The Snake Wife of the HP Professor

Ch.02: Encounter

The Forbidden Forest in April exudes vitality, the evening sun is scattered, and a few huge eight-eyed spiders are crawling among the trees.A giant silver-white snake slid down from the branches and leaves without a sound, and a few transparent silk threads entangled from the strange red pattern on its head, trapping the spiders gently but quickly, and the spiders showed no resistance power, and then disappeared in place.

"Hiss, today's supper is done!" Silver Snake spat out the letter cheerfully.

The silver snake is Zenobia Hayes who came from Shattered Dimension half a year ago.She didn't intend to come to the Forbidden Forest. Three months ago, she found that although her magic power was greatly damaged, her soul and body had been strengthened in the process of traveling through time and space. On the contrary, her realm had improved slightly, and she was able to transform into a human body—even though it was only a human body with a snake tail. half-snake state.She is very happy and doesn't care if she has legs or not. Anyway, besides walking, she mostly relies on her hands to do things.

With the half-snake form, Zenobia no longer presses herself to practice. After all, her magic is innate. In the absence of Galga, if she wants to grow, it mainly depends on time accumulation. Reasonable meditation can also Pay attention to letting nature take its course.In Galjia back then, without the knowledge and power directly passed down from her parents, she would never have broken through to the holy rank so quickly.

Therefore, the silver snake, who is not in a hurry to practice, shrinks in size, hides its magic power, and enters human society as an ordinary little snake—even if this is not the world it used to be, even if this is not China, but it has never been extinguished Nostalgia urged her to take a look at this kind world.

Then, by chance, she saw a few wizards, and after evaluating them, she was sure that those wizards were not her opponents.It is to hide silently on one person, use magic to isolate the other's perception, and follow the wizard into the magical world.

...Okay! She admitted that she was a little curious, just like when she left Galja. After all, the once human soul, after so many years of living in seclusion, sometimes feels lonely.

But Zenobia really didn't expect to be able to enter Hogwarts... Since she came, no one noticed the existence of a little snake, so she settled down in the Forbidden Forest as a matter of course.Even the white-bearded headmaster who controls everything doesn't know everything about the Forbidden Forest.Zenobia vaguely remembered that there were many eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest, but it seemed that Dumbledore didn't know about it.

Besides, she is not afraid of anything, she does not want to participate in the story.The Forbidden Forest, or the whole of Hogwarts, is indeed richer and more active in magical elements than other places, and it is definitely a good place for her to practice.

The Silver Snake who has settled down has retained the living habits of Galja, meditating and practicing, studying the magic books left by his parents and collected by himself-oh, thank God.She thought that although most of the things were destroyed during the time travel, fortunately these rare books and rare potion ores were protected by the soul space.

Of course, she would set aside a moderate rest time every day, explore and explore in the Forbidden Forest, and occasionally go to Hogwarts to observe the life of the little wizard.

Eight-eyed spiders are a great harvest of her expedition: Tsk, I heard somewhere that roasted spiders taste like shrimps, Zenobia was very curious.One day I caught one for supper, and found that the taste is very wonderful, it doesn't taste like shrimp, but it has an endless aftertaste.

Silver Snake is in love with roasted spiders, especially a kind of flower that is ripe with a full moon, and the juice spread on roasted spiders is so delicious that she wants to swallow her tongue.Recently, Zenobia was considering whether to change the cooking method. The baked goods that she had eaten for too long... Unfortunately, the tableware was not complete.

In addition... the girl with a snake tail looked at the fewer and fewer seasoning flowers, and felt a little regretful: there are not many such flowers in the Forbidden Forest, and the maturity period is long... not enough to eat! Maybe I should look for other seasonings?

It was another full moon night, and a few wolf howls could be heard faintly in the distance.Zenobia thought casually, there seemed to be a werewolf... She set up a space restriction at will, she sat cross-legged near the "seasoned flower", while roasting the spider on a fire, she pulled a lot of flowers, rubbed them, and used magic Squeeze out the juice and apply it to the spider.This seasoning flower is the most delicious when picked just before it blooms.

