Hogwarts: Harry's Path to Witches

Chapter 83 The sound of snake

Harry held the book and quickly walked towards Gryffindor's dormitory.

Although he had a good relationship with Filch and had already reported his "confinement" at Professor Snape's place, he would not be demerited again if he was caught.

But it is curfew time after all. In order not to cause too much trouble, Harley subconsciously turned on her invisibility.

While passing by the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office on the third floor, Harry passed the ajar door and heard Professor Lockhart's cheers inside:

"It has been on the best-seller list for six months in a row! What an unprecedented record! Everyone, let's raise a glass and drink!"

Then there were many voices responding with the same timbre as Professor Lockhart, probably talking to his own photos.

In a way, Professor Lockhart is really a wonderful person!

Harley didn't stop for too long and continued to move forward.

Suddenly, she heard a sound, a sound completely different from Professor Lockhart's cheers.

This voice is creepy and breathless, and every word is full of viciousness and coldness:

"Come... come... let me tear you apart... tear you apart... kill you..."

As the sound rang out, there were subtle sounds of scaly Mosuo stones all around.

Harry's reaction was extremely quick. The wand and knife slid directly onto his hand. At the same time, he pressed his whole body against the wall away from the sound to avoid being attacked from the front and back.

But to her surprise, the voice didn't sound again for a long time.

Harley stayed silent for a long time. She was certain that the previous voice was snake language.

Harley discovered early on that she had the gift of snake language, which she had when she was an assassin.

And this is abnormal, because although the witch also masters snake language, she can only master this ability at least until she reaches the demigod level and has the form of a mythical creature related to snake creatures.

Of course, Harley never mentioned this to anyone, and only thought that she was gifted in the witch path.

Later, after peeling off the soul fragment that originated from Voldemort, Harley noticed that her talent for snake language suddenly weakened, and she also understood that her abnormal talent for snake language at middle and low levels came from Voldemort.

"The one who spoke just now was a snake, and it was a very strong snake." Harley thought silently in her heart.

“The sound itself can make people feel intimidating and shake their spirits to a certain extent, at least with mid-sequence level strength.

The words contain murderous thoughts, which is normal, after all, they are cold-blooded animals.

But why is there such a snake in Hogwarts? And I barely sensed anything except the sound of it. "

Harley thought silently for a few minutes, and then walked to the dormitory in silence.

……

The rest of the journey was smooth and no obstacles were encountered.

Only Peeves, the ghost who is compatible with Harley, sings in a suit of armor.

Harry could probably guess now that Professor Snape specifically asked Bloody Barrow to warn Peeves not to bother him.

All the way back to the dormitory, there was almost no one in the Gryffindor common room.

Harley didn't stop and walked directly into her room.

The curtain on Lavender's bed was tightly closed, while the curtain on Parvati's bed was open.

Judging from the laughter that came from Lavender's bed from time to time, the pair of best friends were probably admiring the handsome covers of some magazines.

Hermione's curtains were not drawn either, and it could be seen that the girl was wearing pajamas, lying on the bed reading a large book for pleasure.

The moment Harry opened the door and walked in, Hermione subconsciously raised her head.

Seeing Harley, the girl's eyes lit up: "Harley, you are back!"

"Yes!" Harley yawned and threw the book onto the only empty bed in the dormitory.

"Let me go wash up first."

After Harry came out of the bathroom with his head wrapped in a towel, he went directly to Hermione's bed.

As expected, Hermione didn't close the tent, but just kept the tent door ajar.

Harry got in nimbly, pounced lightly, and pressed on Hermione's back.

Hermione was reading the "History of Transfiguration" with great interest when she was startled by Harry's actions.

After feeling the familiar soft and delicate body behind her, Hermione quickly realized who it was.

"Harry!" Hermione tried her best to turn over, letting Harley's head rest on her belly.

She said in a slightly complaining tone: "Can you not be so scary? I'm very timid!"

"Giggle!" Harley chuckled and did not respond. Instead, she turned over and lay directly on the bed.

The two of them were lying on the bed side by side, and Harley whispered what she had gained from this lesson.

Finally, Harry did not forget to mention to Hermione what the house elves said during the holidays.

And Harry spoke in more detail than Professor Snape. Except for not naming Dobby and saying that Hogwarts was in danger, everything else Dobby said was recounted.

As for what Dobby said about Hogwarts being in danger, Harry felt that it was better not to say such unfounded things.

It's not like the Dark Lord invades every year. How could Hogwarts, with its demigods in charge, be so dangerous?

Although she heard the snake language before, Harley could tell that the snake was definitely not at the level of a demigod. He had the strength to kill it alone, so it was not considered dangerous.

After listening to Harry's description, Hermione looked disgusted:

“Why are these creatures called house elves so disgusting?

I originally sympathized with them as slaves, but after hearing Dobby's behavior, I don't have much sympathy for them now! "

"Do you still sympathize with them?" Harley had a strange look on her face, and then relayed the history that Nico told her to Hermione.

After hearing this, Hermione's disgust for those house elves deepened again.

Hermione is kind, not stupid.

Although these house elves look very pitiful now, think about it, if the wizards were defeated in the first place, then it would be the humans who deserve pity now.

"Stop talking about those poor defeated people." Harley stretched, "When they made up their minds to destroy all mankind, we already had a life-or-death relationship with them.

Our ancestors' willingness to let them continue to live as slaves is already the greatest grace. "

Hermione nodded and did not discuss the topic further.
