Chapter 151 Christmas
After Neville neighed like a snake, the entire auditorium fell silent.
Even Snape stood there in a daze, unable to react for a moment.
Ted saw that something wasn't right, he pulled Neville and walked out the door, and the friends behind him hurriedly followed.
The eyes of the others followed the footsteps of the group of six until they went out of the door and looked back.
"What's the matter? What happened?" Neville asked without knowing why.
"You know Parseltongue? You didn't say it earlier? Why didn't you say it earlier?" Harry asked in surprise.
"Parseltongue?! I can't!" Neville was startled, his lips trembling. I really can't~
"But you talked to the snake just now." Hermione said worriedly.
Ron's expression was also very strange: "Kenaway saved Ginny."
Neville's face turned green: "It's the first time I've talked to a snake, I didn't know I was a Parseltongue!"
Jerry was confused and asked quickly, "What is Parseltongue?!"
Harry explained what Parseltongue is—the ability to communicate with snakes and even command them.
"Legend, Slytherin is a Parseltongue." Harry said, looking at Neville.
"Neville, are you the heir to the Chamber of Secrets?" Jerry's eyes widened and his ears pricked up.
"Me? No! No, I'm not!" Neville categorically denied.
Ted stopped them from thinking wildly, and said, "Stop thinking about it, you share a dormitory, don't you know who Neville is?"
Can Neville be the heir of Slytherin? he can't~
So, in the "S" mark on the forehead, just like the original book, a piece of Voldemort's soul resides. He brings the Parseltongue ability.
This is a question, related to the grand plan to completely get rid of Voldemort in the future...
Neville is terrified now, he can't explain why he has the ability of Parseltongue, let alone accept the fact that he may be the heir of Slytherin.
Ted had to comfort him: "Don't worry, Neville, it is not necessarily the heir of Slytherin who can speak Parseltongue. Paracelsus discovered Parseltongue in the 16th century, although it was known in the classical era and the Middle Ages. Someone has already used it. And like the vile Helbo can speak Parseltongue..."
When Neville heard this, he became even more anxious: "So, Parseltongue is the language of dark wizards?! I..."
"Don't be too nervous, it's just a special magic language. It's just that the famous wizards who used to have didn't do good things, so they were misunderstood."
Ted can still say that?
It really seems that only dark wizards know this stuff. I wonder if I can learn it by myself?
Harry also comforted him: "Not necessarily, I read the records of the Black family, the Gaunt family that has disappeared before has some people who can speak Parseltongue. They are said to be descendants of Slytherin, maybe the generation of the Longbottom family followed them. With intermarriage, you inherited this ability."
Neville was about to cry: "So, I am more sure that I am the heir of Slytherin?!"
…
This matter fermented quite quickly.
The Dueling Club has attracted much attention. First, Lockhart made a fool of himself, then Ted won more than ten consecutive victories, and then Neville's Parseltongue.
Parseltongue~
Almost all young wizards from wizard families know what this means.
So, the boy who survived the catastrophe, the heir of the Longbottom family, turned out to be a Parseltongue? !
Besides, he might be the heir of Slytherin? !
He released the monster that attacked the Ravenclaw dwarf girl in the secret chamber that was opened two days ago?
That night when the three of Neville returned to the dormitory, the little black Dean and the blasting ghost Seamus were both huddled in the bed like quails, so they didn't dare to speak out.
Neville had just said a word to them, and the two of them got into the same bed in fright, shivering... Um, wait, something is wrong, right? !
In short, the current opinion of the students in the school towards Neville is completely changed.
From the boy who survived, to an ordinary and clumsy student, to the evil heir to the secret room~
It can be called a big wind and a big wave!
And Ted checked a card he had just completed the task at night.
【Blueprint: Shadow Goggles (Green)】
Prop card
Use: Learn to make this magical engineering goggle.
Use times 1/1.
Ted chose to use it, and the card in his mind suddenly ignited and disappeared, just like other disposable cards.
After using it, Ted has some more knowledge in his mind, which is about making magic goggles.
Ted has seen this word in books published by the library in recent years.
The word "magic guide" appeared together with the convergence of the sky and stars, to be more specific, it appeared together with the dwarf clan.
Most dwarves are like wizards, with magical powers in their bodies since childhood. It is a natural magical race.
