Hermione and Ron were walking around Diagon Alley together, too worried
about Harry to really notice where they were going. CRASH Hermione had walked right into someone. She looked up and dropped her books.
"HARRY!" she cried,
flinging her arms around Harrys neck. "Dumbedore came five minutes after you disappeared, and the Dursleys said you just vanished into thin air! Where have you been?" Hermione asked with a questioning look in her eyes, before starting to reach down and pick up her books. When she looked down, she gave a little gasp, and looked up at Harry. 'What did you do to
them?'The books had stopped mid way to the floor
"I really have no idea." Harry sighed. At the moment I am so confused." Ron and Hermione both ignored the last part of the sentence.
"Harry, it's good to see you. Whatever happened to staying at our place eh,?" Ron asked with a raise of his eyebrows. He looked from Harry to Bollie and back again. "Er, Harry, why do you have a house-elf with you?" Ron asked in a hushed voice; He didn't want to hurt her feelings.
"Oh, sorry, this is Bollie, Bollie, these are my friends Ron, and Hermione. She came with me to get my school stuff." Harry replied trying to avoid the proper question. It seemed to work.
"If Mr. Potter wishes, Bollie will leave Mr. Potter to go round Diagon Alley with his friends."
Harry breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't really want to be seen with a house-elf tagging along after him all afternoon. He really liked Bollie, but he had to draw the line somewhere. "Thanks Bollie, I'll see you after Hogwarts has finished." He gave a quick sidelong glance at Ron and Hermione. "Um, what do I need to do to get? home? If I have need to come back, anyway." Harry thought it best not to tell his friends about his new Powers, and definitely not the fact that he could teleport himself.
"All you need to know," Bollie answered figuring out that he didn't want his friends to know anything just yet, "Is HPR."
"Right, thanks a lot Bollie. Um one last thing, me or you to get you back?" He knew that the way he was hiding things fromRon and Hermione would not go un-noticed, or un-questioned, but he had to know.
'Can you? I'm fairly tired after last night.'
Harry looked at her and realized that she did look very tired. He thought he'd better not close his eyes, so as not to make Ron and Hermione any more suspicious than they already were. He thought that he'd like Bollie back at HPR, whatever it stood for, and she was gone. Then the questioning began.
"What was all that about?" Ron asked with a puzzled look on his face.
He thought for a minute, and then answered. "I'd really like to tell you guys what's going on, but I'm still not sure myself. As to what that was about, I think I ought to think over that before I tell you about that either. I'm really sorry guys." They all fell silent, as they walked into "Flourish and Blotts". They separated while Harry got his new school book, and while he browsed through the other books. There were a couple of books that caught his eye, "A Helpful Guide to Distinguishing between English and Parseltongue". Harry thought he could definitely use some help there, maybe he would get a pet snake. "How to tell if you are an undiscovered Animagi, and how to transform". He took them to the counter, along with The Standard Book of Spells Grade 6, paid, and joined back up with Ron and Hermione who were now having a fight with Malfoy.
"Ahhhh, so wee little Potty, is going to help poor wittle Weasel and Ms. Mudblood" Malfoy sneered.
Harry hardly heard him because he was too distracted by a strange voice.
"I'm free, finally free, have to essscape to a foressst before I'm captured again."
At the sound of a hiss, Harry realized he was hearing in Parseltongue.
"Hello, who are you?"
Ron, Hermione and Malfoy were staring at Harry, transfixed by the soft hissings that were coming out of his mouth.
"My name issss Ssssarah, and who are you?"
"My name iss Harry Potter. I am a wizard, but I can sssspeak Parssseltongue. I do not know much about sssnakess, or Parssseltongue, and sssso I wasss wanting to know if I could keep you asss a pet?"(this seems a little sudden, maybe you could have him think about it a bit before) There was a silence, and so Harry figured that Sarah was thinking about his offer.
"That sssoundsss ssssatisssfactory."
"Would you like to come and ressst on my arm and meet my friendssss then?"
"Yesss pleassse."
Ron, Hermione and Malfoy watched in horror as a long snake appeared, and slithered over to Harry, and started to wind its way up to Harrys neck. When it had reached it's destination, it turned its head, and look at them, then back to Harry.
"Thessse are my friendsss, Ron, and Hermione," Harry said, pointing at them
in turn.
"Then who isss the other?"
"That isss one of my enemiesss, Draco Malfoy."
Malfoy yelped as the snake appeared to strike at him. Harry opened a lazy
eye, and once again started to hiss.
"I regret to sssay thisss, but you had bessst not harm anyone, elssse I will
take the blame."
"Ssssorrry."
Malfoy sighed with relief. Obviously Potter had commanded the snake not to
hurt him.
"No need to be sssorry, you didn't know. Anyway, I had better talk to my friendsss now, talk later ok?"
"Of coursse we ssshall talk later if you wisssh Massster Potter."
"Sorry about that," Harry said to Ron and Hermione, and then turned to Malfoy. "If I hear you've been harassing of my friends, Malfoy, I'll get Sarah here to bite you just hard enough to teach you a lesson. And don't forget, I now have the perfect spy." He patted Sarah, who had curled up to go to sleep.
Ron looked at Harry amazed as Malfoy stomped off. "Harry that was cool! Can I pat, Sarah, is it?" He asked hesitantly.
"Yes her name is Sarah, and yes you can pat her. Oh by way, don't worry about her biting you, I've instructed her not to bite anyone. What time do we need to go and catch the train?"
Hermione looked at her watch, and turned white. "Harry we've missed it."
"Does that mean that Malfoy's missed it too?"
"No," Hermione answered, "He could've gotten to a floo-network in time to get there."
Harry thought for a moment, then decided that he'd better teleport them right onto the train.
"Ok, listen you guys, I'm going to get us there ok, but you can't ask me how. I'll get us there on the count of three ok? One, two, three." Harry thought that he'd about them, and all their Hogwarts things being in the Hogwarts Express. He opened his eyes, sat down with Ron and Hermione in a compartment, and realized something was missing; something that just recently had belonged on his neck. "SARAH," he cried suddenly, "I forgot Sarah." He quickly teleported Sarah onto the train, and into his lap, "I'm Ssssorry Ssssarah."
"That'ssss ok Harry."
When Harry looked up to talk to his friends, he saw them looking at him wide-eyed, and sighed. "I think I'll get some sleep ok? Wake me up when we get to Hogwarts."
~
Harry was about to go to sleep when something began to nag at the corner of him mind, but he couldn't for the life of him think of what it was. He began to drift even further into sleep, when the answer hit him. "How the hell did
I get out of the Dursleys? I mean I knew what I had to do, but how?" He muttered out loud. When he looked up, he saw Ron and Hermione looking at him strangely. He sighed and said, I'll be back in a minute ok? I have to go to the toilet.' As soon as he, along with Sarah, was out of their carriage he teleported himself back to his house. When he got back, there was a sudden crack, and Bollie was standing in front of him. Not wanting to hang around for too long, he blurted him question out. "Bollie? How did I teleport myself here, when I didn't know about this place, AND when I didn't even
know how to teleport in the first place?"
"Ah, Master Harry, Asrenalia gave you that knowledge for the few seconds you needed it, then took it back."Harry nodded."Thank you. I'll be going back now. See you," and Harry faded from view. A few minutes after he got back, he heard a girl scream.
A little bit of a cliffe there sorry, but I will probably update tomorrow night, depending on how quickly my beta sends back the next chapter.
