[HP] Similar but different

Harry had no reason to refuse.He had a vague feeling that something other than the meal was going to happen, but after the meal, Voldemort announced that he needed to rest, because he hadn't slept a wink the night before.

Harry had a lot to say about what exactly Voldemort was up to that night and whether it was really just a sleepless night.But it was obviously impossible for him to stop Voldemort from catching up on sleep, so he was rather resentful, so he had to adopt the most stupid way of waiting for a rabbit.

Fortunately, there was a small study in the tent where he could pass the time.The thick history book was quite boring, he nodded his head while reading it, and fell asleep after a while.When he was about to wake up, his body conveyed to him the fact that he was lying in bed.

Even if Harry wasn't quite clear-headed, he knew he couldn't sleepwalk from the armchair to the bed. "Tom..." he yelled in a daze, subconsciously touching the other side of the bed—

Cold and smooth, hard and dense, like some kind of scales...

Wait, scales? !

Harry woke up suddenly.As if to drive him away, as soon as he opened his eyes, he found that his field of vision was completely occupied by two golden vertical pupils, which were about the size of a desk lamp, and his nose was full of the cold smell of reptiles.

"... Nagini?" He reacted quickly, and when he got up, he inevitably retreated to the bed.Then he realized he was speaking English, and said it again in Parseltongue.

Nagini looked at him with his triangular head raised, motionless.

If a snake could have expressions, then Nagini's face must be full of unkindness at this moment... Harry had only this thought for a while.Then he finally remembered what he was going to do, and quickly looked to both sides - the bedroom was empty, except for him, only the big snake entangled on the quilt.

"Where's Tom?" As soon as he said this, he felt that the big snake's gaze was getting worse, so he could only make up for it: "Where's your master?"

Nagini was still staring at him.It didn't hiss until Harry began to think seriously about how to get to the wand on the nightstand in less time than the snake had bit his neck. "He's awake."

Harry almost rolled his eyes, he knew it without saying it. "I'm asking what he's doing now," he emphasized.Seeing that the big snake didn't seem to have any intention of attacking him, he carefully moved his legs and pulled them out from under the quilt.

During this period, Nagini made no further moves.When Harry put on his glasses and put his wand back into his sleeve, he became more courageous: "What time is it?"

Nagini watched Harry put on his shoes. "I don't know, it's getting dark anyway."

"Huh?" Harry was surprised, he didn't expect to sleep for so long.But Dumbledore didn't make it clear what he wanted him to do, nor when he asked him to go back, so it shouldn't matter much.He felt relieved again, "You haven't said where he went yet?"

"Right here." Nagini finally answered the question.

The big snake seemed to care about words like gold, and Harry could only understand that Voldemort was still in this tent.His first reaction was to look for the other party, but the two shadowy gazes on his body made him unable to leave like this. "What are you looking at me for?"

"I heard that you are different, but I didn't see it."

Originally, Harry was only going to say something perfunctory, but this made him change his mind. "What?" he asked, sniffing out a key smell, "what's the difference you want to find?"

The big snake swung its tail and slowly swam to the ground, making a slippery rustling sound. "You should know what I'm talking about."

Even a snake can trick him?Harry had to think it was a sign of being with the Dark Lord for so long. "Should I know?" he asked back, thinking hard at the same time - he didn't want to be despised by snakes for IQ - "You mean he chose me?"

"Obviously." The big snake snorted—if it could hum, "I can see how much influence you have on him, but I don't see why you can make him change."

Seriously, Harry didn't like hearing that.Although everything today is quite unimaginable three years ago, this does not mean that he has not put in effort.The first thing that popped into his mind was prophecy, but explaining fate to a snake is too much to estimate...

"Just because I'm his Horcrux?" He finally chose the most straightforward one.

"Yeah, that's right, Horcruxes." Nagini answered quickly—Harry could hear the strong indignation inexplicably, "but this can only guarantee that he won't kill you, right?"

Harry didn't answer for a moment.He had suspected that Orochi might not have heard of Horcruxes at all, but now, it turned out that Voldemort trusted his pets extremely—not necessarily the most. "Considering that he was resurrected with my blood, we should die together," he said forcefully, "provided that he only has my Horcrux left."

