Harry smiled the small clearing with the stream just where he remembered it. He set the bag down by the side of the stream and started gathering up soft leaves to make into a mattress for the night setting one blanket on the top and putting the pillow on it before fixing the other blanket on top like a proper bed. Proud of his self he dug out the clothes his Aunt had given him for tomorrow and set them up into a nest for his egg right next to his pillow gently setting the plain little thing inside it.

Humming to his self he pulled out the little box with his food in opening it up grinning, inside was a chicken sandwich, a small thermos that when he unscrewed it showed it had milk inside, A banana and in another compartment a small tub of cornflakes a little spoon and a note to save some milk for his breakfast. Pleased with his bounty he set aside the milk using the thermos cup to get a drink of water from the stream sighing happily.

He froze at the sound of a crack. He looked around wildly half expecting Dudley and his gang to be there trying to gang up on him, or a mad man to take him away. He frowned confused not seeing anything around.

"Weird…." He hummed before hearing a second crack and small but confident Chirp. He gasped turning to his little egg eye's wide seeing a greeny-yellow beak tipped with red poking out a tiny hole of the egg. The beak opened letting out another chirp before withdrawing tiny little thuds telling Harry that it was working on braking out. He hurriedly picked it up as the egg cracked more and more the nervous boy pulling away the chips of egg that came off but to scared that he would hurt the little creature to do much else for it.

The creature kept chirping the sound a constant reassurance to Harry the sound almost like a chorus of 'I'm Ok! Don't worry, I'm ok!' it's beak poking through the egg at the other side cracks linking up the two holes, with a final chirp it lifted the top the shell falling away allowing the two to finally meet black eyes gazing into green.
"Hey little guy…" Harry smiled, the creature gave a tiny indigent squawk.

"I'm a girl!" Harry's eyes widened the bird trying to puff up her feathers though they where still soaked in liquid.

"D-did you just talk?"

"No I did a loop-de-loop." The creature clicked her beak "Cors I talked!"

"…..A talking bird….i hatched a talking bird…." The creature huffed.

"Who you calling a bird?" She pecked at the shell pulling it apart and slivering out, she was a rather pretty thing her head covering in black feathers that shimmered purple under the light with a yellow strip going from her eyes down to her belly and a tiny little crest of rainbow feathers on her head. The feathers went a fair way down her body before shifting into glittering black scales over her serpentine body.

"….What are you?" Harry asked eye's wide, the creature laughed the sound a cross between a hiss and chirp.

"I'm a Ashevor." She giggled the tiny bird-snake nuzzling his hand. "And your my Magi."

"Magi?" Harry frowned letting her do so pulling out a rag and gently wiping the egg fluid off her body. The Ashevor cooing happily.

"Yes a Magi, a magically in tuned human who has a deep connection to life. its how you found the stream of life." Harry blinked looking back at the stream. "All magical creatures by choice or to save their child if they sense it will die shortly after birth cast their child to stream letting it transform them into an egg to slumber until a magi pulls them from the waters and cares for them ensuring they will live." Harry blinked.

"All of them?"

"Yup, all Magical creatures do it, though some like us Ashevor give all our eggs to the stream as we're too physically weak to live without a Magi after the Wizards destroyed almost all our natural habitat."

"Wizards?" she chuckled slivering up his arm and coiling on his shoulder.

"Wizards and witches are those who can use magic normally with a focai but others can use it without help." Harry nodded slowly the Ashevor flicking out a forked tongue "Hum, you smell like a wizard." Harry blinked surprised.

"How do you know all this? You just hatched!" She gave another laugh.

"The stream is alive, it teaches the slumbering one's who ride it's currents much, and teaches us Familiars those destined to be the first companion of Magi like you are taught even more." She nuzzled him burring softly.

"Your…My Familiar?" She nodded Harry sighing rubbing his forehead started to get a headache. "I don't….I have no clue what to do." She laughed a little.

"Don't worry, we can save actually doing things till tomorrow, it's probably closed by now anyway…" She hummed tapping the chin of her beak making him wonder what she was on about. "…Anyway we have more important stuff to get to. I need a name!" She chirped Harry blinking.

"Uhrm…..A name…" He frowned trying to think of a name for her remembering that his mother was called Lilly and his Aunt Petunia. "…Primrose, or Prim for short." She mulled it over before she seemed to smile.

"Like it!" She cooed nuzzling his cheek "Now then you eat up, we'll be busy tomorrow." With that she slivered off his shoulder the tiny bird/snake pecking a little at the ground catching little ants attracted by Harry's meal to eat. Harry smiling a little petting her soft feathers before pulling out his sandwich and finally tucking in laying back on his bed looking up at the darkening sky wondering what he'd gotten his self into slipping to sleep with his new friend curled up at his side.

Hey :3 Another chapter, not quite a week after the last but as it was a week after Magi was published I thought I'd update :3

Oh and clarification for anyone who might be confused about Primrose, yes she is a serpent bird hybreed, but she DOES NOT have Wings, she is incapable of flight. She has a beak and feathers and can chirp and sing like a bird. But apart from slivering up trees she'd grounded.
