Mentor and Friends

Until this moment, Tom didn't know why Nagini was discovered by Harry.

Parseltongue!

Harry is a Parseltongue!

In the empty basement, almost everyone turned their heads to look at Harry, with a look of horror that could not be ignored.

As far as they know, since the last heir of the Gaunt family died two years ago, only one person in the whole of England can speak Parseltongue.

But now...

Tom looked at Harry, and the man looked at the gradually docile snake in front of him with a serious expression. Others couldn't understand what Harry was saying, but it didn't mean Tom didn't know.

The cold and hoarse voice made Tom feel so familiar and warm. At the same time, it also made Tom's body gradually become colder.

Tom swallowed.

He didn't know what to say, there was another Parseltongue in this world... Isn't he the only descendant of Slytherin?

Almost all the principals who followed were looking at Harry. Compared to the dark wizard's basement and Burr's safety, Harry's identity attracted all their attention.

While they were still surprised, the wand in Harry's hand had already turned in one direction, and a powerful spell shot out from the wand and hit the wall.

The original solid wall collapsed, and a snake flashed past everyone.

"Quick imprisonment." Almost at the same time, the professors shot.

But what is surprising is that several spells hit the snake at the same time, and the snake just froze for a while, and then quickly fled away.

"That's..." Harry narrowed his eyes, the snake felt familiar to him, but he was sure it wasn't Nagini.

"Mr. Evans." Kevin called out, "You are actually a Parseltongue."

Harry was frowning tightly, maybe no one else saw it, but Tom was sure he saw a little impatience in Harry's expression.

Harry has always been a very good-tempered person, and Tom seldom sees such an expression on Harry, because of Parseltongue?

"If I could, I hope I won't." Harry replied flatly, but almost everyone could hear the disgust in his tone.

Tom was standing beside Harry, his whole body was almost stiff because of Harry's words.

The distaste in Harry's voice was very clear, it was a distaste for Parseltongue, and Harry said that if he could, he hoped he wouldn't.

"Now is not the time to ask me why I know Parseltongue," Harry shook his head, "Take Burr out first, let's go back to school, don't stay here and cause too much trouble for this gentleman."

Everyone understands, although they don't know why the other party brought Boer and now they agree to take them away, but the important thing is to take Boer away first.

"I seem to have seen people from the Black family." Just as Harry was about to leave, the dark wizard said softly, "Even if your physique is not exposed, another Parseltongue appeared in the wizarding world, the Dark wizard family I won’t be watching from the sidelines.”

Harry's footsteps paused: "Thank you."

Black also participated in the judging of this Triwizard Tournament. Harry was too obsessed with thinking about other things just now, and he didn't remember until the other party reminded him.

The Malfoy family seems to be a neutral family. Apart from their insistence on pure blood, they can be said to be skilled in other fields.

It is said that he is from the family of black wizards, but he has a very wide network on the side of white wizards. He is said to be from the family of white wizards, but his status can even be equal to that of the current Black family.

With the Malfoy family not expressing their views on black and white magic, in today's British wizarding world, many dark wizarding families are almost guided by the Black family.

The last head of the Gaunt family has died, but Tom Riddle, who has Slytherin blood, is not taken seriously because he is of mixed blood.

But Harry was different.

Harry's identity is unknown, but Parseltongue alone is enough to make the Black family think about it, and he broke into Knockturn Alley single-handedly, when those people came, the dark wizard had already broken free from the Imperius But what happens in the middle is all up to the other party to think about it.

And a scheming Black family, they always only think of things in the bad side, but not in the good side.

Apart from the Malfoy family, it is absolutely impossible for the Black family to allow anyone to threaten their family status.

Harry didn't notice this aspect, and because of Harry's kindness in helping him get rid of the Imperius Curse, the other party reminded him lightly.

"Heh, the Black family...that's a bunch of lunatics."

Harry fell silent, Tom was still waiting for him beside him, he shook his head at Tom to signal that he didn't have to worry, after which Tom took his hand and left with him.

Harry looked at the teenager beside him and sighed slightly.

