Sneaking in the back door trying to be as quiet as possible, hoping his family wouldn't wake up, a small boy about 10 or 11 years old dressed in black cargo pants and a Slipknot hoddie and combat boots was finally getting home at 12:30. He knew he would be in trouble if he was caught. Not only because he as out so late, but because he had been with his friends the whole time. Which of course was not allowed. The small boy was Harry Potter, 'The Boy Who Lived'. Only he didn't know that, he hardly even knew his name was Harry. His relatives only called him 'Boy' or 'Freak' and his friends called him 'Viper' due to Harry's unwillingness to share his real name and his uncanny love of snakes. He lived with his loving relatives, the Dursley's, because his parents had died when he was an infant. Supposedly when they were driving drunk. Not that Viper cared or anything. After all he had made it this far on his own without them. His friends acted more as his family then his relatives did. Of course it is hard to consider the people who treat you as a slave family.

Viper was coming home so late because he had snuck out earlier in the day to see a movie with his friends and hang out at the mall. He had decided to hang out with them in the park until now so that he could seek back in easier. He and his friends were always doing stuff like this. Normally he didn't have to sneak out though. His relatives were usually happy to have him gone the whole day so they didn't have to put up with his presence. They had decided to keep Harry from seeing his friend this summer though because of the pranks he and his friends had pulled on Dudley, Harry favorite cousin, over the school year. And it was the Dursley's job in life to keep 'that boy' from being happy, so no friends. They always managed to cause trouble anyway, so the Dursley's thought of it as killing two birds with one stone.

Harry hadn't taken the punishment well though and snuck out as much as he could. He was getting into more and more trouble about it as the summer went on and he was worried the Dursley's might lock him up in his cupboard for the rest of the summer if he wasn't careful. This didn't stop him from sneaking out as much as he could though.

Harry had almost reached the cupboard under the stairs that served as his room when the light in the living room right next door turned on. Viper froze in terror knowing what would probably happen next, but taking the opportunity to see if the Dursley's were stupid enough to not see him if he wasn't moving. It didn't work out seeing as you could see him perfectly with the light shinning on him. His eyebrow and cartilage piercings shinning in the light. You could now see the green tint to his hair that went to his earlobes and covered his right eye and the weird scar he had gotten in the car crash and the snake eye contacts in his black lined eyes in the light as well.

"BOY!" yelled Vernon, Vipers loving uncle. "What have I told you about sneaking off like the freak you are to go play with those misguided friends of yours!?!" Vernon spat out. Viper glared, refusing to answer his enormous uncle. Both Vipers uncle and cousin were so overweight Viper wondered how they could move. Well that was Vipers opinion anyway, Petunia, Vipers Aunt, just thought they were hearty eaters. How she could be so skinny and think they're size was normal confused Viper to no end.

"…you are going to regret the day you met those freaks! Hell, You're going to regret the day you drunk parents brought you into this world!" Viper heard as he turned his attention back to his uncle. Viper felt himself being thrown roughly in to the cupboard and winced as he landed on the floor. He heard his uncle locking all of the multiply locks on the door and knew he was going to be in there for a while. Vernon only locked all off the locks when Viper was going to be stuck in the cupboard for a few days, normally he just locked two of the locks.

Great what am I gunna do now? thought viper glumly. Who knows how long I'm going to be stuck here! I wonder where Nagini is? Nagini was a dark, almost black, green boa constrictor Viper had found while working in the garden. She had seemed a little out of place, but Viper went with the flow, glad to finally have a friend. It was Nagini who had helped Viper find his friends. Viper had freaked out when he heard her talking the first time, that and the size of her had almost stopped him from picking her up and getting to know her. It had calmed him down to hear her tell him she would not eat him. She also explained that it was Viper that was talking snake speak and not Nagini talking human speak. Viper wondered how he could talk to snakes, but no one else could. Nagini told him it was because he was special, but refused to go into further detail until his 11th birthday.

Thank god there are only 3 more days until my birthday! Then I will finally know what the hell Nagini means when she says I'm special. I am sick and tired of waiting! Viper had tried to get the information out of her ever since, but she never said anything. Nagini had also warned him not to tell his friends his real name until his 11th birthday because they would know why he was so special, but would make a big fuss about it and not be his friend. Viper was tempted to tell them anyway, but decided it was better to have friends rather than more enemies. Dudley had made sure Viper never had any friends at school until his friends showed up, so Viper did everything he could to keep them his friends.

Viper remembered when he met his friends they would not talk to him until Nagini slithered up to say hi and then leave. He had just assumed they were big snake fans like him. That is how they all got their names. Vipers friends had decided to hide their own identities as well. Probably just to spite Viper and his weirdness. They had all chosen their favorite snakes as their names. They decided on Viper, Mamba, and Cobra. Oddly enough the teachers at school had Viper, Mamba, and Cobra written on their attendance sheets, so they didn't have to worry about their names being found out at school. They had become the best of friends in their fives years of knowing each other, quickly earning a reputation for being the tough kids in their grade. No one bothered them, not even the upper classmen. The people who annoyed them usually ended up severely hurt, so after a few weeks of people getting hurt, nobody ever bothered them again.

Viper was looking forward to his birthday this year more then ever. Not only because he would finally be told why he was special, but his friends had promised to take him to their houses! He had been friends with them for five years, but had yet to meet their parents or be invited to their houses. Even though they assured him their parents wanted to meet him. Or so his friends claimed.

-Thinking again Viper?- hissed a shadow in the corner of the cupboard.

-Yesss. How could you tell?- hissed Viper to the shadow he knew to be Nagini.

-You make a funny face when you think. It is quite amusing, but very Gryffindor of you.- hissed Nagini as she slid out of the shadows. Viper had never understood that insult. He just knew that being a Gryffindor was bad and being a Slytherin was bad. Nagini said he would understand when he turned 11. Speaking of that…

-Will you tell me now?- Viper hissed.

-3 days… only 3. You have waited this long perfectly fine. You will survive another 3 days.- hissed Nagini, chuckling.

-Great. More waiting. Why cant you tell me? Its only 3 days early! Besides I might be stuck in here another week and it will pass the time.- hissed Viper, mad that he would probably miss his best birthday ever because of the Dursley's.

-Hmmmm… I think it is time you met your friends parents. I will go grab your stuff from the Dursley's hiding place and we will leave through my hole when I return.- hissed Nagini as she slipped away.

-Wait! How am I going to fit through the whole. Its really small if you haven't noticed!... Nagini?- hissed Viper, but Nagini was already gone. How is she going to convince my friends to take me to there parents anyway? Uggg, Nagini can be so difficult! Viper sighed as he collected his hidden Walkman and CD's. I hate waiting. Viper thought as he turned on his Bullet For My Valentine CD and settled down to wait for Nagini.
