HP solves the mystery

[Helbo, Nagini, don’t fight, we are all friends. 】Tom saw that the atmosphere was a little tense and quickly explained.

Haierbo saw that Nagini was harmless, so he put away his fangs and put Tom back on the ground, but he still didn't become smaller.

Tom ran over and hugged Nagini, and after finally calming down the howling Nagini, he asked the basilisk to take them to the Shrieking Shack. The commotion they just made attracted the attention of some wizards.

The basilisk avoided the wizard with ease and quickly arrived at the Shrieking Shack, where two big snakes almost filled one room.

Nagini was still sobbing and saying that Tom didn't want it anymore and was looking for other snakes to play with.

Tom could only pat its head with his short hand to express comfort. He really didn't mean it.

The basilisk's white scales exploded as it looked at the cry, and its body was as white as an albino Nagini. It laughed mercilessly, [Hiss, how long do you live? I have been a snake staying in one place for hundreds of years. I'm used to it. 】

It can be said to be the only basilisk alive to this day. As an immortal species, it accompanied Salazar on the battlefield not long after it reached adulthood. However, Salazar was single at that time, so it was even less likely to have a female snake, so Always a lonely snake.

Moreover, as a basilisk that has lived for thousands of years, it has blood suppression on Nagini, not to mention that its angry eyes now look like it wants to eat a snake.

Nagini cowered at the sight, lowered her head and hid behind Tom, but how could its huge body be blocked by the short Tom.

It timidly said, [Hiss, Tom, it looks so scary. 】

Tom sighed. He didn't know if it was right to let the Basilisk and Nagini meet, but they would meet one day.

[Nagini, this is Haierbo. ] Tom looked at the basilisk and then at Nagini, and introduced them to each other: [Helpo, this is Nagini. 】

Haierbo guessed that Tom got to know the white snake during the few days when it was away, but it knew that Tom was a magical cat cub, so it greeted him without any suspicion.

[Hi Nagini, I’m Haierbo. 】The basilisk tapped the side of its head a few times with the tip of its tail, sighing secretly that it was a polite snake.

Nagini didn't say anything, she just backed away a little more from the bad snake who wanted to snatch Tom from it, so it ignored it.

It was not easy for Tom to be caught in the middle, so he persuaded Nagini to buy lamb chops to eat, so that he could coax the snake into peace.

Haierbo felt that it was pointless to bully the juniors and was upset by the crying. He also said that he gave the snacks to Nagini to make the little white snake feel better.

Tom looked at the two foodies gathering together. Fortunately, his family had a big business, otherwise he would not be able to support them.

But he forgot that Severus provided his own food and accommodation.

Tom hopes that the two snakes can get along 'friendly'. He can finally think about what he has to do, which is to fuse Nagini's soul piece.

How much he liked Nagini as the carrier of the soul piece before, now he wants to call his former self a fool.

Damn it, forget it, you have to scold me all the time, let’s think about how to integrate.

Tom asked Nagini to drink the shrinking potion he bought in Diagon Alley, and then put the white snake, which was only the size of a palm, into his pocket.

[Hiss, Tom, that's not fair, why can Haierbo be on your shoulder? ] Nagini protested, twisting her snake body in her pocket.

[I wouldn’t mind if you could shrink down to as small as him. ] Tom glanced at the basilisk the size of a finger and said truthfully.

Nagini fell silent. It actually lost in terms of getting smaller, but aren't snakes always competing to see which one is bigger and which one is more poisonous?

Tom took the bus back home with the two snakes, and bought some snacks in the supermarket downstairs when he got off the bus.

Everyone in the supermarket is familiar with this smart kid, and he always smiles when he sees him.

When Severus got home, he saw the child sitting on the sofa watching TV.

"October is indeed the time with the most activities. There is a food festival in the east. Do you want to go together tonight?" The young man hung up his coat, poured a glass of water to moisten his throat and said.

Before Tom could explain Nagini's existence, the basilisk couldn't help it.

[Go, of course go, the only thing you can’t live up to is the delicious food. ] The basilisk's letters kept spitting out, almost making him drool.

Severus smiled, turned to Tom and said, "Are you going?"

