[HP] Snake

Surrounding him was a piece of icy darkness, and he couldn't even see his own hand, which was so close at hand.

As I have done in the past, I kept silently chanting "Light, light, light", but there was no response at all. The faint fire that had appeared in the cupboard several times did not come, let alone break the shadow for me. Terrible darkness.

In the terrible darkness, my mind played the past irresistibly and repeatedly.Aunt Petunia, Uncle Fernon, Cousin Dudley, the neighbor's child who bullied him with Dudley, Senior Nat, Senior Kent... Clear faces flashed one after another, severe pain filled the whole body, and the emptiness in the heart also appeared. It is getting bigger and bigger, and the whole person seems to be submerged in the ruthless darkness...

I don't know how long it took, but I only felt that the whole body was filled with the surrounding cold air, and my limbs were so cold that they were almost numb.I want to escape, I want to call for help, but there is no way to get myself out of place, let alone speak.But... even if I open my mouth, no one will come to save me, after all, who would really like me, a thin, malnourished little monster...

The darkness seemed to be getting thicker and thicker, and the whole person seemed to be in the center of huge pressure, and even breathing gradually became difficult.I struggled helplessly, despair spreading to my limbs.

Am I going to die in this cold darkness? !Can I really not survive in this ruthless world? !Why? !It's not fair!don't want!don't want!I do not want!I don't want to die here alone!This is hell!

Gradually, a thin halo emerged in the darkness.A faint anticipation rose from the bottom of my heart in an instant, and I made up my mind to read silently again.

This time, the flame finally appeared.However, it didn't emit the appropriate light slightly like before, but instead burned sharply as it intensified.I was awakened instantly by the tongue of flames licking my body, and I tried my best to avoid the flames that almost reached the corner of my clothes, but my limp body was extremely difficult to even retreat.

Could it be...or...can't...

Fire...if...if it is burned like this...will it be clean...is it okay...this...this filthy body...the filthy soul...will God take it...

Looking at the flames glowing with a faint blue halo, I couldn't help thinking.

However, at the moment when the flames were about to cover my body, my whole body was suddenly lightened, and I was tightly wrapped in a warm embrace, as if... as if I were the treasure that embraced the owner...

Only then did I realize that the surroundings were no longer that icy darkness.Although I don’t wear glasses, I can clearly understand that this is a forest. The surrounding trees are huge that I have never seen before. The sunlight penetrates through the gaps in the leaves, bringing a bit of coolness to the forest. warmth.

Before I could see more, I was stunned by the instant roar above my head.

"Damn it! How dare you hide in the forest alone and use 'fluorescence flashing'! You almost burned yourself to death! What a reckless brat! Where's your common sense?! Didn't your elders tell you?! Which The useless guide actually left you, a young wizard, in such a place?!"

I didn't understand what he said, but the anger that almost materialized was terrible, I shivered and tightened my body, I only hoped that he wouldn't beat him with a belt like Uncle Vernon, that hurt more than slaps and fists.

"Damn brat," the man's roar gradually subsided, "I've already left Hogwarts, why can't I escape from these damn little trolls..."

"Yes... I'm sorry..." I didn't hear the man's words afterward, but seeing him looking a little lost, I could vaguely feel that he seemed to be concerned about my safety, and he didn't know what to do, so he just used the smallest voice Weakly apologize.

The man hugged me and sat down in the shade of a big tree, and put me on his lap facing him. Only then did I see the appearance of this man clearly, more beautiful than anyone I have ever seen. Good-looking, long black hair tied back, looks much smoother than my messy hair, and even has a faint light, deep red eyes look as charming as jewels, high nose, thin lips Thin, very fair skin, which makes the facial features more delicate and soft. She is wearing a strange black robe, but it feels very comfortable to the touch. The skirt and cuffs are inlaid with beautiful gemstones, which looks very noble.

"Okay, little one, we need to talk." The man ignored me secretly looking at him, stared into my eyes, and said with a serious expression.

