Chapter 121
The old man was very angry.
Argus looked at Harry and the cobra with interest.
There was inquiry in his eyes.
Is this the legendary Parseltongue?
Is it used to communicate with snakes or to control snakes?
If it is used to control snakes, it will be very useful!
Especially in terms of intelligence!
Who would have thought that a snake would be an intelligence agent?
He never had prejudice against Parseltongue like ordinary wizards.
Dumbledore also knows Goblin and Mermaid!
Are there few people in the wizarding world who died at the hands of these two species?
Why does no one think that these two languages are symbols of dark wizards?
It's just that in the past, famous Parseltongues were all dark wizards.
Perhaps, I should also try to get in touch with the language of other species, maybe it will have the effect of learning by analogy.
While thinking, Snape has already taken action.
A spell smashed the cobra into pieces.
Staring at Harry with a strange look.
"What did you just do!"
Justin Finch-Fletchley woke up from his panic and questioned Harry angrily.
Harry looked around blankly and found that everyone's eyes were full of fear and horror.
Including Lockhart who liked to show off the most!
Many people whispered and pointed at Harry.
He wanted to explain something, but as soon as he approached, everyone fled in all directions.
As if he was some kind of terrifying magical animal.
...
The first duel club ended with Harry revealing his Parseltongue.
The originally high-spirited little wizard no longer had the interest to continue playing.
The news that the savior was a Parseltongue quickly spread throughout Hogwarts.
Wherever Harry went, he could not avoid being looked at strangely by others.
Even his roommate asked Professor McGonagall to change his dormitory!
This made Harry even more depressed.
"Ron, why... why does everyone treat me like this..."
He complained to his only good friend.
But Ron's reaction was beyond his expectations.
"Why didn't you tell me!"
"Tell you? Tell you what?"
"You are a Parseltongue!"
"Parseltongue? Can you communicate with snakes?" Harry asked in confusion: "I released a python in the zoo before, and it almost attacked Dudley."
"That doesn't mean anything? Many people can do this, right?"
"No, Harry!" Ron's expression became serious.
"Parseltongue is not an ordinary talent."
"It is a... very bad thing!"
"What's wrong with it!" Harry was also a little upset.
The anger accumulated over the past few days broke out completely.
"If I hadn't told the snake not to attack Justin..."
"Wait, you said, you told him not to attack Justin?"
"You were on the stage, only a few meters away from me, didn't you hear it?"
"I heard you speaking Parseltongue, the language of snakes." Ron explained: "I don't understand what you are saying, but the tone is scary, it sounds like... you are ordering the snake to do something!"
"I spoke another language!" Harry didn't react, staring at Ron blankly.
"That's right, Harry, do you know why the symbol of Slytherin is a snake?"
"How can I know?"
"Because... Slytherin is Parseltongue, he can also talk to snakes like you."
Hearing this, Harry finally understood.
Why did everyone look at him with horror at that time, and why was he excluded by everyone in school.
It turned out that he had become the heir of Slytherin in their hearts.
"Now the whole school thinks you are the great-great-great-great-grandson of Slytherin!"
"But I'm not!" Harry roared hysterically.
Then he murmured in a low voice: "It will never be possible!"
...
Outside the Room of Requirement.
Argus stood opposite the tapestry of the troll club beating Barnabas silly.
He walked past this wall three times.
He kept thinking about the diadem of Ravenclaw in his mind.
After Lockhart's dueling club incident, everyone thought Harry was the heir of Slytherin.
This made the eyes that had been focused on him disappear quietly.
It also gave him the opportunity to use the Disillusionment Charm and the Marauder's Map to sneak into the Room of Requirement after curfew.
Pushing open the smooth door, what came into view was a messy mountain of garbage.
At a glance, there was no end to it.
"Good guy, no wonder Voldemort is so confident in his Horcruxes."
"A hidden
Deeper than one!"
"Even if ordinary wizards know where it is hidden, they probably can't find it from this pile of garbage."
"Unless you use Fiendfyre to destroy it directly!"
"Fortunately... I got a few in advance!"
Argus took out Slytherin's locket from his arms.
Horcruxes can sense each other.
This is why he didn't choose to look for Ravenclaw's diadem last year.
How long will it take to turn over this pile of garbage?
"But the Room of Requirement is really amazing. There are restrictions on many magics, and even the Summoning Charm can't be used."
"The Mirror of Erised seems to be found by Dumbledore in the Room of Requirement."
"From this point of view, ancient magic is indeed unique."
"Fortunately, it has various restrictions, otherwise, with Voldemort's personality, he would definitely set up traps here. "
Argus held the Slytherin locket in his hand, closed his eyes and carefully felt the magic fluctuations from the locket.
Walked slowly forward.
Passed through one garbage mountain after another.
Finally stopped in front of a pile of furniture and debris.
"Thunder explosion! "
Argus was not willing to search in the garbage.
The easiest way is to blast it open with magic!
Anyway, Ravenclaw's diadem is not that easy to damage.
Continuous explosions sounded, but fortunately the Room of Requirement could isolate all sounds in the house.
Even if there was a huge explosion here, no movement would be felt outside.
One explosion spell after another was blasted, and the entire garbage mountain made of broken furniture finally collapsed.
Argus frowned and waved his hand to disperse the dust in front of him.
Holding the locket, he felt the location of the Horcrux again.
Go forward...right...and forward...
Open your eyes.
A quaint statue appeared at his feet.
Seeing this statue, Argus finally smiled.
"Finally found it, Ravenclaw's diadem! "
The statue wore an exquisite crown that looked totally out of place on its head.
A huge green gem was inlaid on the pure gold crown, and on the forehead was an eagle with its wings spread.
It was covered with sparkling diamonds.
Agers took off the crown and read out a line of small words carved at the bottom of the crown.
"Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind."
