"Born from the flames of magic, the Flame Serpent emerges from the ashes of the flames, swims into dark corners to lay eggs, and leaves a trail of ash in its wake. They only have a lifespan of one hour, and when they lay eggs in a hidden place, their bodies will be shattered and turned to dust. Fire ash snake eggs are red in color and have extremely strong heat. ”

—In Newt's Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

The gray-white "earthworm" was actually a fiery snake that had been enchanted by Professor Kettleburn.

As Professor Billy prepares to stop the duel between the two actors, the red light in his eyes suddenly shakes violently.

Then, the giant fiery snake uncontrollably rushed down the stage and crawled towards the location where a group of Slytherin's junior wizards had gathered.

Sven saw Strange and Avery sitting in the crowd talking, confidently telling people that it was one of the Christmas dinner items, so that he could pretend to know a lot......

Seeing these two people, Shivin subconsciously glanced to Professor Slughorn's right hand, only to find that Riddle had disappeared without knowing when.

"Professor, where's Riddle?" Xiwen was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously.

"Tom just said he was going to the bathroom and left the auditorium early." Professor Slughorn pulled out his wand with a solemn look on his face and said to Sven. "Now it seems that he left at the right time, just in time to avoid this danger."

Xiwen furrowed his eyebrows, always feeling that something was wrong.

However, now was not the time to wonder, the Grey Serpent moved quickly, and had quickly crawled in front of Strange and Avery. Looking at the big snake's ugly face and hideous eyes, the two of them showed panicked and frightened expressions, and no longer self-righteously thought that this was an exciting banquet event.

"Sylvanus, look what you've done again?!" Principal Duppet stood up and shouted loudly. "If you can't control your magical beasts, don't bring them to the castle!"

The old headmaster raised his wand and chanted a contraction spell on the fire snake, trying to reduce the danger of the fire snake to a normal level.

However, at this moment, a strange "hiss" sound came from nowhere.

After hearing this strange voice, the red light in the eyes of the Fire Gray Snake immediately fluctuated. Immediately, its entire body exploded before Principal Dipper's contraction spell could fly, turning into a blazing fire that lit up the entire auditorium!

Professor Meleth and Professor Slughorn had been on guard against the Grey Serpent getting out of control, and they chanted a spell at the same time, covering the young wizards with a thick transparent barrier in front of them, blocking the impact of the Grey Serpent's explosion.

However, the decoration of the auditorium was not so lucky.

The twelve Christmas trees around it, as well as the many mistletoe parasites in the sky, were ignited in an instant, and a raging fire burned out. The wooden floor of the auditorium was also quickly attacked by the flames, and the flames gradually showed a tendency to spread throughout the auditorium.

Disaster strikes at it, as Professor Billy rushes onto the stage, standing between the two actors in an attempt to stop the duel between them. However, the violent explosion of the fire ash snake caught his attention, and he was momentarily hit in the head by two spells from the unlucky knight and the Armata actor at the same time.

Most of the upper Hogwarts students are already very powerful, not to mention that these two actors are already excellent. Professor Billy fell to the ground in agony, his head getting a full circle!

"Professor!"

"Professor Billy!"

Knowing that they had made a big mistake, the two actors finally stopped the duel of love and hatred and lifted Professor Billy up from the ground.

In such a situation, the whole auditorium became a mess!

Some of the staff and students in the auditorium were fighting the fire, some were dodging where there were no flames, and some were rushing towards the door of the auditorium in a chaotic huddle......

"Calm down, it's just a small fire!" Principal Dippet stepped on the table and shouted condescendingly. "Now, all the students stop moving."

"The senior students use the Iron Armor Spell and the Water and Fire Inviolability Spell to protect themselves and the surrounding junior wizards, and the junior ones move closer to the senior wizards in order!"

Under the rational arrangement of Principal Dipet, the situation finally improved.

The professors used the Flame-Freezing Charm and the Water-Making Charm to suppress the fire in the auditorium, gradually extinguishing the fire caused by the Flame Snake.

"Huma, help the wounded!" After extinguishing the fire, Headmaster Dupaet stepped down from the table and looked at Mrs. Darel.

Lady Darryl had just finished dealing with the effects of Asha's pimple curse and was diagnosing Professor Billley. Hearing Principal Dippert's instructions, she nodded slightly.

Everyone in the auditorium was terrified, but fortunately, most of them had experience of dealing with the collapse of the castle last year, and they were not too overwhelmed. Even the first-year wizards who didn't experience last year's incident contributed to the restoration of the auditorium under the leadership of their seniors.

After dealing with the effects of the fire, the mood gradually calmed down, and Principal Dippet instructed the prefects who remained at the school to lead the students back to the common room.

Today's Christmas feast ended hastily in a mess.

Shivin didn't follow the prefect back to the common room, he now had a doubt in his mind, and he was going to find Riddle to ask for clarification.

However, as he passed a half-charred Christmas tree, he suddenly saw a faint red glow under the tree. Looking back at the rest of the auditorium, you can see that most of the corners are glowing red like flames.

"Be careful, there may be a fire snake running out to lay eggs!" Professor Kettleburn noticed the scene at the same time, shouting from the side of the stage. "Freeze them with a Freezing Spell!"

At this time, the red light emitted by the fire ash snake eggs became more and more obvious, which was a sign that they were about to hatch a new fire ash snake and come out. Once so many small fire snakes hatch, the auditorium will be in full swing!

However, there were so many Grey Snake Eggs that the Professors didn't have time to get rid of all the Grey Snake Eggs in a short period of time, so they could only freeze a small number with a Freezing Spell, and then watched as many of the Grey Snake eggs that had turned red hatched out into new Grey Snakes!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiwen secretly gritted his teeth, and then pressed his hand heavily on the ground-

Icy tendrils of Yinktaron!

Where each of the red fiery snake eggs were, several ice-blue tentacles emerged out of thin air from beneath the ground, wrapping around the eggs that were about to hatch, freezing them all.

A catastrophe disappeared in an instant......
