This idea was really bugging me so I had to write it, I really wanted to finish my other story but oh well .
I OWN NOTHING EXCEPT OPHELIA (This is for all the chapters)
A Snakes Companion
Prologue
" Nagini, I have a job for you."
Nagini lifted her head as she heard her master speak.
" What would that be master?" she hissed not showing her irritation of being awoken. She hated it when her master got like this, she thought back to the days when they had first met. He had been so kind to her, it had been so nice to be able to talk to another, even if it was a human speaker.
" You know of the Potter boy?" He asked in his shrill hiss. It was not a question, more of a statement.
" How could I not master?" She replied, she did not really care for these human matters or her masters ideas, " He has thwarted your great goal since he was born."
" I want you to go to Hogwarts, that big castle and spy on him and his companions, go now."
Nagini obeyed immediately. There was no use is trying to go against her masters orders. It would only cause her another blast from his magic stick. She suppressed a shudder as she slithered from the room which her master resided. Ever since he had taken the name Lord Voldemort he had never been the same. She began to think back to when they just met, this had become a favourite pastime of hers recently
She had only been a young snake when she had met him. She remembered how surprised she had been to find that there was at least one human who could speak the language of the snakes. She remembered how apart she had been to other snakes. She had disliked the solitary life of every other snake and had always wanted to talk to someone. When Tom, yes, she remembered how she had called him Tom in those first few years, came. It was like a dream come true, he spoke to her and often kept her company in the forest, which was once her home.
When she looked back now she saw that he had always tried to control. All that flattery and offered friendship was just a lie. All he had wanted was a slave. He got what he wanted, Nagini hissed angrily. She hated being with her master now, perhaps she could have got away once, but not now, not now he has done something with his magic stick to her. She could feel it even now, it was like a sharp pain in the back of her mind that never stopped. She knew that part of his soul was lodged in her mind. She didn't like it, she didn't want it there but she had no choice. She continued to slither onwards in the direction that she somehow knew the big castle place was, where the Potter human would be in just a few days time.
As she slithered into the starlight she paused to look up at the stars. This was not something that most snakes did, but Nagini was no longer like most snakes. Her master had changed her, no longer was she one type of snake. She had the venom of a basilisk, the strength of an anaconda and the speed of a black mamba. She was larger than a black mamba but not as large an anaconda.
She sighed as she gazed up at the stars
" I wish I could be free, I wish I could find a true companion and not be a slave anymore." She hissed, but then caught herself quickly, she felt the presence in her mind, it seemed undisturbed. She quickly continued on her way. She knew that if her master had happened to pay attention to his soul piece in her mind at that moment he would have heard that and there would be a very painful punishment for Nagini.
As she arrived at the big castle the sun was beginning to rise, she found a bush away from the giant-human's hut. She hid under it and sun bathed whilst still staying concealed, away from any human eyes.
