Harry Potter Does not belong to me.


Harry woke up the next morning to someone jabbing him in the leg. "Harry, mate, wake up but don't move to fast." "What?" he mumbled as he woke and looked at Ron. "Ron, what are you going on about?" "Buddy there's a snake on your chest! Don't move, I'll see if I can blast it off."

Harry stared at Ron as he said this, then looked down at his chest to see Arawn curdled up as usual. "Ron it's ok." Harry said as he picked up his pet. Ron's eyes bugged out. "Wh-what are you doing!"

"Ron it's ok it's only Arawn, she's my pet. And don't even think of pointing your wand at me, we haven't learned any spells you could kill me!"

"Sorry mate. I didn't know you had a pet snake."

Harry got up and Arawn encircled her self around his arm. "Sorry, I thought I had mentioned her."

"Yeah, no ya really didn't."

"What is going on here? I heard your commotion from down stairs, hurry up you late for breakfast!"

Hermione said to them.

"Sorry 'Mione"

"Harry's got a pet snake. I thought it was attacking him." stated Ron.

"Really? Isn't that dangerous?" Hermione questioned.

"No, Arawn is really nice, she wont hurt anyone." Harry looked up at them nervously, "Um...promise you guys wont freak out or anything?"

"Yea, Harry what's up?"

"Well...you see...I can kinda talk to snakes, but there not all evil and there really nice..and I'm not evil and I wouldn't hurt anyone..and-" rambled really quickly.

"You're a Parseltongue? That's cool. I mean you can't be a dark wizard you way to much of a softy for that." said Ron smirking. Ron's eyes widened as he saw the look in Harry's eyes. "Ha Ha. Sorry mate I was just jok-." with a battle cry Harry tackled Ron and the two wrestled.

thwap, thawp Harry and Ron stopped and looked up at Hermione who had just slapped them both in the head. "You two are so immature, get up and get dressed were gonna be late for are first day!" she screeched at them before huffing and heading to the common room muttering under her breath about stupid little boys. Ron and Harry jumped up and got dressed calling out for Hermione to wait for them.


Remus was going through the attic at the Most Ancient and Noble house of Black looking for a spell book. When they had cleaned the house they had thrown away most every thing, but they kept some stuff out of necessity, and put it all up here so they didn't have to look at it. Right now Remus was looking for a book to help him in his research that he was doing for Dumbledore.

Going through one of the boxes Remus found a picture. It looked like Sirius at about 15 but there was something different about the eyes. It dawned on Remus this must be Regulus, Sirius' twin brother who had died when he was 20 serving Lord Voldemort. Sirius hated his brother as well as the rest of his family and never really spoke of them, they were dark wizards the lot of them except for an odd cousin every now and again. Remus put the picture down and continued his search for the book.

"Sirius get you ass up here and help me sort through this mess! Can't you at least be a little organized?"

"But Moony were's the fun in that?" the animagus called back.

"Bloody wanker."


"Bugger, were late McGonagall is gonna kill us!"

"I've noticed Ron, I think its this way." as it was Hermione had not waited for the two boys who had missed breakfast and got lost on the way to there first class Transfiguration. (Harry forgot the Map in his trunk) McGonagall had glared at the two and had suggested that she transfigure them into a pocket watch. After that the day passed by pretty much without incident. Except for getting picked on from Snape but he had been expecting that. There Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was a disappointment for Harry. This was the class he had been most looking forward to, but professor Quirrell was a scared stuttering man, so he was hard to understand.

The time passed fast, Harry, after confronting Malfoy, ended up as the youngest Quidditch player in a century. He was the seeker for the Gryffindor team. To which an overly excited Sirius and Remus bought him the newest boom-Nimbus 2000- and had sent an exploding envelop that covered the Great Hall in confetti and turned Harry's along with Ron and Hermione's hair (Harry had told them of his friends in a letter) into Gryffindor red and it would flash gold occasionally. Life continued with fun and hard classes, pranks from the Weasley twins, and a lot off Quidditch practice. It was a few months into term when it happened.


"Stupid evil inbred git! Snape gives me detention because Malfoy trips me and I spill my potion!"

"Ron there's no use complaining about it you can't change it." Hermione replied smartly.

"Yes, but it make me feel better."

Hermione huffed and rolled her eyes "whatever, lest get to lunch." She said looking at Harry who was trying to not laugh as it would only anger her further. "I see that smile Potter." they continued to the Great Hall talking actively when...

Crash

The trio looked up to see what happened. Katty Mott, a 3rd year Hufflepuff had dropped all of her books and was just standing there in the middle of the hallway outside the Great Hall not moving. Then with out warring she started cursing people.

" Locomotor Mortis! Reducto! Incendio!" The tapestries on the wall caught firethe students were panicking, some of the students were blasted back into the wall, some had fallen over with the Leg Locker curse on them. " Incarcerous!" ropes wrapped them selves around a near by student. "Furnunculus!" The hex hit a 6th year coming out of the Great hall, causing boils to pop up all over him.

"Stupify!" Harry yelled, seeing an opening. Katty fell to the floor just as the professors ran into the hallway.

The professors tried to calm the students and see to the ones who had fallen. Professor Dumbledore walked up to where Harry stood over Katty.

"What happened here?" the aged wizard questioned Harry.

"I don't know sir, we herd a crash and we looked up and she just started cursing people. When I saw a clear shot I stunned her."said The-Boy-Who-Lived. Professor Dumbledore nodded and bent down to take a look at Katty. He waved his wand over her and mutter a spell Harry did not hear. His eyes widened and Harry hear him say "Imperius..." Dumbledore stood up and addressed the students.

"All those not injured return to your dormitories immediately, classes are canceled for the rest of today. Professors will transfer injured students to the hospital wing."


When they got back to the dorm Harry pulled Ron and Hermione aside and told them what he heard Dumbledore say.

"Imperius... I've read that some were, I know it..." Hermione mumbled to herself. Suddenly her face lit up. "I know! Hold on." Hermione ran up the stairs to the girls dormitory. Ron and harry just stared after her. A minute later she emerged from the stairs with a large book.

"I knew I read it somewhere, I read up all about the magical world before I came here. I read about the unforgivable's, the Imperius Curse is one of them. When cast it gives control of the person over to the one who cast it, if it's cast on you, you don't know what your doing, it's like your asleep."

"So some cast the Imperius on Katty?" questioned Harry. "But who?"

"Well it couldn't very well be a student, it's not taught here and the students magic is monitored, they would know if a student cast an illegal spell. It had to have been an adult, but I doubt it was one of the teachers."

"Well then who could have done it?" Ron asked sightly agitated.

"Yesterday was a Hogsmeade trip, I believe if someone cast it, it was then." Harry silently agreed with her. They stayed up and talked a bit more before heading up to bed, Harry wrote a letter to Sirius and Remus telling them what had happened, he knew he had to tell them now cuz they would find out any way, and hopefully they'd be a little less panicked if it came from him. With his letter sent, Harry headed up to the boys dorm.
