Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

I'm going to Hogwarts soon.

Not long ago, the news of Voldemort's demise was announced, and Harry could finally go to Hogwarts with peace of mind. The Brave Training Program was cancelled, and he should be able to enjoy a fulfilling student life.

Before school started, a group of us kids got together with Harry at Black House. I thought we would discuss future expectations, which college we would enter, what clubs we would participate in, etc., but Neville mentioned the frog his uncle gave him as a school gift, breaking the relaxed atmosphere.

When I mentioned the possibility that frogs would be eaten if taken to places with many owls, everyone's attention immediately focused on Neville's pet issue.

Draco suggested that Neville buy an owl, because he often contacts herbologists outside Hogwarts, and an owl is obviously more suitable. Harry also advised him not to bring the frog, pointing out that the frog has a habit of escaping, and it may not only be eaten by snakes or owls, but also be used as a potion material by someone. He himself planned to bring a miniaturized Nagini to Hogwarts, and he said that the Council had allowed him to use Parseltongue to communicate with Nagini. So he tried his best to persuade Neville not to bring the frog.

Of course, Nagini wouldn't eat her friends' pets.

By the way, I once imitated the voices of Harry and Nagini's conversation, and Harry laughed and said that I could speak Parseltongue. Although I don't understand the meaning of those words, it seems that I can learn Parseltongue after I grow up. Draco and my brothers also tried to imitate, but they all failed. It seems that this depends on talent. But Charlie has not given up. Vincent and Gregory may learn it, but they are not interested in things that are not related to food.

Harry and Nagini are teaching me Parseltongue seriously, and now I can have some simple conversations. Harry said that he hopes to find more people who can speak Parseltongue in Hogwarts and set up a club. He is determined to eliminate the prejudice against Parseltongue. Although it is difficult to create teaching materials, because the phonetic symbols of Parseltongue are difficult to record, outsiders can only hear hissing sounds. But we decided not to give up, and asked the Weasley twins for help, and made a magical recorder to record simple words and sentences for everyone to practice.

Although prejudice is still strong, I think crazy Professor Keltborn will support us. Every time he inspects the snake gods in the school, he will be severely reprimanded for getting too close. Although he is usually gentle, he is particularly strict in this regard.

It is said that when Dumbledore was still the headmaster, he had planned to retire in a few years to focus on research, but when he heard that there was a basilisk in the school, he immediately changed his mind and insisted on working at Hogwarts until his death. The board of directors hinted that he should retire, but he said that if he retired, he would become a Forbidden Forest administrator, which made the retired wizards in the Forbidden Forest very nervous. They thought it would be better for him to continue to be a professor, at least to limit his behavior.

One of the people at the Office for the Control of Magical Creatures said that it's harder to control a Celticborn than a Parseltongue-speaking Basilisk. They always say that Celticborn is too excited to listen to anything. So I think he would definitely like to be our club advisor, or even a member.

As for Neville, even the usually quiet Theodore was helping out, pointing out that Neville could have easily bought an owl with the money he made from selling herbs. It seemed that no one wanted Neville to take the frog with him, after all, he was the heir to the Longbottom family, and he was so forgetful that if he took the runaway frog to Hogwarts, he would be destined to look for it everywhere on campus.

"Since it has a habit of running away, it's even more unsuitable to keep it. You'll be busy looking for it while studying, right? That's too troublesome. If you must keep it, at least practice the summoning spell first, or let Fred and George make a magical device to prevent escape. Otherwise, choose a pet that can only come back on its own." I said.

Everyone began to imagine Neville looking for the frog all over the school, and the persuasion became more intense. In the end, the focus of the party became persuading Neville to replace the frog. He seemed to like the frog very much, and it took a long time for him to reluctantly agree.

When his grandmother Augusta came to pick him up, everyone worked together to convince her not to let Neville take the frog.
