030 Failed Conversation (Part 2)
Harry stared at the pensive Bryan nervously, his hands resting on his knees, clutching his robe tightly, and the courage he had finally brewed in his heart was asking questions. It disappeared in an instant.
What would Mr. Watson say?
Deep down in his heart, Harry thought that Mr. Investigator, who was very unusual to touch, would not be so credulous about the rumors in the school, but if he couldn't stand the pressure of the school board and urgently needed to hand over a murderer...
"If you're asking for my personal opinion, Potter--"
Bryan began to speak, and Harry's clenched fists turned white at the knuckles.
"I personally don't think you will be the heir who opened the Chamber of Secrets, Potter."
Harry's eyes widened suddenly, and the heart in his chest was beating like he was riding a broomstick for the first time through thin and cold clouds. Relaxed and happy, even the slightly dark office suddenly became bright and open.
"But why, sir?"
Still, Harry subconsciously asked, "I am a Parseltongue it's because of this , they... I mean, people know that Slytherin himself is the most famous Parseltongue."
Bryan laughed, and he glanced secretly at Harry's scar, with a relaxed expression on his face,
"What can Parseltongue represent, Mr. Potter, since the era of Salazar Slytherin until now? In the past thousand years, there have been at least dozens of Parseltongues that have existed in the wizarding world and have been clearly recorded. I can't think that you have an unclear relationship with the great founder of Slytherin just because of this—"
Looking at Harry, whose expression brightened, Bryan joked jokingly,
"There are many other facts that I can't ignore, for example, I can't figure out if Salazar Slytherin wants to find himself an heir, why do you have to pick from Gryffindor House.
Harry realized that Mr. Watson's behavior of posting the announcement was just a temptation, and he hoped that after seeing the announcement, the culprit would regard it as a provocation, so as to continue his great career as the heir of Slytherin.
After figuring this out, Harry felt extremely relaxed all over his body!
Since Mr. Watson believed that he was innocent, the damage caused by the rumors in the school would be reduced by at least half because his biggest worry was that Mr. Watson would listen to the rumors.
"Since this is the case, "Harry stood up excitedly, "Mr. Watson, if you don't think I did all of this, then can you help me? I mean, maybe you can make another announcement to explain to everyone."
"It means you are innocent?" Bryan smiled, "That's why you came to find me, Mr. Potter? Hehe, I thought you were here to report someone like Filch."
Harry was very embarrassed. He expected that his request would not be granted, but he still insisted on saying,
"I think you already know that because of Parsel-tongue, the little wizards all think that I attacked Colin and Fletchley. There's Mrs. Norris, and everyone thinks that wherever they go, Anyway..."
Harry couldn't go on because he had seen Mr. Watson stop smiling and shake his head.
"I understand your current dire situation, Mr. Potter, but I cannot agree to your request."
Bryan said calmly, not because the person standing in front of him was the protagonist, or because he and himself stayed together. If the unprocessed mysterious memory is related, I will make an exception.
"Just like I will not believe that you are the attacker because of rumors, I also have no way to tell everyone that you are the attacker without certain evidence. There must be no suspicion. This is an irresponsible behavior, Mr. Potter. I hope you can understand me."
Bryan's deep eyes contained indescribable pressure, which made Harry unable to continue making the request, and then afterwards, Mr. Watson's words made Harry nervous again,
"Also, you really need to give everyone a reasonable explanation for some things. For example, on the night of Halloween , I mean, the first attack happened. At that time, the reason why you, Mr. Weasley, and Miss Granger appeared in the corridor on the third floor after attending Nick's Death Day party was really puzzling—"
