Harry's knot was untied, but Severus began to worry about how to tell him about the basilisk. After all, the child hadn't told anyone that he could speak Parseltongue. If he asked him rashly now, he might How can the little thing think about it again.

But after his fixed time of studying potions every day, he finally thought of a way.Because the potion shop in Knockturn Alley sent him a big order a while ago, in order to brew one of the poisons, he caught a poisonous snake from the Forbidden Forest and was raising it in a cage to get the poison. So he deliberately called the little thing in to help him when he was taking the venom.

Sure enough, after he took out the corresponding equipment, the little thing had already "hissed" chatted with the snake in the cage.

Although it is the same snake language, but due to psychological factors, he just thinks his little thing speaks much better than Voldemort. The "hissing" sound that once chilled him to the bone came out of Harry's mouth. How cute, coupled with Xiaodong's rich expression, actually made him feel happy when he heard the snake language for the first time.

"Harry, do you speak Parseltongue?" he asked casually.

The little thing turned his head and asked suspiciously: "What is the snake language? I speak English."

"No, what you just said was the language of snakes." Severus pointed to the shaking snake in the cage, "If you don't believe me, you can ask it."

Harry communed with the snake for a while, then quickly turned pale.

"What's wrong?" Severus asked worriedly.

The little thing looked at him in horror, "Professor, she said that only the descendants of Slytherin can speak Parseltongue! That person, that person is the one! What's going on here? How can I be like him?"

He fell into rich imagination again, his little face was full of confusion, "Could it be that I am related to that person?! I don't want it! That big villain is not qualified to be my relative! He killed Mom and Dad!"

Should have felt distressed or angry, but Severus was angry and funny, "What are you thinking, he has no blood relationship with your family!"

Harry burst into tears, "But how can I speak Parseltongue..."

Severus rubbed his head reassuringly, and sighed, "This question is very complicated, and it will be difficult to find the answer for a while, but you have to believe me, apart from the relationship between you and that person, there is nothing else It doesn't matter."

"Oh..." Harry agreed dejectedly.

"Okay, cheer up, your Parseltongue is still useful, the headmaster has a problem that has troubled him for a long time, and now you can solve it." Severus comforted him.

Sure enough, the little thing was quickly diverted attention, "What's the problem?"

"There is a Slytherin room in the school. There is a basilisk in it. The headmaster is very worried that it will come out to hurt people, but the room can only be opened by a snake whisperer, so he has been unable to go in and destroy the basilisk. But now You can help him," Severus said curtly.

Harry was smiling again, it felt so good to be needed!The little thing was so happy that he grabbed Severus' hand for a moment, looked up at him and said, "Then let's tell Mr. Principal, he will be very happy!"

Severus was elated by his "we", and patted his head with a smile, "What's the rush, it's so late now, I'll tell him tomorrow, and now tell your snake friend for me, I want to take its venom and let it cooperate."

Harry felt that his Parseltongue was very useful, and could even help the professor!So I didn't hate the snake language so much, let go of Severus's hand, and "hissed" to the snake with a smile, sometimes with a begging expression, and finally said excitedly One sentence: "Hiss, hiss~"

Severus looked at the expressive little face, his heart softened, and he asked him with a smile, "What did you say?"

The little thing said happily: "I told her that you are a good person and you will never hurt her, and then Nini—this is her name—she said that as long as you take the venom, you will let her go home, She must cooperate well!"

He even knew the snake's name so quickly!Severus complied amusedly, then quickly finished taking the venom and asked Harry to tell his snake friend that it could return to the Forbidden Forest tomorrow.

After the little thing told Severus, he looked at Severus and asked hesitantly: "Professor, can you give me a mouse? Nini said she really wants to eat..."

Severus was slightly jealous, this little thing!What to do to a snake so nice? !Also use "she" to call it!However, he still lifted the cage, transferred the snake into the cage where the little white mouse was held, and then drove the little thing out, "Okay, go and do your homework, it will be handed over to me next Monday."

Harry glanced reluctantly at his new friend who had already started eating, sighed old-fashionedly, and went out to do his homework.

