Along the way, the students were noisy, as if they had endless things to say. Lamia walked in the middle of the team, with the big man Hagrid holding a lantern beside him.

"Kids, you must follow me closely. We're not going inside, just outside. Don't run around." Hagrid's voice was originally loud, but it was quickly swallowed up by the noise of the crowd. He looked down at Lamia, whose big face was full of distress. He muttered, "Forget it, we'll be there soon anyway."

Lamia was just about to say something when she saw two red figures flash past behind her. She also felt a pair of hands behind her, pulling her back quickly and decisively.

Lamia turned her head and saw that it was indeed the Weasley twins. They saw Lamia's slightly resentful look and pointed at their necks. George even wiped his eyes. Lamia sighed, slowed down her pace, and landed between the two of them.

"Little snake, you didn't come with us. You don't even know that we skipped Snape's class to come here today." Fred had a hurt expression on his face and whispered in Lamia's ear. While he was speaking, his fingers moved quietly, trying to grab Lamia's hand when she wasn't paying attention.

"And me, I turned down the most beautiful Gryffindor girl - she wanted to go to Hogsmeade with me this afternoon." George wanted to prove himself after hearing what Fred said, so he raised his voice exaggeratedly, attracting the attention of many people in front and behind.

"Wow, George, I didn't know you had a date. Is it the girl you passed notes to in class?" Fred opened his mouth in surprise. He reached out and patted George on the shoulder, then whispered to Lamia, "Lamia, you didn't know that George liked that girl very much. He even passed notes to her in class.

Or in Potions class, in front of Snape, how important is that girl, George?" Fred glanced at George proudly, with the corners of his mouth raised, as if he had seen George's miserable appearance when he fell out of favor.

"What nonsense, Fred? You were the one who passed the note to her for me. I don't believe you didn't read it. I just told her that I have a girlfriend. Besides, we knew her earlier than Lamia, and you even gave her gloves. It's just that she fell in love with me." George poured out everything in one breath, glancing at Lamia several times, fearing that she would misunderstand.

Fred smirked and shook his head, "George, I don't know what you're talking about."

George suddenly became anxious and wanted to pull the girl over to confront Fred.

But Lamia just looked at the road ahead, not seeming to be affected by them at all. Finally, Fred bumped into her, and Lamia came back to her senses. She glanced at the aggrieved George and the unhappy Fred, and thought for a long time about what they had just said.

"Then why don't you guys go about your own business?" Lamia finally spoke. She was sandwiched between the two men, with one hand on each side. If she was a little higher, they would be able to lift her up.

"Of course you are important, you are our girlfriend." Fred laughed the next second after hearing Lamia's voice. Although Lamia kept dodging, Fred seized the opportunity and completely wrapped her palm in his own.

"Yeah, yeah, you didn't tell us until Ron told us that you were coming to help Hagrid. I almost became a scumbag." George was not to be outdone and grabbed Lamia's other hand.

Lamia glared angrily at Ron, who was chatting and laughing with Hermione, as if her gaze could set the back of his head on fire.

After a while, they arrived at Hagrid's pumpkin patch. The ground was covered with fresh soil. It seemed that Hagrid had been preparing to plant pumpkins for a long time.

"Kids, I don't have many pumpkin seeds here. If any of you want to try it, come over quickly." After Hagrid said this, several interested students ran over and surrounded him to ask questions about farming, such as which pumpkin seeds are edible and how much water is needed.

Hagrid scratched his head, not knowing how to answer, "How about I show you how? Look here, kids." Hagrid squatted on the ground with a shovel and pumpkin seeds. His movements were very skillful. After covering the soil, he sprinkled a little water with the watering can at hand.

"Okay, that's it. Let's get started, otherwise it will be dark soon." Hagrid stood up and distributed pumpkin seeds and small shovels to the students.

Lamia and the twins were standing at the back of the team. Before Hagrid came over, Fred and George, as if they had made up their minds, carried Lamia and walked deep into the Forbidden Forest. Harry, who was in front, saw this with his sharp eyes, said hello to Ron and followed them.

The Forbidden Forest was always quieter than other forests, especially in the afternoon. The further they walked, the fewer sounds there were around them. Gradually, the only sound left was the rustling of a few people's shoes rubbing against fallen leaves.