The tempting aroma of the food pleased the beauty snake, and she hummed involuntarily.Just when she couldn't wait to taste the delicious spider, the out-of-tune tune in her throat stopped abruptly.

—someone!

Zenobia was slightly startled, who would have quietly broken the space restriction she set up?It should be noted that space magic is extremely special, not only the strength of magic power is important, but the most important thing is the hidden and complicated alchemy principle.Even if her magic power is greatly damaged, she is far from her father's attainments in space magic, but it is almost impossible to break the restriction without disturbing her.

Although secretly surprised, she didn't panic, and looked sideways calmly...

Snape couldn't wait to go to the Forbidden Forest as soon as it was dark: the full moon is the time when the moonflowers mature, but in the past two months, the moonflowers in the Forbidden Forest were picked first by some splendens-minded giant , the key is to know at a glance that the pickers don't understand potions at all, and so much wasted!Merlin's smelly socks!Must be the first to pick today.

'Better not to let me know who spoiled the potion! '

Since returning here inexplicably, Snape began to think about his future arrangements after experiencing a short period of confusion: he hadn't joined the Death Eaters yet, and Lily was still alive and well.Although……

All tragedies have yet to happen.He still has time to prepare, doesn't he? Of course, as the "future" potions master, what he can do now, as a fifth-year Slytherin student, is mainly to brew his beloved potion.

A few wolf howls in the distance made Snape pause slightly, and then rushed towards Moonlight Flower aggressively.

The Potions Professor's sensitive sense of smell smelled a strange and alluring food aroma that should not exist at all, and a woman's singing was faintly wafted.Snape immediately became vigilant, there was something weird ahead.He didn't intend to turn back, the habit of being a professor at Hogwarts for many years made him decide to find out who dared to start a fire in the Forbidden Forest, and cast a disillusionment spell and lightness spell to make him approach silently.

Zenobia could feel the approaching person. With excellent night vision, she followed the person's breath, but she didn't see anything... The snake's tail curled up unconsciously, and she immediately understood.The magic system here is very different from the spells. On the one hand, it is not particularly powerful, but on the other hand, it is very special.She really can't do this kind of magic that can make her completely invisible... However, that doesn't hinder her.Her mind is not on magic research for the time being.

In fact, the guard just now has completely turned into surprise at this moment... Zenobia suddenly understood why the other party broke her restriction silently: because the isolation restriction she set up was completely useless to the other party, that is to say, Before the person came into his alert range, her voice and even the spider scent had already attracted the other party's attention due to the ineffectiveness of the prohibition and isolation.

And the reason why her space restriction is ineffective for this person is because the visitor has very little residual power of the space artifact and her original soul power.So……

Zenobia understood that this person was accidentally involved in the space-time rift when she shattered the space, and the magic and space artifact she emitted accidentally protected the opponent's soul... No wonder, her artifact was wiped out, and His own strength has been damaged so badly.But maybe it's time to praise the other party's soul for being tough enough, otherwise the two of them will now be annihilated in the cracks of time and space!

...In fact, they are really destined, do you want to get to know each other?Zenobia's thinking was jumping out of control: After all, the other party possessed a little of her soul power, which barely formed a weak contract restraint. Although there were not many restrictions on her, the other party was affected by her. Equivalent exchange.

However, let's evaluate the strength and character of the person first. She thought about it, but she didn't think of any speculation that her strange half-human, half-snake state might cause others.

In fact, when Zenobia was surprised and sighed, Snape was also surprised.The girl's long snake tail made him stiffen unconsciously, after all...he died under the snake's teeth.Soon, he suppressed his unpleasant feeling, and from a distance, with a sharp eye spell, he looked at the girl who suddenly turned his head: the girl around ten years old had a typical oriental face, with a strange red line between her eyebrows. Wearing a silver dress that seems to be a national characteristic, the bright moonlight falls on her body-even if the snake tail is frightening-this girl looks very innocent and harmless, if you ignore the ridiculous grilled spider on her hand .

Failed Animagus?Snape felt terribly wrong.He naturally doubted the girl's identity... In fact, he didn't think there was anything suspicious about the girl.

