Chapter 559: Sin

Under pressure, Harry used Parseltongue, which everyone in the Hope Cottage knew.

The snake stopped moving at the sound of his "hissing."

Professor Sineipu stepped forward, waved his wand, and the snake turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.

Professor Sineipu looked at him with an inexplicable gaze, as if confirming something.

And he vaguely realized that the people around were whispering ominously.

Just then, he felt someone tugging at the back of his robe.

Jia Siting pulled him behind him, and those voices disappeared quite a bit.

"Let's go, Harry."

Jia Siting and Na Wei appeared following Jia Siting's gaze,

The two seemed somewhat worried.

"Did you forget? I told you, don't expose it. Even in the wizarding world, being able to speak those sounds that others can't understand won't be good news."

Luo En was a bit anxious.

"What did I say?"

Harry saw Jia Siting watching him leave, and also saw the bad expressions of his partners.

"You used Parseltongue again!"

Only after arriving at the empty Hope Cottage did Luo En say.

"But I'm not the heir of Slytherin, what does that have to do with anything!"

Harry said.

"Harry, others won't think so."

Xiang Hemin sighed.

"Alright, now, everyone in school will think you're his great-great-great-great-grandson or something..."

Luo En said.

Harry was stunned for a moment.

"I know Parseltongue, but the heir of Slytherin?"

Jia Siting frowned at this; he and Na Wei hadn't participated in the Chamber of Secrets operation.

"Jia Siting must have said nothing again, I knew it."

Xiang Hemin was somewhat helpless; she even suspected that even if Jia Siting went to duel the mysterious person alone one day, no one would know any news.

And the Basilisk was just something they happened to run into.

"I should have explained earlier, it's like this, on Halloween, Harry heard a strange sound..."

Xiang Hemin recounted, simultaneously remembering that shocking night.

Behind the bustle of Hogwarts during the day, someone was blocking the Basilisk with a sword in the middle of the night.

Until now, she still felt a chill down her spine; the mysterious person had always wanted the Basilisk to attack them, but he clearly ignored a young wizard with terrifying combat power.

Ten minutes later.

It wasn't just Harry who was pale here; Jia Siting and Na Wei sat with him, the three of them hanging their heads together, not knowing what they were thinking.

The Dueling Club class ended, and a rumor rose again in the Great Hall.

—The Chamber of Secrets, and the heir of Slytherin.

Jia Siting passed through the corridor and could still hear the Hufflepuffs talking about something.

Their heads were together, discussing a topic interesting enough.

"So, Ernie, can you be sure it's Potter?"

A girl with a golden ponytail asked eagerly.

"Hannah,"

The big boy said seriously,

"He is a Parseltongue. Everyone knows this is the mark of a dark wizard. Have you ever heard of any decent wizard who can talk to snakes? They call Slytherin himself a snake-speaker."

"But Harry always looks so friendly."

Hannah said hesitantly,

"Also, by the way, he was the one who made the mysterious person disappear back then. He can't be that bad, right?"

Ernie lowered his voice mysteriously, and the Hufflepuffs gathered closer.

"No one knows how he survived when he was attacked by the mysterious person back then. My point is, when that happened, he was still a baby. He should have been blown to pieces. Only a truly powerful dark wizard could escape such a spell."

His voice was even lower, almost a whisper, he said:

"That's probably why the mysterious person wanted to kill him; he didn't want another 'dark lord' to compete with him. I don't know what other powers Potter is hiding from everyone."

Reasonable and well-founded.

In terms of spreading rumors, Jia Siting believed that wizards all had a certain talent.

However, after the report came out, the rumors would stop, so there was nothing to worry about.

Harry's snake language made him think of the Basilisk again, so he walked toward the Headmaster's office.

And just as he left, a dejected figure also walked past here—Harry was dazed, having no idea how he had returned to the Gryffindor common room. ===== CHAPTER 560 =====
