Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

"Zoe is happy to help Wade Gray bring the bad elf Dobby. As long as Zoe finds it, Zoe will definitely catch it."

Zoe said softly, with enthusiasm on her face, as if she was happy to be needed.

"Thank you, Zoe." Wade smiled and said, "If he resists, please help me tell him that if he hopes to be free, then I can help."

Zoe looked at Wade carefully with her round eyes, and asked strangely: "Why would any house elf want to leave his master? He is really a bad elf."

"You can't say that."

Vader shook his head and said, "Hogwarts is a good place for elves. As long as you complete your work, you won't be criticized harshly."

"But Zoe, some private house elves live worse than slaves at home. They will be beaten, scolded and mistreated at will... It is natural to want to leave."

Zoe shook her big head and said: "Zoe can't understand, but Zoe will definitely help. Zoe will never refuse Vader Gray's request."

Vader smiled.

"Thanks, Zoe, it's been great meeting you."

…

When Wade woke up in the morning, as always, he first looked in the mirror at the mandrake blades in his mouth.

Complete as ever.

He poured a cup of tea to rinse his mouth, then took some chewing gum and stuffed it into his mouth.

After getting used to it, the leaves no longer affect Vader's speech and activities. As long as you use the sticking spell when you sleep at night, you don't have to worry about biting the leaves or swallowing them in your dreams.

For Wade, the biggest impact now is that he can't brush his teeth. Although he could use a cleaning spell or rinse his mouth with salt water or tea, he always felt uncomfortable without brushing his teeth.

He was even less willing to talk to others.

Among the classmates, only Michael knew that Vader was studying Animagus recently, and the others just felt that Vader had become silent recently.

However, he didn't talk much originally, and his classmates didn't notice much difference.

Hermione has spent more time reading recently, and during activities in the umbrella house, she also asked everyone to help her read some books that she couldn't finish yet.

"Hermione, how can I finish reading this?" Neville said desperately, holding the task assigned to him.

"There is no need to read them word for word." Hermione handed the last few books to Wade, turned to look at everyone and said, "We just need to look for the legend about the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets from these books."

"Secret room?" Everyone looked at each other.

"The house elf said that the Chamber of Secrets is about to be opened. I don't think this is just a random gossip. There must be some meaning in it!"

Hermione put her hands on her hips and said, "I remember seeing something related to the Chamber of Secrets before, but I can't remember clearly!"

"But..." Padma raised her hand as if talking to the teacher and asked, "Why should we investigate this kind of thing? Nothing dangerous happened in the school at all."

"If you want to talk about danger, there is indeed one thing..."

Fred's words attracted everyone's attention. He pretended to be serious and gloomy, and said viciously:

"I have a bottle of poison here. After class, I will ask one of you to drink it. I hope the antidote you brew is acceptable! Otherwise..."

He didn't finish his words, but gave a cold smile with a crooked mouth.

"Oh, Snape..."

Harry groaned, and Neville next to him showed the same pained expression.

"It's Professor Snape!"

Hermione corrected, then slammed the table hard:

"Listen to me, everyone! We can't wait until something happens to worry about it, right? Check the relevant information in advance. Even if something does happen, you won't be unprepared!"

"Then... what if nothing happens?" Harry raised his hand and asked.

"Then you gained valuable knowledge!" Hermione said seriously.

The group of people who didn't like reading sighed, but under Hermione's strong pressure, just like Professor McGonagall, everyone finally opened the book.

Fortunately, their work finally yielded some results. One day later, Ryan found clues related to the secret room in a yellowed notebook.

"...After a heated argument with Gryffindor, Slytherin eventually left the school."

"Before leaving, he built a secret room and left terrifying things in the secret room... Only when his true heir comes to the school can the secret room be opened..."

"Terror will purify the school and eliminate all those who are not worthy of learning magic..."

"What is the scary thing...?" Theo couldn't help but ask.

Ryan turned the note to the end and shook his head: "No one knows, but the author speculates that it is some kind of monster that only Slytherin can control."

"No, the heir of Slytherin can also control it." Michael pointed out the problem keenly, and then guessed: "Maybe it is some kind of magical contract inherited by blood?"

"It's a snake," Vader said.

"What?" Almost no one understood immediately.

"Slytherin is a Parselmouth." Wade looked at Harry's confused eyes and explained: "Salazar Slytherin can talk to snakes. This is his talent."

Harry froze.

Michael tapped his palm: "That's right! If Parseltongue is also passed down through the blood, the descendants of Slytherin will definitely be able to talk to snakes and even control their movements."

"So the monster in the Chamber of Secrets could be a snake?" Padma asked, "What kind of snake is so powerful?"

Veder did not give any further hints. Everyone agreed to look up information on various venomous snakes, including runes, bird snakes, basilisks, sea snakes, Belcher snakes, taipans, black mambas, etc.

"Harry, what's wrong with you?" Michael suddenly noticed that Harry's face was very wrong and asked.

"I..." Harry looked at everyone, not knowing whether he should tell the truth.

"You have a stomachache?" Neville guessed.

"Didn't finish your homework? Want to copy your homework?" Hermione also said, "Or don't have time to look up information?"

"Does your scar hurt again?" Theo asked.

Facing everyone's concerned eyes, Harry finally stammered: "I think... talking to snakes is rare? There should be many wizards who can do this, right?"

"No, most people can't do it." Theo shook his head and said: "Parseltongue is very, very rare, and the most famous representative is Salazar Slytherin."

"Why do you think he is common?" Michael couldn't help laughing: "It's not you who can speak snake language! Have you ever heard someone say..."

Michael's words stopped abruptly, he looked at Harry in surprise, his eyes slightly widened.

Harry didn't speak.

After a long while, Hermione asked softly in Harry's slightly pale face: "You are not a snake speaker, are you, Harry? You are not, right?"

Harry looked at her and nodded slowly.

"I am."

He said.
