Promotion and salary increase start at Hogwarts

"Wow, it feels different watching it live."

Professor Luo Cheng was very happy that he had achieved his goal. Didn't Dumbledore want to find a Parselmouth? Then put Harry Potter in his sights first - although it didn't take much effort for Dumbledore to guess the truth.

.

But what does this have to do with Professor Luo Cheng? He is just a good subordinate who strictly follows the orders of his superiors.

As for the real culprit, it is natural to point it out when the boss hits a wall and give him a double surprise. This will make him promoted faster, right?

At this moment, Harry didn't know why he wasn't scared at all. He knew that the snake would not hurt him or attack anyone else. How he knew this, he couldn't tell.

Harry smiled kindly at Justin Finch-Fletchley. He thought Justin would thank him profusely, but what he saw was an angry and frightened face.

"What kind of trick do you think you're playing?"

he shouted, and before Harry could speak, Justin turned around and rushed out of the auditorium.

"Is this the purpose of instigating Lockhart to set up a dueling club?"

Snape walked to Luo Cheng and said softly.

"No, Severus." Luo Cheng said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "This is the principal's intention. He wants to find the real murderer."

"Is the real murderer, Harry Potter?"

Snape snorted and walked forward, waved his wand, and the snake turned into a plume of black smoke and disappeared.

Harry was a little at a loss. He realized that the people around him were whispering ominously, and Snape was looking at him with a strange look. His mind was confused, and at this moment, he felt someone tugging on his arm.

Clothes back.

"Let's go," Ron said in his ear, let's go - let's go!"

Ron led him out of the Great Hall. When they went out, people stepped back to both sides, as if they were afraid of getting into trouble. Harry didn't understand what was going on at all, and Ron didn't give any explanation, just dragging him along.

He walked until he came to the empty Gryffindor common room. Then, Ron pushed Harry into an armchair and said: "You are a Parseltongue. Why didn't you tell us?"

"What am I?" Harry asked.

"Parseltongue!" said Ron, "you can talk to snakes!"

"I don't know! And I don't think this is anything great. I dare say there are many wizards here who can do it."

"Oh, they can't do that," said Ron. "It's not a common skill. Harry, it's terrible."

"What's so bad?" Harry asked, starting to feel anger building up inside him. "What's wrong with everyone? Look, if I hadn't told that snake not to attack Justin—"

"Oh, is this what you said to him?"

"What do you mean? You were there at the time. You heard me."

"I heard you speaking in Parseltongue," said Ron, "the language of snakes. Anything you say is possible. No wonder Justin was so frightened. It sounded like you were egging on the snake.

's. That's creepy, you know."

Harry stared at him dumbfounded.

"I spoke another language? But - I didn't realize it - how could I speak another language and not know it?"

Ron shook his head, "That's true, everyone has heard it."

"But why are they looking at me so strangely? Even if I speak the language of snakes and prevent an ugly snake from biting off Jia Xinting's head, what's wrong with that?"

"Because being able to talk to snakes is Salazar Slytherin's famous ability. Therefore, the symbol of the Slytherin school is a snake."

Harry's mouth opened wide.

Ron said, "Now, the whole school is going to think you're his great-great-great-grandson or something..."

"But I'm not."

Harry said, feeling a panic that he couldn't explain.

"You will find it difficult to prove this," Hermione said. "He lived about a thousand years ago. From all we know, you are probably his descendant."

"So, everyone now suspects that I opened the secret room???"

————————————

"With all due respect, Harry Potter has no ability to open the Chamber of Secrets."

Snape said sarcastically, "How can a Gryffindor be the descendant of Slytherin?"

"Severus, thank you for your advice, but anything is possible in this world."

Dumbledore sat on his seat and looked at Luo Cheng with his blue eyes.

"Professor Luo Cheng, what do you think?"
