Chapter 242 Four Parseltongues appear, who is the real heir?

When Harry shouted "Let him go".

He didn't realize how different this sentence was - a miracle happened, it was incredible!

The snake collapsed on the floor, as soft as a pile of thick and black watering hoses, and the snake's eyes kept staring at Harry.

At this moment, Harry felt that his fear disappeared bit by bit.

He had a hunch that the snake would not attack anyone again.

As for where this hunch came from and how he knew it, Harry couldn't say.

Harry focused on looking at the snake and didn't notice that the eyes of the surrounding little wizards looking at him became more and more terrified.

"Leave him, go away."

Harry continued to give orders to the snake, and the snake began to move its body little by little, approaching Harry.

However, in the next second, Harry's opponent, Gress, also began to speak, and he spoke the same language as Harry.

In the ears of the little wizard, it was all incomprehensible hissing muttering.

Gress said to the snake: "Attack him, attack all wizards, they are all our enemies!"

The snake's narrow and cold eyes showed a hint of doubt in a human way.

It was a little difficult for it to understand what was going on in front of it.

It didn't know whose orders it should obey.

The snake turned its head towards Harry for a while, and then turned its head towards Gress, wavering between the two.

Harry looked at Gress in shock.

From Gress's words, he felt uncomfortable, as if someone had taken away his exclusive territory.

But what was even more surprising was-

The next moment, Mikkel also spoke!

He also spoke the same language as Harry: "Don't attack anyone, walk quietly to a remote place."

The little wizard looked at each other, all a little shocked.

It wasn't enough for Harry to speak only one Parseltongue, and there were actually two other Parseltongues. What was going on?

When did wizards who could speak Parseltongue become common goods?

Lin Xia looked at this scene, a thoughtful look flashed across her eyes, and a hint of interest flashed.

She also stood on the duel stage and hissed at the snake: "Leave here, don't disturb us."

Sorry, she sacrificed the basilisk when she was still in spirit form and gained some of the basilisk's abilities.

Although the ability she gained was not the basilisk's petrification, but the snake language.

It seems that it is not helpful for research, and it is not even used in normal times.

Lin Xia looked at the shocked scene of the other three with interest.

But now, it can come in handy.

There was a dead silence on the duel stage.

Snape walked up and waved his wand, and the snake immediately turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.

He glanced at all the little wizards who could speak snake language, which was a cunning and scheming look.

I don't know what others think, at least Harry felt very uncomfortable, and he looked at Lin Xia deliberately.

Lin Xia stood there calmly and expressionlessly.

The little wizards around finally reacted, covering their mouths and whispering with their companions, their eyes flickering.

Harry could imagine that nothing good would come out of their mouths.

At this time, Ron pulled Lin Xia and Harry: "Let's go, let's leave here first."

His steps were very urgent, pulling Harry to stagger a few times, and he urged as he walked: "Go, go..."

Hermione and Draco immediately followed and left together.

When they dispersed, the wizards under the stage all retreated to both sides, a little afraid to touch Harry and Lin Xia.

There was not only fear in the eyes of these little wizards, but more curiosity.

The group hurried to the laboratory.

After closing the door of the laboratory, Ron was greatly relieved.

At this moment, he suddenly felt how safe the laboratory was.

The defense measures here are very complete, even if the professor wants to break the door of the laboratory, it will take a certain amount of time.

During this time, they had already used the escape route prepared in the laboratory to leave quickly.

Before, Ron thought that it was a bit of a hassle for Lin Xia and others to use all the gold galleons used to build the laboratory to upgrade the defense system.

If such a large sum of money could be cashed out, they could live a rich life.

After all, Hogwarts is the safest place, so there is no need to protect the laboratory so strictly.

But now, Ron finally understood why Lin Xia and others did this.

Because some crises often do not come from the outside, but collapse from the inside.

Lin Xia and Harry sat on the chair.

Ron questioned them: "You are Parseltongues, why didn't you tell us earlier?"

