HP: The Blood Prince of Hogwarts

Chapter 37 Parseltongue

Olga actually had a hundred ways to make Lockhart wake up immediately, but she didn't because the smoke would stink her eyes.

She walked off the stage as if nothing had happened, smiled in the direction of Ginny and Hermione, and left the dungeon.

"The monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk. You must be careful and tell Harry not to commit suicide."

Zero heard Olga's voice in his mind and looked in the direction Olga left in surprise. Your Highness...

Draco wanted to chase Olga, but was stopped by Snape.

"Should I not have to repeat how turbulent things have been in school recently? Let's take this opportunity to practice spells in pairs. Draco -"

Snape looked at Harry with a sarcastic look.

"In a group with the famous Mr. Potter."

Everyone seemed to have forgotten about Lockhart who was still lying on the ground, and all their attention was focused on this pair of famous rivals in the school.

"bow."

Snape's voice was flat.

Harry was nervous, but the only person who could help him at this time had just left.

Draco was very grateful to his godfather for giving him a fair chance to defeat Potter, and it was a good opportunity to settle both old and new grudges together.

So when he heard the number "two", he couldn't help but cast a spell to hit Harry.

Harry stumbled and yelled, "Grinning!"

Draco fell to his knees with laughter, but he did not forget to point his wand at Harry.

"Tarantella!"

Harry immediately started to jiggle uncontrollably.

The two of them acted as if they had agreed, and neither of them tried to cast the spell continuously.

Snape walked over to Draco and whispered something, and Draco looked at Harry and gave him his signature mocking smile.

"Oolong out of the cave."

A long black snake sprang out from the top of Draco's wand, and the young wizards below were all startled.

Justin dared not move as the snake swam towards him.

Harry shouted anxiously at the snake, "Stay away from him!"

A magical scene appeared. After staring at Harry for a while, the black snake really slowly retreated.

Harry was very happy, but he found that Justin, who should have been grateful to him, gave him an annoyed look.

"Are you ordering it to attack me?!"

Justin rushed out of the classroom after shouting this. Harry looked at everyone else helplessly and found that everyone looked at him with a strange expression.

Snape stepped forward without a word and waved his wand, and the black snake disappeared in a wisp of black smoke.

He looked at Harry with a complicated expression. Potter...

Until he was dragged by Ron, Hermione and Zero into the deserted bathroom where they often discussed things, Harry still couldn't understand why everyone was looking at him like that.

Ron: "You're a Parseltongue? Why didn't you tell us?"

"What?" Harry was confused.

"Parseltongue! You can talk to snakes!"

Harry: "I know, I once released a python at the zoo to scare my cousin... but so what, I bet a lot of people could do it."

"No! That's not ordinary talent, Harry. It's terrible." Hermione said seriously.

Harry didn't understand: "What's so bad about this? If I hadn't told the snake not to attack Justin--"

"You told him that?" Ron interrupted Harry.

Harry: "Weren't you there too? You should have heard it."

"I heard you hissing, like a snake talking," said Ron. "Like you were egging the snake on."

Only then did Harry realize that no one could understand what he was saying and that he had accidentally spoken another language.

"But why..." Harry was confused.

"The symbol of Slytherin is a snake, and that's because - Salazar Slytherin was a Parseltongue."

Hermione reminded, "Remember the information Olga gave? Only the heir of Slytherin can open the Chamber of Secrets, and you—can speak Parseltongue."

Ron: "If we weren't together every day, I would probably suspect that you opened the Chamber of Secrets."

"The monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk."

Zero suddenly interrupted at this moment.

The three of them looked at him.

"Yes...His Highness told me."

Zero said in a low voice, still a little embarrassed.

Hermione smiled knowingly: "Then it makes perfect sense. Why is it that only Harry can hear those strange noises?"

"So what we need to figure out now is: who opened the secret room, and how the basilisk attacks people in the school."

"Let me see who's here!"

A sharp female voice sounded, and the four of them turned their heads at the same time - it was Myrtle.

"It's you again. Why do you always come to this remote place? What are you plotting?"

She suddenly moved in front of Ling, just a little bit away from touching him.

"Well, you are really good-looking."

Myrtle said shyly, suddenly turning to Hermione again.

"Such a handsome boy, do you like him?"

Hermione's eyes widened. She didn't dare to like it, because Zero belonged to Olga!

Harry and Ron also looked at Olga, one with gossip and the other with a strange expression.

"Who says that something looks good must be liked!" she retorted.

Hermione didn't notice that Ron seemed relieved.

"Why don't you like him if he's good-looking! Aren't girls your age supposed to like good-looking boys?"

Myrtle floated behind Hermione.

"Before, a Slytherin girl came here crying and kept talking about Theodore. Well, I have seen that boy, he is indeed very handsome..."

"I wanted to comfort her, but she got mad at me! She said I was as annoying as that Olga! It's so weird! No wonder the boy she likes doesn't like her!"

Myrtle felt a little angry when she thought about it.

Ling's expression suddenly changed. Who dared to scold His Highness?

Hermione was also very angry when she heard this. Olga was so cute, if someone didn't like her, it was definitely that person's problem!

"Who is that Slytherin student?"

Zero's tone was calm, but Harry and Ron inexplicably felt his anger.

"Hey, you can talk now!"

Myrtle seemed to have discovered a new world.

"I usually only hear them talking, this is the first time I hear you speak!"

She floated to Zero's side coyly.

“It’s a bit surprising~”

"who is it."

Zero paid no attention to what Myrtle was saying and just stubbornly wanted an answer.

Hermione thought that Zero's attitude would annoy Myrtle, and if she started crying or just left, they wouldn't know who she was.

Just when I was about to help him make amends, I heard Myrtle's words.

"I don't know her. But she's ugly, tall, strong, and very rude."

Well, even ghosts are tolerant of good-looking people.

Hermione thought speechlessly.

Before they left, Myrtle said that the female student mentioned that she failed to harm Olga last time, and this time she must make her pay the price.

On their way back to the Gryffindor common room, Ron couldn't help but ask.

"You know who that Slytherin student is, right?"

"Millicent Bulstrode."

Zero said this with great certainty, and it was obvious that he liked Nott, was ugly, and hated Olga, so there was no one else but her.
