Parseltongue! The Isolated Harry!

(only 2 extra chapters today, the votes were quite low this time)

Before the duel began, Harry deliberately glanced towards the corner of the great hall.

That's where the girls and Lucas were practicing.

He couldn't figure out why Lucas was so popular with his classmates. Even his only admirer, they all went to find Lucas for advice and practice.

Harry knew very well how much Ginny adored him. After all, his good friend Ron mentioned it more than once to him.

During the summer vacation, Harry enjoyed the girl's adoring eyes, but now it seems that Ginny obviously admires Lucas more.

It has to be said that Harry's character is developing in a different direction compared to the original. Without Hermione there to keep him and Ron in line, and with Draco who's even more arrogant than Ron taking her place…

Harry stood on the stage and stared at Lucas' direction in a daze, he just didn't understand how he was inferior to the other boy.

Yes, his grades may be much worse than Lucas'.

But their level of Quidditch, the two should be almost the same. Lucas was able to win just because of his extremely fast broom.

Then there is strength, maybe he has something lacking.

But like Dumbledore said, he was the only one who could defeat Voldemort, and this is the key to Harry's self-confidence.

He was the Boy Who Lived, the one Voldemort would struggle with.

"Harry Potter, you have to be careful."

Angus' voice came from ahead and when Harry came back to his senses, he only saw a ray of light flying towards him.

"Everte Statum!"

The sound of the spell hadn't reached Harry's ears until now, but he had already flown several meters backwards.

He fell hard to the ground and heard the exclamations of those around him.

He also saw the questioning eyes of everyone and stood up angrily.

The wand pointed at Angus and he shouted, "Flipendo!"

They are friends after all, both Harry and Ron use the same spell.

The function of this spell is to make the opponent flip in mid-air as they are pushed away.

As for other effects? Sorry there's nothing else.

Selwyn, showing an annoyed expression when he landed, raised his wand and pointed to the stage: "Serpensortia!"

A black light flashed, and a three-meter-long cobra immediately appeared on the stage.

"Stand back, Potter!"

Professor Snape stepped forward, protecting Harry behind him, but just when he was about to use a spell to get rid of the vicious snake in front of him.

The arrogant flower peacock came out to show off again.

"Don't do anything, leave it to me!"

Lockhart drew his wand, glared at the viper, and cast the Soaring Charm.

"Alarte ascendare!"

The function of the soaring charm is to throw objects far away into the sky.

But Lockhart is a half-assed guy and didn't succeed in launching the poisonous snake very far.

Instead, the snake landed after just a moment in the air. Moreover, this throw also enraged the poisonous snake.

Seeing itself surrounded by humans, the cobra picked the nearest target and bared its fangs.

"Justin!"

Harry called out the boy's name out loud.

Justin is his new friend from Hufflepuff.

His friend was being targeted by a poisonous snake, so Harry couldn't ignore it.

Suddenly, he felt his feet slipping towards the poisonous snake.

Then he couldn't help but say to the snake, "Let him go!"

As soon as the words came out, the Cobra immediately looked back at Harry.

Immediately afterwards, the snake coiled into a lump under the eyes of everyone, and it no longer showed a desire to attack.

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, smiling and looking at his new friend. Unexpectedly, the other boy looked at him in horror.

"What trick do you think you're up to?"

After roaring angrily, Justin turned and ran out of the great hall. The sudden change made Harry unable to react for a while.

He saw people around staring at him and whispering to each other.

Some people's eyes were full of fear, he also saw the odd look in Snape's eyes.

Those eyes were full of disbelief and inquiry, and it was the first time Harry saw Snape with such a rich expression.

"Parseltongue!"

Lucas' voice rang out in the silent room.

Harry turned his head to look at the other person, not understanding what Parseltongue was.

Without waiting for him to ask, his wrist was held by Ron, and then he was led away from the great hall before he could ask anything.

When the two reached the empty corridor, Ron explained to Harry what Parseltongue is.

