Chapter 37 Parseltongue (Thanks to the Boss for the Reward, I Added It Overnight for the Boss
Chapter 37 Parseltongue (Thanks to the boss for the reward, I will update the boss overnight)
The auditorium was filled with the screams of the little wizard.
Many witches were frightened and fainted, and even Snape turned pale.
Of course, Snape wasn't afraid of a snake that was a million points bigger. Being able to be affected by the Expansion Curse proves that the snake itself is not a magical animal and does not have much magic resistance. It only needs a magic spell to kill it.
But now that there is such a huge commotion, what should the little wizards do if they are injured?
He couldn't help but resent Flint, this useless idiot, who taught him to use the expansion spell on summoned objects?
But at this moment, Flint had been knocked unconscious by the big snake he had conjured.
"Calm down!"
Snape had to put a spell on his voice so that it could reach the ears of every young wizard. This was probably the only time in his life that he spoke so loudly that Harry felt like his ears were filled with Snape's voice, which made him sick for a while.
"Ginny, run!" Ron's face was full of panic. He, Percy and the twins wanted to rush forward and pull Cyrus back, but the little wizards were all running away. Almost a thousand people were crowded together, like It was the offshore tide that took them farther away.
Hermione was completely panicked. She didn't know what to do, and her mind went blank until Harry called her to stop her.
"Send me there, Hermione!"
"What?"
"Send me to Ginny!" Harry shouted anxiously.
"But, what to do?"
"Use the Levitation Charm on my clothes." Harry quickly came up with an idea.
"Okay, I get it!" If Hermione had been calmer, she would have thought that instead of sending Harry there, it would be better to bring "Ginny" over directly. But now she couldn't turn around and could only passively follow the instructions.
Fortunately she hasn't forgotten the spell yet.
"Yuga di Leviosa——"
As Hermione raised her wand, Harry immediately felt as if his clothes were caught on something and flew up with him.
His field of vision suddenly became higher. He loved to see Hermione's panic face, and saw Ron who was originally with them but was squeezed away. He tried desperately to get closer to Ginny but was tripped by Draven. George and Frey De was caught by Li and Wood. Percy's physical strength was not very good. Harry only saw his face struggling and being drowned by the crowd...
Harry quickly felt himself spinning, and then he was slammed onto the stage, between Ginny and the giant black snake.
"Harry?"
"Pote?"
Cyrus and Snape made surprised sounds at the same time.
"Why are you here, Harry?" Cyrus asked calmly.
"I -" Harry wanted to speak, but his hand was sprained when he fell to the ground, and he gasped in pain.
"Don't move! Damn, Weasley - let me do it -" Snape took a step forward, his heart hanging, fearing that Harry and Cyrus might offend the snake with their slightest move.
He didn't dare to cast a spell directly to kill it. Even if the poisonous snake was dead, it was still dangerous. Even if it only had one head, it could bite through a person's body with its fangs!
But Harry felt that he couldn't listen to Snape.
He can talk to snakes!
He took a step forward without thinking much, his eyes looking directly at the black snake.
Cyrus looked at Harry's little back and could see that Harry himself was actually very scared. But Ginny Weasley was his best friend's sister, so he could risk his life to save her.
Of course Cyrus didn't need his help: "Harry, you don't need—"
But Harry had already opened his mouth and made a hoarse, terrifying sound——
The Great Hall suddenly fell silent, which was much more effective than the amplifying spell Snape had used.
The huge black snake suddenly became quiet, leaned over and put its head on Harry's chest, looking so docile.
"It's okay, Ginny..." Harry breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and touched the black snake's head, and then turned his head. Only then did he realize that something was wrong. A thousand people in the entire auditorium stared at him in horror. .
"What's wrong?"
Harry looked confused.
But before anyone could respond to him, Cyrus grabbed his wrist and jumped off the stage with him.
"What's wrong?"
"Stop talking and leave!" Ron rushed over quickly and grabbed Harry's other hand, and Hermione quickly followed.
Wherever they passed, everyone quickly made way. They looked away from Harry almost as if they were seeing the snake itself.
They were silent all the way until they rushed from the first floor to the tower and arrived at the empty Gryffindor common room. Ron then asked:
"You're a Parseltongue. Why didn't you tell us?"
"What am I?" Harry didn't understand, but he obviously realized something was wrong.
"Parseltongue!" Cyrus pretended as if it was the first time he knew such a surprising thing, "You can talk to snakes!"
"I see," said Harry. "I mean, this is the second time I've done this. Once at the zoo, I accidentally let a python out, and it pounced on my cousin Dudley - it's a long story, but the python told me it had never been to Brazil, and I let it out without knowing it, I didn't mean to. I didn't know I was a wizard at the time..."
"A python tells you it's never been to Brazil?" Ron asked in a weak voice.
"Why?" said Harry. "I bet a lot of people here can do that."
"You're wrong, Harry," Cyrus shook his head. "Only a few people can understand the language of snakes. Very few, and it's terrible."
"What's terrible?" asked Harry. "But if I hadn't told the snake to be quiet, it might have attacked you!"
"Oh, that's what you said to him?"
"What do you mean? You were there... you heard me."
"We can't understand. I heard you speak in Parseltongue, the language of snakes. Anything you say is possible. It sounds like you're encouraging the snake. It's creepy, you know?" said Cyrus.
He certainly has this ability, but unlike Harry, he has more control over Parseltongue.
"Of course, I know you'd never hurt me, but they won't think so."
Harry stared at him in amazement: "I'm speaking another language? But - I didn't realize - how could I speak another language without knowing it?"
Ron shook his head. He and Hermione both looked heavy-hearted, as if someone had died. Harry didn't understand what was so terrible.
"But even if that's the case, so what? You believe me, that's enough, you know I'm going to save you, right?" He said to Cyrus, "In this case, what does it matter whether I can talk to snakes?"
"It matters a lot," Hermione finally spoke in a low voice, "because being able to talk to snakes is Salazar Slytherin's famous ability. So, the symbol of Slytherin House is a snake."
Harry's mouth opened wide.
"That's right," Cyrus said, "Now, everyone in the school will think you are a descendant of Slytherin, but his great-great-great-grandson and so on... They will think that you are the descendant of Slytherin who opened the Chamber of Secrets."
"But I'm not," Harry said. He had a panic that he couldn't explain.
"You'll find it hard to prove," Hermione said. "He lived about a thousand years ago; from all we know, you're probably his descendant."
"Not to mention --" Cyrus looked into Harry's eyes and pursed his lips, "Not to mention, gossip never requires your consent."
Harry was immediately struck by a silent force.
