A.N. I hope you all enjoy this story. I know I should be updating but my mind hurts from that story right now. I promise to get to it as soon as I can.

Majestic isn't it?
That something so ugly can also be so breathtakingly beautiful.
Hands down I think you might be the most ugly thing since the basilisk. But that really doesn't matter. Because you're something I created. With my own flesh, blood, and magic. Me and my lover.
He left us baby. I won't leave you. Never. Maybe he didn't mean to leave or maybe he did. I don't care. I love you with all my soul and I am going to take care of you. Damn the consequences. We must hide little one. There are many people who will want you dead. For reasons I cannot tell you. Because they don't understand. But they will never find us. Not until I want to be found.
I won't forget to tell you about my past my little one. You need to know why things are the way they are. Why we must go into hiding. But not now.
For now we run.
---------------------------------------------
A dark brown haired little girl who couldn't have been more than 3 or 4 years old ran down her front path. She giggled and skipped and twirled around in the forest that was her home. She didn't know where her father was but she was strong-willed and determined to find him before he called her so they could leave. It was almost like a game they played and she knew it would be the last time they could do it. He would leave before she awakened and she would go off in search of him. She knew she couldn't go far in her search but she wouldn't dare. There were dangers out there. Her father reminded her all the time of the areas she could not go into.
She stopped twirling and wavered around a little bit dizzy. She shook her head and ran off in the direction that always started 'The Hunt' as her father liked to joke. To the East.
She poked under low tree branches and scampered over large rocks. Her father was most likely to be in this area or perhaps a few more paces to the north. She sniffed and smiled and started to run through the woods almost like a deer in flight when she heard a voice.
'Every day I see this child run past here. Does she not know she's disturbing our sleep! If she should come by this way again I swear I shall strike her!!' a slippery like voice rang out softly. She stopped running and turned around, watching the woods warily. Her father had warned her but she had not listened. There really were creatures that could speak! Slowly she tip-toed back the way she came and sunk low to the ground, trying to see who was speaking.
'Perhaps it's a small dwarf or elf! Or maybe a fairy or...'
A snake?
More than one apparently. It seemed to be a huge massive grouping of snakes, all slithering over each other and entwining their bodies deeper into the hole. But there were so many of them that they kept climbing out of the hole they so desperately were trying to get into to.
She watched them, fascinated.
'I know exactly what you mean! It doesn't help that we're freezing to death because we can't find better shelter. And now we have to deal with this child running back and forth looking for something day in and day out! A human child no less! It makes me so angry I could just...'
-I sowwy. Me won't run past here no more. I was just looking for dada.- She started tearing up at the thought of someone being mad at her.
A harmony of hisses rose up out of the hole in the ground as they started slithering out and surrounding her. The little girl got scared, thinking she had made them even more angry and whimpered.
'No way! A ssspeaker! It can't be!'
'There hasn't been one in such a long time!'
'I wonder where she learned...'
'QUIET!!'
All hissing and other sounds in the area stopped. Even the little girl stopped whimpering and stared at the glorious white snake with wide eyes. 'Uh oh' she thought to herself as she tried backing up a little.
Didn't work.
The other snakes all slid back to allow room for the huge snake making her way through. The little girl shivered and tried not to show her fear on her face. Her father had always taught her never to show her fear in the face of others. It could let them know that you were indeed scared and they might use that to their advantage.
'Child can you hear me?'
She nodded.
'And you understand us?'
Another nod, more forceful this time.
'Well I haven't seen this for a very long time. I'd say at least 4 or 5 years since the last two speakers just vanished. Tell me child is one of your parents a speaker?'
The little girl whimpered again. Hey she was only 3.
-Me dunno! I sowwy. I leave. I not be here anyway.-
Then she turned to run but was stopped with what the snake said, or hissed next.
'You know young child that we did not mean what we said. We were merely expressing our hatred for your running past here every single day. Not you yourself. No need to be so scared around us.'
She turned around and stomped her foot. She was not scared! "I am not scared!"
The white snake seemed to smile at that as her tongue came out and tasted the air in front of her. 'Of course young child. What was I thinking? You couldn't possibly be scared. Now I think you were looking for your father am I correct?'
She nodded.
'Well then you should look a little more to the south. Just a couple of skips and he should be there if I remember correctly. Now the question is...will you come back and visit us out here in these woods?'
She remembered that she was supposed to be leaving soon. Her father had told her that it was beginning to get dangerous around here so they had to leave. So she told them that. -Dada and me leave soon but me never forget you!! I member you forever k?- She nodded happily as if forgetting what they were saying just a few moments earlier.
The other snakes came back at that point and started hissing all at once.
Again.
'But we just met a speaker and she has to leave already? That's not fair!'
'Why can't she stay?!'
'I hope she's not leaving.. I like her.'
Everything stopped once again after that last statement. All heads turned to see a little tiny snake that couldn't be more than 6 inches long. He was all black with 2 little dark green stripes down his body. The white snake who was massive in size might I add again turned her head and her forked tongue came back out her mouth. 'You wish she wasn't leaving because you like her Sahale?'
'Yes. Is that bad?'
'Not at all. Do you wish to go with her when she leaves?'
The girl got excited and nodded her head so fast it looked like it was gonna fall off.
"Miley!! Miley where are you!! We have to leave now!!"
All the snakes looked towards the sound of the voice then back to the little girl.
'Well? Do you want him Miley?' the white snake asked her.
Miley nodded and scooped up the tiny snake. He slithered all the way up to her neck where he curled around it and settled down. She smiled and patted him on his head.
"Kimimela Miles Potter!! Come here this instant!"
Miley giggled and waved her goodbyes while she ran to her father's voice.
The white snake was shocked and would have fainted...if snakes even do that. She hissed quietly and slithered back into the hole as she felt the chill creep up on her. Interesting indeed. That Harry Potter would have a daughter. She would have to inform her baby of this soon. But not right now. She was tired and sleepy and way overdue for a relaxation period.
Tom could do alright by himself for once.
