Snakes in Hogwarts

Snake wood is the common name of many common trees, and their wood has wavy patterns.Snake wood has magical properties and can be used as wand wood, but few wizards in history will use snake wood wands.

Like its name, the character of snake wood has many similarities with snakes, so it is not easy to get the approval of snake wood wand.

Snakes are not born to trust others easily.

Historically, the founder of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Salazar Slytherin used this wood when making his wand.

Andros walked out of Ollivander’s wand shop a little depressed. He took out his pockets. In the morning, the swollen bag was filled with Jin Jialong’s purses. Now there are only a few Jin Jialongs and some Silver Westco.

On the contrary, his clothes pockets are bulging. They contain seven or eight matchbox-sized pocket books, a finger-sized crucible, bundles of fingernail-sized feather pens and parchment, and several sets. Mini robe that even babies can't wear.

After realizing that magic could make life so convenient, Andros asked Professor McGonagall to cast a reduction spell on all the things he and Hermione bought.

He is holding a rectangular paper box in his hand, which contains the wand just bought from Ollivander’s wand shop. This kind of magical property cannot be used to cast the reduction spell, otherwise it will Makes the wand damaged and unusable.

"They are all magic wands, why is this one so expensive?"

"Okay, Andros. Mr. Ollivander is already very cheap for you. Do you know the price of long-horned water snake horns on the black market?" Professor McGonagall smiled at the gloomy look of Andros Intention to comfort him.

"As far as I know, it is one hundred and fifty gold gallons, and this kind of gems is a scarce item that is priceless. The wand made by this thing was very popular among wizards in the early days."

"I know that Mr. Ollivander gave me a cost price, but it is also expensive enough. I originally thought I could save some Jin Jialong this trip."

"Don't worry about this. If nothing happens, this magic wand will accompany you through the magical time in the future. Choosing the one that suits you is the most important thing."

I hope there are no accidents, otherwise, I don't have so many Jin Jialong to buy another one.

"Professor McGonagall, I heard some people say that the longer you choose a wand, the higher you can achieve in the future. Is this true?" Hermione hesitated and asked the question she wanted to know.

"Miss Granger, what I have to remind you is that in order to achieve superhuman achievements, the most important thing is to study hard. The length of time to choose a wand does not tell anything."

"Thank you, Professor McGonagall, I will definitely study hard."

"Okay, it's getting late, let's check if there is nothing missing and go back."

After checking what they hadn't forgotten to buy, Andros and his group walked in the direction of the Broken Cauldron Bar.

It's getting late, and the bustling crowd in Diagon Alley is much less. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on this cobblestone street. Next to it, the screams from a few small shops make everything look. It's all so quiet and comfortable.

Because of their embarrassment, they didn't go to the Fantastic Animal Store and the Bing Owl Store, nor did they sit on the Gringotts special cart. This should be the only regret.

"It's beautiful! I really can't bear to leave here."

Standing at the entrance where they came, and looking back at the street behind, Hermione suddenly became a little bit reluctant. Today, for the little girl who just turned eleven, it was too dreamy.

The magical magic, the changing streets, the bustling crowd, the weird goods, the mysterious goblins, Ollivander's wand shop, all these made the eleven-year-old girl linger.

She suddenly didn't want to leave here.

"It would be great if I could stay here forever."

"The brief separation is for the next meeting, Miss Granger. If you live here for the rest of your life, then you will certainly not be as happy as you are today, because these sights are something you take for granted."

"You are right, Andros, and you can call me Hermione."

The girl's voice was very soft, but Andros still heard what she was saying.

In Western countries, unless it is a particularly close friend, relative, lover, or an elder to a younger generation, they will not call each other by their first name, but their surname.

Calling the other person by name, especially girls, is a very transgressive behavior, and it is easy to incur resentment from others.Only after the girl makes it clear that you can call it that way.

"Mr. Lobach is right, don't feel sorry, you will come here often in the future."

Finally, taking a look at the cobblestone road of Diagon Alley, the group followed the ever-increasing arch back to the backyard of the Broken Cauldron Bar.

"Maybe we can write to each other, Hermione, or call." Andros suggested as he passed the dim passage in the backyard of the Broken Cauldron Bar.

If I remember correctly, there is still a telephone in the office of Mother Nancy in the orphanage.

"Really not, that's great, we can communicate magic together!" Hermione looked very happy when she heard Andros say this.

