Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Chapter 55 Parseltongue

Then Johanna came over with Harry and the others.

Johanna glanced at the two house elves beside Lu Ke, and then laughed: "Your arithmetic fails, Lu Ke, there are four second-year students here, and there are five people responsible for protecting them. "

Lu Ke smiled and shook his head: "I am the one being protected."

Hagrid sighed: "The sooner the better, let's divide into two teams."

Johanna sighed: "How to divide it?"

Hagrid nodded without hesitation: "Lu Ke and I are on a team, and you can choose the rest."

Johanna nodded and walked to Lu Ke.

Then two house elves walked up to Hagrid.

Hagrid was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Lu Ke smiled and shook his head: "They like you more, Hagrid."

Hagrid smiled sheepishly: "Is that so?"

Lu Ke nodded: "Of course."

But in fact, only Lu Ke and the two house elves knew why.

Hermione hesitated and walked over to Johanna, then Harry walked over to Hagrid.

This was to look out for his friends, and for some reason, Harry felt like he should support Hagrid now.

Then Malfoy hesitated and walked to Lu Ke.

So in the end, Ron wisely walked over to Harry.

He also smiled at Lu Ke: "Sorry, I just want to see what the house elf is capable of."

Lu Ke smiled, and then nodded together with Hagrid: "Then let's go."

On the way to the Forbidden Forest, Lu Ke and Hagrid discussed the meeting place and time. Although it was not long before lunch time, they still had time to do a rough search.

And if you encounter horse people, you can ask them for help without hesitation. Lu Ke will be responsible for the subsequent explanation.

They separated at the edge of the Forbidden Forest and walked deeper into the forest.

"So what do you hope we'll find?"

Johanna asked casually as she walked.

Lu Ke sighed: "Any relevant clues."

Johanna nodded: "You didn't say anything just now, do it again."

Lu Ke smiled and shook his head: "The rune snake is a large venomous snake. Although their life span is usually very short, as long as they are alive, like all large predators, they must hunt and eat a lot. Let's go Look for any traces of their prey. The most common ones are two rows of blood stains at the same time, which are the most obvious clues.”

Johanna shook her head: "Three heads, two rows of blood stains?"

Lu Ke nodded: "The middle head of the rune snake is a sleepwalker. The parselmouth wizards in the past have talked with them and confirmed this. The sleepwalker will never stop sleepwalking unless it bites the left head together. When the right side of the head dies, this is also the most common cause of death for rune snakes.”

Hermione looked obviously scared: "Is that suicide?"

Johanna smiled and nodded: "Yes, but you don't have to be afraid, because as long as I am around, nothing that can think can commit suicide."

Hermione was still a little intimidated, and she moved visibly closer to Johanna, even though they were already very close.

Malfoy looked at the two girls, his face visibly red.

Johanna is the kind of girl who gets more and more beautiful after getting to know her, and Hermione, for some reason, has become a little beauty now, at least she is completely different from when she was in first grade.

Lu Ke was not surprised because he knew that Johanna could make anyone look good at will.

"Did you just say, Parseltongue?"

Lu Ke nodded.

Johanna nodded as she walked: "This is an interesting possibility."

Lu Ke turned around and looked around.

This is a hillside. According to the plan, they should turn around.

"You mean, Harry?"

Johanna nodded: "Parseltongue, like all wizards who can hear strange sounds, they are born freaks and can understand snakes' speech. This is a very big category, and it also includes some magical things." Animals, if Harry has Parseltongue, that’s a pretty good talent.”

Lu Ke nodded: "Maybe, it's just possible, we can't be sure yet."

They walked through the Forbidden Forest together. This time they didn't encounter any centaurs, and arrived at the agreed place at the appointed time.

But Lu Ke discovered that Hagrid and the others did not show up.

This is different from what was promised.

Before departure, Lu Ke made an agreement that the information transmission between the two teams would be handed over to the house elves. They could move freely within Hogwarts, which was more convenient than Apparition.

But this time Hagrid and the others didn't show up on time, not even the house elves.

Lu Ke instantly had a bad premonition.

He was hesitating whether to go to Hagrid or the others.

Then just after Lu Ke took out the Ravenclaw map, he discovered that there was no danger around Hagrid and the others, and they were already approaching here.

Lu Ke breathed a sigh of relief, and after waiting for a few minutes, Hagrid and three others appeared.

They all looked excited.

"what happened?"

Lu Ke was a little surprised, this was different from what he imagined.

If they were in trouble, they shouldn't have such a look of surprise and excitement.

"Guess what we ran into?"

Hagrid smiled.

Lu Ke looked incredulous: "Rune snake?"

Hagrid nodded excitedly.

Harry couldn't help but say: "I have never seen such a big snake, with that pattern... and three heads. They are really the most interesting things I have ever seen..."

Lu Ke shook his head: "No, few people find rune snakes interesting..."

Harry smiled: "But it's really interesting when it talks."

Lu Ke fell into silence.

Johanna looked at Lu Ke tacitly.

"Harry, what you just meant was that...you heard the rune snake talking?"

Harry nodded silently. Looking at the expressions of Lu Ke and Johanna, this seemed to be a very important matter.

Ron also nodded: "Yes, I think Harry...is a Parseltongue."

Several people fell into silence.

Harry looked at the expressions of several people blankly: "What does that mean?"

Hermione also looked at Johanna curiously: "You just said that Parselmouth can understand snakes, why do you have such an expression?"

Johanna hesitated for a moment, then spoke: "Because there are two very famous Parseltongues, Salazar Slytherin, and... You-Know-Who."

Harry looked surprised for a moment.
