A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 44: Influence

On the second day of the weekend, news of Colin Creevey's attack spread throughout Hogwarts.

This time is different from last time, it was just a cat after all, but this time it is a student. If it weren't for the news that they could be rescued, it would have caused widespread panic.

On the other hand, regular inspections by professors and prefects also aggravate everyone's anxiety, although this is a necessary behavior.

After the rune teaching in the evening.

Felix and Hermione briefly shared some information that could be revealed, "The professors at Hogwarts will ensure the safety of the little wizards, and you can promote them more."

Hermione happily agreed.

"But, professor, why do you guess that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a snake?" Hermione asked cautiously.

Of course Felix couldn't tell the truth, he could only tell little stories that Slytherin and the snake had to tell.

"Slytherin manipulated the snake to serve him?"

"Of course, after all he's the most famous Parseltongue known," Felix replied.

From the few words left by Ravenclaw, it can be seen that Slytherin has been accompanied by various snakes all year round and driven by him, which made his reputation very "loud" at that time.

Hermione screamed, "Professor! You mean... Parseltongue can control snakes?" Her heart pounded.

"I'm just guessing. After all, the number of Parseltongues is too rare, and there are not many sample studies. But since this ability can be inherited, it shows that it is not a simple foreign language, but contains magic power... ..."

……

In the corner of the common room, a violent conflict broke out among the trio.

"Harry, I think you should tell Dumbledore, or Professor Haip, that you are a Parseltongue."

"Don't say it." Ron retorted without thinking.

"Ron! You don't know the seriousness of the problem yet." Hermione glared at him angrily.

Ron lowered his head and whispered: "Harry, what I mean is, don't disclose this secret. If you expose your Parseltongue in public, you will be finished. You will definitely be regarded as the heir of Slytherin."

"We can just tell Principal Dumbledore and ask him to keep it secret." Hermione argued.

Harry rubbed his forehead, "But it doesn't make much sense, right? You know I'm not the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets, which means that there is still a Parselmouth hidden in the school."

"If I expose, then he will hide deeper."

Harry didn't want to reveal his secret, not only because of the bad reputation of Parseltongue, but also because of some hidden resistance. When he was sorted in his first year, the Sorting Hat strongly invited him to enter Slytherin House.

Does this herald something?

And the Sorting Hat has seen his essence clearly?

Harry said to Hermione: "What's more, we can't be sure whether the monster is a snake, right? Maybe what I heard that day was just the raving of a passing snake, and Professor Happe admits that. You After searching in the library for so many days, didn’t you find the corresponding snake?”

Hermione had nothing to say. Among the information she found, the closest thing was a creature called Basilisk. Its gaze was lethal, but it could not petrify people.

Ron finally said to Mui: "We'd better make the compound potion as soon as possible, and ask Malfoy for clarification."

"And that elf named Dobby is also weird."

……

In the new week, in addition to calming the little wizard's emotions in class, Felix also reminded: "Don't trust any magical creation that can talk, unless you can see where its brain is hidden."

"Professor, are you talking about the sorting hat?" Fred, one of the twins, asked.

"No, it has been tested for thousands of years, we can trust it enough," Felix said seriously, "but some other things, such as you from the library mezzanine, from the abandoned old broom room, If you find that you can talk to things like these by chance, you must be careful.”

"They may be extremely dangerous creations of dark magic."

"I can give hundreds of similar examples..."

For the next half of the class, Felix used real cases from various countries to constantly intimidate these unreliable little wizards. Judging from their expressions, he achieved his goal.

In the evening, when the twins told the story to everyone, everyone was fascinated by it.

"I never thought that Professor Haip was so knowledgeable." Fred and George came to a corner of the lounge and said to Ron.

He squeezed his eyes and gestured to Ginny who was depressed: "Ginny, I still have a lot of 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 exaggeratedly~IndoMTL.com~ They imitated an unlucky guy who picked up a black magic book, and their eyes grew on the book ever since.

Ginny shuddered.

"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 too curious..."

Ginny nodded.

At noon the next day, Ginny took a sneak peek, left the large group, and came to a secluded place. She took out a black book from her schoolbag and threw it out vigorously.

After the Potions class in the afternoon, the trio quietly went to the abandoned bathroom to brew Polyjuice Potion.

"So far everything is going well." Hermione looked at the color of the potion and announced happily.

"Wait." Harry looked towards a corner of the bathroom. There seemed to be something there, but it was too dark for him to see clearly.

Just about to get closer, suddenly footsteps came from outside the door.

The three looked at each other in horror—"Who's there?" Harry called.

The footsteps quickly ran away.

Gritting his teeth, Harry opened the door and chased him out. After a while, he came back.

"It's Malfoy!" He said through gritted teeth, "He must have come with us."

"Then did he find out..."

"Don't know."

"But it's not safe here anymore."

Harry, Ron and Hermione agreed to change places, this time, they chose an abandoned classroom underground.

"It's very remote here."

The three are very satisfied with the new location.

In the evening, a little wizard sneaked into the place where Harry and the others had brewed the potion before, hesitated a little, and walked into the girls' bathroom.

After a while, he came out and left quickly, with something in his robe.
