Hogwarts Slytherin

Today's Quidditch Regis did not go to watch, but went to the Room of Requirement as usual.

When he returned to the dormitory, he found that a celebration was being held inside. After the disastrous defeat against Ravenclaw last time, this victory also allowed the Slytherin team to sweep away the previous slump.

"Reculus!"

"Slytherin!"

I don't know who got a large batch of butterbeer. Almost everyone had a glass in their hands. It seemed that Regulus was doing well this time.

Went through the crowd and prepared to go back to the dormitory to get something.

"Rigi!" Regulus stopped him and greeted him happily.

"Congratulations, I know you are a very good Seeker."

Regulus was somewhat pleased when he heard this, but he reluctantly pretended to be reserved. He was about to say a few more words. He didn't know why, but he always felt very close to Regis.

"what!!!"

"what is that!!!"

"Ah~"

Suddenly, there was a scream from the crowd, followed by several more, as if something terrible had been discovered.

The other students didn't know why, but they were still driven by the panic revealed in the screams. Everyone immediately became a mess and rushed towards the exit of the lounge.

If there are those who are timid, there will naturally be those who are bold.

Some people retreated instead of advancing, heading towards the source of the commotion, and Reggie was one of them.

After glancing at each other with several senior students, as if they didn't see each other, everyone finally saw clearly that there was a snake on the carpet near the fireplace.

The snake is naturally nothing to be afraid of. It is the emblem of Slytherin, and the reason why it scares the little snakes is because it is not a simple snake.

This snake is about four feet long, with an orange body with black stripes. The most disturbing thing is that this guy has three heads!

"Merlin, what is this? It's disgusting."

"This is a rune snake." Nott had obviously recognized this thing. "This one is relatively small, and it probably hasn't reached adulthood yet."

The little wizards who were scared away saw that there was no movement inside, and tremblingly came back, and began to whisper about what a rune snake was.

This snake suddenly appeared in Slytherin's lounge for some unknown reason. As far as Reggie knew, the rune snake was a XXXX-level dangerous creature.

According to records of magical creatures, each of the three heads of the rune snake has its own thoughts.

The head on the left acts as the wise man, deciding where to go and what to do next.

The head in the middle is a reckless man. Simply put, he has an undeveloped mind but does whatever he is asked to do.

The one on the right is a critic. It is worth noting that its teeth contain the strongest poison. It often comments on the actions of the other two heads. This is easy to understand, and it is a snake-like predator.

There are often rune snakes without the right side of their heads, because the other two heads are often criticized by it, so they often choose to bite it to death when they grow up.

It is precisely because the three snake heads will attack each other that the lifespan of this snake is not long.

Runes themselves are not particularly vicious animals, but they are mostly beloved pets of dark wizards, no doubt because those wizards love their scary and intimidating appearance.

They can be classified as XXXX dangerous creatures by the Ministry of Magic. Their personality has nothing to do with their lethality. They are highly poisonous and have strong defenses. They also commit crimes in groups. Incompetent wizards may not be able to defeat them.

Although the rune snake in the lounge is not big, it seems to have quite a bad temper.

Nervous from the screams and now being stared at by so many eyes, it suddenly raised its upper body.

"sizzle"

The three heads shook from side to side and kept making noises.

This move caused another wave of screams, and many people were so scared that they jumped on the table. After all, it didn't look easy to mess with, and with three heads, a bite would be enough.

Among the crowd, Reggie's body froze when it made a "hissing" sound.

"Bite them and run to the second floor. Brother will pick us up." The smuggler on the left planned.

"No, you idiot!" the snakehead on the right roared angrily.

"If we bite these two-legged beasts, will we become like our big brother?" The snakehead in the middle sounded very yearning.

"No! You second idiot!"

"Just bite the one who's been staring at us. He doesn't seem to be very well-informed. He was obviously frightened by us." The snakehead on the left was unmoved. He had already begun to choose his target, and finally focused on a scary person. Silly wizard - Reggie.

Then everyone saw that the snake suddenly moved and slid towards Reggie.

