Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

“What a fine instrument!

"But Douglas, Parseltongue is a magical inheritance. If you simply imitate the sound, you can't control snakes, right?"

Harry nodded in agreement, as if he couldn't do it without me.

But Douglas' words poured cold water on him.

"We don't need to control the basilisk. Besides, we are not Slytherin heirs, so how could the basilisk possibly listen to us?

We only need to open the Chamber of Secrets, and that shouldn't require the mysterious powers of Parseltongue."

If he remembered correctly, Ron seemed to have imitated Harry's voice and directly opened the door of the Chamber of Secrets.

Harry argued:

"But why don't you let me try? The principal and professor are here with you. You can definitely protect me, right?"

Dumbledore couldn't understand for a moment why Douglas was so opposed to Harry's involvement in this matter. If it was just about opening the door, he shouldn't have any problem.

Douglas said lightly:

"Professor, don't forget about Hagrid. If we want to help him, we need the Ministry of Magic to get involved...

But the fact that Harry is a Parseltongue must not be known to the Ministry of Magic. Otherwise, if Voldemort is really resurrected, Harry may become the target of the Ministry of Magic. After all, the reputation of Parseltongue is not that good... "

He remembered that in the original book, the Minister of Magic did not believe Harry's story about Voldemort's resurrection. One of the reasons was that Harry was a Parseltongue and not trustworthy, and the media had long used this reason to guide public opinion and attack Harry.

Dumbledore frowned and glanced at Harry.

Harry was a little annoyed at this time:

"I'm not a Parseltongue speaker. I've just been bewitched by Voldemort. Just explain this to them. Just because a dark wizard can do dark magic doesn't mean he's a dark wizard. The same goes for Parseltongue speakers."

Douglas rolled his eyes and said, "Are you sure you want to convince me with my words?"

Dumbledore was quite surprised that Harry could say such insightful words. He said calmly:

"Harry, I'm glad you have such a deep understanding of magic..."

Harry noticed Douglas's expression and explained awkwardly:

"Principal, this sentence was said by Professor Holmes in class. I thought it made a lot of sense, so I wrote it down. It wasn't my own idea!"

Dumbledore was startled, glanced at Douglas, then adjusted his glasses and said:

"Of course, it doesn't matter who said it, what matters is that you understand its meaning.

Let's get back to the topic just now, Harry, Douglas is right, your Parseltongue is not suitable to be exposed at the moment. Exposing your cards too early will only make the enemy prepared..."

Harry was bewildered. He wondered what use his Parseltongue could make against his enemies. Could he pretend to be Voldemort? That seemed like a good idea...

Douglas curled his lips. Dumbledore's deception was obviously successful.

Dumbledore pointed at the parchment Douglas had just handed over and continued:

"Now, what you have to do is translate these sentences into Parseltongue. This will not only protect you, but also clear Hagrid's grievances..."

Hearing Hagrid's name, Harry asked quickly:

"What happened to Hagrid? Did Voldemort frame him for Parseltongue and doing something bad?"

Dumbledore shrugged.

"I'm sorry, but this involves Hagrid's secrets. You need to ask him yourself. I can't do it for you...

Douglas, how do you use this thing? Let’s get started as soon as possible! "

Douglas took the radio, turned the FM pointer to the recording icon, pointed to the power button and said:

"Harry, I'm going to place a soundproofing spell around you in a moment, then you press start and you can record..."

Harry nodded and took the pocket radio from Douglas's hand. At the same time, the parchment flew over from Dumbledore's desk.

Harry quickly put down the pocket radio and caught the parchment.

When he saw the sentence above, he was stunned at first and asked quickly:

"Professor, is the Chamber of Secrets you're talking about Slytherin's Chamber? I see a lot of Slytherin-related sentences written on it."

For a moment, he even thought of more, the suddenly closed women's restroom...

Douglas smiled and said:

"That's not your concern. You just need to translate these sentences into Parseltongue. Thirty minutes is enough time for you to complete the translation... Don't forget, Headmaster Dumbledore can understand Parseltongue."

Harry was stunned. He swore that he had never thought of playing tricks on this. This was a blatant slander!

But before he could explain, Douglas waved his wand, and Harry felt himself surrounded by a magical barrier. At the same time, the teacup on the table turned into a snake.

At this moment, Douglas's voice suddenly appeared in my ears:

"You can remember and speak as you go. There's no rush. We have plenty of time!"

Harry swallowed and picked up the parchment. He had only noticed the name Slytherin before, but now he noticed the complete words.

"Slytherin is the greatest wizard!"

"Open it, I'm a Slytherin!"

"Salazar Slytherin is the most handsome!"

"......"

"Speak to me, Slytherin—the greatest of the Hogwarts Four!"

In short, these are all very narcissistic words!

Harry was suddenly glad that the recording was in Parseltongue. If it were his own voice, he would never have said those words.

Are these the passwords to the Slytherin common room?

