Chapter 83 It's impossible for them to go shopping for candy together, right?
Ron swallowed the sandwich in his throat. He ate the sandwich dry without a drink, which made Ron choke. After rolling his eyes, he said to Harry: "We checked a lot of books today, as you saw,
Wizards often have many strange abilities. Generally speaking, these abilities disappear after adulthood, but there are always rare exceptions. You can recall whether you had any special abilities when you were a child. This may help.
.If you ask me, this is much more useful than aimlessly flipping through books in the library."
Harry sighed. He didn't like this feeling of being an outlier. But he felt that Ron's words were very reasonable. He frowned and thought for a while, and something gradually emerged from the depths of his mind.
That day was his cousin Dali's birthday, and he had not yet received the admission notice to Hogwarts. On Dali's birthday, he went to the zoo with his classmates, and Harry was also taken along - no
The Dursleys wanted to take him out for a ride, but Mrs. Figg was temporarily busy and could not look after the Dursleys' children.
Uncle Vernon fought for a while and finally chose to take Harry out between letting Harry stay at home and taking him out.
In the zoo, Harry discovered that he could actually understand what the python said and could make the glass disappear! He used these two abilities to scare his cousin. At first, he thought this was something that God knows and you know.
What I knew was finally discovered by Uncle Vernon, and he was severely punished.
Originally, he had completely forgotten about this matter, because people always subconsciously forget those unhappy memories, which is also a human memory protection measure. But when Ron mentioned it, Harry remembered it again.
"What? You can understand a python!"
What caught Harry a little off guard was that after hearing the news, Ron was so shocked that he threw away the sandwich in his hand.
"Isn't this normal? You said that wizards have all kinds of magical abilities. For example, some Nevilles can use magic to wrap their blankets tighter shortly after he is born, and Tom can make withered
Flowers are blooming..." Harry gave several examples to make his words more convincing.
"Parseltongue is different." Ron said very seriously.
"Snake... sorry, what?"
"Snake," Ron said one word at a time. He also looked around to make sure that no other creatures except sparrows were listening to their conversation. "Harry, can you understand the snake language?"
Don't tell other people about this matter. You and I know the ins and outs, so it's okay to talk to each other. Fortunately, you told me about this matter in advance——"
"Why?" Harry felt a little ridiculous, how could he become an alien again? Is being able to understand Parseltongue the original sin?
In the British wizarding world, being able to speak Parseltongue is really an original sin. Because this talent has become a symbol of dark wizards. Ron even feels that no decent wizard can talk to snakes. This is mainly because it is a very special kind of thing.
A rare ability, and usually hereditary. Almost all Parseltongues are descendants of Salazar Slytherin, who are basically all ardent pureblood supporters. As we all know, pureblood supporters
The distance between him and the dark wizard is thinner than parchment, so in this context, Parseltongue has been completely stigmatized.
Parseltongue in the British wizarding community is similar to the Muggle arm-raised salute, the brushed beard. The arm-raised salute originated from Rome, and the brushed mustache was a popular style in Germany in 1930. As a result, this gesture became a polemic because of a failed art student.
Synonymous with right-wing forces, no German will ever retain this look.
Harry saying that he knew Parseltongue in front of other classmates had the same effect as wearing a mustache and raising his arms to passers-by on the streets of Germany.
Ron told Harry the whole story, and Harry was stunned.
"How is this possible, I..." Harry really couldn't accept this reality.
Ron patted his shoulder, "I'm not surprised. This ability is hereditary. The Potter family is a pure-blood family with a very long history. They must have a distant or close blood relationship with Slytherin. Maybe
Which of your ancestors does this talent come from?"
Ron's words are not pure comfort, but they are true. In order to maintain the purity of their bloodline, pure-blood families will only marry other pure-blood families - at least those who remain on the genealogy are like this. Over the centuries
, each family is more or less mixed with the blood of other families.
Even mortal enemies are no exception. If Ron Weasley wanted to, he would definitely be related to Draco Malfoy. If we dig deeper, the two might even have a very distant blood relationship.
Even with this statement, Harry was still very disappointed.
"Eh? Why are they two together?" Ron's voice attracted Harry's attention.
At this time, Harry and Ron were at the window of Gryffindor Tower. From the window, they could clearly see the lawn outside the school. The two of them watched in surprise as Lockhart and Professor Dumbledore walked across the lawn together.
Entering the castle, looking at the two people walking in a hurry, it seemed that something big had happened.
Although Professor Lockhart has conquered the little wizards with his cool courses in the past few weeks, for some reason, Harry and Ron always have a faint sense of distrust towards Lockhart. This feeling takes root.
Deep down in my heart, it seems to be the same instinct as breathing.
Is Professor Lockhart's course interesting? Yes. Do you like it? Yes. Do you like Professor Lockhart? No.
This is a very complicated and strange feeling, and neither Harry nor Harry can figure out the reason.
"It's so strange. What can the two of them do together? Is it to go to a candy store to buy candies?"
Ron felt that when President Dumbledore and Professor Lockhart got together, it was definitely not to buy candy, but something important had happened.
"Come on, follow us and take a look!" He and Harry quickly ran back to the dormitory and took out the invisibility cloak - it was a Christmas gift that Harry received when he was in first grade. He never understood who put it like this.
Something precious was given to him.
He and Ron put on the cloak together, hiding their figures.
"Go to Professor Dumbledore's office! If there is anything big, the two of them must go to the principal's office first." At this moment, Harry's brain was spinning rapidly and he made a conjecture.
They arrived outside Dumbledore's office and huddled in a corner to wait quietly. Soon, Professor Lockhart and Professor Dumbledore appeared in their field of vision. Dumbledore gave the password, and the gargoyle slowly
A passage was opened to allow the two of them to pass through, and Harry and Ron followed Lockhart and entered the passage behind the stone statue.
