Chapter 2: Harry's new pet

It was nearly midnight, and Harry was out on a late night stroll through Hogwarts corridors, deeply lost in his own thoughts. Portraits were staring at Harry with concern, it wasnt very often that he was out after curfew without his invisibility cloak.

/ What am I going to do? Dumbledore is constantly manipulating me, and on top of that I have to put up with Ron and Hermione's constant bickering about me, they see everything in black and white, to them there is no grey area!/

Harry sighed, not paying attention to where he was going, he ended up down in the dungeons, Slytherin territory, going through the maze like corridors!

/Oh well, it's not like there true friends anyway. It's a relief that no one can see behind this mask. What would they think if their precious Golden boy turned dark? They don't even see me, all they see is my scar.../

Harry's thoughts were interrupted by a low hissing noise coming from around the corner.

{Where am I? Stupid humans sticking me in their endless tunnels}

He followed the hissing voice around the corner and came up to a small black snake with a silver streak down its back. Harry quickly answered it with a hiss of his own.

{What's wrong little one?}

The snake's head rose to look at Harry, its deep purple eyes shone with curiosity.

{You can understand me?}

{Yes little one I can understand you. What's your name little one, I'm Harry.}

The snake flickered its forked tongue at Harry.

{My name is Javara...Oh you the one that old man was talking about! I don't like him, he almost stepped on me!}

Harry smirked.

{You must be talking about Albus.} Harry hissed then added as an after thought, {what did he say about me?}

{Something about being Tom's son and that under no circumstances is he to find out blah, blah, blah.} Javara paused, if snakes could sigh or roll their eyes, she would have done both! {Oh wait, oops guess I shouldn't have said it then huh.}

Harry chuckled at the little snake.

{I guess not but thanks anyway}

{You're Harry Potter right?}

{Yes. Why?}

{Well, I have a note for you from the dark lord, Here.}

Harry reached down to grab the note that Javara was holding out and opened it. Reading it through, Harry was surprised.

===================

Dear Harry

I know you must be surprised that I'm sending you a letter, to be honest I'm a little shocked myself. I had sent one of my death eaters out and he brought me back your birth certificate, it stated that you are my son. I would like to talk to you about what we will do about this. I will tell you how this happened when you get here. If you should want to come live here and accept that I'm your father you will become my heir. I know this is sudden but you can leave with Javara, she is not actually a snake. Ask her to change and she will. I hope to see you soon.

Sincerely Lord Voldemort

P.S Enclosed is your birth certificate

===========================

Harry blinked a few times, trying to process the information. He found the Certificate and opened it to see if Voldemort was lying or not.

===========================

Name: Harold James Potter/Riddle

Born: July 31 1987

=====================

{Okay that was weird. Can you change please?}

Javara bobbed her head up and down and seconds later stood there in her true form, a vampire!

Her deep purple eyes looked Harry over, she grabbed her blood red hair and pulled it back into a tight ponytail, letting a few strands loose to frame her face.

"Are you coming with me Milord?"

Harry grinned maliciously.

"Yes I am, take me to my father."

Javara smirked and led Harry out of Hogwarts. She then apparated him to Riddle Manor.



A/n: what do you think? I think its better but you be the judge. I didn't know the actual middle names so I just decided on these ones. Please review!!