Outside the soundproofing magic, Dumbledore asked curiously:

"Douglas, I don't remember any external documents mentioning that I could understand Parseltongue..."

Douglas said in surprise:

"Professor, you really can speak Parseltongue. I was just fooling Harry to prevent him from being irrational and fooling us about this!"

Dumbledore's hand hovered over the candy box.

Chapter 132 The Riddler

While Harry is within the soundproofing spell.

Dumbledore and Douglas discussed the connection between Harry and the story "The Half-Blood Prince of Slytherin".

Douglas followed Dumbledore's words and said:

"So, it's possible that Harry corresponds to the mistress who sealed the limb within her body?"

Dumbledore chewed the candy slowly, then said slowly:

"Douglas, I've been looking up a lot of information lately and found a kind of black magic that can be used for this situation. It's an ancient and most evil black magic that few people have tried..."

Having said that, Dumbledore suddenly looked at Douglas.

Douglas was stunned. Go on. Why are you looking at me? You talk as if I should know.

"I see. What kind of black magic can separate the soul?"

Dumbledore felt very comfortable when he heard Douglas' question. A good conversation is one with questions and answers. Otherwise, it would be boring if he just spoke dryly.

"I remember you said last time that Tom once told you that the diary was the evidence of his immortality. Based on immortality and the splitting of souls, I found a kind of dark magic - the Horcrux.

To create a Horcrux, a wizard needs to commit evil acts such as murder to split and shatter his soul, then separate a part of the soul from the body and seal it in a vessel, and then use a specific spell to complete the final production. This is the Horcrux.

Because there is still a part of it that is not damaged, so even if the body is destroyed, it will not die. This should be the reason why Tom has been alive since that time! "

Douglas could hear that Dumbledore's tone was a bit sad:

"Professor, if this really corresponds to that article, does it mean that Voldemort has split his soul into seven parts...

Also, to completely destroy Voldemort, all his Horcruxes must be destroyed first, so Harry... "

Wait, Douglas suddenly felt something was wrong when he said this. If he remembered correctly, even Snape was the last to know about this matter. Why would Dumbledore tell him now?

Dumbledore neither shook his head nor nodded. He glanced at Harry, who was diligently recording Parseltongue, and said slowly:

"So, hopefully we can find a good way to resolve this. We still have time, right?"

Douglas also glanced at Harry and said:

"Professor, why did you tell me this? I'm just an ordinary Defense Against the Dark Arts professor..."

Dumbledore suddenly smiled and said:

"You'll know later. By the way, I hope you can keep this matter secret for the time being."

Looking at Dumbledore's mysterious smile, Douglas wanted to say Riddler, **Hogwarts.

At this moment, they noticed Harry waving at them.

The two stopped talking and canceled the soundproofing magic.

Harry said quickly:

“I’ve already recorded it all!”

Douglas took the modified radio, turned the FM pointer to the playback position, and pressed the play button.

Soon, a strange hissing sound came from inside. It was the first time Harry heard Parseltongue. It was hard to imagine that this sound came from his mouth. He didn't feel anything when he said it.

In the entire audience, only Harry and Dumbledore listened carefully to the voice in the recording. Even Fawkes, who had just buried himself in the ashes, quietly crawled out and stared at the recorder. Douglas suddenly felt like an outsider.

The recording didn't contain much content and was played out quickly.

Douglas asked quickly:

"Professor, is everything okay?"

Harry snorted inwardly. After all, he still didn't trust me.

Dumbledore said calmly:

"Harry's Parseltongue is fine!"

Then he said to Harry:

"Harry, it's getting late. I think you should go back to dinner..."

Harry glanced at Douglas, then said goodbye, stood up, and walked towards the door.

He now had to go back to Ron and Hermione to have a good talk.

After Harry left, Dumbledore asked while fiddling with the modified recorder:

"Douglas, what's the plan next? What are you going to do?"

Douglas glanced at Fox and said:

"We still need to wait for a while until Fox grows up again. Then we will need him to peck out the basilisk's eyes first.

Then you will need to contact the Ministry of Magic, and they will need to send someone over, preferably someone important.

By the way, if possible, we can also invite Mr. Lucius Malfoy to the school. I heard that he is the school director, and this kind of occasion also requires a school director to come forward and take charge."

Dumbledore glanced at Douglas, thought for a long time and said:

"No problem! Fox is growing up very quickly, I'll let you know when the time comes!"

Douglas nodded, then added:

"One more thing. It's best to have Hagrid raise more roosters during this period. This will make it easier to deal with the basilisk when the time comes."

Without looking up, Dumbledore said:

"no problem!"

Suddenly, a strange song came from the modified radio.

Dumbledore said happily, "Aha, it's Celestina Warbeck's song!"

Douglas suddenly had a bad feeling.

He looked at Dumbledore, who was holding a modified radio in his hand, and his body had begun to sway with the music.