[Hiss, go, go, I’m going too! 】What responded to him was a white snake crawling out from Tom's hand. The white snake spit out letters and wore Haierbo's red bow tie around its neck.

Seeing the young man's shocked eyes, Tom quickly pulled Nagini back, only to be met with the little white snake's muttering.

Severus put his hand to his lips and coughed twice, his eyes flickering back and forth between the basilisk and Tom.

"Can any of you tell me what's going on?" He knew that the basilisk would not let threatening creatures get close to Tom, but the white snake was venomous at first sight, so would he take it home without explaining it? Is it fair to say that?

The basilisk spat out a message and pointed its tail at Tom without hesitation, "He did it, you go find him." 】After saying that, he grabbed the remote control, lay on the sofa and continued watching TV.

Tom stood in front of the young man like a child who had done something wrong. He held Nagini's little face and blushed slightly. "Nagini is someone I met in Hogsmeade before. She lives like a snake without her parents. She is so pitiful." ...and then came to me..." He said selectively.

Every sentence was explained, but not completely explained, but it was true.

Nagini rubbed Tom's finger in cooperation. It had been separated from Tom for several years and missed him.

Severus sighed after hearing this. He knelt down and looked directly into Tom's red eyes, and asked seriously, "Tom, Nagini is a snake, and snakes are solitary creatures... Besides, it's enough for us to have Herbo... "He wanted to persuade Tom to send the snake back, but when he saw the expectant look in his eyes, his heart softened again.

"Okay, you can keep it, but if you can't keep it for a while, you won't like it and throw it away. Can you do that?"

Tom's eyes flashed with a smile, young people are always so soft-hearted.

"I got it, Sev. The cost of raising Nagini will be deducted from my pocket money, okay?" Tom tilted his head and blinked his big eyes in a cute way.

The young man couldn't help but smile as his face turned bloody. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Tom's soft hair.

"Of course, Nagini will be your little friend from now on."

He raised Haierbo, and Tom raised Nagini, so there was nothing wrong with them.

In just a few words, Nagini's stay or stay was decided.

Tom frowned in confusion. Should he tell the young man that Nagini could grow bigger? Forget it, let’s talk about it later.

In this way, the two of them went to the food court and both ate to their satisfaction.

Nagini gained Severus' approval and started spending time eating and drinking at home. Tom also remembered the time to feed it shrinking potions.

Until Christmas Eve, the interest class Tom attended was going to hold a Christmas Eve activity. He was selected into the choir because of his exquisite facial features and smart mind. Originally, he didn't want to participate, but Severus wanted to see him. performance, so he is busy every day without touching the ground.

He looked at the gloomy sky and thought of his days as choirmaster at Hogwarts, when he was the one scolding everyone.

"You did a great job today, my dear Tom, you won first place." Severus looked at the snow on the road, hugged Tom, who was dressed like a little angel, kissed him, and praised him with a smile. Her singing voice is as beautiful as that of a mermaid.

Tom's ears turned red. He knew that Sif was talking about the beautiful mermaid in Muggle fairy tales, not the ugly mermaid in the Black Lake of Hogwarts. This straightforward compliment made him very happy.

"Okay, okay, just average." Tom's lips raised, but he still said modestly, "If I hadn't been so young, I could have won you a city championship."

The young man burst out laughing. Although he was small, his tone was not small.

"Okay, okay, my future city champion, you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself." Seeing Tom staring at him angrily, he quickly adjusted his expression and put him down.

Tom held Sif's hand and kicked the snow on the ground depressedly. Hum, the great Dark Lord will sing to you. If you don't give him a city championship, he will be the one to kill you!

Tom gritted his molars, feeling that they had made a lot of money.

"Tom, it's been three years since you appeared next to me. Time flies so fast." Severus was filled with emotion when he thought of the thin and thin cat kitten when he picked it up.

Tom recalled the shameful days when he was a cat, drinking milk bottles, eating cat food, and using cat litter, and his beautiful eyebrows became tangled into caterpillars.

Fortunately, the young man just sighed a few words, and then took Tom to the cake shop, which was ordered for Haierbo three days ago.

Ever since the basilisk knew that everyone celebrated birthdays and got gifts on their birthdays, it clamored to celebrate it too. However, no one remembered the basilisk’s birthday thousands of years ago, so it chose Christmas for itself. Celebrate your birthday and get double the happiness.

