Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 151 Christmas

After Neville hissed 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 was not right, so he pulled Neville out the door, and his friends followed him in tacit understanding.

The others followed the six-member group's footsteps until they walked out the door and were out of sight.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Neville asked, still confused.

"You can speak Parseltongue? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Harry asked in surprise.

"Parseltongue?! I can't do it!" Neville was so frightened that his lips trembled. I really can't do it~
"But you just talked to the snake," Hermione said worriedly.

Ron's expression was also very strange: "But Neville saved Ginny."

Neville's face turned green: "It's my first time talking to a snake, I didn't know I was a Parseltongue!"

Jerry was confused and asked quickly, "What is Parseltongue?!"

Harry explained what Parseltongue was - the ability to communicate with snakes and even command them.

"Legend has it that Slytherin is a Parseltongue." Harry looked at Neville and said.

"Neville, are you the heir to the Chamber of Secrets?" Jerry's eyes widened and his ears stood up.

"Me? No! No, I'm not!" Neville denied it flatly.

Ted stopped them from thinking too much and said, "Don't you know who Neville is, you guys are in the same dormitory?"

Can Neville be the heir of Slytherin? He can't~
So, the "S" mark on the forehead, just like in the original book, houses a fragment of Voldemort's soul. He brought the ability of Parseltongue.

This is a problem that concerns the grand plan of completely getting rid of Voldemort in the future...

Neville is now terrified. He has no way of explaining why he has the ability to speak Parseltongue, and he cannot accept the fact that he might be the heir of Slytherin.

Ted had to comfort him: "Don't worry, Neville, knowing Parseltongue doesn't necessarily mean you're the heir of Slytherin. Paracelsus discovered Parseltongue in the 16th century, although it was already used in classical times and the Middle Ages. And the despicable Herpo also knew Parseltongue..."

Neville became even more anxious after hearing this: "So, Parseltongue is the language of dark wizards?! I..."

"Don't be too nervous. It's just a special magical language. It's just that the famous wizards who once had it did not do good things, so it was misunderstood."

Can Ted say that?
It really seems like only dark wizards know this, I wonder if I can learn it by myself?
Harry also spoke to comfort her, "Not necessarily. I read the records of the Black family. Someone in the Gaunt family that has disappeared could speak Parseltongue. Legend has it that they are descendants of Slytherin. Maybe the Longbottom family intermarried with them, and you inherited this ability."

Neville was about to cry: "So, I am even more certain that I am the heir of Slytherin?!"

……

This matter fermented quite quickly.

The Dueling Club had always attracted a lot of attention. First, Lockhart made a fool of himself, then Ted won more than ten consecutive games, and then Neville's Parseltongue.

Parseltongue
Almost all young wizards from wizard families know what this means.

So, the Boy-Who-Lived, heir to the Longbottom family, is a Parseltongue?!

And, he could possibly be the heir of Slytherin?!

Was the monster that opened the Chamber of Secrets and attacked the Ravenclaw dwarf girl two days ago the one he released?

That night, Neville and the other two returned to the dormitory. The little black man Dean and the explosive genius Seamus huddled in their beds like quails, not daring to make a sound.

Neville had just said something to them, and they were so scared that they went straight into the same bed and started trembling... Um, wait, something's wrong? !

In short, the students' views on Neville have changed dramatically.

From the Boy Who Lived, to an ordinary and slightly clumsy student, to the evil heir to the Chamber of Secrets~
It's a storm!

At night, Ted checked a card he had just obtained after completing a mission.

[Blueprint: Shadow Goggles (Green)]

item card

Use: Learn to craft these magical engineering goggles.

Use times 1/1.
Ted chose to use it, and the card in his mind suddenly caught fire and disappeared, just like any other disposable card.

After using it, Ted gained some more knowledge in his mind about making magic goggles.

This is an engineering creation from the world of Azeroth, which involves a lot of alchemical knowledge and some strange magical knowledge!

Ted had seen the word in a book the library had published in recent years.

The word "magic" appeared with the conjunction of the stars, and more specifically, with the dwarfs.

Most dwarves, like wizards, have magical powers in their bodies since childhood. They are considered a race born with magical powers.

Although they also have their own unique spellcasting skills, most of them tend to be fancy illusions. They mostly use magic to make magic devices.

