[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Harry walked down the corridor of Hogwarts castle alone in a depressed mood, his steps were fast. After he felt the eyes of the people around him looking at him, he just wanted to stay away from the crowd as soon as possible, further away, even almost He knocked down Professor Bubbaji without stopping to apologize.

He had no doubt that word that he was a Parseltongue would spread throughout Hogwarts overnight.At that time, most people will again pick up the conjecture that they had almost forgotten a few days ago: Harry Potter is the descendant of Slytherin.This must have happened when the so-called descendants of Slytherin were active in the school, and he exposed his identity as Parseltongue in public.But what could he do then?He clearly heard the snake angrily announcing that it was going to bite Justin to death, how could he just watch and not stop it from doing so?Harry thought aggrievedly.

"Harry! Harry!" Hermione, Ron and Neville panted after Harry from behind. "Just now……"

"Hey buddy, you never said you were..."

"Yeah," Harry's grievance broke out suddenly, and his tone seemed more irritable than ever. "I've never told you I'm a Parseltongue, ever since I was in Gryffindor, I never wanted to be known. I know it's Salazar Slytherin's thing, but I It's a Gryffindor now, isn't it?"

Aunt Jody, the only person who had known so far that Harry could talk to snakes, was as unimpressive as Harry.But since Harry entered school, he has been cautious to avoid telling anyone about his little talent. He has attracted enough attention.

Harry knew that deep down in his heart, he really yearned for Slytherin, and even felt that he might become one of them.This may be because, when he first came into contact with the magic world, he yearned so much for Professor Snape and Aunt Jody, yearning for their calmness and strength; or it may be because of the little skill he showed in front of everyone today—— Harry learned early on in the book that Salazar Slytherin himself was a Parseltongue, so the symbol of Slytherin House was the snake.He might have felt a little bit disappointed that he didn't get into Slytherin...

But in the end the Sorting Hat put him in Gryffindor.Gryffindor was good, too, and he always thought so.He likes the warm and warm golden red of Gryffindor, and he likes his good friends and classmates from the same college far more than Malfoy's group of Slytherins who only know how to flaunt their blood.And after hearing the legend of the Chamber of Secrets, Harry was sure that even if he was the heir of Slytherin, he would never be so foolish as to want to wipe out all Muggle-born students.

But just after he had fully adapted to his identity as Gryffindor, everyone regarded him as the heir of Slytherin again!Harry was furious about it.

"...Oh, yes, that's right, Harry." Neville, who was not good at sports, finally caught his breath, and still maintained his usual slow tone, and said gently, "We just want to tell you, Even if you were a Parseltongue, we don't think you'd be the Heir of Slytherin who opened the Chamber of Secrets."

It has to be said that Neville has completely touched on the most critical point this time.Harry himself didn't realize that his tensed shoulders had visibly relaxed after hearing Neville's words.

"Exactly." Ron and Hermione looked at Harry seriously and said in unison.

"...I'm sorry." The sincere words of friends made Harry's uncontrollable anger quickly subside.He blushes at his poor attitude just now, he shouldn't take it on his friend who cares about him. "I really shouldn't be yelling at you guys. I just, just..."

"Oh, it's okay, Harry, I know you're in a bad mood." Ron patted Harry on the shoulder indifferently, "You know, sometimes I think you're too calm, which makes people feel a little distant It's just right now. By the way, what did you say to that snake? You know it sounds scary."

Hermione quickly winked at Ron. The considerate girl didn't want to remind her good friend of the unhappiness in the auditorium just now, but Ron's thoughts were not so delicate.

"I told the snake to let Justin go because it was angry and wanted to bite." But Harry didn't feel bad about Ron's problem, because at least Ron could take it as a very serious matter. Treat it as an ordinary matter, even though he still seemed aggrieved when he talked about it. "Didn't they notice that the snake let go of Justin after hearing my words?"

"I'd say, after hearing you speak that language, I'm afraid most people won't pay attention to that snake any more."

The Gryffindors walked towards the Gryffindor Tower while talking, not knowing that someone was silently watching them not far behind them.It wasn't until the children disappeared that Jody, who was watching them, turned and walked towards Snape's office in the cellar.

"Joe..." As soon as Jody walked into Snape's office, he was hugged tightly by the other party.Snape felt guilty for having this happen before his own eyes. "I'm sorry...I should have stopped this."

As at the Quidditch pitch, Snape knew that Jody must be in the Great Hall tonight.

"No, it's not your fault. It's because I thought it was too simple. I didn't warn Harry not to talk to snakes in front of others. I just... just don't want him to think that this ability is special." Jody said the same He stretched out his arms to embrace Snape, and patted Snape's back comfortingly.None of them thought that Harry's Parseltongue would be exposed to the public in the worst possible way.Before finding out who opened the secret chamber, Harry has undoubtedly become the most suspicious person right now.

