"Follow me!" Severus squeezed three words out between his teeth, and the black robe rolled away with strides.Anita could only trot behind Severus.The little wizards around stepped back to make way for Severus and Anita. They looked at Anita with suspicious and fearful eyes, and whispered to the people next to them.Even Anita, who had always been big-hearted, felt a little uncomfortable at this moment.

After Anita followed Severus into the office, Severus slammed the door shut with a loud bang.The door brushed Anita's arm, and Anita flinched.Although she has made big and small mistakes over the years, the last time Severus was so angry was when she ran away from home to Hogwarts. Anita thought of the potions her father added after inheriting Prince Manor When collecting books, I feel my hands start to ache.

"Speaking Parseltongue in front of the whole school? Do you think not enough people know about your background?" Severus said with a gloomy face, turning abruptly to Anita.

"I'm sorry, I didn't do it on purpose." Anita has always been quick to admit her mistakes, "I subconsciously spoke the snake language when I saw the snake."

"Subconscious? Are you holding a wooden stick? Can't even use Mantra? Do you have to use Parseltongue?"

Anita explained weakly, "I saw Draco being attacked, and as soon as I was in a hurry..."

"Yeah, Draco and I are useless, you have to shoot to defeat that snake. That beautiful head on your neck is not an ornament, use it! Don't worry about it being used up..."

Anita obediently bowed her head and listened to the training.In fact, as long as you think about it a little bit, you will know that Draco can't deal with a snake. Even if the snake is taller than Draco and Draco is distracted, Draco can easily deal with it of.And Severus was not far from Draco, so he couldn't possibly hurt Draco.But didn't Anita use her brain to think when she was in a hurry?

The brain is a good thing, you can't lose it at a critical moment, Anita thought angrily.

At this moment, a clear phoenix cry sounded outside the door, and after Severus opened the door, Dumbledore's Phoenix Fawkes dropped a note.

Severus finished reading the note with a frown, glared at Anita, and said, "Dumbledore wants to see me."

"Is it possible that Professor Dumbledore will not associate Parseltongue with me as that person's daughter?" Anita asked with a little bit of luck.

"What do you think?"

How could Dumbledore, an old fox, not expect that Anita suddenly became dejected.

Severus sighed and comforted, "Dumbledore must have guessed it, but he won't do anything to you. What you need to worry about are the Dark Lord's fanatical supporters and the Dark Lord's enemies. Fortunately, Potter also used Parseltongue before you, which somewhat confuses others. Remember, no matter who comes to ask you, don't admit that you are the daughter of the Dark Lord, do you hear me?"

Anita nodded vigorously.

"I'll go to the principal's office, you stay here for now." Severus said as he walked out.

This time it was over, Anita breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on the sofa in a relaxed manner.Unexpectedly, Severus, who had already opened the door, suddenly turned around and looked at Anita with a half-smile.Anita immediately made a posture of sitting upright, but it was too late, Severus pronounced angrily, "Volumes 1 to 20 of "Detailed Explanation of Potions" once, Prince's family rules 1 times, you can start to copy gone."

"Detailed Explanation of Potion" is super thick!And why copy Prince's family rules?Papa and Lucius are learning badly!

Anita felt bitter, but Anita still had to obediently take out the parchment and start copying the book.

After Severus left, the diary, which he wrote several times for Severus, floated out of the small notebook, and said quietly to Anita, "Twenty times the Gaunt family rules."

"What?" Anita, who was copying the house rules with three quill pens in one hand, shook her hand, destroyed a piece of paper, and said to the diary gentleman a little annoyed, "Can you stop making trouble?"

Mr. Diary floated to the corner to plant mushrooms, why did Anita obediently listen to the training in front of Severus, and it was just adding to the trouble when he came here?He also wants to discipline his daughter.

Looking at the back of Mr. Diary covered by the materialized shadow, Anita helplessly raised her forehead.Over the past few days, Anita's heart has shattered the powerful and dangerous image of Mr. Ben the Diary when he first saw him.Anita deeply suspects that being sliced ​​has caused irreversible damage to Diary Ben's IQ.

What a ghost, she felt so guilty when she saw the depressed diary Mr. Ben?

Anita put down her pen and asked Mr. Diary, "Don't you dislike the Gunter family?"

"But the Riddle family has no house rules, and I don't know about Slytherin's house rules." Mr. Diary was even more depressed.

"You can write it yourself." Anita actually knows part of the Slytherin family rules, but the diary master doesn't need to know this. "Although there are only two members of the Riddle family, you, as the head of the house, write a book. Is it a good idea to give family rules to future generations?"

"Three people." Mr. Diary emphasized.

"You're right, I should write a book of the Riddle family's family rules." The diary-lord immediately went back to the diary to write the family rules.

