Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 56 Whispers
Learning is an addictive thing, especially when you really have fun.

That's the case with Parseltongue.

It's simple and simple, it only has five sounds: ha, si, ci, he, and ka.But it is also difficult to say, the length and severity of each sound will have different meanings.

For example, ha~he~si~si~~ means to move forward, ha~he~si~si~ means to stop, the difference is only that the ending is a little shorter.

In order to learn the snake language, Ike deliberately caught a two-slap-long snake from the Forbidden Forest. After several times of training with the stun spell, it became very obedient.When it is not called, it will wrap around Ike's arm and remain motionless. It is cool and comfortable, and Ike named it Xiaohei.

With an extra pet on him, Jimmy the Bowtruckle who had been hiding in his clothes was the one who had the biggest complaints. He had been making a fuss for several days, but in the end he succumbed to Ike’s ground turtle attack and got along with Xiaoheijingshui without violating the river water. It is also considered harmonious.

Of course, learning Ike's snake language avoids people.Because of his cheap teacher Voldemort, Parseltongue is basically equated with evil in the wizarding world. For now, Ike doesn't want to go to Azkaban to study.

The patron saint curse has never reached the level of Lv1.

In this way, in addition to the normal courses, Ike has been secretly learning the language of the snake and the language of the mermaid. For this reason, he also skipped the classic drama of the lion-snake battle.

The results are also remarkable, he has been able to have some simple conversations with Xiao Hei.As for mermaid language, since I haven't gone to Black Lake to find mermaids recently, I don't know how well I have learned it yet.

Ike's self-esteem is still very good.

Fast forward to the end of October.As Halloween approached, Ike also raised his vigilance, and no longer wandered alone in the castle. He went in and out either with Stuart and others, or just behind other Ravenclaw wizards.

Because, the chamber of secrets has been opened!
And the basilisk may have already set its sights on him.

It was mid-October, and Ike had just left the restricted area. When he was walking in the corridor, Xiao Hei suddenly wrapped his arms around Ike, trembling as if he was frightened, and Jimmy also grabbed it with his small claws. His neck scratched again and again.

He took out the speculum, and the red light flashed on it.

Ike lowered his head subconsciously, tapped his ear with his wand, and listened carefully to the movement around him.

After a while, I heard a whisper of ~heh~ka~time~time~~ coming from the wall.The tone is very drawn out, and it is getting closer and closer to him.

"This is... killing!"

Ike ran away, and the voice followed Ike in the wall, keeping a parallel distance until Ike ran to the eighth floor of the castle.

Putting on the Disillusionment Charm again, Ike stood outside the door of the Ravenclaw common room and waited for a while before slipping in.

That is, from that day on, he stopped all night tour activities.

Now dealing with the basilisk, Ike is not completely sure, and it does not fit his plan.

At least for now, it's not time for the basilisk to die.

On Halloween, the castle is filled with various decorations as in previous years.As an outstanding student of Ravenclaw, Ike was drawn by Professor Flitwick to help decorate the castle with his excellent floating spell.A large number of pumpkins that Hagrid catalyzed with the Expansion Curse were carved into lanterns and hung on the ceiling of the auditorium. A magical candle was lit inside, creating a very scary atmosphere.Thousands of bats hovered around the jack-o-lantern, dropping bombs on the little wizard below from time to time.

Of course, these bombs would not really fall into the food or the little wizard. The magic from Professor McGonagall kept these bombs in the air well, and then they were disposed of by the house elves who didn't know where they were.

Dumbledore invited a skeleton dance troupe to perform a dance that seemed very stiff to Ike for the teachers and students at the dinner.This is the first time Ike has seen moving skeletons. They just look like skeletons, with only two blue flames burning in the eye sockets.Conscious, can hear what people say, but can only communicate with people by writing on special parchment.

As for the dance, to be honest, it is very similar to the mechanical dance that Ike has seen before, and it is still the kind of dance that is very bad. Accompanied by the sound of creaking, Ike didn't think it was so good, but Terry saw it. Have relish.

Ike, who had eaten the pile of cockroaches for a long time, temporarily forgot the threat of the basilisk. As far as the current situation is concerned, at least he is not in danger tonight.

During the dinner, Ike glanced at the long table of Gryffindor, but Hermione, Harry, Ron and Ginny were not there.The Audio-Technica should be attending the Deathday Dinner in the basement classroom, and Ginny should be going to open the secret room to release the basilisk.

If everything is normal, Mrs. Norris should be petrified tonight.

As long as he is not human, Ike feels that his conscience will not hurt.

The dinner was very lively, until the end, the little wizards were still discussing the skeleton dance troupe.Ike mingled behind Stuart and walked out along the crowd.

After walking in the corridor for a while, and before going up the stairs, a sudden exclamation came from the front of the crowd, causing the little wizards to quicken their pace.Ike, who was mixed with the crowd, quickly arrived at the scene of the incident.

When he saw the scene in front of him clearly, Aike broke out in a cold sweat.

"My God! What's going on!" exclaimed Terry. "Is that Sir Nicholas of Gryffindor?"

At the corner of the corridor, Sir Nicholas floated motionless in the air, with a frightened expression on his face.Mrs. Norris fell to the ground stiffly, her tail stood up high, and the hair on her body stood up.

Harry, Hermione, and Ron stood next to Mrs. Norris at a loss, with blank faces.

The flickering torches on the wall illuminated the two bloody words above:

Chamber of Secrets has been opened
Be an enemy of the successor, be vigilant!

"It's not right, it's not right, how could Nearly Headless Nick be petrified at this time?" Ike was shocked, muttering from the bottom of his heart, goosebumps all over his body.

"Are they... are they dead?" Stuart was startled by this weird scene, and whispered.

"I don't know, maybe." Terry also replied in a daze.

There were more and more people, and the three of Harry, Sir Nicholas, and Mrs. Norris were surrounded in the middle.After seeing the two lines of writing on the wall, almost everyone cast wary eyes on the three of Harry.

"No... we didn't do it! They were already like this when we came!" Ron yelled, but made the crowd take a step back.

"Be an enemy of the heir, be careful!" A little wizard with pale blond hair stood up, pointed at the three people in the field and said sharply, "You will be next, Ni..."

Before he finished speaking, Malfoy was covered by Clark and Goyle, and Marcus pulled his arm.Looking in the direction of Goyle's finger, Malfoy saw Ike who was frowning and looked at him coldly, and couldn't help being afraid for a while.

Just as Ike was about to have a seizure, he suddenly heard a very soft voice coming from the wall.

Ha~si~si~time~ka~time~si~
Snake language: The next one is you!
　It's Friday, tomorrow will start to make up~