Thinking of what happened tonight, Snape couldn't help but snorted softly: "Believe me, even if you warned him, he would still do this today." He paused, trying to speak in a non-critical tone : "Harry is...kind, a lot like Lily."

In fact Snape didn't approve of Harry being so easily relented.Whether it was saving Draco regardless of his own safety during the Quidditch match, showing mercy to Draco during the duel, or forgetting the current situation and using Parseltongue when the snake attacked Finlay, it all reflects Except that Harry Potter lacks a certain self-interested ruthlessness.Snape didn't think that such a Harry Potter would be suitable to compete with the cold-blooded and cruel Voldemort in the future.

"Harry is a kind boy. I was worried that he would not be able to stand other people's eyes, but fortunately he has made good friends." Jody's smile was a bit bitter.At first she intended to comfort Harry, but it was obvious that Professor Bubbaji was not someone Harry could confide in at this time.She followed Harry quietly, and was not relieved until Ron and the others caught up with Harry.At least none of this child hides and digs into a dead end. "Hopefully nothing dangerous will happen to Harry until we find out."

"As long as the house-elf doesn't intend to continue to protect Harry, I think Harry is still safe." Not long ago, Regulus sent a letter explaining all the things Dobby did, and Snape had done everything for him. I plan to find time to visit Malfoy during the Christmas holidays. "unless……"

—Unless Harry Potter himself made trouble for himself.

Before Snape could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. He opened the door impatiently after seeing Jody put on the cloak.

The boy with his head floating in the air met Snape's black eyes with his green eyes. "Professor Snape..."

"Harry Potter...impressive way..." Snape called out the boy's name in a Parseltongue-like voice through his teeth, letting the boy in with a frown In my own office, I am glad that I have an extremely strong heart and am not intimidated by this boy's appearance. "Come in, you'd better have a reasonable reason why you came to my office at such a late hour."

"I'm sorry, Professor." Harry walked into Snape's office, took off the Invisibility Cloak, and sat down on a chair with it in his arms. "I'm here because... I, I need your help."

Jody, who was standing next to the chair, secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, she stood up just now, otherwise Harry would have discovered it.

"If you want to ask about the last time you were hurt... I didn't tell your aunt." Snape pursed his lips, pretending not to guess what Harry was trying to say, while looking at the room inadvertently Turned around.Harry had asked Snape not to tell Aunt Jody about the Quidditch match, Snape did not tell Jody, but in fact Jody witnessed it all.

"No, not that." Harry's lips twitched. "It's me...I can't sleep."

Harry didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that he was afraid of tomorrow. Although his friends believed him, as long as he thought that from tomorrow onwards, others would regard him as the murderer of the petrification incident, his stomach felt as if he was pretending a piece of lead.And this fear made him even more upset-does he really have the courage that Gryffindor requires?What if he wasn't really a Gryffindor, what if he actually opened the Chamber of Secrets without his knowing?

The more Harry thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep. He didn't want to show such cowardice in front of his friends.And in addition to the trust of friends, he also hopes to gain the trust of an elder.Although Harry knew very well that Professor Snape would not be able to comfort him gently, he subconsciously ran to the cellar.

"Can't sleep? Do you want your potions master to provide you with a dose of death water to help you fall asleep?" Snape said, suddenly felt Jody's fingers lightly brushing the back of his hand, so he had to let go Slowed down. "...Is it for tonight's duel club?"

Harry nodded dejectedly. "Professor Snape, do you think I'm that Slytherin heir?"

"Mr. Potter, let me first remind you that you're not even a Slytherin." Snape frowned, "although I'm also surprised that a Gryffindor is a Parseltongue."

All these years of getting along has made Harry completely able to find the answer he wanted from Snape's roundabout answer, but his expression is still very bitter: "But most people don't think so, they will definitely think it is I opened the Chamber of Secrets."

"Harry," Snape said, taking a deep breath, as calmly as possible, "do you remember what I said to you last year? In this room? I hope you remember my words, anyone The attitude towards you has nothing to do with you personally. If you are downcast for such a ridiculous reason, then I will... very disappointed."

Harry's body trembled while sitting in the chair, obviously remembering what Professor Snape said in the first year.It has to be said that now he has a deeper understanding of the meaning of this sentence than then.

"Also, I don't think you just found out that you are a Parseltongue today?" Professor Snape said reproachfully.

"Yes." Harry admitted.

"Then, you should also think about it, if you talk to a snake in front of everyone, what will others think of you?"

"I know, but the situation at the time..."

