History... With a Twist

Chapter 4

A/N: Ok I'm back I haven't fallen off the earth and I'm not dead… On with the story…

The now 11-year-old Slytherin stood outside his fathers' chambers. He was happy because today he would go the Kings Cross Station and ride the train like all the other first years. His father felt that he needed to experience this because there is nothing like seeing the castle from the lake. Usually he would just come to Hogwarts when all of the professors came back. His Father emerged from his chambers and motioned him to follow him.

"Lets go, we'll be late if we don't go soon. You remember what I told you… It's Platform 9 and ¾. The train leaves at 11 sharp…"

"Yeah, yeah you've only told me about a million times already."

"Well I'm just wanting to make sure you make it back here on the train."

"Don't worry about it. I'll be fine"

Then he heads out of his fathers dungeon quarters and towards the main hall. His father shakes his head ever so slightly before following the 11 year old. They set off for the edge of the anti-apparition wards before they disappear. The boy holds on for dear life to his father's arm as he apparites. The boy did not favor this form of transportation but at least it was better then the Floo network. The two appear in a secluded alley beside Kings Cross Station, They are wearing muggle clothing so as to not draw to much attention to them selves. The man is wearing a Black long sleeved shirt with a gray Dragon on it; the eyes of the dragon are blood red. He also wears a pair of Black pants. The Boy wears a green shirt with a silver snake wrapped around a blood stained sword, He also wears a pair of black pants. The Pair enter the Bustling station and the boy looks around in awe. The man chuckles slightly at this and hands the boy a ticket.

"You'll need this to board the train. Remember it's platform three and nine quarters. The train will not be leaving for another 30 minutes so be on time. I wouldn't want to have to come back here and pick you up." The boy, who was looking at the ticket, didn't notice that his father had gone.

"But wher…" He stops in mid question as he sees that he is now alone and people are looking at him. He shrugs and begins towards the elusive platform; He stopped to ask a person where the platform was, but all he got in response was a laugh. The boy thought to himself in disgust 'Bloody Muggles'. He then heard someone say…

"This way to Platform Nine and Three Quarters… " He saw a woman with bright fiery red hair along with about four children with equally fiery red hair. Two of them, Twins, he knew but the other two, one had to be a first year and the other looked to be younger than a first year. He approaches them, as the twins notice and frown.

"What are you doing here you Slimy Slytherin Git!" One, He was guessing Fred, said while the other just deepened their frown.

"Slimy Slytherin Git? I thought that that title was reserved for my father alone… Guess it runs in the family. Eh?" He hears the woman from before clear her throat.

"Why don't you two introduce me to your little friend here."

"Mum, This is Harry Snape. Harry this is my Mum."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Harry."

"Likewise Mrs. Weasley."

"Will this be your first year at Hogwarts Harry? This is Ron's first year."

"Actually they let me start when I was 8… So I'd be considered a Third year Slytherin. But it's my first Oficial year there. Where's Platform Nine and Three Quarters… Father said it'd be leaving soon."

"Of course, you just have to run towards the barrier between Platforms Nine and Ten. Here Fred, you and George go first. Then we'll follow you." She sends the twins a look before they take a running start and disappear through the wall. Harry followed behind them and was surprised as he saw what was on the other side of the wall. Students were everywhere, waiting with friends and family and the train waited idlely awaiting the time to leave. He boards the train and goes into a compartment, the twin's compartment. He blinks slightly before stepping out of the compartment and begins his search for one non-weasel infested. He finally found one that was empty so he claimed it for himself. He let Salazar unwrap himself from His arm and settle in the seat beside him. After a few minutes the door opens to reveal a blond boy.

"Mind if I seat in here… The only other compartments open have been infested with weasels and Mudbloods. I'm Draco Malfoy, by the way."

"Sure. I'm Harry Snape but you can call me Alex. I noticed a bunch of mudbloods and weasels are around. Hogwarts should be for Pureblooded families only."

"Snape? You wouldn't happen to know a Professor Severus Snape?"

"Yeah that's my Father… Why?"

"Our Fathers are friends."

Draco sets down in the seat across from Harry, which receives a hiss from the other seat. Draco glances around and then eyes the snake.

"Friend of yoursss massster?"

"I told you not to call me master, call me Alex like my friends do. And yes this is Draco He's a friend so don't worry… It's those weasels you have to worry about."

Draco looks on with wide eyes. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Harry was a Parseltounge.

"Does this bother you? I mean me being a Parseltounge and talking to my friend and all."

"No not really. My dad's friend brings his snake over at dinner all the time during the summers."

"Who is your dad's friend? Would I have heard of him?"

"His name is Voldemort… He's kind of scary though. I doubt that you know him personally but you may have heard of him."

"Does he call his snake, Nagini?"

"How did you know that?"

"Nagini surprised me when I pulled a prank on the Gryffindorks before a big game against Slytherin last year."

The train slowed to a stop and the students pushed their ways toward the doors. Once on the platform they hear a loud bellowing.

"Firs' years! Firs' years over here! Any more firs' years? Mind yer step, now! Firs' years follow me!" This giant man led them down a narrow path that led towards the lake.

"No more'n four to a boat" Harry and Draco boarded a boat with two larger boys already in there. Harry was telling Draco about his pranks and then Draco introduced him to the other two boys, Crabbe and Goyle. The Castle came into view and they looked at the magnificence of it.

A/N: Finally. I would have had this out sooner had it not been for my Mom deleting it a while back. I tried to remember what I had written but I soon gave up because I couldn't remember what I did write… I could have swore that I had saved it to a CD before it crashed but I guess I didn't. Well Now that it's out I hope you enjoy it.
