Snakes at Hogwarts

In the cold, damp, dark underground corridor, Andros faced a damp stone wall.

Behind him, several friends who were traveling with him at night were standing there. The expressions on their faces could not be seen clearly in the dark corridor.

However, judging from their violent breathing, these little snakes were not at peace inside.

Even the thumping of their heartbeats could be clearly heard across several corridors.

Fortunately, it is late at night, and most people have already entered sweet dreams.

"Parseltongue."

After calming down his breathing, Andros spoke.

After hearing the correct password, the stone door hidden in the stone wall slowly opened, and the group of people walked in quickly.

The lights that came on in the lounge illuminated their faces, and their faces, which had turned red from running, were filled with the horror of the aftermath.

They sat slumped on the sofa chairs in the lounge, silent for a long time.

"I never knew there was such a big guy in the castle."

After a long time, Zabini said, his voice still sounded a little trembling, and his face still showed incredible panic.

No one could have imagined that behind the door of the restricted area on the fourth floor, there would be such a big dog with three heads.

"Merlin's stockings are at least as high as three stories high."

"Is Dumbledore crazy? He dares to keep such a dangerous thing in the castle."

"No, I must write to my father and tell him about this."

Draco's face showed a bloodless paleness, and he was also frightened.

The little dragon trembled and took out the quill pen originally intended to mark Potter's face from the pocket of his robe.

Judging from his posture, he probably wanted to take out the parchment and tell his father about this right now.

As for Pansy

This female man who usually showed off his power and was fearless was completely blank at this moment.

She collapsed on the sofa chair, her body still shaking instinctively from time to time.

Compared with the little snakes, Andros's condition seems to be relatively good. He can at least clearly remember the password to enter the lounge and the location of the lounge.

But that doesn't mean he's not scared at all.

Until now, his arms were still shaking. This was because his body's stress response after severe stimulation had not subsided.

Or, let’s put it in a more magical explanation.

The surging magic power was surging inside his body, so much so that it had not calmed down yet.

At this moment, Andros just wanted to say those four words silently in his heart.

Scared to death

If possible, he really didn't want to think about that experience just now.

But he doesn't know Occlumency and can't control his thoughts very well. At this moment, what just happened is playing in his mind like a slide.

After meeting Harry and his party, Andros and his party were in a bad situation.

On the one hand, the road they came from had been blocked by Filch and the armor that had been pushed while fleeing for their lives. There was no way back.

But on the other side, because of Ron, an idiot with a clear lack of IQ balance in his head, they completely pissed off Peeves.

The latter was yelling in that corridor, which not only severely blocked their path, but also became a beacon guiding their direction.

As long as Filch wasn't a hopeless fool like Ron Weasley, he would definitely rush over here quickly when he heard Peeves's shout.

There isn't much time left for them.

A decision must be made.

"Follow me, let's go to that corridor"

Andros quickly made up his mind, he's never been one. Are you crazy?" Draco's eyes widened.

He didn't expect that Andros had been thinking hard here for so long before he came up with such a bad idea.

Could this guy have been driven insane by Filch and Peeves?

Draco even thought a little worriedly.

"Rather than encounter an accident and die a painful death, I would rather be caught by Filch, so that at least I can keep my body intact."

Zabini responded angrily as well.

"You really believed the nonsense Dumbledore said at the opening party."

At this point, Andros could only make up lies.

He had to find a way to convince these guys to follow him into the corridor to escape Filch's pursuit.

It doesn't matter if they were caught wandering at night, but I'm different.

Don't forget, he took a giant python that had been cast a shrinking spell out for a walk tonight.

Moreover, Andros was worried about leaving Ivar somewhere.

This is a very irresponsible approach, and there is no doubt that Bolch would not carefully search every crevice to see if there is any hidden little wizard.

If Filch really discovered it, it would be great fun.

Moreover, with Andros's current level of magic, the shrinking spell he released would never last for a whole night.

In less than half a night, this little guy, which is now only the length of a hand, will grow back to a full body of nearly eight meters in length.

There's no way to hide it

Therefore, you must not leave Ivar somewhere and come back to find him the next day.

"Think about it carefully, how could Dumbledore store some dangerous things in the castle?"

Looking at the little snakes who looked suspicious, Andros continued to fool around.

"Okay, even if he really stored something dangerous, then I ask you, why did he tell all the students publicly in the auditorium?"

"Why don't you secretly find a secret room where no one will find you?"

What he said seemed to make some sense.

Andros' words made the little snakes present think.

"Don't he know that those curious Gryffindors like to commit suicide the most?"

"They will definitely be unable to control their legs and run over to find out."

"Who are you talking about? You like to seek death?"

Ron refused to admit defeat and retorted. This stupid guy didn't seem to understand the current situation.

"Why, do you want to continue to be beaten? Believe it or not, I will tie you up and throw you here?"

Ron stopped talking immediately. He was not that stupid.

"Why not give it a try? If there is really any danger, I bet that the door will be firmly blocked by magic, and we may not be able to open it at all."

"Ender's right, we need to try anyway."

To Andros's great relief, Pansy spoke for him.

"But if there is really any danger there."

Zabini still looked hesitant.

"Then do you have a better idea, Brian?"

"No, I, well, let's go there and have a look."

"You guys, if you don't want to be caught by Filch, you'd better come with us."

After one last glance at the Gryffindors, Andros gave a "kind" reminder, and then led everyone towards the corridor on the right side of the fourth floor.

"Harry, are we going to follow?"

Ron asked softly as he watched Slytherin quickly leave.

"We have no other choice."

Harry finally decided to enter the corridor that was classified as a restricted area with the Slytherins.

Several people ran a few steps and caught up with the group of Slytherins who had not gone far.

It didn't take them long to find the corridor.

In fact, this corridor, which is sealed by a heavy wooden door, is not far from the corridor where the Charms classroom is located. On weekdays, students often pass by this place when going to and from class.

It's just that I have never heard of any curious little wizard willing to die to open this door.

Andros walked at the front. He looked at the closed door, gently held the round brass door handle and twisted it hard. The door did not move at all.

"Look, I told you, this place will definitely be locked up."

Ignoring Zabini's words, Andros took a step back and pulled out the magic spell from the inside of his robe.

"Arajo Hole Open"

The sound of a machine moving came from the keyhole of the wooden door.

The closed door opened.
