The Silent Witch of Hogwarts

Chapter 538 "The Theory of Loila's Pureblood" by Slytherin

Before Loila could speak, Miss Nagini emerged from her sleeve, taking human form to the surprised look of the Slytherins, and said, "What do you mean by this?"

Her tone was unfriendly, accusatory, and it was clear she was unhappy with Slytherin's somewhat impolite remarks.

Ah—Miss Nagini, what's the use of him disagreeing? I'll dismantle all these magic circles for him in a moment, and then he won't be able to say a word.

Loila tried to persuade Nagini by pulling her hand, but Slytherin spoke up at that moment.

"Ha—this is the first Animagus I've ever seen like you," Slytherin said, raising an eyebrow. "But even so—my answer remains the same."

"She simply couldn't pass my test."

"Because my test is very simple." Slytherin rolled his eyes slightly: "Only a pure-blood wizard with ambition is qualified to modify the central magic circle of Hogwarts."

"I—I'm not going to make any changes either—" Roy was about to explain, but Nagini spoke up faster than her.

"Why isn't she a pure-blood wizard?"

"Hmm?" Loila's lips twitched slightly as she looked at Nagini.

Miss Nagini, you can't lie to me like this!

I myself—I didn’t even know I was a pure-blood wizard!

"Is such a clumsy joke funny?" Slytherin said, looking at Loila with a sneer. "What do her pointy ears and silver hair have to do with wizards?"

"This is clearly the Veela's symbol!"

"What's her name?" Nagini retorted with a sneer, "Do you even know?"

"Loila Hamilton," Slytherin said, raising an eyebrow. "Of course I heard her."

"Then you should know that the Hamilton family is one of the current Twenty-Eight Holy Families, and she is the head of the Hamilton family!"

"In other words, no one is a pure-blooded wizard more than her!"

"What?" Slytherin was visibly taken aback, then sharply tapped his cane and exclaimed, "She's the head of House Hamilton?"

It seems he also knows what the Hamilton family is like.

However—even so, I'm not a pure-blooded wizard—Roy pursed his lips somewhat awkwardly.

"So what?" Slytherin scoffed after a few seconds of thought. "It only proves that the Hamilton family has also fallen into depravity."

"In the end, it all comes down to the problems with Hogwarts now. I clearly left behind a secret chamber—" he cursed, "and what have my descendants been doing—they've all been making them kill all the Muggle-born wizards—"

"The secret chamber?" Loila paused, taken aback. "Are you talking about—the secret chamber with the basilisk?"

"You know?" Slytherin was also taken aback. "Did someone open the Chamber of Secrets? How many Muggle wizards were killed?"

"Ah—that—" Loila scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "I opened that secret room."

"What? This can't be—this is impossible! Only my descendants can open it—" Slytherin's eyes widened, seemingly unable to accept this reality. He took a few steps back, then, as if realizing something, said, "You're trying to lie to me? You can't possibly open it. Only a pure-blood wizard, only my successor, can open it!"

"Clatter".

Loila opened her spatial expansion book, then shook it slightly, revealing a basilisk's tail: "This—"

This should prove I wasn't lying, right?

Looking at the basilisk's tail, even Slytherin couldn't find any words to refute it for a moment.

Nagini, seeing this, couldn't help but laugh: "Mr. Slytherin, it seems your so-called descendants aren't even pure-blood wizards in your eyes?"

"Or are you saying—that your meticulously designed secret room can be opened so easily by a Muggle-born wizard you look down upon?"

"You—" Slytherin was speechless, choked by Nagini's words. He stared at the two of them, his hand gripping his cane so tightly it turned blue.

"How did you open the secret room if you can't speak Parsley? — Only my descendants can speak Parsley —"

"I can speak Parsley too—" Loila muttered, pursing her lips.

She greeted the Slytherin in Parseltongue.

—

Slytherin fell silent again, then suddenly began counting on his fingers.

"Jack—James—Edward—and then Lloyd—ah—" His muttering made Loila a little scared.

Was it because what he and Miss Nagini said was too provocative, making it a little hard for him to accept?

Loila had no idea that magical memories could cause madness —

"I've got it—I've got it." Slytherin nodded as if he had suddenly realized something, and looked at Loira seriously, saying, "You are actually a pure-blood wizard."

"Hmm?" Loila's lips twitched.

Are you really crazy?

"I just did the math—you have one-sixty-fourth of my blood in you—" Slytherin said seriously.

"But—but I—" Roy subconsciously twitched his pointed ears.

"Genetic mutation, that's normal." Slytherin nodded. "Yes, that's normal."

Is that how it is? You actually know about genes?

And am I really a pure-blood wizard?

Loila pinched her ear, almost as if she herself was doubting herself.

"I think you're just too proud to admit it and afraid of being laughed at by Gryffindor—" Nagini muttered.

what?

Loila looked at Slytherin in surprise upon hearing this, only to find that Slytherin also looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Although half of your parents weren't pure-blood wizards—you have my blood in you, which is enough to suppress that other half," Slytherin said with a cough and a straight face. "So that's why you were able to open the Chamber of Secrets."

So, is what Miss Nagini said true?

"But—" Loila pursed her lips, pinched the ends of her hair, and looked at Slytherin as if she wanted to say something.

"No buts." Slytherin slammed his cane down, interrupting her. "That's it—so you should thank me."

"Without my bloodline, you wouldn't be able to open the secret chamber at all!"

"And he's definitely not a pure-blood wizard," Slytherin added immediately after speaking, "That's not open to debate!"

"Well—okay then—" Looking at his excited expression, Loila didn't know what was going on. She had suddenly become a pure-blood wizard, even though just a few minutes ago he said he wasn't human.

However, since he has admitted that he is a pure-blood wizard—

"That—that test—" Loila asked instinctively.

"Of course—of course I passed," Slytherin said in a muffled voice. "You've already opened the Chamber of Secrets—what else is there to say?"

"You've passed."

Slytherin's words made Loira bite her lip and ask, "But—aren't there still ambitions and such—"

"Ambition—" Slytherin paused for a few seconds before saying, "So, do you have any ambitions or anything like that?"

Does helping Lord Grindelwald rule the wizarding world count? But Miss Nagini is still here—

Loila paused for a few seconds and then whispered, "Um—um, I want—I want to rule the wizarding world—"

Isn't that a little too arrogant?

"The wizarding world... a tiny bit of the wizarding world... like Gewarts... that big... or an office... that would do too..." she answered Slytherin somewhat hesitantly.

"Not bad, very ambitious!" Compared to her lack of confidence, Slytherin was much more confident. He nodded vigorously and affirmed, "As expected of my descendant, truly ambitious!"

"You've passed!"

And so, the half-Veele Loila Hamilton became an ambitious pure-blood wizard, and a Slytherin certified one at that.
