I have no idea where this came from. I was sitting here thinking that Harry has been paired with every slytherin
possible....and then I realized. I had never seen a story where Harry Potter was in love with Salazar Slytherin and
Salazar in love with him too. So this little creation was born. There will be slash that means love of the male/male
persuassion. hmmmm.......this is slightly AU.....you'll see how, but everything that is different will be explained in the
chapter here and soon to come. There is child abuse in this chapter.
~~~~~
Five year old Harry Potter lay in his cubbard under the stairs sobbing. He wanted his parents or at least a friend.
He wanted someone to talk to, someone to hug when he was crying. Someone that would save him from his uncle. His
uncle had hit him again and he was in pain. The little boy sobbed quietly so as not to disturb anyone else in the house.
He burried his head in his knees and cried in a way no five year old should ever cry. He didn't notice the soft silver glow
that began to fill the small space. Nor did he feel the other presence in the room......untill the man touched him.
Salazar Slytherin stared at the small boy in shock. The boy was huddled in a ball crying. He had been in the middle
of a conversation with Godric and Helga and then he had felt a tug and now he sat in a small closet in front of a child.
He looked around in shock and realized that the mere child had pulled him through time. He very gently lay a hand on
the quaking shoulder.
Harry jerked his head up in surprise, fear in his eyes, his eyes fell on a man sitting in front of his little cot.
As Harry took in the man's looks he began to feel safer. The man had kind crystal blue eyes and very long pretty
white/blond hair. He was dressed funny. The thing that caught Harry's attention was the kindness that radiated
off of him. Remembering his manners Harry introduced himself as politely as he knew how.
"Hello Sir, I'm Harry Potter. Who are you and how did you get here?"
Salazar smiled, he was very drawn to the small boy already,"I'm Salazar Slytherin, and I'm here because
you brought me here."
Harry stared at him in shock,"I did? M-My uncle will be very mad......I'm not supposed to do weird things......"
Tears welled up in his eyes.
Salazar was surprised. Weird? "What do you mean weird things child?"He asked, drawing the tearfull boy into
his arms.
Harry buried his face in the man's pretty hair,"I made a plate break when I was mad and my uncle got mad and hit
me. It's cause I'm bad that my mummy and daddy went away forever."
Salazar felt anger grow in him from what he understood so far the child's relatives hit him,"Harry, tell me, does
your uncle do magic?"
Harry's eyes went wide,"Oh no! He doesn't like magic!!"
Salazar growled inwardly, stupid muggles. He very gently soothed the boy's hair down, then he felt the beginnings
of a tug on his magick,"Harry I've got to go. If you ever need me just picture me here and believe ok?" Harry nodded
and watched his new friend vanish.
"Bye Sal." He whispered, he went and lay down and fell asleep happy in knowing he had a new friend.

Nine year old Harry Potter lay cuddled in a ball whimpering in pain, a few tears escaped his swollen eyes. He had
nothing on except an overly large shirt he got from Dudley. He hurt, worse than he had ever hurt before. He needed Sal.
Closing his eyes he pictured his friend and reached out with himself.
Salazar stared in horror at the site before him. He crouched down and pulled out his wand. He began healing his
Harry. No one hurt anyone he cared about, when he was sure Harry was healed he pulled the sobbing boy into his arms.
"Harry? Talk to me? Are you ok?"
"Sal, he hurt me..........."Harry whispered, clinging to his friend's high collared shirt.
Salazar felt tears in his eyes, but no matter how he wanted to, he couldn't kill the muggles. But he had an idea.
"Don't worry Harry, he won't." He pulled out his wand and Harry flinched,"harry, do you trust me?"
harry nodded and clung tighter to the man.
Salazar whispered a spell."Now when he hits you, the pain will go directly from you to him. I promise, he won't
touch you anymore." Salazar knew that Harry was in a lot of emotional pain. He gently began to rock Harry back and
forth and began to tell him about Hogwarts. He, Rowena,Godric, and Helga had just started it. But after doing some
investigating he knew that it was still around....he also knew Harry would be going.
"In two years you will start Hogwarts school for Witchcraft and wizardry. I want you to know Harry, no matter
what anyone says, which house you are placed in, does NOT mean you will become evil ok? Just be yourself....."Salazar
smiled, seeing Harry was asleep. He pulled something from his pocket, a silver chain with a small silver snake shaped
pendent on it. He put it on Harry's neck and with a kiss to his forehead was gone.

**
Harry stared down at the letter in shock, he was really going to Hogwarts! Just like Sal had said. He ran to tell his
aunt. After Salazar had put the spell on him, his uncle had only tried hitting him once and after that had never touched
him again. He had instead began hitting Petunia who had reported it to the cops, and after kicking him out got a restraining
order and divorce. Since then Harry's life hadn't been that bad at all. He hadn't seen Salazar since a few days before
when his friend had found him talking to a snake at the zoo. He had been surprised to say the least. He had used to think
his friend wasn't real but now that he knew about the wizarding world he wondered jsut who his friend really was.
"Aunt Petunia!" He exclaimed happily, running into the room,"I'm going to Hogwarts!!"
Petunia put down her washing and smiled at her excited nephew. "Do I need to take you to get your things?"
Harry nodded, knowing where to go, Sal had told him everything,"I need a ride to london tomorrow, and in two
days to Kings Crossing.
"What about money?"Petunia asked a little nervously, since the divorce she had been working and money was a
little tight.
"They sent the key to my parents vault,"Harry explained to his aunt. She nodded and gave him a hug and he went
to his room to plan.

Three days later Harry Potter stood in the Great Hall with all the other first years. His train ride to the school
had been a quiet afair him sitting in a compartment alone. That is until a blond headed boy had come in, it seemed everyone
knew Harry. The old man Olivander had said it was because when he was a baby he had defeated the dark lord. Harry
rolled his eyes, as his name was called and the room fell silent. He went and sat on the stool and the hat fell over his head.
A voice spoke in his head /so much like salazar you are little one....but I see you know him. Ahh I know where to put you/
"SLYTHERIN!"
Harry made his way down to the table ignoring the angry and scared whispers echoing around the hall. He sat down
next to the boy he had met on the train. Draco he thought his name was.
"Hello Draco," he said politely.
"Hello again Harry, welcome to slytherin." Draco said, his snobbish tone not there as before. Harry settled down to
watch the rest of the sorting.
