Snakes at Hogwarts

Parseltongue: Parseltongue refers to the ability to understand the language used by snakes, including some snake-like creatures, such as rune snakes and basilisks, and to talk to snakes very easily. For those who have For a person with such abilities, wizards will think that he or she is a parselmouth.

Interestingly, this language may differ due to differences in region or snake species, specifically reflected in the intonation and length of the snake's hissing, but it is still essentially the same language.

According to my research, Parseltongue is a very rare magic-like ability that is usually hereditary. If a wizard spontaneously awakens such an ability, then this ability is likely to appear in his body many years later. appears again in subsequent generations.

In the European wizarding world, almost all Parselmouths are descendants of Salazar Slytherin. Similarly, he is also the first clearly recorded Parselmouth in the history of European magic, and his descendants awakened in the Gaunt family. Parseltongues are also common.

In Greece, there is a legend circulating that the founder of black magic, the most powerful and craziest warlock in the classical period, the despicable Herbo was also a Parseltongue.

There is no evidence that the despicable Herbo has any blood relationship with Slytherin. Therefore, as I speculated above, the talent of Parseltongue is likely to arise through spontaneous awakening or acquired training.

Similarly, there is no evidence that Parseltongue is necessarily connected with black magic or dark wizards, but wizards often preconceptions that a Parseltongue must be an evil dark wizard.

I can only say that this is a biased view. Not all Parseltongues are dark wizards. Parseltongues also exist among good and honest wizards.

For example, Palaser, a famous master of herbalism and alchemy in the early sixteenth century, was also a Parselmouth, but he was indeed an upright wizard.

The medicinal value and collection methods of the Babo tuber pus discovered by him still directly affect the production and life of modern wizards.

A History of Magic in Basilda Bagshot

"Tell that boy again, what's his name?"

Outside a garbage storage yard in the suburbs of London, Andros lowered his voice and asked the python in front of him.

"Hiss~ Harry Potter"

The giant python looked at Andros with strange eyes. It didn't understand why the little two-legged creature in front of it had such a strange expression on its face after hearing it say that name.

"What's wrong with that boy?"

What is the problem

The problem is getting bigger

This is really the world of Harry Potter

"It's nothing, I just feel like I've heard this name somewhere." Andros responded casually. At this moment, his mind was no longer on the giant python in front of him.

If this is really the world of Harry Potter, then the mysterious power in your body is the so-called magic.

So, I am actually a wizard

And will attend Hogwarts in the same class as Harry Potter

gosh

To be honest, Andros never thought that he could be a wizard. He always thought that he just had some super powers like telekinesis.

Since he traveled through time, the memory of his previous life has become blurry. Even if Andros tried hard to recall, he could only vaguely remember a few dazzling lightnings and a deafening thunder.

It was as if there was a layer of fog that could not be removed, gently covering his memory. Only when he encountered something special like today, Andros would see through the fog and see a small memory of his past life.

Based on these memories, Andros was able to make him realize that this was the world of Harry Potter and recall some of the main plot points.

"Hey, you two-legged beast, have you lost your mind again?" A cold voice came from his ears and suddenly Andros was brought back to reality.

He raised his head and saw the giant python's bright red tongue. Along with its voice, a strong fishy smell mixed with the stench of sewer sewage hit his face.

"Gan!" Andros took a few steps back. At some point, the giant python on the opposite side crawled in front of him.

When Andros found out, the latter's letter was about to spit in his face.

"Why are you so close to me? Are you so scary?" Andros's face was full of fear after the disaster. Anyone who is so close to such a dangerous python can't help but feel frightened.

"Isn't it scary? Why don't I think it's rare?" The giant python patted its tail casually. It had no intention of eating Andros, otherwise it would have done it long ago and wouldn't have endured it until now.

It just wanted to make a harmless joke with Andros, but it didn't expect that the latter would have such a big reaction.

Although he didn't know why the guy in front of him could understand the language of his own tribe, the giant python felt a very close feeling to this guy for no reason.

I had the same feeling when I faced the little boy who released it from the reptile house.

This was the biggest reason why the python didn't choose to attack Andros. If it weren't for this inexplicable feeling of closeness, he might have become a meal in the python's mouth.

What the python didn't tell Andros was that it had eaten an adult Twoleg in the sewer a few days ago, but the latter was skinny and not tasty at all.

Of course, the little two-legged beast in front of me didn't look very appetizing either.

"Your tongue is almost on my face. Besides, how stinky you are, do you know how long you have been in the sewer?" On the other side, Andros had no idea that he had just escaped from hell. He was still roaring lowly at the giant python in front of him.

