Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts

That distant voice echoed over and over again in the secret room, and gradually became louder with the blessing of magic.

Les knew that this was the magic he had left behind being triggered.

According to his design back then, as long as someone uses Parseltongue in the castle, the magic spell on the castle wall will transmit the sound down layer by layer, all the way to the secret room, and then under the action of the amplification spell in the secret room, The sound will gradually amplify until it awakens its own basilisk.

The basilisk will then follow the orders of the Parseltongue user according to the orders he left behind.

But even after figuring out what happened, Les still felt extremely ridiculous: Didn't he know if Slytherin had an heir? Do you really think someone who can speak Parseltongue will be considered the heir?

Who is using my guise to deceive?

In addition to feeling ridiculous, Rice was also angry: because according to design, this system could only be activated when Hogwarts faced a life-or-death crisis.

Since the man on the ground knew that Parselmouth could awaken the basilisk, he must also know the conditions for awakening the basilisk, but he still chose to summon the basilisk when Hogwarts was in a peaceful state!

This made Les extremely angry: This is no longer something that can be explained by pranks. Creatures like the basilisk will kill people once they have direct eye contact with it!

He couldn't help but think of the lie concocted by the Gaunt family. Is there really a fool preparing to clean up the campus?

When Les was frightened and angry, a rustling sound came from the mouth of his statue. The gradually increasing sound above the secret room was like an alarm clock, waking up the sleeping basilisk.

Noticing the changes in the statue, Les waved his hand suddenly, and immediately, the sound echoing in the secret room disappeared. At the same time, the statue's half-open mouth closed again.

"Go back to sleep!" Only Les' angry voice echoed in the secret room.

The basilisk that was woken up was a bit baffled. It didn't understand what was going on outside - there were two "masters" giving orders to itself, one told him to climb up, and the other told him to go back to sleep.

According to the Basilisk's own preferences, it must be inclined to the second one. What's even better is that the owner who issued the second command has higher authority, so it happily curled up and prepared to turn around and go back to sleep.

Then it received another instruction.

"No, don't sleep yet, go up and find the source of the sound!"

Basilisk:…

It silently changed its movements and swam up the castle along the pipes extending in all directions - what could it do? The master's order is absolute, and it has no right to complain.

A burst of magic power flew out, attached to the basilisk, and followed the basilisk towards the place where the Parselmouth came from.

The basilisk crawled around in the dark and narrow pipe, and finally came directly below the voice. At this time, there was only a floor and a pipe between the basilisk and the person who issued the voice to order it.

Feeling that it had reached the place, the basilisk roared directly, and it also wanted to figure out who was ordering it.

[I, the Heir of Slytherin, command you to obey my orders]

After the people outside heard the basilisk's voice, their mood obviously improved, and they began to give orders to the basilisk so that it would obey its orders.

【I reject】

The basilisk refused it flatly.

According to the logic of the basilisk, since the first owner is back, the new owner's authority will naturally be taken back.

【? 】

[Are you kidding me? ! 】

The voices outside became shocked and angry: [Are you going to disobey the great Slytherin's order? 】

The basilisk was too lazy to pay attention to it. It was a little hungry when it was awakened from its deep sleep. It decided to catch some mice in the pipe to fill its stomach. Even though the mice were small, these things were in nests, and the number was amazing. It would be better to eat more. Can obtain enough heat to survive.

Hogwarts has such a complex underground system, but the rat problem is not serious. The basilisk kept by Slytherin underground also partly contributed. Every time it wakes up from its slumber, the rats underground are annihilated.

Seeing that the basilisk ignored him, the voice outside was obviously panicked. It started to switch words and tried to regain the right to use the basilisk, but the basilisk chose to concentrate on catching mice and only occasionally "hissed" to deal with it.

It doesn't understand. The basilisk could obey its orders decades ago, so why doesn't it obey its orders now? Is it because the little girl he possesses does not have the blood of the great Slytherin?

It felt like it had found the right answer.

While the basilisk was contending with the hollow voice, Les was rushing to the ground as fast as he could. The magic power he left on the basilisk was a signal source that could help him locate it.

Soon, he arrived nearby, and Les could feel that there was only a wall between him and the magic attached to the basilisk, but the corridor he was in was empty, and no one could be seen.

[Where is that person? 】

Les chose to ask the basilisk directly.

【There】

The basilisk showed him the way.

Following the guidance of the basilisk, Les walked quickly to the corner of the corridor, where he saw a person who was somewhat unexpected.

It was a little girl wearing an old robe that didn't fit very well, with red hair that looked like a flame. She has light skin, a thin build, and brown eyes. Her appearance is outstanding, and even though she is still young, it can already be seen that she is a beautiful woman. She was actually as good as Daphne in terms of appearance, and even exceeded it, but the tired, haggard look on her face and the dark sockets around her eyes destroyed this beauty.

There was no need to ask the name or search the memory. Just seeing the red hair, Les knew that the little guy in front of him was a member of the Weasley family.

There is only one girl in the Weasley family of this generation. During the sorting ceremony, Les learned that her name was Ginevra.

"Ginevra Molly Weasley, why are you here?" Les asked with squinted eyes. He had noticed something unusual about the little girl in front of him.

Faced with Les's question, Ginny was obviously a little panicked. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Just call me Ginny."

"Okay, Ginny Weasley, why are you here?" Les was almost certain that this little girl was a Parseltongue speaker.

But this is too strange. Why would a Weasley use Parseltongue?

Although Parseltongue can be learned, it depends more on blood. If a wizard does not have Parseltongue in his ancestors, it is basically impossible for him to know Parseltongue.

As far as Les knew, the Weasley family a thousand years ago did not understand Parseltongue.

Maybe it's the blood of other wizard families? Or is it related to her "little secret"?
