Author's note: Hi! This is my first fic and I would just like you to know that I am sorry if I made any mistakes in making this fic. Hope you enjoy!
CHAPTER 1 - BIRTHDAY GIFT
Slyth, Harry's new pet snake that was given by his bestfriend, Hermione, had to tickle Harry's ear to get him to snap out of his daydream about Hogwarts. He missed school so much that he would do just about anything to live there during the summer. He knew it was impossible ,but if he did even if he was all alone it would be much better than living with the Dursleys.
Harry hadn't told the Dursleys about his new pet snake. God knows what Uncle Vernon's going to do when he finds a three foot long silvery blue snake slithering around Harry's bedroom. Harry had told Slyth that it would be best if he would stay under his bed most of the day just incase one of the Dursleys might peek into his room without Harry knowing.
It was nice to have a snake to talk to, still it wasn't the same as talking to a real person. Slyth would only talk about his home and the rest of his family back where he came from, because he didn't really know much about the real world, since he had been taken from his family when he was just a few weeks old and had been kept in a cage ever since.
Slyth wasn't totally boring. Actually he's really quite wise and very good at giving advise. It's just that when he starts talking about his family he would just go on and on and on. It would sometimes make Harry wish that he wasn't a Parselmouth, just so he wouldn't have to listen to Slyth's dragging stories.
He started thinking if he should ask Ron if he could stay with him and his family at the Burrow for the rest of the summer. The Dursleys surely wouldn't mind. They'd be more than happy just to get rid of Harry.
Yet Harry felt a bit embarrassed to stay at Ron's even though he knew Mr. and Mrs. Weasley would love to have him stay. It was just that Harry didn't want to be a burden to Ron's parents since they already had seven children to take care of in the house. Having one more kid around didn't seem like a good idea to Harry. But after a while, Harry erased all those negative thoughts from his mind and decided to owl Ron to ask if he could stay.
He sat down behind his desk and pushed all his birthday presents away to give him room. Then he pulled out a quill and a parchment from the top drawer. Only when he had begun to think about how to start off his letter, that he noticed the loud hooting sound that Hedwig had been doing to get Harry's attention. Harry quickly got the message. Hedwig really wanted to get out of her cage since she wasn't really used to being in one for such a long time. Harry automatically got up and walked to Hedwig's cage. He stuck in his finger and petted the snowy owl's head. This quickly stopped Hedwig from making anymore noise.
"Don't worry, I'll let you out soon." he told her, at the same time, wishing that she would understand. After a few seconds of petting he saw Hedwig stare at Slyth's direction. Harry knew that Hedwig didn't like having a new pet around. Especially when Harry's new pet was a snake!
He walked back to his desk and sat back down to continue concentrating on his letter. Then finally the right words came into his head.
Dear Ron,
Hope you're doing well. I'm.fine, I guess. So how's everyone at the Burrow doing? I hope they're ok too. Thanks for all those presents you, Gred and Forge sent me. Especially that snitch keychain. It's really cool how its wings pop out everytime I throw it across the room. And say thank you to your mother for me for all that food she sent and that new green sweater with a lightning bolt. You know what Hermione gave me for my birthday? A pet snake! Not a book! A snake! I'll have to owl Professor Dumbledore to see if it's alright if I bring a snake to Hogwarts.
His name is Slyth. I couldn't name him because he already told me his name. It was kind of weird at first being able to talk to your pet snake, but after a while you start to like it. I'll introduce you to him when you'll get to see him. ("Oh wait, that reminds me, I'll have to thank Hermione for her gift. I'll send her an owl right after I finish Ron's letter", Harry thought.)
There's something else I wanted to ask you about. I wanted to know if you're doing anything for the summer. If you're not I was wondering if I could stay with you and everybody else at the Burrow for the rest of the summer. I'll understand if all of you are busy. I could always ask Sirius or Hermione. No I don't think Hermione's a good idea.. Anyway.whatever's alright with me. Well, that's about it. I'll be waiting for your reply.
Your friend,
Harry
Harry let out a huge breath and started rolling up the letter. He stood up to walk over to Hedwig's cage. He saw that Slyth had already gone under Harry's bed to take a nap, so now it was ok if Harry let Hedwig out of her cage. Then he opened the lock, not having to open the opening of the cage to let her out since she practically pushed it open herself, because she had been so anxious to get out. Harry would have let her out earlier, but he couldn't since she always flew around the room chasing Slyth and trying to poke him with her beak. Once, Harry tried to make them friends, but it didn't work out because right when he let Hedwig out of her cage Slyth hissed at her and Hedwig went wild. Then Harry decided that there's nothing he could do to make them get along.
Exhausted from all the work he had done for the Dursleys an hour ago, Harry ached just to jump onto his bed and fall into a deep sleep. But he can't because he still had to write a letter to Hermione and maybe another for Sirius. He was worried about his godfather. And wanted to know if he could probably stay with him if Ron couldn't let Harry stay with him and his family during the summer.
The moment he had finished writing the last two letters, he quickly tied all of them to Hedwig's leg and set her out into the night. Glad for finally finishing all his work he fell onto his bed and did what he's been wanting to do hours ago, fell into a deep sleep.
Author: So what do you think? Hope you guys liked it! There will be more chapters coming. I'm planning on making this fic look like a novel if I have to.
