Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

Just when William was imagining things, he suddenly heard Aesop shout: "Be careful!"

Immediately afterwards, he felt himself being pulled by the collar and thrown far away.

Caught off guard, William had no time to react and fell solidly to the ground.

He got up and was about to curse when he saw Aesop standing there, facing a huge figure like a hill alone - it was a snake-like monster that looked bigger than the Mayflower, with a head on its head. A huge blue gem shimmered.

Horned water snake!It actually appeared!

William was confused for a while. Did Aesop's summons really work?Simply incredible!

The long-horned water snake stretched its huge head towards Aesop. William didn't know if it was because of his own dazzling eyes. He saw a trace of confusion, a trace of exploration and a trace of intimacy in the eyes of the long-horned water snake? !

Visual inspection showed that the thickest part of the long-horned water snake's body was more than one meter in diameter. Faced with such a huge body, Aesop seemed to be frightened.

Aesop stared at the horned water snake tensely, as if all the blood in her body was about to freeze. She had never felt that death was so close to her.

The long-horned water snake circled Aesop several times and soon entangled Aesop in the middle, but Aesop's shocked expression remained unchanged.

At this time, the sapphire on the head of the horned water snake flashed a few times, and Aesop felt that the horned water snake seemed to be exuding kindness towards her.

'Are you calling me? A hissing sound reached Aesop's ears, but she finally understood what it meant.

'Are you the horned water snake? 'Aesop couldn't help but ask - she regretted it after asking. Isn't this nonsense?

'Answer my question, human! 'The horned water snake's long letter was spitting on Aesop's face.

'I was indeed calling for the horned water snake, and I sincerely apologize if I offended you. 'Aesop said quickly.

'What did you summon me for? 'The horned water snake was not surprised that Aesop could communicate with it.

'I just wanted to see it. 'Aesop said truthfully.

'Interesting isn't it?For you humans, huge creatures like me are not common~' The horned water snake circled Aesop a few more times, as if it wanted to take a closer look at this "brave" human girl.

'I have a strange feeling that we are familiar, or should be familiar. 'Aesop could see that the horned water snake had no ill intentions toward him, and his tense nerves gradually relaxed.

'I can sense the blood of my close relatives in you. The sapphire on the horned water snake's head flashed, as if confirming something.

'Sorry, I don't quite understand. 'Aesop doesn't think she is a monster. She is a real human being. How could she have the blood of a close relative of the horned water snake? Doesn't that mean her ancestors may be snakes?

'Interesting, very interesting. 'The horned water snake said excitedly, 'Humans are really a magical creature. In order to obtain the abilities of snakes, they actually want to fuse the blood of snakes into their bodies. '

'Are you saying I'm a guinea pig? 'Aesop felt shuddering.

'No, it should be your ancestors who once conducted similar experiments with their own blood. 'The Horned Water Snake said, 'I'm not sure whether he succeeded in the end, but there is no doubt that the snake blood in your blood is derived from the inheritance of your ancestor. '

'It's so crazy! ’ Aesop was stunned. No matter who the ancestor the horned water snake was talking about, Aesop felt fear from the bottom of his heart.

Theoretically, she also has this crazy bloodline. Will that madness be passed on to her?

"Aesop, are you okay?" William's trembling voice came to his ears. He had the courage to ask after seeing that the horned water snake had not attacked Aesop for a long time.

If Dean knew that he watched Aesop being killed by the horned water snake, he would definitely not let him off lightly.

"William, I'm fine." Aesop's calm voice came from the snake's coiled body, making William breathe a sigh of relief.

"Aesop, I heard a hissing sound...are you okay?" William asked worriedly.

Due to his height limitation, he could no longer see Aesop at all.

"Hiss, hiss?" Aesop asked in confusion: "It's obviously the horned water snake communicating with me. Why do you hear hiss?"

"You said you can understand the horned water snake?" William asked in surprise.

"Didn't you hear?" Aesop was also a little confused. She originally thought it was the special ability of this long-horned water snake.

William's face became serious, and he remembered a legend spread among human wizards: Parseltongue.

Although William actually comes from Europe, where wizarding civilization is developed, he has only heard about this special ability, and has never heard of any wizard actually being a Parselmouth.

It is said that it is the unique ability of the great Salazar Slytherin. Only heirs recognized by him can become Parseltongues.

If Aesop didn't lie...then her choice to come to the New World might have been a mistake, and Slytherin House at Hogwarts was her best destination.

'What are you communicating with that goblin? 'The horned water snake asked curiously.

'Nothing, he's just weird that I can communicate with you. ' Aesop explained simply.

'That's the power of blood.The snake blood in your body gives you the qualification and ability to communicate directly with me. ' said the horned water snake.

'It's a pity I can't tell him the reason. 'Aesop smiled bitterly, she didn't want to be regarded as a monster by William.

'That's your business. The long-horned water snake relaxed its body as it spoke, "That's it for today. I can't stay in one place for too long."If you still want to see me, come back another day. '

'Why are you in such a hurry to leave? 'Aesop said puzzledly.

After the long-horned water snake tapped William, who was still thinking, with its tail, it quickly got into the lake and left. Aesop could see clearly that after the long-horned water snake circled in the lake, it walked along the lake. Following a stream upstream, the huge figure quickly disappeared from sight.

"I understand, you have the blood of the Gaunt family. The Gaunt family is the only remaining descendant of Slytherin, so it is theoretically possible for you to be able to speak Parseltongue. However, this unique ability has not been available in Gauntlet for a long time. It has appeared in the special family!" William said thoughtfully.

"Wait a minute, you said my ability to communicate with the horned water snake is Parseltongue?" Aesop said in surprise.

She never thought she had this ability.

"Only Parseltongue can communicate with snakes." William wondered why Aesop didn't even have this bit of common sense.

"So that's it. No wonder the horned water snake said that it comes from the power of blood." Aesop's face suddenly stiffened when he said this, and he looked at William with a strange expression: "How do you know that you have the blood of the Gaunt family? I don't know. I remember telling you that there is a goblin far away in the New World, how could he know about Slytherin and the Gaunt family?"
