In the deep lake water, a small snake emerged from the sewer opening, and then swayed quickly towards the surface of the water.
It was the first time he walked this road, and it was also the first time he met His Highness. All this made it very exciting. He even forgot about the possible dangers that might arise along the way, as warned by Lord Ganwen Cui before he came.
Especially in this black lake. It is said to be haunted by the terrifying mermaids and grindylows.
Of course, the most terrifying thing is the legendary giant squid with only one tentacle that is much thicker than the body of Mr. Ganwen Cui.
Just as he was thinking about it, the little snake suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a huge black shadow under his body.
It looked down and saw a waving tentacle.
It froze for a second, and then twisted around like crazy. Swim quickly towards the water.
This thing is poisonous! Come as you say!
The little snake was already cursing in his heart.
But its body is too small, and it is still a child. No matter how hard it tries, it will never be able to match the opponent's speed.
Soon, it felt a slippery touch on its belly.
Its heart instantly fell into despair.
It has only met His Highness once! Is this going to kill you? It is still a child!
However, Lord Ganventui, His Highness Gunter, I have completed the tasks you gave me...
Thinking this, he closed his eyes and prepared to face 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 water.
Within a moment, the little snake felt that he had surfaced. It looked at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky with surprise, and suddenly felt the pleasure of escaping from death!
It looked at the thick tentacle under it in amazement. It happily twisted on it twice to express its gratitude, and then swam quickly towards the shore.
The giant squid may not have any ill intentions toward him, because he may not even be able to serve as his opponent's toothpick. But Mermaid and Grindylow are different. In their eyes, maybe I am a good snack?
It couldn't make up its mind, so it could only run away quickly.
After sending the little snake away, the giant squid put the tentacle in front of his eyes.
His huge eyes shone with doubt and excitement.

Ilvermorny Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Massachusetts, USA
Young Gilbert Fontana was sitting in the principal's chair.
He is still very young this year, and he became the dean of this American magic academy not long ago. It stands to reason that this is something to be happy about.
But now he is very distressed.
The door to the principal's office was pushed open, and a gray-haired wizard walked in.
As soon as he came in, Gilbert stood up immediately and asked excitedly: "Have you found out the reason?"
When the other party faced Ai Gilbert's expectant eyes, he finally dodged away, then shook his head and said: "We tried our best. But the snake tree is still withering."
"As for the reason... to be honest, Snakewood itself is mysterious enough. We don't know what is going on."
So Agilbert sat back on his chair feebly.
The snake wood grown from Slytherin's wand can be regarded as one of the most inherited things in the entire school.
If Snakewood completely withers and disappears, then the voices mocking them as a 'nouveau riche' school with no foundation will definitely make noise in the entire magic world again.
Unfortunately, by the time he became the principal, the withering state of the snake tree could no longer be concealed.
"Don't you have any ideas?"
Gilbert said with a long sigh.
"Perhaps you should find someone from the Gaunt family to take a look."
The white-haired old man looked at him and suggested.
"Please! We have searched for the descendants of the founder of the college, but to no avail." Gilbert said impatiently. He had heard this advice many times. But even if you really invite the other party, it will have no effect at all.
"Then maybe we should find a pure-blood descendant of Gaunt?"
The white-haired old man was not angry, but continued.
"Gaunt? They've all lost their heirs!" Gilbert said angrily. But he quickly reacted and stared at the white-haired old man closely: "Do you have any news?"
The white-haired old man looked at his expectant expression and did not follow him in circles: "A group of Gunters hidden in the dark appeared in England. And they joined the world. Although there is only an 11-year-old child left."
"It is said that he is currently studying at Hogwarts. If you need it, maybe you can say hello to Professor Dumbledore first."

Malfoy Manor, Wiltshire, England
Lucius Malfoy, who has long platinum hair, is reading a book in his chair. He seemed to be so absorbed in watching it that he didn't even notice his wife walking in front of him.
"Lucius." Narcissa Malfoy called to her husband softly.
Lucius locked up the book in his hand, raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Someone sent a letter again, saying that we should quickly write to Draco to educate him. He seems to be promoting the concept of 'great sacrifice and noble responsibility'. He has also attracted many children."
Lucius pondered for a moment, and then said: "Ignore them, my child, I don't need them to remind me of education."
"Similarly, if they want to educate their own children, do it yourself."
Narcissa was not reassured, but continued: "But will this make Draco an unpopular child?"
"It doesn't matter, Narcissa." Lucius picked up the book again and read it with interest, "The Malfoy family does not need to be welcomed by everyone. As long as the victors welcome us, we will be welcomed by everyone."
"But……"
"Nothing but, that kid from the Gaunt family is very smart. He is using Draco to test my attitude." Lucius smiled lightly, "I hope I didn't disappoint him."
"As for what you're worried about...Draco is just a child after all. If he does something wrong, he should apologize to others and make amends. He may be very positive, but he is not the leader."
Lucius said calmly: "This is a good thing, regardless of success or failure."
So Narcissa stopped talking. Even though her face was still worried, she believed in her husband's judgment.
So she quietly got into her bed.
Before lying down, she took a look at what book attracted her husband so much.
The book is called "Pureblood Secrets: Pride, Wisdom, and the Great Gaunt"
What a name full of bragging.
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, looking at the already familiar forest.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion. He found that the Forbidden Forest seemed to be particularly dark and deep today.