Anita smiled smugly, she still has a bit of use in her head.

On the other side, Severus came to the principal's office. After a while of silence, Dumbledore asked, "Why does Anita speak Parseltongue?"

Severus didn't answer, but asked instead, "Why does Potter speak Parseltongue?"

There was another silence, and Severus and Dumbledore looked at each other, and there was a faint tension of confrontation in the atmosphere.

In the end, it was Dumbledore who broke the silence, "To be honest, I'm also surprised that Harry can speak Parseltongue. I'm pretty sure the Potters never married the Gaunts. However, I suspect—it's just My guess—but if I'm not mistaken, Voldemort transferred some of his powers to Harry when he tried to kill him that night."

"Is it possible?" Severus asked in disbelief. "Why would Voldemort do that?"

"He probably didn't mean it, but it's clear that the development of the matter exceeded his expectations. Of course, this is just my guess, and no one knows what happened that night." Dumbledore changed his voice and asked, "So, Anita is not your daughter?"

Although it was a question sentence, Dumbledore's tone was very certain.

"Anita is my daughter." Severus' tone was equally affirmative.

"My fault." Dumbledore changed his words graciously. "It should be said that Anita is not your biological daughter. The Gaunt family has always married within the family in pursuit of pure blood. It is impossible for the Prince family to have such a marriage. Lytrin's blood. So the only possibility, Anita is Voldemort's daughter?"

"Anita is of Voldemort's blood, but she is only my daughter," Severus said.

"It's hard to imagine that a person like Voldemort who pursues immortality will leave descendants." Dumbledore sighed.

Severus didn't speak.

Dumbledore thought of something, squinted his eyes, and asked Severus, "Do you think, Chamber of Secrets, is it Anita...?"

"Impossible." Severus denied, "I know Anita, she wouldn't do such a thing."

Dumbledore asked, "Does Anita know her parentage?"

"She always knew."

"Always?" Dumbledore rarely showed shock, "But she told me about the Horcrux?"

"So, I believe Anita will not do anything against Hogwarts."

Dumbledore pondered for a while, then nodded, and said to Severus, "It's better to keep Anita's life a secret for the time being. There are too many people out there who don't want Anita to exist and want Anita to exist too much."

Severus nodded, "I will."

It was late when Anita returned to the dormitory, and the common room was almost empty.Hardly, because there was another person sitting on the sofa, apparently waiting for Anita.

"Draco? Are you still asleep?"

"You never told me you were a Parseltongue," Draco said.

"Uh, my Parseltongue saved you, so you're welcome?"

Draco rolled his eyes, "Although I wouldn't be hurt by a snake, thank you for saving me."

"You're welcome, I'll go to bed first if it's okay, good night." Anita wanted to run away.

"Wait. Why do you speak Parseltongue?"

"Draco, Parseltongue is also a language. I happen to have a talent for languages, and if you want to learn, I can teach you too. Seriously, I'm so sleepy, I'm sleepy, let's talk tomorrow. ’ Anita pretended to yawn.

"Anita Prince!" Draco didn't like Anita's obvious perfunctory attitude, "We all know that Salazar Slytherin is a Parseltongue. So, you are S Is Lytherin's heir right? Thinking about it now, you just said that you didn't open the secret room that day, but you never denied that you are the heir of Slytherin."

"What about Potter? Potter can also speak Parseltongue, so how do you explain it? Is Potter also the heir of Slytherin?"

"I don't give a damn who Potter is!" Draco said. "All I care about is you. Anita, I always thought I knew you as well as you knew me, but I suddenly realized that you were hiding I have too many things going on, and you've been acting weird lately."

"Draco, it's not that I won't tell you, it's just that this matter involves a lot of trouble." Anita scratched her hair in a state of distraught. A lot of pressure.

"We're friends, aren't we? If you still trust me, please let me help you." The lights in the common room were dim, and Anita couldn't see Draco's expression clearly, but his voice was sincere.

"Of course I trust you, but you are not only my friend, you are also a Malfoy, I don't want to..."

"Wait, because I'm a Malfoy, do you think I'm going to put Malfoy's interests first and give up friends? I can't believe you always thought that?" Draco stood up abruptly. Get up, and at the same time the flame in the fireplace exploded, Anita clearly saw Draco's face was unusually pale.

"In this case, good night, Anita." Draco said and returned to the dormitory without looking back.

Anita opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything in the end, watching Draco's back just disappear behind the door, as if she would never look back.All the pressure exploded in an instant, almost crushing her.Anita couldn't help but knelt down and cried bitterly.

After the diary master sensed that Anita was crying and floated out in a hurry, he heard Anita choked up and said, "It's not like this... I just... don't want you to... embarrass me."