Harry looked confused, "What did you say?"

"Parseltongue." Ron repeated again, "Don't you know that you are a Parseltongue, you can talk to snakes."

Harry quickly recalled something, "I know that when I was a child, I accidentally released a python, and the python pounced on my cousin Dali...

It's a long story. At that time, the python told me that it had never been to Brazil, and I unknowingly released it.

I didn't mean to do it, and at that time I didn't know I was a wizard..."

Compared to Harry's nervousness, Lin Xia was much more relaxed.

She waved her wand, and the tea table on the table not far away moved automatically.

After a while, a cup of steaming hot black tea flew towards her and fell into Lin Xia's hands.

Her posture is elegant, as relaxed and leisurely as if she were drinking tea in her own back garden.

After Harry finished explaining, Lin Xia said: "I didn't know that I was a Parselmouth. I have had the ability to telepathically communicate with animals since I was a child.

I can sense the emotions of snakes, but I can also sense the emotions of other animals. Perhaps because of this ability, I have Parseltongue.

In fact, it was only after I heard Harry speak Parsellus that I felt like I could speak it, so I tried it casually, but I didn't expect that I could actually speak it. "

Ron couldn't help but raise his forehead: "Your reason is even worse than Harry's."

Draco immediately said: "I can testify to Lin Xia that she has indeed been able to sense the emotions of animals since she was a child.

When I was a child, I once thought that she was a messenger sent by animals and could speak the language of animals. Sometimes those animals were very close to her, and sometimes they were very afraid of her. "

Hermione asked curiously: "Why are you afraid of her?"

Lin Xia said at this time: "It's normal, animals can sense human emotions more easily than humans.

When they notice that we are in a happy mood, they will unconsciously want to get closer, but when they notice that we are angry, they will subconsciously stay away.

When I was a child, I was emotionally unstable and often had magical riots.

Even though I am in a peaceful state of mind, the little animals are not willing to get close to me because of the magic power boiling around me. "

Ron quickly got back to the topic, "Wait a minute, let's not discuss what happened when we were kids, the key is now.

Did you know that Parseltongue is a very bad thing? "

"Why is it bad?"

An unknown fire surged out of Harry's heart: "What's wrong with everyone? Listen, if I hadn't told that snake not to attack Justin -"

"Wait," Ron shouted, "is this what you said before?"

"Yes, why did you ask that? You were there at the time, and you could hear me."

Ron waved his hand, "No, I heard you speaking in Parseltongue, but you were using the language of snakes. It could be anything you said, and I can't tell what you said.

You didn't see Justin's terrified expression... We heard your voice, and it felt like you were encouraging the snake to attack.

That's very creepy!

If Grace and Mikel hadn't spoken snake language later, everyone would have thought you were ordering the snake to attack Justin. "

Draco said: "Don't be so nervous, Ron. So many people are greeting snakes in snake language. Even if someone misunderstands Harry, others can stand up and explain."

Hermione said solemnly: "I think the important point now is not Parseltongue or the content of Parseltongue, but that you can talk to snakes.

Snake language is Salazar Slytherin's famous and unique ability, so the symbol of Slytherin House is a snake. "

Hermione paused and looked at Lin Xia and Harry worriedly: "But you are all Parseltongues, do you know what this means?"

Draco raised his eyebrows: "You mean, other little wizards will think that Harry and Lin Xia are Salazar's great-great-great-grandsons or something..."

Harry immediately denied it: "But I'm not."

He had an inexplicable panic.

In comparison, Lin Xia was very calm.

"I have nothing to do with snakes. If I have dragons, then I can make some connections.

My parents are both warlocks from the East. I have inherited the blood of their Eastern warlocks, and my blood carries the gift of the Eastern Dragon. "

Hermione said without thinking, "But they wouldn't think so.

You have to know that Salazar lived about 1,000 years ago. In such a long time, a lot of things could have happened.

There may be some little wizards who think that Salazar once traveled to the East and fell in love with an Oriental girl there...