After listening for a long time, Harry understood one thing. For thousands of years, the only people who could speak Parseltongue were Salazar Slytherin and his descendants.

At this moment, he felt really confused, but it also reminded him of what the Sorting Hat had said to him last year.

The Sorting Hat had said back then that he could get everything he wanted in Slytherin.

Could it be that he is really a descendant of Slytherin?

The Dueling Club broke up in the end, since the students have no interest in continuing to play around.

The heir of Slytherin appeared, and the Boy Who Lived is a Parseltongue.

The news quickly spread throughout Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

When Harry returned to Gryffindor Tower, he discovered that everyone was looking at him in a different light.

Even Seamus Finnigan, who was in the same room as him.

This incident made poor Harry very distressed.

He had planned to speak to Dumbledore, but after asking around he learned that Dumbledore had been called to London.

This continued for two more days where Harry silently endured everyone gossiping and pointing fingers at him.

Until something happened that pushed Harry and Lucas into the focus of public opinion.

Even the lion cubs of Gryffindor Academy started isolating him after this.

Colin Creevey and Justin Finch-Fletchley were attacked and both of them were petrified.

Without Dumbledore in charge the little wizards felt like they were all in danger.

Even during the day, the students no longer wandered around the castle except for their classes.

Hogwarts was full of laughter and happiness in the past, but at this moment it seems to have lost all color.

Since learning that Colin Creevey was attacked, Ginny looked very restless.

She could be seen distracted all day, with her mind wandering somewhere else.

This made her big brothers very worried and Ron told Harry about the situation, hoping he could comfort his sister.

In Ron's mind, Ginny still adored his best friend, so he thought Harry's words might work.

But Harry couldn't care less at the moment, because both Colin and Justin are people who have close contacts with him.

Compared to another rumor, the students of the four houses are more convinced that Harry is the heir.

As for the other rumor, it actually has something to do with Peeves.

The chaotic poltergeist told everyone he met what he had heard from Myrtle.

Successfully let the students know that towards the end of last school year Lucas Grindelwald was imitating snakes in the ladies' bathroom.

Compared to Lucas possibly being the heir, everyone seemed more curious about what Lucas was doing in the ladies' bathroom.

Outside the castle, the snowflakes falling from the sky covered the terrace with a layer of white.

Harry and Ron stood on the edge of the terrace and looked at several students who were having a snowball fight in the courtyard.

"Harry, I'll go talk to Seamus and the others, they should be willing to play with you."

"No need, it's too late for that, they prefer to hide from me now."

Harry said dejectedly.

Just then, the Weasley twins and Lee Jordan walked by. Seeing Harry Potter, the twins said with a smile.

"Look, isn't this the heir of Slytherin? Oh evil wizard, Harry Potter."

"Get out!" Ron angrily chased them away.

Seeing the sad look in Harry's eyes, he quickly comforted: "Don't mind them, you should know that the two of them just like to joke, but they didn't mean it."

"I know, thank you, Ron!"

This thank you is sincere, because by this point, the only one who hadn't abandoned him was Ron.

Ron scratched his head sheepishly. Then, as if remembering something interesting, he hurriedly said to Harry.

"You don't know it, but now many people say that fellow Grindelwald is also the heir, because Myrtle heard him talk like a snake last year."

"Harry, maybe with Grindelwald, everyone's eyes will be taken away from you, so you won't be under so much pressure."

Harry let out a long breath after hearing this.

If so, it would be great, and the thought that Lucas might also have to suffer what he has endured.

Harry felt inexplicably much better!

At the same time, Lucas put a book about the Dark Arts back on the shelf in Rowena's library and returned to the dormitory by using a void rift.

He had just walked out the door when he saw all the year chiefs standing at the door.

"What are you doing here?"

"Chief, come with us!"

Payne Travers led Lucas down the path to the common room.

He just followed curiously, only to find that all the students of Slytherin were there.
