[Zhongyingmei] My dad is Voldy

"What?!" Anita stood up in shock, "Merlin, what happened? How do you know he's a Squib?"

"Leon has never had a magic riot." Draco sat on the sofa, covering his eyes with one hand, and said a little tiredly, "From birth to now, not once."

Anita frowned, and walked back and forth anxiously, "It doesn't mean anything, does it? Leon isn't even a year old now."

"The period from birth to one year old is the time when magic riots are the most frequent. Babies have no way to control the magic power in their bodies, nor do they have the consciousness to control magic power, so as their emotions fluctuate, the magic power will also fluctuate. Most of these They are all relatively mild magical riots, such as the painting on the wall suddenly crooked, the cup suddenly dropped to the ground, etc., the average Muggle family may not notice at all, but the house elves in Malfoy Manor are very important for taking care of wizard babies. Very experienced, they told me that Leon has no magic riots at all, not at all, like a Muggle baby." Draco buried his face in his hands, "House elves dare not tell this Mom and Dad, they were terrified. I found out that they were secretly punishing themselves, so I forced this out. Merlin, how can I tell Mom and Dad, they are so looking forward to Leon's arrival, this news will definitely make them Heartbreak."

Anita put her arms around Draco and comforted her softly, "Maybe things are not that bad, maybe Leon's magic power is very stable, or his talent is not very good. Think about Neville, didn't he never have a magic riot when he was a child, Almost considered a Squib?"

Draco rested his head on Anita's shoulder, and said sullenly, "If there is a Neville in the Malfoy family, Dad will be pissed to death."

"Neville's herbalism is very good," said Anita.

"Now we can only hope that Leon and Neville's situation is the same." Draco sighed and said, "It's better than being a squib."

"It doesn't matter if it's a squib." Anita said, "You have to believe that Leon can live well even in the Muggle world. After all, Malfoy is always the best."

Draco finally showed his first smile today, "Yes, Malfoy is always the best."

"How do you know that Leon's situation has something to do with Salazar Slytherin's curse?" Anita asked.

"Because the Malfoy family can't have a squib." Draco said naturally, "Although the Malfoy family has difficult children, every Malfoy's magical talent is very good, and there has never been a squib. Apart from that curse, I can't think of other possibilities." reason."

Anita frowned, "Your statement is too imprecise. Although the chances of Squibs appearing in Malfoy's house are very low, they still exist. Maybe Leon just became that special case?"

"Slytherin's curse of restricting the population of the wizarding world has been broken. The Malfoy family has a second offspring for the first time in hundreds of years, and this offspring is still a Squib that has never appeared in the Malfoy family. Is this a coincidence? I don't think so."

"We have too few samples to draw conclusions," Anita said. "It would be nice if we knew what happened to the other newborns."

"It's hard," Draco said. "First of all, not every wizarding family is equipped to have a few house-elves looking after the baby 24 hours a day. Second, even if they know their children are Squibs, many families will not Speaking of which, pure blood families are especially taboo about this, and some families even go to the Ministry of Magic to amend birth records for this, or register Squib children as 'died'. So, if you want to know how many children born this year are Squibs, we'll have to wait 11 years to see how many people get offers to Hogwarts."

"It's too late. If it's really because I broke the Slytherin curse in the second grade, which caused the increase in the chance of squibs among wizards, can you imagine the dire consequences after more than ten years?" And, what if the Squibs aren’t the only hangover? What if there’s something worse going on that we just don’t see right now? What if things just get worse over time?” Thinking of these scary All the consequences were caused by her, and Anita felt that she could hardly breathe.

"Relax, don't scare yourself, these are our guesses, and there may be no consequences at all." Draco stroked Anita's back to comfort her, "Even if there were consequences, it's not you If you hadn't killed the basilisk, you and Harry would have died, and you did the right thing. At that time, you didn't know that the basilisk had anything to do with Slytherin's curse."

Anita gradually calmed down, but she still felt uneasy. She always felt that she might have opened Pandora's box. "Let's go to the secret room to check again? See if there are any clues." Anita said.

