Having just finished listening to Snape's debriefing, Dumbledore was pacing back and forth in his study.

Agreeing to Lockhart's offer to host a dueling club seemed to have gained far more than he expected, and even he himself didn't expect Harry to be a Parseltongue.

In Dumbledore's memory, there had never been a Parseltongue in the Potter family in the past, and Harry's abilities were obviously not inherited from the family.

When Dumbledore saw young Harry, he realized that the magical scar on his forehead was unusual.

All these years, Dumbledore had been speculating about what the scar meant.

Now it's finally coming to fruition.

Perhaps, the lightning scar gave Harry some unusual connection to Voldemort.

Although it is still speculation, Dumbledore believes that Voldemort most likely transferred some of his soul to Harry on the night of his failed murder, giving Harry the ability to talk to snakes.

Otherwise, the Sorting Hat wouldn't have thought that Harry would be a good fit for Slytherin House and that Slytherin House would help him to glory.

You know, none of the Potter family were sorted into Slytherin House.

If it weren't for the discovery that Harry was a parseltongue, he wouldn't even have made such a bold assumption.

Ever since learning that Voldemort made Horcruxes, Dumbledore has been quietly researching how to destroy Horcruxes.

Entrusting one's soul to a living creature is undoubtedly a very risky approach, and with Voldemort's prudence, it is clear that he will not risk his own life.

So it can only be an accident.

However, Harry's Parseltongue is good news for now.

Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets requires a Parseltongue to open, and if the prisoner is not found until the end, Harry will have to rely on Harry to open the Chamber of Secrets and disarm the Basilisk from the threat to Hogwarts teachers and students.

Of course, Dumbledore didn't want to do that unless he had to, and it was obviously not a good thing to let enemies hiding in the shadows stay at Hogwarts House.

No one knows what will happen if they don't find each other, and the so-called heir of Slytherin is likely to be Voldemort's Horcrux.

If you want to kill Voldemort completely, you need to destroy all of Voldemort's Horcruxes, and Dumbledore doesn't intend to pass up this good opportunity.

After all, a person's soul is not a cake, and it cannot be cut at will, and once it is cut too much, the soul will become very unstable, and nothing will happen to anyone.

Dumbledore believed that the number of Horcruxes produced by Voldemort should be limited, and that they could destroy one by one to reduce Harry's pressure as much as possible.

A scream erupted in the Headmaster's office, interrupting Dumbledore's thoughts, and a fireball rose from a gilded perch not far behind the door.

"It's finally begun!"

Dumbledore walked up to the perch and smiled at the chick poking its head out of the ashes.

"Grow up, I'll need your help soon. Dumbledore reached out and picked up the chicks, sat down behind the table, took out the food prepared in advance, and fed the chicks some food to let it recover some strength as soon as possible.

He placed the chick in the warm nest and glanced at the hourglass on the table, ready to have the house-elf come and take care of the young Fawkes.

As Dumbledore withdrew his gaze, he inadvertently swept over a glass orb in the corner.

"This seems to be ......"

Dumbledore reached out and pinched the hot glass orb, carefully examining the slightly rough object in front of him, he remembered that this thing seemed to be brought by Hagrid last time, saying that it was a prop made by Albert Anderson, it seemed to be called ...... Detection Ball, which detects dark creatures.

"What a guy to be reckoned with. Dumbledore felt the temperature coming from the detection orb and fell into a brief memory.

From Hagrid's mouth, he learned that Mr. Anderson had deduced that the monster in the secret room was most likely the legendary basilisk.

Perhaps, Mr. Anderson has already found the approximate location of the Chamber of Secrets.

Dumbledore remembered the last time Albert had taken him to the tiara, and he couldn't help but be in danger, and he was impressed. Perhaps, this time he will take himself to the secret room.

Most geniuses are usually ambitious, just like they once were, and now Dumbledore only hopes that his old buddies will guide Albert down the right path.

As for whether the basilisk would pose a threat to Albert, Dumbledore was not worried, he knew that Albert was very cautious, and it was impossible to be defenseless when he knew that there was a basilisk.

If Albert knew Dumbledore's thoughts, he would definitely spittle in the face.

At the moment, Albert was testing the approximate effective detection range of the detection ball with Hagrid, and the results were not satisfactory, the range that could be detected was too wide, at least 500 feet.

If you don't use it in schools, the wider the range, the better, but if you use it in schools, the scope is too wide, and the whole school will be enveloped, so there is no point.

"You don't seem to be satisfied?"

Hagrid threw the frozen Grindillo to the fireplace, plucked the copper kettle from the stove, and made Albert a cup of hot tea.

"I found that the detection ball is used in the castle and has a bunch of drawbacks. Albert put the hot detection ball in the room, took a sip from the teacup, and said a little depressed, "Perhaps, I should improve it a little." ”

"It's best to be able to mark or point out the location of dark creatures. "It would be nice if it could be done before the Christmas holidays." ”

"The difficulty can be a bit high. Albert looked sideways at Hagrid and asked, "You don't want to use this thing to find the monster that's hiding!"

"Can't you?" Hagrid withheld his thoughts.

"I suggest you give up anyway. Albert was not optimistic about Hagrid's idea.

The detection ball is just a detection and early warning device specially created by Albert in order to prevent himself from being attacked by a basilisk, and it only has the function of detection and early warning.

Albert didn't expect this thing to become a radar for detecting dark creatures, and he didn't think he could do it anytime soon.

Seeing Hagrid's lost expression, Albert casually diverted the subject, "Have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"Harry is a parseltongue. ”

"Harry is a parseltongue?" Hagrid looked shocked, "How can he be a parseltongue, tell me what the hell is going on." ”

Albert told Hagrid about the last time he was in the Dueling Club.

"Now the whole school is suspecting that Harry is the heir to Slytherin. Albert said to Hagrid, "He's not having a good time." ”

"How could Harry go back and attack others, these are all slanders!" Hagrid looked excited, he himself had a precedent for being slandered, and he definitely didn't want Harry to follow in his footsteps.

"Alright Hagrid, don't get excited. Albert whispered reassuringly, "I don't think Slytherin would want their heir to be a Gryffindor student." ”

"Is Harry really a parseltongue?" Hagrid asked suddenly.

"Yes. However, Parseltongue is only a rare ability, and there are actually great and kind wizards in history who are Parseltongue. Albert calmly explains: "There is no such thing as good or bad ability. ”

"You're right. Hagrid agrees with Albert.
