Chapter 212 Fortunately, she didn’t come from an orphanage
Amid "laughter and laughter", the three returned to Hogwarts Castle.
Les led Daphne and Astoria straight to the secret room. After telling them not to look directly at the basilisk, he called the basilisk out.
[Take it, it should be enough for you. ] Rice placed the bodies of three Acromantulas in front of the Basilisk.
After a spider dies, its legs will instinctively curl up together, making them appear less bulky and making it easier for the basilisk to swallow them.
The basilisk closed its eyes, and the snake stretched and retracted, apparently feeling the aroma of the spider. It opened its mouth as wide as possible and swallowed the three spiders into its belly one after another.
"This is the Snake King..." Astoria looked at the basilisk that was eating, her eyes tightening.
What a powerful and beautiful creature this is! Astoria felt as if her soul was trembling, and she couldn't help but put her hand on the basilisk's back.
The place where my hand touched was cold.
The basilisk noticed Astoria's little move, but for the sake of the spider brought by its master, it acquiesced to Astoria's behavior.
Not long after, three big spiders were swallowed into its belly, and three big bags bulged out in the snake king's belly.
Daphne looked at the bulging Snake King in front of her and frowned: This scene is really impressive - it can swallow an Acromantula, so naturally it can also swallow people.
【Spider, delicious! 】
[When you are full, go back and sleep well. If you are hungry in the future, tell me. ] Les gave the basilisk a few words and sent it back to the statue to sleep.
"It's incredible. This is the snake king raised by Slytherin, and he is standing in front of us so alive. It's like he is talking to Slytherin across time and space." Looking at the back of the snake monster slowly leaving, Ah Stolia sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Perhaps a thousand years ago, Salazar Slytherin watched his snake king eat this way.
Les:…
In fact, talking to Slytherin does not necessarily require crossing time and space.
But he still nodded, saying Astoria, you are right, the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets is the "living fossil" of Hogwarts.
"It likes to eat spiders very much. Let's catch a few more for it next time. How long will it sleep for?" Astoria clenched her fists in excitement, wishing she could run to the Forbidden Forest to catch spiders for the Snake King again. go.
Completely forgetting the shocking scene that happened in the Forbidden Forest before.
Les glanced at her. Astoria, this little girl, seemed to have an unusual fondness for the Snake King. This kind of preference is a bit contrary to a little witch of her age.
Her sister's reaction was normal.
Coupled with what she just said, could it be...
He remembered the soul of the girl he had seen at Greengrass Manor before.
Les decided to give it a try.
[Next time it wakes up, I will send you to catch the Acromantula. As for how long it sleeps, it ranges from a few months to a few years. If no one wakes it up, it can sleep for ten years. 】
"It can really sleep!" Astoria sighed: "Next time I catch a spider, I will have experience."
Daphne's expression suddenly changed, because in her ears, Les was just making a "hissing" sound, but her sister understood what he was saying!
My sister is a Parseltongue?
The thought came to her mind.
Daphne, who comes from a pure-blood family, is not as secretive about Parseltongue as other young wizards - marriages between pure-blood families are very normal, and it is normal to have some Parseltongue talent in her body. But like Rice, she was reminded of Astoria's soul form.
This is very bad. Does this mean that my sister's soul has been eroded even more seriously? She never showed any talent for talking to snakes as a child!
When leaving the secret room, Daphne deliberately lagged behind and took the opportunity to convey her worries to Les.
"It's very possible." Harry's face appeared in Les's mind. "If it's true that Astoria didn't understand Parsnake when she was a child, then she might have been affected by a curse on her soul. .”
"Then what should I do -" Daphne was a little anxious. Although this sister is annoying most of the time, she still hopes that she can grow up safely and healthily.
If only my sister was a squib with no disease or disaster!
"I will put her treatment on the schedule as soon as possible." Rice took out Riddle's diary from his arms.
Out of caution, Les always carried this Horcrux with him.
Seeing Les say this, Daphne felt a little relieved.
Back on the ground, it was still a while before lunch time. Rice went to the Owl Tower first, kept some of the Acromantula venom he collected, and sent it to Lupet, asking her to sell it for him.
When we returned to the auditorium, it was just in time for lunch.
The impact of the student duel competition last night was still spreading, and many students from Slytherin House ran to the Greengrass sisters and got close to them.
After finally calming down around her, Rice said to her, half seriously and half jokingly: "You can hold a small gathering and teach them the knowledge of dueling."
Daphne's head shook like a rattle: she knew very well where her strength came from.
It has little to do with magic spells, the focus is on the flow of magic power. But she didn't know how to teach this thing. She couldn't even help her own sister, let alone these classmates who were beyond their reach.
Seeing that Daphne was not interested, Les stopped bringing up the topic.
In his opinion, the teaching philosophies of the old and new magic circles each have their pros and cons, and perhaps the best situation is now. It is not advisable to force the flow of magic in schools, because this is a teaching method that history has proven will be eliminated.
Maybe he can use various means to let the students in the school learn how to flow magic, but after hundreds of years, can this kind of knowledge really be passed down?
Rice was sceptical.
At the staff table, Professor Flitwick smiled and said to Dumbledore: "Albus, you see, the children were very interested in last night's assembly, and the little girl Daphne has also become a celebrity."
Dumbledore looked at Daphne, who was chatting and laughing with her classmates, and smiled without saying a word.
"That little girl is indeed talented. I can't even imagine how she did her flying magic." Professor McGonagall also praised Daphne.
She really liked this little girl, even though she was a Slytherin - or Daphne was one of the rare non-annoying students in Slytherin House.
Dumbledore was still smiling.
She is good at handling interpersonal relationships and is a good student in the eyes of her teachers. She was also born in Slytherin. I can only say that it is lucky that she was not born in an orphanage, otherwise I would have been unable to sleep again!
