It was a huge snake.

A large snake with three heads, the left head looks calm and wise, the middle head looks listless, and the right head looks fierce and impatient.

This is a level 4x runi snake. It was huge, even more exaggerated than what Luke had seen in the books. Moreover, all three heads of this runi snake are intact, and even the scars of the battle are rare, which is quite rare among runi snakes.

Looking at the big snake with its head bowed and quite respectful, George and Fred thought of another legend of the Gaunt family.

Luke stood still, staring at the serpent.

When the serpent was four or five paces away from Luke, he raised his front half of his body, lowered his head, and put his head to Luke's hand.

Luke reached out and stroked the serpent's three heads in turn. He knows that this is not an act of surrender by snakes, because snakes do not have this kind of gesture of closeness and submission, as long as he does not attack you, it is enough to be close to you. But this is the snake of the wizarding world, these seemingly human etiquette, I don't know who I learned it from.

George and Fred breathed a sigh of relief, and it looked like they didn't have to risk a beating for help tonight. Because this is a marginal area, there are a lot of magical beasts, but the danger level is not high. Death is certainly not possible. Although the Runi Snake can indeed kill them, it is not a particularly ferocious magical animal, and in general, it will not be attacked if you don't actively provoke them.

At the same time, Luke opened his mouth and let out a hoarse, low voice.

"What are you doing here?"

He asked in a parseltongue.

The twins behind him also shuddered involuntarily when they heard Luke's voice, and they could only say that the Parseltongue pronunciation was indeed enough for the underworld. Naturally with the feeling of a wicked person.

"We felt the aura of intimacy, Your Highness, so we gathered, but we didn't expect it to be His Highness the Gaunt family."

The head on the left also spoke.

Luke was no stranger to such words and the title 'Your Highness', and the entire forest around his hut was infested with snakes, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he saw snakes as if he were a relative.

"Is there anything wrong in the forest lately?"

Luke didn't waste time, coming to the Forbidden Forest to have fun was naturally one of his purposes, but it was not for nothing.

"Not yet, Your Highness, but ......," the serpent pondered, and after a moment spoke again, "but I have the impression that the unicorn race has begun to shrink. They are very sensitive to malice, so if you feel that something is wrong, then they are the most probable. ”

"And the timid horses! They had already retracted their defenses, sending only a small number of their clansmen out hunting. They have the ability to gaze at the stars, and your senses are right, Your Highness, there is something going on in the Forbidden Forest! ”

The head on the right added rather impatiently. With that, it glanced defiantly at its left head.

The left head snorted coldly, ignoring it.

"You seem to be prepared."

Luke looked at his left head with some strange looks.

The head on the left spoke respectfully, "Our people were freed in the Forbidden Forest by Lord Slytherin. It is important here that it is our duty to keep an eye on everything that is going on and report it to His Highness the Gaunt family. ”

"It's just that it's been many years, and we haven't seen His Highnesses."

The head in the middle pouted.

This is somewhat resentful. Luke was a little embarrassed to hear this, but when he thought about it, it didn't have much to do with him.

"Then continue your mission, help me keep an eye on the Forbidden Forest, and let me know as soon as possible if anything happens. Is there a means to notify me? ”

Luke asked again.

The head on the left nodded again: "Yes, we could have relied on the little snake to inform you, but these guys behind you seem to like you too." If it's for you, they'll be willing. ”

Luke looked behind the serpent, a group of magical creatures with relatively gentle temperaments, including the tree monkey frog, the fox fox, the ball bird (dodo), and the tree guard.

"So, what's your name?"

Luke thought that every snake in his neighborhood had its own name, and even a newborn baby would let himself help give it a name when it grew up a little. It seems to be a tradition of the Gaunt family.

Hearing Luke's question, all three heads became excited.

"We don't have names, Your Highness, we haven't seen them for many years, and we haven't been given names."

This time, the three heads opened their mouths together. The three pairs of eyes lit up with a similar look of expectation.

Hearing this, Luke looked at the three heads, and the corners of his mouth sketched a wicked smile.

He nodded his head on the left: "Gan." ”

Pointing to the head in the middle: "Wen." ”

Finally, he smiled and touched his right head: "Cui." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the name."

They don't know what these three words mean, but it's His Highness's name, and that's enough.

At this moment, a little light suddenly came on in the woods, and the sound of dogs barking came from a distance.

"Who's where! Fred! George! Isn't it you! And one more? Who is it?! ”

Hagrid's loud voice was heard from afar.

Choi opened his mouth viciously in Hagrid's direction, as if he was about to rush over and bite the impudent reckless man to death.

Luke held it down gently.

Turning his head to Gan, he said, "You guys go first, pay attention to your own safety, the danger in the Forbidden Forest is enough to kill you, be cautious when investigating." ”

Gan nodded, then bumped into Cui, who was still grinning, and then leaned down and crawled quickly into the depths of the dense forest.

Seeing that Gan Wencui had left Luke, the magical beasts who had been holding on for a while also rushed forward. They gathered around Luke's feet, looking at him curiously. Luke crouched down and frolicked with them.

George and Fred looked at the lights and barking as they approached, a little nervous.

"Aren't you leaving, Luke? Hagrid is coming over soon, and although he won't be deducted points, he will still be lectured. ”

George said with some concern.

Luke, on the other hand, touched the head of a moon beast and said, "There's no need, I'll come to the Forbidden Forest often in the future, and it's not bad to say hello to Hagrid in advance." ”

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Luke, George looked at his brother who was not only unmoved, but also looked like he wanted to play together, sighed, and didn't speak.

"Hah! I knew it was you two naughty people! I've seen your red hair all the way away...... What's going on with you guys?! ”

Hagrid, who had been thinking of asking the teacher for his guilt, was shocked by the scene in front of him.

Fantastic animals are having fun with the twins. Fred had a tree guard crouching on his head, and a sniffer was lying at George's feet, and he was fighting with sniff for the one in his hand.

"Luke? Why are you here, wait, is that an invisible beast? There are still invisible beasts in the Forbidden Forest?! ”

Hagrid looked at Luke, who was playing with an ape-like animal with silver fur that shone like silk, and his face was shocked.

At this moment, the invisible beast was frightened by Hagrid's loud voice and disappeared into thin air.

Luke pulled the invisible one out from behind him, and said to Hagrid with a smile, "See you again!" ”