Lamia saw Harry catching up, but she could sense that there was more than just Harry behind her. There was also Hermione and Ron who were a beat behind, as well as Theodore and Draco who were hiding.

It was really lively. After Lamia entered, she was held in Fred's arms. They seemed to want to show her something. They kept comparing maps in their hands and arguing with each other from time to time.

But they seemed to have no idea that there were several followers following them.

Soon Lamia was brought to an open space. As Fred whistled, a rustling sound came from the surrounding bushes. Several catkins, blinking their big black eyes, emerged from the grass. The twins had sprinkled fluorescent powder on their bodies, making them particularly conspicuous in the dim light.

"Ting, ting, ting. Do you like it? Lamia, George and I have been preparing for this for a whole week." Fred lifted Lamia into the air, wanting her to see it clearly.

"I almost missed it, luckily I was smart." George stood aside with his arms folded, looking at Pu Rongrong in front of him, and smiled with satisfaction.

Although Lamia didn't like these furry animals, she still smiled and pretended to like and be surprised, "Thank you, Fred and George, I like it very much."

Lamia's actions greatly satisfied the Weasley twins. George even walked over, took out a bottle of red potion from his arms, and dripped a few drops on Puff. A sweet smell quickly spread outward from them.

Lamia's head ached from the smell. She covered her nose and asked, "What's that smell?"

"I stole it from Snape. It smells good to me. Maybe I dropped too much." George also covered his nose. The smell on his body was particularly strong, and he couldn't stand it.

Lamia and the others were still busy fanning the air. At this time, the originally silent forbidden forest was once again filled with rustling sounds, accompanied by the strange sound of objects rubbing against the ground.

Lamia keenly sensed that something was wrong, "We have to leave immediately!" She pulled the twins, reminding the two fools who were out of the situation.

Fred was busy coughing, and George wasn't much better. Lamia frowned when she saw the two of them like this, and she stopped moving because she realized that they were completely surrounded by snakes. The snakes had cold vertical pupils on all sides, and some of them were already spitting out their tongues, as if they would pounce on them at the next second.

Ron, who came up behind him, shouted, "There are so many snakes, run!"

Lamia looked back and found Harry not far behind her. Hermione also saw her and was raising her wand to cast a spell. Fred and George were pale, but they did not forget to cast a protective shield for Lamia first.

"Lamia, run first, we will cover you." The tip of Fred's wand flashed with light one after another. The snakes that pounced on him lay on the ground in a large area, but there were still many of them staring at the few people with eager eyes.

There was not a single one in front of Lamia. She did not conceal her presence, so it was normal that they did not dare to come over.

But Harry didn't think so, and he and Hermione hurried over to Lamia anxiously.

Suddenly, a pure black snake without any pattern suddenly jumped out from the grass next to Lamia and pounced towards her. Lamia did not expect that a snake would actually dare to come over. Just as she was about to cast a spell, she saw Harry stopped. As the sound from his mouth came over, the black snake slowly returned to the grass.

A strange, low, hissing sound began to come out of Harry's mouth, like the sound of wind blowing through a crack in a door. The black snake even turned around and began to respond to him.

Lamia just watched Harry move forward step by step. As his voice spread, all the snakes lay on the ground, moved into the grass and disappeared, as if Harry was controlling them.

Lamia silently moved her fingers slightly, and the black snake in the distance was burned to ashes before it returned to the main force, without even making a sound.

"It's okay, it's okay. Fortunately, they just thought there were berries to eat here." Harry turned around and said to Lamia, as if to comfort himself.

"Harry, you can speak Parseltongue." Ron shouted, his face very heavy, as if Harry had done something bad.

There was a commotion behind her. Lamia turned around and saw Hagrid and his students rushing over. Everyone had dirt on their hands and they were looking at Harry in shock.

Ron quickly covered his mouth and glanced uneasily at Harry, who acted as if everyone was overreacting.

"That's nothing. I bet at least two-thirds of the students in Hogwarts know how to do it."

Harry disagreed.

"No, Harry, none of us can do that. In fact, this is not an uncommon skill. Talking to snakes is Salazar Slytherin's famous skill. That's why the Slytherin emblem is a snake." Hermione was very worried and explained to Harry why Ron was so shocked.

"Cough cough cough." Hagrid coughed a few times, attracting the attention of several people.