However, now that he is not a professor, how should he treat girls?Come forward to question?What position do you have!Report to the principal?joke.Slytherin is not a stupid lion without a brain!So, pretend to know nothing and leave quietly?How can it be!Now that the situation is grim, the suspicious man has no choice but to explore the suspicious person in front of him... and obviously, the other party has discovered him, not to mention that Moonlight Flower is mature, he...

Damn it!That piece of moonlight flowers was ruined by someone, and the culprit was obviously the mysterious girl in front of him... Thinking of the two moonlight flowers that he had seen before, Snape immediately had the urge to deduct [-] points from Gryffindor .

All kinds of thinking are just a matter of a moment.The half-snake sensed the hesitation of people, and the completely unsociable silver snake was used to talking and doing things straight, so he waved the arm holding the grilled spider to the invisible person, and greeted in stuttering English: "hi, u...eatornot? Theyaregoodgoodeat!" (Hey, do you want to eat, these are delicious!)

——Father God, her English is not considered excellent, and she has almost forgotten it after so many years! She only remembers some vocabulary, but she doesn't know how to express it correctly.

Snape didn't expect Silver Snake to react so directly, and he really hesitated for a moment... The girl's harmless smile and messy stammering expression unavoidably made one's mind loose.Of course, the suspicion was deeper... He didn't linger for too long, he undid the illusion spell, kept vigilant, and asked coldly, "Who are you and why are you here? Hogwarts doesn't allow outsiders to come and go ...Don't you know that fires are not allowed in the Forbidden Forest?"

The crackling of English made Zenobia dizzy, but fortunately she understood the first sentence.She replied: "I'm Zenobia Hayes, andu?"

"You came to the Forbidden Forest just to make friends?" Snape didn't intend to have any friendly talks with this inexplicable guy with unknown strength. "I don't think this is the place for you to stay."

Zenobia looked at him blankly.

Snape found helplessly that he couldn't communicate with this strange girl at all, and the other party obviously couldn't understand what he said, which undoubtedly showed that the other party's background was even more suspicious.However, with years of experience as a double agent, he has an intuition that at least for now, this girl is not malicious.

Snape finally decided not to bother with this inexplicable business - if the other party didn't get in his way - after all, Hogwarts has those professors, and the greatest white wizard of this century, there is really no danger Until he, a student, bothered to eliminate it.

He walked to the edge of the blooming moonlight lace, squatted down, and picked the potion with extreme care. Naturally, he didn't really relax his guard against the girl.Seeing the ruined Moonlight Flower and realizing the eyes following him, he was secretly annoyed, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn Merlin!"

Zenobia gnawed on the spider sullenly.Although she doesn't know how to deal with people, this young man is too gloomy! Since the other party ignored her overtures, she had no choice but to observe and evaluate this potential contract partner by herself.

After hearing the boy's dissatisfied low reprimand and seeing his cautious actions, Zenobia suddenly realized: So this flower is very precious!A person is used to talking to himself, and Silver Snake couldn't help but ask again when he had doubts: "Flowers?"

When Snape heard the girl's voice, he didn't intend to pay attention to it, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the girl's hand about to grab the moonlight flower, and spat out the venom dissatisfied: "I suppose, since this young lady can't understand the charm of potion, it's better to take care of it." Good for your noble hands, let go of these poor moonlight flowers."

Zenobia was confused by Snape's words. Although she didn't understand, she could feel the other party's dissatisfaction... This person's voice is good.she thought vaguely.

Withdrawing her hand from picking the moonlight flower, Zenobia felt that it might be necessary to explain, so she pointed at the moonlight flower and then at the unfinished spider: "Eat!"

Snape understood what the girl meant, and couldn't help but want to vomit the venom again, but seeing the other party's innocent and confused expression, he thought he couldn't explain clearly at all, so he could only swallow the words dissatisfied... Seeing that the other party didn't waste any more potions on the score.

Such a man, half snake, got along strangely for a long time—Snape was picking potion ingredients, and Zenobia kept watching curiously from a distance.
