Chapter 279 The Core of the Sorting Hat [Zi Mu He]

Chapter 279 Sorting Hat - The Core of [Mother and Child River]

"You only know Parseltongue? No relationship with Sarah?"

"Only Parseltongue."

"What about you and Gryffindor?"

"No relationship."

"What house are you in then? Gryffindor or Slytherin?"

"Neither. Now wizards have their own house."

"Goodbye, lucky kid. I'm going to continue hibernating."

Although the conversation between Harry and the basilisk seemed to be just a strange hissing sound to others.

Even linguists who have dabbled in Parseltongue are the same.

Except for congenital serpent talkers like Voldemort, ordinary linguists who know Parseltongue are still based on one-sided speaking, and it is still difficult to communicate.

But they can still see the action of the basilisk swimming back into the water and returning to the entrance of the mouth of the Slytherin statue.

Krum is looking at it. He is a ghost, and he can cast magic and has magic power. He will not be temporarily petrified by the basilisk's stare like other ghosts.

Fleur closed her eyes, relying on her superhuman senses.

The audience saw it most clearly through the screen.

(Audience members like Ron who couldn't understand were mostly curious about what Harry said, and why the basilisk went back so quickly?)

(Those who understood the conversation like Voldemort wanted to replace him, and Voldemort was so angry that he trembled, "Stupid boy.")

(In his opinion, the basilisk gave Harry many opportunities, just one lie, and it didn't count as a lie.)

(First, Harry digested his soul, and it was a descendant of Slytherin in a few words.)

(Second, Harry himself was a student of Gryffindor College, even if he was from another world, but why didn't he count?)

"Harry, why did it suddenly leave?"

"What did you just say?"

In the face of Krum and Fleur's questions, Harry hissed to the basilisk, "Wait, I have a few more questions."

After the basilisk really stopped, he relayed the content of the conversation to Krum and Fleur.

"You are really--" Cedric was stunned.

Krum and Fleur were also speechless.

(Countless viewers wanted to open Harry's brain to see what it was made of and whether it was filled with paste.)

Harry said seriously: "I always feel that telling the truth is more appropriate."

After the Magic Fairy World, he had completely mastered the snake language. He found that as a parselmouth, he was not only able to communicate with snakes, but also able to control them, and the hissing snake language itself had an unpredictable magic.

Although he communicated with the basilisk through the treasure book, he had somehow figured out the basilisk's temperament and knew that it preferred to be clear and direct and hated lies.

"Sensitive little devil, in view of your truth, I can give you an extra question on the basis of the three questions." The basilisk suddenly spoke human language.

This scared Krum and Fleur.

"Can you understand what we are saying?"

"Can you speak human language?"

"Of course," the huge snake head was raised high, black spikes stood up, and the cold snake pupils looked at the treasure book, "I am the creation of the great Slytherin. Knowing human language is just one of my most insignificant abilities. What I am best at is identifying lies and understanding people's hearts. You should be very glad that the Parseltongue you know did not lie."

("Hiss," Dumbledore frowned, "Slytherin was able to teach this serpent monster his magic of soul reading?")

"Tell me, what is your problem?"

"Do you know where the core of [Zi Mu River] is?" Harry asked.

"【Zi Mu River】? Someone asked me about it again." The frighteningly large yellow eyes narrowed slightly, "Water, the symbolic element of Slytherin, as her creation, I can clearly sense the strange vitality surging in the water as I live on the water veins of Hogwarts."

"Every once in a while, I will go out hunting through underground rivers and pipes."

"The intervals are very long for you, about once every 40 years."

"The last time I woke up normally, I happened to witness the birth of the 【Zi Mu River】."

"Just?" Krum couldn't help but interrupt.

"It can't be said to be just right. I guard the water veins of Hogwarts, stabilize it, and purify the water quality." The snake head swayed, "If I were here, the 【Zi Mu River】 that changed the nature of the water would die in the womb."

"The headmaster must have noticed me, or the loopholes in my mechanism for guarding the water veins, and took advantage of the stage when I woke up to hunt, and created the 【Zi Mu River】 you mentioned."

