Snakes in Hogwarts

"Ander, why aren't you leaving?"

Looking at the dark corridor around him, Draco gently stabbed Andros in front of him.

"I'm recognizing the direction. Why, aren't you afraid?" Andros turned his head, looking amused at Draco, who was holding onto his robe.

How did this little dragon make a promise in the auditorium?

"What did you say in the auditorium, let me think about it, what's a joke! The Malfoy family has never had a coward?" Andros imitated with a grandiose expression a few hours ago when Draco was in the auditorium. Neslytherin's speech on the long table.

"I~ I am certainly not afraid!" Draco defended with a blushing face.

At the same time, his eyes were still looking around nervously, especially when passing through those dark corridors with no light, and couldn't help but grab Andros' robe.

"I'm just a little afraid of the dark! Just a little bit." He stretched out his hand and gestured, but in the darkness, no one could see his gesture clearly.

Unlike during the day, the castle at night was dark, and the already dim and damp Slytherin underground corridor was so dark that it was too dark to reach out.

Without the hustle and bustle of the day, the castle at night is a bit terrifying. The breathing of the companions around him and the rubbing of the robes are all clearly audible at this moment.

I don’t know if you have ever felt like this. When you return to school after everyone is gone at night, looking at the rows of empty classrooms, you will always feel another sense of panic for no reason.

It is a fear of unknown and loneliness.

Not to mention, they will hear some strange sounds from time to time.

It may be a certain mad armor wandering unconsciously, or it may be the snoring sound of a certain section of the stairs that slept too much, which came here after repeated echoes.

Yes, those stairs in the castle will stop moving at night because of sleep, and some stairs will make a very dissatisfied purr when you step on them.

"We, can't we really blink with fluorescence?" Draco asked softly.

"Don't be silly, Draco, are you afraid that the night patrol professor or Filch won't find our place, or do you want to be locked up for night tours on the first day of school?"

Zabini's voice remembered in the dark corridor, and before he continued to laugh at Draco, Andros, who was walking in the front, covered both of them.

"Quiet! We are almost reaching Professor Snape's lounge."

In this way, a few people stood on tiptoes and walked through Snape's lounge, where there was a potions classroom in the office, without making any noise.

Even the students of the Snake Academy have a natural fear of their dean. Unlike the fear of the severe Professor McGonagall, this fear is more like a fear of the stronger in the same class.

According to the deal they reached in the auditorium in the morning, Andros took them to find out the location of the kitchen. This was also the first night for the three.

It is worth mentioning that the deans’ lounges and offices are not far from the common rooms of their respective colleges. This can be understood as a protection for students. Once something goes wrong with one of them, the dean can immediately Get the news and rush to the lounge.

"Huh~ I was really scared to death just now." Draco let out a sigh of relief as he watched the torches lit all around.

They have walked out of the Slytherin land and came to the area where Hufflepuff lives, where bright torches are always burning, and the cheerful pictures hanging on the wall around make people feel happy and joyful when they see it. Up.

"It's not like the Draco who brags about flying with the eagle in the auditorium at dinner!"

"Shut up, Zabini! Isn't this my first night tour, it will inevitably be a little nervous."

Looking at the bright torch, Draco finally got bolder.

"I really don't know why the Slytherin side is always so dark."

"Perhaps because you can't pay the electricity bill." Andros remembered a joke from his previous life.

"Can't pay the electricity bill? What does this mean?"

"Nothing, a joke from the Muggle world."

"Come on, I'm going to starve to death. Merlin is here, I just want to go to the kitchen to find some food."

"No, you still feel hungry after eating so much at night?"

"Why, can't it? I'm growing my body, understand?"

"Cut, don't eat into a chubby man like Gore!"

Several people walked along the warm and bright corridors talking and laughing. They did not notice that in the corridor where they came, at the junction of light and dark, the light was faintly distorted where a ball of flame hits.

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

"Welcome, gentlemen, you must be hungry!"

There was no change in the kitchen at night and during the day. The house elves who had worked hard all day were now covered with quilts, sleeping on the same long table and stool as the auditorium above.

The noise of Andros and his party entering the kitchen also awakened these little guys from their sleep.

"Welcome, gentlemen, your arrival has made this place shine." They screamed, surrounded by several people.

"What do you want to eat? How about the pork pie, I can make it right away."

"Give us something to eat, if there is meat, it would be better, thank you."

"Gosh!" The house elf blinked in disbelief.

"Did you hear what he said just now? He actually said thank you!" There was a tumult from the house elf.

"Give us something delicious, grilled chicken thighs, steaks, fruit pies, and some desserts and fruits after the meal." Draco commanded grimly.

He curled his mouth and sat at a table, then glanced at the dirty quilt on the table with disgust.

Before Draco could speak, a few quick-eyed house elves scrambled to help him clean the table.There are smiles on their faces, as if serving the wizard is their most glorious thing.

"Come and sit down." Draco said to Andros and Zabini.

"These are house elves, servants of wizards, you don't need to be too polite to them." Draco looked at the small group of little guys contemptuously.

"There are so many house elves here." Zabini sighed, and he didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with Draco's attitude.

"Yeah, I never knew that there are such a large group of house elves living underground in Hogwarts. Ender, how did you find this place?"

"With a little luck, I was curious about everything I saw at the time. I touched each painting a few times. When I touched the big pear, a doorknob appeared suddenly." Andros said concisely. Explained.

"I said, why do they listen to the wizard so much?" he asked.

"I don't know, and no one cares about these issues. For us, the house elf is a very useful servant. Basically, every pure-blooded nobleman will have at least one in the house. This is also a symbol of status. "Zabini explained.

"Except for the Weasleys, they are so poor that they can hardly support themselves." Draco added immediately.

It is a group of sad creatures.

Seeing this group of little things spinning around a few people, Andros thought in his heart.