What Andros didn't know was that due to her character and other reasons, she had no friends in school.

She is the only person she has met, who can be called friends.

Andros' words somewhat diminished the emotion of parting. After greeted old Tom behind the bar, they opened the glass door and went outside the Broken Cauldron Bar.

Who could have imagined that such a glass door divides two very different worlds?

Looking at the Muggles on the street, Andros thought with emotion.

Those people will live in a world shrouded by science all their lives, but they have stepped into a world called magic with one foot.

"The start date of Hogwarts is September 1st. The specifics are written in the letter I sent you. You need to read it carefully. Also, don't use magic in front of Muggles. This is illegal."

After bidding farewell to the Grangers, Professor McGonagall waved his hand and took Andros again through Apparition to the big tree where they left in the morning.

"Mr. Lobach, the new semester begins on September 1, and that day you need to go to Platform 9 and 3/4 of King's Cross Station in London before 11 o'clock in the morning, and then drive towards Hogwarts by car. "

"Platform nine and three quarters?"

"Yes, that is a hidden magic platform. It is located on the third wall between Platform 9 and Platform 10. You only need to run to that wall. Don't worry, there are many wizards on that day. Would go there.

I believe you can easily distinguish their different costumes from Muggles, and there will also be Aurors from the Ministry of Magic patrolling the entrance of the station."

"I see, there is no problem, Professor McGonagall."

"Well~ that's good, if you are afraid of missing the train, you can look for it earlier."

"I understand, thank you, Professor McGonagall."

"Well, it's getting late, so go back soon."

Watching Andros return to the orphanage, Professor McGonagall waved his magic wand gently.

Accompanied by a pop sound similar to the backfire of a car, her figure disappeared in place with a few falling leaves.

Since Hogwarts was cast an anti-apparition spell, Professor McGonagall needs to apparate to Hogward first, and then return to Hogwarts.

Two flowers bloomed, one on each side. After a simple dinner in the orphanage, Andros returned to his cabin deep in the forest under the cover of night.

"Hiss~ Ivar, where are you? I'm back!" Along the way, the cold neighing sound of snakes echoed in the woods, and the sound of the wind that rang with it sounded more like some kind of pain The wailing makes people just feel even more shuddering.

This is also the reason why Snake Manga makes people think that it is black magic. Not only are people with this ability mostly become black wizards, this kind of magic ability itself can also make unsuspecting people creepy.

"His~ Boss, are you back?"

A neighing sound of response came from the forest soon, and it didn't take long for a giant python with a thick mouth to get out of the low bushes.

"His~ Boss, you are finally back. I'm going to starve to death. Have you eaten?"

"There are only these leftovers. You can eat it first. I have something to tell you after I finish it."

"What can you say now?" Ivar asked without looking up, swallowing the food in the box.

"As you know, I am a wizard. In one month, I will go to a school called Hogwarts. The semester is very long and I cannot throw you a snake here.

So now there are only two choices, either you go to Hogwarts with me, or I find a way to send you on a ship to North America. What do you think?

Do you want to go with me?"

Although Hogwarts does not allow students to bring snakes as pets, if Ivar really wants to go, Andros asks himself that he will try his best to get it into Hogwarts.

This month's life has given him feelings for this giant python, and Snake Voice is easy to have a special emotion when facing snakes.

What's more, didn't Hagrid once raised eight-eyed spiders in school?

That thing is much more dangerous than the giant python.

As long as it is not discovered, there should be no problems.

"Hiss~Are you leaving?"

Ival raised his head from the lunch box and stared straight at Andros.

"A month later, so I have to ask your decision in advance. If you want to go to the wizarding world with me, that would be the best. If you want to go home, I won't stop it."

"Hiss~ I haven't thought about it yet. Will there be any benefit to go to that hogg or something with you?"

"Don't say anything else, at least the food will not be as bad as it is now. I can guarantee you how much you want and have meat every meal."

"Hiss? Really? Then what am I thinking about! Can't we go early?"

"No!"

................................................. ......................................

In the evening,

Hogwarts under the night,

On the eighth floor of the castle, the principal's office.

"I'm back, Albus, everything goes well."

After returning to the castle, Professor McGonagall came to the principal's room on the eighth floor to report to Dumbledore about his situation today.

"You are always so reliable in your affairs. Have you seen that kid?"

"Yes, I also brought a little girl from Muggle who is also in London."

