Hogwarts: From Squibs to Greatness

Chapter 98
What John didn't expect was that the fire caused by Harry's Parseltongue would burn himself.

Ernie, who entered Hufflepuff with his classmate in the year, has spared no effort to promote the rumors that Harry is the heir of Slytherin, and that Voldemort killed him to kill another "devil" in the cradle. .

It was the next afternoon, before herbal medicine class, and John went to the library to look up books on basilisks.

That's when he saw a group of Hufflepuff students sitting in the back of the library, they didn't look like they were studying their lessons.

John quickly walked to the bookshelf near them, and with his hearing, he could clearly hear one of the tall and burly boys talking seriously

"So, anyway, I told Justin to hide in our dorm."

"I mean, if Potter is going to kill him for sure, he'd better hide for a while."

"Of course, Justin has always expected this to happen ever since he accidentally told Potter that he was a natural Muggle, and Justin actually told Potter that he had fucked Eton College."

"That's not something you can say about the descendants of Slytherin, is it?"

"So, Ernie, are you sure it's Potter?" Hannah Abbott, with her blond ponytail, asked eagerly.

"Hannah," said the big boy gravely, "he's a Parseltongue. Everyone knows that's the mark of a Dark wizard. Have you ever heard of a decent wizard talking to a snake? Slytherin himself was called Snake language is clear."

After hearing this, everyone started talking in whispers.

Ernie went on to say: "Salazar Slytherin thinks that Hogwarts should be more selective in the selection of students. His view is that magical education should be limited to pure magical families. This is the so-called pure blood. Argument."

"Remember what the legend said?"

"Legend has it that Salazar Slytherin built a room somewhere in Hogwarts, which is what we call the Chamber of Secrets today. Later, because the other three founders did not agree with Salazar Slytherin's pure blood theory. In the end Salazar Slytherin left Hogwarts and sealed the Chamber of Secrets."

"When he left, he said that when the heir returned, the Chamber of Secrets would be opened again, and that only the heir could open the Chamber of Secrets. There was a monster in the Chamber of Secrets, and this monster was used to cleanse the school of all those whom Slytherin considered unworthy of learning magic. "

"Slytherin thinks that people who are not worthy of learning magic are combined with his point of view. Isn't it obvious? Muggle wizards must be!"

"He always seemed so friendly, though," Hannah said hesitantly. "And, by the way, he made You-Know-Who disappear. He can't be that bad, can he?"

Ernie lowered his voice mysteriously, the Hufflepuffs huddled closer, and John moved closer to hear Ernie.

"No one knows how he narrowly escaped death when he was attacked by a mysterious person. I mean, when that happened, he was still a baby. He should have been blown to pieces, only Only a truly powerful dark wizard can escape a spell like that."

His voice was lower, almost a whisper, and he said: "Probably because of this, the mysterious person wants to kill him. He doesn't want another 'devil' to compete with him. I don't know Potter What other magical powers are hiding from everyone."

John frowned when he heard this. If such a rumor spreads, no matter who it is, it will suffer unbearable criticism.

And the snake language can also be learned the day after tomorrow, just like Principal Dumbledore can also speak the snake language. Could it be that Principal Dumbledore is also a descendant of Slytherin?

At this moment, he heard Ernie continue to say: "And look at the friends Harry has made, Ron Weasley and Neville Longbottom are all from pure-blood families."

"Isn't there Granger? She is also a Muggle-born wizard?" Hannah retorted.

"You are too naive, Hannah, Harry and Granger are friends just to pretend, because he is fledgling and not strong enough, so he needs Granger's identity as a Muggle wizard to let everyone subconsciously ignore him, Even if the monsters start to kill in the future, no one doubts him."

"Then why didn't he pretend yesterday? Command the snake in Parseltongue in public?" another Hufflepuff student asked.

Seeing Ernie swearing: "Because of John Williams!"

Everyone was surprised by the name Ernie said.

"You see, John has shown great talent since he entered school. Whether it is the magic he cast against Professor Lockhart yesterday or the magic he cast to eliminate the troll last semester, it can be seen that it is a powerful spell."

"And judging from the effects, these magics are most likely to be black magic. In addition, Professor Snape appreciates John very much, and it can be seen that he is very talented in black magic."

"You see, John seldom appears in the school. He used to conduct experiments in the dormitory. Although it is said that he is conducting an alchemy experiment, no one knows if it is true. Maybe he is doing alchemy experiments at the same time. Experiment with black magic."

"And he and Harry are friends, and John is also a pure-blood, isn't he? Maybe John is not only Harry's friend, but also his most loyal subordinate."

