Part 4
Harry Apparated into the fireplace at his house, so that whoever saw him will think he used Floo Powder. The Boa Constrictor around his neck was looking around, fascinated.
"What happened?" the snake asked in it's little snaky voice.
"We Apparated" Harry answered in Parsletounge. He found his bags near the fireplace, and he took them along with his new snake up to his room. Ron was waiting for him there.
"What was that thing you wanted to see at the Leaky Cauldron?" he asked.
"Oh, nothing. It was just a dark corner. Could you help me think of a name for this snake I bought?" Harry responded.
"Um… you know what, I don't really like snakes…." Ron continued talking, but Harry wasn't listening. He was thinking of a name for his pet snake. Suddenly he had an idea. He had taken a course for future Aurors in his 7th year in which he learned different languages, how to move stealthily, curses, and how to use physical weapons (i.e.: swords, daggers, bow & arrow, etc.) in case he was disarmed. Harry went through all the languages he learned. In Hebrew, the word for snake is "Nachash", so he decided to use that for his pet's name.
"…And I don't really like the fact that…" Ron continued.
"Ron, shut up for a second." Harry interrupted.
"…And…" Ron stopped in mid sentence.
"Thank you. I decided to call my snake Nachash. It means "snake" in Hebrew." Harry said.
"How do you know that?" Ron asked.
"I took an Auror's course in 7th year. I hope Hedwig won't mind." Harry turned to Nachash in Parsletounge. "Nachash,"
The snake looked up "are you talking to me?"
"Yes," Harry answered. "Your name now in Nachash. Tell me, do you have any siblings?"
"Umm… yes. She has a diamond pattern on her back, and her name is Naigini. She wanted to go out to see more of the country." 'How ironic' Harry thought.
Ron was hunched in a corner, trying not to be noticed.
"I thought you were afraid of spiders, Ron." Harry said confused.
"yeah, them too. I'm also scared of snakes. Weren't you listening before?"
"no. I developed that skill after seven years of History of Magic with Binns."

On the first of September Harry, Ron, Fred and George were up early, getting ready to go to Hogworts. Harry was already packed, having experience of eight years, and was waiting for everyone to come downstairs so they could leave. When everyone finally came, it was already 10:00, so they had to leave. They arrived at King's Cross at 10:30, so they had half an hour to get onto the platform. Harry crossed his fingers in hope that Dobby hadn't blocked the barrier again. Sirius just dropped them off, saying that he had to go somewhere.
"Sirius, before you go, could you please send me any weird news articles? I want to know about anything out of the ordinary." Harry said to a rather hurried Sirius.
"OK, sure. Whatever." Said Sirius distractedly. Harry raised an eyebrow, but said nothing. As Harry neared the barrier between platforms 9 and ten, Fred, Gorge and Ron were already going through. Harry walked towards the barrier slowly, fearing that he might collide with the barrier, instead of going through. Harry was right in front of the barrier. He closed his eyes and pushed the cart barring his trunk against the barrier. The cart didn't move. "oh, *CENSORED*" Harry thought. "if I ever get Dobby again… I TOLD him I knew."
One of the things Harry learned in the Aurors course was looking at all the sides of a problem to get the best answer. It was usually used to figure out who was a death eater. Harry's options now were to either Apparate to Hogsmead and walk up to the school, or send an owl to Hogworts. If he sent an owl, he'd get an answer saying he should Apparate. So Harry decided to Apparate. He walked towards a dark deserted corner. He took hold of Hedwig's cage and his trunk, and Apparated.
Harry found himself in Hogsmead. He charmed his trunk to be feather light, and let Hedwig out of her cage. Harry carried the trunk and the cage towards the castle.
Harry Apparated into the fireplace at his house, so that whoever saw him will think he used Floo Powder. The Boa Constrictor around his neck was looking around, fascinated.
