is not the reason why this magic is really lost, the reason why this magic can't be found now is because this magic is invalid, I don't know when it started, no matter how many lives you sacrifice, you can't summon demons, that is, since then, the magic of demon summoning has been completely lost.

If it weren't for talking to Tom Riddle about the ritual magic he is good at, which led him to talk about the ritual of summoning demons, he might never have thought about it, right? It should be my own experiment in the future, either it doesn't work or I don't know what to summon, fortunately! Fortunately! Maybe I can have an extra hole card this time.

Picking up the magic book given to him by his mentor, Bernard read it carefully, although his body was very tired, his heart was hot, and perhaps something had to change.
