Head of Teaching at Hogwarts

After doing these two things, Russell felt that he still needed to work harder.

Should I write to Dumbledore for help?After thinking about it for a while, Russell decisively rejected the idea.

Originally, he was suspected of being the third generation of the Dark Lord in Dumbledore's mind. Now that he had just become the principal of Hogwarts, he wrote directly to Dumbledore asking about the secrets of Slytherin, Horcruxes and Granite. The problem with the Sword of Findor.

Man, who knows what Dumbledore would think.

Maybe it will turn into Russell trying to find out the secrets of Slytherin, and then turning Gryffindor's sword into his Horcrux.

Good guy, you dare to study Horcruxes less than a week after taking office. I don’t even dare to think about what else you dare to do in the future.

Forget it.

Anyway, if something happens, Dumbledore will definitely come back to clean up the mess. It doesn't matter whether Snape reports to him or not.

In this case, feel free to do it at your own pace.

Russell made up his mind, and at noon, the house elves in the Hogwarts kitchen delivered a delicious lunch. After lunch, Russell came to the library again.

In Mrs. Pingsi's complicated eyes, she ran directly to the restricted book area.

Five minutes later, Russell took a copy of "Once Upon a Time in Slytherin" and a copy of "The Secret of Parseltongue" and was about to leave when he heard a familiar voice again.

"Professor, Professor Russell!"

Turning his head, Russell saw Hermione holding her copy of "Charms Learning: From Beginner to Mastery". He stopped, skillfully used earplugs to isolate the sound, and asked: "Gr. Miss Ranger, what's the matter?" Russell was very satisfied with Hermione, a child who was always studying seriously.

"Professor Russell, I would like to ask a question. Is it true that some special wizards can hear sounds that others cannot hear?" Hermione asked seriously.

???

Hear something no one else can?

Why does it sound so weird? The sanity value is so crazy. Could it be that Voldemort's Horcrux changed due to his own reasons and ended up in Hermione's hands?

It seems that Hermione and Ginny are best friends, so it may not be impossible.

Russell couldn't help but become vigilant and asked seriously: "Tell me a more specific situation so that I can make a judgment."

Hermione paused for a moment and seemed to be organizing her words, "I have a friend who seems to always be able to hear some special sounds recently. They are not irregular sounds, but a meaningful paragraph or a few words."

I have a friend. Russell wants to tell Hermione that there are no outsiders here. Is this friend you are talking about yourself?

But as soon as this thought passed by, Russell thought of the reason, thought for a moment and replied: "There are many possibilities here, and I will state them one by one for you."

Hermione nodded happily.

"In the first case, your friend is suffering from auditory hallucinations. This symptom is also found in the Muggle world. Many people will keep repeating a few lyrics in their minds. When the condition worsens, it will turn into auditory hallucinations.

If this is the case, I suggest you take your friend to the school hospital at Hogwarts to see Madam Pomfrey. She will treat your friend with some potions. "

Seeing Hermione shaking his head, Russell continued: "Secondly, maybe your friend has suffered some kind of curse. The castle of Hogwarts is not as safe as you think. For example, there are many restricted books in the library. Books carry a terrible curse.

And most curses come from the soul and can only be heard by the cursed person. "

Hermione seemed thoughtful, but shook her head.

Russell smiled and said: "Then there is only one possibility left, and that is that your friend may have the talent to hear some special sounds.

Let me give you an example. The famous wizard, Salazar Slytherin, one of the four founders of Hogwarts and the first head of Slytherin House, had the ability to talk to snakes.

This ability is a talent related to blood inheritance. Descendants of Slytherin also have the ability to talk to snakes. People with this ability are called Parseltongues.

Maybe your friend has this ability because of his bloodline. I guess he has a similar ability to Parseltongue.

Not necessarily a Parseltongue, maybe some other animal whisperer. "

Looking at Hermione who had gradually believed his third guess, Russell nodded and said: "If this is the case, I suggest you and your friends learn about Slytherin blood and Parseltongue. It just so happens that I’m studying this kind of thing recently.”

As he spoke, Russell showed Hermione two books in his hand: "The Slytherin Bloodline" and "The Secret of Parseltongue".

A few minutes later, under Hermione's embarrassed refusal, Russell handed the two banned books to Hermione and told her to learn Parseltongue to save her friends.

Just like that, Hermione left the library with the two books that Russell almost forced into her hands, ready to learn a new language.

In her opinion, this may be another test for her by Russell, just like the book "Charms Learning: From Beginner to Mastery" that he asked her to read before.

Russell, who was in the principal's office, took a nap comfortably.

Three hours later, Russell stretched out and woke up from the bed. The house elves in the kitchen automatically served dinner, and Russell also made an unskilled hiss from his mouth.

His "Study hard and make progress every day" golden finger also reminded him that after three hours of practice by Hermione Granger, his snake language ability had reached level one.

To reach level two, he needs to train ten level one snake whisperers, or one level two snake whisperer.

The ability of level one snake language allows Russell to understand a few basic words and at the same time master the basic pronunciation rules.

In the library, Russell came up with this lazy method the moment he met Hermione, asking Hermione to learn the language of snakes, and then he could enjoy the results through the golden finger of "study hard and make progress every day".

Now it seems that Hermione worked harder than she thought. She actually started studying as soon as she got the book. Not bad, she is such a good child.
