Harry's POV
I woke as soon as the sun started rising used to waking at dawn when I was hunting Horcruxs. I climbed out of bed and crept across the room to the bathroom gathering my clothes on the way. I showered and quickly dressed in faded grey jeans and a white t-shirt with shit happens scrawled across the chest in black letters. I pulled my school robes on over the top god I fucking hate wearing robes and pulled on my converses I tried taming my hair but gave up.
I wandered back into the dorm room and packed my school bag for the day. I glance at my bed and see Sal still curled up at the bottom of my bed asleep. I smirk when I remember Sev's and Regulus's reactions to Sal
*Flashback*
Me and Regulus was trying to cheer Sev up after the encounter with Lily when five 6th years all stormed into the common room covered head to toe in what looked like chicken feathers. The other Slytherins In the common room looked up then looked away with long suffering sighs, like this was a regular occurrence. The five 6th years spotted Regulus and stormed over to us
"Look what your brother and his friends did to us you little shit!" the boy nearest to us snapped from the way he resembles a troll I'm guessing this is Flints father.
I narrow my eyes when the 5 boys pull their wands out "maybe we should do the same to you or worse. They might stop if his little brother is getting hurt because of it!" one of them snarls.
We now have the attention of the whole common room with a snarl I get to my feet and stand protectively in front of Regulus. Not able to stand the fearful look in his eyes and him being blamed for his brother's pranks
"Get out of the way you filthy mudblood!" Flint snarls
"Ouch that's sure to leave a mark!" I growl sarcastically "and I thought Slytherins stuck together?" I snarl
"We do but he's not a proper Slytherin with a brother in Gryffindor" one of the boys spat
"Now move mudblood!" Flint commands reaching out to grab my arm and pull me away.
Simultaneously Sal rises up fangs bared at the arm and I dropped the glamour's hiding Sal from view. The 5 boys cry out in shock and quickly back away.
"Let me take a chunk out of him Harry I don't like him" Sal hisses
"I wouldn't if I was you. You don't know where he's been and with all the inbreeding he could have all kinds of diseases" I hiss back smirking.
Whispers move through the common room "you can speak parseltongue?" a prefect asks I move my gaze to answer fuck it's a 17 year old Lucius Malfoy man this is weird
I hide my surprise behind a smirk "yep" I reply
I calmly stride over to a low table and leap upon it addressing the crowd "a so called mudblood possess Salazar Slytherins most prized gift. So unless any of you want to feel Sal's fangs in your flesh I suggest you don't hurt or upset any of my friends. Which so far are Severus Snape and Regulus Black" I call a definite hiss and promise in my tone.
I jump down off the table and move through the crowd towards Sev and Regulus. I notice with slight surprise how the Slytherins now make way for me. Different expressions on their faces ranging from respect, awe and lust to fear and cold calculation. I quickly commit these people to memory knowing I need to keep an eye on them to prevent myself from being used in some form or another.
I reach Sev and Regulus and ask "can we go to the dorm room I'll answer questions there" Regulus and Sev both nod and we quickly make our way to the dorm room.
Luckily it's only Regulus and Sev in this room and now me; I flop down on my bed and glance at the other two sitting on Sev's bed.
"Right explain how the hell do you have this gift. When loads of purebloods have been trying to acquire this gift for centuries?" Regulus demands
"Ok but first" I quickly put up secrecy wards preventing eavesdroppers "I've always had this gift I suppose but I didn't discover until I was 10 when I accidently released a Boa constrictor on my cousin at the zoo" I reply
I can't really mention Voldemort or being Slytherins heir since I'm supposed to be a muggleborn and only a pureblood or halfblood could inherit the title.
Sev pulled me out of my thoughts when he started laughing "you set a Boa constrictor on your cousin" he gasps.
Regulus shakes his head at that "Merlin you have a dark sense of humor" he mutters then fixes me with a piercing stare "how and why?" he asks
"Well why because my cousin listens to every single thing my aunt and uncle say and they absolutely hate magic. So they encouraged my cousin to beat me up since they couldn't do it themselves without having the authorities after them." I say grimly
"But why?" Regulus burst out
I notice Sev had a haunted look on his face. He sees me looking and I smile understandingly at him and get a small smile in return.
"Because my aunt and uncle are muggles and they fucking hate magic" I reply
"Oh" Regulus whispers staring at me anxiously "are you ok?" he asks softly
I smile at that surprised how much Regulus cares once the mask is dropped. Sirius never mentioned how nice his brother is but maybe he never saw it. Right another thing on my list unite the Black brothers.
"I'm fine I'm of age now so I'm never going back there. Thank god we come of age a year sooner I'm going to get my own place in the summer. Maybe a flat in Diagon alley or a small cottage in Hogsmead" I say thoughtfully.
I see Sev's hopeful expression in his eyes and grin at them both "ofcourse you're both going to have to come stay in the summer to prevent me going mad with boredom"
"You mean madder" Sev teases
"Oy cheeky bastard I'll have you know I'm mostly sane" I argue
"Mostly?" Sev snickers
"More sane than you!" I shot back and Regulus laughs at that and Sev mock glares then sobers
"So how did you set a snake on your cousin" Sev asks hesitantly
I sigh "it was accidental magic I was having a lovely conversation with the snake about how it's never been to Brazil. Then my cousin comes waddles up to me cause he's really fat like the size of a baby whale I'm sorta surprised I didn't hear him" I muse
Sev and Regulus snort with laughter at that "anyway he waddles up to me and punches me. Surprising me and causing me to fall to the floor, next thing I know the glass in front of the cage has vanished and the snake is making a bid for freedom" I finish
Regulus whistles at that "that is some powerful accidental magic" he says smiling at me
I smile back then get an innocent look on my face Sev and Regulus flash me a nervous look "so who wants to hold Sal" I ask grinning wickedly at them.
*Flashback ends*
A thump pulls me out of my memories and I wake Sev up with my laughing. He looks up a glare on his face until he sees Regulus sprawled on the floor and annoyed look on his face.
"Did Reg fall out of bed again?" Sev asks grinning.
I nod too breathless from laughing too hard to talk
"Oh shut up!" Regulus calls from the floor causing me and Sev to start laughing.