There are a bunch of lunatics in the Black family, and no one knows it better than Harry.

Harry has lived in Grimmauld Place for so many years, and he is naturally aware of the things left by the Black family. Those black magic items, just looking at them, make people feel creepy.

Harry returned to Hogwarts with everyone.

Burr and his professor were sent to the medical wing, where a St. Mungo's physician was already waiting.

Burr was only slightly wounded, but he lost a lot of blood. It seemed that someone deliberately injured him and took his blood. Fortunately, Harry left early, and he only needed to drink a few more bottles of blood tonic. It won't affect his third game at all.

Everyone circled around Burr, and in the chaos, Harry grabbed Ron and quietly left the hospital wing.

"Harry?" Ron looked at Harry in surprise.

"Just now in Knockturn Alley, I exposed Parseltongue," Harry said as he walked, "That's not the point, the point is that the voice I heard just now feels very familiar."

"You're so familiar with it, right?" Ron looked at the road Harry was leading him, and suddenly, he seemed to understand what Harry was suspicious of.

"Do you remember what happened in second grade?"

second grade?

The second grade was the year when the "Chamber of Secrets opened", and that year was also the first time he knew that Harry could speak Parseltongue.

"you mean……"

"Although I can't tell the difference between Parseltongue and English, the voice that sounds exactly the same to you is different to me." It's like a human voice, with different pitches.

Only then did Harry finally remember where he had heard it.

The chamber of secrets incident in the second grade, the snake language he heard at Lockhart's side...

"Here..." In the abandoned girls' bathroom, Ron's eyes widened in surprise.

"That basilisk..." Harry exhaled, opened his mouth slowly, and [opened].

The long-forgotten passage opened slowly again, and Harry pulled Ron into it without hesitation.

The place is still dirty, unbearably dirty, and there are some animal bones on the ground. In fact, it's not that the basilisk has never been out over the years, but no one knows.

Harry lit the top of his wand.

"How?" Ron followed behind him, paying attention to the directions around him.

"No sound at all." Harry frowned, "Let's go inside and take a look."

The entire chamber seemed empty, and Harry felt that maybe the basilisk was lurking somewhere, and it was winter, maybe it should be resting after its activities, or maybe... the basilisk was no longer here.

【come out. ] Harry said, 【Come out for me. ] However, no voice responded to him.

"No reply." Harry gritted his teeth. "It's not here, or it's hiding from me on purpose." It seems that what he thought before was right. Although basilisks may hide from strangers, they are close to snakes. Parseltongue, Harry called it in Parseltongue, and he would answer anyway.

"Someone controlled him?" Ron reacted immediately.

"No," Harry looked around, "maybe it's all on him."

"Riddle?"

"Tom doesn't have that motive," Harry turned, "doesn't he."

Ron turned his head sideways, and Tom, who had followed them in at some point, came out of the corner and looked at Harry with a complicated expression.

They'd always known Tom was behind them, but Harry hadn't said anything because he thought of the possible consequences of the incident, and now they needed to show each other their cards.

"Let's go to your bedroom." With one last look at the empty basement, Harry pulled Tom up.

Tom just let Harry pull him numbly.

Aside from knowing that Harry was Parseltongue, it's possible that Harry knew that he'd made a Horcrux that made him stiffen involuntarily.

He didn't think that Harry would let him know anything. If Harry could let him hear their secrets with such fear and let him follow behind them, then there is only one possibility, and that is that he is very likely to be responsible for this matter. cause.

Those who can speak snake language, those who can use that snake, those who know the secret of this secret room...

Except Harry and him, then there's only...

The three of them came to Tom's bedroom, and Harry beckoned directly, and the box that Tom had hidden very well appeared in Harry's hand instantly.

Tom looked at the box and almost trembled all over.

Harry got it... Harry really got it!

Harry, who didn't see Tom trembling—or deliberately ignored—just tapped on it with his wand, then shook his head: "It's not in there anymore."

Know the entrance to the secret room, know that there are basilisks inside, and know the language of snakes.

Except for Harry and Tom... just this split soul in the diary.
