[HP+ Fantastic Beasts] Fallen

"Calm down! This can only irritate him!" Riddle grabbed Abu's wrist violently, raised the yew wood wand and cast a strong obstacle.

Then he stared at the horned viper's pupils angrily, and a dry and coercive hiss escaped from his lips——

[Stop! ]

The horned adder stopped hesitantly, its yellow eyes turned to Riddle.

The long years have endowed it with a certain intelligence.

[Human... Are you a Parseltongue? ]

[Yes. ]

[I don't eat you, but I'm hungry...that guy behind you makes me angry, get out of the way...]

Riddle looked at Abu, who was panting with his head down, and frowned.

[I thought, you can't eat him.He belongs to me. ]

The horned viper shook its head and smashed through the barrier of the impeding curse, its huge head moved in front of them, Abu's grasped wrist trembled, and he subconsciously wanted to raise his wand.

"Don't move, calm down." Riddle pressed his hand hard, took a step forward to block him more tightly, and met the horned viper's eyes with fierce light.

The horned adder hissed and stuck out his tongue, and the strong fishy smell in his mouth rushed towards the two of them.

[Don't provoke me again, Snake Whisperer...you are not my opponent...get out of the way...or I will eat you too...]

Riddle smiled softly.

[I am not your opponent, but Hai Erbo is.I think you should have lived for a long time, then you should have heard about who is the descendant of Parseltongue, and whose command does Hai Erbo listen to? ]

The horned viper is naturally no match for the basilisk Haierbo. Although the basilisk has been asleep for thousands of years, it can feel that the basilisk is still alive——

The deterrent force coming from the direction of Hogwarts made it only dare to wander far in the middle of the Forbidden Forest to look for food even if its appetite was getting bigger and bigger.

Therefore, even though the snake whisperer in front of him might be lying, the horned viper did not dare to take the risk easily.

Besides, it had indeed heard of the One from the distant past, the oldest and most powerful beings in the Forbidden Forest, and feared the great dark wizard named Slytherin.

Its long life has benefited from the cautiousness that is different from ordinary snakes since birth.

Taking a last look at the delicious food that was already in his mouth, the giant snake slowly turned its heavy body and crawled towards the depths of the dark forest.

Riddle exhaled.In fact, he hasn't found the basilisk yet, and he doesn't know how to wake it up, but he is also betting on the fear of the basilisk.

Summoning the Patronus, let it bring news to Grindelwald that there is a giant snake in the Forbidden Forest. Riddle found a bottle of soothing potion from the pocket that cast the space extension spell, and handed it to Abu.

"Senior Malfoy, do you want to take a break?"

After gulping down the soothing potion, Abu licked his lips that were stained with the bitter taste of the potion, "No, just keep going."

"I'm a Parseltongue, you..." Riddle hesitated to speak, he didn't tell anyone about his Parseltongue, and the Slytherin students knew what the Parseltongue represented. most clearly.

But Abu was unexpectedly calm.

"I know. If you don't want to tell others, I will naturally help you keep the secret."

------

Abu gently rubbed his slightly hot wrist.

His consciousness was a bit hazy, and he was barely able to wake up when the cold wind with the smell of mud blew in the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night.

It was too much of a gaffe. When facing the African horned adder, his mind went blank for a few moments, as if he had lost consciousness.

Later, regarding the fact that Riddle is a Parseltongue, he didn't react as a Slytherin who "just got the news" should have.

Frowning in annoyance, he walked quickly to the lake a few steps away. Abu just wanted to finish collecting castor grass quickly and forget about this night.

The castor grass glowed with a light blue light like a dream. Abu grabbed a weed and turned it into a small shovel, squatting down and carefully shoveling away the soil around the rhizome of this delicate herb.

Riddle also squatted beside him, carefully picking the castor grass by its roots.

The moonlight is very good tonight, and you can see the other party's face clearly, with every detail clearly visible.

But neither of them spoke. It was the time when they were prone to sleepiness. They had just experienced another shock, and they felt extra tired after relaxing.

Collecting castor grass is a meticulous and boring task, and the eyelids can't help drooping, and the process of collecting is repeated over and over again mechanically.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, and mist gradually formed on the surface of the clear and calm small lake under the moonlight.

The air is filled with moist water vapor, and faintly mixed with sweet and greasy floral fragrance.

The Forbidden Forest also calmed down the turmoil at night, no wind, very quiet, and occasionally distant birdsong.

Abu yawned a little, his consciousness was a little hazy, and he wanted to talk to Riddle about something to stay awake and vigilant.

"Riddle..."

The voice stopped abruptly, he didn't notice that the two were so close, he turned his head slightly, and the tip of each other's noses touched.

The facial features of the young man in front of him were exquisite and distinct, and a pair of gloomy black eyes were like a deep pool.

Leading to drowning.

Riddle hummed lightly, his shallow nasal voice sounded like sleepy words.

The sweet floral fragrance is getting stronger and stronger——

The two of them drowsily approached until their lips and teeth were close together, and there was a greasy fragrance of flowers in their breath——

Sink.

"Clear water is like a spring."

Icy water fell from the sky.

Grindelwald leaned lazily on a tree on one side, looking at the drenched two who were awakened with a half-smile.

Abu froze in place, unable to react to what happened for a while.

There is only the moist temperature between the lips.

Grindelwald took a few steps and bent to pick a small, unassuming, rice grain-sized white flower around them.

"Love Grass," he sniffed lightly, looked at the two jokingly, and whistled, "it has a sweet fragrance, and smelling it for a long time will make people... fall in love."

Abu: ...

Riddle quietly caressed his lips behind his back.

Throwing a drying spell to the two of them, Grindelwald looked at the castor grass that he had collected, and raised his chin at them, "It's almost enough, it's getting late, let's go."

------

Abu was so embarrassed that he didn't look at Riddle all the way, and he quickened his pace. When he reached the cellar, he simply said goodbye, turned around and entered the bedroom.

Grindelwald, who had turned into Dumbledore, rubbed his chin thoughtfully, staring back into Riddle's eyes.

Riddle was not guilty either, and looked at him confidently.

"My clever student... You, who were collecting castor grass by the lake yesterday, didn't you find the existence of the love grass?"

Without directly answering Grindelwald's question, Riddle smiled reservedly.

"Teacher, you came earlier."
