Snakes at Hogwarts

"Wingardim Leviosa~"

As Andros's spell sounded, a spell hit Toad Leif very accurately as he was preparing to escape along the box door.

Although the latter was waving his limbs in the air, desperately trying to break free from the shackles of magic, this was obviously in vain.

Under the control of the floating spell, Andros easily controlled the toad and handed it back to Neville's hands.

"Gu Gua~ Gu Gua~ Lonely and widowed."

Unfortunately, Andros can't understand Toad language and doesn't know what this toad who yearns for freedom wants to say.

Maybe he's expressing his distaste for magic

"What an energetic little guy. This is the fourth time it wants to run out of this carriage." After returning the toad to Neville, Andros put away his wand rather helplessly.

He really couldn't understand why this toad kept thinking about running away.

"Leifu always likes to play tricks on me like this. He always slips away from me, and then suddenly appears when I can't find him at all."

Hey, I can’t tell that this character is as bad as Ivar’s.

"That was the levitation spell just now. You are really amazing, Ender." Neville looked at Andros with admiration.

He only felt that this boy of similar age to him was really powerful. Every time Leif tried to escape from him, Andros was able to catch him back with a magic spell in time.

"I can do that too," Hermione muttered unconvincingly.

I was just scared, otherwise I would have reacted

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was gradually getting dark, but they still took advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun to enjoy the scenery of the Scottish Highlands.

It is no exaggeration to say that this place may have the most beautiful scenery in Europe.

It is full of ancient, split plateaus. The ancient rocks are divided into canyons and lakes by the water flowing down from the Nevis Mountains. Since the tentacles of modern civilization have not yet extended to this area, there is still the most primitive nature here. scenery.

The famous Loch Ness is located on this highland, but unfortunately, the Hogwarts train did not pass through this legendary lake.

According to Neville, the Loch Ness monster that Muggles call Nessie is actually a horse-shaped water monster, and it is probably the largest horse-shaped water monster discovered by wizards so far.

It is a kind of water monster that can freely change its body shape. It is named because it likes to transform into the form of a horse. They often lure careless travelers and let them ride on their backs, and then plunge into the nearest river or At the bottom of the lake, people were devouring themselves.

"Unlike the ordinary horse-shaped water monster, the one that lives in Loch Ness prefers to take the shape of a sea snake. Maybe a Muggle has taken a photo of it before, and that's why the Loch Ness Monster you call it came into existence.

The Ministry of Magic has a department, the Misinformation Office, that deals with this type of problem.They need to find ways to make Muggles believe that those photos and photographic materials are false. "

It's hard to tell that in addition to his talent in herbalism, Neville also has some knowledge of magical animals.

“I can’t believe that the so-called Loch Ness Monster actually looks like this. By the way, do you know what the horse-shaped monster looks like when it’s not transformed?”

"Just like Boggarts, no one has ever seen them without transformation. By the way, do you know what a Boggart is?"

"That seems to be a deformable creature that will turn into the thing that the person you face is most afraid of. Okay, let's go out for a while. Hermione, please put on your robe. We should be there soon. Use my help. Can you take the suitcase down?"

"I can do it myself, Ender. My levitation spell is no worse than yours."

Due to the appearance of Andros, the plot has changed a lot. Toad Leif did not escape, Hermione and Neville did not go out to search from carriage to carriage, and they did not know Harry and Harry in advance. Ron.

It can't be said that they didn't know each other. They met briefly in the Leaky Cauldron and Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. However, under Andros's guidance, Hermione did not think about how amazing Harry was as in the original book.

It's better to stay as far away from that guy who loves to cause trouble and doesn't use his brain when doing things.

While standing in the corridor waiting for Hermione, Andros heard very keenly the conversations of several students walking from the car behind.

"Have you heard that a few people just started fighting in the carriage?"

"It's really Gryffindor and Slytherin again"

"How's it going? Did you use any curse?"

"No, it's said that they were four freshmen who didn't know anything yet, fighting with their fists in a box."

"Tch, what's the point of that."

It seemed that even without Hermione's involvement, some things happened as they did.

The savior Potter must have already met that arrogant little snake, and had a fierce fight with it.

But what does this have to do with me, Andros?

"I've changed it. Come in."

The girl wears a black robe, a white shirt and a black tie underneath, black pantyhose and small leather shoes. Paired with a head of naturally curly brown hair, she looks extremely cute.

"Wow, this dress suits you really well. I can't even recognize you when you put it on." Andros rubbed his eyes exaggeratedly, looking like he couldn't believe it.

"Glib." A blush appeared on Hermione's face.

"It's too hot in there. I have to go to the corridor to get some fresh air."

Without any explanation, she lowered her head and squeezed out between Andros and Neville. A pair of small leather shoes made a clicking sound on the corridor of the train and disappeared quickly.

"What's wrong with her? Is she angry?" Neville asked doubtfully.

"No, you will understand when you grow up. She will be back soon."

As expected by Andros, Hermione, who had wandered outside for a while, quickly returned to their carriage on the grounds that the corridor was full of laughing and playing students and it was extremely noisy.

Naturally, Andros would not expose the girl's little thoughts, but Neville, who was suffering but relatively innocent, scratched his head and couldn't figure out the reason for Hermione's change.

Child, you will understand when you grow up.

The speed of the train became slower and slower, and after turning a corner, it stopped completely. Looking out the window, they seemed to have arrived at a shabby and small platform.

It was completely dark outside, and Andros couldn't see clearly without taking off his contact lenses.

However, following the sound of announcements in the carriage, they were certain of one thing.

That is, they finally arrived.
