Hogwarts lazy snake

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is Halloween Eve.

The whole Hogwarts seemed to be under a spell, it was extremely lively and everyone was carefully preparing their costumes.

It all stems from Horn's creepy and weird groom outfit last year. The look looked like something out of the deepest nightmare, adding a bit of horror from the Muggle world to the already gloomy environment of Hogwarts.

From then on, the Halloween party seemed to have been ignited and gradually evolved into a large-scale horror competition.

Look, nowadays students dress themselves in strange ways, and with the magical effect of magic, the terrifying atmosphere is about to overflow from the castle.

In a corner of the castle, spider webs, bats, pumpkin lanterns, etc. densely cover the walls and ceiling, as if this is a mysterious forbidden place forgotten by time.

Draco and his two followers were standing here. All three of them dressed themselves up as ghosts. Draco's outfit was extremely exquisite, and he looked like a vengeful spirit from a dark legend.

His two little followers were dressed up as wild boars, which looked quite scary at first glance.

"Where on earth did Horn go? He has been missing all day."

Draco frowned and muttered in confusion, his eyes still searching around.

Suddenly, he saw a few familiar figures not far away and walked over quickly.

"Hey, have you noticed that the ghosts in the castle run away when they see us recently. What's going on?"

Ron's voice came over. He was discussing this strange phenomenon enthusiastically with Harry and others.

Harry scratched his head and was about to speak when Hermione looked at him with a gleam in her eyes, as if she suddenly understood something and said with a smile:

"I guess it's because of the talismans Horn gave us. Have you forgotten? George and Fred always use the talismans to play tricks on ghosts. Now the ghosts may think we are in the same group with them."

Harry realized what was going on when he heard it. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Haha, that's not bad. Now even Peeves will run away when he sees us. We don't have to worry about being teased by him anymore."

At this time, Draco happened to walk over and heard their conversation. He asked hurriedly, "Have you seen Horn? I've been looking for him all day."

Hermione shook her head and said, "We didn't see him either. We didn't even see him when we went to the Room of Requirement at noon."

Just as everyone was talking, there was a sudden noise from the front, as if something strange had happened.

Everyone looked at each other and immediately ran towards the direction of the sound, full of curiosity.

When they arrived, the corridor was already crowded with a group of students, all talking in a buzzing voice.

"Look, it looks like someone has been petrified, just like Mrs. Norris before!" A junior student shouted in horror.

"And there are words on the wall!" another student echoed.

Harry and the others looked in the direction they pointed, and saw a string of chilling words written on the wall: "The Chamber of Secrets has been opened, the heir of Slytherin has returned, and he will drive out all wizards except pure-bloods!"

The words looked as if they were written in blood, and they seemed to carry a mysterious magic that made people shudder.

"Disperse!" At this time, Professor McGonagall's majestic voice came from the other side of the crowd.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Harry and the others squeezed to the front, and only then did they see clearly that the person who was petrified was Colin.

He still maintained the posture of holding the camera, as if he was capturing some wonderful moment, but was frozen in time, just like Mrs. Norris whom they saw last time, standing there motionless, like a cold stone statue.

"Huh, look at this scene." Carlo's voice suddenly sounded behind Harry and others, full of sarcasm.

He walked up to them, looked at Ron and Draco with contempt, and said sarcastically: "You two are pure-bloods, but you always get involved with these bastards..."

At this point, he seemed to realize something, paused, and then changed his words: "It's really beneath my dignity to hang out with these half-blood wizards."

As he spoke, his eyes swept over Harry and Hermione, his eyes full of disdain.

"Now that the heir of Slytherin is back, you just wait to be liquidated!" Carlo left after saying that.

Ron was so angry that his face turned red. He clenched his fists and was about to rush up to argue, but was stopped by Harry. Draco whispered, "Don't be impulsive. Now is not the time to argue with him."

"What is going on? The Chamber of Secrets, the Heir of Slytherin, and the petrification incident, these must be connected." Harry frowned, his face serious.

"No matter what, we have to find a way to stop this from going any further. We can't let more people get hurt." Hermione said firmly.

"That's right, we have to take action. Let's start by investigating this secret room, maybe we can find some clues." Ron nodded in agreement.

"Is there another Slytherin here soon?" Hermione thought of something and immediately looked at Draco who was standing aside with a thoughtful look on his face, and reminded Harry and Ron.

At the same time, in a cave deep in the forbidden forest outside Hogwarts Castle.

An enormous Norwegian Ridgeback was entrenched in the center of the cave, its huge body exuding a strong sense of oppression.

At this moment, it was staring closely at a ball of white mist in front of it, its eyes full of tenderness, worry, and curiosity.

In the mist, you can vaguely see the shadow of a snake twisting, and it hisses from time to time, as if issuing a warning to everything around it.

The snake shadow in the fog began to grow larger, and as it grew larger, some rainbow-like lights began to appear in the white fog.

The figure in the white mist was Horn in the form of a viper, but now it should be said that he was no longer in the form of a viper, because his appearance had completely changed.

A body of blood-red scales, a crystal clear plastron, each scale on the body looks like a carefully carved bronze shield, and horns like coral reefs rise high from both sides of the head, presenting a spiral upward posture.

There is a long beard growing from the corner of its mouth, which is shining with silver light. When dancing in the wind, it is like lively silk, exuding a mysterious aura.

There seemed to be tiny electric currents running through the whiskers, and sparks burst out from time to time, like twinkling stars in the night sky.

The most peculiar feature is the eyes, which look like two blazing suns.

There were constant flashes of lightning and flames in the mist around me.

When Horn appeared in this form, all the creatures in the Forbidden Forest fell to the ground, even the Hogwarts nearby was no exception.

The owls in the owl shed, the giant octopus in the Black Lake, the mermaids, the aquatic creatures, the pets brought by the wizards, and the giant serpent in the Chamber of Secrets all looked towards the Forbidden Forest and knelt on the ground.

However, there was a fish that slipped through the net, that was a fire phoenix in the principal's office, Fox, who was not crawling, but was also lowering his head and facing the direction of the Forbidden Forest.

“It’s still fun to be a human being!”

However, this scene soon ended, and a bright and clear voice was heard from the original cave.
