"I don't think it's a big deal," Ivy said out loud.
All three people looked at him
"Slytherin's Parseltongue is not hereditary. Since he can possess this talent, others will naturally have the opportunity. You are together every day, and you should know best whether Harry has released any monsters."
"But no one has seen that monster now. It's not certain whether it exists or not." Hermione said worriedly.
"Who said no one has seen it?" Ivy smiled, "Betty and I met that night."
"You've seen it!" Hermione looked at Betty in disbelief.
Betty nodded affirmatively
"Snake?" Harry asked softly
"Yes! A very huge snake. It's almost as tall as me lying on the ground."
"It didn't petrify you?" Ron asked
"I don't know how it petrified others. Betty and I were severely traumatized just by looking at its eyes."
"Eyes?" Harry whispered
"According to my inference, as long as you look into its eyes, you will be mentally attacked. With Betty's strength, she will still be severely injured despite layers of protection. I don't recommend that you track it."
"What if you don't stop it and it keeps killing people?" Harry didn't want to stand by and watch.
"Is there anything you can do if you go? There is no point other than dying in vain. Especially you, Harry."
Ivey looked at him. "When you hear it speak, don't follow it blindly every time. It's never a good thing to be seen at the scene of a crime. Once can be explained, twice is a coincidence, but what about three times?"
Harry bowed his head and remained silent
"If you cannot tell that you are a Parselmouth, your situation will be even more dangerous. Little wizards are not rational people, they prefer to believe what they see."
Ivy's words made Harry very troubled. He was a purely good person, and the decision to put others in danger was not an easy decision for him.
Even if he knew that Harry would remain the same, Ivy should say these things. After all, the two have been classmates for many years, and it would be false to say that they don't care. Don't talk about a person with a good character for such a long time, he is just a dog.
I also developed feelings.
"I can try, but there's no guarantee." Harry reluctantly agreed.
"That's enough. Even if something happens, don't worry, there are still us~"
"Yes, we will always be on your side" Ron and Hermione said together
"Thanks"
Seeing that they had regained their composure, Ivy spoke again, "There's something else I don't know whether I should say or not. It's related to Ginny."
"What happened to her?" Ron asked hurriedly.
"On the night of the attack, when Betty and I went upstairs, we happened to see Ginny coming downstairs. Her expression was definitely not normal." Ivy was very sure in his words.
"You don't want to say that Ginny is the heir," Ron stuttered.
"Impossible! None of the Weasleys can be the heirs of Slytherin," Hermione immediately objected.
"I didn't say she was. Remember when we concluded that Ginny was being controlled?"
"You mean the person who controls her is the heir!" Harry suddenly realized.
"At least it should be relevant."
"It must be Malfoy! He has always disliked our family!" Ron stood up and started to fight with Malfoy.
Hermione quickly grabbed him and said, "Calm down, it can't be Malfoy, he doesn't have that ability."
"Yes, if it is Malfoy, he would like the whole world to know that he is the heir of Slytherin." Harry also advised.
The two people's statements were reasonable, and Ron calmed down. "Even if it's not him, it may be related to him. Maybe it's his father. Lucius obviously meets the conditions."
"Lucius is certainly a suspect," Ivy agreed.
"But Ivy, what about Ginny? Just ignore her?" Hermione was worried about the little girl's safety.
"There is nothing we can do to help her at the moment. Being able to release the basilisk means that the heir has a relatively complete control over her. If we deliberately contact her again, we will easily be attacked by the basilisk."
For example, he and Betty were attacked by a basilisk just because they happened to meet each other. "Ginny's matter can be solved as long as the mastermind behind it is caught. There is no need to deliberately target her."
"Do I need to monitor her?" Hermione took out a paper butterfly
"You think about it for yourselves. If you encounter an emergency, try not to be impulsive. This is not a joke. If you are careless, your life may be lost." Ivey said cautiously.
“Don’t worry, we’ve got it covered.”
It would be great if you really knew how to count. Ivey thought...

The episode in the Chamber of Secrets made the atmosphere of Hogwarts a bit heavy. And the Defense Against the Dark Arts class that was supposed to play an important role turned into a joke again.
Ever since the elf riot in the first class, this course has completely become a place for Lockhart to brag. He acted out various passages from his book in the form of a stage play, bragging loudly to the students about his deeds.
Now, except for the idiot fans like Hermione, everyone else has basically switched to other fans.
After another Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson
"Did you get it?" Ivy asked as the three of them walked out of the classroom.
After the last incident, the Iron Triangle was still obsessed with the heir. They felt that since Lucius was highly suspicious, his son Malfoy must know something. In addition, Hermione, a top student, happened to know the existence of Polyjuice Potion.
