By: xxxmidnight-kitsunexxx

Harry stared at a large, dark purple snake. Apparently Dudley wanted a pet and his aunt and uncle were never one to dissapoint their "little boy". So there they were, in a pet shop looking for the perfect pet for Dudley. Harry pittied the poor animal soon to be chosen. They poor creature would merely be used as a toy then either be thrown away or left to die.

Dudley was running around the store looking at all the animals then stopped and looked towards Harry. Dudley strode ove to Him with a large evil grin on his round face. As soon as he was within reach of Harry he quickly shoved him to the floor and laughed loudly, making the shop owner glare at him. Dudley didn't even look ashamed, he just turned to look at the snake Harry was looking at earlier. Harry narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew what Dudley was going to do. He was going to ask Aunt Petunia if he could have the snake just because Harry took an interest in it. Then he would show it off to Harry if only to taunt him.

Dudley waved to his mother. Yup he totally called it.

"Mummy... I want this one." He said batting his lashes in attempt to look innocent. Harry wanted to gag it was disgusting. He was suprised however when the shop owner did a gagging noise from behind the counter. Harry smiled at the man. He was probably in his late forties or early fifties. His hair was geying and long. He pulled into a low pony tail that made the balding spot on his head seem wider than it was. Harry couldn't help but smile. The man caught it and reciprocated it.

"Of course dear, anything you want" Aunt Petunia said with a sickly sweet smile. She was so fake.

Aunt Petunia tured towards the owner. "Sir we'll take this one." The man looked up only to do a double take on what she was pointing at.

"Ma'am, I don't think that's a good idea" His voice was gruff and rasped. Probably from smoking.

"Nonsense my little Dudders said he wanted that snake." She tilted her chin up at the man trying to look important. Harry dicreetly rolled his eyes.

"Listen, that snake is extremely poisonous and had a short temper. I don't think it's a ideal pet for a child of his stature." the owner retorted his eyes narrowing at her obvious lack of respect or common sense.

"It's poisonous?" She asked, he nodded his head. "Then I assume it's illegal. If you don't want me telling the athorities you have a poisonous snake on display you will give me that snake!"

Harry winced slightly at the shrill tone of voice. The man paused and frowned. He got up from behind the counter and walked over keys in hand. Aunt Petunia looked pleased knowing she would get her way and Dudley was nearly jumpig in excitment at the thought of being able to rub something in Harry's face. It might even help with his popularity at the elementary school.

"You will regret this." The owner said. Opening the snikes cage. He let the snake slither out of the cage. He wasn't expecting it to make it's way to Harry. The owner was about to stop it when Petunia stuck out a hand.

"Let the snake bite the boy. He is a useless orphan that no one would miss" She said letting go of her perfect mother facade. Inwardly she was jumping for joy at the thought of getting rid of the little abomination. However the snake stoped a few inches away from the small boy and boyed it's head in submission.

*Greatingssssss masssssster* the snake hissed. Harry couldn't believe his ears. Snakes didn't talk, Right? Before he knew what he was doing he hissed back at the snake in a language he didn't know he knew

*why are you calling me masssssster* Harry asked and distantly heard Aunt Petunia's shriek of horror or Dudley calling him a freak.

*You ssssspeak our tounge, you are dark but you are not evil... therefore you are my masssster* The snake answered eager to please his new master. Harry pondered that for a minute.

*Will you lisssssten to me?* Harry asked.

*Yessssss* Harry smiled at the creature and reached out to stoke it's head. The snike nearly melted at the touch, but he did shiver in pride at the praise his great master gave.

*What issssss your name* The serpent looked up at Harry

*Nefertiti* Ah, so it was a girl snake. Harry smiled again before holding out his arm. Nefertiti happily coiled around it slithering up his body before resting her head on the crook of his neck.

"No!" Aunt Petunia's voce broke through his happy daze. "Absolutely not. I wiil not accept this. That snake is to come nowhere near our house"

The owner held back a snicker. "I don't beleive you have a choice in the matter, animals choose their masters and it seems that The snake..."

"Nefertiti" Harry corrected. "Her name is Nefertiti."

"Right... well it seems like Nefertiti has chosen this youngboy. I've had her here for quite some time andshe's never taken a shine to anyone like this."

Dudley growled. He did not like being out done by a freak like Harry.

"I bet the stupid thing isn't even poisonous or even dangerous. It's just a bi wussy." He yelled stomping toward where Harry stood with Nefertiti. Wrong move. The snake was instantly on gaurd, ready to kill anything or anyone who proved to be a threat to her master. Herbody tensed and coiled to lash out at any moment. Her mouth open to show her long translucent fangs dripping with hot venom as she hissed menacingly. Dudley squeeked and rushed away to hide behind his mother. Harry soothed the snake, hissing praise and comfort. Nefertiti visibly relaxed and nuzzled his neck affectionately.

"See what I mean" The owner said, a wide smile on his face making the corner of his eyes wrinkle.

"Fine!" Petunia huffed. "But it stays in your cupbaord, I don't want to see that thing slithering around the house."

Harry nodded in agreement.

"Now come Dudley let pick out aother animal for you and since that thing took your snake you caan hav two pets" She cooed pinching her sons' cheek.

The owner came up to Harry and watchedthe serpent relax an his small shoulders, it's tail swaying back and forth. It was amazing how someone so small could hold up the large snake without falling over.

"How old are you kid?" He asked.

"Nine" The man was shocked the boy was too small for a nmine year old. He glared at Petunia's back at the other side of the store. obviously it was her fault he was so small. The fat kid next to he pobably ate more than enough for the two of them.

"what's your name?"

"Harry"

"Well then harry, My name is Laurent i'm the owner of this shop... you can stop by any time. I'm sure theanimals would like to see you again." Harry smied a that. If he couldn't get along with other humans at least he could get along with animals
