AN: I got the idea for this fic from cooldamien's The Rebirth of the Viper Order. He has given me permission to write a fic like his. Therefore, I don't own the idea or Harry Potter. I also don't own the stuff from Dungeons and Dragons I'm using for this fic. Now let's get on with the fic.
"Stupid freaks think they have the right to boss around perfectly ordinary citizens like us. The utter nerve of them, now listen boy, those freaks might have tried to threaten us, but I won't stand for it! When we get home you are going back into the cupboard and stay in there except for one hour each day." Harry's uncle said on the way back to Private Drive.
Harry swallowed nervously. He had never seen his uncle so angry. This was not going to be a fun summer.
(Five weeks later)
"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1. Happy Bir…ARGH!" Harry cried out in pain as his body morphed and shifted. The cupboard burst open as he changed. Somehow, the Dursleys weren't woken up by his screaming. The first thing that Harry noticed was that he had six heads, each with a barley noticeable lightning bolt scar on each head. The next was that they were all serpent heads. After that, he saw the rest of his body which was basically like a large snake with two human-like arms. At that moment an owl flew in threw the window and dropped a letter on the ground at the base of his tail. Harry picked up the letter and opened it.
Dear Harry,
If you are reading this then we have failed and Voldemort killed your mother and I. If I am right then you have just gone through a massive change into a six-headed snake like creature. I doubt that anyone has told you this but the Potter line is made up of half-human half-snake creatures called yuan-ti. This has always given us the gift of Parsletounge which we have hidden well. The only people who knew were your mother, Sirius, and me. When you were born, we went through a ritual to turn you from a yuan-ti halfblood, to a yuan-ti anathema and locked your yuan-ti side until your sixteenth birthday. Anathemas are the Merlins of the yuan-ti race. There is also one other line of yuan-ti left that we have lost track of. One last thing Harry, under no circumstance trust Dumbledore. Yuan-ti have the innate ability to tell if a person is trustworthy.
Good-bye my son
Your father Prongs
If Harry could he would be crying right now. Then something fell out of the envelope and onto the floor. Harry looked down with one of his heads and saw an amulet with a note attached to it. Harry bent down and picked it up. The note read:
Dear Harry,
This amulet will turn you back into a human. Just tap it with your wand to go from yuan-ti to human and vise-versa.
Love,
Your mother
Once again, Harry came close to crying. He put the amulet on (with some difficulty because of his six heads) and slithered over to the cupboard and took out his wand and tapped the amulet. Harry then realized that the usual birthday owls had arrived along with a few extra. Harry shuffled through the extra letters to see two from the Ministry, one from Tonks, one from Remus, one from Gringotts, and another from Neville. Harry decided to open the Ministry ones first.

The next read:
Dear Mr. Potter,
Due to your courageous efforts at the Departments of Mysteries, the Ministry of Magic is happy to give you a license to use magic freely within reason. This also includes using the Unforgiveables for defense.
Minister of Magic,
Cornielius Fudge
Harry just grinned. He could now pay back the Dursleys for all their treatment of him. But in the morning, for now he wanted to read the rest of his letters. The ones from Tonks and Remus basically said that they would stand by him no matter what. They also warned him that Ron and the Weasly parents were acting suspiciously and to be wary around them. The letter from Neville was thanking him for the help the previous year. The Gringotts one informed him of Sirius' will in two days.
AN: please review to let me know what you think. I got the Yuan-Ti Anathema from the Dungeons and Dragons book Fiend Folio. As for the reason I didn't describe the amulet, I was hoping to get suggestions on what the amulet would look like. So let me know what you would like the amulet to look like.
