Chapter 28 It seems I've come at the wrong time?
Chapter 28 It seems I've come at the wrong time?
The roar of the Hogwarts Express steam engine continued unabated.
Orochimaru crossed his arms and leisurely watched the scenery outside the car window, seeing the trees and clouds leaping past one after another.
This was his first time riding a train, and everything was so new and exciting.
Moreover, it must be said that this compartment in the last carriage is very quiet; so far, only one Hogwarts freshman has found it.
But when the chubby, round boy saw the little white snake coiled around his neck, he screamed and ran away.
He ran so fast that he forgot about his pet.
Orochimaru thought to himself, then crouched down and stared at the little toad lying at his feet, too afraid to move as Yennefer, the little white snake, watched him.
"What's your name, Bunta?"
Orochimaru asked in a sinister tone, trying his best to soften his expression. But the next second, the toad's eyes widened and it fainted.
Toads are always afraid of snakes, let alone seeing two extremely dangerous snakes at once.
Just then, footsteps came from the doorway.
Orochimaru hadn't even had a chance to look at the person who appeared at the door before he heard the person's arrogant and contemptuous words.
"No friends, no parents, how could such a pitiful Mudblood wizard exist in this world?"
The voice sounded familiar.
It seems to be that same idiot coward with short platinum blonde hair from before.
Orochimaru looked in the direction the sound came from and sure enough, he saw Draco Malfoy and his two henchmen.
For some reason, when Orochimaru saw these two strong but stupid henchmen, he suddenly thought of Dali and his two henchmen.
Aside from magic, the three of them are quite similar.
As Orochimaru pondered this, he slowly raised his head and watched Draco Malfoy and his henchmen with amusement.
However, Orochimaru's leisurely expression directly angered Draco Malfoy.
Draco Malfoy felt like a clown who had been put on stage to perform, without even having prepared his lines or actions, and was about to be subjected to the cold scrutiny of the audience.
He is very uncomfortable!
"Crawb, Goyle, teach him a lesson!" Draco Malfoy sneered. "Let him know that Mudbloods at Hogwarts can't look pure-blood nobles in the eye!"
As soon as Draco Malfoy finished speaking, the two burly men behind him immediately sprang into action.
They charged at Orochimaru, fists waving, like two male gorillas. They weren't fast, but their momentum was truly frightening.
This is true at least at the elementary school level.
Orochimaru watched as Crabbe and Goyle lunged at him, but he simply tilted his head slightly to dodge their attacks.
Just as the two gorillas lost their balance, Orochimaru casually raised his hand.
Hurry!
The Hyuga family's Gentle Fist technique is very useful at this time.
Although Orochimaru didn't have the Byakugan, he was still able to hit two elementary school students whose movement speed was not much faster than a wooden stake.
He joined his fingers together to form a palm, and then lightly tapped the acupoints on Crabbe and Gore.
In the blink of an eye, Goyle and Crabbe groaned and collapsed limply to the ground under Draco Malfoy's horrified gaze.
Fine beads of sweat kept appearing on their foreheads, yet they were unable to move, as if they had been petrified.
Draco Malfoy panicked and yanked his wand from behind his head, gripping it tightly and pointing it at Orochimaru.
"Don't come any closer! My dad won't let you get away with this!"
what……
He's not even as good as Dali.
Orochimaru thought with some emotion, and under Draco Malfoy's horrified gaze, slowly stood up and walked towards him.
One step, another step.
Orochimaru walked slowly, but each step was precisely timed to coincide with the exact moment Draco Malfoy's heartbeat.
This isn't a difficult technique; any member of the Konoha Anbu could use it.
But for Draco Malfoy at this moment, it was a bit beyond his capabilities. His face turned deathly pale instantly, and then he began to feel his breathing become labored.
In the end, he was practically out of breath.
It was at this moment that Orochimaru finally stood in front of Draco Malfoy. He extended his index and middle fingers and gently pinched the tip of Malfoy's wand.
"Show me a spell," Orochimaru said gently. "I've read in books that wizards have three unforgivable curses."
Malfoy wanted to ask Orochimaru what he really wanted to do...
But when the words came out, they turned into a series of clanging teeth, a constant clicking sound.
"The Cruciatus Curse, the Imperius Curse, even the Killing Curse are all acceptable," Orochimaru said expectantly. "Show me the true power of a pure-blooded wizard."
Dad, I'm going to die!
Draco Malfoy's eyes rolled back, and he was about to faint.
But before his body could go limp, Orochimaru brought him back to his senses.
The little white snake Yennefer, coiled around his neck, glared deftly at Malfoy, its scarlet eyes instantly piercing his soul and bringing him to his senses.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
Malfoy begged for mercy in a rapid-fire voice, his body trembling uncontrollably. Meanwhile, the two henchmen who had previously collapsed to the ground wisely closed their eyes and pretended to be unconscious.
Orochimaru was very disappointed.
He gently stroked the little white snake Yennefer that had slithered onto his wrist, and asked again expectantly:
"Since you don't know these three spells, does your father know them?"
"No, my father won't!" Draco Malfoy almost cried. "Please, spare me! I'll leave right away!"
As he spoke, he quietly tried to move backward.
Just as he moved an inch, a familiar scent of Orochimaru slowly wafted over.
This is……
The scent is a blend of gooseberry and clove.
Orochimaru raised his head irritably and looked in the direction from which the fragrance was coming.
At a glance, he saw a head of long, smooth chestnut hair that flowed like a waterfall, and the owner of the hair had violet eyes.
She stood quietly at the door of the private room, glanced at Draco Malfoy, who was slumped on the ground, constantly shuffling backward with his buttocks, and then at Orochimaru, whose face was full of impatience. A hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.
"I've come at the wrong time, haven't I?"
Yena Yaxley asked with a smile.
As soon as she finished speaking, Malfoy used his buttocks as the center point, turned around abruptly, and lunged towards Yena Yaxley's feet, shouting, "Sister, save me!"
Unfortunately, his plan failed.
Yena Yaxley subtly avoided the glance, instead fixing her gaze on the small white snake on Orochimaru's wrist.
"She's a beautiful pet. What's her name?" Yena Yaxley asked softly.
"Yennefer," Orochimaru said slowly.
The moment he finished speaking, Yena Yaxley's face darkened. She gave Orochimaru a disapproving look before drawing her wand and gently tapping it towards Malfoy.
"No one would kill someone on the Hogwarts Express," Draco Malfoy, his face flushed as he was lifted up by the Levitation Charm, said, but Yena Yaxley's next words were even more hurtful, "Don't bring shame to the Malfoy family, Draco."
Malfoy didn't refute him, but just awkwardly stroked his robe and dusted off non-existent dust, as if nothing had just happened.
"Crawb, Goyle, let's change to a different box," Malfoy instructed, trying to mimic his father's tone.
Two henchmen immediately ran to his side, pretending that nothing had happened, and prepared to leave.
But Orochimaru had no intention of letting them go.
He kicked the toad, which was already stiff and unable to move.
"This toad is a little wizard's pet. He's lost, and his owner must be very worried."
As Orochimaru spoke, he slowly bent down and took the toad in his hand.
This must have felt terrible for the little toad, because he felt like he was about to be swallowed by the snake.
But the next second, Orochimaru found it a new home.
That was Draco Malfoy's head, where there was short, platinum-blonde hair as smooth as silk, and where a slight heat rose from the humiliation.
Clearly, that place is conducive to recovery.
"Keep it on until you find its master," Orochimaru gently instructed Draco Malfoy. "Promise me you'll do it, okay?"
