[HP] Snake

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Severus, who had been quiet beside me and almost made me subconsciously ignore him, suddenly made an angry voice, pulling back my drifting thoughts.

"Sev, I'm sorry, I... well, you can open your eyes now, Basrisk said his eyes won't hurt you." I didn't dare to say that I ignored him, and sneaked a guilty glance at Yuzi The man standing upright with his eyes closed subconsciously changed the subject.

The next moment, Severus's dark eyes opened suddenly, and the anger that could not be ignored burst out suddenly, which made my heart jump suddenly, sour and unspeakably uncomfortable, I dare not look at it any more , had no choice but to lower his head and knead the robes under his hands at a loss.

"Damn little bastard, what are you thinking?" The weight on the top of the head suddenly fell, and Severus rubbed it heavily with the palm of his hand a few times. Although the words that came out were vicious, there was a trace of unmistakable concern.

At the same time, I felt the man's emotions in my heart, some angry, some shocked, some worried, some helpless, so complicated that it was difficult to identify them one by one, but my heart couldn't help becoming warm.

"No...it's nothing, sorry, Sev, it's just that Basilisk told me about my bloodline." I follow the force of his palm moving from the top of the head to the chin, and look up at him obediently. Li found a trace of satisfaction, and then he settled down and apologized to him sincerely.

"What?! That bloodline of yours?! This basilisk knows?!" Severus' eyes widened suddenly, and he pointed to Basilisk's big head rubbing against my waist, and said in surprise.

"Well, he said—"

"Damn it, don't you want this idiot's head?! How dare...how dare!!!"

I was about to reply to his words, but his eyes widened all of a sudden, with raging anger bursting out from within, and he roared straight at Basilisk.

I was stunned for a moment, then lowered my head stiffly, and found that Basilisk was originally just a big head leaning against my waist. One side was rubbed against the side of the neck slightly.

"Basilisk!!!" In desperation, I even forgot to speak Parseltongue, and shouted the name of Basilisk, my heart was filled with the anger and anger that belonged to Severus, but Can't help but feel a little sweet.

[Bass... hiss... Bass... hiss... why are you entangled in Harry... hiss... come here to hiss with Johnsy...] Johnsy's voice suddenly appeared, breaking the somewhat awkward situation.

I saw that Johnsy, who was trying her best to wrap herself around Basilisk, was constantly rubbing against Basilisk, but unfortunately she was really not as long as Basilisk. Lucy couldn't reach Basilisk's head anyway.

[Joan... Hiss... I... Hiss...Master...] Basilisk slowly moved his head away, turned his head and rubbed it against Johnsy's head.

"Sev, this was just an accident, you..." You peeked awkwardly at the man who was covered in cold air, and said awkwardly.

Severus didn't say much, just glared at Basilisk, then snorted coldly, and turned his head away.

"Go on, that lineage."

"Well, Bass...cough cough...he said that I am a descendant of some kind of ancient snake tribe, and you are my destined mate." Just as he was about to say Basilisk's name, Severus glared again. I glanced at it, and I had to quickly explain the point.

"Ancient snake clan? What about the thing on your leg?" Severus frowned after hearing my explanation.

"It should be the snake pattern, hehe, maybe one day, I will suddenly become a snake." Standing on tiptoe, reaching out to brush his frowning brows, "Don't worry, since it's the awakening of the blood, it won't be a snake." There is no special harm. Bas...cough...he also said that as long as I become an adult, I can sign a contract with you, and then you can understand Parseltongue."

When I mentioned signing the contract, my cheeks became uncontrollably warm.

Severus turned his head slightly, the tip of his ear just brushed against my fingertips, and the slight warmth of the touch made me understand that he was obviously shy about the same thing.

"What are we going to do next? Take these two stupid snakes back?" Severus quickly returned to his usual look, raising his eyebrows a little coldly.

"No, it's very suitable for them to stay here, and they will naturally come to the cellar to find me if they have something to do. As for the next step, I think, maybe, Sev, you will be interested in a few secret rooms in Slytherin?"

