"But then one day, that man, the Dark Lord, you know, he burst into my room, pointed his wand at me, and demanded that I hand over Aragog, saying that Aragog was responsible for these attacks."
"In the end, Aragog was found guilty, and I was expelled from school. Thanks to Professor Dumbledore, I was able to become the game keeper at Hogwarts."
"Now that I think about it, that person must be the heir of Slytherin. The weeping Myrtle was probably killed by that person!"
As Hagrid spoke, he became extremely sad, for his Aragog, for the weeping Myrtle, and for his own expulsion.
Su Yu was quite dissatisfied and couldn't help but ask, "Is that all you know?"
"Ok!"
"Then do you know how to open the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin?" Su Yu asked directly.
"How could that be? I'm not the real murderer, how would I know how to open the locked room!" Hagrid took a step back, quickly waving his hands to distance himself from the situation.
"Well, it seems I was overthinking it." Su Yu was somewhat disappointed. Did he really have to rely on Ha's Parseltongue to open the secret room in the end?
Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it now. Since Lucius has already sent that notebook to the school, it's only a matter of time before the secret room is opened. I can only hope that no one will get hurt.
The new semester officially began, and Su Yu also settled into a regular life, continuing her daily routine of studying, attending classes, and conducting research.
However, his focus of study was on Transfiguration, while his research and development focused on the absorption and utilization of souls by the Jumping Pot.
Although most of the magic runes on the Jumping Pot had broken and been destroyed, Su Yu still gained a lot of inspiration from its remains, and he had an idea.
Is it possible for me to extract Voldemort's soul fragments from his Horcruxes, erase his memories, and then inject them into a network server?
In this way, your own web server is essentially equipped with a powerful artificial intelligence. If you have enough magic, you can instantly upgrade the number of users you serve to several levels.
However, this also presents a problem: what if his own magical network server becomes Voldemort's Horcrux? If so, how should Voldemort deal with it?
Of course, these are all things to be discussed later. Whether it will be successful or not will depend on getting the notebook. Regular life always passes quickly, and three weeks have passed in the blink of an eye.
A lot has happened in these three weeks. First, Su Yu and Lockhart's partnership and Takayuki Kyouka made the headlines of the Daily Prophet.
Lockhart certainly paid for the traffic, but more importantly, it was a gesture of goodwill from Gufy towards Su Yu. Gufy probably thought that becoming a top figure in the British wizarding world alongside Lockhart would greatly benefit Su Yu's career.
The newspaper also emphasized Su Yu's achievements and how his magic phone changed the lives of wizards, naming him the greatest alchemist of the late 20th century.
Su Yu could even guess what Gu Fei was thinking: I've praised you so much, you can't keep targeting our Daily Prophet all the time, can you?
But in reality, Gu Fei's attempt to flatter backfired. Su Yu was furious and immediately sent an order to Rita Skeeter, instructing her to quickly gather information on the real people behind Lockhart's novels and find evidence that Lockhart stole other people's lives.
She also clarified on Toutiao that there was no such group as Eagle Academy Shadow, and that she was just an alchemist who was dedicated to making life more convenient for ordinary wizards.
Lockhart approved of Su Yu's actions, feeling that Su Yu was creating a persona of someone who "ignores everything else and focuses solely on alchemy."
Lockhart came to see Su Yu several more times afterward, all about the Duel Club.
Lockhart seemed to take this matter very seriously. He had already applied for the appropriate classroom with Dumbledore and, after communicating with Su Yu, set the date for the first Duel Club gathering at the end of September.
Besides Lockhart, Zhang Qiu also visited Su Yu a few times, bringing him some magical snacks unique to Hong Kong.
For example, butterfly cookies, a type of crispy cookie shaped like a butterfly that can flutter in the air, look similar to honey candy.
There were about twenty butterfly cookies in the jar. Su Yu took one out to taste. It was slightly sweet with a hint of almond flavor. He thought Dumbledore would like it.
Then there's something called "pissing beef balls." These look no different from ordinary beef balls, but on their round bodies, they not only have hands and feet, but also eyes and a mouth.
