Harry Potter and the Serpent's Call

by SonofLuffy

A refit of the classic series, Harry Potter, in which coincidence takes favor over fate. Harry has undergone a series of events in his youth that will shape his nature and actions slightly differently than what fate had in store for him. Will he stay the course? Will he fight his destiny? Or will Harry accept his role willingly? Rated M for later chapters.

Chapter Three: The Professor of Two Hearts.

The next day, sometime after mid-day, there came a knock on the door. In an unusual turn, Petunia answered the door, instead of screaming at Harry to do so. After hearing two men's voices, Harry entered the lounge, to see Petunia talking with the easterner from before, and a swarthy looking, pale faced man with medium length hair, dressed in all black. Apart, each man was disturbing in his own way, but together, they made quite a macabre pair, both looking as if on death's very doorstep.

Petunia looked up, and beckoned him over, "Harry, come sit down. These gentlemen have something to say to you."

Harry sat by Petunia, more intimidated than ever. The man he did not recognize spoke first. "Hello, Harry. This is Professor Jin, and I am Professor Snape, from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But of course you already know about Hogwarts."

Harry's eyes widened, but he collected himself to answer the question, "Sorry, Sir, no I have not."

Jin produced a small watch from his coat pocket, and sighed, "Oh, professor, would you look at the time? Can you take care of Mr. Potter? I have to meet Rubeus shortly," he produced a key, "can you see to Gringotts without me? I will procure the tickets and meet you at the station." Severus nodded, as Jin bowed and was shown out by Petunia.

With Petunia still in the hall, Severus turned back to Harry, "Did your aunt and uncle not teach you of your mother's tremendous power?" Harry shook his head in the negative, to which Severus continued, "My, my. We have much work to do then. Harry, you are a wizard."

Harry's face froze as his eyes bolted open. "I am a what?"

Snape nodded, producing his wand. With few shakes and swishes of it, he had all of the Dursely's furniture dancing about. Amazed and amused, Harry could not restrain himself and he bolts up "You can teach me to do this!?"

Snape got an odd look in his eye, as if he saw a most-hated ghost, "Restrain yourself! You will learn this, and much more. But you must be calm and studious, like your mother was."
