Snakes at Hogwarts

Late at night, Slytherin's common room.

The time has arrived at 11:30 in the evening, and the busy lounge during the day has already returned to silence. The surroundings are pitch black, and only the deep black lake outside the window emits a faint blue fluorescence.

Through the window, you can still see a huge, blurry shadow from time to time.

It could be a large school of fish swimming by quickly, or it could be some indescribable giant aquatic creature. To be honest, the complex ecological structure of the Black Lake is not much different from that of the Forbidden Forest.

It is said that there is even a mermaid colony living in the depths of the Black Lake, but no students have ever seen it with their own eyes.

"Zabini, why are you up late at night and insisting on going out with me to join in the fun?" Draco's somewhat dissatisfied voice came from the corridor leading to the underground dormitory.

Although his voice was very soft, it still spread far in the lounge where you could clearly hear a pin drop.

"Didn't you say you didn't want to go?"

"Why, you're not welcome. It's rare to see you show off your power. Don't you want more people to see you?"

"Shhh, please keep your voice down, it will be bad if others find out that we secretly went on a night out, especially Pansy, she always likes to join in the fun."

Bang~ A desk lamp lit up in the corner of the lounge, illuminating a corner of the lounge. Along with it, there were two figures sitting on the sofa chairs, Andros and Pansy.

The latter was sullen and staring at Draco fiercely.

"Draco, you'd better consider your surroundings before you speak next time."

Andros looked at the dumbfounded Xiaolong with a look of helplessness.

Who made you open your mouth? You deserve it.

He arrived at the lounge one step ahead of Draco, and happened to meet Pansy who was also waiting in the lounge.

It seems that women are duplicitous creatures. What they say with their mouths is something else in their hearts.

Although she was laughing at Draco, she was also quite interested in the duel that was going to happen tonight.

The two briefly chatted for a few words, and then sat quietly on the chair waiting for Draco's arrival. Then, what happened just now happened.

"I thought Uncle Lucius had taught you not to speak ill of others behind their backs."

Pansy glared at Draco. Her fangs were very sharp, which gave her a special feeling when she spoke in anger.

How to put it, it just feels like a little tiger that hasn't grown up yet, or a little snake that has just grown its fangs.

"Ah~Pansy~What are you doing? Why are you here?"

Draco's face suddenly turned red, as if he had been caught red-handed doing something bad.

"Why are you still up so late?" he asked stammering.

"Hmph~ I want to watch the duel between you and Potter. Hurry up and lead the way." With a slight snort, the girl said commandingly.

"No, why do you keep going to see it? Didn't you say that children's duels were boring before?"

"Are you afraid that you will be embarrassed? Don't worry Draco, even if you really can't beat Potter, we won't laugh at you." Zabini's face was full of teasing.

"Zabini, even if you fart, you don't know who was knocked to the ground by my magic spell last time."

Hearing what Zabini said, Draco suddenly became anxious.

"That's because Andros's spell won't be tried again."

"Come on"

As they spoke, both men took out their wands from their robes and pointed them at each other.

"That's enough, you two guys, please be quiet." Seeing that the two were about to start a fight in the Slytherin lounge, Pansy yelled angrily.

"We are pressed for time. You can vent your unnecessary experiences there." He glanced at the two childish ghosts angrily. Andros walked out first, followed closely by Pansy. The girl followed Andros in strides. Ross walked into the dark corridor and soon disappeared.

Draco and Zabini looked at each other, then put away their wands and walked out through the dark stone doorway.

They quietly found their way out of the dark underground corridor, and then walked along the marble stairs to the fourth floor of the castle. The stairs were all asleep and would not move around like they did during the day.

The castle was dark at night, with only a few bleak moonlight shining in through the windows above the wall.

The portraits hanging on the walls on both sides have long been asleep. When you get closer, you can even hear the snoring of the characters in the portraits.

"I said, you know how to get there, right?" Pansy asked quietly, following closely behind a few people.

The girl looked around curiously. This must be her first night trip.

"Don't worry, I know where that place is. It's very close to the Charms classroom." Draco said to the girl carelessly.

"Don't go into the corridor that Dumbledore explicitly prohibited from entering. I'm still young and don't want to suffer an unexpected and painful death." Zabini complained.

"How is it possible? That corridor is far away from where we are going. I will never go wrong."

"Tell me, what's going to be in there?"

"Don't care, don't think, don't ask, what's in there has nothing to do with us." Andros warned.

"I know, I'm just curious."

Don't you know how the cat died?

Curiosity is often the beginning of seeking death.

If he didn't want to change Draco, he wouldn't have gone through this muddy water anyway.

"Hiss, boss, do you know what's in there?" A voice sounded from Andros's heart, that was Ivar's voice.

"Shut up, or I won't take you out next time."

Yes, Andros finally couldn't bear Ivar's nagging and took it out of the dormitory. Of course, after blessing it, it quickly became smaller.

Several people went up the stairs and soon arrived at the fourth floor of the castle. They were lucky enough to encounter nothing but a few lost armors along the way.

There were no ghosts, no professors on night watch, and no Filch and his damn smelly cat.

After passing through a corridor filled with armor, they successfully arrived at the trophy display room.

"Let me tell you, the door is never locked here." Draco opened the door excitedly, and the little snakes filed into the showroom.

This place is much larger than it looks from the outside, with crystal glass cabinets on both sides containing countless medals, trophies, shields and statues.

On the wall facing the door hangs an open roll of parchment, with names written on it in black ink. It is a list of past student presidents.

They arrived very early, and the savior Potter had not arrived yet, which caused this group of energetic little snakes to scatter around the room and explore, occasionally giggling because they discovered an interesting name.

Just as Andros continued to find out the names of familiar people from the medals, voices sounded outside the showroom door.

"I bet that disgusting Malfoy wouldn't dare come."
