Chapter 2

"How?" I asked.

"Godric helped us take and pass the Aparate test early." Luna smiled then frowned slightly. "I came because we need you help. The others are watching us on a viewing spell. So say hi."

"Hello others." I giggled. "Help?"

"Yes we have a snake that we need but it wont listen to Harry and Salazar." Luna stated, "You are the only other Parseltongue that I know. Will you help?"

I was nervous, I hadn't told anyone about my gift for fear but Luna and Salazar needed my help. I took a deep breath and held out my hand, she giggled, took it and we were gone. When I opened my eyes, we were standing in a graveyard before a grave that read Tom Riddle. I looked to her. "I remember cleaning a plaque for Tom Marvolo Riddle, same preson?"

"Nope, his muggle father." Luna spoke darkly. "He is really the dark lord."

I laughed softly, "Voldemort is half muggle! Stupid prat." I shake my head. "Snake?"

"In the house but so is voldemort and Peter Pettigrew." She answered.

I nodded but frose, "Pettigew... But I thought... Oh my, Harry was right, I knew it."

I took a deep breath walked closer to the house and focused as I listened. I heard walked and whispering but then I heard her. Evil master turned me into dark magic. Should have left him now I must die but how. He cursed me to never follow Potter or my true master Salazar. Oh what will I do.

I gasped and held up a hand to Luna, I took a deep breath and spoke to the snake. "I can help you sweet snake, I am a friend of Salazar. Will you let me?" The snake stopped moving before moving closer to me, when she came into view, I gasped at her beauty. "You are beauitful, I am sorry that evil man did this to you."

The snake moved to me as I knelt to her, she lifted herself to looked me in the eye. You hear me speaker, I can listen to you without my evil master knowing. To save me, I must die. Can you do that?

I looked to Luna, "She needs me to kill her."

Luna nodded. "Yes. Godric?"

A sword appeared beside me, I gasped before turning to the snake. "May I know your name, Beauty?"

Nagini, speaker. The snake answered, I nodded and gripped the sword. As I did the wind picked up, the sword and I glowed, I gasped. The snake bowed. Speaker, you are the heir of Gyffindor. You must hurry, he comes for me. Kill me quick and go to the Goblins. Call Ragnuk.

"Thank you Nagini. You are truely amazing. I set you free." I swung to sword and cut her head off. A black cloud burst out of her and exploded sending me to my back and Luna into a gravestone. I heard a shout and saw a man running toward us, I grabbed Luna. "RAGNUK!" A goblin appeared staring at me and the sword. "Escape now, explain later."

I pointed to the man shooting hexes at us, the goblin grabbed me and we were gone. As the world stopped spinning, I realised Luna and I were in Gringotts. I looked up at the shooked Goblins. The one who came to me growled, "How did you call me?"

"I don't know. I grabbed the sword, we lit up and the snake I was talking to told me that I was the heir of Gryffindor and to come to Ragnuk. Are you Ragnuk?" I explained as I knelt over Luna, checking her for cuts.

A goblin pushed me out of the way, "I will help Luna, Heir of Gryffindor. She is a friend here. Answer Ragnuk's questions."

I nodded to him and turned to the goblin again. "I am sorry to distrub you, Master Ragnuk." The Goblins looked shocked, I bowed slightly. "Thank you for coming to our aid. I do not know how I called you. Luna came to me this night, asking for a favor that I could help with. I speak Parseltongue even through I am a muggleborn or I atleast I think I am but I didn't know the Gryffindor line past through muggles. Maybe you can help me understand. Godric sent his sword to help me kill the snake, who asked me to kill her. When I picked it up the wind blew around me, the sword and me started to glow. The snake told me to hurry, that I was the heir of Gryffindor and that I needed to come to you. I killed her, a black cloud appeared from her and exploded. Luna hit a gravestone and was knocked out. I saw the man come towards us, I can't aparate yet so I called your name and you came. That is all I know."

"Darvaro take Luna to the healing room. Heir of Gryffindor, come with me and we shall figure everything out." Ragnuk turned and began to walk, I jumped up and followed him behind the counter to an office. Once inside he motioned me to sit, I did and waited as he went to grabbed a bowl and a dagger. "I need you hand, Heir of Gryffindor." A placed it over the bowl, he took the dagger, pierced the skin and turned it over to bleed into the bowl. "This will show us who your parents are, Miss."

"Ashley, please call me Ashley." I whispered. "If my parents aren't who I live with, what will happed?"

"We will contact your parents, let them now you are here then we will find who placed you with the muggles you live with. Do not worry Ashley, wee will figure everythi..." He voice cut off as the bowl glowed bright white and two people appeared above it. He gasped, "Impossible."
