Yo! Don't expect all chapters to be out this quickly. I had some time to kill before having to wash the dishes, so I was able to write and post this, but that's just luck. Anyway, thank you to all readers so far!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of its characters...

This was one thing Harry loved about Hermione. Others saw her as very close minded and an absolute stickler for the rules, but they didn't know that the bushy haired witch could be shockingly vindictive. She understood that Harry felt as if he had been betrayed, and if he wanted to go around talking in Parseltongue as revenge, well, who was she to stop him?

Besides, seeing him pissed off was better than seeing him brooding, she told herself...

Even as breakfast came to an end and the fourth years began heading to class, unless he was speaking to Hermione, Harry didn't say a word in English to any of his classmates.

They sat there in Transfiguration, McGonagall lecturing them as they took notes, before having them practice the spell she had been telling them about. Not in the best of moods, Harry was having a hard time concentrating, and the professor wasn't particularly pleased to see that.

"Mr Potter! Enough daydreaming!"

Harry glanced up at her from beneath his fringe, but didn't say a word, waiting.

"I expect you to pay attention," the woman continued. "This spell is vital for your future."

Now that caught Harry's attention. "Why?" he questioned.

McGonagall gasped, her eyes going wide. She wasn't the only one. The entire room had fallen silent in their shock.

"Mr Potter!"

"Yes, Professor? Please do explain to me how turning a stone into a goblet is beneficial to my future. Will it help me survive this bloody tournament? Will it save my life from Voldemort? No? Hmm, I didn't think so." Harry waved his wand over the stone before him, intoned the spell clearly, and watched as it reshaped itself into a small goblet. "There you are, ma'am. Spell completed. Next time Voldemort corners me, I'll be sure to start transfiguring stones into goblets so I can throw them at his face. I'm sure that will solve everything!"

The bell rang. No one but Harry and Hermione reacted to it, packing their belongings and leaving the classroom. Once they had made it down the corridor, Hermione, curious, asked him what he had been saying, and Harry translated.

The girl huffed a little, but found she couldn't exactly disagree with her friend's words. Professor McGonagall should have said that the spell was vital for Harry's education, rather than his future. Because Harry's future was You-Know-Who, not the same thing as the rest of them...


Over the next few days, Harry didn't stop speaking in Parseltounge. Not even in class. It didn't matter who the professor was, Harry did it anyway, up until only Professors Moody and Snape were the only ones to have not experienced it, since Harry hadn't had their classes yet.

Though Hermione was the first person he had been speaking in English with, she wasn't the only one, having begun doing the same with Fred and George, who were pretty pissed off at the younger brother.

They liked sitting on either side of the emerald eyed teen in the common room, hissing away cheerfully, pretending they were having a conversation with him in Parseltongue, even though they weren't actually saying any words at all, and Harry just went off talking nonsense, or gossiping, since no one could understand what he was saying.

Word of what had been happening had already spread through the castle, and while the Hogwarts students had been horrified, the Beauxbatons students had merely been shocked, while the Durmstrange students had suddenly grown quite polite around Harry. That certainly amused the teen.

Some people had approached him cautiously, asking him to stop, but he just stared at them in silence until they walked away. If they didn't, and stayed resolute, he broke into Parseltongue again, enjoying watching them squirm.

Harry had hardly begun, and he was already having so much fun! To quote Snape, 'Ah, revenge was sweet.'

And that's it for now. I've started on the next chapter, but I can't say when it'll be done. You may get another update tomorrow, and you may not. It's hard to say. Anyway, looking forward to reviews! Laterz!
