"The prejudice of the human heart is a mountain, Harry."

...

When Harry walked out of the Ancient Rune Office in a daze, his heart was still echoing with what Professor Hepp said to him.

Two hours ago, he tried to dispel the professor's "terrible" idea, but two hours later, he was holding a magic scroll and began to think about how to translate the evil language of "Parseltongue".

He even thought that he was benefiting the entire wizarding world.

"Harry, I think Professor Hepp's point of view is good. A person's talent is not important. What matters is what kind of person he chooses to be!" As someone who listened to the whole conversation, Ron quoted a sentence from Professor Hepp.

"What's more, Professor Hepp's gift is also very generous." Ron added, looking at a magic puppet in Harry's hand with envy. It was a magic puppet with ice blue hair.

This is also the price Professor Hepp paid for the whole transaction-one of the most advanced magic puppets in his private collection. According to Professor Hepp, this puppet can "easily defeat a seventh-year graduate."

Harry's memory went back to two hours ago...

"Harry, we always easily label others and things we are not familiar with, but as long as we understand them a little, we will find that this approach is quite one-sided. For example, Principal Armando Dippet did a lot of practical things during his tenure, but people can only remember some absurd rumors, which were distorted by those with ulterior motives..."

Professor Hepp summoned the book "Armando Dippet: Master or Idiot?" on the table. The book flipped to the middle page, allowing the three to see the contents.

"Principal Dippet improved the school rules of Hogwarts and abolished most corporal punishments... At the same time, he also rejected the Dark Lord's job application and kept the students of Hogwarts free from his influence - this is what most people think, but is it really so? The author, with the idea of ​​exploring the truth, saw a completely different logic from it. It was a dusty history that was covered up and full of political filth..."

Felix said calmly: "This book full of lies and distorted facts has been on the bestseller list for a long time."

Harry was full of disgust for the woman named "Rita Skeeter", and at the same time he felt the same way about Principal Dippet's experience - they were all misunderstood, but he was misunderstood because of his Parseltongue.

Out of a kind of common hatred of the enemy, he quickly agreed to Professor Hepp's proposal. So Professor Hepp threw him a dictionary and asked him to translate it.

Ron and Hermione watched curiously. After the initial shock, they became very interested in the event itself. In Ron's words, "This is the process of revealing the secrets of Parseltongue. We are witnessing history!"

But the process was not easy. Harry turned to the first page of the dictionary and couldn't say a word after a long time.

"Professor, I can't do it."

Felix thought for a while, "You are not proficient in Parseltongue. Maybe it's because you lack direct stimulation." He waved his wand and cast a detection-feedback spell on the magic dictionary.

The effect is that when someone reads this book, they will feel like they are facing the face of a snake.

Harry quickly got into the state. After skipping the first and second useless words, he made a hoarse and gloomy voice, which scared Ron and Hermione next to him.

"This voice is too evil." Ron shuddered and his whole body was cold.

"This is a serious magical study, Ron." Hermione was also scared.

"Which word is it?" Felix asked.

Harry pointed to the third word in the dictionary, "That's it, 'stay away'."

"How many sounds can you make on this page?"

Harry tried again, moving his fingers on the dictionary so that the other three could judge his progress.

But then, Harry either held his face and couldn't speak, or normal English words popped out of his mouth. Ron reminded him more than once, "Harry, you're speaking human language", "Harry, we can understand."

Until the last word on this page, Harry finally said it in Parseltongue, "This word is 'eat'," he said excitedly, "I'm very familiar with this word, I heard it on Halloween."

Felix supported his chin with his fingers, "That is to say, out of the 23 words on one page, or to be exact, on the left and right pages, only two can be converted into snake language."

"Professor, what does this mean?" Harry asked.

"Ah, the language of animals is always not as rich as that of humans, and it is also very vague. For example, for the concept of 'eat', we have more than a dozen words with similar meanings, which is very rare in the languages ​​of other intelligent creatures."

Felix thought for a while, "Let's pause first, I need to make some changes to the dictionary."

The three followed Professor Hepp to the workbench, which was a very large "concave" table with a smooth wooden texture on the surface and waxed.

In Harry's perspective, Professor Hepp tapped on the dictionary with his wand, and the tip of the wand emitted various colors of light. The professor was sometimes silent and sometimes muttered to himself. Ten minutes later, he stopped.

"Professor?" Harry was about to ask him what he did, and then he opened his mouth wide.

The words in the dictionary suddenly "came to life".

It was completely literal. The surface of the pale yellow pages was rippling with circles of water-like ripples, and the title words of each entry began to twist, as if they had hands and feet. Then they struggled to break free from the dictionary and appeared in the three-dimensional world.

Next, the dictionary flipped pages, and "title words" were thrown out one by one. They fell on the surface of the workbench, and the black hollow lines swayed and jumped. In less than a minute, the number reached several thousand.

This scene was extremely shocking. The two-dimensional plane things suddenly came to the real world.

"Professor, am I dreaming?" Harry asked stupidly.

"This is magic." Felix said calmly.

Hermione's eyes burst into a strong light. This is magic... She always thought that magic was a concrete thing, a spell, a potion, or a moving portrait, but Professor Hepp told her with practical actions that magic can do much more than that.

Magic is unknown, it is a variety of possibilities.

Felix looked at the army of "words" in front of him with satisfaction. They were temporarily activated. He swung his wand violently, and the suitcase in the corner opened with a "bang", and parchments flew out from it.

Felix raised his wand and drew a circle, connecting them end to end. The parchments stuck together under the effect of magic.

Then, Felix's wand hit the table, and the army of "words" on the workbench merged into the parchment, and words appeared on it one by one, and they were arranged in a clear order.

When all this was over, the long parchment, or parchment, rolled itself up and turned into a magic scroll.

"Pah!"

It fell on the workbench.

"Here you go, Harry, fortunately I know a lot of unpopular magic." Felix smiled.

"How do I use this, professor?"

"It can store your Parseltongue pronunciation-of course, you need to use your wand to click on the corresponding content before using it. In addition, I also eliminated some English vocabulary. You know, there are tens of thousands of words in the dictionary, but many things are simply useless."

So in the remaining time, Harry spread out the scroll and translated word by word-this time the translation progress was much faster.

A hoarse, gloomy voice could be heard every few dozen seconds throughout the office.

And Ron and Hermione also went from initial discomfort to habit and then to numbness in less than an hour.

At nine o'clock, Professor Hep sent the three out. "Harry, you can find a place where no one is around to take notes. If you have any problems, just come to me."

Then he said to Hermione, "Tomorrow's magic learning is temporarily cancelled. I have something urgent to deal with."

"I'm going to see someone," said the professor.
