Chapter 1-Trip to Diagon Alley
"Move!" Draco hissed at a kid about 11 yrs old, that was in our way. We were in Flourish and Blotts trying to get our books for the start of term when it was packed. The kid scuttled off but there was still a massive crowd waiting for book signings from that idiot, Gilderoy Lockhart.
"Filthy, halfblood", Narcissa commented in distaste. I sneered as Lockhart scampered out in lilac robes that made him look extremely feminine and disgusting. I covered my ears as his little fan club screamed. After the signing started, people were shoving each other and yelling. Somehow, Lockhart had spotted Potter and dragged him into the spotlight.
Poor lad, I thought as Lockhart dumped a load of his crappy unrealistic story books in the boy's hands.
Wait! Did I just pity POTTER?
While I was deliberating, a crazy fan pushed me and I landed right in front of Lockhart.
Shit.
"Now, now. I know you're all eager for my signings but there's no need to push a younger witch around" he chided as I got up.
"Here you go. My favourite one out of the lot. It's signed and has my autograph inside. You can have it for free", he said flashing me a smile and a wink.
I walked off, disgust clearly written on my face.
"There you are! You okay?" Draco asked, slightly worried, taking my hand.
"Don't worry, Drake. I'm okay", I said walking towards the bookcase where the books we need are.
"Granger!" I hissed coldly as we passed her, Potter and the Weasleys. She looked up.
"Catch!" And I threw Lockhart's book to her as she swiftly catches it.
"You can keep that Lockhart crap! He makes me sick", I spat as Draco snickered at Hermione, who was blushing since she has a crush on that muppet.
After buying our books, we left the chaos filled bookshop and headed to Magical Menagerie. I walked past the cages, eyes skimming briefly over the animals until I halted in front of a blue and lilac coloured snake. I gazed at it fondly.
You're quite pretty, aren't you? I hissed in Parseltounge. The snake focused its beady eyes on me.
You can understand and talk like me? He hissed back softly.
Yeah, I'm a Parseltounge. What's your name?
I haven't got one. My familiar will name me. And I think it's you.
I grinned.
Nice. Well, I'm Silvia. I go to Hogwarts. If I buy you, then you'll have to come with me to school. Is that okay?
Ofcourse. What are you going to name me?
Hmm… How about Salazar? He's my ancestor and founder of my school house.
That name sounds nice, so yes.
Okay, I'm going to get the shop keeper now.
The snake nodded and watched me go.
"Were you talking to it?" Draco asked, unsurprised. He found out I was a Parseltounge last year, when I saved him from a snake in his back garden.
"Yeah. He's my familiar so I'm gona buy him", I replied.
I told the shop keeper that I wanted Salazar and he was vaguely surprised.
"That thing hisses at anything coming near it" he explains. He opened the cage and I immediately stuck my hands in, earning a shocked look from the shop keeper and a smirk from Draco.
Salazar slithered up my arm as I lifted him. He coiled his body around my neck and nestled his head in my hair then rested it on my shoulder.
Perfect, he hissed contently. I smiled warmly at my familiar then turned to the shop keeper, who was still openly gaping.
"How much?" I asked formally, my coldness returning as I opened my pouch. He snapped out of it and uttered "60 galleons". I handed him the money and left with Draco, who was smirking the famous 'Malfoy smirk'.
"C'mon! Mother's waiting at Florean Fortescue's! You want a mint chocolate chip ice-cream don't you?" I laughed and nodded, then took his hand as we hurried off to meet Narcissa and get ice-cream.
That's it for now but watch out for updates! :D
