Chapter 77: Parseltongue
"Scared?" Draco said in a low voice, not wanting Lockhart to hear. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You dream. Harry squeezed the words out of the corners of his mouth.
Lockhart happily slapped Harry on the shoulder. "Just do what I did, Harry!"
"What, drop your wand on the ground?" Harry said sluggishly, and his answer caused the rest of the auditorium to burst into laughter.
Benjamin shook his head helplessly, feeling more and more that Lockhart was a big liar.
But Lockhart didn't listen to Harry at all, and he pretended to be relaxed and said to Harry, "No problem, Harry, I trust you!"
"One-three-two-one-start!" Lockhart waved his wand and shouted excitedly.
Draco nodded, and he quickly raised his wand and roared unexpectedly, "Oolong out of the hole!"
This is a magic that Benjamin has never heard of, and Daphne on the side suddenly showed a bad expression.
"How bad is the relationship between the two of them?" Daphne asked, a little surprised.
And Benjamin nodded very seriously after thinking for a moment, "It's not an exaggeration to say that two people have a deep hatred. ”
"Well, it's incredible. Daphne said helplessly.
At this point, the tip of Draco's wand exploded.
A puff of black smoke filled the air, and Harry stared in horror, his hands sweating so hard that he could barely hold his wand.
When the black smoke cleared, I saw a long black snake suddenly burst out of it, landed heavily on the floor between the two of them, and then raised its head and prepared to attack.
The black snake spat out a scarlet snake letter and its sharp teeth.
The onlookers screamed, and everyone quickly dodged back, making way for a wider clearing.
Benjamin frowned, he felt that Draco was clearly overexcited to use such magic in public. It hardly needed him to understand, it was definitely a black magic.
However, this black snake doesn't look that scary.
Benjamin looked at the black snake motionlessly, always having the illusion that it would speak in the next second.
"Don't move, Potter. Snape said lazily, then looked at the nervous crowd.
Apparently, Professor Snape felt a sense of relief when he saw Harry standing motionless, staring at the angry serpent.
"I'll get him away......" Professor Snape said briefly.
"Let me come!" Lockhart shouted, interrupting Snape very aggressively, and then not seeing Snape's already gloomy dripping face. Lockhart raised his wand, waved it menacingly at the snake, and muttered a spell that Benjamin didn't even understand.
Suddenly, only to hear a loud bang, the black snake not only did not disappear, but jumped up more than a foot high, and fell back to the floor heavily.
In an instant, the crowd, who were already trembling with fear, began a new round of screams.
The scream made the Black Snake furious, and it hissed and spat out the letter and swam straight towards Justin Finchpuff (a Hufflepuff student).
Immediately after, it raised its head, bared its fangs, and assumed an offensive posture.
Justin's legs began to tremble.
Benjamin and Daphne both shook their heads at the same time, looking sympathetically at the pale teenager.
Professor Snape's face finally became serious and serious, and he glanced at Lockhart, who was shrunk to the side, as if trying to minimize his presence.
"I, I may have been a little too excited just now, really, I'm still very experienced in dealing with an insignificant little snake. ”
Snape gave Lockhart a vicious look, and he finally shut his mouth.
"Snakes. Benjamin said softly, and he looked at the black snake, and for some reason, he remembered what Leonardo da Vinci had said to him.
Perhaps, he could try to talk to the black snake and get it to let Justin go, and then give Lockhart a bite?
However, Benjamin immediately gave up on this idea, and if he did, it is estimated that everyone would think that he was a monster.
At this time, Harry looked at poor Justin, feeling very distressed and guilty. He felt that it was all because of himself that he would cause such consequences.
Immediately afterward, Harry didn't understand why he did it, and he didn't even realize he had decided to do it. All he knew was that his legs were moving forward on their own, as if they were on small casters, and then he stupidly shouted at the snake, "Let him go!"
Benjamin, who was watching from the sidelines, understood this sentence, and his deep pupils suddenly tightened.
Draco, who had been standing motionless opposite Harry, suddenly lowered his wand in annoyance.
A miracle happened—it was incredible—and the snake, after listening to Harry's words, collapsed to the floor, supple as a pile of thick, black watering hoses, its eyes meekly fixed on Harry like his pet.
Harry felt his fear vanish little by little. He knew that the snake would not attack anyone again, and he could not tell how he knew.
Benjamin had been looking around, and it was not difficult for him to notice that there were many people who had not seen Harry behave like this, and they all had a not very friendly, even fearful expression.
Harry looked up at Justin and grinned. He thought he would see a relaxed, confused, or grateful look on Justin's face—but not anger and horror.
"What do you think you're up to?" Justin shouted angrily, and before Harry could speak, Justin turned and rushed out of the auditorium.
Professor Snape stepped forward and waved his wand, and the snake that had collapsed on the ground turned into a puff of black smoke and vanished. Snape looked at him with a look that surprised him: a cunning, scheming gaze.
At this point, the crowd around him was whispering ominously, and the center of their discussion was Harry.
Just then, someone tugged at the back of Harry's clothes, it was Ron.
"Let's go," Ron came to Harry's side, "Let's go, let's go!"
Benjamin watched as Ron led Harry out of the auditorium, and Hermione hurried beside them. When they went out, the people backed off to both sides, as if they were afraid of getting into trouble.
"Harry turned out to be a parseltongue. Draco said half excited, half sad.
Benjamin had heard the name more than once, but he still didn't realize what it meant.
