"Ha--you guys have pretty even tastes," Ivy said teasingly.
Seeing Lu Wei drooling all over the floor, he still didn't move. He spoke.
"Eat, I'm not in a hurry to leave. Let's chat for a while."
Lu Wei's eyes flickered, as if he was struggling between food and reason. But it didn't last long before he rushed towards the food with a roar and started to eat it happily.
Lu Wei devoured his food, and Ivy simply sat down cross-legged in front of him.
"Hey, guys. Have you noticed any other large magical creatures in Hogwarts recently?" Ivy casually chatted.
Lu Wei's middle head suddenly raised his head to look at him, then immediately lowered his head and continued to chew the beef.
"It seems that you are aware of it. That's right, dogs' perception itself is very strong, not to mention you are a magical creature."
"In this case, you should also know what that thing is. Frankly speaking, I can kill it, but it will take a lot of effort and may cost a lot."
"So I want to ask you for help. Although Harry and the others will have Fox's help, it's still not safe enough. Fox, you know, is Dumbledore's phoenix."...
In the sound of Ivy talking to himself, Lu Wei finished his meal. He lay down again and closed his eyes.
"After talking for so long, why don't you show your attitude?" Ivy saw that it started to sleep soundly again, so he walked up and shouted.
"roar--!"
Feeling a little annoyed by Ivey's harassment, Lu Wei roared at him and spattered his face.
"I fell in love just after eating~" Ivey wiped a handful of saliva
"I don't understand what's wrong with following me. You can eat well and don't have to stay in this little dark room. Think about it again. I'll come back next time."
The footsteps gradually faded away, and the room became silent again, except for Lu Wei's snoring.

In the next few days, Ivy kept looking for opportunities to provide Harry with some clues. Unfortunately, as the parties involved in the Chamber of Secrets incident, the three of them were greatly affected, and everyone seemed to be avoiding them on purpose.
Harry and the others were obviously aware of this situation, and they also deliberately stayed away from the crowd and staggered their meal times. Moreover, there were no classes between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor recently, so Ivy couldn't even find the three of them.
Today, I finally got the chance. I will have a magical history class with Gryffindor in the afternoon.
As soon as Ivy and Betty entered the classroom, they found Harry and Harry sitting alone in the corner, and he walked over directly.
"It's really hard to find you"
"Ivy, don't get too close - you will be isolated," Harry warned softly immediately.
"Huh?" Ive was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "If you realize this, it is indeed better than the original work."
"What original work? What are you talking about?" Harry asked doubtfully
"It's nothing. Don't be too busy leaving after class. I have something to tell you." They sat directly next to the three of them.
"Are you listening to me? Don't get too close to us."
"Okay~ No one will doubt that I am the heir of Slattery." Ivy said to him to relax.
After a while, the ghost professor Binns floated in.
"Today we are going to learn about the Wizards' Conference of 128. This conference is very important. It formulated many regulations that are still in effect today. You can turn to page 862 of the history textbook for a detailed understanding."
Professor Spencer began to talk in his dry voice. After an hour, most people were half asleep and half awake.
"Professor" a clear voice broke everyone's dreams, it was Hermione.
Professor Spencer raised his head and adjusted the reading glasses on his face. Ivy always wanted to complain about why ghosts wear glasses. And why there are ghost glasses.
"Who are you?"
"I am Hermione Granger, Professor"
"What's the matter?"
"Professor, can you please tell me about the rumors about the secret room?"
Hermione's words were astonishing, and the other students instantly became energetic.
"Sorry, this is a history of magic class, not a class on myths and legends. We are talking about objective facts." Professor Spin refused her request.
"Okay, let's continue. In October of that year -"
"But sir, legends are all based on facts, right?" Hermione interrupted the professor's narration again.
Professor Spin looked at her in surprise, as if he did not expect that a student would continuously interrupt his lecture. Looking at the other students who were also very interested, Professor Spin said slowly
"Okay, you can say that. But the legend you call is just a rumor, and it can even be said to be a ridiculous story."
"The secret room, right? Let me think about it..." Professor Spencer was silent for a while before speaking.
"That starts a long time ago. Everyone knows that Hogwarts has four houses, and these are also the names of the founders - the four greatest wizards at the time. They are: Godric Gryffindor, Hull
Ga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin."
"Ordinary people in that era were very afraid of magic, so wizards were persecuted a lot. So the four of them built this castle together to stay away from the eyes of Muggles."
