HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Harry learned from his two friends that talking to snakes was very rare in the wizarding world. Salazar, the founder of Slytherin, was a Parseltongue, so the symbol of the school was a snake.

Gloria carried the limp black snake and walked towards the Forbidden Forest. Draco was beside her. Crabbe and Goyle did not follow because they were afraid of the poisonous snake hurting people. Gloria gave them the wand that Millicent dropped and asked them to return it.

Hagrid was supposed to take them there, but neither of them went to find anyone and went straight into the Forbidden Forest.

"Lori...you can always hold the snake like this?"

Slytherin students always have a special feeling for snakes, and the Malfoy family emblem also contains a snake.

"Yes, many magical creatures don't dare to attack me, so I plan to choose the Care of Magical Creatures course in my third year." Seeing that he was staring at the snake in his arms, she raised her hand and sent it to him, "Do you want to touch it? I won't hurt you as long as I'm here."

Slytherin blood has a natural affinity for snakes, and can make snakes obedient even without the use of Parseltongue abilities.

Draco believed Gloria, so he slowly reached out his hand and successfully touched the black snake's cold scales. It had no intention of attacking, so it laid its head on Gloria's palm, occasionally sticking out its tongue.

"How amazing!" Apart from docile and harmless pets, this was the first time Draco had touched a highly aggressive animal up close. "How did you do that?!"

Gloria reached out and touched his chest. "That necklace can make many animals afraid to hurt me, so you can do it too."

Draco's grey-blue eyes revealed a hint of eagerness; he wanted to try but was afraid of getting hurt.

"I'll grab the head, and you take over the body first, and then grab the head to ensure your safety. I'm here for you." Gloria encouraged him.

The black snake was in a good mood and let them toss it around. The soft and cold touch made Draco shiver. Gloria couldn't help but laugh at how he looked timid but wanted to take risks. Fortunately, the boy's attention was all on the black snake.

"It really doesn't bite me!" Draco stroked the black snake's head carefully, "I think we are more like the heir of Slytherin than Potter."

Gloria complained silently in her heart: No, boy, it’s just me.

"It's really surprising, I never thought he was a Parseltongue." Gloria is still shocked by what happened in the auditorium.

"He must not be!" Draco denied fiercely, "In the family tree of the Sacred Twenty-Eight Pure-Blood Families, the Potter family has never been combined with the blood of the Slytherin descendants. The last branch of Slytherin descendants, the Gaunt family, died out decades ago."

Gloria knew that the Gaunt family was not extinct, and there was still a half-blood Voldemort left, but he was half-dead now.

"Then do you know the Hermann and Archibald families?"

Draco looked puzzled, "I've never heard of this. Britain has a pure-blood family?"

"Not exactly." Gloria nodded. "They have intermarried with the bloodline of Slytherin's descendants, but according to records, they died out hundreds of years ago."

However, she felt that the possibility of Harry having Slytherin blood was zero. Thousands of years ago, there were more than just the Slytherins who had the ability to speak Parseltongue, but their family base was in Britain.

But all other descendants of Parseltongue seemed to have died out, and the previous heirs had looked for them but found nothing.

"Really?" Draco heard these two surnames for the first time. "Although I haven't heard of them, there are definitely no such surnames in the Potter family tree, otherwise I would have an impression of them."

"Well, maybe the problem is not with the Potter family, but with Harry's mother." Gloria could only come to this guess.

Draco looked skeptical. "His mother? A clay figurine."

"Draco, you only know enough about the pure-blood families in Britain. The Muggle side is much more complicated." Gloria said: "Maybe his mother's family was once the descendant of the Squibs of wizards."

It is not uncommon for the descendants of Squibs to be driven away by pure-blood families.

The boy simply ignored the conversation and told him to admit that Harry was a descendant of Slytherin, instead of casting a Stunning Spell on him.

Gloria didn't pursue the matter any further as she would have plenty of time to find the answer later.

"This is my first time in the Forbidden Forest, is it you too?"

Sure enough, Draco regained his energy by changing the subject. "No, it's my second time. The first time..." The boy looked unhappy, as if he was thinking of something bad.

"what happened?"

"It's okay. I went to the Forbidden Forest with Potter and the others in my first year. At that time... there was a monster that killed a unicorn and drank its blood." It is still scary to recall that black shadow now.

"To kill a unicorn is to reach a dead end." There was a herd of these pure creatures near her estate.

"My father said the same thing. At that time, Potter ran away in fear, and I was the one who gathered the others!" Draco lied without blushing.

Gloria thought the situation should be the other way around, but she didn't expose him, nor did she intend to delve into the situation. "So Harry is such a coward, but catching monsters should be Hagrid's job, why are you getting involved?"

"It was that big idiot who raised a dragon. I discovered it and told Professor McGonagall. But... I was outside during curfew that day, so I was punished to go to the Forbidden Forest together. Potter and the others were deducted 150 points because of this incident."

As expected of Professor McGonagall, she never lets students from her own college off lightly when they make mistakes.

"Hagrid is crazy to keep a dragon near the Forbidden Forest."

"It's just a fire dragon..." Draco lowered his eyes and stroked the black snake's head. The scene of the fire dragon spewing flames appeared in his mind.

Gloria caught the envy in his eyes. It seemed that Draco liked it very much. The fire dragon is such a cool creature that many people yearn for.

"It should be enough here, let it go." Gloria stopped and reminded.

Draco touched the black snake twice and said, "I don't know where I summoned you from." Then he squatted down and let go of the black snake.

The black snake placed on the ground did not leave immediately, but looked up at Gloria. When it saw the girl raised her chin and went deep into the forbidden forest, it swam its long body into the forest.

Draco didn't come back to his senses until the black snake disappeared completely.

The whole school was filled with discussions about Harry's Parseltongue ability. Draco's face grew increasingly grim as he listened, and he took Gloria back to the Slytherin common room.

As Slytherin students, they were shocked much more strongly than the other three houses.

"You have no idea how hateful those people are. They said that the heir of Slytherin is not with us, but in Gryffindor!"

"What a shame, how could Potter speak Parseltongue? The heir of Slytherin can't be in Gryffindor."

"Who knows? I don't want to go out anymore—"

Compared to the other three houses who were both scared and excited, Slytherin was in a completely disgusted state.

But when Gloria and Draco came in, everyone fell silent.

Not only was Harry's performance surprising, but Gloria's behavior of catching a poisonous snake with her bare hands was also a bit suspicious, especially since the snake was very obedient in her hands.

"Draco, are you done releasing the animals?" Goyle stood up and broke the silence.

Young Master Platinum raised his chin, "It's over. I put it there myself."

Gloria knew he was at it again; after Harry's stunning performance he was bound to do something to stand out.