"From the book written by Professor Lockhart, it can be seen that the opponent is not that weak, but John can defeat him in one blow. With such a powerful subordinate, Harry naturally doesn't have to hide his identity as a descendant of Slytherin!"

Everyone nodded thoughtfully. It can indeed be seen from John's usual performance that his magic level is no longer at the same level as theirs, and he even defeated the professor in public yesterday.

Thinking that Harry had such a powerful and ruthless subordinate as John, everyone turned pale.

John was already laughed at at the moment. Ernie often listened to the wind and rain spread some specious rumors in the college, and he guessed well every time, but in the end it was proved not to be the case.

But he never apologized, he always said afterwards that this was the case, and then he still went his own way.

When John was conducting experiments in the dormitory before, it was reported that this guy was conducting black magic experiments, so many people in Hufflepuff looked at him strangely during that time.

It wasn't until I came back after Christmas and saw the alchemy props received by the professors, knowing that it was made by John, that it was a little better.

John didn't want to listen to Ernie's nonsense anymore, so John walked out from behind the bookshelf and walked in the direction where Ernie was.

Because she didn't want to cover up her figure, Hannah spotted John immediately, and Hannah turned paler and looked in the direction John came from in horror.

When the others saw Hannah's behavior, they were naturally curious, and they also looked in that direction, and saw John approaching, and then they all looked at Ernie in horror.

The same was true for Ernie, his face was completely drained of blood, and his body couldn't stop shaking.

"Williams, what's the matter with you?" Ernie asked with a trembling voice

John stared indifferently at the trembling boy in front of him, and said directly, "Ernie McMillan, I think we need to have a good talk."

Ernie bit his pale lips, then took a deep breath and said, "Okay... okay, what do you want to talk to me about..."

"Talk about these so-called 'truths' you said." John's tone seemed to be mixed with ice, and he walked slowly to Ernie's side.

During this process, Longwei was released quietly, covering everyone here.

"First of all, Parseltongue is not a hallmark of Slytherin. Even though he is the most famous Parseltongue, this language can be learned the day after tomorrow. For example, Principal Dumbledore can speak Parseltongue."

"Harry didn't hate Muggles, Hermione befriended him because he was worth it, and Voldemort didn't kill Harry because his parents saved him with their lives!"

"Secondly, Snape appreciates me because of my talent in potions, not black magic."

"Furthermore, I don't care about my pure blood status, if I can, I'd rather be born into a Muggle family"

"Besides, don't you guys have your own judgment? Without investigating, just believe this groundless statement and suspect others at will."

"If one day this kind of doubt falls on yourselves, can you still talk calmly like today?"

John looked around at the little badgers indifferently, and looked at them one by one.

Facing John's eyes, they avoided their eyes unnaturally. .

John looked at Ernie again, and his tone was still full of indifference: "I don't know where I messed with you and let you arrange me like this. You made rumors that I was studying black magic in the dormitory, but I didn't pursue it."

"But starting today, if I know what rumors you spread again, no matter who the rumors involve, I will 'educate' you well and let you learn to control your mouth."

"Understand?"

Hearing John's words, Ernie covered his mouth with his hands in fear and nodded frantically.

The other Hufflepuff students didn't dare to say anything when they saw this scene, they huddled on the chair like a quail to reduce their sense of presence.

Because what John said just now was indeed true, they didn't investigate at all, just because Ernie's words confirmed the truth of the matter in their hearts, and if these words were spread, they could foresee how much discussion it would cause.

As for Harry and John, who are the center of this discussion, how many gossips and strange attentions will they bear.

When Hannah and the other girls thought of this, they were all flustered.

John ignored everyone and turned to leave, but when he passed a bookshelf, a familiar figure quickly hid.

But he didn't care and left the library directly.

Shortly after John left, except for Ernie, the other little badgers also left the library in a hurry, all of them in a trance.

There is Long Wei's reason for this, but it's more because they haven't recovered from John's words, and they are still reflecting on what happened just now.

Ernie sat blankly on the seat. As John's special subject, his mind was in chaos at the moment, and John's threats kept echoing in his mind.

And that familiar figure was Harry. Standing behind the bookshelf and looking at Ernie like this, he didn't know how he felt.

Anger, sadness... maybe more joy.

He heard what John said just now, and Harry was very grateful to John, who would want to be treated like a disaster if he could?
Parseltongue is not the talent he wants to have!It's not up to him to decide.

Finally, Harry looked at Ernie for a long time before turning and leaving the library.

　Ernie made rumors more than once in the original book, this is the Chamber of Secrets, and the same is true for the subsequent Triwizard Tournament, which is basically the rhythm he brought up. After all, Hufflepuff has the most people and is the most innocent.