Snape interrupted Harry, "The professor should be responsible for the situation at that time. You should believe that I am different from some 'professors'. I can handle this matter and protect my students from harm, not Let you—Harry Potter stand up and play the role of the savior. If you must be a hero, you should think about what kind of situation you may encounter after that." As he said, the corners of Snape's mouth curled up A slightly sarcastic arc. "Remember, Harry, the Savior doesn't always get the thanks he deserves, because people are always blind to the facts and love to be ungrateful."

Snape's words left Harry speechless.Jody pinched Snape out of Harry's sight, and although she agreed with what he said, it seemed too extreme for Harry's age.Snape covered what Jody was doing well with his mocking "smile".

"I understand. I will definitely be more cautious in the future." Harry lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said firmly, his green eyes shining brightly. "But I don't regret that I stopped the snake. I... I couldn't stand by. Maybe I should talk to Justin about what happened tonight. I really just wanted to save him."

"...You'd better not expect him to accept what you said, you will find that many times, people are stupid beyond your imagination." Snape snorted and said in his usual mocking tone. "They often make certain judgments without using their brains, and think they are very... wise."

Thinking about what he had done tonight, Harry wasn't sure if he was one of those "no brains" that Professor Snape called.But he had to admit that after talking with Professor Snape, he really felt much better.

"Thank you, Professor Snape."

"You should go back to sleep... If you meet Filch on the way back, tell him that you are in confinement with me." Snape regretted it after saying this, he actually made such a stupid mistake!He clearly knew that Harry had an invisibility cloak, so he didn't have to worry about meeting Filch at all.

Harry rolled his eyes and smiled.As long as his brain is still working normally, he can hear the concern in this sentence.Harry really wanted to let Malfoy hear Professor Snape's words with his own ears, and smash his self-important little face.The little Gryffindor, who was in a better mood, instantly gained courage, boldly rushed to the head of Slytherin, and gave him a passionate hug. "Good night...uncle."

Leaving this sentence, Harry didn't even dare to see Snape's reaction, so he put on the Invisibility Cloak and slipped back to Gryffindor Tower.This time, he slept soundly.

Early the next morning, Harry made up his mind to find Justin Fenrieri and explain.Whether the other party believed it or not, he had to at least tell him what he said to the snake last night.He couldn't find Justin in the library, but he frankly refuted those Hufflepuffs in the library who speculated that Harry Potter was the heir of Slytherin and a dark wizard, and smiled to comfort him. Hagrid, who wanted to get permission to use magic on the chicken coop, didn't have to worry about his affairs, and then walked up the stairs with ease and turned into another corridor.Harry was very satisfied with his performance today. He found that his mood was surprisingly calm, and he didn't care about the pointing and pointing of the people around him.

However, this peaceful mood was completely shattered into powder when he stepped into this corridor and almost tripped over.Justin Fenrieri was petrified, with a horrified expression on his face, and what was even more frightening was that in front of him, Nearly Headless Nick had also turned into a half-frozen black smoke.

Peeves, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, was the first to discover this scene. He yelled and yelled, almost attracting half of the students in the school who were in class.Everyone looked at all this with terrified eyes, Harry stood there numbly, feeling his mind went blank.

In a rowdy chaos, Harry was led into Dumbledore's office by Professor McGonagall.His heart was so tense that it jumped out of his throat. Of course he didn't open the Chamber of Secrets, didn't petrify Justin and Nick, but would Professor Dumbledore believe him?Now almost the whole school thinks he is the murderer.

Professor Dumbledore's office was more interesting and beautiful than any other professor's office Harry had been to, but Harry was in no mood to admire it now.Not even the listless, dying bird perched on the perch behind the door failed to interest Harry.

However, when he saw the Sorting Hat in Professor Dumbledore's office, he couldn't help but pick it up and put it on his head.

"Oh, Harry Potter, is there something you can't figure out?" The sorting hat's voice was sleepy.

"Yes, I mean, did you really put me in the right place? Should I really not be in Slytherin?" Harry asked silently.

"Of course I'm not mistaken, although you can also go to glory in Slytherin," hearing the tone, if the Sorting Hat had eyes, Harry felt that it must have rolled its eyes by now. "But you are undoubtedly a better fit for Gryffindor, how could I be wrong?"

"What if... I mean, what if I have Slytherin blood in me?" Harry hesitated, but couldn't help asking. "If I'm a descendant of Salazar Slytherin, shouldn't I go to Slytherin House?"

"Impossible, you are not a descendant of Salazar." The Sorting Hat firmly denied Harry's hypothesis. "If I put a guy with Slytherin blood in another house, I must be crazy, and Slytherin will crawl out of the ground to find me."

Harry didn't have the time to think about how a hat could go crazy, or that the Sorting Hat was inherently crazy.All his attention was attracted by the flames that suddenly ignited behind him. The flames rose from the body of the listless bird just now. It screamed and turned into a big fireball in the blink of an eye.

Just then, Dumbledore walked into the office.
