A/N: Again I don't own all this. JK Rowling does. In this chapter, Harry will talk to snakes so everytime Harry or a snake speaks, it will be in bold and italic print.
Chapter 4- The first meeting
Heidgrimm was sitting in his study silently, drinking a muggle beer called Heineken. He was thinking about the next steps to take in his plan for world domination and slaughter when his servant Romero ran into the room breathlessly.
"Master.. please forgive me for this interruption," Romero gasped.
"What do you have to tell me Romero?" Heidgrimm asked.
"Master, apparently a wizard named Harry Potter is coming over from England to fight you. They say this Harry Potter character is very strong and survived the killing curse twice," Romero panted.
"This is interesting news Romero. Thank you."
"You're welcome my lord," Romero said with a bow.
Heidgrimm sighed and started to read a book. He knew all about Harry Potter. He knew Harry Potter had defeated Lord Voldemort and was one of the most powerful wizards alive. Unfortunately, the thing Heidgrimm did not know about was Harry Potter's weakness. He figured if he could find out, then he could use that against Harry. Sighing, Heidgrimm finished the can of Heineken and crushed it with his right fist. Now he had an idea.
Meanwhile Harry and Raven arrived outside the Ministry of Magic headquarters in Washington. They walked inside where a guard barely acknowledged them then walked into a huge meeting room filled with several other people. For the next half hour or so, they listened to several people speak about the growing threat of Heidgrimm. Harry found it impossible to pay attention after five minutes so he kept thinking about his wife back home. After everyone was done speaking, Harry felt someone nudge him lightly on his arm.
"Harry, they want you to speak," Raven whispered.
"Oh yeah, thanks," Harry replied before he got up. "Um… good morning ladies and gentlemen. My name is Harry Potter and I am here because you have an evil wizard problem," Harry said, looking around the room. "Um… I promise you that I will do my best to eliminate this wizard as quickly as possible so that you can continue with your normal lives," Harry said, as everyone started to applaud.
Several minutes later, Harry was walking with Raven in a small alleyway that featured wizarding shops. As they passed by a pet stop, Harry heard a voice speak.
"Ooh, that is one gorgeous lady," the voice said.
Harry turned around and saw a snake in the window. "Hello there. My name is Harry Potter. What's yours?"
"Harry Potter, I am Alegro the beast," the snake replied.
Harry looked at the snake for a minute then looked at Raven, who had turned extremely pale. "What's the matter?" Harry asked.
"Harry, you can speak to snakes?" she asked.
"Umm yeah," Harry replied. He then pointed to Alegro. "That snake there thinks you're really pretty Raven."
"Well tell the snake thank you and ask him if he knows anything about Heidgrimm," she asked.
"Alegro the beast, she says thank you. She also wants to know if you know anything about Heidgrimm," Harry hissed.
Alegro rose up for a minute. "Of course I know about Heidgrimm. He is a foolish wizard who has all these scum to do his dirty work while he hides. That man has no honor," Alegro hissed angrily.
"Apparently he is on a reign of terror," Harry hissed.
Alegro let out a series of curses. "Why don't you buy me as a pet?" he hissed. "I can tell you so much information."
Harry nodded and turned to Raven. "Raven, I think we should buy that snake," he said, gesturing at Alegro.
"Harry, I think you have your reasons so go ahead," she said.
Harry went in to buy the snake and a few minutes later, Alegro was wrapped around Harry's shoulders. "I am supposed to defeat this Heidgrimm character," Harry hissed to Alegro.
"Harry Potter, let me tell you a story," Alegro hissed. "I am one of the original animals of wisdom. I was hiding in the deserts when I saw a Navajo wizard turn dark. That wizard was known as Snakedrifter at first but over time, Snakedrifter changed until nobody could recognize him. Snakedrifter is the man known as Heidgrimm. If you want to know about the powers of the Navajo Indians, talk to your partner."
Harry turned to face Raven. "What can you tell me about the powers of the Navajo Indians?" he asked.
"The Navajo Indians have several powers that other wizards don't have. They can heal themselves as long as there is no significant damage done and the powerful ones can release a dust cloud that will literally destroy everything in its path. I would know because I'm part Navajo," Raven said.
Meanwhile, Alegro tensed and raised his body slightly into the air. "Harry, Heidgrimm is going to be attacking soon with around two dozen of his followers. I can feel it in my bones," he hissed.
Within seconds, Harry had his wand out and Raven looked at him questioningly. "I was told Heidgrimm would make a cameo appearance," Harry replied as they heard several pops and saw Heidgrimm and his followers enter.
Laughing madly, Heidgrimm and his followers started sending killing spells all over. Harry ran up and stunned all of his followers with one spell, causing Raven and Alegro to gasp in shock. Harry then took a look at the dead bodies lying around then looked at the wizard in black robes in front of him. For a few minutes, nobody spoke. Then the wizard in the black robes spoke.
"Harry Potter, you may not know who I am. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Heidgrimm. After watching you take out my followers like that, I have a proposal for you Harry Potter. Join me so with our powers combined we can rule this world."
"I would never join a scumbag like you," Harry replied angrily.
"Very well then. AVADA KEDAVRA!" Heidgrimm shouted.
Harry easily ducked the curse with his quidditch reflexes. "STUPEFY!" Harry countered.
Heidgrimm ducked the stunner then pointed his own wand at Harry. "CRUCIO!"
Harry ducked the Cruciatus curse and countered with another stunner. "STUPEFY!"
This stunner hit Heidgrimm on the arm but Heidgrimm was able to stay upright. He glared angrily at Harry. "AVADA KEDAVRA!"
Harry ducked again and sent a reductor curse at Heidgrimm. "REDUCTO!"
Heidgrimm ducked, then looked angrily at Harry once again. "SERPENTOISA!"
Harry saw two large poisonous snakes come out from the end of Heidgrimm's wand. "I am not your enemy, he is," Harry hissed, pointing at Heidgrimm. The snakes then turned around and moved toward Heidgrimm who got rid of them with a wave of his wand.
"Harry Potter, you are a worthy adversary but it ends here," Heidgrimm said. "AVADA KEDAVRA!"
Harry barely ducked the curse then he used the fireball spell. "FLAMOSA!"
A ball of fire erupted from Harry's wand and hit Heidgrimm. Soon the ball of fire had spread all over his body. Heidgrimm screamed in pain then used a spell to extinguish the flames. "So you think this is playtime Harry Potter?" Heidgrimm hissed. "Let's see how you can handle this," Heidgrimm shouted. "DUSTUS MOBILIUS!" Heidgrimm shouted before apparating away.
Within seconds, a huge dust cloud had appeared. As it slowly moved forward, it destroyed everything in its path. Harry tried to stop it but failed. Harry then concentrated and was able to hold up the dust cloud long enough for it to disappear. Harry then felt weak and felt the world go black as he collapsed to the ground. The last thing Harry could remember was the look of concern on Raven's face as he collapsed.
