Hogwarts lazy snake

Along a suburban street in Cokeworth, a dirty river gurgles and emits a foul smell.

Suddenly, a sharp brake sound broke the silence here, and a bus appeared abruptly on the side of the street like a ghost.

The car door slowly opened, and a tall figure covered in a black robe slowly got out of the car.

The black robe seemed to isolate him from the entire world, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

"Welcome aboard next time!" Sandberg smiled and waved his hand, then with a "click", he closed the door, and the wizard bus disappeared at the end of the street like a gust of wind.

After the black-robed figure got off the car, the ragged, unkempt people on the street immediately fixed their eyes on him.

There were even some people in pairs pointing at him, with greed revealed in their eyes without any concealment.

"Boy, the place where you, a professor, live is really a 'good place'." A voice came from under the black robe.

"Hei Si, is what you said really okay? Also, you really don't remember why you fell into a coma?" Another voice sounded under the black robe.

"Haha~ Uncle Hei Si, I've said it many times. After you went out that day, I was so sleepy that I fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already yesterday." Hei Si's voice came again.

"In that case, why do you say you are back? Doesn't this show that you are conscious?" the voice continued to ask.

The two voices under the black robe sounded particularly strange in this slightly gloomy street. Some people who originally wanted to approach the black robe were frightened and took a few steps back, but there were still some people who did not believe in it and continued to approach with a fierce look.

"It looks like someone is treating us like an easy target." There was a hint of caution in Horn's voice.

"Haha~ You are the one who is weak, not your uncle Hei Si!" Hei Si said bluntly.

The eyes under the black robe were fixed on those people who obviously had bad intentions. They were constantly approaching him, and some of them even couldn't wait to take out their wands.

At this moment, one person seemed to be afraid that someone else would seize the initiative, and his originally slow approaching steps suddenly quickened, then turned into a fast run, and finally rushed towards the black robe like a sprint.

"Bang!" A muffled sound was heard.

When those who were originally moving towards the black robe saw someone rushing over, those who wanted to get ahead also quickened their pace, and some even raised their wands directly to point at the black robe. Of course, there were also people who pointed their wands at the person who rushed over.

However, the fastest one was the man in black robes whom they regarded as their prey.

He just raised his hand and waved it, and then there was a sound. The man who had been rushing towards the black robe suddenly stopped, then took a step forward slowly, and then fell to the ground with a "thump".

Although those who were originally preparing to take action did not know what was happening, this did not prevent them from turning around and fleeing at a much faster speed than when they besieged the black robes.

"Sure enough, the seven-step outside gun is fast, and the seven-step inside gun is both fast and accurate." Horn said softly.

"Boy, you're not very magical, you know that? If Ambot knew about this, he would jump out of the grave and give you a 'big melon bite'!" Hei Si quacked.

"Yeah, I'm so scared. By the way, speaking of this, do you know where our ancestors are buried?" Horn asked.

"Of course I know it. It was just... just... Oh, why can't I remember it? It's strange."

Hei Si was halfway through his sentence when he realized that he couldn't think of anything at all, and said with some annoyance.

"I guess you just have no memory." Horn said helplessly.

Then, the man in black robe walked up to a person near the garbage dump and asked, "Do you know where the end of Spider Alley is?"

The person being questioned curled up into a ball, his body shaking constantly. He stretched out his trembling hand and pointed in a direction.

"Thank you, this is a token of appreciation!" The man in black robe threw a copper kart into the other party's arms, then walked in the direction the other party pointed without looking back.

As he walked, he looked around. The houses here were dark and old, as if forgotten by time, exuding a sense of desolation that had been deserted for many years.

Rows of houses are closely connected, and the air is filled with all kinds of unpleasant smells.

Finally, the man in black robe walked to a house. He looked up at the house number and said softly, "Okay, you go back first."

"Ha ha~ Tsk, you asked me so many questions along the way, and now that you don't need me anymore you send me back. You're no different from that scumbag you mentioned." Hei Si complained.

The man in black robes walked to the door and knocked gently. Soon, the door opened and Snape, dressed in black, appeared at the door.

Snape looked at the man in black robe outside the door. A hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes. He seemed to have thought of something in an instant, and his hand unconsciously reached for his wand.

Just then, the man in black robe spoke.

"Professor, it's me. I'm here to get something."

Hearing this voice, Snape looked at the black-robed man who was about the same height as himself, and a nameless anger surged in his heart. He really wanted to draw out his wand and shoot a sharp shot at the other party: "Oh, it seems that our Mr. Nicholas likes standing outside the door very much. Then you should stand there for a while."

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the house without looking back, leaving only his back to Horn.

"No, no, I'll be in right now." Horn said quickly.

As he spoke, he walked into the house and after closing the door, the height of the black robe kept shrinking as he walked forward, and finally stopped when it was almost half the size.

Then, a pair of small hands stretched out from under the black robe, and he took off the hood on his head, revealing Horn's face.

After Horn took off his hood, he explained the reason for his attire while taking in his surroundings: "Professor, I am dressed like this to prevent danger. As you know, it is not very safe here."

Inside Snape's house, all four walls were lined with books, many of which were bound with old black or brown leather belts.

There was a worn-out sofa, an old armchair and a rickety table in the room, and the light came from candle lamps hanging from the ceiling, making the whole room look gloomy and mysterious.

"My Mr. Nicholas, you seem to be very experienced. It seems that you have been to dangerous places many times. It seems that you are not as good a boy as Mag said."

As Snape spoke, he walked to a table full of bottles and jars and began to fiddle with some potion ingredients.

"Why don't you come over and deal with these materials?" Snape frowned and raised his voice when he saw Horn still standing there.

As he spoke, he placed a can of worms in front of Horn.