I have to say that the basilisk is very calculating.

Nagini was shocked when she heard this. She rummaged through her snack box aggrievedly, and finally found a box of chocolate frogs.

The basilisk curled its tail and accepted the gift in advance.

When Nagini saw that the last snack was gone, she complained to Tom and Silver with tears in her eyes, whether she still had the right to snake!

Severus held his forehead and sighed. He asked himself how he could take advantage of the basilisk when he saw the food.

Haierbo was so annoyed by the young man that he could only return the things. He ignored them for several days and even stopped training Nagini to make her smaller.

Nagini complained to Tom in a low voice, "Helbo is a thousand-year-old basilisk. Humph, you are so stingy. Didn't you just eat some snacks from him before?" 】

Tom touched its head helplessly. Who asked you to empty Haierbo's snack box? It eats some snacks very sparingly. It would be better for you to finish them in one go while the snake is not paying attention.

[Stealing ghost, greedy snake! He will definitely turn into a fat pig! 】The basilisk hiding in the corner couldn't help but swim out and retorted loudly.

Nagini had Tom's support and was used to being domineering in Voldemort's manor. She cried and scolded her back, "Hiss, you are a pig. Who told you not to write your name on your box, nor on the snacks?" Call your name, and see if they answer you! 】

The angry tail of the basilisk shook like a propeller. How could this be a playmate? This is luring the wolf into the house!

The two snakes hissed and cursed at each other, which was very painful for Tom, who was caught in the middle. He felt dizzy, but he couldn't bear to scold either side.

In the end, he had no choice but to buy a lot of snacks for the two snakes with his own money, and the turmoil finally subsided.

Severus watched a good show from the sidelines, but it also made him determined that no other pets could be kept at home.

Back in time, Tom and Sev walked back home slowly, one holding a candle and the other holding a cake.

Sifu opened the door with the key as usual. What he saw was not the spacious and bright living room, but a huge and ferocious-looking white snake. It was lying on the carpet in the living room with its head facing the hall.

"Ava...cough cough...fainted! Imprison him quickly! All of them will be petrified!" Sif protected Tom behind him, pulled out his wand and pointed at the white snake.

The white snake's body froze, and the scales on its body lost their luster. The next moment, it returned to normal. It scratched its head with its tail, not noticing anything was wrong.

"Sev, that's..." Before Tom could finish his words, Sev covered his mouth, and then quickly hid by the door.

"Shh." Sev put his fingers on his lips, making a silent gesture.

Tom nodded helplessly, but he was panicking. Did he forget to give Nagini the shrinking potion? Why did I forget it at this time?

He wanted to rush into the room, but his hand was tightly held by the young man.

Sif didn't know what Tom was thinking. He looked up at the house number and then at the key in his hand. It was true that this was his home, but where were Halpo and Nagini? Are they just watching the white snake occupy their territory?

The open door allowed the heat in the room to escape. Halbo, who was sleeping on the sofa, squinted his eyes and yawned. He spat out the vomit and felt the scent of Sif and Tom.

[Hiss, Sev, Tom, you are back. ] The basilisk's lazy voice reached the door and asked them if they had brought the cake back.

Hearing this, Nagini raised her head and looked left and right, and finally dragged her huge body towards the door, [Helpo, the door is open, and no one has come back yet. Ah, Tom, Sifu, you are just waiting here. do what? Is not It Cold? 】

It looked at the alert Sif and the helpless Tom, spitting out letters and looking down at them.

Looking down? Nagini's wagging tail froze. It had repeatedly promised not to reveal that it belonged to the big snake before the young man fully accepted it. It looked at Tom for help. What should it do?

Severus heard the familiar neigh of the white snake and saw it just looking at them in confusion, and he had a bad guess in his mind.

"Nagini? Is that you?"

White Snake nodded slowly and retracted its huge body into the house.

[Hiss, Halpo, wake up, I've turned into a big snake, wuwuwu, what if Sif doesn't want me anymore? ] Nagini went straight to the sofa and asked another aborigine for help.

Haierbo opened his eyes and looked at White Snake speechlessly, "Who told you not to learn from me how to become smaller? Look, it's a bad thing."
