Chapter 44 Influence
The attack on Colin Clivie spread throughout Hogwarts the next day of the weekend.
This time it was different from the last time. After all, it was just a cat, but this time it was a student. If I hadn't heard that I could have been rescued, it would have caused a lot of panic.
On the other hand, the regular inspections of professors and senior leaders have also indirectly aggravated everyone's anxiety, although this is a necessary behavior.
After the magic literature teaching is over at night.
Felix and Hermione briefly said some information that can be revealed, "The professor at Hogwarts will ensure the safety of the young wizards, and you can promote more with them."
Hermione happily agreed.
"But, professor, why are you guessing that the monster in the secret room is a snake?" Hermione asked cautiously.
Of course Felix couldn't tell the truth, he could only tell the short stories that Slytherin and the snake had to tell.
"Slytherin manipulates the snake to serve him?"
"Of course, he is the most famous snake accent known, after all." Felix replied.
From the words left by Ravenclaw, it can be seen that Slytherin had all kinds of snakes accompanying him all year round, driven by him, which made his reputation very "reputable".
Hermione screamed, "Professor! Do you mean... can the snake man control the snake?" Her heart thumped.
"I'm just guessing that after all, the number of snake accents is too rare and there are not many sample studies. But since this ability can be inherited, it means that it is not a simple alien language, but contains magic..."
...
In a corner of the common room, a fierce conflict broke out between the trio.
"Harry, I think you should tell Dumbledore or Professor Hepp that you are a serpent."
"Don't say it." Ron retorted without hesitation.
"Ron! You don't know the seriousness of the problem yet." Hermione stared at him in annoyance.
Ron lowered his head and whispered: "Harry, I mean, don't disclose this secret. If you expose the snake-like accent in public, you will be finished and will definitely be regarded as Slytherin's heir."
"We can just tell Principal Dumbledore and ask him to keep it confidential." Hermione argued.
Harry rubbed his forehead, "But this doesn't make much sense, right? You know I'm not the one who opens the secret room, which means there is a snake-like accent hidden in the school."
"If I'm exposed, he'll hide deeper."
Harry didn't want to reveal his secrets. In addition to being a bad reputation for the Snake Man's accent, he also had some hidden resistance. When he was in his first grade, the Sorting Hat strongly invited him to Slytherin College.
Does this indicate something?
And the branch hat sees his essence clearly?
Harry said to Hermione: "What's more, we can't determine whether the monster is a snake, right? Maybe what I heard that day was just the whisper of a passing snake, and Professor Hayp admitted this. You've searched the library for so many days, but haven't you found the corresponding snake?"
Hermione had nothing to say. The closest thing she found was a creature called a basilisk. Its eyes were deadly, but it could not petrify people.
Ron finally said to Ximu: "We should make a compound decoction as soon as possible and ask Malfoy for clarity."
"There is also that elf named Dobby, which is also very strange."
...
In the new week, in addition to appease the little wizard's emotions in class, Felix also specifically reminded: "Don't believe in any magical creature that can speak unless you can see where its brain is hidden."
"Professor, are you talking about the scoring hat?" Fred asked one of the twins.
"No, it's been tested by thousands of years, and we can trust it enough," Felix said seriously, "but some other things, like you're from the library mezzanine, from the abandoned and old broomsticks, like these things you've got by chance, if you find that you can talk to them, then be careful."
"They may be extremely dangerous black magical creatures."
"I can give hundreds of similar examples..."
In the next half of the class, Felix used real cases in various countries to constantly intimidate these unreliable little wizards. Judging from their expressions, his goal was achieved.
In the evening, when the twins told everyone the stories they heard, everyone was fascinated by them.
"I never thought Professor Hepp was so knowledgeable." Fred and George came to a corner of the lounge and said to Ron.
He squeezed his eyes and signaled to Ginny who was depressed on the side: "Ginny, I still have many stories to tell. If you want to hear them, I..."
"No need!" Ginny said dryly.
The twins looked at each other and began to perform in exaggeration. They imitated a bad guy who picked up a black magic book, and their eyes grew on the book ever since.
Ginny trembled all over when she heard it.
"Okay, don't scare Ginny." Hermione took the little girl's hand and said comfortingly, "The professor will protect us as long as we are not curious..."
Ginny nodded.
At noon the next day, Ginny took a sneak glance, left the army, and came to a secluded place. She took out a black notebook from her schoolbag and threw it out with force.
After the afternoon potion class, the trio quietly came to the abandoned bathroom to make a compound decoction.
"All is going well right now," Hermione said happily, looking at the color of the potion.
"Wait." Harry looked at a corner of the bathroom, where something seemed to be there, but it was too dark for him to see clearly.
Just as I was about to get closer, suddenly the sound of footsteps came from outside the door.
The three looked at each other in horror—"Who is there?" Harry shouted.
The footsteps ran away quickly.
Harry gritted his teeth, opened the door and chased him out. After a while, he came back.
"It's Malfoy!" he said gritting his teeth, "He must have come with us."
"Then did he find out..."
"Don't know."
“But it’s no longer safe.”
Harry, Ron and Hermione agreed to change the place, and this time, they chose an abandoned classroom underground.
“It’s very remote here.”
The three were very satisfied with the new location.
In the evening, a little wizard sneaked to the place where Harry and the others had made potions, hesitated slightly, and walked into the girl's bathroom.
