As the conversation continued, Harry listened and occasionally contributed, all the while keeping his mind alert to the undercurrents of the group dynamics. It was clear that Slytherin House was a complex web of alliances and rivalries, and navigating it would require careful thought and strategy.Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com
Daphne, noticing Harry's thoughtful expression, leaned in slightly. "You seem lost in thought, Potter. Care to share what's on your mind?"
Harry, glancing at her, decided to voice his musings. "I was thinking about the Defense Against the Dark Arts position. The idea of a curse is intriguing. It's a puzzle that begs to be solved."
Daphne's eyes sparkled with interest. "A puzzle, indeed. Perhaps something we could investigate together?" Her suggestion carried a hint of excitement. The idea of delving into one of Hogwarts' many mysteries seemed to appeal to her.
Before Harry could respond, Pansy interjected with a dismissive wave of her hand. "A curse? Please, it's just bad luck and incompetence. Why waste time on such trivialities?"
Malfoy, eager to assert his opinion, added, "It is more than that, Pansy. It's not just about the curse. Potter’s goal is to understand the hidden aspects of Hogwarts. Knowledge is power, after all."
Harry nodded in agreement, pleased to see Malfoy was shaping into a good underdog. "Exactly. It's not just idle curiosity. Unraveling this mystery could reveal deeper secrets about Hogwarts and its history."
Tracey, who had been silently listening, finally spoke up. "It's not just the Defense position. Hogwarts is full of unexplained mysteries and legends. Maybe we're just scratching the surface."
Daphne, turning to Tracey, smiled. "You're right. Hogwarts is a treasure trove of secrets. And who knows what we might uncover if we start digging."
The group's conversation shifted to discussing various Hogwarts legends and myths, each member contributing their own piece of knowledge or hearsay. Harry listened attentively, filing away every piece of information for future reference.
As the conversation wound down, Harry stood up, stretching his arms. "Well, this has been enlightening, but I have some essays to catch up on. Greengrass, Davis, I haven't forgotten about our deal."
Daphne raised an eyebrow. "I'll hold you to that, Potter. Don't think you can get out of helping us with those essays."
Harry, immersed in his studies, glanced at Nigel's avatar with a determined look. "We won't know until we try, will we?" he responded, his tone a mix of excitement and resolve. This was one of the more audacious ideas he had concocted since creating his mental clone, James. The plan was simple yet daring: let the clone rest while his main consciousness continued training through the night.
Nigel, crossing his arms in a distinctly 'Nigel-esque' manner, sighed audibly. "I suppose not, but remember, even the brightest wizards need their rest. Don't push yourself too hard."
Harry, appreciative of Nigel's concern, gave a reassuring nod. "I'll be careful. But think of the possibilities, Nigel. This could revolutionize the way I learn and train."
Nigel, still skeptical but resigned to Harry's decision, warned, "Just don't come crying to me when you fall asleep in your porridge tomorrow morning."
Harry chuckled at Nigel's characteristic dry humor. "Noted. Now, let's get back to it. Parseltongue won't master itself."
The night in the virtual room progressed with Harry deeply engrossed in his exploration of Parseltongue. The language's hissing syllables reverberated through the virtual space, each sound a puzzle piece fitting into the larger picture of magical linguistics. Harry practiced casting spells, infusing them with the serpentine language, marveling at the subtle but significant changes in their effects.
Meanwhile, in the real world, his clone rested peacefully, ensuring that his physical body would not suffer from the lack of sleep. This unique arrangement allowed Harry to maximize his time, a precious commodity in the fast-paced and ever-changing world of Hogwarts.
As the virtual night waned, Harry's concentration on Parseltongue began to yield intriguing results. He found that certain spells, when spoken in the serpent tongue, had enhanced properties, their magic more potent and refined. This discovery opened up a new realm of possibilities, and Harry's mind buzzed with ideas on how to apply this newfound knowledge.
Nigel watched on, his digital expression a mix of amazement and concern. "Impressive, Master Harry. But remember, with great power comes great tiredness. Thus the need for a good night's sleep."
