They’d merely stumbled upon it by accident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I should’ve explained earlier: on Halloween, Harry heard a strange voice…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hermione recounted it slowly, remembering that shattering night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the daytime bustle of Hogwarts, someone had carried a sword into the night and confronted the Basilisk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, her spine chilled—Voldemort had always wanted the Basilisk to attack them, but he clearly overlooked a wizard whose combat power was terrifyingly immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pale faces were no longer just Harry’s; Justin and Neville sat with him, all three hunched low, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dueling Club had ended; a rumor stirred again in the Great Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—The Chamber, and the Heir of Slytherin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wizard Sean passed through the corridor, he still heard Hufflepuffs talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their heads leaned close, discussing a topic intriguing enough to draw them together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, Ernie, you’re sure it’s Potter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A girl with a golden ponytail asked eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hannah,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the large boy said seriously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“he speaks Parseltongue. Everyone knows that’s a Dark wizard’s mark. Have you ever heard of a good wizard who talks to snakes? They even called Slytherin himself the Snake-Talker.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Harry always seems so friendly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hannah hesitated,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And besides—he’s the one who made Voldemort disappear. He can’t be that evil, can he?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernie lowered his voice mysteriously; the Hufflepuffs leaned in closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No one knows how he survived Voldemort’s attack back then. I mean, he was just a baby when it happened. He should’ve been blown to pieces. Only a Dark wizard with truly boundless power could survive such a curse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice dropped even lower, nearly a whisper:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s probably why Voldemort wanted him dead—he didn’t want another ‘Dark Lord’ rising to challenge him. I don’t know what other powers Potter’s hiding from us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On spreading rumors, Wizard Sean believed wizards had a certain innate talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once the truth came out, the rumors would die down—nothing to worry about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry’s Parseltongue reminded him of the Basilisk, so he headed toward the Headmaster’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same moment he left, a forlorn figure passed by—Harry wandered dazedly, unaware how he’d returned to the Gryffindor common room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, the Headmaster’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean finally saw Headmaster Dumbledore seated at his desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps we need a new teacher for Defense Against the Dark Arts. Goodness, how quickly they burn out, don’t they?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Headmaster Dumbledore smiled and winked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Professor Lockhart…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean hadn’t expected it to be this serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, not that. The next one. Frauds always get exposed; falsehoods can’t withstand scrutiny.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Headmaster Dumbledore smiled calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze seemed to pierce through the room, resting on a young witch flipping through Lockhart’s books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sincerity, Mr. Green, is always the thing people lose easiest. I’m glad you’ve grasped that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dumbledore spoke with implication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean stared into his eyes; Dumbledore’s smile faltered slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Headmaster Dumbledore, you’ve been…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Wizard Sean could finish, the Headmaster changed the subject:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before we discuss anything, we must wait…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fingers twitched; Wizard Sean realized he and the Headmaster had become invisible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up—a figure peered curiously at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the room empty, he slipped around the desk, picked up the hat on the shelf, and slowly placed it on his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean turned back; Headmaster Dumbledore watched kindly, one finger pressed to his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hat, too large, slipped down and covered Harry’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, yes, it’s me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry mumbled softly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh—sorry to disturb you—I just wanted to ask—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean knew he was speaking to the Sorting Hat. The next moment, Harry grabbed the hat’s top and yanked it off in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hat hung limp in his hand, dirty and faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry placed it back on the shelf and said loudly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re wrong! I don’t belong in Slytherin! I could never belong there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hat didn’t move. Harry stared at it, stepped back, and left, troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His murmurs echoed in the silent office:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Parseltongue… cunning… determined… and some defiance of rules—nonsense!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after Harry left did Headmaster Dumbledore call Wizard Sean forward, smiling warmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have your answer now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Regardless, it never chose him. So though the soul in darkness may be guilty, the true sinner is the one who created the darkness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On a winter night, snow fell again over Hogwarts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Restoration Day (︶`)\u003C\u002Fp>",970,"2026-06-19T10:00:41.888Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","79e5d5aeea9843b0ec97e9050f0f6a4da46fc71414c7f5dcd7a1d9f838e269e9","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-333","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-331",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
