It was late, way past curfew, but alas one student was sneaking around. He walked into an unused class room and closed the door behind him... He looked at the disarray of potions and ingredients around the room... He knew no one knew about this because he'd cast an invisibility charm on the room... any other person would just find an empty classroom. He hurried over to the bubbling potion on the nearby table... he smiled.. The potion was perfect He just hoped it worked as well as he had heard.. He poured some into a vial and put a cork on it. He then poured the rest into a larger vial and corked that also. He walked over to the cabinet and placed it inside with the other many potions he'd brewed... He looked at the vial in his hand and smiled

"those gryffindorks wont know what hit them..." he whispered

'What isss that, boy?' hissed a voice

'who said that?'

'Oh ssso you can underssstand me... I'm down here, on the floor...'

'But you're a serpent, I can't talk to you... unless... I'm a Parseltounge....'

'Oh yesss indeed you are a Parssseltounge... asss isss my massster... you know him...'

'... Not really... who is he?'

'Lord Voldemort, my massster isss... I mussst be going now... fare-the-well young Sssnape'

The serpent slithered out of the room leaving a bewildered Harry in it's wakes... The young Slytherin decided he needed to go sleep now he'd have to get up early if his plan was to work... He snuck back into his dorm, he got his own because the other dorms were full, which he didn't mind: he didn't have to worry about someone catching him sneaking out or in... The next morning he awoke before breakfast, forgetting about his talk with the serpent, he grabbed the vial and quickly got dressed... he'd have to be quick about this if he wanted to make it in time. He walked out of his dorm and stalked off towards the kitchens. The tickled the pear and smiled as the picture swung open to allow him access, He'd snuck in here a million of times so the house elves were use to him... and many became his friends. He quietly asked one of them what foods were going to the Gryffindors, though he almost called them his term for them, table. The elf was kind of leery but finally gave in when he was given a few Knuts. The boy smiled and made sure the he got the right foods... the ones he was after always ate the same foods before a big match, well every match against Slytherin at least...He grinned before stalking out of the kitchen but not before saying a 'thanks' to the house elves... The boy headed back towards the common room to wake the others, mainly if he was the first to the Slytherin table people would get suspicious. He smirked to himself thinking 'this'll be good'... Later with most of the Slytherin House woken up by the boy, He and the house's Quidditch team stalked towards the great hall. They sat down at their table and yawned as they ate. The boy chuckled to himself as he seen that his plan was about to be up into action. He poked the boy beside him, who was one of the chasers, and told him to watch the Gryffindor team... after a few minutes the students that were sleepily eating are now laughing at the Gryffindors. It seems that they now had neon green hair and their skin was in a range of colors from hot pink to light blue... The boy burst out laughing congratulating himself silently of his good work. He looked over towards the multi colored Gryffindors and watched as they angrily walked his way.

"You did this! I know you did." the captain yelled venomously

"Why would you think I'd do something like that?" the boy asked innocently, he'd perfected this skill through all the times he was in trouble.

"Because you a slimy Slytherin git, That's why!"

"What's going on here!" yelled Professor McGonagall

"Harry did this to us!" yelled a chaser on the Gryffindors team

"You Seven go see Pomfrey, you come with me." Professor McGonagall shouted.

"We'll get you for this Harry!" came a few angry shouts before he stalked off behind McGonagall, toward Dumbledor's office.

"Mr. Snape, What did you do this time." The older man asked. Harry told him what happened and waited calmly for his punishment.

Later after the quidditch match, which the Slytherin won 250 to 10, Harry went to Professor Snape's office..

"Father?"

"Yes, what is it Harry?"

"Do you think I could get a pet...?"

"What kind of pet are you thinking?"

"A serpent..."

"Why"

"Because I think they are great company.... and I just want one."

"You know that only an Owl, toad, or cat is allowed"

"Yeah but one of the Gryffindors had a rat and nothing was said to him."

"I don't know... you'll have to talk to Albus about that, If you get his permission I'll get you a serpent"

"Thanks"

He stalks out of his father's quarters towards the headmaster's office. Saying the password, he enters to office of the headmaster.

"Mr. Snape, What brings you here?"

"Uh I was just wondering if I could have a serpent here at school..."

"Hmm... I think that I could handle a snake here. Just make sure that it doesn't hurt anyone or you'll have to leave it at home."

"Thanks Professor!"

Harry sprinted back to his father's chambers and told him that Albus agreed to let him. He was happy; He was able to keep a snake.

Later that week, When the students were allowed to go to Hogsmeade, Harry went and bought him a small black serpent, which he named Salazar.

A/N: Sorry if this Chapter sounds lame or corny or whatnot it's just I haven't had much time to write because school started last week and between homework and writers block I haven't had much Time to put into this. I was wanting to get at least one of the three fics, I'm currently working on, updated as soon as possible. I think my mind was in 'Star Wars' land when I first began this... he he.. R/R please.
