[HP] When the Sword Fairy traveled to Hogwarts
Chapter 5 The Zoo
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong..."
The knocking on the door sounded rhythmically, with a pause after every three knocks and then three more knocks.
Bai Lu immediately guessed that Mr. Jones was here. After all, he was the only one knocking on the door in such a gentlemanly manner, and Aunt Maggie would only bang the door.
Harry ran to open the door before Bai Lu could react. Outside the door was Mr. Jones, who was wearing a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"Good morning, Mr. Potter." Mr. Jones greeted Harry with a smile. He was not surprised that it was Harry who opened the door. In fact, it was almost every time.
"Good morning, Mr. Jones." Harry scratched his head and smiled shyly.
Harry was a bit shy about being called sir, but with Mr. Jones, he felt respected, even though he was just a kid, and he loved it.
Harry turned aside to let Mr. Jones in. After Mr. Jones greeted the Dursleys one by one, he looked at Bai Lu.
"Miss Bai, can we leave now?"
"Of course," Bai Lu nodded, and then said goodbye to the Dursleys. As expected, they did not respond.
Bai Lu shrugged, not caring, and pulled Harry into the back seat of the car.
Mr. Jones in the driver's seat turned sideways and asked, "Where do you want to go this time?"
"Go to the zoo," Bai Lu replied without thinking.
After saying that, Bai Lu realized, isn't the zoo the place where Dudley went on his birthday in the original book?
That was one of Harry's rare outings in the original book, which made Harry discover that he could talk to snakes. Harry was also locked in a room by the Dursleys for a long time because he let the python go.
Originally, Bai Lu had no idea where to go today, but something influenced her and made her decide to go to the zoo.
There aren't many people who can affect her existence.
Bai Lu raised her eyebrows, vaguely making some guesses.
Soon, the zoo arrived. After Mr. Jones bought the tickets for them, Bai Lu declined his idea of accompanying them and took Harry, who was very interested, for a walk.
It was a sunny weekend and the zoo was packed with families. At the entrance, Bai Lu bought a large chocolate ice cream for Harry and ordered a vanilla one for herself.
The coolness brought by the ice cream was a good solution to the heat caused by the strong sun, and Harry squinted his eyes with satisfaction.
After wandering around, I came to the Reptile House. The museum is cold and dark, with bright glass windows along the four walls. Through the glass, I could see all kinds of lizards and snakes crawling and sauntering on the wood or stones.
As expected, the Dursleys and Peel were also here.
Dudley was observing the largest python in the museum. It could wrap its body around Uncle Vernon's car twice, and then squeeze the car into a pile of scrap metal... But it seemed that it had no such intention at this time. It fell asleep It's so fragrant.
Harry also saw them. Not wanting his outing to be ruined, he quietly moved away and stayed in an inconspicuous corner.
Dudley pressed his nose against the glass, staring at the shiny brown python.
"Let it move," Dudley grunted and begged his father. Uncle Vernon knocked on the glass, but the python didn't move.
"Knock again," Dudley ordered. Uncle Vernon rapped his knuckles on the glass, but the boa constrictor continued to doze.
"It's so annoying," Dudley complained, shuffling away slowly.
Harry saw him go away and breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly walked to the big cabinet where the python was and looked at the python carefully.
Harry wouldn't be surprised if it ended up unhappy here. Because it has no partners, just some stupid guy banging his fingers on the glass all day trying to wake it up.
It could have lived freely in the huge forest, but now it can only stay in this small glass cabinet.
Harry felt that his experience with the python was similar, but not completely similar, because he had Bai Lu by his side, and he couldn't believe what kind of life he would live without her.
At this moment, the python suddenly opened its bright little eyes and slowly raised its head until it was as high as Harry's eyes.
It blinked.
Harry was horrified. He immediately glanced around quickly, wanting to tell Bai Lu what he had discovered, but he did not see her figure in the vast sea of people.
Harry was not panicked. He and Bai Lu had agreed a long time ago that when they accidentally got separated, he would just stand there and wait for her to come find him. She would always find him quickly every time. He believed that this This time will be no exception.
Harry also found that no one noticed the python's actions. He turned back to look at the python and blinked at it.
