Chapter 133: Spearhead
"You're a Parseltongue!" Ron said, "You can talk to snakes!"
Fanlin and his men pulled Harry out of the Great Hall, and only when they returned to the empty Gryffindor Common Room did all kinds of questions come like a storm.
"Is there anything strange?" Harry said in confusion. Since he stopped the snake, everyone looked at Harry with strange eyes, as if they were looking at some monster.
"I said, this is only the second time I've done this. Once in the zoo, I accidentally stopped a boa constrictor that was wrapped around my cousin Dali. Although I let the snake out - it's a long story - it told me that it had never been to Brazil, so I let it go free. That was before I knew I was a wizard."
"A boa constrictor told you that it had never been to Brazil?" Fanlin repeated in disbelief.
"Well!" Harry said, "The snake was raised in the zoo, it has never returned to its homeland, and I bet many people here can do it."
"Oh, no, they can't." Ron said, "This is not an ordinary thing. Harry, this is too bad."
"What's wrong with this?" Harry began to get angry, "What's wrong with each of you?"
Harry was angry, "Listen, if I didn't tell the snake not to attack Fanlin..."
"Oh, is that what you said to it?" Ron asked quickly. In fact, Fanlin also knew what Harry meant. After all, they were good friends, and Harry had no reason to let the snake attack him.
It is very likely that Gilderoy's spell successfully angered the snake, and Malfoy was out of control, but these seemed insignificant in the face of Harry's reaction.
"What do you mean? You were there, you heard me talking." Harry glared at Ron, and Harry was very sad for Ron's distrust.
"I heard you speak Parseltongue," Ron replied, "the language of snakes. You must have said something. No wonder everyone was so frightened. You sounded like you were instigating the snake or something. It's annoying, you know."
Harry stared at him in amazement.
"I spoke another language? But - I didn't realize it - how could I speak another language and not know it?"
Valen shook his head. He and Hermione looked like someone had died. Harry couldn't imagine why it was so horrible.
"Don't you want to tell me that there's nothing wrong with stopping a filthy big snake from biting off Valen's head?"
He said, "How I did it, is it as important as Valen not having to become a headless ghost?"
"Yes. Calm down, Harry!" Valen finally answered in a soothing voice, as the person involved, he needed to express his thoughts.
"It's not that we don't trust you, of course I know what you mean, you have no reason to hurt me, right Harry?" Valen said to himself.
"But, although we can understand what you mean, they don't. In fact, we have guessed it. It is not a human language at all, and it is difficult for them to accept it. After all, because..."
"Because the one who can talk to snakes is Sarasa." Hermione said with a somewhat ugly face.
"Salazar Slytherin is most famous for being able to talk to snakes. That's why the symbol of Slytherin College is a snake."
After listening to Hermione's words, Harry's mouth was unable to close for a long time.
"In fact, now the whole school will think that you are Salazar's great-great-great-great-great-grandson or something..."
"But I'm not." Harry said in a painful voice that even he couldn't explain.
"You will find out how difficult it is to prove this," Hermione said, "He was a person more than 1,000 years ago. We all know this, and you know it too."
"In fact, Harry, even if you show such a talent in normal times, it is very terrifying, not to mention now..." Vanlin said hesitantly, the situation is not optimistic.
"But, I'm really not his descendant, and I didn't open the secret room!" Harry said a little crazy.
"No, Harry, you know, we believe you, but others don't think so..." Fanlin said with a sigh, "Maybe you will be very sad in the future..."
Harry couldn't sleep that night. Through the cracks in the curtains hanging on the four pillars, he watched the snow begin to fall from the tower window and float in the air.
He just held Hedwig in one hand, sat on the windowsill of the room, looked at the night of Hogwarts, and stared at it.
Fanlin didn't fall asleep either, but when he saw Harry's situation, although he wanted to say something, the words were on his lips, but he couldn't say it.
This is a contradiction, just like the contradictions between people and things mentioned in many philosophy books.
Fanlin knew that only by solving the problem of the secret room could Harry's situation really get better.
Somehow, it was like an invisible thread that tied the four of them to all kinds of strange things in Hogwarts, especially about black magic.
The next day, Harry felt the resistance from Hogwarts. Everyone looked at him with scrutiny, as if they had already confirmed that he was the heir, and the eyes they looked at Harry became somewhat fearful.
Harry wanted to explain what happened yesterday, but except for Hermione and Ron, no one was willing to contact Harry, especially the new acquaintances such as Juttings, who reluctantly believed Harry's words a while ago.
But since Harry's Parseltongue was exposed, he returned to his state of suspicion, even worse than before.
He and a few good friends have been talking about Harry, and then pointing fingers at Harry, and running away as soon as they meet him.
People everywhere say that Harry is the murderer, the heir of Slytherin, and some say that Harry is the descendant of Slytherin, which makes Harry very uncomfortable.
Even the Weasley brothers, Fred and George, who usually like to joke with Harry, are not so happy. They are very tactful and don't joke with Harry, but they have lost their previous interest.
Ginny Weasley and Ron are Harry's staunch supporters, which even super fanboy Colin has to admire.
What makes Harry most gratified is that there are still people in Slytherin who are willing to believe him, Laura Chris! Harry was glad that he could meet this Slytherin girl.
However, Laura looked weaker and sicker, which made everyone worried.
In fact, because of Malfoy, Laura was completely isolated in Slytherin. (To be continued)