Sure enough, the man's dark eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he looked at me eagerly.

————————————————————

Since visiting several of Salazar's chambers, Severus has spent most of the day there, completely ignoring me as a companion who needs his company.

I really regret that I explained the damn blood issue to him that day, otherwise, he would still be by my side all day like before, even if he spends most of his time reading books and flipping through materials.

Oh damn potions, damn black magic!

A few days before Halloween, when passing through an empty corridor, I ran into a preoccupied person by chance, um, no, it was a preoccupied soul.The ghost of Gryffindor Castle, Nearly Headless Nick, was looking out the window gloomily, muttering something under his breath.

"What are you doing?"

"Ah...who?!" He was obviously taken aback, his incorporeal body dangled in the air a few times before turning his head to look at me, "S...Your Excellency Slytherin!"

The moment he saw me, he trembled all over, almost shaking his head that was only connected to one side.

"It's me," I raised the corners of my lips, showing a standard aristocratic smirk, "then, maybe, you can answer me about what you are doing here."

"Yes...it's the Headless Hunters...they..." He was still a little timid at first, and then he pulled out a piece of transparent parchment from his pocket, and his expression suddenly became indignant, "We Only hunters with heads separated from their bodies are acceptable. You will be fully aware that if this were not the case, it would be impossible for members to participate in hunter team events such as horseback headlining and overhead balls. I therefore regret to inform you that you Not eligible for us. With regards, Mr. Patrick Debord...damn I got a full 44 blows to the neck with a blunt ax! I mean, I want this thing more than anyone Clean and tidy, hope my head is completely and completely cut off! I mean, it would save me a lot of pain and not be made fun of, but... just a little bit of skin and tendons attached to my Neck! Most people would think that this is actually the same as losing the head! But no, in the eyes of Mr. Debordmore, who has completely lost his head, this is not enough!"

Headless Hunter?Horse back show?Heading the ball?Lose your head?

I suddenly found that it was difficult for me to understand the minds of these ghosts. It was amazingly strange, wasn't it?

"This year's Halloween will be my [-]th birthday!" "Nearly Headless" Nick suddenly changed his appearance, puffed out his chest, and announced proudly.

"Really..." I looked at the strange-thinking ghost in front of me speechlessly, and said dryly.

"I'm having a party in one of the more spacious dungeons for my death-day party, and my friends will be coming from all over the country. It would be my great honor if you could attend, my lord Slytherin." Your Mightiness."

"The Deathday Party?" It sounded interesting, I nodded noncommittally, "I think I will go, but it may take a while, you know, there is a Halloween dinner at Hogwarts."

"Oh, yes, of course," he said with a smile, "Maybe, I think, Lord Slytherin, you can mention to Mr. Patrick Debord that you think I'm particularly scary, Very impressive, okay?"

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with it." Ghosts can have wishes for their birthdays, can't they?

When we got back to the cellar, Severus and I mentioned about Nicol. He obviously scoffed at the castle ghost's so-called Deathday party, but he didn't say much.

————————————————————

Halloween is coming soon, neither Severus nor I have deliberately dressed up, but we are dressed in black as usual, which is more in tune with the atmosphere of this spooky decorated hall.

About half an hour into the dinner, we each had our stomachs full and left the table.You know, it is probably impossible to prepare any proper food for the living at the death party of the ghost.

The aisle that leads to Nearly Headless Nick's Deathday party is lit with candles, and the effect is even more spooky than the hall: the candles are dark, thin candles that flicker as they burn The blue light illuminated the entire corridor in an eerie way.With every step we take, the temperature drops.Severus shook his right hand, which had been gripping his wand, and cast a warming charm on us.

At this time, a sound came from the end of the aisle, as if a thousand fingernails were scraping back and forth on a huge blackboard, which made people palpitate.

"Maybe, these idiots think that such a thing is called music." Severus snorted coldly, and the voice of gnashing of teeth against the scene made it look even more eerie.

We turned a corner and arrived at the location of the so-called Deathday Party...
