Chapter 63: python
After listening carefully for a while, William walked towards a certain aisle, and Cedric and the others followed.
The other party could not be a wizard. Strictly speaking, it still belongs to Hogwarts. There are only four names of William on the Marauder's map, and there are no other wizards around.
They continued to walk forward, the footsteps echoing oddly and unevenly in the long aisle.
Crack!
William stepped on a rat skull. He lowered his wand and looked at the ground, and found bones of some small animals everywhere.
"William, there's something there..." Cedric grabbed William's shoulder and said in a low voice.
The four of them stood still for a while, staring over there.
William saw the outline of a coiled behemoth lying motionless on the other side of the corridor.
He raised his wand, and the light shone on the object—a huge snakeskin, pale and fading for a long time.
The snakeskin lay coiled around on the floor of the corridor, and it was empty inside. But obviously, the giant python that took off this layer of skin was at least fifteen meters long. ?
"My God." Fred said dully, "What the **** is this?"
At this moment, the echo became clearer and clearer, the four of them looked at each other, turned around and ran away.
If you don't run, are you waiting to be eaten by that big snake?
When the four of them ran back to the corridor on the fifth floor of Hogwarts, it was almost dark.
Several people slumped on the floor of the corridor in shock, panting heavily.
"The school would actually let...such...a big snake in the depths of the castle..." Cedric said angrily.
When seeing something special, Cedric habitually likes to measure whether he can make a magic wand.
He had been thinking about the beating willow, the three-headed dog Lu Wei's fur, Dumbledore's Fox... At this time, he didn't even mention the use of the python as a wand.
After all, if you don't get it right, it will become a snack for others.
"But..." Fred covered his chest and gasped, "Cedric, don't forget, strictly speaking, the secret passage is not allowed to enter... We are violating the school rules!"
"Then we can't let the school go. It's too dangerous. Have you seen the snake skin? I dare say that the snake is sixty feet long!" George said loudly.
William calmed down and asked, "Did you find snake skins when you came last time?"
"No!" Fred said with a wry smile: "If we find out, how dare we take that secret passage, and we will die."
George nodded in agreement.
William said, "Could that snake be left by the Big Four to guard the temple and the pyramid?"
"It's possible," Cedric thought for a while, and said seriously, "Don't forget, Slytherin is most famous for Parseltongue. He might leave a giant snake at the school to guard the pyramid."
The four discussed it for a while, but whether it was temples, pyramids, coffins or giant pythons, they didn't discuss anything too useful.
However, they all agreed that this secret passage could not be walked for the time being. The ghost knows whether they will encounter a giant python that has not eaten enough food and treat them as dinner.
Similarly, Hogsmeade couldn't go today, which was really disappointing.
All in all, this adventure was quite exciting, which made William not sleep well all night.
He dreamed that a giant python swallowed him in one bite. There are also those coffins, always dangling beside him, as if beckoning him to lie in.
In the early morning, William woke up from his sleep, still thinking about the coffin in his mind.
William was a little unhappy. Although the coffin was used to lie in, it was too early to want him to lie in it now, right?
Not to mention that you can live as long as Nicole Lemay, how can you live less than Dumbledore?
William felt that he needed to find some time to burn some paper money for the Big Four, asking them to stay safe and stop dreaming about those coffins.
Um... they should all be dead?
Well... they must all be dead!
William sat up and didn't see Bobo Tea. It has become more and more outrageous recently, and often runs out at night to fool around.
William put on his coat, took a long time to wash up, and then walked out.
There are already many young wizards sitting in the common room. Today is the Quidditch final. Although it has nothing to do with Ravenclaw Academy, who doesn't love Quidditch?
In the past life, the national football team played like that, should I watch it?
After sitting for a while, William opened the wooden door of the common room and was about to find Cedric and the others, but was startled by the sight at the door.
I saw Robert standing at the door with red eyes, like a vampire, staring at every little wizard who came out.
His hair was messy and his body was shaky, giving him the feeling that he was about to die suddenly.
"Are you all right?" William stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
"It's fine, I'm just a little sleepy. I was here at four o'clock this morning," Robert replied.
He really liked that knocker. William thought he could buy a tape recorder and listen to it every day at home.
William is not someone who likes to meddle in his own business. He took two steps, but after hesitating for a moment, he turned around and said with concern, "Prefect Robert, you should go to bed."
William looked concerned, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Well, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Waiting for the Quidditch finals to start, everyone is going to watch the game, I will go back to sleep for a while." Robert thanked.
Like a wolf grandmother, William fumbled through his robes and found a blue bottle.
"Prefect, here is the life and death water that I brewed. I only gave it to a three... dog, and the effect is not bad, but human experiments have not been carried out yet.
However, I can guarantee that the efficacy of the medicine will be no problem. You only need to drink two spoons at a time to ensure that you can quickly enter a deep sleep.
Two hours can equal the average eight hours of others..."
"Really?" Robert took the blue bottle in surprise.
He opened the bottle cap, skillfully checked the color of the liquid, sniffed the smell again, and a sense of drowsiness came over him.
"Well, it is indeed life and death! Great, with this thing, I only need to sleep for two hours to be full of energy.
In this way, after the Quidditch final, I just kept guarding the door knocker in high spirits... Junior, how much should I give you? "
The corners of William's mouth became more curved. He patted Robert on the shoulder and said with a smile: "What money is not rich, you just need to tell me the data after you wake up."
"I understand, I used to test medicines for Professor Snape!" Robert laughed, "In the future, you can come to me for this kind of thing!"
William grinned and said with a smile, "Thank you, and good luck."
When William walked to the auditorium, there were already many little wizards gathered there.
