"§…rip…tear…kill…§"
"§…time to kill…§"
Roy was stopped in surprise at the Basilisk
"§NO! Bad snake! No killing.§"
The basilisk hissed and whined.
"§I... haven't eaten in... three hundred years!§"
"§Well, it's been at least five hours for me.§"
Roy spent hours with the basilisk and came to the realization that it had no way of identifying the one true heir of Slytherin. It was just a monstrous snake, not some magical lineage device. As such, it followed any command given in Parseltongue.
"§Basilisk, never attack me. And don't listen to any of his orders, either. Also do you have a name?§"
The giant creature shook its head in the negative.
"§I'm going to name you Betty. Do you like it§"
The now-named Betty, swarfed its head up and down in response, and responded in a cheerful tone.
"§Yes... Master... I like it!§"
Eventually, Roy convinced Betty to go inside the custom trunk he ordered for her. Once he revealed to her, that there were food supplies for her inside and livestock for her to hunt.
Once Betty was inside the trunk Roy Transmuted the mouth of Salazar's statue into stairs discovering a tunnel. he walked forwards, keeping his head on a swivel and constantly looking around.
Eventually, he found a door at the end of the tunnel. Roy heard a soft noise when it entered, he waited to see if something would happen, and when nothing happened he let his guard down. He let out his breath before he pushed the door open.
When Roy entered the room he found himself in another hallway, this one covered in tapestries with the Slytherin symbol, there were several torches along the walls. He walked forward with his wand ready and cast an unlocking charm on the door.
As it unlocked he pushed it open with a small wind blast. Entering the room Roy saw it was similar to the Ravenclaw common room in design, except the colors were green and silver. There was one thing that he could not help but notice, and that was the portrait that was opposite the door.
"Hello there, who exactly are you?"
Asked the portrait of Salazar Slytherin.
"Hold up, you're Thee Salazar Slytherin?"
Roy asked, struggling to believe that he had just somehow stumbled upon a portrait of one of the Hogwarts founders. Though to be fair if he was going to find one then, it completely made sense that he would find one in their secret lairs.
"Yep, that's me!"
Salazar spoke in a prideful voice.
"Your English is rather modern for a portrait of someone who lived so long ago."
Roy pointed out, as he knew that the language in Salazar Slytherin's time was far different from the modern English that was spoken now.
"Oh, that would probably be the translation runes fitted into the portrait, I just need to hear someone speak a language once and I will instantly know all of it."
Salazar replied.
"Doesn't work outside of portraits as far as I am aware. It was Rowena who helped me with them, she was quite the genius, though I never really worked out how to do them as well as she did. My talents were more centered around charms and potions for the most part. By the way, if I might ask, how long has it been since someone has come to visit?"
Salazar asked, sounding like a curious child.
"You don't know?"
Roy just stood there dumbfounded.
"Young man I'm a portrait that's been stuck in this room, I don't know what goes on in the outside world. Because my world is this god fucking painting!
Salazar pointed out, nearly bursting a vain on his forehead.
"Holy crap!... What you've been doing all this time here?!"
Harry commented after a few seconds of silence, not really sure what else to say.
"To tell you the truth, young man, I had actually been deactivated For a long while now. The most recent time I had been activated was when a boy named Tom Riddle entered the chamber. He never discovered this room and we never really talked but he did make use of my outside library. If nobody is in the chamber then I fall asleep. So, what year is it?"
Salazar admitted.
"Well...it's 1979."
Answered Roy.
"I beg your pardon? Is it really, 1979?!"
Salazar blinked, looking at him with pure disbelief.
"Yeah! Wait, what was that about an outer library?"
Harry nodded before he remembered He mentioned a library.
"Hmm?"
Salazar blinked, looking at him. He appeared like he still hadn't Fully processed how long he had been deactivated.
Roy pointed out the elephant in the room.
"You just mentioned an "outer library" that means that there's an inner one."
Salazar said after he shook his head to clear it
"Oh, yes, there is. That boy, Riddle, used the outer library. It was more of a guest library for those who visited, when I had a few friends around, but never got around to it, though. That library only has copies of about a fraction of the books in the inner library."
"How did you know about Tom Riddle, if you never spoke to the man?"
Roy asked, trying to figure out how Salazar achieved such a feat, Also in the hopes of being able to get the chance to read Salazar Slytherin's personal library.
"Oh, just look around youngster."
Salazar said as he gestured to the various metal snake decorations.
"OK, you can use them for spying?"
Roy said with puzzeled look.
"I thought that Parseltongue could only be used to controlled snakes."
"Ah, I see! Parselmouths are still as rare as they were in my time. No wonder you don't have much knowledge of your capabilities, but its good to know my heir is doing well."
Salazar nodded in understanding.
"That is good!"
"Your heir?"
Roy asked.
"But now that I think about it Salazar, everyone Pure blood and half blood in magical Britain are technically all the Heirs of Slytherin. Since you lived a thousand years ago, right, and I'm not sure if you know since you've been trapped down here, but the British wizarding population is kind of tiny."
"Everyone is related to everyone, so everyone's related to Slytherin. In fact, the only people in the school who are not the Heirs of Slytherin are the Muggleborns."
"That can't be, did those dumb Fucks keep inbreeding! That was the whole point why we brought the muggleborn into our community, To bring in new blood into our families and stop the degradation of our magic. We had scientific proof from all the royal families losing their magic from all their inbreeding."
Salazar said in an annoyed tone.
"Whoa, whoa whoa! Wait a sec, didn't Didn't you technically hate all muggleborn. And second you know science?!"
"Of course I know science. Its the system of knowledge that is concerned with the physical world and its phenomena and that entails unbiased observations and systematic experimentation. In general, a science involves a pursuit of knowledge covering general truths or the operations of fundamental laws."
"Youngster How do you think we discovered spells and potions? What are they teaching me to that school? Next thing you're gonna tell me, is they're not teaching you math or English?"
Roy just gave Salazar a sheepish look.
"Youngster? Why aren't you answering me?"
Salazar became more nervous in anticipation by what Roy was gonna tell him.
Roy then began to explain where they taught in Hogwarts at the moment. Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, History of Magic, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Astronomy, Herbology, Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures, Divination, Muggle Studies, Study of Ancient Runes.
"So you're telling, is that all the magicals threw away, all the basic studies in Britain, and they can't blend in with regular society. Jesus Christ! Thankfully you guys have the ICW, that you informed me of."
Roy started to wiggle his fingers together in anxiety.
"Oh no! There's more isn't there?!"
Roy was not sure how much time had passed but he was eventually able to explain everything to Salazar Slytherin, and he had explained how everyone had viewed him. If looks could kill, Roy would probably be gun down to shreds.
Salazar looked far from amused.
"Well, that's bullshit!"
Salazar said by the end of Harry's explanation.
"I don't hate mugglelborns! I despise those fucking muggle!"
"I've been meaning to ask, what was up with that?"
Roy asked.
"I don't know much about the muggles in your time but the muggles during my time were vicious little cunts. They hated magical people with a passion. They lynched and burned poor innocent children if they displayed any signs of magic. Oh, and they were also very creative too, in hunting the magical teens and adults who couldn't defend themselves."
"I'm so, sorry."
Harry said in a quiet voice.
"Don't be, it's not your fault that they were so ignorant."
Salazar said after a few moments of silence, as he wiped his face
