Well all, I'm new with this whole Harry Potter fan fiction. I hope you all like my firs attempt.

Disclaimer: I do not own any Harry Potter characters! They belong to J.K. Rowling. If I did own them, a lot would be different in the books. I only own Sashi.

Slithering, silently, towards the boy lying in the grass under the starry sky, she listened to him singing. It was a soft, quiet song that she didn't understand. She felt drawn to the boy in some odd way. When she was only a few feet away, he stopped his singing, and listened. Though she highly doubted he could hear or respond, she hissed out a greeting. She expected him to jump up and run away, like everyone else she met like him. She was wrong. Instead, he rolled over onto his stomach and faced her. To her greater surprise, he hissed a greeting of his own. She moved closer so he could see her better, before rearing up and replying.

"You speak my language." It was a statement, not a question.

The boy laughed. She let out a hiss of warning that he was treading on dangerous grounds. He spoke after she hissed again. "Sorry. I always get that reaction. But, yes, I can. May I ask what your name is?"

"My name is not any of your concern. I shall tell you when you are worthy of knowing my name. For now, tell me, how is it you can speak with me, snake-boy."

"I acquired this trait, this language, from someone else, when I was marked. The Dark Lord, if you might know him."

"Ah…" the female snake hissed, venomously. "You must be Harry Potter. I have heard a great deal about you." She let her clear green eyes flicker to the lighting bolt scar that mark his forehead, before returning to stare into his green eyes.

"I am not surprised. It is a pleasure to meet you as well, beautiful one."

"Please…I am called Sashi."

"Ah, I see I am worthy. But it is a beautiful name. A beautiful name for a beautiful snake."

She went to point out it was too dark to see what she looked like, when the back door to the house they were near was thrown open.

"Boy!" the silhouetted man bellowed. "Get in here! Just because you leave tomorrow, doesn't mean you stop following the rules!"

Harry stood and brushed himself off, before looking at the snake at his feet. "It was a pleasure talking to you, but now I must leave…" He turned to leave.

"Let me come."

"What?" He turned his head to look at her.

"You heard me. I would like to come with you."

He paused, not sure how to respond. When his uncle yelled to him again, he decided.

"Alright." He leaned over and put his hand to the ground so Sashi could climb up his arm and rest across his shoulders. When she was settled, he jogged towards the house. He made sure Sashi was well hidden before he stepped into the light so his uncle could see him. Uncle Vernon sneered at him.

"Your lucky boy. I was gettin' ready to lock you out here for the night." He slammed the door behind Harry when he walked in. "Get up to your room. I don't want to hear so much as a whisper out of you for the rest of the night."

Harry nodded, the ran down the hall, up the stairs, and to his room. He shut the door and sat down on his bed. The snakes' weight, which wasn't much, suddenly disappeared off his shoulder. He turned around to see her on his bed, looking at him as she did out in the yard.

"How…" He didn't need to finish the question on how she was sitting on the bed. He turned on the lamp by his bed to get a better look at her.

The snake, Sashi, was pale silver in color, and quite small. She had a black tipped tail, and a four-pointed star marked her forehead, just above her sparkling green eyes. What was the most surprising were the black tipped wings that were set on her back. "Sashi, what…?"

"Wings." she hissed, slightly amused.

He was speechless. "Can I…?" He stretched out a hand, indicating he would like to touch her wings. She nodded her head in approval. He placed his hand just above where her wings started and stroked downwards. She let out a soft hiss of pleasure, and he repeated the action.

Harry laughed slightly. "I knew you were beautiful…But this is beyond…"

"May I live with you?"

Harry looked shocked. "Live with me? I leave tomorrow to go to Hogwarts. School. You want to go with me there?"

"Yes, Harry Potter, the snake-boy. I would like to travel with you, where ever you go."

Harry smiled. "Alright then, Sashi. I will gladly let you live with me."