The three of them hit it off immediately. They planned to dress up as Slytherin students and see if they could get some information out of Malfoy.
Just after class, they went to trick Lockhart, hoping to authorize them to go to the restricted area of the library to find the formula.
"I can't believe it - he didn't even read the book we wanted!" Harry said incredulously. Fortunately, he thought of a lot of reasons, but none of them were used.
"It's normal. He's just a brainless idiot." Ron said that it was expected. He had already seen clearly what Lockhart was.
"Hey, he's not stupid!" Hermione screamed
"And he said he wasn't stupid - I bet he would have signed it if there was anything that could be kept for a while." Ron responded disdainfully.
"Sir and madam, please stop arguing, okay? Let's go check out the recipe first." Ivy stopped the two of them from bickering.
The group entered the library and after showing Mr. Lockhart's approval note, Mrs. Pince stood up and walked towards the restricted area. After a while, she held a thick book full of dust and handed it to Hermione. Hermione quickly hid the book in
Schoolbags, several people left sneakily.
A few minutes later, the five of them arrived at the abandoned women's bathroom on the third floor. Hermione opened the book and found the recipe for Polyjuice Potion. Everyone joined in.
"I have never seen such a complicated potion," Hermione exclaimed, "Lacewings, leeches, oozing grass..."
"What is this? Apart from oozing grass, I have never heard of anything else!" Ron, a scumbag, looked at the formula blankly. He knew all the words on it, but when combined together, it seemed so unfamiliar.
"It doesn't matter whether you have heard of it or not!" Hermione scolded. "Most of the things above are easy to get. They are in the student lockers. The key point is these - where can I get the bicorn horn ground into powder?
?—You can’t even buy fragments of African tree snake skin!—The most important thing is that we need something from the person we want to change.”
After hearing this, Ron was unhappy.
"I'm sorry! I need to interrupt you," he shouted, raising his voice. "Please explain, what do you mean by needing something from that person? I must declare in advance that if Crabbe's toenails are in it, I will definitely
I don’t know how to drink!”
"You don't need to worry about this for now, you'll need those things at the end. You should spend more time thinking about how to get the other materials," Hermione said calmly, ignoring Ron.
"I can help with the material problem," Ivey said promptly.
"That's right! Mrs. Irene works in a hospital, so it shouldn't be difficult for her to get these medicinal materials," Ron responded.
"That's okay~ Originally, I was going to steal it from Snape." Hermione looked a little regretful.
"How long does it take to make the potion?" Harry asked.
"I did the math - the lacewings need to survive for twenty days, and the sapweed must be full moon before it can be harvested - well - I estimate it will take about a month to complete," Hermione answered after going through the process.
"What? A month! Did you make a mistake? By then, the heir may have killed all the Muggle students!" Ron lost his temper and said, "Otherwise - we should let Mrs. Eileen help with the production. Can
Much faster.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Hermione suddenly narrowed her eyes and stared at him, her eyes turning white as if with murderous intent.
"I think it's better to let Hermione make it." Ivy rushed to the rescue. "My mother is a doctor after all. If there are many patients, Hermione can't do it quickly."
"Really? This is the only way." Ron felt a little regretful
Hermione then looked back with satisfaction.
"I'll send a message to Eileen right away to see if there are any ready-made materials. But if it can't be completed in a month, we won't be able to accompany you. We have to go back for Christmas. As for when to act, you can decide for yourself.
, Prioritize safety." Ivey warned them.
"Don't worry, we will write to you if anything happens."
"That's good"

This Saturday, the long-awaited Academy Cup finally begins.
As soon as noon arrived, the Quidditch pitch was already overcrowded.
And it's not just the teachers and students of Hogwarts. In order to dispel the recent rumors of the secret room and completely dispel the terrifying suspicions of the heir, Hogwarts is organizing a special event for this College Cup.
Not only all the professors were present, but also celebrities from outside the school. For example, Minister of Magic Fudge, the famous Auror "Mad Eye" Moody, Minister of International Magical Exchange Barty Crouch, etc. - even as Huo
Lucius Malfoy, a shareholder of Gwarts, was invited to watch the event.
The luxurious lineup ignited unprecedented enthusiasm among the students. Especially the senior students, such as Percy. They made up various reasons to go to the VIP platform to say hello, and they were all eager to show their faces in front of the leaders so that they could be in the spotlight after graduation.
Find a decent job. If you can take one step closer and take this opportunity to get to know the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic, your future will be guaranteed.
Ivy did not watch with everyone in the Hufflepuff Stand this time. As the largest shareholder of Hogwarts, as expected, he was also invited to the VIP seats.
