The Quest of the Seekers: The Elements of Transformation

Year One at Hogwarts

Note: The characters from the Harry Series belong to J.K. Rowing but the new ones belong to me. Also when the dialogue is in slanted words it represents parseltongue except for spells and such.

Summary: Now before you hit the go back button and ignore my story just give it a chance and I think you'll like it.

This story takes place before Harry was born and is to a different style. It involves a whole new boy wizard with this own connection to He-who-must- not-be-named. It starts at the time of the Marauder's seventh year. I know that the canon supports that Harry was born in 1980 and goes to Hogwarts starting in 1991 but for my story all the facts get pushed 10 years. Let me admit this that I'm too lazy to look up events in the 70's to use to shape their behavior. I'm still in my teen years.

Watch as this new boy grows and makes 3 friends and goes with them on a quest to complete his destiny. Known and unknown characters will appear with brand new magic. Friendship, loyalty, compassion, courage and unity will run high in a story of how underage wizards can be of the best in the world.

This is one of seven stories I plan to make. Then I plan to make an eighth that will be the seventh year of Harry Potter having to do with my story. So for now just sit back and read this story. Then after you're done go to my sequels of this story if they've been created yet.

Chapter 1: The Wand Heir of Salazar Slytherin

An 11 year old boy with black, tamable hair but still a little messy called out in a big mansion with a very urgent voice.

"Mom! Dad! Please, can we hurry up! I got to get on the Hogwarts Express with my things so we need to go to Diagon Alley so we could buy the items on my school list."

Tyler Solemn was excited to go to Diagon Alley and get his own wizarding items for his first coming year at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. A man then came up to him and patted his head.

"OK, son but we need to give you the family test, remember."

"Oh! How could I forget?"

Tyler then remembered the legend from his father that was passed down from a seer centuries ago...

The Slytherin line may have been forsaken. But there will be a hope. The family traitor's wand will go to a new snake tongue clan member who could change this treachery. All over Parseltongue will be called evil but the new wand bearer will erase instant doubt. Present & Future parselmouths will be free as the new wand bearer will be the New Hope!

"Well, okay dad. Let's go try this."

Tyler followed his father to a circular room where a woman with a kind face and long black hair was waiting. He looked very surprised to see her there.

"Mom! You're here to see me try too?!"

"Of course Tyler! This is a big family tradition. I hope my baby will get to have this wand."

Mr. And Mrs. Solemn were very excited. Every time a Slytherin was going to Hogwarts they were given the test of the wand of the family prophecy- Salazar Slytherin's wand. The wand has accepted no one after Salazar died but it has been a tradition to try. Tyler's dad Simon Solemn Slytherin failed but was eager to see his son have the test. He went to the case of the wand and lifted the glass covering.

"Okay son, time to try. Come."

Tyler stepped to the stand. He wanted to end this because he really wanted to go to Diagon Alley. He knew it's been 1000 years and the wand didn't respond to no one so why should it be different for him. He slowly put his hand to the wand and took a deep breath and said a "Here goes "He lifted the wand off the pedestal and nothing happened. His dad stepped up to the still form of his son.

"Ok, Tyler it looks like..."

But he never got to finish for green lights and sparks started shooting out of the tip. Tyler's eyes shot with extreme surprise that could go unrivaled.

"With a shaky voice he said. What's going...on dad?"

Mr. Solemn almost cried in happiness.

"The wand has chosen you. Now you will make it possible for us parselmouths to be safe from injustice and being feared by everyone. Right now it is only getting worse. That family disgrace Riddle is ruining more of our good name that our ancestor Salazar started."

His face had become bitter while Tyler's head shot up.

"Riddle?...Oh, you mean my cousin Tom right, Voldemort?"

"Yeah. He sure is a hopeless case. Maybe if my older sister could've lived long enough too...Well, it doesn't matter. That nephew of mine caused disgrace but now knowing that you are the owner of the wand of the founding Slytherin, I have hope for our future descendants and us."

Just then a small house elf with a blue cloth dress and a red ribbon bow appeared.

"Good master, I believe you need to go and shop for Master Tyler's school things."

"Oh thank you very much for reminding us Yenze. Okay son, are you ready for a trip to Diagon Alley?"

"Are you kidding?! I've been waiting all my life!"

Tyler pocketed his new wand and followed his parents to the fireplace where he grabbed floo powder and threw it into the flames.

Tyler cleared his throat and spoke. "Diagon Alley!"