"How do you know he is the headmaster." Krum asked.

"Because only wizards who have been recognized by this ancient building can do it. In addition to the direct descendants of the Big Four, only the principal of Hogwarts who took office through normal procedures can do this." The ferocious snake mouth twisted into an expression similar to a smile.

"The third question has been answered. Next, before I finish answering the first question, I hope you don't have any other questions."

Krum wanted to argue, but in order to avoid it from being regarded as a question, he shut up.

(Ron slapped his head, "It's over, Krum is lagging behind, his grades are definitely")

"It's in the principal's office. A creation that embodies the thoughts of the Big Four, looks fragile, but is actually indestructible - the Sorting Hat."

(Seamus was puzzled, "The Sorting Hat is not connected to the water pipe, how does it change the water quality?")

"Can't be truly destroyed? How does it change the water quality?" Harry couldn't help but ask.

("This is the last question! Is Harry wasted like this?" Ron was surprised.)

(Ginny still defended her boyfriend, "Harry and the others' mission is to prevent the destruction of the [Mother River], which means there must be a way for the Sorting Hat to be destroyed. Understand why it is immortal and how it serves as the source of the Mother River." The core principle is a necessary question.")

"It's the same question again. If you really want to compare, it's still two people. As a creature of the great Slytherin, I should abide by her last wish, inherit her hatred of wizards, and protect the secret of the Sorting Hat."

"But... the long years tell me, and the last thing left on the statue tells me that what she cares about has always been Gryffindor's love."

"Her favorite hat being transformed into the core of [Zi Mu River] is definitely not what she wants to see."

"So. I can answer this question for you, but it only counts as one."

"Great!" Krum waved his fist.

"I'm not talking to you," the basilisk snorted, "What's your name, kid."

"Harry Potter." Harry replied.

"What a good name. No wonder you and I get along so well." Part of the basilisk's body returned to the water. "You can call me Hallitan."

("Haritan? In Arabic, it means immortal." Dumbledore speculated whether this basilisk might be Slytherin herself, who transformed in pursuit of immortality.)

"Whether it is the Sorting Hat or the [Mother River], their immortality is rooted in the magical magnetic field of this ancient building. The change in the water quality of Hogwarts is also due to the principal who, through the authority of the principal, transformed the Sorting Hat and transformed it into The invisible foundation - the magic circle is implanted in it, treating the entire Hogwarts magic magnetic field as an invisible huge crucible, smelting potions, thereby changing the nature of the water, giving them that weird vitality. "

"Therefore, if you want to change the destruction of the Sorting Hat, there is only one way."

"The destruction of the Sorting System, the Sorting System, and the thoughts of the four giants in the Sorting Hat are the immortal source of its connection to the magical magnetic field of this ancient building."

"As long as the source of immortality still exists, even if the Sorting Hat is burned to ashes, it will reappear intact in the principal's office."

"When the Sorting Hat is destroyed, the foundation attached to it, which is the [Child Mother River], will also be destroyed."

("There's only one way." The smart Ron thought of another idea, "Wouldn't it be okay to just destroy Hogwarts?")

(Ginny covered her forehead, "How come I have a brother like you? It's obvious that all I need to do is cancel the existence of four colleges, but you want to directly destroy Hogwarts as well. What do you think?")

"Does it have to be like this? Can't we just destroy the foundation?" Harry asked quickly. He didn't want the Sorting Hat to be destroyed at the expense.

(Neville discovered the blind spot, "Why are you in such a hurry, Harry? Their mission is to protect the [Zimu River]. Those who don't know better would think that they and Riddle are in the same party!")

"You can just destroy the foundation. But only the headmaster of Hogwarts has the authority to do this."

"Okay, the quiz game is over." The Basilisk got into the passage, "I hope we have the chance to meet again."

Slytherin's huge stone face moved again, its mouth closing.

Fleur opened her eyes, "I really didn't expect the Sorting Hat to be the core of [Zi Mu River]."

