Chapter 7
Parseltoungs United
As the end of the week neared Harry's scar surged with pain, it hurt the most in his potions class. Sarah was sitting only two rows in front of him, and every now and then she would glance back at him, but only for a second and then go back to flirting with Draco. Harry still couldn't believe it, she was a Parseltoung...He had, had a bad vibe from her from the start. "Harry what's wrong?" Hermione asked one night as they lounged in the common room.
"You've barley slept since school started Harry, Bloody Hell just tell us what's wrong!" Ron complained. Harry stood up.
"I know...I'm er- gonna go for a walk." Harry walked out of the common room before any more was said. He hated it when they started to talk to him about the Heir of Slytherin.
As Harry walked down the corridors he heard a voice talking angrily, at first it sounded like low hisses, but when he got closer to the voice, it translated to english. "Errr, hello?" Harry called, and the voices stopped. Harry looked around the corner and saw her, Sarah Riddle. She stared at him blinking only once, her snake sat on the floor it's head raised now looking at Harry. "Hey I know you, you're that-"
"Exchange girl? Yes one of the few." she sighed. "The names Sarah, Sarah Victoria Riddle...and you are?"
"Oh Harry, Harry Potter."
"Oh! Really? Well if it isn't Harry James Potter" Harry gaped at her, how did she know his middle name if he didn't.
"What are you looking at?" Sarah asked irritated.
"You...You know my middle name?" Harry asked curiously.
"Uh yeah, my err, my Uncle knew you parents...Very well." She said a mysterious smirk making it's way across her face. Two Hufflepuffs walked by briskly looking at the two scared. Sarah smiled sheepishly as they walked by.
"What's wrong?" Harry asked a small smile on his as he looked at Sarah.
"We must be speaking Parseltoung to each other."
"Is that even possible? How did you know I was Parsletoung?" Harry raised an eye brow.
"Yeah, me and my Uncle do it all the time..Oh you can leave now Nagani." The snake nodded it's head and slythered away.
"Oh that's it's name? At the Welcome Feast I couldn't really hear you, everyone was talking and whispering around me, plus that girl screamed."
"You could understand me?"
"Yeah...I'm -" "Parseltoung...I figured, you kinda just gave it away a minute ago." Sarah smiled, she acually kinda like the idea of another Parseltoung to talk to...'Gee' she thought. 'too bad I have to kill him.'
"Soooo..." Harry said. "I'm pretty sure Daco has said tons of nasty stuff about me." Sarah thought for a moment.
"Uh no, acually I don't really talk to the loser. He thinks he's all high and mighty, cause he's a good for nothing Pure Blood.I only flirt with him, because I have nothing better to do." Harry laughed, he thought a girl like Sarah would go for a guy like Draco. "But he has said a lot about you and your friends what are their names?...Oh yeah! Weasley, and Granger."
"hummmm, well that sounds just like him." Sarah and Harry laughed together, and Sarah sighed.
"Ahh, well I better get going...I'm suposed to corn row Pansy Parkinsons head." she rolled her eyes, and smiled. "Well see ya Potter." She turned around and walked down to the Slytherin Common Room.
"Bye..." Harry too turned around and pasted the hallway to Moaning Myrtle, it was flooded and Harry could hear crying.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Harry walked inside and looked around. "Myrtle?" He called and Myrtle came zooming up to him.
"What do you want?!" She hissed.
"I wanted to see what you were crying about." Harry said putting a false sympathy face on.
"Well I was sitting up there," She pointed to the window up near the celing. "thinking about death like I always do. When this large snake came slythering in here. I zoomed down to tell it to go away. it snapped at me, trying to bite me, and then it went into the sink pipe, over there." She then pointed to the Chamber of Secrets's entrance.
"No Myrtle that's impossible. Professor Dumbledore had me seal it, after Lucius Malfoy left from the school, after I defeted the Basilisk." Myrtle looked at him.
"I know, I whatched you close it, but that snake is in there." Harry sighed and walked over to it.
"Alright then, I'll check it out this weekend." Myrtle smiled at him.
"Thank you Harry, you're so sweet." Harry shuddered.
"Umm thanks, I guess, well best be off." Harry turned around and ran out.

Harry walked into the Gryffindor Common Room happy to go to bed. He noticed that no one was there but Hermione who was just staring off in her own little world at he fire. 'She's beautiful...' He thought to himself and he walked up to her. "Hey Herm, you ok?" She looked up and him and smiled.
"Yeah Harry, I'm fine, but it's...oh it's nothing." She smiled and looked back at the fire. Harry moved to a kneeling position infront of Hermione. For the first time he saw her true beauty and the fire caught it magnificently. Her hair was soft and shiny, now with blond highlights, and it was dead strait, her eyes were still a dark brown with her eyelashes long and curled, and her face and body were magnificent. Harry couldn't help but notice. "Hermione, I know something is wrong...Your eyes give you away." He looked at her with concern and Hermione must have noticed because Harry's eyes gave him away too, she looked away trying not to look at him...
-----------------------herm's pov----------------------
I was sitting in a chair staring at the fire thinking of Harry and that Riddle girl, me and Ron both knew she ment trouble, and we both knew we should tell Harry but another part of us didn't want us too. I heard Harry walk in, but didn't move. Was he walking over here? "Hey Herm, you ok?" I looked at him and smiled, he was a site to die for, luckly for me I could look at him any time I wanted, and he'd never know my feelings.
"Yeah Harry, I'm fine, but it's...oh it's nothing." I smiled again and looked back intot eh fire hoping her would leave, I should have known better.
"Hermione I know something is wrong...Your eyes give you away." Was he looking at me with concern, he looks really scared, I haven't seen him like this since our first year when he went to face Lord Voldemort and Quirrle. I looked away.
----------------------end pov-----------------
Harry grabbed Hermione's shoulders firmly but gently. "Hermione...I- I..." He let go of her "I hope you feel better soon, we'll talk in the morning, you should get back to the Head Boy and Girl Domitories...Would you like for me to escort you?" Hermione nodded her head.
"No, thank you Harry, I can do it myself." She got up and walked out, and Harry helplessly whatched her leave. He stood there for about five minutes, the made his way up the stairs.
As Harry walked up to the 7th year boys room he stopped and a picture of Sarah Riddle appered in his head -they were snakes, and thier bodies were intwined...- Harry shook his head and changed into his PJ's, and clambered into his bed.