The next day, the three of Anita came to Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets again, and they were already familiar with it.The densely packed symbols and magic patterns on the floor exude a mysterious green light, exuding a terrifying and dangerous atmosphere, which is quite ominous.There are thirteen stone pillars in the center of the hall, twelve of which are in a circle, and many coiled and entangled snakes are carved on them.

Anita narrowed her eyes and looked at the strangely shaped snakes, "Do you think those snakes may be a kind of text or a password?"

Hermione and Draco, who were looking down at the symbols on the floor, looked up at the same time to observe the pattern on the stone pillar.

"I thought those were decorative patterns. You know, you Slytherins have a special fondness for snakes, and you like to use snakes in any pattern. But now that you say it this way, these snakes may indeed be a special kind of writing. They have certain rules, but they are not simply repeated like patterns." Hermione said thoughtfully.

The three of them traced the pattern on the stone pillar on the parchment, and once again consulted Professor Babling of ancient magic literature.

"I've never seen such writing." Professor Babling's cloudy eyes were fixed on the pattern on the parchment.

"So, it's really a kind of writing?" Anita asked eagerly.

"It can be." Professor Babling explained, "Words are tools for recording thoughts and communicating information. They can be patterns or symbols. Words are generally composed of simple graphics, and they were closer to pictures in the early days. What you brought This kind of writing is likely to be created by a snake-worshiping group in the early days, and it has been lost for a long time now."

The three looked at each other in disappointment. Professor Babling is a master in ancient runes. If she doesn't know, they really don't know who else to ask.

"However," Professor Babling said slowly in a hoarse voice, and the eyes of the three lit up. They liked the word 'but', and 'but' meant that there was still a turning point. "However, characters have their own rigorous system. If you have enough samples, I can roughly deduce what each pattern corresponds to."

"That's all we have," Draco said dejectedly.

"That's it." Professor Babling's tone was even more disappointed than that of Anita and the others.

After Anita and the three thanked Professor Babling, they left the ancient rune classroom dejectedly.

"The clues are broken again." Hermione said dejectedly, "Professor Babling can't decipher these words, we can't go back to a thousand years ago and let people at that time explain it to us?"

"Wait." Anita looked up sharply, staring at Hermione with wide eyes, "What did you just say?"

Hermione was taken aback by Anita's sudden movement, "I said the thread was broken again?"

"No, no, another sentence."

"Let people from thousands of years ago explain it to us?"

"Yes, that's it." Anita clapped her hands excitedly, "Let's find someone from a thousand years ago!"

Draco and Hermione looked at Anita in confusion, "What are you talking about?"

Anita said quickly, "Ghost! The ghost of Slytherin, the bloody Baron, he seems to be from the era of the Big Four. He is probably the first generation student of Salazar Slytherin. Maybe he knows something."

"Anita, you are such a genius!" Hermione hugged Anita excitedly, "Do you know where the bloody Barrow is? I don't think I've ever seen him."

Bloody Barrow is a very taciturn ghost, he rarely communicates with students, and rarely appears in front of others, but he still protects Slytherin students very much, Draco and Anita have a relationship with Bloody Barrow Had a few short conversations.

"He likes to stay on the Astronomy Tower, we can try our luck there," Draco said.

The three ran up the astronomy tower, panting, where a translucent ghost was hanging a few inches above the ground, staring blankly into the distance.Bloody Barrow is a very scary looking ghost, with a pale and thin face, silver blood stains on his robes, and shackles on his wrists and ankles.

"Mr. Barrow," Anita called cautiously.

Bloody Barrow turned around, he seemed to be awake, but his eyes were still quite empty.

"Is something wrong?" His voice was a very hoarse whisper.

"You're a student of Salazar Slytherin, right?" Draco asked.

The bloody Baro stared fixedly into the air, as if immersed in memories. After a while, he nodded, "Yes."

"And do you know about the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets?" Anita asked.

Bloody Baron frowned in confusion, "Aren't you the one who opened the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets four years ago?"

"And before that? Did Salazar Slytherin tell you anything about the Chamber of Secrets or the curse?"

"No." Bloody Baron said, "otherwise I would have said it 50 years ago when the Chamber of Secrets was opened for the first time."

"Then do you know these words?" Anita opened the parchment and held it up for the bloody Baron to see.
