Professor Rupert Hogwarts

Chapter 98 Follow-up
"However, I was trying to save Justin. If I hadn't told the snake not to attack him, Justin would have died!" Harry tried his best to find a reason for himself.

"Is this what you meant when you talked to that snake?" Ron looked at Harry in surprise.

"Yes, you were all present at the time -" Harry said impatiently, seeming to have found a breakthrough point.

"But what Professor Eisen said just now is right. You are using another language, making a hissing sound like a snake. No one can understand it!" Hermione said angrily.

Harry turned to look at Ron.

"That's right, the voice you spoke just now is scarier than the snake's. It sounds creepy, as if you want to give the snake an order and encourage it to attack Justin!" Seeing Harry looking at himself, Ron confirmed Hermione's statement.

"Everyone knows that talking to snakes is Salazar Slytherin's ability, so if you reveal your ability to speak Parseltongue, everyone will think you are the heir to the Chamber of Secrets. In this case -" Hermione lowered her voice.

"In this case, everyone will think that the attack was caused by you!" Ron took over the topic and revealed the serious consequences.

"But you know, I'm not!" Harry felt very uncomfortable.

"Yes, but it's too difficult to prove this!" Ron looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Then, the three of them set their sights on Aisen.

"You go back first, don't worry, I will talk to Principal Dumbledore!" After thinking for a while, Eisen said to the trio.

Seeing the three people looking at each other and then leaving with heavy expressions, Aisen began to ponder.

how to say?Harry was exposed as a Parseltongue, although he would be identified by almost all students as the heir to the Chamber of Secrets and the murderer of the attack.

But according to the professors, this is impossible.

Because the attack was caused by a profound form of dark magic, Harry, a second-year wizard, couldn't do it.You know, this is Dumbledore's conclusion, and it is absolutely impossible to overturn it just because Harry is a Parseltongue.

So, what if Dumbledore knew that Harry was a Parseltongue?Do you really think of him as the heir of Slytherin?

But now that Harry's secret of being a Parselmouth has been exposed, Eisen thinks it's okay to tell Dumbledore something.

Later, Eisen found Dumbledore, and the two talked for a while about the matter.

"Professor Eisen, your sensitivity is indeed surprising, but I have to say that your speculation is very reasonable. The terrifying monster released after the secret room was opened is probably the Basilisk!"

"This is easy to guess. Salazar Slytherin has the talent to talk to snakes, and Slytherin's symbol is also a snake. So, in the secret room that was opened, the one that can be called a terrifying monster must be a snake. Weird.

Moreover, who can be considered the heir to the secret room?A Slytherin student?No, it should be someone who has a Parseltongue like Salazar Slytherin! "

"So, Professor Eisen, do you suspect that Harry, who has a Parseltongue, opened the Chamber of Secrets, released the Basilisk and manipulated it to cause the attack?"

"I have been in contact with Harry for a long time, and I know what qualities he possesses. But, Professor Dumbledore, do you know where Harry's Parselmouth came from? He is really Salazar. "A descendant of Slytherin?" Eisen shook his head and brought the topic to Harry's talent for Parseltongue.

"I'm not sure if this is true. Harry's Parseltongue reminded me of something. I need a moment to figure it out." Dumbledore said in a heavy tone after being silent for a while.

"I found some information in the library. The Basilisk can stare at its victim and cause fatal injuries. Last time, Professor McGonagall said that the Chamber of Secrets was opened 50 years ago, causing the death of Weeping Myrtle. , I think, she died after looking at the basilisk!

However, both Mrs. Norris and Colin Creevey were petrified during the two attacks at the school.I carefully recalled the situation at that time.There was a pool of water on the ground when Mrs. Norris was attacked.Perhaps it looked into the basilisk's eyes through its reflection in the water.

And Colin Creevey, if I remember correctly, his camera had been scorched and melted.This means that he may have looked into the eyes of the basilisk through the camera. "

"You mean, the two attacks were caused by looking at the basilisk indirectly, so the cat and Colin were just petrified?" Dumbledore nodded with a thoughtful expression.

"Yes, if the next attack happens, it may really cause casualties if it is not such a coincidence!" Eisen said his speculation, but it made Dumbledore become serious.

"Then Harry—"

"I can watch Harry, but if there's another Parseltongue hiding within the castle—" Ison said, shrugging.

"Okay, I will inform the portrait of the castle and the professor that it will be a hard time. Most of the students will go home during the Christmas holidays, and then we can conduct a comprehensive inspection of the castle." Dumbledore made this decision after pondering for a while.

The next day, as if to set off the uneasy atmosphere that enveloped Hogwarts, the snowflakes dotting the night turned into a blizzard.

In desperation, the last herbal medicine class of the semester was cancelled.But Professor Sprout has no time to relax. She wants to put a scarf on the mandrake to prevent mistakes.You know, this is important material to save Mrs. Norris and Colin Creevey.

It was a very bad day for Harry.Because everyone looked at him strangely, and when some people saw him coming, they would subconsciously retreat and avoid him, as if he would suddenly open his fangs and devour them.

Harry wanted to follow Hermione's suggestion to explain the situation to Justin, but was stopped by several of Justin's Hufflepuff roommates.

Of course, if Ernie MacMillan, Hannah Abbott and others had not looked so pale at that time, maybe Harry would have felt better.

In fact, after some conversation, everyone thought he was an evil dark wizard.In the end, Harry didn't see Justin either, so he could only leave angrily.

The blizzard outside the castle and the gloomy attitude made the whole school become scary.But compared to the bad weather outside, Harry's mood was also extremely low.

"I belong to Gryffindor!" Harry comforted himself, but he always remembered that he was originally going to be sorted into Slytherin by the Sorting Hat.

But what makes Harry even more anxious is that everyone thinks he is the heir to the Chamber of Secrets, but he knows that the murderer of the attack is still hidden.

Harry had thought that it would be the most unfortunate thing to have exposed his Parseltongue and be considered by everyone to be the murderer of the attack.But what he didn't expect was that even if he wandered around the corridor because he was sulking, he would encounter something worse.