Although they also have their own unique spellcasting skills, most of them tend to be fancy illusions and the like.
They use magic more to make magic tools.
Ted had seen the first scene where the dwarf girl Clara was petrified before. She was wearing a pair of weird glasses, but from the scene, the glasses had been severely damaged, and the lenses had already melted Meaning.
Now the magic engineering goggles are somewhat biased towards alchemy wonders + magic tools.
As for the effect, according to the knowledge in the mind, it can greatly increase the resistance to abnormal magic effects.
Compared with the glasses I made randomly, it is much more "scientific".
Do a try, it's urgent now, don't delay.
That night, Ted tried to make it.
I just thought about it until the second half of the night, but it didn't work.
First, there is the issue of materials.
Obsidian is ground into thin lenses, which requires very fine magic manipulation. And then enchant it to make it transparent.
Then alchemy is used to make magic bronze glasses frames, and the "magic power transmission line" is inlaid with silver wire, which is a bit like making a circuit. This should be called a magic road.
The best situation is to inlay the brushed silver on the inside of the bronze spectacle frame, but if the technology is not up to standard, it can also be inlaid on the surface.
Then there is a pair of opals, which are only produced in Sri Lanka, and a pair that is only the size of a grain of rice costs 8 Galleons.
After the opal is inlaid in the center of the silver magic road, it is necessary to apply the shadow oil for the final treatment.
This oil of shadow also needs to be brewed with additional potions, and the materials required are not too expensive, but the materials are relatively rare, and you have to spend time entrusting Mr. Ziggs to buy them in Diagon Alley or even Knockturn Alley.
In short, this thing cannot be done in three or two days.
…
When Ted returned to the dormitory exhausted in the middle of the night, it was already snowing outside the window. By the time it was almost dawn, it had turned into a violent snowstorm.
As a result, the last herbal class of the semester has been cancelled.
The next day, the students really knew that Neville could speak Parseltongue.
When eating in the morning, there were six of Ted and the others, and they almost didn't directly occupy a long table.
Except for the twins who were eating not far away and winking at everyone, Peggy came over to pat her little brother and comforted Neville, and Ginny brought Luna over to thank them, everyone else wanted to hide away.
Hey, stupid.
Ted still remembers the scene when the little lions of Gryffindor cheered "We have the boy who lived". But now they all have doubts and vigilance written on their faces, which is embarrassing.
In the afternoon, the twins came to play a prank, clearing the way for Neville and the others in the corridor, shouting: "Get out of the way for the heir of Slytherin, he will have afternoon tea with the evil servant in his chamber~ "
Harry almost gave them both a big neck and put them down directly.
By dinner time, even Peeves knew about it.
Came here deliberately to laugh at Neville. He floated in the sky, with a smile that didn't deserve to be beaten, and sang in a shrill voice: "Longbottom is the heir, open the door of the secret room~ Monsters are coming to clear the field, everyone run~"
Don't tell me, some people really believed it, especially the first-year freshmen, they all ran away with a bang.
Angrily Harley yelled on the spot: "If you have the ability, you wait!"
Peeves still doesn’t know if he’s dead or alive: “Pote little devil, what can you do to me~”
After a while, Harley came back in a hurry, and she even brought the "Demon Whip" made by Ted.
Without waiting for Peeves to move, Harry flicked the willow whip—"Plop~" Ron fell to the ground.
Harry hadn't practiced this soft weapon before, so he wrapped his hands around Ron's feet and dragged him to the ground.
Ron's feet were bound like a big buttock, and he was stunned: What's the situation? Someone hurt me!
Harry quickly apologized: "Oh, Ron, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Peeves saw the thing being taken out, and threw himself into the wall and ran away with a loud "Aww".
If Ron hadn't stood up for him, at least he would have received a whip.
Fortunately, this is a "ghost-beating whip" made with the ideas of school students. It was aimed at Peeves and did no harm to others. Otherwise, Ron would have cried for half an hour.
The 21st semester is over, and the Christmas holiday begins.
The group of six stayed in the school. Last year, the Weasleys went to Romania to visit their second son Charlie, who had just graduated from training dragons in Romania. This year, they went to Egypt to visit their elder son Bill, who worked as a spellbreaker in Gringotts, Egypt.
So the five Weasley siblings who are still in school stay in school.
Ted wondered if the couple were going on a Christmas honeymoon trip?
