Thanks for the reviews :)

Lady Vonne, I read your one shots but my computer wouldn't let me write a review, don't know why, they're quite well written though :)
Enko, I'm afraid I don't know how to make him more neutral, this is my first EVER try at writing. He's also only 7 so he's quite impressionable.

Going to try and make the chapters a little longer.

Harry Potter landed in the shadow of a tree, disorientated from the travel, that hadn't happened before. Last time he had hopped through shadows he had been fine, found himself on top of roofs or even back in his cupboard. But did he really want to go back to the Dursley's? Would they even take him back?

Hell.. Who was he kidding, he asked for someone that could teach him magic and here he was, in the middle of a forest. There had to be someone here that could. Maybe he could eve...

Snap!

Harry's head whirled around so fast that he thought he may have given himself whiplash, someone had just broken a twig under their weight..
But there was nobody there. Just dense forest, it must have been playing tricks on him.. There was the sound of a bush rustling..

This turned out to be all too much for the young six year old to bear as he turned on his foot and fled, self-preservance came over his bravery any day! The tree's became a blur as he sped past them as fast as his feet could carry him, that was pretty fast for someone who had been chased for his entire life. Harry thought himself quite lucky for not running straight into any trees, too busy running to even notice the forest gradually growing darker around him, green leaves slowly giving way to sickly dying ones.

The ground was getting harder around this area, everything seemed.. Harry tripped on a branch and flew into a small clearing, a few small holes littered the floor, Harry had only just noticed the shape of the forest around him, everything seemed dead.. The same as he would be if he stayed here much longer.

He started to back away from the clearing until his back came into contact with a tree, he was about to turn around and run until a great snake hung from a branch lowered it's head to face Harry's at it started to hiss violently.

"Humanss, on the kingss land!"

"Hello?" Harry awnsered back questioningly, only to recoil as a series of hisses left his mouth instead of his usual English, was he speaking to the snake? How exactly could he know another language without knowing it? It wasn't possible, he had probably just insulted the snake in the worst way possible which may result in his death..

He got ready to flee and was about to bolt until the snake spoke back..

"Sspeaker? I musst tell the king.. Wait here tiny human." Now that was creepy, speaking to snakes felt a little weird, but Harry was glad that he could, he had never before.. but they seemed a lot nicer than the Dursley's ever were.. Maybe he could make friends here or even learn magic from the snakes! That seemed to be all that was around here anyway..

But Harry did as he was told and waited by the dying tree, the forest was out of the way, he'd give it that. The perfect hiding place, he doubted many people had the courage to come looking in here anyway, it was quite a desolate land anyway..

He was just about to move to take a look around until an eight foot python with glowing red eyes slithered out of one of the bigger holes. The eyes reminded him of his own.. a little, his forehead started to prickle a little bit but apart from that nothing unusual happened, the snakes eyes seemed to widen a little, it was quite hard to notice but the slits widened slightly for a few seconds before returning to their slitted red state.

"Harry Potter..." The snake ground out slowly, it seemed as if it held some resentment towards him, as if there was a past grudge that had yet to have been settled, but as Harry always said; Forgive and Forget. Everyone deserved a second chance, but no more past that.

Harry knew he would never forgive the Dursley's for what they did, they had their second chances, third, fourth and on.. but they never stopped to ask him if he needed help with chores that should have been Dudley's, if he ever needed something to eat, drink or even if he needed medical attention.. of course he needed medical attention, he had the scars to prove it.

"Hello!" Hissed out Harry happily, he might even make his first friend here, lots of people had wanted to be his friend in his primary school, but Dudley had always scared them off, especially towards the end of the year when people started to get... quite friendly, especially the girls. He never really understood why, but he always gave them a sad smile and told them not to get caught around him or Dudley would get them.

"You've had a childhood that ressembless my own.. Do you want to hurt them back..?" The snake questioned softly, it shouldn't have been possible for it to feel compassion for another being, especially considering who the 'snake' was.. But he felt a connection with this boy, as if part of his soul...

That's it! He, the king of the serpents.. had made a mistake.

He had made a horcrux that night, the reason the curse had failed was because of the ritual he had put on himself, if he was to ever try to destroy one of his own horcrux's whatever he shot at it would be relflected back at him.. He couldn't harm this boy unless he shared his blood...

But maybe he wouldn't have to.

"Hurt?" It was such a strong word, along with hate.. but if all people were like Vernon and Petunia no child should have to go through what he did..

"Yess Harry... Do you want them to feel how you did? Do you want to make them ssuffer?" Prodded the snake.
They didn't just harm you Harry.. they hit other children your age for not being friends with Dudley..." The snake continued, still reading the boy's mind, if seemed as if he was a natrual legillimens as he was picking up on the thoughts of others around him, perhaps even a shadow mage if he could warp through the shadows.. he would be a powerhouse when he was older.
But as of right now he was a gullible six year old boy and seven year olds were rather.. impressionable.. he would be able to shape him into an heir if he played his cards right. He would have to be.. fair.. By the time he returned to his body the boy would be stronger than his weaker death eaters.. Ready to take his place at the Dark Lords side, as his right hand man.. his heir.

He wasn't the Heir of Slytherin for no reason, though sometimes he thought that title should have been Dumbledore's to bear, the manipulative fool, he usually meant well but his schemes for popularity usually ended up hurting all those involved. He had wanted to give the boy a childhood,
instead he had given him nothing but pain and suffering.. A sentence on par with six years in Azkaban.

Looking up with determination, Harry stared straight into the eyes of the snake. He was only six.. he could deal with them hitting him, he was used to it, but they had hit other children? The other parents had seemed to care for their children when they had come and got them from his primary school.. maybe not all people were evil, but the Dursley's certainly the worst of the worst..

They always said he was a waste of space, a useless freak. A waste of breath so they had tried to beat the life out of him..

If the snake would, he was going to pay them back in earnest..

"Yess." Harry awnsered simply, seeing the snakes eyes light up.

"Excellent Harry... I will teach you magic.. My name iss Tom Marvolo Riddle.. otherwise known as Lord Voldemort.. but you can call me My lord..or Father." smiled Voldemort..

Smiles looked strange on snakes.
