Either way, his opinion on snakes his much more positive these days than they were in his youth. Seeing the little beasts move freely around the house is...nice. His favourite is a sweet green and black Boomslang he calls Hedwig; she’s no replacement for the Hedwig from his old life, but there’s something in the snake’s golden eyes that reminds him of the owl, so he figured, why not? She likes the quiet in his room and spends most of her time there, tucked away out of sight, silently keeping Harry company. Corvin, on the other hand, has made friends with a crotchety old green anaconda, whom he calls Doctor Stevens; the old snake is just over twenty years old, having spent most of that being shuffled from pet store to pet store, and Corvin fell in love with him right away. Suppose it’s fun to have another old fart around to keep company with. They all make for quite the trio, don’t they? The anaconda spends most of the time wrapped all around Corvin’s body as if to constrict him, but rather just uses the position to hitch a ride around the house and gossip with Corvin with his head on the vampire’s shoulder.
