Ch 1. Falling down the rabbit hole

*/*/*

Harry was falling; wind was ripping at his body tearing at it sending him tumbling head over heels left and right. If it weren't for the fact he was going down he wouldn't have a clue which way was up. To make the sickening sensation worse he was constantly changing shapes trying to find one to slow his fall, it wasn't happening, none of his shapes had wings or was light enough to slow his fall, no all it was doing was making his head and stomach spin. But that didn't stop his panicked magic from trying, the fact he could barely breathe was a footnote at this stage.

He heard a noise off to one side after a series of twists and turns he finally able to turn his head in the right direction and found he was blinded by the wind pressure; it was forcing his streaming eyes shut. Being given something to work with his magic shifted his form again this time to the one without eyelids and settled for the moment. Harry grabbing the chance twisted his body once again towards the noise, that hadn't stopped crying since he had begun to fall, it had just taken him this long to even hear it in his defence he was falling through very thin air.

The noise was coming from Hedwig, well he assumed it was Hedwig his vision wasn't what he would call normal at the moment but hopping she knew something he didn't he tried to figure out what she wanted, as he fell to his doom. After a few minutes of Hedwig spreading her wings and then drawing them towards herself and angling downwards to the left did it finally dawn on Harry that maybe he should copy her. Shifting his form once again to one with arms and legs Harry streamlined his body and tried to follow Hedwig's barking cry's which were coming out thin and reedy due to the thin air.

Hedwig upon grasping the situation and stopping her own tumbling fall, had cast her senses out to find a safe place to land for her and her shape confused hatchling she saw a field of white off in the distance and her own internal magic said 'that was the closest place to land safely'. Getting Harry's attention had proved quite difficult but needs must and proceeded to guide him towards the sea of white. Using her own body to help guide him in was very taxing on her but the new power she had been gifted with had somehow doubled her size and seemed to be filling her with more energy. If she ever saw those Being again she was so going to peck them, just what were they thinking her hatchling didn't have wings and if it weren't for her own upgrade she would most certainly be dead, owls just weren't meant to fly this high thank you very much.

Harry having finally entered Hedwig's slipstream was now able to take a few moments to contemplate that fact they were still falling and after a long drop came a short stop and really hoped Hedwig had a plan.

After falling for what felt like forever, Harry started to notice it was getting slightly easier to breath and then he hit white, it lasted for a second but totally throw him off balance once again, limbs flailing all-around losing all sense of direction. He was going so fast by this stage that he had slammed strait through a cloud and was on his way to hitting another and another and to his great surprise and confusion they were actually slowing his fall and there was a real feeling of hitting something.

After hitting a few dozen, he was falling at a more reasonable speed one where he could actually take in the view, mostly it was a whitish blue that almost seemed to be moving but of in the distance there was green. From what he could make out it looked like a bit like a forest with a huge long stick tree towering up in the middle but there was no way for them to reach it and frankly Harry didn't want to try, the strange white clouds where softly and slowly breaking his fall. Merlin it was a strange place he had chosen.

The blue white ground was coming closer by the moment and he could finally see that it was water? Bubbly foamy water, 'wow Hedwig really came through', Harry quickly raised his arms into a diving position. He rather thought no matter how soft it might look you weren't supposed to dive into water at the speeds that Harry was going and broken arms he could deal with a lot better than a broken neck or a bloody fractured skull. Harry had no more time to think he hit the water with a great splash, sending up a geyser of water and went down and down and just as he was starting to slowly come to a sto... he hit air again "WHAT THE BLOODY FUCK" he shrieked.

Bloody hell he was falling again with a few desperate scrabbling movements where he tried to climb air to get back to the foamy sea above, he was falling again, growling to himself in frustrated rage he noticed there was a second sea below and almost wept with gratitude. This time he was going to make sure that he stopped falling because he wasn't lucky enough to have a third drop land him somewhere safe and most importantly soft. This time he landed feet first in the soft light water and quickly spread out his limbs until he slowed and kicked up. Having had the forethought to keep looking up so he didn't get lost in the cloudy water and accidently go down.

