Viper stopped at Aisha’s feet, Her blood red tongue sticking out and her scales green as the leaves of a tree. Aisha noticed the collar that she was carrying behind her. it said “PLEASE LOOK AFTER” and at the bottom it said “VIPER” she asked Draco what it meant. He said it was with him when they found her so she kept it with her ever since.
Leaving Aisha astonished, Viper crawled up her body and sat on her hands. Her slithery tongue in her mouth and her collar in Dracos hands. She was like the vine of a tree wrapping round them.
“She likes you” Said Draco, as the snake slithered down her body and disappeared up the tree. On their way back to the land, they went through Diagon alley, a small light and a shadow was seen on the floor. Aisha was startled—were they being spied on? She saw 2 green eyes for a second she thought she was dreaming.
“It’s just Viper, she’s always followed me since we got her”said Draco “Me and father found her at the back of the forest hidden under a tree someone must have left her in the great war. We took her in but mother was startled so we brang her back out. But no one must know—if people saw her they’d take her to an abattoir.”
She looked out of her window, staring out of the land trying to see if Viper would turn up. She remembered when Viper twisted round her body and landed in her arms.
Day after day, she would bring her food such as chameleons and other small mammals. Viper would hunt for herself but most of the time she was doing tricks and playing around with Aisha. She would tell Draco to hunt the food as she couldn’t catch anything.
One night,she went out on her own and Viper came out from the tree and jumped into her hand. Soon Viper and Aisha were like sisters. Aisha had settled in and would finally talk more.
Throughout summer Viper was finally allowed in the house. They would practice trick and Draco even let Viper stay inside Aisha’s room in a tank.
