Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 598: A waste of time
Lee Jordan's wish to hang Lockhart was not fulfilled until the end of the dueling club.
The Defence Against the Dark Arts professor seems to have seen through Lee Jordan's sinister intentions, and every time he asks for guidance, Lockhart pretends not to hear and ignores him.
Lee Jordan complained a lot about it on the way back to the Gryffindor common room, but no one wanted to listen to him. Everyone was talking about Harry Potter being Parseltongue, and even going back to the lounge, they would look around for Harry Potter first.
"Is Harry Potter really not the heir to Slytherin?"
Lee Jordan, who had just sat down, babbled about what happened at the dueling club.
No way, Parseltongue is one of the symbols of Slytherin, and it's not surprising that everyone thinks that way.
"Shut up!"
Fred shoves a biscuit into Lee Jordan's mouth in an attempt to quiet him.
"Everyone is curious."
Lee Jordan took a bite of the biscuit and muttered indistinctly.
The next moment, this guy becomes a canary.
"Another **** canary cookie." Lee Jordan couldn't help complaining, "Don't give me that stuff again."
"What do you think." George threw the question directly to Albert.
"Slytherin's heir should be a Parseltonian." Albert drank the hot cocoa in his cup and calmly analyzed: "The Harry Potter incident gave me an inspiration."
"What inspired?" the three asked in unison.
"The symbol of Slytherin is a snake. Anything related to the heir of Slytherin is very likely to be related to snakes. Parseltongue is one of them. Perhaps, it may be necessary to use Parseltongue to open the Chamber of Secrets. , the monsters in the secret room are probably also related to snakes, and monsters related to snakes are rare."
"You make a lot of sense." Fred nodded and said, as expected of Albert, his brain is good.
"Feeling one step closer to the truth." Lee Jordan gave Albert a thumbs up.
"Do you have a target of suspicion?" George asked suddenly.
"Well, there is indeed a suspect target." Albert nodded and admitted, "However, if you can't find the secret room, even if you have a suspect target, it's useless."
"What is it?"
All three are curious about it.
"A terrifying monster called a basilisk." Albert pointed to a book on the bedside table, "basilisks are dangerous, but a Slytherin heir should be able to control a basilisk with his Parseltonian tongue. ."
"My God!"
The three turned to the bookmarked page and couldn't help exclaiming.
"I know what you're trying to say, but..." Albert made a shush, "Remember, don't talk nonsense about this, the principal and professors should already be looking into this matter, Harry Potter's suspicion is indeed not small, but I still think he should not do it."
"Also, as long as the petrified student returns to normal, he will be able to testify to the culprit." After drinking the hot cocoa, Albert soaked his feet in hot water, reapplied the ointment, wrapped a bandage and went to bed. .
However, several of his roommates are doomed to lose sleep tonight.
Of course they believed Albert's judgment, but after learning that there was a basilisk hidden in the castle, they felt an inexplicable unease in their hearts.
Several people gathered together and whispered for a long time, finally remembering that the Slytherin heir seemed to only attack Muggle wizards, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
All three are pure blood wizards. Albert, who was born in a Muggle family, is obviously in a more dangerous situation than them. He can be so calm now, what is he afraid of
Then, who couldn't sleep, they started discussing again whether to keep a rooster in the dormitory for Albert's safety.
What they didn't know was that Albert had actually let the house-elves keep several roosters.
……
Ever since Harry Potter exposed himself as a Parseltongue at the dueling club, his reputation has taken a turn for the worse.
No way, Parseltongues are so notorious in history that everyone almost instinctively avoided him, as if Harry had some kind of terrifying deadly germ on his body, or if he spoke, he would open his fangs and spit it out venom.
"What's wrong with your feet?" Hermione noticed that Albert was walking a little oddly.
"I was trampled." Albert said casually, and then changed the subject: "Is Harry Potter really a Parseltongue?"
Hermione didn't really want to talk about it here, they both noticed that everyone else around was pricking up their ears to eavesdrop on this conversation.
"I'm not suspecting that Harry is Slytherin's heir," Albert said to Hermione. "I'm just suspecting that only Parseltongue can open the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets."
Ron, who is playing wizard chess next to him, can't help but slander: Aren't you just suspecting that Harry is the heir to Slytherin?
"You probably didn't understand what I meant." Albert looked at Hermione, who had a stunned expression, and reminded: "Why did no one find Slytherin's secret room before?"
Before Hermione could answer, Albert continued, "Because they're not Parseltongue, they can't find the Chamber of Secrets, but Harry Potter is different, he might be able to find Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, and Use Parseltongue to open the Chamber of Secrets."
Both Hermione and Ron stared blankly at Albert, not realizing the meaning of Albert's words for a while.
"However, if you find the secret room, don't enter the secret room without authorization. You must ask the professors for help." Before turning to leave, Albert added, "I know you don't plan to go back during the Christmas holidays."
"What did he mean?"
Ron asked after using a knight to give Hermione's king to a general.
"He should mean that Parseltongue is the key to unlocking the Chamber of Secrets." Hermione thought for a moment and said, "Maybe, we should do something."
Actually, Hermione had already guessed, but she didn't expect Harry to speak Parseltongue.
"What do you mean?"
"Try to find the location of the secret room." Hermione said in a low voice, "This is probably what Albert gave us just now!"
"But, do you know the location of the secret room?" Ron asked angrily.
Hogwarts Castle is not small, I don't know where to find the Year of the Monkey, and there is a terrifying monster hidden in the secret room.
To be honest, Ron doesn't want to provoke the monsters in the secret room at all, it's not a terrible existence that a few of them can fight against.
A short while later, Harry came back looking grumpy.
He just had a big fight with Justin Fenraeli ~IndoMTL.com~ who thinks he ordered the serpent to attack him at the dueling club.
"There's no point in arguing with him," Hermione said after hearing Harry's complaints, "Justin Finch has already decided that you are the heir of Slytherin, no matter how you explain it, Not being able to change his opinion will only make both parties more unhappy."
"But..."
"Don't waste your saliva," Hermione comforted. "When the truth comes out, you can ask Justin Finch to apologize to you. If he has the courage to apologize to you."
"That's not like what you would say!" Ron was a little surprised by Hermione's words.
"I learned it from Albert, he never argues with me about Professor Lockhart." Hermione's expression was very strange, "Every time I talk to Albert about Lockhart The latter just laughed and never expressed their own opinions.
Hermione actually knew that Albert believed that Lockhart's book was made up, not Lockhart's own experience.
He himself is not as great as in the books.
Although reluctant to admit it, Hermione had a gut feeling that Albert's guess was most likely right, especially after seeing Lockhart's poor performance at the Duel Club.
"I think Albert's pretty sane," Ron said dryly, both he and Harry knew that Hermione admired Lockhart, and there were times when the guy's relationship had made both sides unhappy.
"We'd better see if we can get useful information from Malfoy first, and if not try to find the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets." Harry didn't like using Parseltongue to find the Chamber of Secrets, he doubted Once someone saw him looking around for the secret room, things might get worse.
