Chapter Five
Harry was worried, he didn't dare go back to the Gryffindor's common room. Things were going ok, Oliver had complete faith in him at the games which made Harry happy because he really looked up to him, and soon the two were talking a lot. Than He had spoken Parseltounge he know everyone was scared. He should have know it would be stupid to accept Draco's Challenge. Harry had been talking to snakes since he was little, his father never told him it was bad. He was only trying to keep the snake from biting off someone's head!! He sat in his father's chambers waiting for him to return it was almost twelve Pm and Harry hoped he wouldn't be much longer. Why, could he really be the heir of Slytherin? His first year Voldemort tried to use him to get the stone, he even tempted Harry by saying he'd bring his mother back...
"Harry, what are you doing here?"
Harry looked at his father but continued to sit not moving his eyes from the fire.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Horror crossed Snape's face, How could Harry know?
"Harry, please-"
"You could have told me..."
"I know."
"I didn't know talking to snakes was wrong."
Silence followed Harry's last statement. Snape thought back to today's events, foolish Gilderoy wanted to show off his dueling skills that was a laugh. Than Gilderoy for some odd reason picked Draco, and of course Severus wasn't going to let him win so he chose Harry. It would have been easy if Malfoy hadn't cheated. Than he put the snake out there probably on purpose. Since Lucius knew Harry spoke Parseltounge, stupid gits.
"Harry, I...I should have told you. But you always liked talking to snakes and I didn't want to upset you."
"You didn't want to upset me? Well, you did a damn good job protecting me."
"Harry..."
/Flashback/
Snape sighed as he entered his and his five year sons chambers. They students were annoyed today, Snape was about to kill all the little brats but the day was over soon. Why Dumbledore ever thought he could teach was beyond him.
"Harry!" As Snape entered everything looked calm and clean which was a rare sight for the Snape household. "Harry?"
"Over here, dad!"
Severus made his way to Harry's bedroom he was his son sitting on the window chatting some ungodly langue.
"Harry, what are you saying?"
"I was talking to Will."
"Whose Will?" Snape sighed hoping it wasn't an imaginary friend.
"That's Will." he said pointing out the window.
Severus groaned as he made his way to the window and looked at what Harry was pointing to. It was a green garden snake, not very large in size, probably still a child itself.
"You can talk to snakes, Harry?"
"Yeah, it's easy! Give me a question to ask him!"
"What's his parents names?" Snape said doubtfully.
Harry sure enough spoke Parseltounge and the snake answered back.
"He says his mother's name is Ann and his father's name is William."
"Do you talk to snakes often, Harry?"
"Not really, father. whenever I meet one. There very nice creatures. I like them." Harry grinned.
"That's strange." Snape mumbled.
"What is father? Can't all wizards talk to snakes?"
"No, they can't." Could James talk to snakes, no to stupid, Lily...she hated the thought of snakes.Have you told Dumbledore that you can talk to snakes?"
"No, should I?"
"Forget it, carry on with your snake friend."
For the rest of the day Severus had to listen to Harry talk about that dumb snake and it's life. As Snape listened he couldn't help but think how come Harry was a Parseltounge it didn't make much sense, HE was one...
/Present/
That night Harry slept in his father's rooms, he felt tried, scared and unsure of himself. Which was something very unusual for the young Snape, he was always confident about everything. His father was in Slytherin, and they did come from a line of pure-bloods, so maybe he could be...
Disaster hit soon than Harry thought, Justin was hit and of course Harry had to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. And now he was entering Dumbledore's office, how the hell would he explain this one? He spotted the hat and knew at that moment he had to know if he had made a mistake.
"Hello, Harry, you seen a lot of kids come and go just like me. Yes, it's been awhile..."
"I hate to bother you but..."
"Never a bother...I know what you want, you're wondering if I put you in the wrong house." said the hat smartly, "You would have been very great indeed, yes I still think Slytherin."