"I know how Riddle destroyed [the Mother River]," Harry said, "just like I did in second year, causing an incident in the school and deposing Dumbledore. Then he only had to elect one of his own. Carry out teaching reforms to achieve the goal.”

"So we just have to wait?" Krum added.

"Still have a good time in class." Cedric reminded, "It's 1:30 in 20 minutes. You guys should get back to the ground as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Krum directly canceled his body here, leaving Fleur alone in the dark cave.

As Cedric said, in the next few days, Harry and the others had been attending classes well.

Because, for wizards, their schoolwork is already very heavy.

There are ten subjects they need to take: Potions, History of Magic, Astronomy, Herbology, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Divination, Care of Magical Creatures, and Muggle Studies.

Witches who study in the normal nine-year school system are not as busy as they are in sixth grade.

For them, history of magic, herbal medicine, astronomy, spells, and transfiguration are a must.

In these five courses, regardless of their O.W.Ls (Ordinary Wizarding Level) test scores, they can take advanced classes.

The remaining Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Divination, Care of Magical Creatures, and Muggle Studies all require O.W.Ls (Ordinary Wizarding Level) examination results.

Among them, Divination, Care of Magical Creatures, and Muggle Studies are electives.

In other words, unless a witch has taken all the elective courses and her O.W.Ls (Ordinary Wizarding Level) exam scores are up to standard, her coursework will be as heavy as that of a wizard.

Normally, witches usually only choose one of the three elective courses. Potion requirements are high and the grades may not be up to standard.

That is to say, when wizards have to take ten courses, the average witch only takes seven courses.

As for Harry and the others, they also need to pay attention to the changes on campus, and at the same time, with the help of Percy, practice Occlumency.

In their opinion, this was necessary after Harry collapsed in Sirius's arms, unable to struggle.

The witch's charm was more deadly than they thought.

Occlumency is a magic used to seal one's mind and prevent Legilimency from spying on one.

Its most basic form involves clearing the mind - not thinking, not remembering, not feeling, so as to prevent the Legilimency master from feeling one's emotions and thoughts.

The more advanced Occlumency is to only seal one's specific thoughts, emotions and memories, thereby creating an impeccable "illusion" for the Legilimency master.

Moreover, since one's emotions are sealed, even if one cannot lie, the lies told are natural and flawless.

Therefore, Occlumency is simply the magic of choice for double agents.

If it were not for the great willpower required to use Occlumency, similar to the effect of resisting the Imperius Curse, in addition to the high degree of psychological and emotional self-discipline, it would definitely become a controlled magic.

After all, to some extent, wizards with advanced Occlumency can even deceive themselves to achieve the effect of Veritaserum.

In this world, it can also resist the charm of witches.

But it happened that in Occlumency, all three people had problems in their practice.

It's not that their willpower is not good enough.

It's because if Occlumency wants to improve quickly, it can't do without the help of Legilimency.

They need a wizard to use Legilimency to train their brains to resist the outside world.

But the existence of the magic fairy device makes it impossible for others to shake their hearts and invade their brains.

In other words, they can only empty themselves and meditate in the most primitive way.

And they can't effectively observe the progress of their Occlumency.

"That's enough." Harry complained boredly while taking a pop quiz in Muggle Studies.

Which (which) departments and/or committees of the Ministry of Magic can be contacted to solve the following dilemmas? (Questions 1 to 5)

1. Your neighbor has secretly hidden flying carpets at home, and he also allows some of them to fly around in his back garden.

a. Wizengamot

b. Department of International Magical Cooperation

c. Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Artifacts

d. All of the above

e. None of the above

Harry wrote a twisted c in ().

("Harry made the wrong choice." As the son of the Office for the Prohibition of Misuse of Muggle Artifacts, Ron said confidently, "Flying carpets, like flying brooms, are not Muggle items. They are banned in the UK, but legal in other countries. You should choose 'b' Department of International Magical Cooperation. This is clearly a smuggled item.")

Among the three male warriors, only he is surrounded by witches.

"Stupid question."

Harry, Ron, Draco's sticking, and the approach of Sirius, an adult witch, have made him the warrior who needs brain occlusion the most.

But now.
