Chapter 78: Rumors Spread

"What does it mean to be a parseltongue?" Benjamin finally couldn't help but ask, as he noticed that Draco and Daphne were both tacitly acknowledged. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You don't know?" said Pansy, with some surprise, and explained to Benjamin in a serious tone.

"The parseltongue is the language of snakes, and as long as you learn it, you can talk to snakes. ”

Of course Benjamin knew it, and he understood the language as well.

"It's just that not everyone knows the Parseltongue," Pansy said after looking around a little nervously before making sure there was no one else, "it's the hallmark of Salazar Slytherin, and almost only the descendants of Salazar Slytherin can learn the Parseltongue." Therefore, everyone was so scared just now, because they thought that Potter was a descendant of Salazar Slytherin. ”

It immediately became clear to Benjamin that the easiest connection with Salazar Slytherin was the secret room that terrified everyone.

"So they all think Harry is the heir to the Chamber of Secrets?" asked Benjamin, a little surprised, the inference looking flawless and worthy of scrutiny.

As for the voice that only he and Harry could hear, it was basically settled at this point.

That's the voice of the snake.

Could it be that the monster locked up in this secret room is a snake?

Benjamin, however, did not feel that a huge snake roamed Hogwarts and had never been seen.

Moreover, Lady Loris and the opening of the Chamber of Secrets, both Benjamin and Draco understood, could never have been done by Harry.

All of this seems to be even more complicated.

Perhaps Harry had Slytherin blood, perhaps some branch like Leonardo da Vinci.

However, no one can say whether there will be another person in the school.

Draco listened to Benjamin's words and nodded. "Yes, I hate to admit it, but at the moment it seems that Potter is the most likely successor to Slytherin. And the kid who had an accident not long ago seems to have something to do with Potter. ”

"His name is Colin. Benjamin reminded.

"Oh, whatever, it's a stone statue now, anyway. Draco said with some nonchalant.

Pansy gave Draco a blank look, then grumbled, "How did you use that magic just now, it really scared the hell out of me!"

Draco was a little ashamed to face the reproachful gazes of the three people at this time, so he had to explain with some embarrassment, "Just now, I was probably in a little depressed just now, so I didn't control it. ”

Pansy shrugged her shoulders with a helpless expression.

"Well, you said that. ”

When they returned to the Slytherin common room, almost everyone was discussing Harry's affairs.

Obviously, the sudden addition of a parseltongue in the school is very exciting news.

Benjamin casually found a couch and sat down, listening with interest to the men's speculation.

"I've heard people say that Potter was chosen by the Sorting Hat for Slytherin, but he didn't want to. ”

"It would be nice if he came to Slytherin. A girl whispered.

Benjamin couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Draco shake his head.

"He's in Gryffindor, what's the matter? look at us, there's Draco, there's Daphne, there's Benjamin. Which one of them is worse than Potter!" Pansy said excitedly, even though Daphne tugged at the corner of her coat and didn't stop Pansy.

"That's right, Benjamin was really handsome just now......"

Soon, the group shifted the subject.

And the three people who were at the center of the topic also consciously left the group of people who were discussing.

After a few days, Benjamin was tired of Harry's speculation, and some people had already said that Harry was actually the reincarnation of Slytherin.

"Benjamin, do you want to go to the library together at noon?" Daphne suggested earnestly, sitting in front of Benjamin. The two of them had the same course, and there were no classes in the afternoon.

Benjamin thought for a moment and agreed to Daphne's request. "Is it about your magazine?"

Daphne chuckled, but didn't answer. Instead, he took out a thick stack of envelopes from his bag.

"What are these?" asked Benjamin, puzzled, as he looked at the still scented envelopes.

"They?" Daphne looked up and smiled smugly, "they're love letters from others." I've been getting this stuff every day since that day at the Dueling Club. ”

Daphne sighed, a helpless expression.

Benjamin swore that if Pansy was here at this time, and heard this, she would have been mad.

"I thought you'd be very, proud?" Benjamin thought for a moment, and finally found a suitable word.

Daphne shook her head, "Proud? I don't know most of the people who wrote to me, and they only wrote to me because of my, well, beauty." ”

Both laughed at the same time.

Benjamin, on the other hand, watched quietly as Daphne unwrapped all the love letters and burned them with magic.

"None of them are satisfied?"

Benjamin asked, confused.

Daphne shook her head, "I'm only in second grade now, let's wait until next year." ”

Both men fell silent in unison.

After lunch, Benjamin and Daphne went to the library.

Draco was pestered by Astoria with an impatient expression.

At this time, the library was overcrowded, and I don't know if it was because it was almost the end of the semester.

Benjamin and Daphne searched for a long time before they found a corner where no one was and sat down.

Daphne leaned down and was about to look for something from her bag when an unfamiliar voice came from next door.

"So, anyway," said a rough boy's voice, "it's wise that my name is Justin hiding in our dorm. I mean, if Potter is determined to kill him, he'd better go into hiding for a while. Of course, Justin had expected this to happen ever since he accidentally slipped out to Potter that he was a natural Muggle. Justin even told Potter that he had attended Eton College. For Slytherin descendants, you can't just say that, can you?"

"So, Ernie, can you be sure it's Potter?" an anxious voice sounded, a female voice.

"Hannah," the boy's voice came back to the boy, "he's a parseltongue." Everyone knows that this is the sign of a dark wizard. Have you ever heard of a decent wizard who can talk to snakes? They call Slytherin himself the snake talker. ”
