Hogwarts lazy snake

Horn left Hogwarts in the evening, riding in a carriage that slowly drove away from the campus.

He entered the carriage of Yeqi's carriage. The first thing that caught his eye was darkness, but as his eyes gradually adjusted, he could see that the interior decoration of the carriage was very luxurious.

The seats were made of black velvet, soft and comfortable, embroidered with exquisite silver patterns, the patterns of which echoed the carvings on the frame and might be symbols of the same mysterious power.

There were several blue crystal chandeliers hanging on the walls of the carriage. The light from the crystal chandeliers was very soft, but it was enough to illuminate the entire carriage. In a corner of the carriage, there was a small black wooden cabinet with complex magic runes carved on it, and some items were stored inside.

As Horne looked at all this, he couldn't help but complain: "Dumbledore said he would take me home, but something happened and he asked me to go back in a carriage."

At the same time, he recalled the scene when he met Ye Qi.

When Horn saw the carriage, his previous dissatisfaction disappeared. The overall outline of the carriage was like a huge and mysterious black beetle.

The car body is wrapped in a black metal that looks thick and exudes a cold luster.

The ones pulling the cart are Yeqi. They are tall, with black fur without any other colors, blood-red eyes that reveal their wildness, blue flames around their hooves, and they can fly by spreading their black wings.

When Ye Qi, the rickshaw driver, saw Horn, a different light seemed to flash in his eyes, and a feeling of intimacy arose spontaneously.

It slowly approached Horn and rubbed its head gently against Horn's body, as if greeting an old friend who had not been seen for a long time.

Horn did not dodge. He reached out and gently stroked Ye Qi's neck.

Horn was not surprised at all to see Ye Qi. After all, he had died once.

In the evening sky, the carriage was flying driven by Ye Qi.

Horn looked out the car window at the city view below.

In the city, Muggles' houses are lined up one after another. At this time, every household has turned on the lights, and those lights gathered together like a warm orange ocean.

The streets were crowded with cars, which were crawling slowly on the road like tiny beetles, their headlights casting long rays of light in the darkening sky.

In the distance, tall buildings stand. Under the setting sun, their glass curtain walls reflect an orange-red glow. The neon lights on the tops of some buildings are already flashing, adding a touch of brilliant color to the city.

Horn looked at all this and a strange feeling surged in his heart. He was curious about the prosperous world created by Muggles, and at the same time, he had a sense of detached loneliness because he was in the magical world.

He knew very well that he lived in the same world as these Muggles, but had completely different life trajectories. This feeling made him fall into a brief contemplation.

Horn was sitting in the night carriage in the evening sky.

His thoughts drifted back to what Dumbledore had told him.

At the year-end dinner, something unexpected happened to everyone. According to their expectations, Gryffindor would definitely win the house cup.

However, the final result was jaw-dropping, as the house cup continued to fall into the hands of Slytherin.

The reason was something Horn could never have imagined. Hearing Dumbledore say that Harry, Hermione, Ron, Neville and others actually stood up and asked Dumbledore to give Slytherin extra points.

Their request was eventually accepted by Dumbledore and successfully gave Slytherin enough points to win the House Cup.

Horn thought again about his grades this semester.

He took out the parchment report card from his arms, and almost all the grades on it were "O" (excellent).

Under normal circumstances, this would definitely be something worth cheering for.

But he couldn't be happy at all because he saw traces of erasures on the results of the Potions column.

It originally said "E" (good), but it was crossed out and changed to "O", then it was crossed out and "E" was written again, and finally the grade was fixed at "O".

Horn's eyes twitched as he looked at the results that had been repeatedly corrected.

There was no doubt that it was because of Harry, but the whole process made Horn feel a little bit amused.

As the carriage continued to fly, the sky became darker and darker, and when he finally saw Nicholas Manor, it was completely dark.

The manor is surrounded by a low fence made of ordinary wood. After years of baptism, the color of the wood is a little mottled.

There is a simple wooden door at the entrance of the manor, with the paint peeling a little, showing its age.

Walk into the manor along the path paved with pebbles, with lush grass on both sides. Occasionally, you can see a few wild flowers swaying in the wind, as if nodding to passers-by.

There are several tall oak trees not far away, their branches and leaves intertwined together, like a huge green umbrella, casting a large shadow at night. There is a small swing under the tree.

The main building of the manor is a two-story building with white exterior walls, but due to wind and sun, there are some stains and cracks on the walls.

The roof is covered with red tiles, the windows are not big, and there is some dust on the glass. It can be seen that there is a clean person at home who is tidying up. Through the window, you can see the warm light inside, which is the family waiting for his return.

There is a small garden in front of the building, where various common flowers are planted, including roses, daisies and sunflowers.

The petals of the roses were somewhat withered, the daisies were shivering in the wind, and the sunflowers were lowering their heads as if they were thinking about something.

There were a few butterflies flying among the flowers, their wings gleaming faintly in the dim light of the night.

The carriage slowly landed in the open space in front of the manor. Horn got off the carriage, his heart filled with longing for home and a warm sense of belonging.

When Horn jumped off the carriage, he said goodbye to Ye Qi. Ye Qi looked at Horn, and kept digging his hooves. The blue flames around his hooves left blue marks on the ground with his movements, and he looked very reluctant to leave.

Horn stroked Ye Qi's head to comfort her. His voice was soft and gentle: "We'll see you next time."

Then Horn said that he used to take the bus to Hogwarts when he was in school. Ye Qi seemed to understand what Horn said, and rubbed his hand with his head. Then he turned around reluctantly and gradually disappeared into the night.

Then, Horn shouted happily: "Dad, Mom, your good son is back!"

As he ran towards the gate, his face was filled with excitement and anticipation, and his steps were as brisk as a bird returning to its nest.

But just as Horn was about to knock on the door, it opened quickly and silently.

Before Horn could react, he saw his father Stock covering his mouth with his hand and whispering in his ear, telling him not to speak so loudly and to speak softly.

Horn had a puzzled look on his face, his eyes full of confusion.

Just as he was about to ask why, his father Stock pulled him in and carefully closed the door.
