No one cared about the Dueling Club anymore, Ivan, Ron, and Hermione pulled Harry out of the auditorium, and Colin and Ginny hurriedly followed.
People retreated to both sides one after another, as if they were afraid of getting into trouble.
Harry looked confused, he didn't understand what was going on at all, and the others didn't give any explanation, but just dragged him all the way to the empty Gryffindor common room.
Then Ron pushed Harry into an armchair and said, "You're a Parseltongue, why didn't you tell us?"
"What am I?" Harry asked in surprise.
"Parseltongue! You can talk to snakes!"
"I know," said Harry, "I mean, it's the second time I've done it. Once at the zoo, I accidentally let a boa constrictor out, and the boa constrictor told my cousin Dudley Go ahead, it's a long story, but I bet a lot of guys here can do it."
"Oh, they can't," said Ron, wrinkling his nose. "It's not an ordinary skill, Harry."
"That's right, it's terrible!" Ginny, who was sitting next to Ivan, added with a pale face.
"What's bad?" Harry raised his voice. "What's wrong with everyone? Listen, if I hadn't told the snake not to attack Justin... "
"Oh, that's what you said to him?"
"Ron, what do you mean? You were also there at the time, you, Ivan, Hermione, Colin, Ginny, you were all there, you should have heard me."
"Actually, all I heard was your hissing sound." Colin stammered, "I don't know what that means, but I think it's very abnormal."
"That's Parseltongue, Colin!" Ron explained. "It's the language of snakes."
"You say I speak the language of snakes?!" Harry's eyes widened.
"That's right, everyone can't understand. It's possible to say anything you said at the time. No wonder Justin was terrified. Listening to your voice, it seems that you are egging the snake. The scene is really creepy. "
"That's right!" Colin and Ginny nodded together.
Harry stared at them dumbfounded. "But I didn't realize how it was possible for me to speak another language and not know it myself!"
Ron shook his head, looking heavy-hearted.
Colin and Ginny's faces were full of horror. Hermione sat aside without saying a word. She took out a book from the pile of books and flipped through it quickly. Ivan lowered his head and fell into deep thought, not knowing what he was thinking. The atmosphere gradually became heavy, as if someone had died.
"Well, will you tell me there's nothing wrong with stopping a big ugly snake from biting Justin's head off!" Harry suddenly shouted, "As long as Justin doesn't join the ranks of the headless ghosts, What does it matter how I do it?"
"It matters a lot!" Hermione finally spoke, and she turned a page of the book in her hand and put it in front of Harry, "Look here, it is Salazar Slytherin's famous ability to talk to snakes, he is the first in history The first proven Parseltongue. So, the symbol of Slytherin house is a snake."
Harry opened his mouth wide and looked at the book in front of him in surprise.
"Exactly, Harry," Ron continued, "now the whole school is going to think you're his great-great-great-grandson or something, especially now that the Chamber of Secrets has been opened, which is bad. "
"But I'm not, it's impossible for me to open the secret room." There was an inexplicable panic in Harry's tone.
"I trust you, Harry!" Ginny said in a sobbing voice.
"We all believe in you, but you will find it difficult to prove it." Hermione said calmly, "Salazar Slytherin lived about a thousand years ago, and from what we know, you It is likely to be his descendant."
"This is ridiculous, that's why everyone else avoided me just now."
Harry stood up abruptly, turned his head to look at Ivan who had been silent all this time, and said with the last glimmer of hope, "Ivan, you will not think that I am the heir of Slytherin like them, or go to open Chamber of Secrets or something?"
"Of course not. I'm not surprised that you can speak Parseltongue."
Ivan said, "Relax, Harry! Although Parseltongue is a very rare talent, it is not unique. Apart from Slytherin and his descendants, there are still many wizards who can do this. If If need be, I can name a few right now."
Ivan's words made Harry seem a lot more at ease, but he didn't say a word, that is, wizards who were found to have the talent of Parseltongue, except for Salazar Slytherin himself, everyone else became evil in the end of dark wizards, without exception.
"In fact, compared to this, I want to know what kind of spell Ron just attacked me?" Ivan turned his gaze to Ron who was standing aside.
"What, what!"
Ron's face turned red, "As I said just now, it's just a disarming weapon. It might be my wand that mutated it."
"Come on, Ron!" Ivan waved his hand impatiently, "That's what I fooled Snape, if a broken wand can mutate the Disarming Curse into advanced black magic, then the dark wizard is already full The streets are full."
"What did you say?!" Hermione said in surprise, "Dark magic?!"
"That's right, that spell is definitely a black magic, that's why Snape asked Ron if he ever peeked at the books in the Restricted Section, he must know something."
"But I didn't..." Ron explained in panic.
"Who knows!" Ivan stared at Ron closely, "Maybe it's not you."
"It's not me?" Ron repeated in confusion, and his anger surged up, "Evan, what the hell do you mean? This is so funny, do you think I used Polyjuice Potion for something to become Ron's appearance mixed in?"
He let out a harsh laugh, Colin and Ginny huddled in the sofa in fear, Harry and Hermione also looked puzzled, not sure what Ivan meant.
"I think it's impossible for Ron to be faked by someone else." Hermione said hesitantly, "Evan, too many things have happened recently, you may be under too much pressure."
"That's right, this joke is not funny at all." Harry shook his head, "Isn't today April Fool's Day, because I saved Justin, I was considered the heir of Slytherin, but now Ron suddenly Became an evil dark wizard."
"However, for a dark wizard, it is very easy to control a person's mind."
"What the hell do you mean?!" Ron yelled.
"Where were you when the first attack happened on Halloween?" Ivan asked coldly.
"I'm in that damn bathroom, apologizing to Moaning Myrtle!"
"That means no one has proved it!" Aiwen's mouth turned up slightly, "Where were you during the second attack?"
"With Percy in the school infirmary, of course, because of your ridiculous Iron Armor Charm, which left my brother with no bones in his left hand."
"No, you're not there!"
Ivan shook his head, "To be honest, Ron, you left the school hospital shortly after we left, and no one knows where you went."
"But what does it matter, everyone is gone!" Ron looked a little hysterical, "If anyone who was not with you was suspected when the attack happened, then the students in the whole school are all Slytherins heirs."
"But you are the only one who can cast a complete corrosion spell with that broken wand." Ivan narrowed his eyes, "Isn't that so!"
