The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 599
Before the duel club ended, Lee Jordan failed to fulfill his wish to hang Lockhart.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor seemed to have seen through Lee Jordan's sinister intentions. Every time he asked for guidance, he would be ignored by Lockhart pretending not to hear.

Lee Jordan complained a lot about it on the way back to the Gryffindor common room, but no one wanted to listen to him.Everyone was discussing that Harry Potter was a Parseltongue, and even when they returned to the lounge, they would first look around for Harry Potter.

"Harry Potter is really not the heir of Slytherin?"

Lee Jordan, who had just sat down, chattered about what happened at the Dueling Club.

No way, Parseltongue is one of the symbols of Slytherin. It's not surprising that everyone has this idea.

"Shut up!"

Fred shoves the biscuit into Lee Jordan's mouth, trying to silence him.

"Everyone is very curious."

Lee Jordan took a bite of the biscuit and muttered indistinctly.

The next moment, the guy turned into a canary.

"Damn canary biscuits again." Lee Jordan couldn't help complaining: "Don't give me that kind of thing again."

"What do you think?" George threw the question directly to Albert.

"The heir of Slytherin should be a Parseltongue." Albert calmly analyzed while drinking the hot cocoa in his cup: "The incident about Harry Potter gave me an inspiration."

"What inspiration?" The three asked in unison.

"The symbol of Slytherin is a snake. Things related to the heirs of Slytherin are very likely to be related to snakes. Parseltongue is one of them. Maybe you need to use Parseltongue to open the Chamber of Secrets. In the Chamber of Secrets The monsters are probably also related to snakes, and there are not many monsters related to snakes."

"You make a lot of sense." Fred nodded and said, as expected of Albert, his brain is good.

"It feels one step closer to the truth of the matter." Lee Jordan gave Albert a thumbs up.

"Do you have any suspects?" George asked suddenly.

"Well, there is indeed a target of suspicion." Albert nodded and admitted, "However, if you can't find the secret room, even if you have a target of suspicion, it's useless."

"What is it?"

All three were curious about this.

"A terrifying monster called a basilisk." Albert pointed to a book on the bedside table. "The basilisk is dangerous, but the heir of Slytherin should be able to control the basilisk with a Parseltongue."

"My God!"

The three of them turned to the page with the bookmark and couldn't help but exclaim.

"I know what you guys want to say, but..." Albert made a booing gesture, "Remember, don't talk nonsense about this matter, the principal and professors should already be looking into this matter, and now Harry Potter The suspicion is indeed not small, but I still think it should not be him."

"Moreover, as long as the petrified students return to normal, they will be able to testify against the culprit." After drinking the hot cocoa, Albert soaked his feet in hot water, reapplied the ointment, wrapped a bandage, and went to bed.

However, several of his roommates are destined to suffer from insomnia tonight.

Of course they believed in Albert's judgment, that is, after knowing that there was a basilisk hidden in the castle, they felt an inexplicable uneasiness in their hearts.

Several people gathered together and whispered for a long time, and finally remembered that the heir of Slytherin seemed to only attack Muggle wizards, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

All three are pure-blood wizards. Albert, who was born in a Muggle family, is obviously in a more dangerous situation than them. He can be so calm now, what is he afraid of?
Then, unable to sleep, they started discussing again, whether to raise a rooster in the dormitory for Albert's safety or not.

What they didn't know was that Albert had already let the house-elf raise several roosters.

……

Ever since Harry Potter exposed himself as Parseltongue at the Dueling Club, his reputation has taken a turn for the worse.

No way, the Parseltongues in history were too notorious, and everyone almost instinctively avoided him, as if Harry was carrying some terrible deadly bacteria, or would open his fangs and spit out venom when he spoke.

"What happened to your feet?" Hermione noticed that Albert was walking in a strange way.

"I was trampled on." Albert said casually, then changed the subject: "Is Harry Potter really a Parseltongue?"

Hermione didn't really want to talk about this topic here, and they both noticed that other people around them were listening to the conversation with their ears pricked up.

"I'm not doubting that Harry is the heir of Slytherin." Albert said to Hermione, "I just suspect that only Parseltongue can open the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin."

Ron, who was playing wizard chess next to him, couldn't help but secretly slandered: Aren't you just suspecting that Harry is the heir of Slytherin?

"You probably didn't understand what I meant." Albert looked at Hermione, who was stunned, and reminded, "Why didn't anyone find Slytherin's secret room before?"

Before Hermione could answer, Albert continued, "Because they are not Parseltongue, they can't find the Chamber of Secrets, but Harry Potter is different, he might be able to find the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin, and use the Parsel Cavity to open the Chamber of Secrets."

Both Hermione and Ron stared blankly at Albert, unable to recover from the meaning of Albert's words for a moment.

"However, if you find the secret room, don't enter without authorization. You must ask the professors for help." Before turning to leave, Albert added, "I know you don't plan to go back during the Christmas holiday."

"What does he mean?"

Ron asked after using knights to checkmate Hermione's king.

"He should mean that Parseltongue is the key to unlocking the Chamber of Secrets." Hermione thought for a while and said, "Maybe, we should do something."

In fact, Hermione had already guessed, but she didn't expect that Harry would be a Parseltongue.

"What do you mean?"

"Try to find the location of the chamber of secrets." Hermione said in a low voice, "This is probably the hint Albert gave us just now!"

"But, do you know the location of the secret room?" Ron asked angrily.

Hogwarts castle is not small, I don't know how to find the year of the monkey, and there is a terrible monster hidden in the secret room.

To be honest, Ron didn't want to provoke the monster in the secret room at all, it was not a terrifying existence that they could fight against.

Not long after, Harry came back, but he looked grumpy.

He had just had a big fight with Justin Finch, who thought he ordered the snake to attack him at the Dueling Club.

"It's pointless for you to argue with him." Hermione said after hearing Harry's complaint: "Justin Fenry has already determined that you are the heir of Slytherin, and no matter how you explain it, you can't change him." Views will only make both sides more unhappy."

"But……"

"Don't waste your saliva," Hermione reassured. "When the truth comes out, you can ask Justin Fenrieri to apologize to you. If he has the courage to apologize to you."

"That's not like what you would say!" Ron was a little surprised by Hermione's words.

"I learned from Albert, he would never argue with me about Professor Lockhart." Hermione's expression was very strange, "Every time I talk about Lockhart with Albert, after The latter just smiled and never expressed their opinions.

Hermione actually knew that Albert believed that the contents of Lockhart's book were all fabricated, not Lockhart's personal experience.

He himself is not as great as in the books.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, Hermione's intuition told Hermione that Albert's guess was very likely to be right, especially after seeing Lockhart's poor performance at the Dueling Club.

"I think Albert is pretty sensible," said Ron dryly. Both he and Harry knew that Hermione admired Lockhart, and there had been a couple of bad times because of the guy.

"We'd better see if we can get useful information from Malfoy first, and if not try to find the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets." Harry didn't like the method of using Parseltongue to find the Chamber of Secrets. Now that he's looking around for the Chamber of Secrets, things might get even worse.