Ted had seen the first scene where the dwarf girl Clara was petrified. She was wearing a pair of strange glasses, but from the scene, the glasses had been severely damaged and the lenses seemed to have melted.

Now this pair of magic engineering goggles is more like an alchemical artifact + magic device.

As for the effect, according to the knowledge in my mind, it can greatly increase resistance to abnormal magical effects.

It is much more "scientific" than the glasses I made randomly.

Give it a try, the situation is urgent now, don't delay.

That evening, Ted tried to make it.

But I thought about it until the second half of the night and still couldn't succeed.

The first is the issue of materials.

Obsidian is ground into a thin lens, which requires very delicate magical manipulation. Then a spell is cast on it to make it transparent.

Then comes alchemy to make magic bronze glasses frames, using silver threads to inlay and arrange "magic conduction circuits", which is a bit like making circuits. This should be called a magic path.

The best case scenario is to inlay the brushed silver inside the bronze glasses frame, but if the technology is not up to standard, inlaying it on the surface is also acceptable.

Then there is a pair of cat's eyes, which are only produced in Sri Lanka. A pair of them, which are only the size of rice grains, cost 8 Galleons.

After inlaying the cat's eye stone in the center of the Silver Silk Demon Road, it is necessary to apply shadow oil for the final treatment.

This shadow oil also requires additional potion to be brewed. The materials required are not too expensive, but the materials are relatively rare, and you have to spend time asking Mr. Giggs to buy them in Diagon Alley or even Knockturn Alley.

In short, this thing cannot be made in a few days.

……

When Ted returned to his dorm tiredly in the middle of the night, it was already snowing outside the window. By the time daybreak came, it had turned into a violent blizzard.

Therefore, the last herbal medicine class of the semester was cancelled.

The next day, the students all knew that Neville could speak Parseltongue.

At breakfast in the morning, the six of Ted almost occupied a long table.

Apart from the twins who were eating not far away and making faces at everyone, Peggy came over to pat her little brother and comfort Neville, and Ginny brought Luna over to thank them, everyone else wanted to stay away from them.

Oh, how foolish.

Ted still remembered the scene when the Gryffindor lions cheered "We have a boy who survived a disaster" during the sorting. But now, suspicion and vigilance were written on their faces, which made people sigh.

In the afternoon, the twins came to play a prank, clearing the way for Neville and the others in the corridor, shouting, "Make way for the heir of Slytherin, he wants to have afternoon tea with his evil servant in the chamber of secrets~"

Harley almost gave them both a huge neck hug.

By dinner time even Peeves knew about it.

He came over to laugh at Neville. He floated in the sky with a smile that deserved a beating, and sang in a shrill voice: "Longbottom is the heir. Open the door of the Chamber of Secrets. The monsters are coming to clear the place. Everyone, run!"

You know what, some people actually believed it, especially the freshmen, who all ran away in a flash.

Harry was so angry that he yelled on the spot: "Just wait if you can do it!"

Peeves still didn't know whether to live or die: "You little brat, what can you do to me~"

After a while, Harley came back in a hurry. She actually brought the "ghost whip" made by Ted.

Without waiting for Peeves to move, Harry swung the willow whip - "plop~" Ron fell to the ground.

Harry had never practiced using soft weapons before, so she swung her hands to entangle Ron's feet and pulled him to the ground.

Ron's feet were tied and he fell flat on his buttocks. He was stunned: What's going on? Someone is trying to harm me!

Harry quickly apologized: "Oh, Ron, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that."

When Peeves saw this thing being taken out, he let out an "Ah" and ran into the wall.

If Ron hadn't taken the blame for him, he would have at least been whipped.

Fortunately, this was a "ghost whip" made with the thoughts of school students, and was targeted at Peeves, so it did not harm anyone else. Otherwise, Ron would have cried for half an hour.

The semester ends on the 21st and the Christmas holiday begins.

The six of them all stayed in school. Last year, the Weasleys went to Romania to visit their second son Charlie, who had just graduated and was training dragons in Romania. This year, they are going to Egypt to visit their eldest son Bill, who is working as a curse breaker in Gringotts.

So the five Weasley siblings who were still in school stayed in school.

Ted wondered if the couple were going on a Christmas honeymoon.
