The evening wind of August [-]th blows in through the cracks in the window, finally cooling the stuffy room.

"Ashley Field."

My writing hand trembled, and my anger was burning.

"No, why do you, like Riddle, like to casually enter other people's rooms—" I wanted to ask Irina why she broke into my bedroom without a sound, but she interrupted me.

"Let me ask you, you told me last time that you can help me, is it true?" She seemed a little anxious, and the panic expression in that moment extinguished my anger.

"Honestly, I can't be sure—but I can promise you that I'll find a way for you as soon as possible." That's all I can say.

"It's the same rhetoric again." Irina's complexion was not good, "Forget it, I shouldn't have believed you." She walked to the window and looked at the gloomy sky outside, with a little worry and struggle on her brows .The moon hasn't come out yet.

I sighed: "Just bear with me this time, I can't find a solution in such a short time. Don't worry, I'm different from Riddle."

"I advise you not to say that again." She glanced at me with disgust, "Anyway, it is absolutely impossible for me to abandon my master and believe your nonsense." She turned her head, blinking her eyes. Staring unblinkingly at the dark cloud above her head, there is hidden light that frightens her, but I caught a little madness in her eyes, as if she had made up her mind to do something, which made me even more uneasy .

"It's getting dark, Irina, what are you going to do?"

"I don't want to trap myself in the cage anymore." She turned towards me, her face blurred in a haze, "This time, I won't go back, I don't want to experience that kind of pain again."

"What are you going to do?"

"What do you think?" Irina suddenly choked me, and the back of my head slammed into the wall behind me. Stars flashed in my eyes, and I coughed fiercely, "How could I believe your provocation? Because of you, the master is treating me like this, go to hell! If you were not lucky, you should have died long ago!"

What Potter said to me once flashed in my mind. He said that the desperate person he saw by the river was probably her.I figured it out, since I followed Riddle, she has been trying to find a chance to get rid of me.

"Irina!" I shouted my name with all my strength, my voice was pitifully weak, the blood in my whole body was rushing to my head, and I was about to suffocate, "Irina! I can help you, calm down—" It is difficult for my brain to control my limbs. I fumbled for the wand in my pocket with great difficulty, but I couldn’t use any strength. Her strength was amazing, and I felt that the blood vessels in my neck were about to be crushed by her. up.

Irina's bloodshot eyes were close at hand, filled with a terrifying and violent aura, and I saw a full moon rising from the clouds in the sky.

Her body changed, starting from the face, thick and black hair grew out, and soon she completely turned into a giant wolf, and the hand pinching my neck also began to grow bigger. There was a numbing coolness, accompanied by bursts of severe pain, the sharp claws had already sunk into my flesh, and blood gushed out.

My eyes began to turn black, and finally I couldn’t see anything, and my consciousness gradually wanted to fly away from my body, but after a while, the suffocation suddenly disappeared, and there was an itchy feeling of blood reflowing on my neck, and everything in front of me reappeared come out.

I saw the black wolf roaring and struggling, with a thick python wrapped around its body.

"Nagini?" I covered my wound and blinked my dizzy eyes.

"Get out of here."

"Huh?" I was wondering who was talking, Nagini's head stood up from Hei Lang's body, staring straight at me with glowing snake eyes, spat out the letter, and made a "hissing" sound.

"leave."

I got up from the ground, took two staggered steps, turned into a bird and flew out through the window, and fell to the grass outside the window.Leaning against the tree trunk, I pressed my sleeve against the deep paw print above my collarbone to keep it from bleeding too much.I leaned my head back, the bright moonlight sprinkled on my face, I panted heavily, thankful that I was still alive and well.I flew up to the branch and looked into the window. Nagini wrapped around Irina's body several times, slowly tightening like a snake hunting its prey. Irina turned her head to bite it but couldn't reach it. Finally she was tired, and the frequency of struggling began to decrease, she lay motionless on the ground, growling with her mouth open.

Seeing that the night had just come, it was useless for Nagini to drag on like this. I flew away from here, gave up the idea of ​​looking for Riddle, and went to look for Alphard.

"Do you have any water of life and death, or tranquilizers or something?" I asked him.

"Yes, what are they for?" He dug out two bottles of potion from the drawer, placed them under the candle light for confirmation, and gave them to me. He pointed to my wound with a worried expression, "What is this?"

"I was scratched by a wild animal when I went out at night." I took it and blinked at him relaxedly. I flew out of the window, went back to my room, and decisively opened the potion. With Nagini bound, I opened Irina's mouth and poured all the two bottles of potion into it.

I watched with pride as Irina yelled at me angrily and eventually passed out.I threw the bottle in the trash, clapped my hands, and sat down on the bed in relief.Nagini moved away from Irina and crawled up the foot of my bed.With a belated exclamation, I jumped up like a spring, pinched the quilt in my hands and shrank to the farthest corner of the bed.