Breaking through to the surface he was finally able to breathe again, lungs heaving and desperately trying to fill his oxygen starved body. Harry shook the foamy water from his face and tried to spot Hedwig but trying to spot a snowy owl in this white world was a lesson in futility.

Just then he felt something brush past his leg, he froze for a moment having flash backs to the second task in the BlackLake and Jaws which he had watch through the grill in his cupboard when Uncle Vernon had watched it late one night, he had had nightmares for weeks after that. Then he was moving swimming away in a mess of legs and arms, in his panicked frenzy he shifted form once again and shot of like a bullet, it took him actually reaching semi sold ground before his frenzied mind calmed enough to even realised that A- he was safe and nothing was chasing him and B- he wasn't human anymore.

Wow he stared down at himself in stunned disbelief, he knew that he had been shifting forms before when falling but this was the first time he had gotten a chance to see it, he was huge and and pretty. He was to his estimation between 25 feet to 30 feet long and somewhere between 10 to 15 inches' wide* he didn't even want to guess his weight. Strangely his eyes could see in colour he didn't know snakes could see in colour he thought 'they were like cats and dogs only able to see in greyscale but then again they were supposed to have infrared'. He looked at himself in awe twisting his head around his body trying to take it all in, over all his scales where a shiny glossy black with brilliant bright red and gold markings, unknowing to Harry he also had a crest every much like the one the basilisk had in the chamber of secrets. He had also kept his brilliant glowing green eyes that seemed to sparkle as they took in his new form, just then he heard a barking cry looking up he saw Hedwig flying around his head.

"$$Hay Hedwig, clever girlss sshould have knowns you would findss a different wayss down than through the waterss$$" Harry called out, Hedwig landed on a bit of cloud that jutted out from the rest settled her feathers and gave him a look as if to say 'of cause' she could perfectly understand him no matter what form he took.

Harry deciding that being a giant snake was cool and all but he wanted to see the changes to his human form, concentrating on having two legs and arms he tried to consciously shift his form, this didn't go as smoothly as his panicked shifts had. After a lot of effort and time he finally had his human body back, granted he was on all fours panting like a dog and felt like he was going to throw up and his face felt like it was on fire but he had done it. A grin cracked his face 'go Harry! Oh crap.' His self congratulation was a bit too soon, his gut rebelled and he was throwing up 'blarrr'.

Gods it felt like he had heaved his entire gut out and he shuddered looking down at what he had chucked up with morbid fascination, there before him covered in yuck was a silver necklace with a triangle symbol studded with tiny emeralds onto a locket and an egg. Oh yeah they had said they would find a way to send them safely with him, he just hadn't thought it would be inside his gut. 'Merlin his throat hurt', Harry grimaced it didn't smell any better than it looked, he was going to have to touch that, to clean them, eewww.

Just then Harry noticed something hanging down past his face, falling around from his head was a curtain of sparkling dark red**, he sat back on his heals raised a shacking hand and gave it a tug "ouch that hurt" he exclaimed in surprise. 'Oh nonono his hair wasn't red it defiantly wasn't sparkly no no no' he staggered to his feet and hesitantly pulled a chunk away from his body. It was long very long it was so long that the tips pooled on the ground and it was red, a dark blood red, he gulped "ok it's OK I can deal with blood red hair but but WHY is it SPARKLY?" He yelled, well croaked really his throat was still raw.

Totally dismissing that he was butt naked in a strange world, he was shapeshifting and standing on a solid cloud after falling from unknown heights, he had fallen through a sea of liquid cloud, yep he was totally going to freaking out about his long girly hair. It seemed much safer for his sanity.

*A bit smaller than the snakes in the movie Anaconda which is small for some of the snakes and other animals in One Piece.

Snake Harry brighter and more vibrant than picture and in general body shape and looks his is the same as the snakes in the movie Anaconda