"how do you feel?"

"A very smart and mature little boy, with excellent magic talent, and most importantly, has a kind heart. His dean is a good person and has given him many beautiful qualities."

Professor McGonagall briefly talked about the things experienced on this day, from the magical talent revealed under the tree in the morning, to the broken cauldron bar, the performance during shopping, and the magic wand that was finally selected.

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows slightly when talking about the wand made of snake wood with the horns of the long-horned water snake as the core.

"Well~ it sounds like a very nice little guy. Can you find out how our messenger was attacked?"

"No, he didn't see the attacker."

"It doesn't matter, that little guy has almost recovered, it's getting late, go back and rest early."

"Wait a minute, I still have questions to ask." Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore with a serious expression.

"What's wrong, Minerva?"

"Why did you hire Quirrell as the professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class? I don't believe you didn't find something wrong with him!"

"Is there something wrong with Quirrell?"

"Don't try to fool me! Principal Dumbledore, I was an Auror when I was young, and I have experienced many things too!" Professor McGonagall looked a little angry because she thought Dumbledore was deliberately pretending to be confused.

"I don't believe you didn't find that he was desperately trying to cover up the stench from his turban with garlic and any hell spice. It was rotten. What are you thinking about?"

"Minerva, this is very complicated." Not paying attention to Professor McGonagall's dissatisfied eyes, Dumbledore explained calmly.

"As you said, I did notice something wrong with Quirrell, but I did have my own considerations.

And, do you know, there are not many people who are willing to be professors in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. People think that this is a cursed position. It comes from the person whose name they dare not mention. Quirrell is the only one who takes the initiative Apply for a wizard who wants to be a professor in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

"Then you can't make a joke about the safety of the students, Dumbledore. None of us knows what his purpose is for entering Hogwarts, if any students are harmed by it."

"Don't worry, I promise that no student will receive any harm. No matter what purpose he has, he will not succeed in the end. I will stare at him."

"It's good if you know it in your heart. After all, you are the principal of Hogwarts. I am a little tired. If there is nothing to do, I will go back and rest first."

"Good night, Minerva."

"It's not just you who can spot something wrong with the wizard, Albus, she seems very dissatisfied with you."

After Professor McGonagall left the principal's room angrily, a portrait of the principal hanging on the left wall of the room spoke.

She is Dairis Derwent, a female principal who graduated from Ravenclaw, and the only female principal of Hogwarts so far. Not only that, she is also an excellent therapist who has served as Saint Mang Dean of Ge's Injury Hospital.

Until now, Saint Mangori still retains her portrait.

"Minerva is a very keen wizard, I guessed she would find Quirrell's problem before." Dumbledore spread his hands.

"I have to make certain things. You also understand that he is not dead, but is still recovering in secret."

"So you think, that wizard, Quirrell? Is he that man's pawn?

"I'm not sure yet, so I need further confirmation, though."

"Do you have any scruples?"

"I am a little worried now that it is the boy"

"What's wrong? What's wrong with that kid?"

"It's okay, I just can't help but think of the past, do you remember? The boy, Tom, was also an orphan who showed magical talent since he was a child, but finally grew into an evil dark wizard, Voldemort. "

"So you suspect that this boy will become like Tom?"

"It's not a suspicion, it's a worry. If a dark demon appears, I'm afraid I will be dead by then."

"There is no need to worry about the world after death, Albus, even if it is true, it has nothing to do with you."

"People are afraid of many things when they are old, Dairis. I am afraid that no one will be able to stop these dark wizards after I die."

"Don't take yourself so important, Dumbledore."

The principal painting next to him interrupted. These portraits of the principal who had been pretending to be asleep just now began to chat and discuss, making the originally quiet principal's room suddenly become full of voices.

"And how can there be such a coincidence in the world, you can't preconceived that because he has the same experience as that person, he will eventually become an evil dark wizard."

"Even if this is the case, but this time you are the principal, and you are no longer the transfiguration professor who has no decision-making power. You can teach him in time to avoid the wrong path."

"Let's talk about it then, this is not the main problem we face."

...........

(Before the Philosopher’s Stone was transferred, Quirrell was already a professor of defense against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, so the author speculates that Quirrell, or that Voldemort’s original purpose was not the Philosopher’s Stone, he is very likely I wanted to transfer the crown, and by the way, Dumbledore was sick.

Of course, it would be great if Harry could be killed easily.)