The python jerked its head towards Uncle Vernon and Dudley, then looked up at the ceiling. Its eyes were clearly saying to Harry, "I run into people like them all the time."
"I know," Harry whispered through the glass, although he wasn't sure the python could hear him. "That must be annoying to you." The python nodded vigorously.
"So, where are you from?" Harry asked.
The giant python swung its tail and slapped a small sign on the glass window. Harry looked carefully.
Python, Brazil.
"Isn't it nice over there?"
The giant python swung its tail and slapped the sign again, and Harry continued to read: This is a sample bred in this zoo.
"Oh, I understand. So you've never been to Brazil?"
The python was shaking its head in reply, when a deafening shout suddenly came from behind Harry, and both Harry and the python were startled.
"Dudley! Mr. Dursley! Come and see this snake! You won't believe what it's doing!"
Dudley swaggered over to Piers.
Harry took advantage of the shelter of the tall adult figure next to him and quickly hid in a corner.
What happened next was so sudden that no one could tell what happened. Pierre and Dudley were seen clinging to the glass for a moment, and then they were terrified, yelling, and jumping back.
From Harry's position, he could clearly see that the glass in front of the python cabinet was missing.
The giant snake quickly uncoiled its coiled body and slid to the floor. The entire reptile house screamed and ran for the exit.
When the python slipped past Harry, Harry clearly heard a hissing voice saying softly: "Brazil, I'm here...Thank you, my friend."
The keeper of the reptile house was shocked.
"But this glass," he kept mumbling, "where did this glass go?"
Harry didn't know what happened next, because he had already been held by Bai Lu's hand and escaped from the reptile house, which was like a pot of porridge.
When they reached an open place, Bai Lu stopped, put her hands on Harry's shoulders, and checked Harry's whole body. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found that except for his clothes, which were a little messy, he was not injured.
Not long after Bai Lu entered the reptile house, she accidentally knocked over a little boy's building block toy. The scattered building blocks were scattered on the floor, and the little boy suddenly burst into tears.
She had no choice but to pick up all the building blocks and quickly change the toys back to their original appearance. Only then did the little boy stop crying.
When she came to her senses and looked for Harry, something unexpected happened. She picked up Harry, who was still dazed, and ran out. She was afraid that the Dursleys would see that Harry was also there and suspect that he was causing trouble.
Harry was a little absent-minded and said squeakingly: "Lu, don't you ask me what happened just now?"
Bai Lu took Harry to the rest area and sat down face to face, holding her chin up and looking at Harry, "Then are you willing to speak? As long as you speak, I will listen."
Harry clasped his palms tangledly, then suddenly leaned up and got closer to Bai Lu. The wind stirred up by the excessive movement moved the hair on the side of her face, making it slightly itchy.
Harry whispered in her ear: "I just talked to the python. It seems that I accidentally broke the glass."
Harry's words became softer and quieter, and in the end they were almost inaudible. As soon as he finished speaking, he sat back obediently, not daring to look at Bai Lu's reaction. He just lowered his head and looked at the table, as if he could see the flowers. Similar.
Bai Lu burst out laughing, rubbed Harry's hair that was standing up restlessly, held his face, stared into the eyes that were the same color as hers, and said unhurriedly: "Harry , it’s no big deal.”
Harry's dim green eyes lit up for a moment, but he hesitated again, "Don't you think I'm a freak?"
"How could it be?" Bai Lu quickly rejected his idea, "You just mastered things that others can't learn. This is your talent. What's more, you didn't do anything wrong."
Bai Lu spread her hand, condensed a snowflake in her palm, handed it to Harry, who looked surprised, and asked him jokingly: "Then do you think I'm a freak?"
"Of course not," Harry denied immediately. He had always known that Bai Lu was special and had magical powers, but this was the first time he felt it intuitively.
The snowflakes in the hand are ice cold, and if you look closely, there seems to be blue light flowing. Even if it is in the warm palm, it will not melt, but will exude a bit of coldness.
Looking at Bai Lu who was watching him tenderly, Harry's frown gradually relaxed and a smile appeared on his face again.
He doesn't care about other people's opinions, he only cares about her, and her approval is enough for him.