They look a bit like the egg waffles from the Egg Waffle Party game I played in my past life. The most amazing thing is that when you put these beef balls into a pot of boiling water, they will happily scrub and swim in the pot. When they expand to their maximum size, they will jump onto the edge of the pot and urinate into the soup.
So the "pissing beef balls" really do urinate, and the soup they urinate in becomes extremely delicious, even more delicious than the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup that Su Yu had drunk.
Taking this opportunity, Su Yu returned the red envelope that Zhang Peter had given him to Zhang Qiu. At first, Zhang Qiu refused to accept it, but she eventually accepted it after Su Yu's gentle persuasion.
Of course, Zhang Qiu's gift wasn't entirely innocent; her request was to join Raven's Feather. Su Yu agreed, saying that if she could rank in the top three of her grade at the end of the semester, he would accept her as a member.
……
That evening, Su Yu was studying magic runes in his office when Harry suddenly sent him a message: "Professor Su, I don't know why, but I just heard some strange noises."
Su Yu immediately put down what he was doing and replied to Harry, "Where are you now?"
"Gryffindor Common Room!"
Chapter 88 Secret Words
When Su Yu saw Harry say he heard strange noises, he immediately realized that the other party had taken action.
So Su Yu said to Harry, "Come to my office!"
“Professor Sue, but there’s a curfew now!” Harry hesitated.
"It's alright. If you run into Filch, just give me my name!" Su Yu said confidently.
"Can I bring Ron and Hermione along?" Harry asked again.
“Of course!” Su Yu agreed.
While talking to Harry, Su Yu opened the Marauder's Map on his phone. Using the girls' restroom where Myrtle was as the origin, he surveyed the surrounding area.
At this time of day, anyone wandering around outside is a suspect. Su Yu quickly searched and soon found two people: George and Fred.
Unexpectedly, the twins were out for a night stroll again. Judging from their direction of movement, they were probably looking for a secret passage leading to the Forbidden Forest.
Su Yu really wanted to deduct 20 points from each of these two guys right now. Since he had completed the second stage of the "Enemy of the Academy" achievement series, the point deduction requirement for the third stage had reached 500 points.
To be aware that even the Slytherin who lost the most points last year was still less than 200, reaching the third stage of this achievement series this year will require tremendous effort.
But now was not the time. He quickly brushed past the twins, and then he saw a familiar face: Padma Petit from Ravenclaw, one of the Indian twin girls.
She seemed to have just come out of the Gryffindor common room and was heading back to her Ravenclaw dorm. Su Yu quickly searched the surroundings again, but there was no one else there.
Could it be Padma Petit? Su Yu pondered. At least for now, this girl seemed to be the most suspicious. He could talk to her alone tomorrow.
Ten minutes later, Harry and his trio arrived at Su Yu's office. Su Yu eagerly asked, "Harry, tell me in detail what you heard!"
Harry said, "It was a very strange voice, very hoarse and intermittent, that seemed to be saying: Come here... come here... let me... tear you apart... kill you!"
Su Yu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What happened before you heard that voice? Can you tell me?"
Harry organized his thoughts and said, "Well, this morning our Gryffindor Quidditch team captain, Wood, booked the pitch for us to practice extra."
"But then the Slytherin team arrived, carrying a letter from Professor Snape, demanding that we give up our team so they could train a new Seeker."
Ron picked up where Harry left off: "My God, Professor Sue, you have no idea, Slytherin's new Seeker is Malfoy!"
"To get into the team, this guy actually had his bastard father equip every member of the entire Slytherin team with the latest Nimbus 2001, which is even better than Harry's broom!"
Ron was clearly furious about this, but as he said this, he gagged twice and spat out a slug about the thickness of a thumb.
Seeing that Ron could not continue, Harry continued, "Not only that, Malfoy also used this opportunity to humiliate Hermione and said some very vicious things to her."
“Extremely vicious!” Ron seemed to have recovered, and said with a hateful look in his eyes, “He actually dared to call Hermione a Mudblood… Mudblood!”
Hermione, standing nearby, also had her eyes slightly redden when she heard this word.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu roughly recalled the plot. It seemed that Ron's broken wand had reflected his own spell, causing him to be hit by the Slug Curse.
