Chapter 2
Disclaimer ~ I do not own Katekyo or Harry Potter
Harry was lucky for once. Which was a miracle in and of itself. None of the Dursleys were there when Harry arrived so he didn't have to sneak the lizard into his room.
"Alright little fella," Harry said softly. He sat the lizard on his desk and went to grab some bandages and ointment. "This might sting a bit but I promise it'll help," Harry kept his tone gentle and touches light. Soon the little lizard was bandaged and looking between Harry and Hedwig warily.
"Don't worry. Hedwig won't hurt you. She's really smart and acts like a mum so I'd be more afraid of her trying to mother you," Harry said chuckling lightly. As if to prove his point, Hedwig hooted and fluffed her feathers in a proud manor.
~Why is this human being nice?~ a small voice asked. Harry looked around in confusion. Then he laid eyes on the lizard.
~Oh you speak parseltongue? I thought it only worked on snakes.~ Harry hissed. He thought it was slightly funny that the lizard jumped but he felt bad for scaring the little guy.
~You're a Speaker?~ the lizard asked looking excited.
~Yes. My name is Harry. What's yours?~ Harry asked.
~I'm Leon~
~Nice to meet you Leon~ Harry said. ~As for your earlier question, I was being nice because you were hurt. I don't like animals being hurt so I try to help them whenever I can~ Harry explained.
~Can I stay with you? Even after my wounds heal?~ Leon's voice was so small and scared that Harry couldn't help but agree.
~You can stay as long as you want~ Harry said smiling. He gently patted Leon's head with a finger and the lizard nuzzled against it. Harry and Leon spent the next several hours chatting and getting to know each other. Any outsider would be confused to hear them talk, as it would just sound like hissing.
Later that night, after Harry had made dinner for the dursleys and snuck some food for Leon to eat, Harry wrote a letter that he sent with Hedwig that night.
Dear Hermione and/or Ron,
I have no idea if you are even receiving these letters or just ignoring me but I decided I would send them anyway. An update on my life? I now have a new pet lizard. His name is Leon. Do you think McGonagall will let me keep him when we return to school? Well, no matter what I'm not getting rid of him. He's such a cute little thing.
Sincerely,
Your mate, Harry.
P.S. Did you know Parseltongue works on lizards? Leon is a great conversationalist.
Chapter two is finished! As you could probably tell, things said in parseltongue will have ~ instead of " and will also be in italics.
I don't really have anything else to say to that so...yeah. Please continue to follow, favorite, and Review! Next chapter will be for Verde!