Then he got out of the fireplace in Tom's Inn at the Leaky Cauldron Pub. The Solemns went to their vault in Gringotts to make a withdrawal of the galleons that they will need for that day. Their vault was deeper than most of the other family vaults being that their bloodline goes beyond the founding of Hogwarts. They got Tyler's robes and his books first. Then as a present for being "chosen" they went on and decided to get him both an owl and another animal as a pet. He almost threw the galleons at the shopkeeper of the Magical Menagerie in excitement. He decided to have a brown barn owl and also chose a medium sized snake as his present. The second he picked his snake he decided to call him Chaos because he caught the snake complaining "there has been nothing but trouble ever since I was caged in here" He saw it was funny and he wanted to take him in. However, unlike all upcoming first years they didn't go to Ollivander's for a wand since Tyler already had one. They set for their mansion and Tyler was sent right to bed so there wouldn't be problems on the way to King's Cross Station.

"Okay. Goodnight mom. Goodnight dad. Oh and I won't need anything Yenze, thank you."

But Tyler didn't go to sleep. He took out his wand and looked at it. He couldn't see how this wand was to be the key to his destiny.

"Maybe that seer exaggerated the prophecy to my ancestors because I don't feel anything like a noble family hero." Tyler decided to test his new wand. "Ok, now I need to try a spell...er...Lumos!"

All of a sudden, light shot out in a bright glow, which lit his room. After practicing small spells he decided to address his new pets. First, he started on his new owl.

"Well, it's a good thing I pay attention to my parents when they perform spells and I read up some of our family spell books so I could get a head start."

He then started to hiss to Chaos.

"So I hope you will like me very much, chaos."

Chaos then answered back. "I'm sure I will, master."

"Don't call me master, please Chaos. Call me Tyler. Now that we are on name, can you tell me what name you believe suits my owl?"

"He seems like a good flyer, sir. Why not name him Pandemona after the spirit of the wind."

"Sounds good but maybe I'll call him Pandy for short."

Then he addressed his bird in English.

"Listen, how would you like to be called Pandy short for Pandemona?"

There was a hoot in response and a nod from his new owl.

"Okay then, Pandy it is. You could thank Chaos for your new name."

Pandy gave Chaos a nod and hooted to him in friendship and Chaos returned with a snake bow and a friendly hiss. Tyler put down his wand, bid his new pet friends goodnight and went into a nice sleep. The next morning brought good moods to the Solemn/Slytherin family. All of the thing Tyler needed were in his trunk and after a big breakfast they set off for King's Cross by car. The car was a regular muggle car that was provided by the Ministry. Tyler's dad worked in the Department of International Cooperation and was well paid along with his good fortune. The time was 10:15 by the time they arrived at King's Cross Station. When they passed through the barrier between platforms nine and ten and ended up on platform nine and three- quarters Mr. Solemn pulled his son away for a private chat.

"Listen Tyler, I need to give you a final reminder."

"Sure dad, What is it?" His dad seemed very tense.

"Don't let anyone know about you being a parselmouths let alone a Slytherin. Your last name in public is your middle name, Solemn. I know you won't tell anyone, right?! Remember my grandfather?"

"Yes father. You don't need to worry about that. I won't tell anyone. I won't end up like great grandpa."

Tyler's great grandfather had made the mistake of revealing he was a parselmouth. He was looked as a Dark Wizard and was taken without trial to Azkaban where later he was given the most horrible ting that a dementor guard could do. Give the dementor's kiss. He had his soul sucked out of him and died while in Azkaban. To make matters worse, Tyler's dad Simon saw all the events of his capture as a child. Tyler could see that his father was still haunted by that experience even though he tired to hide it.

"All right then. Good luck and please write back with you owl telling us what house you're in."

"Okay, but it's obvious I'll end up in Slytherin like all of our family but I'll send Pandy and let you know."

Tyler went aboard the train after waving both his parents goodbye. The train wasn't set to leave but Tyler thought he should find a compartment and store his stuff. He passed many compartments filled with school wizards but he wanted one to himself. Growing up as part of a wizard family who keeps to itself makes meeting new people and making more friends close to nothing. Tyler just got used to being alone. After going through the train Tyler saw a compartment in the back of the train that sounded empty. The train's whistle sounded and the Hogwarts Express set off. Tyler went to the last compartment to find a red haired boy that looked his age sitting there.

AN/: End of Chapter 1. For everyone who's confused, Tyler's full name is Tyler Solemn Slytherin. His family are direct descendants of Salazar Slytherin but they hide themselves so they won't be persecuted. Out in public they used a passed on middle name "Solemn" as their last name. Coming Soon will be chapter two: Getting Over Loneliness.
