After stabbing my ex-boyfriend, I went traveling

Draco didn't want to be watched like a monkey, especially when his opponent was the highly-anticipated "savior of the wizarding world".

In his eyes, Harry Potter was just a collection of troubles.

The two men attacked each other with some harmless little spells, and finally Draco used a Disarming Charm to repel Harry.

The whole process can almost be described as harmonious.

"Potter is too weak. I wonder if I have the honor to challenge Professor Lockhart? I heard that Professor Lockhart can fight werewolves alone. I think any advice from Professor Lockhart would benefit us all a lot, right?" Draco began to flatter Lockhart.

Logically speaking, Lockhart should always remember his own capabilities and not underestimate even a small second-grade wizard. The big loss he suffered at the hands of Yang Mei some time ago should serve as a warning to him.

But people say that what he said can benefit everyone a lot...

Lockhart was fooled and agreed to Draco's challenge with a beaming face.

In fact, he was also muttering in his heart that last time in his office, if Selwyn hadn't been there, he would have been able to take down Potter alone. This shows that not all little wizards are as powerful as Selwyn.

Only a pervert would use the Cruciatus Curse on others with a smile at the age of twelve.

"Since classmate Malfoy has urged me, I can't refuse. As everyone knows, I, Gilderoy Lockhart, am not a person who likes to put on airs. I am happy to pass on my experience to you..." He chattered on and on.

"Shall we begin, Professor Lockhart?" Draco interrupted him impatiently.

"It seems that Mr. Malfoy can't wait any longer. Let's start now." Lockhart said with a grin.

The two of them finished their greetings.

Draco's move was: "Oolong out of the hole!"

A king cobra leaped from the end of his hawthorn stick, snapped to the ground, and slithered toward Lockhart.

The little wizard standing at the edge of the stage was so scared that he took a step back, but there were people standing behind them, so he was basically blocked again.

Lockhart was also afraid. He forced himself to remain calm and pointed his wand at the king cobra on the ground: "Spread wings and ascend to heaven!"

I don’t know where the spell was picked up from the trash can, but Yang Mei has never heard of it.

Voldemort was rarely confused: "Is this a new spell developed in recent years?"

Yang Mei spread her hands and said, "Making up spells on the spur of the moment is one of Lockhart's characteristics. You'll get used to it after seeing it many times."

But it must be said that the snake on the ground was indeed catapulted into the air under the effect of his spell, and then fell back to the ground under the influence of gravity, unharmed.

Lockhart: "..."

Others: “…” There was nothing else, but my toes felt a little itchy and I had to scratch them.

Snakes also have tempers. They immediately raised their heads and hissed with their tongues.

He was currently facing a young Hufflepuff wizard standing at the side of the stage. He was also a second-year student named Justin Finch-Fletchley, who had just introduced himself to Harry beside him not long ago.

Harry had once had the experience of talking to a python in the reptile house at the zoo, so he wasn't too scared of the snake in front of him.

He stood in front of Justin Finch-Fletchley and said, "Don't come over here. You can't attack us... What? You said we attacked you first? No, the person who attacked you is over there. You got the wrong person."

The scene was eerie.

Voldemort narrowed his eyes. "What's going on with this Potter? Is he a Parseltongue?"

Harry's performance clearly showed that he could understand what the King Cobra was saying, so Voldemort preconceived that he was a Parseltongue.

Only Parseltongue can communicate with snakes.

"No, he can only be considered half a Parseltongue now." Yang Mei said seriously, "You also know that he was your Horcrux before, so he has some abilities that he shouldn't have, such as Parseltongue.

Otherwise, there was no precedent of Parseltongue in the ancestors of the Potter and Evans families, so how could he have a genetic mutation?

Now that I have taken back your soul fragments, it doesn't make sense for him to continue to be able to speak Parseltongue. Being able to understand Parseltongue is already the limit. Didn't you hear what he said in English just now?"

"Potter, can you understand what this snake is saying?!" Finch-Fletchley couldn't hide the shock in his tone.

"This shouldn't be a big deal, right? You may not believe it, but I accidentally let a Brazilian python escape from the reptile house..." Harry said embarrassedly.

At first Harry thought he was envious of himself for having this ability, but he belatedly noticed Finch-Fletchley's pale face and the fear in his eyes.

"What does this mean? Didn't I just save you?!" Harry thought to himself, shouldn't he have saved people?

The way the other young wizards avoided his gaze and turned away made Harry more convinced that he should not have stood in front of Finch-Fletchley just now.

"Brother, let's go, don't stand here stupidly!" Ron hurriedly pulled Harry out.

"Why, Ron, I really don't understand, didn't I just stop the snake from attacking Finch-Fletchley?!" Harry's face was full of irritation, "I've had enough! What are they afraid of? Are they afraid that I will let the snake attack them?"

"Listen, man, it doesn't matter whether you stopped the snake from attacking people or not. What matters is that you can understand snake language!" Ron said in a low voice.

Harry was puzzled. "Is this a big deal? I mean, I know it's not something that everyone can do, but it's just like not everyone can become Minister of Magic. Maybe it's worth being surprised, but there's absolutely no need to be horrified, right?"

"Don't you know that only Parseltongues can understand Serpent's language? The reason why the symbol of Slytherin is a snake is because its founder, Salazar Slytherin, is a Parseltongue. Others are so scared because they probably think you are the heir of Slytherin!" Ron said everything he knew and guessed with a bitter face.