"At first, the four of them worked together to find young people with magical talents and brought them to the castle to train them. But as time went by, they gradually began to have differences. Slytherin believed that Hogwarts' recruitment scope
, should be limited to pure wizarding families and are unwilling to accept children from Muggle families. The other three are on the contrary. They believe that Muggles and purebloods should be treated equally."
"In this way, the rift between Slytherin and the other three became bigger and bigger, and a fierce quarrel broke out. Finally, Salazar Slytherin left the school."
"What does this have to do with the Chamber of Secrets?" Hermione wondered. She thought what the professor said was wrong.
"Reliable history tells us this. And the secret room you mentioned is just a ridiculous nonsense. Probably, before Slytherin left, he built a secret room in the castle, and even the other founders didn't know the location. Legend has it that
, when the true heir of Slytherin comes to the school, he can open the secret room and release the terrifying things inside, allowing it to purify the school and eliminate all those who are not worthy of learning magic. That is, Muggles."
After the story was told, the classroom fell into silence. The little wizards had different expressions on their faces, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
"Of course, this is all nonsense. The school and the Ministry of Magic have inspected the castle countless times. In the end, nothing was found."
At this time, Hermione said again, "Professor, what exactly is the so-called "scary thing"?"
"People thought it was some kind of monster that only the heir of Slytherin could control."
The students were a little nervous when they heard about the monster, and they exchanged glances with each other.
"I tell you, don't spend time on these messy rumors. There is no secret room! There is no monster! If there was one, so many presidents would have discovered it long ago." Professor Spin concluded.
"But Professor, you just said that this secret room can only be opened by the heir of Slytherin." Seamus retorted.
"Yes, maybe there are some conditions to open it. For example, it must use black magic!" Parti Patil said sharply
"Just because a wizard doesn't use black magic doesn't mean he doesn't know how to do it," Professor Spencer said meaningfully.
"Then maybe it has to have some specific relationship with Slytherin"...
For a while, Professor Spencer argued endlessly with the students.
after class
"I've known for a long time that Salazar is a perverted old lunatic," Ron whispered to Hermione. "I don't know how he thought of pure blood, such ridiculous nonsense. Anyway, I won't join Slater even if they ask me for money."
Forestry College. If the Sorting Hat had sorted me into Slytherin, I would have just taken the car home without saying a word."
Hermione nodded in agreement.
"Don't think about it. Let's go to the courtyard. I have something to tell you." Ivy interrupted the conversation between the two.
Beside the bench in the courtyard
"Ivy, what do you want to say?" Harry asked
"Harry, I have something to confirm with you before I say anything." Ivy said seriously.
"You asked"
"Are you sure only you can hear that sound?"
"Of course" Harry confirmed
"We can also prove" Ron and Hermione nodded repeatedly, "that night, we were the Mrs. Norris that Harry discovered."
"Any questions?" Harry asked nervously
"Yes!" Ivy frowned. "I remember you told me before that you could hear some sounds. We were still in elementary school at that time. Can you remember it?"
"Elementary school?" Harry frowned.
"Hmm~ It's been too long and I can't remember clearly. It seems to be related to your cousin." Ivey continued to guide him
"Is it related to Dudley? Let me think about it." Harry lowered his head and fell into thought.
"That's right!" After a few seconds, he suddenly raised his head and shouted with bright eyes, "Snake! It's a snake!"
"What snake? Can you explain it?" Hermione and Ron were confused.
"Ron, I finally know what that sound is! It's snake language! Snake language!" Harry happily grabbed Ron's shoulders and shook him. "When Ivy and I were in school, we went to the zoo with my cousin's family.
, I happened to have a conversation with a Brazilian python at that time. The voice I heard before at Hogwarts was snake language, and the monster was a snake!"
"You're a Parselmouth!" Ron shouted.
Hermione also looked at Harry in shock.
"What Parseltongue?" This time it was Harry's turn to be confused.
"You can talk to snakes," Hermione explained.
"Yes, I can do it. Is there anything strange about it? Many people should be able to do it."
"Harry, this is not an ordinary skill. It is a special talent." Ron's expression was very bad.
"That's a good thing. Why are you so sad?" Harry asked strangely.
"If it were normal times, it would be a good thing." Hermione smiled bitterly, "But this time it is too bad. You know, Salazar himself is a parselmouth."
"What!" Harry exclaimed.
"If everyone knew you were a Parseltongue, they would definitely think you were the heir of Slytherin. One hundred percent." Ron said bitterly.
"But I'm not! I belong to Gryffin -" Harry was speechless before he could finish his words. He suddenly remembered that the Sorting Hat originally sorted him into Slytherin.