Because those who stayed and went forward were all senior students, or in other words, the devil's bold Death Eater reserves.

Therefore, when standing, Reggie consciously put some distance between himself and others.

Because the goal of the three-headed snake is very clear.

The snake head on the right still disagreed, and his "hiss, hiss" sound became more impatient, but he still couldn't stop his body movements.

"Why can I understand what they say?" Reggie still couldn't come to his senses. "Am I a parselmouth?"

Although the target of the rune snake was Reggie, in this case, some young wizards still pulled out their wands and tried to attack it.

But the disarming spell is just fine.

"Grin Hula La"

Reggie: "..."

"Araho Cave is open!"

I'll drive you...

Great, totally ineffective.

Not only was it ineffective, it also had the opposite effect. Now all three snakeheads were angry.

Originally unable to hit and control the snake body due to disagreements, the speed suddenly increased.

Among the screams, an unknown genius shouted.

"Oolong out of the hole!"

"Hiss, who summoned the great——"

"The smoke will dissipate and ascend to the sky." Withdrawing his wand, Reggie just wanted these geniuses to stop casting spells.

"ssssssssssssssssssssssss out~"

The rune snakes gliding in the direction of Reggie suddenly stopped, raised their heads, spit out messages and started "hissing".

Everyone's eyes wandered between Reggie and the Rune Snake, and the expressions on everyone's faces were extremely shocked.

"What is he saying?"

"Rigi is a Parseltongue?"

"No, that's impossible."

As all Slytherin students know, Salazar Slytherin himself was a Parseltongue, the only Parseltongue in Britain.

Could it be that Reggie is a descendant of Slytherin?

But isn't Reggie a member of the Lestrange family?

Before that, Parseltongue had never been heard of in the Lestrange family.

Several people's expressions suddenly became ugly, including Rodolphus Lestrange, whose eyes were full of shock and fear.

As the heir of the Lestrange family - he knew that the lord was also a Parselmouth and was proof that he was a descendant of Slytherin!

How come Reggie can also speak snake language?

As Reggie kept making "hissing" sounds, although everyone could not understand them, they could clearly see that the runes on the ground had become quieter and put away their attacking posture.

Everyone's reaction was calm and clear. Reggie narrowed his eyes slightly and said in human words: "Mr. Flint, please tell Professor Slughorn that a rune snake suddenly broke into the room." Leitlin Lounge, please come over."

The runes turned their heads and looked at the crowd of spectators in cooperation. Flint happened to be standing in that position and reluctantly stepped aside.

Reggie spoke again, but it turned into creepy snake language again.

Then the three snake heads began to get excited again, and Reggie's expression flashed with a hint of sinisterness. He recited a series of spells that no one could understand.

The Niven snake suddenly fell to the ground, twisted as if twitching, and then became motionless.

Everyone felt very strange and had a little bit of fear that they were not aware of.

"Don't worry, in order to prevent them from hurting people, I let them sleep first." Reggie's expression looked very gentle and he explained casually.

Is...is that so?

The originally lively celebration became a little breathless. For some reason, everyone lost the interest to talk anymore.

At this moment, Reggie exuded an aura that was impossible to ignore.

Although he was not a person who was easily ignored before, but not now, his presence is so strong that those who try their best to pretend that he does not exist can no longer ignore his existence.

If the former Reggie made them feel good about each other, the current Reggie made them a little...awe-stricken.

The person involved, Rui Ji, had already retracted his gaze and concentrated his inner thoughts, but he thought of another thing.

If he is a Parseltongue, then those so-called "Death Eaters" probably don't exist anymore.

From the conversation I just had with the three snake heads, I learned that the big brother they talked about was probably a basilisk.

Professor Slughorn looked a little disheveled and could tell he was in a hurry.

As soon as his belly passed through the door of the lounge, an exaggerated voice sounded: "Merlin! What's going on, Reggie? I heard Mr. Flint that you controlled the runes? Look, He was so frightened that he started talking nonsense."

Flint, who was following Professor Slughorn, gave Reggie a provocative look.