"Yes, sir." I subconsciously stared at his charming red eyes, and responded in a murmur.

"So, am I honored to know the name of this little wizard in front of me?"

"Wizard? What is that? Me? Those bad guys in fairy tales? I'm really a bad guy?!" Although I don't understand the specific meaning of wizard, I still know something about it after reading Dali's old fairy tale book Well, the wizards mentioned in the book are all bad guys and will harm people. Now I hear a man say that I am a wizard.

"Who told you that wizards are all bad people!" The man's expression darkened instantly, and the words he spit out had a "hiss" ending, and he was very scary, "Wizards are a great race. The darling of the wizarding world, gifted, how could it be a bad person, you must have been deceived by those stupid and lowly Muggles!"

"I'm sorry...I...I don't know..." I tightened my body and tried to back away, but the man's arm around my shoulder blocked my way back.

"Okay, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, every little wizard is the hope of the magic world, I will protect you." The man saw my fear, hugged me into his arms, and comforted me softly .

"Thank you... thank you..." Feeling his sincerity and kindness, I let go of my stiff body, snuggled into his arms without any trace, and thanked him softly.

"You're welcome, my name is Salazar Slytherin, can you tell me yours?"

"My name is Harry, Harry Potter."

"Well, maybe I can call you Harry," he continued after seeing me nodding, "Where are your parents or elders?"

I didn't answer him. Whether it's parents or elders, it's not something I want to mention, let alone this man is just a stranger.

"I'm sorry that I brought up a topic you didn't want to mention. Then, maybe I can take the liberty of telling you something." Seeing me nodding, he continued, "Since the wizarding world has been in a state of turmoil, The vast majority of adult wizards will provide a guide for young wizards. This guide is usually served by the parents or elders of the young wizard, and I don't see that you have any understanding of wizard common sense. Then, I believe you're not actually guiding people, are you?"

I didn't fully understand what the man said, but, at least, I understood that I was a wizard, not a bad person, nor a monster as my uncle and aunt said.As for the leader he said, I didn't understand at all, I just nodded to show that I really didn't have one.

"Then, would you like me to be your guide in the magic world? I will lead you into the world of magic, teach you to control the power in your body, show you all kinds of magical magic, let you use your own Proud of your wizarding blood."

The man's words carried some kind of earnest emotion, and the crimson eyes became deeper and more charming. I couldn't help but start to imagine following his words, imagining that I could control the strange energy in my body, imagining that I could stand in the heart without shame. In the world, to prove that I am not a special monster, but a great wizard... Uncontrollable joy and excitement filled my heart, my eyes and nose became more and more sore, tears fell one by one, completely uncontrollable.

"My dear little Harry, don't cry. Honey, you are a boy, you can't cry easily. Come, tell me your answer, would you like to?" The man gently held my face, Wipe away my tears with a handkerchief.

"Woo... yes... sir... of course I... woo... yes..." The tears flowed uncontrollably and became more and more fierce. I sobbed and even let out a few ridiculous hiccups.

"Very well, it is my pleasure."

The man's thin pale pink lips lightly touched my forehead, but the soft touch seemed to be imprinted on my heart, bringing endless warmth to my cold and trembling body.The pain on his body seemed to disappear at this moment, and his whole body seemed to be soaked in warm water.I grabbed the man's skirt tightly, buried my face in his chest, and kept sliding out of my eyes with traces of sweet tears, as if I wanted to vent all the grievances and despair of the past, I couldn't stop, I couldn't stop .

"My dear little Harry, you are safe. In the days to come, you will spend every day happily. Please don't hesitate, let alone despair. From now on, you will be my child , to enjoy all the happiness in this world."

The man's gentle tone rang in his ears, and the past seemed to be gradually dissipated in this gentleness, white light flashed in front of his eyes, and his consciousness gradually drifted away...

This man...you can believe it...

OK……

Anyway... there is nothing to lose...