But that doesn't make sense. Because of his involvement, Ron didn't arrive at Hogwarts in a flying car, nor did he encounter the Willow of the Brawler. So why was he still cursed?
"What's with the curse on you?" Su Yu asked, puzzled.
"Hmph, Malfoy didn't fare well either!" Ron said angrily. "I hit him with the Slug Curse first, and then his henchman ambushed me. I should have won."
Su Yu immediately imagined the situation at the time, but he still brought the topic back: "Harry, what does this have to do with the sounds you heard?"
Harry nodded. "Yes, Professor Sue. We were punished by Professor McGonagall for this. Ron went to clean the prize room, and I went to Professor Lockhart to help him reply to the fans' letters."
"Seriously, Professor Su, are you really in the same group as Lockhart? I get the feeling he's a bit... all show and no substance!"
Before Su Yu could answer, Hermione said, "Harry, you should show respect to Professor Lockhart. How can you call him by his first name! Haven't you read Professor Lockhart's books? Without real experience, how could he write such detailed content?"
Harry pursed his lips in exasperation: "But didn't you see how he behaved in class? He couldn't even handle the Cornish elves."
Hermione retorted, "Those things were brought by Professor Lockhart, of course he could handle them. I think he just wanted to test us."
Su Yu had to clap his hands to bring the three little ones' attention back; their conversation was really prone to going off-topic.
"Alright, stop arguing. Lockhart and I aren't a duo, and I'm not even familiar with that guy. But now's not the time to talk about that. Let's talk about how you heard those things first," Su Yu said.
Harry quickly composed himself and continued to recall, "I was helping Professor Lockhart write a reply when the voice suddenly appeared, growing clearer and clearer as it approached."
"I was a little confused at the time, so I asked Professor Lockhart what it was, but he didn't seem to be able to hear the sounds, and then the sounds gradually faded away."
"Didn't you go after them to check?" Su Yu asked.
Harry shook his head: "I still had a lot of replies to write, and Professor Lockhart didn't let me leave."
Su Yu thought for a moment, then drew his wand, pointed to an open space, and said, "The Black Dragon Emerges from its Cave!"
A green spell lit up, and a snake appeared out of thin air in Su Yu's office, startling the three little ones who huddled on the sofa. Su Yu controlled the snake and looked at Harry.
Just as Su Yu had predicted, when Harry and the snake made eye contact, he began to unconsciously make hissing sounds.
Ron and Hermione were stunned when they heard the voice coming from Harry's mouth. They looked at Harry as if they were seeing him for the first time. Su Yu took out his magic phone and recorded the whole video of Harry communicating with the snake.
About a minute later, Harry snapped out of that state and said to Hermione and Ron, "It's okay, I've already told it, it won't hurt us!"
“My God, Harry! You can talk to snakes?” Ron asked incredulously.
“Of course, I could do it since I was little, why can’t you?” Harry asked, somewhat puzzled.
Hermione pulled Harry back: "Of course not. Wizards who can communicate directly with snakes are called Parseltongues, and they are extremely rare. Slytherin, one of the founders of the four houses, was such a person!"
Chapter 89 Duel Club
Harry had always known that he could talk to snakes; before coming to Hogwarts, he had communicated with a python in the zoo.
At that time, Harry magically removed the glass outside the python exhibit, causing his cousin to fall into the exhibit and releasing the python.
Before leaving, the python thanked him. This matter troubled Harry for a long time, but Harry felt relieved the day he learned that the snake was a wizard.
Since I'm already a wizard and can do these strange things, what's so strange about it?
But now, Hermione suddenly tells him that not all wizards can talk to snakes, which once again shatters Harry's understanding of the world.
Harry looked up at Su Yu: "Professor Su... is that so?"
Su Yu didn't explain, but instead played the video of Harry talking to the snake. "Listen for yourself. Is this voice the same as the mysterious voice you heard?"
Looking at his own reflection on the phone, making those strange noises, Harry felt a chill run down his spine. He nodded, somewhat dazed, and said, "Yes...yes...that's the sound!"
“Then that’s it. This means you are a snake-speaker, and the secret language you heard likely came from a snake,” Su Yu nodded.
