In the winter, Hermione noticed two things about her green eyed snake.
When it was cold, and he was out in the air for more than ten minutes, his nose would turn bright, blaring pink, and stay that way for hours afterwards, even after the rest of his body returned to a normal colour. He hated it, and of course she thought it was hilarious.
"You look like Rudolph," she giggled.
"I'll pertrify you if you ever call me a reindeer again."
At night, that's all she would feel pressed up against her body- his nose on her neck like ice, and his toes like popsicles on her leg.