Or maybe it's not Salazar, but Salazar's descendants who formed their own bloodline in the east...

Anyway, everyone can tell rumors without any evidence as if they are true. "

Lin Xia: "Rumors only stop at the wise. We cannot explain something that does not exist at all. It is not true in the first place. How can we prove that it is not true?"

Draco said solemnly: "Being able to speak Parseltongue is definitely related to the Salazar family, plus the Chamber of Secrets that caused a lot of fuss before."

He looked at Harry and Lin Xia: "You two may be considered by others as the heirs of the Chamber of Secrets.

Of course, we definitely don't think so, but other little wizards definitely do.

Believe me, some young wizards may have already started discussing, among the four of you, the one who is more like the heir of Slytherin. "

Hermione interjected: "That's definitely Lin Xia."

She stretched out her fingers and counted, "She has a smart mind, can speak snakes, and loves to experiment... She has all the qualities of a Slytherin."

"But," Lin Xia replied: "Descendants of Slytherin will never go to Hufflepuff. Salazar hates Hufflepuff."

Hermione couldn't help but look at Draco and sighed: "This reason is very strong, but even the heirs of the Malfoy family, who are from pure-blood nobles, have gone to Hufflepuff. What do you think is impossible?"

Lin Xia thought for a while and said slowly: "Your concerns are very reasonable.

Perhaps, we have to find an authoritative professor to explain this matter to the little wizard in person. "

The opportunity came quickly.

During the Transfiguration class on the second day, Lin Xia asked Professor McGonagall this question in public.

It's midnight this day.

The light snow falling outside the window turned into a violent blizzard, and the weather dropped a few temperatures.

This caused the herbal medicine class that was supposed to be taken outdoors to be canceled, and the little wizard could only stay in the castle.

At this time, Sprout and Mag swapped courses, so their herbal medicine class became a transfiguration class.

When the free transformation time was about to end, Lin Xia raised his hand and asked:

"Professor McGonagall, I have a question that I would like you to answer, but it has nothing to do with transfiguration."

As soon as Lin Xia opened his mouth, all the wizards couldn't help but stare at him.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.

Professor McGonagall noticed something and asked seriously: "I hope it's not a question that has nothing to do with transfiguration, but if you really want to know the answer, I'm willing to answer it."

Lin Xia said: "Professor, last time you taught us about the Chamber of Secrets. Legend has it that it was Slytherin, a laboratory specializing in research at Hogwarts.

No one knows what research he did or what he put in the laboratory?

At yesterday's duel club, Harry, Mikel and Grace and I all spoke snake language to snakes.

Many young wizards believe that the four of us are related to the heir of Slytherin, and there are rumors that only the four of us can open the secret room.

But I have nothing to do with Slytherin at all.

I don’t know why I have the gift of Parselmouth. I have been able to communicate briefly with small animals since I was a child. This is my innate ability.

I don't think this is a sign of being a descendant of Salazar Slytherin.

This ability should not belong exclusively to a certain family or bloodline. "

The little wizard couldn't help but be shocked. Even Draco, who was familiar with Lin Xia, was a little surprised.

Lin Xia's words were extremely straightforward and revealed the rumors that had been spreading recently.

Some other little wizards whispered: "It's so cool, you really dare to speak!"

"I envy this kind of character."

"I'm so envious, I want to be her."

"How can she be so good!"

"Quiet, please be quiet." Professor McGonagall tapped the table with her wand.

She thought for a while and answered cautiously: "In fact, Parseltongue is just a talent. Every young wizard can have this talent. It is not rooted in the family or bloodline."

“However,” she emphasized, “this talent is very rare and rarely appears, and when it does, its descendants will be easier to obtain.

But this does not mean that only Salazar's family has this talent. Some great and outstanding wizards can also speak snake language.

With this kind of talent, we tend to think that they can achieve great things, but this is just an ancient saying. "

Professor McGonagall looked sternly at the four students with Parseltongue, "I hope you can make good use of this talent and not do things that violate taboos."
