The Heir of Dark and Light
Chapter 1 - The Parselmouth
"Serpensortia!" A snake came out of Draco Malfoy's wand and Harry looked petrified at the little ashwinder, as it began to crawl over to where Harry was standing. He looked down on it, and then he did something that scared the whole hall to silence and made them look at him. Harry spoke to the snake, but no one could understand what he said. He made hissing noises, and they realized that he was speaking in Parseltounge, but that was nonheard of. What Harry said, was "Dear snake, I would not hurt you, but please don't attack anyone." The snake had replied that it was willing to not attack if he was given a place to live. But then, of course, someone decided to banish the snake.
"vipera evanesco"
The snake disappeared, and professor Snape looked at Harry with a strange look, almost as if he was afraid or if he recognized something. Harry was a bit disappointed with his head of House. Why be in the Serpent House if you could not keep a snake as a familiar or pet? "Mr. Potter, a word in private. Now!" Prof. Snape said, and Harry no choice but to obey. He looked over his shoulder and saw the astonished face of his best friend, Draco Malfoy, who he had been dueling.
"Pray tell, Mr. Potter, why have you not told anyone that you're a Parselmouth? Should not at least I know it, being your head of House?"
"But Sir, I did not tell anyone because I believed they would look at me as if I was abnormal. And I don't speak to snakes very often, and the last time i spoke with one was when i was at the zoo with my aunt, uncle and cousin. I accidently let it loose on my cousin because the glass disappeared." Harry answered. "But surely, Mr. Potter, you do know that one of the most known Parselmouth through time was none other than our very own house founder, Salazar Slytherin, and that now people will begin to wonder if you are the Heir of Slytherin? And that you opened the Chamber of Secrets?"
"But I'm not! I can't be. I mean, both my parents were in Gryffindor, and my mother was a muggleborn! There is even no way to even prove that I'm not his heir." Harry said in clear despair.
"Actually, Mr. Potter, there is. But then an adult must be with you. If you go to Gringotts Wizarding bank, and take a test that require a bit of your blood, it is possible for you to see who you are Heir to. It will also show your parents family tree, and all of your ancestors." Severus Snape said with a smirk on his face. It was clearly not something he expected the famous boy who lived, Harry Potter, to do.
But Harry realized that if he did not do that, then he would never find out where he had gotten the power of speaking to and controlling snakes. According to Dumbledore, Harry had gotten some of Lord Voldemorts power the he destroyed the Dark Lord. But Harry did not believe this, and he showed Prof. Snape wrong by saying "Will you come with me then, Sir? Since I cannot travel alone."
"I will, but I hope it is possible for us to travel to London in this weekend, if you would be happy with it. But there was something else I have begun to wonder about. I'm wondering about what you know of the Chamber of Secrets and its content. I hope you trust me enough to tell me what you know."
"I know the chamber was opened fifty years ago, and that a student died. I have, officially, no idea of what its content is. Unofficially, it's rumored to be a snake of some kind." Snape said Harry smirked, "I know where the Entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is, and I know what horror that lives inside it." "But how is it possible? You're only a second year, 12 years old. You can't powerful enough to find it; at least that's what I'm told. Not to mention only one of the line of Salazar Slytherin can open it" Snape said shocked. Harry smirked, his eyes glittering with amusement. "You don't know everything about me, my dear Severus." and almost hissed out the last word in parseltounge, making Snape look even more shocked.
"What do you know about what is going on in the school for the time being? Because, if you do, I can tell you some things i know, but else, i won't. And, you must promise me never to tell the headmaster anything. Or else, someone might find an early death." Harry smirked at the look of horror crossing the man's face, but nevertheless he answered "I know that Mr. Malfoy is involved with the attacks on the students somehow, although he has not told me anything else than that he is doing it to help the Dark Lord." Snape said, curious about what the boy knew.
"Did you tell Dumbledore?" Harry asked, his face no longer looking amused, but with a very serious look. "No, and I'm sure that he will not find out that i know something about the Dark Lord's doing and whereabouts. All I have been told is that if the plan succeeds, the Dark Lord will return." Snape said, and Harry smirked, a smirk that made Snape wonder what the heck was going on. Snape gasped as the boy put up a mask making his look like a True Slytherin, almost as by blood. Why would the boy who lived be happy with the Dark Lord's return?
"Very well, I hope that you will keep your eyes on the welfare of the students, while Dumbledore tries to figure out what is going on. And I will be watching you, Sir. Make sure you will not spill Mr. Malfoy's plan to anyone, or Hogwarts will have to look for a new Potion's Master. Mark my words, Professor." Harry warned him, making Snape wonder who the boy thought he was... And trying to forget how much he sounded like the Dark Lord, but he knew that they could not be related, as the boy had almost been murdered by his Lord.
"Good night, professor. I will be waiting for you to accompany me to London this weekend." Harry said, taking his leave, making the Potion's Master look after him with a bewildered look on his face.
