Retirement from Hogwarts

"What do you mean? You were there at the time. You heard me." Harry looked at Ginny strangely and asked.

"We heard you speaking in Parseltongue," Neville said. "The language of snakes. Anything you say is possible. No wonder Justin was so frightened. It sounded like you were egging on the snake." 's. That's creepy, you know."

Harry stared at him, dumbfounded.

"I spoke another language? But - I didn't realize it - how could I speak another language and not know it?" Harry stammered.

Neville shook his head.Both he and Ginny looked heavy-hearted, as if someone had died.Harry didn't understand what could be so terrible.

"Can you tell me what's wrong with stopping an ugly snake from biting off Jia Xinting's head?" Harry said, "As long as Justin doesn't join the ranks of the headless ghosts, what do I do? What’s the relationship?”

"It's very important," Hermione finally lowered her voice, "because Salazar Slytherin is famous for being able to talk to snakes. Therefore, the symbol of the Slytherin school is a snake."

Harry couldn't help but open his mouth after hearing Hermione's words.

"That's right," Neville said. "Now, I'm afraid the whole school will think you're his great-great-grandson or something."

"But I'm not," Harry said.He had a panic he couldn't explain.

"You'll find this hard to prove," Hermione said. "He lived some 1 years ago; from all we know, it's likely that you are his descendant."

"This... this... how is it possible?"

Harry held his head and said in pain.

"Don't think too much Harry, you can't be a descendant of Slytherin. The last known descendant of Slytherin in the world is You-Know-Who. If you are really a descendant of Slytherin, he will not treat you. You did it." Jack shook his head and said to Harry. "And the Potter family was once as big a family as the Slytherin family. There is no way you are a descendant of Slytherin."

"Potter family?!" the other four people asked in unison.

"The Potter family is one of the twelve duke families who were canonized when the Magical Court established by the Magic Emperor Lucy still existed. Compared to Malfoy, the bloodline is much higher." Jack looked at it with a surprised look on his face. The other four people said, "You don't think that any family can leave their own family legacy in the Hogwarts inheritance path, do you?"

"It's already this hour. Why are you still gathering here? Why don't you go back to the dormitory and go to bed? Do you have to meet Slytherin's monster to be happy?" At this time, the librarian Mrs. Pince appeared out of nowhere. out.They were kicked out of the library without explanation.

. . . . . .

In the following days, the entire atmosphere in Hogwarts was extremely tense due to Colin being attacked and Harry's Parseltongue revealed in the Duel Club.Just when people's tense nerves are relaxing because Christmas is coming and they can leave school

When they came down, the murderer committed another crime as if to tease their nerves.

"Let's do it! Let's do it! Let's do it again! No matter human or ghost, we are not immune! Run for your life! Let's do something!" Peeves's cry echoed throughout the school.Apparently, the descendant of Slytherin wasn't planning on giving people a merry Christmas in the last week before Christmas.

Bang - bang - bang -, the doors in the corridor were pushed open one after another, and people poured out.In those excruciating minutes, the scene was extremely chaotic. Harry, who was at the center of the incident, tended to be squeezed, and people kept standing in the body of the almost headless Nick.Harry found himself pushed against the wall.At this time, the teachers shouted loudly to maintain order.

Professor McGonagall ran all the way, followed by the students in her class, one of whom still had black and white hair.Professor McGonagall made a loud noise with her wand, and everyone suddenly fell silent. She ordered everyone to return to their classrooms.As soon as everyone had dispersed, Hufflepuff's Ernie rushed to the scene out of breath.

"Caught in the act!" Ernie turned pale, pointed at Harry dramatically, and yelled.

"That's enough, Ernie!" said Professor McGonagall sternly.Peeves floated overhead, looking down on the scene.At this time, he opened his mouth and showed a wicked smile. Peeves always feared that the world would be in chaos.

As the teachers bent over Justin and Nearly Headless Nick, Peeves suddenly began to sing: "Oh, Potter, you wretch, look at the good things you did, you killed the students, yourself I find it interesting——"

"Stop it, Peeves!" Professor McGonagall, who looked ugly, roared angrily at Peeves. Peeves stuck out his tongue at Harry and backed away quickly.

Justin was carried to the hospital ward by Professor Flitwick and Professor Astra from the Department of Astronomy, but no one seemed to know what to do with the almost headless Nick.Finally, Professor McGonagall conjured a large fan out of thin air, handed it to Ernie, and ordered him to fan Nick, who was almost headless, up the stairs.

"What do you think?" Dumbledore asked the other teachers as he hurried over.

"I don't think this is the scene of the first crime. Judging from the diameter of those pipes, the monster cannot enter this corridor. And the wallpaper here is not damaged." Professor McGonagall looked at the narrow corridor and analyzed.

"I think it won't be difficult to use a transformation spell on the basilisk and take him around the world in Hogwarts." Snape said, staring at Harry maliciously. "Maybe that monster is in his pocket right now."

"I didn't!" Harry angrily turned out every pocket on his robes.The Weasley magic tricks Jack gave him for self-defense were scattered all over the floor. "I swear I didn't—"

"That's enough, Snape. A person is innocent until proven guilty. Any malicious slander and slander is the greatest insult to them and yourself. And even I can't do anything to a basilisk. Use the shrinking spell." Professor McGonagall flapped her nostrils and her eyes seemed ready to spit out fire at any moment.

"I don't mean to hurt anyone, but I don't think there is anything in the school rules that says students can carry weapons of mass destruction with them," Snape picked up a grenade-shaped magic item from the ground and said to Dumbledore.