After sending the "enthusiastic girl" in Harry's mouth - the snake - back to the Forbidden Forest the next day, Severus prepared some necessary potions and brought Harry several more Alchemy items for defense, and gave him a door key to the cellar where it landed. After exhorting and admonishing him, he took him and Dumbledore, who was carrying a cage of roosters and a phoenix, in front of the abandoned women's toilet on the second floor. Rendezvous, it's already curfew time.

"Oh, little Harry, you are really my lucky star." Dumbledore, who had already "co-confessed" with Severus, praised the little thing with a smile, "This problem has troubled me for a long time, but fortunately you are here !"

Harry yawned and waved his hands shyly, "It's nothing, I'm glad I can help you."

Severus frowned and urged Dumbledore, "Stop talking nonsense, go in quickly." The little thing seemed to be very sleepy, and it would be better to finish it early and let him go back to sleep.

According to Dumbledore's instructions, Harry "hissed" a few times at the snake-shaped faucet, and finally opened the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets.

"Then I'll go in first." Dumbledore jumped into the huge pipe entrance with the cage in hand, and Fawkes flew in afterward.

Severus cast an Armor Charm on Harry and jumped in with him in his arms.

The pipe was filthy, dark, and seemingly endless, and many other pipes could be seen stretching sideways, but none were as large, twisting, spinning, and sliding down as steeply as this one.

Feeling the little thing in his arms tightening his lapel, Severus comforted him in a low voice: "Don't worry, it'll be there soon."

"But it's so dark..." the little thing muttered.

"It's okay, just hold on to me."

The little head in his arms moved, and the little body got closer to him.

After a while, the pipe came out horizontally, and the two fell through the hole. Severus staggered a little while holding Harry, and managed to stabilize himself by the light from the tip of Dumbledore's wand.

Casting a Cleansing Charm on both himself and Harry, Severus also lit his wand and started exploring with Harry following Dumbledore.

They started to set off, walking in the wetlands, the sound of their footsteps was extremely loud.There was so much space here that they could only see a short distance ahead.In the glow of the wand, their shadows were reflected on the wall, looking extremely terrifying.

The little thing that was afraid of the dark grabbed Severus by the corner of his clothes tightly and followed him step by step.

Severus took his hand and slowed thoughtfully.

They came to a corner, and Severus finally saw the shed skin of the basilisk he had been thinking about for a long time.After quickly putting away the snakeskin, he led Harry again and continued to walk forward.

They went on, turned another bend, and a solid wall loomed before them.Carved on the wall are two intertwined snakes, their eyes set with huge shining emeralds.

Dumbledore asked Harry to open a door in Parseltongue, and they entered a stone chamber.

Although they had already been mentally prepared, Severus and Dumbledore still twitched their lips when they saw the monkey-like Slytherin statue.

Dumbledore sighed, and said to Harry, "Little Harry, speak Parseltongue to the statue again, just say 'Speak to me, Slytherin! The greatest of the Hogwarts Four The one', well, Matilda said so."

Although he was a bit puzzled by the name "Matilda", Harry obediently said that to the statue.

The huge stone face moved.Harry stared wide-eyed to see its mouth open, widen and widen until it formed a gigantic black hole.Something was moving in the mouth of the statue, gliding upwards from the depths of the statue.He couldn't help but move closer to Severus.

Severus shielded him behind him, aiming his wand at the hole.

A loud "hissing" sound came from the stone sculpture's mouth.

"Huh?" Harry exclaimed in surprise, and then hissed loudly at the hole.

Severus and Dumbledore looked at each other.

Dumbledore looked at the chicken coop in his hand - because it was night, the roosters had already fallen asleep - put his wand into the chicken coop and poked them to wake them up, and then the roosters started beating one by one. Shout out.

The hissing sound from the stone carving's mouth suddenly became louder.

Harry listened intently, looking at Dumbledore hesitantly.

"Little Harry, what's the matter?" he asked curiously.

The little thing couldn't bear it, "He's crying... He's crying so pitifully..."

The two adults looked embarrassed.