Professor Slughorn immediately made a fuss when he saw the motionless three-headed snake sleeping on the ground.

Reggie didn't speak, and the others didn't know how to speak, so when faced with Professor Slughorn's confused gaze, they had no choice but to look at Reggie.

Reggie blinked, looking very innocent.

"Professor, I heard screaming when I came back, and then someone recognized it as a rune snake, and finally as you see now - I tried to make it faint."

"Merlin!" Professor Slughorn patted his chest, "I think you'd better go back to your room quickly - no, everyone leaves the lounge and goes to the auditorium. I'll inform Dumbledore. I think we'd better Check the lounge thoroughly."

Professor Slughorn used his wand to levitate the rune snake into the air and left the lounge with it.

Others spontaneously walked towards the auditorium, while the male and female prefects knocked on the door one by one to notify those staying in the dormitories to leave quickly.

Reggie noticed that a few people walked to the door, seemed to have thought of something, and then quietly returned to the room.

shook his head.

Just before Professor Slughorn left, he said that he would conduct a thorough investigation of the entire lounge later.

What kind of people are Slytherin students?

"Bad seeds." This is the evaluation given to them by most people from other colleges.

Reggie didn't agree with this view, but there were indeed many purebloods here who had money and leisure.

I'm sure Filch's office will have a bumper harvest.

He wasn't too worried about Snape and Anthony.

First of all, each of them has a storage bag for the Traceless Stretch Spell. Furthermore, since they were told about the Room of Requirement, they have put some things that are inconvenient to carry in the Room of Requirement.

Fortunately for him and Anthony, Snape's roommate was not "one of our own". If something was discovered that shouldn't be discovered, there would inevitably be some trouble.

On the way to the auditorium, a figure who had disappeared from the small team for a while quietly appeared again.

Vivian Shafiq struggled in her heart for a long time, and finally took the initiative to approach Reggie, "Reggie, are you a Parseltongue?"

At the last Yule Ball, Reggie found out that she had become a dance partner with Raillian Hamilton, whom she had openly rejected at the time. He didn't know what she meant by getting closer now.

"No."

"Impossible, I was there just now! I saw the scene where you were talking to the rune snake. You must be speaking snake language, otherwise why would they stop suddenly-"

Reggie suddenly stopped and looked at her inexplicably: "You still ask after knowing?"

Vivian: "..."

This conversation started in a hurry and ended even more hastily.

After speaking, Reggie ignored the stunned Vivian and quickly walked into the auditorium.

******

Things are much more serious than everyone thinks.

After a long wait, they found nothing except the contraband detector that beeped endlessly when they entered the Slytherin lounge.

This also made the matter more serious.

Because after checking everyone's room, no items related to raising rune snake eggs were found. This means that this rune snake was not a pet that was secretly raised by someone and got lost, at least it was not a Slytherin student. Raised.

Runes cannot run into Hogwarts Castle. They need to find out whether people from other houses secretly raise them, or worse, someone deliberately brings them in and throws them into the Slytherin lounge.

This is so evil.

No matter how violent the conflicts between students are, the bottom line of Hogwarts is that no one can be killed, and if bitten by a rune snake, it can kill a young wizard in almost a few minutes. .

Furthermore, the runes are likely to leave snake eggs. For the sake of everyone's future safety, Principal Dumbledore decided to let everyone stay in the auditorium tonight to conduct a thorough investigation of the entire castle.

When the little badgers of Hufflepuff, the little eagles of Ravenclaw, and the lions of Gryffindor were brought to the auditorium by the prefects in confusion, what they saw was that the little snakes of Slytherin had already The scene of laying the floor begins.

Soon everyone's dean explained to them the reason for suddenly gathering everyone. After learning that it was because a rune snake was found in the Slytherin lounge, some people were scared and some were excited.

"Good evening, children." Dumbledore appeared and the auditorium became quiet. "Due to an accident, the castle will conduct a thorough investigation. I regret to inform you that everyone will have to make bunks on the floor in the auditorium tonight. Later, Someone will hand you out sleeping bags.
