In the deep water, the little snake came out of the mouth of the sewer, and then quickly shook its body and swam towards the water.

It was the first time it had walked this path, and it was also the first time it had met His Highness. It was all very excited. He even forgot about the dangers that might arise along the way before he came, as told by Lord Gan Wencui.

Especially in this black lake. It is said that there are terrible mermaids and Grindillo here.

Of course, the most terrifying thing is the legendary giant squid that is just a tentacle that doesn't know how much thicker than the body of Lord Gan Wencui.

Just as he was thinking about it, the little snake suddenly found that there seemed to be a huge black shadow under him.

It looked down and saw a waving tentacle.

It froze for a second, then writhed like crazy. Swim quickly towards the water.

This thing is poisonous! Anyway, it's coming!

The little snake has already begun to scold her mother in her heart at this time.

But its body is too small, and it is still a child, no matter how hard it tries, it will not be able to match the speed of the other party.

Soon, it felt its abdomen, and a slippery touch came.

Its heart instantly fell into despair.

It's only seen His Highness! Is this going to kill the fish? It's still a child!

However, Lord Gan Wencui, Your Highness Gaunt, I have completed the task you have given me......

With this in mind, he closed his eyes and prepared for the end of his life.

But the tentacle didn't roll it up and send it to the giant squid's mouth.

Instead, he gently lifted it up and sent it to the surface.

Within a few moments, the little snake felt like it had surfaced. It looked at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky in surprise in the sky, and suddenly felt a thrill of escaping death!

It looked at the thick tentacle beneath it in amazement, twisted it twice happily, expressed its gratitude, and then swam quickly towards the shore.

The giant squid may not have any ill will towards itself, because it may not even be able to be the other party's toothpick. But merfolk and Grindillo are different. In their eyes, maybe a good snack?

It couldn't make up its mind, so it had to run away.

And the giant squid, after sending the little snake away, put the tentacle in front of his eyes.

The huge eyes shone with confusion and excitement.

Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Massachusetts, USA

Young Gilbert Fontana was sitting in the rector's chair.

He is still very young this year, and not long ago became the president of the American Academy of Magic. It stands to reason that this is something to be happy about.

But now he is very distressed.

The door to the headmaster's room was pushed open, and a gray-haired wizard walked in.

As soon as he entered, Gilbert immediately stood up and asked excitedly, "Have you found out what the reason is?" ”

And when the other party faced Eggerbert's expectant eyes, he still dodged after all, and then shook his head and said, "We did our best." But the snake wood is still withering. ”

"As for the reason...... Seriously, the snake wood itself is mysterious enough. We don't know what's going on. ”

So Gilbert sat back in his chair with some weakness.

The snake wood that grew from Slytherin's wand is one of the most inherited things in the entire school.

If the snake wood completely withers and disappears, then the voice of the 'nouveau riche' school that mocks them has no background will surely be noisy in the entire wizarding world.

Unfortunately, when he became the principal, the withered state of the snake wood was almost impossible to hide.

"Don't you have any ideas?"

Gilbert said with a long sigh.

"Maybe you should get someone from the Gaunt family to take a look."

The white-haired old man looked at him and suggested.

"Please! We have looked for the descendants of the founder of the academy, but it is useless. Gilbert said impatiently. He had heard such advice many times. But even if you really invite the other party, it doesn't have any effect.

"Then maybe we should find a pure-blood descendant of Gaunt?"

The white-haired old man was not angry, but continued.

"Gaunt? Everyone is dead! Gilbert said angrily. However, he quickly reacted and stared at the white-haired old man tightly: "Do you have any news?" ”

The white-haired old man looked at his expectant expression, and didn't go around in circles with him: "There is a hidden Gaunt in England. And joined the WTO. Although there is only one 11-year-old left. ”

"It is said that he now attends Hogwarts. If you need it, you might want to say hello to Professor Dumbledore first. ”

Malfoy Manor, Wiltshire, England

Lucius Malfoy, with his long platinum-blond hair, was reading a book in his chair. He seemed to be so engrossed that he didn't even notice that his wife walked in front of him.

"Lucius." Narcissa Malfoy whispered to her husband.

Lucius clasped the book in his hand, looked up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Someone else sent us a letter saying let's write to Draco and educate him. He seems to be promoting something like 'great giving, noble responsibility'. It also attracted a lot of children. ”

Lucius pondered for a moment, then said, "Ignore them, my children, and don't need them to remind me of education. ”

"In the same way, if they want to educate their own children, they do it themselves."

Narcissa wasn't reassured, but continued, "But wouldn't that make Draco an undesirable child?" ”

"It doesn't matter, Narcissa." Lucius picked up the book again and read it with relish, "The Malfoys don't need to be welcomed by everyone. As long as the victors welcome us, we will be welcomed by all. ”

"But ......"

"Nothing, that kid from House Gaunt is smart, he's testing my attitude with Draco." Lucius smiled lightly, "I hope I didn't disappoint him." ”

"As for what you're worried about...... Draco was just a kid after all, and if he did something wrong, he would apologize and apologize. He may be positive, but he's not the one in the lead. ”

Lucius said indifferently: "This is a good thing, whether it is success or failure." ”

So Narcissa stopped talking, even though her face was still worried, but she trusted her husband's judgment.

So she quietly got into her bed.

And before lying down, she took a special look at what books were so appealing to her husband.

The name of that book was Pureblood Secrets: Proud, Wise, and Great Gaunt

It's a name full of boasting.

She had some disdainful thoughts. Then he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Hogwarts

The tall Luke stood at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, surveying the forest that was already quite familiar.

I don't know if it's an illusion. He found that today's Forbidden Forest seemed to be extraordinarily dark and profound.
