Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

"Aesop, where are you going?" When he woke up early in the morning, William saw that Aesop was preparing to leave secretly, and couldn't help but ask.

"William? Why did you wake up so early today?" Aesop was a little embarrassed.

"I just can't sleep - looking at your dress, you plan to travel far away?" William was a little angry, but Aesop didn't plan to call him!

"Well, I want to see the horned water snake again." Aesop said, "I see that you resisted going to the lake yesterday, so you are going to go alone."

For a moment, William even hoped that Aesop would never come back, so that he could leave Aesop openly.

After Aesop fell asleep last night, William suddenly found that the suitcase containing the mini alchemy laboratory suddenly appeared next to him, with a small note containing Dean's information pressed next to it.The boss asked him to find a chance to leave Aesop on his own.

That was the message Dean left for William in a hurry before he was captured by Snape for the second devil training.

Dean didn't know that his message coincided with William's plan.

"Are you sure it's okay to go alone?" William asked hypocritically.

"If you don't mind, it's best to accompany me." Aesop said politely, but William didn't know how to answer.

He was seriously considering, if he refused directly, would Aesop feel that he had planned it after he left?

But if he doesn't refuse, he will probably face the long-horned water snake that scares him from the bottom of his heart.

"Are you embarrassed?" Aesop didn't expect that his polite words would bother William so much, so he quickly said, "Forget it, you can go shopping by yourself today."

"No, I'll go with you." William thought for a moment. This place is actually not far from the lake. Theoretically, the horned water snake may also appear nearby. In case Aesop didn't see the horned water snake, he let him Encountering... The scene was so terrifying that William couldn't even imagine it.

So staying away from this area is the safest option.

William couldn't help but be secretly angry. It turned out that Aesop had long planned to see the horned water snake again, so he found various excuses to stay nearby yesterday.

"Since you don't mind, then take action quickly." Aesop also secretly cried out that she was unlucky. She had never seen William so active.

It seemed that William was not as afraid of the horned water snake as he said.

William simply packed up and followed Aesop with his suitcase.

In this way, with a serious lack of tacit understanding, the two teamed up again to the place where they last saw the long-horned water snake at the lake.

"Wait a minute." William climbed up a tall tree, covered himself with dense leaves, and then said to Aesop: "Now you can call the big snake!"

Aesop was a bit dumbfounded. Is that so?

If the horned water snake really had any ill intentions towards them, it would have attacked them long ago!

However, it was difficult for Aesop to understand William's brain circuit. Seeing that he had already hidden himself, he started calling the horned water snake in Parseltongue.

A hissing sound came from Aesop's mouth, and the bad feeling from yesterday enveloped William again.

When Aesop uses Parseltongue, William has the illusion that there is a terrifying snake hidden in Aesop's body, which may choose people to eat at any time.

Only then did William realize that what he was afraid of was not the horned water snake, but Aesop!

Why is this happening?William was puzzled.

Fortunately, Dean's message to him last night reassured him a lot. At least Dean was nearby. If there was any danger, I believe Dean would not stand idly by.

What William didn't know was that Dean was being ruthlessly tortured by Snape's cruel teachings. Although the suitcase containing the mini-alchemy laboratory was next to William, Dean had no time to check the situation outside.

They did not wait too long. Shortly after Aesop called for the long-horned water snake, a stream leading to the lake suddenly rolled, and then a long-horned water snake that was as long as a human arm appeared in front of Aesop.

Aesop and William were both shocked. Did they fall into a snake's den?Why is the horned water snake summoned different every time?

Compared with the one from yesterday, this miniature version of the long-horned water snake looks like a cute pet.

"If I had known it was such a small water snake, what would I have been afraid of?" William grumbled and jumped down from the tree.

The deceptively small figure of this long-horned water snake gave William the confidence to handle it easily.

"Hello, may I ask where the horned water snake was yesterday?" Aesop asked in Parseltongue.

She thought this miniature long-horned water snake was a descendant of the one from yesterday.

"What? If I change a little bit, you won't recognize it?" After the mini horned water snake finished speaking sarcastically, it began to expand rapidly under Aesop's eyes, and its size became as huge as yesterday in the blink of an eye.

At this time, William jumped down from the tree and just landed on the swollen body of the horned water snake. As soon as he touched the smooth scales, he immediately rolled his eyes and fainted desperately.

"It's so cunning... actually using a trick to lure the enemy..." This was William's last thought before he fell into coma.

"Huh? Is it you? You can actually change your body at will?" Aesop was also frightened.

"What a useless guy." The long-horned water snake glanced sideways at William, who was foaming at the mouth, and then its body began to shrink again, turning into a mini version again in a few breaths.

"Sorry, I don't mean to offend, but I want to know, are all the horned water snakes like you, able to change the size of their bodies at will?" Aesop checked and found that William just fainted from fright, and asked with relief.

"Of course... no. As far as I know, I am the only one who has this ability." The horned water snake's tone did not have any pride, but instead brought a little sadness.

"You are really a special one." Aesop couldn't help but exclaimed.

Even wizards rarely have control over their size.

"Special? That's right. But I would rather not have this special ability." The horned water snake said.

"Why? I think you are very powerful!" Aesop admired sincerely.

"Let's not talk about it for now." The horned water snake changed the topic, "What do you want to see me for this time?"

Aesop was curious: "Didn't you hint yesterday that I would come to see you again?"

"I didn't say that." After the horned water snake finished speaking seriously, it crawled around Aesop twice more.

"Strange, I obviously heard it." Aesop was a little confused.

"Okay, I did 'said' something similar." The horned water snake finally seemed to confirm something, and the sapphire on its head flashed a few times before admitting.

"Why did you deny it just now?" Aesop didn't understand what the horned water snake was thinking.

"Because I didn't say these words to you in snake language at that time, but conveyed them to you through the power of blood." The long-horned water snake explained: "Only if you sense my words through blood, can you prove that you are the one I want." People who are waiting.”
