Hello, everyone welcome to the first chapter of my newest fanfiction. I know I said on my profile I wouldn't do anymore stories until one of my first four was complete, but this idea just would not leave me alone. So with that out of the way on with the story.

Disclaimer: Harry Potter is owned by J.K. Rowling, if I owned it The Cursed Child wouldn't exist.

Saint Anne's was a church just outside of New York City, that serves as an orphanage for troubled kids. One of them was getting a visitor today.

Phineas or Finn as he prefers to be called had just woken up and was about to feed his "special friend" when Sister Emily came in and told him to get dressed, he had a visitor. This caught Finn by surprise, people came to Saint Anne's to adopt kids all the time, but he with his reputation he found it unlikely that it would happen to him. Not that Finn was a delinquent, but strange things kept happening around him. Lights flickered when he was upset, windows cracked when he walked by, and when he was hiding from some older boys he suddenly found himself in a movie theater showing Star Wars. Events like these caused Finn to be bounced from orphanage to orphanage until finally Saint Anne's.

"Who do you think isss coming to ssssee you?" A voice asked from underneath his bed. Out from under his bed came a small black snake with horns on the top of his head and a sapphire on its forehead.

"No idea Amadeus, can't imagine why anyone would come to see me." Finn said. Amadeus was the closest thing he had to a friend at the moment. He found him as an egg when he was 8, at first he thought he was just a cool rock until he hatched. He was even more surprised when he found out he could talk.

He gave him his name because of a time he was about to go to the library to try to find out more about what exactly he was, but before he could even take a step in Amadeus started making a strange musical noise which caused Finn to rush back to the church to see if he could find out why. Later, Finn found out that library caught on fire. He then named him Amadeus, after Mozart.

As Finn was about to leave, Amadeus slithered up his arm, wrapped himself around his neck, completely hidden by the collar of the shirt. As Finn made his way to Sister Emily's office he overheard a conversation the other kids were having.

"Did you hear Finn is getting a visitor?"

"Really, who would come to see that freak?"

"Probably the police." One of the boys said. "Finally, taking him to the loony bin where he belongs."

"Guys, quiet he's right there." One of the girls whispered. Turning to them, Finn put on a menacing smirk, causing them to scatter. Finn chuckled, ever since he came here anyone who talked bad about him would wake up with their hair glued to the bed, their food being doused in hot sauce and their shoes filled with what they hope was mud.

Finn entered the

The man had a hooked nose, greatly black hair, and pale skin surprisingly he was also wearing a black robe. "Phineas, this is Professor Snape he just finished me about the boarding school you will be going to from now on."

"Boarding school?" Professor Snape finally spoke.

"Sister Emily, may I speak to Phineas alone for a moment?" Snape asked, when the nun left the room Snape pulled out a wand and muttered a few words. "There now we can speak without worry, Phineas I know that strange things have been happening to you."

"I'm sorry sir, but I don't know what you're talking about."

"Of course then I guess this must belong to some other Phineas." Snape then handed Finn a letter. He opened it and began to read.

HOGWARTS SCHOOL OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore (Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorcerer, Chief Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confederacy of Wizards)

Dear Mr Phineas,

We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.

Yours sincerely,

Minerva McGonagall

Deputy Headmistress

Finn read the letter again, then, again, and a fourth time. He turned to Snape. "You're not lying are you?" Finn asked.

"I have no reason to lie."

Finn hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Okay, what happens now?"

"First, pack your things, then we will stop by the school to speak with Headmaster Dumbledore about where you will be staying from now on."

Finn packed his things quickly and came back down stairs where Snape was waiting for him.

"Take my hand." Snape said simply. As soon as Finn did he felt almost like going through the loop on a rollercoaster being everywhere and nowhere all at the same time. Then, almost as soon as it began the feeling was gone and they were in some kind of stone hallway of a castle. Finn followed Snape down the hallway to a statue, it then moved aside to reveal a staircase. After going up the staircase they arrived at the headmaster's office.

Finn had been to the principal's office before, usually because he pulled a prank on someone. Dumbledore's office was nothing like that, for one it was a lot bigger. It was more like a library than a office, it was filled with books and strange knick knacks that he couldn't even begin to identify and in the center was the headmaster himself. He actually looked like how most kept kids would think of a wizard, long white beard, long silky robe, and a pointy hat to match.

"You must be Phineas, I am Professor Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts."

"Hello." Finn said. "Snape said-"

"Professor Snape." Dumbledore softly, admonished.

"Professor Snape said I would be going to school here, is that true?" Finn asked.

"Yes, but first we must find somewhere for you to stay during the summer." Dumbledore said. "An old acquaintance of mine has agreed to let you stay with her, she has a grandson that will be going to Hogwarts as well, will that be alright?"

Finn hesitated for a second, but then decided. "Okay." Dumbledore smiled and turned to Snape.

"Please, inform Augusta that she can come in now." Snape nodded and left the room.

After a few minutes a elderly woman walked in. Would you look at that hat. Finn thought. She had a vulture attached to her hat.

"Well, Dumbledore," she said, impatiently. "Is this the boy?" She gave Finn a once over, as if looking for something.

"Augusta this is Phineas, Phineas this is Augusta Longbottom." Dumbledore introduced. "You will be staying with her until you come to Hogwarts."

"Well, Phineas-"

"Finn." He interrupted. What was with these people using his full name. Mrs. Longbottom frowned at the interruption, causing Finn to wince.

"Well, Phineas shall we get going?"She asked, with an outstretched hand. Finn then took her hand and she led him into a fireplace. She then took a bit of powder out of her pocket and threw it on the floor. "Longbottom manor." This time it felt more like hopping first they were in the castle and then the living room of a manor. "I will show you to your room and then tomorrow we can-"

"Gran?" A voice spoke up. "Who is that?" The voice belonged to a young boy about Finn's age.

"Neville, this is Phineas he will be staying with us for a while you will be going to Hogwarts together." Mrs. Longbottom said. "Neville, show Phineas around and get to know each other." Augusta then left the two boys alone in awkward silence.

"So," Neville said, nervously. "I'll show you my garden."

"Okay."

"So, Phineas-"

"Actually, I prefer Finn." He said.

"So, Finn when my Gran introduced you she didn't say your last name what is it?" Neville asked, Finn winced he knew this would come up eventually.

"I actually don't have one." Finn said in a low voice. "I was dropped off at an orphanage and they only knew my first name."

"Oh," said Neville realizing he hit a sore subject. "I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it." Finn said. They arrived at the garden.

"Here it is." Neville said, nervously. "I know it's a little boring, but I like it."

"Boring, are you kidding I think it's amazing." Finn said, each plant looked unique, exotic and seemed to have a magical appeal to it.

Finn's words brought a smile to Neville's face. He thinks he will like having Finn as a housemate.

And that ends the first chapter of The Nameless Slytherin. So, I'm going to try something new let me know what you think.

Finn's Beastiary Entry 1

The Horned Snake

Amadeus is still the only Horned Snake I have seen so far, but I have learned two things. One he makes a musical sound every time I am about to get in trouble. Two he is not a talking snake, but I in fact speak snake. Hopefully I can learn more at Hogwarts.

Signed Finn

So like, favorite, and review. Until next time.