Nagini exhaled dramatically through his nostrils. "None of that is a problem," it hissed. "Just to remind you, we're talking about a certain aspect."

Harry couldn't see the need for him to make a snake understand his love life, but he could see that if he couldn't give an answer that satisfied the snake, he wouldn't be able to get out of the bedroom smoothly. "What's going on today?" He asked helplessly, "You suddenly want me to give you an explanation?"

"It wasn't sudden," Nagini seemed to snort, "Do you think that according to normal circumstances, our first meeting is now?"

Of course it's impossible... Compared with the time when he met Hedwig, Harry quickly came up with a negative answer, but it was not easy for him to say that. "So what do you mean? He simply refused you to appear in front of me? Then shouldn't you ask him?" He asked back like a cannonball.

But the big snake just pretended not to hear. "Comparing you with other people, he's pampering you." Its hissing voice seemed to have a slight sneer, "Pampering is actually nothing, but it's used on people who don't deserve it... "

Harry was really starting to lose his temper.Intellectually, he knew that it was pointless to argue with a snake; but he couldn't bear to be judged like that by a snake, especially when that snake was Voldemort's pet. "I don't know if it's worth letting the snake decide now." He retorted bitterly.

"Of course I don't count what I said," Nagini bowed instantly, with a standard attack ready posture, "but what are you? You were kept in the dark from the beginning to the end... Oh, no," it corrected itself halfway Speech, "You can only see what you want to see in your eyes."

Harry's hand was already on his wand when the snake first moved, but he hadn't expected what he would hear. "What do you mean?" He couldn't help asking, "What do you mean I can only see what I want to see?"

"It's literally," Big Snake said disdainfully, "You don't really think you know everything, do you? But it's also possible, after all, you're reckless and impulsive..."

In normal times, Harry would have to go after whoever told Nagini he was reckless and impulsive.Now, however, he only wants to know what he doesn't know. "Speak clearly," he demanded loudly.

Nagini stared at him, his slender nose flaring rapidly.After that peak passed, it continued to ask: "Do you really want to know?"

Harry nodded immediately.

This seemed to calm the snake a little.It swam again, the tip of its tail wrapped around Harry's ankle.

It was cold and dangerous to the touch, and Harry shivered unconsciously.He could see that the big snake had a tendency to coil him up, and it must feel bad to be surrounded by a poisonous snake, but he couldn't back down now——

Nagini circled him three times quickly, until it could look down on him at the closest distance.

"Are you willing to say it now?" Harry kept forcing himself to meet those golden vertical pupils.

Orochi seemed to be quite happy with this posture. "He's trapped..." it hissed. "After realizing this, he kept looking for a way out. However, it was difficult, it was so difficult..." It seemed to be sighing, "What he Everything you do is for that, and you, you know nothing."

There was no doubt condescending pity in the last sentence, or irony, whichever was beyond Harry's tolerance. "If that's the case," he gritted his teeth, "why didn't he tell me?"

"He told you?" Nagini seemed to find it ridiculous, "Do you think he is you? Confess everything about yourself without reservation?"

Harry choked for a moment. "But I didn't find out..."

Nagini's rebuttal came even faster. "Believe me, he won't be easily discovered by anyone, including you."

but you know what?Harry thought reflexively, but didn't say it.What Nagini said may not be completely true, after all, it is a snake; but it cannot be groundless, after all, Voldemort is indeed that kind of character. "Let go of me." He said coldly.

He thought he still needed to work hard, but Orochi untied that restraint graciously. "Want to find him? Just right, I'm going too."

Being compared again made Harry's stomach a little more angry, but he still followed the big snake out the door.Turn left, turn right, a half-hidden door soon appeared in front of you, and there was a faint voice.He hesitated for a moment, and saw that Nagini swam in without hesitation, so he raised his legs and went in too.

Inside was a small room, like a reception room, and it was true that Voldemort was not the only one.Accurately describe, in addition to the Dark Lord, there is little Crouch, and the woman he met once...

Bellatrix Lestrange!

Harry drew his wand instantly.