After experiencing the initial fear and fright, Andros found that he had a natural affection for the giant python in front of him.

This was really strange, and he couldn't understand how he could feel any closeness to a smelly python.

Perhaps this is the hidden effect of Parseltongue.

This ability creates a natural affinity between snakes and parselmouths when facing each other.

So, what is it that is different from ordinary people that allows humans to understand and speak the language of snakes?

Why do most wizards with this ability become dark wizards who do whatever it takes to achieve their goals?

Perhaps there is more to Parseltongue than meets the eye.

"Hisssssss~ It only lasted three or four days." The giant python shook his head slyly. If you include the digestion time, I'm afraid it really took that long.

Of course, it did not tell the little two-legged beast in front of it about its experience in the sewer. It would not tell these inner thoughts to the two-legged beast in front of it.

It'll scare him.

"Besides, your smell is no better than mine." The giant python spit out the letter, a very human face full of ridicule.

淦

Andros put his bag on his back and walked towards another manhole cover not far away without looking back. He never dreamed that he would be ridiculed by a snake one after another.

Who are you looking down on?

If I couldn't beat you, I would have eaten you as protein, you know?

Andros thought fiercely, he didn't want to suffer here anymore, and going back early was the most important thing now.

"Hissing Twoleg where are you going?"

"I'm going home, why are you following me?" When he turned around, Andros was shocked to find that the python that emerged from the sewer was following him closely.

"When you go home, do you have anything to eat at home?"

"I don't have anything. I don't have anything at home. Don't follow me. I can't even support myself." Sensing Xiao Jiujiu in the python's heart, Andros' footsteps became even more urgent.

However, how can humans move faster than pythons?

The latter easily caught up with Andros and blocked his huge body right in front of him.

"I don't care, you have to find me something to eat, hiss~ I finally met a two-legged beast that can speak snake language." The giant python said reluctantly.

How could there be such a shameless creature in this world?

Why should I get you something to eat?

Andros stopped. He was really shocked by the stalking giant python in front of him.

"You are a giant python. Aren't you able to find something to eat more easily than me?"

"Hiss! I'm not familiar with this city. I don't care where I go to find food. I'm going to starve to death. I want to eat."

"you"

"What are you doing? Get me something to eat. Otherwise, I think you are quite delicious." The python spit out the message in a conspiratorial manner, and a pair of yellow eyes scanned up and down Andros' body. , seeming to be thinking about where to start.

"No, I can't support myself, so I have to get food for you."

"Have mercy on me~ I escaped from the reptile house and haven't eaten for many days."

Seeing that the threat had no effect, the python immediately changed its expression and looked at Andros pitifully.

Perhaps it was the strange feeling of closeness in his heart that was at work, but Andros finally nodded in agreement.

Under his leadership, a man and a snake walked through the dark underground waterway.

Perhaps due to some kind of weird talent, Andros discovered very early on that he had a strong memory and sense of direction for this intricate underground structure. This is why he dared to use this place as a safe passage.

In the past few years of scavenging, he has never gotten lost here even once.

Under the leadership of Andros, they walked through the criss-crossing underground sewers for almost an hour. They finally emerged from the sewers along a pipe that was still draining sewage.

This place is already at the edge of the forest, surrounded by trees growing wildly. There is a slowly flowing stream not far away, but it smells bad because the end point of the sewage discharged from the pipes is also right. It's there.

Without stopping here, Andros took the giant python and walked upstream of the stream along a path made with his feet.

Under the cover of night, everything around was pitch black, and a few sparse sounds of wind made the branches tremble and make rustling sounds.

"Hiss, how long will it take? I'm going to starve to death."

"We're almost there. Besides, I'm not forcing you. This is why you insisted on following me while crying."

After walking for almost half an hour, one person and one snake finally came to a hut built with leaves, dead branches, and scraps. This was also the result of Andros’s scavenging career in the past few years. A hut built in the forest A secret stronghold in the depths.

"Speaking of which, you were the first one to come here." He threw his backpack aside casually, and while taking off his clothes, Andros said to the giant python next to him, but the latter didn't seem to dare to do this. interest.

"Where is the food? Is the food in the house? I can already smell the food."

The giant python that was just about to climb in through the window of the house suddenly found that its body seemed to have lost control. Then, under its horrified eyes, a mysterious ability lifted it into the air and threw it in front of the house. in the stream.

"Go take a shower first, it will stink to death, then go in after you take a shower."