"Get down, get down!" I waved the quilt against it.

"I saved you just now, you should thank me."

I froze, and moved the quilt a little away from my eyes.

"Is that you talking?" I asked hesitantly.

"Otherwise?" Nagini crawled to my side, her neck shaking from side to side, I always had the illusion that she was going to pounce on me and bite me in the next second, my palms kept sweating, and the corners of the quilt were wet.

"When did I know Parseltongue?" I wondered to myself.

"It's not that you can speak Parseltongue, it's that I can speak." Her tone carried a gentle smile, and I unconsciously relaxed a little, "Tom doesn't know about this either."

"You can talk?" I was so shocked that I even thought I was hallucinated by fright, "You, you are a python, how can you talk?"

"Because I used to be like you..." She chuckled, and climbed onto my lap from the side of the bed through the quilt, "It's a little girl."

I opened my mouth wide, forgetting the fear.

"You're funny, Ashley, I can feel that you're different from everyone else..."

My nerves tensed up, and I was a little worried that she who was always by Riddle's side would reveal something to Riddle, but what she called Riddle made me a little confused.

"Don't worry, I know that I don't like to interfere in messy things. I stay here for a purpose." She said, "I just thought that he might have a way to break the blood curse on me."

"Blood curse?" I struggled to find the word in my mind, "What is that?"

"It's a curse inherited from our family's maternal line. I could switch forms between human and snake, but this curse will eventually make me a real snake forever." She explained, "So, in my Before consciousness as a human being existed, I was looking for a way to crack it."

"Then how can you be sure that Riddle can help you?"

"I'm not sure, but this somewhat gives me hope." She sighed, "I followed Newt and Tina to find Mr. Dumbledore, but even they couldn't help me."

"Professor Dumbledore can't do anything?" I was surprised, because in my mind, he is the most mysterious and powerful existence that no one else can compare to. "If this is the case, how can Riddle be able to do anything?"

"At least he gave me hope, Ashley. I've had a hard time all these years, no one talks to me, and I don't talk to anyone, but I never forget that I'm a human being, I'm not a boa constrictor, I need someone to understand me and accept me——I need help." Her oval snake eyes blinked, the transparent film reflected a little bit of water, and the huge head was facing out of the window, and I didn't seem so scary anymore , "After the war, I lost a lot of things."

She turned to look at me, and even though I wasn't that scared anymore, I couldn't help shivering.

"I'll go first, Ashley." She climbed out of my bed and looked up at me. "I'm right outside the door. If she wakes up, she can ask me for help."

She got out through the ajar door.I glanced at Irina, who was unconscious on the ground, and sat there for a long time without moving.

Tonight, I couldn't close my eyes anyway.

I slipped into the bed, not daring to cover the quilt too tightly, my eyes could not leave her for a moment, the wand was under the quilt and I held it in the palm of my hand, I was afraid that when she woke up, she would kill me directly in the dreamland , then I really have to go to another world to complain.

Do you want to strike first?

……

Of course, I quickly dismissed this dangerous idea.

I lifted the quilt, put on my shoes carefully, walked out of the room, and closed the door tightly.

I was walking aimlessly under the dim street lights at night. There was no one on the street. The wound on my neck was no longer bleeding, and the wind blew through it, causing burning pain.

I blinked my sour eyes, suppressed my drowsiness, yawned and wandered around the world, stopped for a while, and walked until the sky was white and the night came to an end.

I went back to the room with dark circles under my eyes. It was already past four o'clock in the morning, and the moon had long since disappeared.I opened the door and found that Irina had gone, I don't know when she woke up.

I locked the door with confidence, embedded myself in the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

Although I only slept for four hours, I was surprisingly dreamless.I stretched and went to wash my face. The water seeped into my eyes and it was sore and painful.

I yawned a lot and walked around to the garden behind the house. The morning sun shone through the mottled leaves on my body, bringing a little bit of warmth, but I was still unbearably sleepy.It seems that I have to take a nap today, and by the way, I have to go to bed earlier to make up for the unlucky half of the night yesterday.

"Hey."

I turned my head and saw Irina sitting on the wooden chair on the other side. Her back was tightly pressed against the chair, and she raised her head with an unnatural expression.Her brown eyes turned a translucent amber in the sunlight, and she was completely different from the red-eyed, violent and crazy Irina last night.

She glanced at my nasty, unhealed wound—it was partly hidden by my collar, but you could still see it.

"Yesterday—it was a special case." She frowned and looked away.

"On the night of the full moon, I lost my mind. You didn't intend to kill me on purpose. I understand." I shrugged.

"I do want to kill you." She gave me a savage look.I was choked, and I could only raise my eyebrows, feeling dumbfounded.

"Don't think that I will be grateful to you." Irina stood up, she was a little taller than me, so she raised her head and looked down at me, showing a proud and disdainful expression, and then strode away from here.
