From Karma Taj to Hogwarts

Chapter 159 Riddle and Nagini

After crossing the dimensional gate, Sivan and Riddle came to a small hill in Albania.

Now that the sky has darkened, black shadows are crawling across the grass on the ground from time to time. Their bodies rub against the grass, making a horrifying "rustling" sound.

Sivan felt shuddering, and when he was about to cast a spell to protect himself from being bitten by a poisonous snake, Riddle took the lead.

Not only did his face show no fear of these poisonous snakes, but he showed a friendly expression.

Then, a strange "hissing" sound came from his mouth, like the hissing of a snake or the whisper of a devil...

Following the weird sound Riddle made, the surrounding black shadows gradually surrounded him and gathered around him. Some small snakes even crawled onto his body and rubbed their snake faces against his skin affectionately.

Xiwen lit up his wand and saw the scene in front of him——

There are many vipers with oval markings hanging on Riddle's body. They are either wrapped around Riddle's arms, legs and waist, or lying on his back and sticking their heads forward. These snakes seemed to have turned into moving ribbons and wrapped around Riddle's body, giving them an indescribable and eerie beauty.

"So Parseltongue can not only be used to talk to snakes, but also to control them?" Sivan asked curiously, looking at Riddle who was wearing a snake ribbon.

"I'm not sure if I can control it." Riddle shook his head and said to Sivan. "But they do help me generously."

"If that's the case, it seems to be very powerful!" Xiwen smiled and praised. "Let's go and meet Dumbledore and the others first."

The two walked toward a fire next to the hill.

Sivan's dimensional door was not opened very far, and within a few steps you could see Dumbledore and Newt sitting on the ground around a bonfire, protected by a hemispherical transparent shield.

Outside the protective cover were a group of vipers who felt the warmth of the campfire. These vipers huddled together, trying to get closer to the warm campfire, but were blocked by the protective shield.

After Riddle came outside the protective shield, he "hissed" to the vipers again in Parseltongue, and soon they dispersed through a wide passage.

At this time, Dumbledore also saw Xi Wen.

He smiled and waved his wand, and the transparent protective shield immediately opened a doorway for the two of them to enter.

Just when Sivan and Riddle were about to walk into the protective shield, Aberforth raised his hand to stop them.

"As for that black-haired boy, are you going to bring snakes in?" He looked at the various small snakes on Riddle's body with dissatisfaction and asked loudly.

Only then did Riddle remember that he still had many snake streamers hanging on his body.

He smiled apologetically, then opened his mouth to drive away the vipers on his body, and then he and Xiwen came to the side of the bonfire.

"Want some barbecue?" Dumbledore raised a wooden skewer with slices of meat on it and asked Sivan and Riddle with a smile.

Sivan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth as he looked at Newt who was working hard to cook meat by the campfire and Theseus who was helping unhelpfully next to him.

"Why do you start eating barbecue?" Xiwen asked.

"After all, we haven't had a good meal all day, so I thought it would be a good idea to go out into the wild once and try what it feels like to have a barbecue by yourself." Dumbledore said with great interest. "Newt's suitcase just happens to have a lot of barbecue tools and seasonings. Let's catch some small animals and everything will be complete!"

While speaking, he took another wooden skewer off the campfire, naturally used a magic spell to lower the temperature of the barbecue, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It looks pretty good." Xiven was not polite and picked up two skewers of barbecue from the campfire, handed one to Riddle, and tried to take a bite of the other.

Then the two of them expressed their admiration and gave Newt a thumbs up.

It has to be said that as a magizoologist who has been in the wild for many years, Newt's barbecue skills are quite good. Ordinary pheasant chicken can be grilled to taste like delicacies from mountains and seas.

After Xiwen and Riddle joined the barbecue party, the speed of ingredient consumption immediately increased to a higher level. Newt soon discovered that the meat was eaten, so he said to Dumbledore:

"Albus, we've run out of ingredients."

Dumbledore nodded and casually stretched out his hand towards the forest, and a brightly colored pheasant flew over from the forest.

The transparent protective shield also opened a hole in time, allowing the pheasant to fly in through the opening and land in Dumbledore's hands.

Under Dumbledore's wonderful control, the pheasant passed away peacefully.

Dumbledore didn't know what spell he used, or just relied on his control of magic power to make the pheasant float in the air, and its feathers fell off automatically.

Then, a few grasses on the ground rose up and turned into wooden sticks under the influence of the transformation spell. They were automatically inserted into various parts of the pheasant and handed over to Newt's hands.

Xiwen's expression was quite calm because he had seen Dumbledore's tricks with his soul body's eyes. Although in my heart I still admire Dumbledore's control.

Riddle became even more dazzled when he saw this operation, which made him realize for the first time that magic could be used in this way!

……

After eating and drinking, everyone stood up one after another and used the disappearing spell to clear away the garbage from the picnic.

Then, the day's work finally got down to business.

"Tom, did Sivan tell you what we are asking you to do for help?" Dumbledore looked at Riddle and asked.

"Well, I already know." Riddle nodded. "You're looking for a witch who might have turned into a snake, right?"

Dumbledore nodded slightly, then glanced at Aurelius.

"Nagini's snake form is a green viper with oval markings, about twelve feet long." Aurelius understood and described it to Riddle. "It's up to you this time, Mr. Riddle."

Newt also added: "General vipers are no more than four feet, so you only need to ask from the mouths of those small snakes if you have seen such a big snake, and then it will be easy to find Nagini." .”

Riddle nodded, turned around and walked out of the transparent protective shield, standing in the center of the snake group.

Then, there were bursts of weird "hissing" sounds from the snake group...

Both Karma and Aberforth looked at Riddle's position uneasily, obviously still doubtful about Parseltongue. However, under Dumbledore's stern eyes, they suppressed their worries and waited patiently.

After a moment, Riddle returned to Dumbledore and others.

"How is it?" Aurelius asked hopefully.

"The mission has been fulfilled." Riddle smiled proudly and said to Aurelius. "There is indeed a big snake living in the Albanian forest, and the vipers here have recognized her as the king of snakes!"