"Thanks. But you're wrong."
"Think whatever you like..." Harry removed the hat more upset than ever. Than he saw fawkes, he had loved fawkes ever since he was little. Fawkes was the symbol of faith and hope both he was missing today. Suddenly, the bird burst into flames and ashes.
"Shame you had to seen her on a burning day, I know how much you like her."
Harry turned towards Dumbledore he couldn't even look him in the eye, the thought of Dumbledore thinking he had did such a thing was killing him. As the Professor was about to speak Hagrid busted in, "It wasn't Harry!!"his ton was very urgent, "Professor, I was talking to him , he never had, I ..he was...and..."
Dumbledore tried again to speak but Hagrid continued ranting, "I swear in front of anyone to prove it-"
"Hagrid, I-"
"I know Harry he'd never-"
"Hagrid!" For the first time ever Harry heard Dumbledore shout. He wasn't angry he was trying to get his voice to carry over Hagrid very loud one, "I do not think Harry attacked those people."
For the first time in days Harry felt better, he quickly left afterwards sort of lying about knowing anything. As he exited he heard a timid voice. "H-Harry."
Harry looked and saw Oliver Wood his Qudditch captain. "Oliver, what are you doing?"
"Waiting for you...Harry did you-"
"No!" Harry cut him off rudely, he couldn't believe Wood as such little faith in him!
"Why didn't you come back to the dorm last night, I was worried."
"Your the only one!" Harry spat.
"Harry!" Wood raised his voice than brought it back down, "I believe you. Just because your Snape's son doesn't mean a thing, your kind gentle and wonderful, and I..." Harry realized Oliver was bright red.
(Ok this is sitting up for the much later slash chapter but this isn't slash! If someone doesn't like it I'll make a separate Chapter.)
"Thanks, Oliver, It means a lot to me. I got to go, Bye." Harry ran off to met Hermione and Ron, why had Oliver done that? Oh well. As Harry entered the girls bathroom e saw Hermione and Ron waiting, "Harry, have you asked yet."
"No, but I don't think Malfoy had anything to do-"
"Harry." Hermione's tone was sharp,"Just because he used to be your friend doesn't mean he isn't guilty."
"Whatever. I'm going..."
"Oh, Harry."
"Yes, Ron..."
"Find out what that bloody git's been saying about my family."
Harry sighed, Ron always....Harry made his way to the Slytherin common room when he ran into Percy of all people.
"Harry what are you doing here, go back to the common room at once."
Harry was about to say something when he heard Malfoy interrupt, "I think the question is what are you doing Weasly?"
Percy looked as outrages, Harry never saw Percy that ticked off, well that's a lie when he was younger he helped Fred and George play some tricks on Percy, that was good.
"You want to show a bit more to a school prefect! I don't like your attitude..."
"Who does? Come one Harry, let's talk to your dad about raising my grade."
As the two turned the corner, "That Peter Weasly-"
"Percy."
"Whatever, so Harry what bring you all the way down here because you know my grades are fine."
"Of course, why wouldn't I? I need to talk to you."
"Sure."
"Password?" the painting asked.
"Pure-bloods."
The two entered, noting happened a few stares but most were used to seeing Harry.
"Look at this." Draco threw him a clip from the Daily Prophet. Harry read it carefully, "You Malfoy's never stop..."
"Nope, not until we've gotten what we want of course." Draco grinned.
"Draco please, tell me. Who do you think is responsible for all this?"
"...My first guess would have been you."
"Your faith in me, shocks me beyond belief."
"You asked," Draco lowered his voice to a whisper, "You mean do I think it's anyone in Slytherin."
"Yeah."
"Nope, they're all to stupid. And even if I knew where it was you'd think I'd be that dumb!"
"I don't know, with you, you never know."
"Thanks, it's getting late you should probably get back and tell Weasly and Ranger what you didn't find out."
"Yeah." Harry mumbled and left. What was he going to tell them....
