Celiel

----------

"Now miss Granger, any last words? You may speak now" "Why Harry? Why?" "Simple, I am going to be the next Dark Lord or better the Devil himself. Now say goodbye to you precious little life"

"Avada Kadavra."

The dead body of Hermione Granger fell with a 'thud' on the ground. Her eyes were wide open and their was still a look of pure hatred on it. He had to change that. Taking a knife out of his pocket and made a cut on her upper arm. He collected the blood in a bottle that he summoned. He would send the bottle to the girl's parents. They would be able to identify her blood. "You may eat her now" "Thank you master" The Basalisk opened his huge mouth and slid the girl in. with his huge fangs he sliced the body in two pieces. He ate the first piece slowly. Blood was everywhere. The other part was covered in blood and some organs were spread around the floor. Rytho slowly knuckling under and tracing a finger trough the blood. Bringing the finger to his lips so that he could savour the taste of it.

Blood, how he had longed to see it, to taste it. Making another cut in the girl her leg so that he could see the blood flowing from the wound. Gathering the blood in a goblet and when the goblet was finally full he brought it to his lips. The Basalisk who had finished the upper part a long time ago was waiting for his master to finish. When Rytho looked at him and gave him a nod in approval he ate the lower part to. In the meantime Rytho was savouring his goblet filled with blood while looking at the Basalisk devouring the last part of the young woman.

"I haven't felt this good in years. She sure tasted better than those tramps I used to kill" "Master, I must agree with you that she tasted good. Much better than my previous one" "Tell me, do you have a name?" "No master. Not that I know of" "Very well, then I will have to name you. What do you think of the name Bask?" "I like it master. Thank you." "You're welcome Bask. Now if you would excuse me I have to go to bed. I will come back later" "Have a good night master"

Entering the Common room and walking towards their Dormitories like he owned the place. "Where have you been?" 'Malfoy, shit didn't saw him. How could I be so stupid?' "Searching for Celiel. And don't ask anymore questions unless you want to be on the end of receiving my anger" with that he walked into the second year Dormitories and got into bed. Not caring to change into his pyjamas.

--next morning—

Rytho was eating his breakfast with a satisfied smile on his face until Snape entered the Great Hall with something that looked awfully familiar.

Celiel

Staring with a shocked face at his Head of House like the rest of the students. In the Great Hall was complete silence. You could hear a pin drop fall. That is until Snape broke the silence with his usual sneering voice. "Headmaster, do you remember the rumour last year about a snake?" the headmaster nodding not knowing what to say. "Good because this is the snake the rumour was talking about it. I found it in my private chambers one morning and decided to capture it and see what kind of snake it was. And to my utter surprise it was a highly deadly one." Rytho face changed that into one of pure hatred and stood up and walked towards Snape.

"How dare you" it was a mere whisper but the entire Great Hall heard every word. Looking into his teachers black eyes with his own green ones who were filled with hatred. "HOW COULD YOU" he screamed at the top of his lungs. Most people flinched at the tone he used. Not caring for the consequences he started talking to Celiel in Parseltongue. "Celiel? Celiel…can you hear me?" people were now backing away from them. Looks of horror on almost every student including the Professors. "Yes Harry but please listen to me. I will not life long. Please do not interrupt. I was forced into meeting you. Nagini made me do it. She took possession of my body and made me go to you since you were the closest thing to her master. When he died she died but her spirit found me and took over my body. I could do nothing about it but Harry believe me when I say this: I love you with all my heart and you will always be my best friend." Rytho who had now tears in his eyes and was crying openly. This shocked the Potions Professor. He knew the snake was his weak point but not this weak. "Celiel. Please don't give I need you" "Stop rattling little one. It is time for you to move on with your life. Goodbye." And with that her eyes closed and her body became limp. "No Celiel. It can't be true. You were my only friend" his voice was filled with so much emotion and sadness that some people had started to cry.

Rytho not looking into the eyes of the man that killed his precious little Celiel started speaking in a voice so low and full of hatred that it brought shivers up their spines. "I will kill you. I will revenge Celiels death. And when that time has come you wish that you were never born." Snape took a step back from the boy. He had a feeling he didn't want to know what he was saying. "Potter, did you know this snake?" he might as well try to get some answers from the boy. "Yes and the snakes name is Celiel. You would do well to remember that."

"Severus, Mr. Potter" both of them shot the Headmaster a venomous glare and in Rytho added some hatred to. Dumbledore seems to ignore this and continued. "Please follow me to my office. I believe a little chat fits this moment." The Headmaster walked out of the Great Hall and Snape and Rytho followed after him. Both of them sending each other glares of hatred.

Inside the Great Hall murmurs had rose as soon as the little group left. Some were touched by what Rytho said and others couldn't believe that their saviour could speak Parseltongue. And to make it worse then it already was Malfoy and Zabini were talking very loudly about how Potter had practised Dark Arts and that there was no wizard alive who could speak Parseltongue and hadn't turn dark.

--

"Mr. Potter, Severus please have a seat." Snape dropped the dead body of Celiel on the ground and sat on a chair. Rytho not pleased with this picked Celiel up and sat down with her body on his lap. "Harry please tell me everything. From the beginning." Still staring at the body of Celiel he started speaking. Not daring to look in his Headmasters eyes. "When I was seven or eight I ran into the back garden. I ran away from my uncle. I hid in the bushes and that's where I found Celiel."

He kept talking about his life, how the Dursleys treated him, how Celiel was his only friend. On purpose he left out the parts about his nightmares and the tramp killing. Knowing that if he looked into his Headmaster eyes he could see that he was lying about a few things. Both of his teachers were sitting dumbstruck on their chairs. Shocked at what he had told them. Snape always thought that he was a spoiled brat and had been treated like he was a king. Dumbledore knew he was going to have a hard time but this bad. "Thank you for your story Harry. Now Severus please tell who gave you the right to kill Celiel."

Snapping back into reality and making sure his mental barriers where up he answered in his normal sneering voice. "The day before the school started I woke up in the middle of the night. Why I woke up I don't know but what I saw gave me quite a shock. In front of me was a giant red snake with little horns on her head and black eyes. I could see the snake her fangs so I did the only thing that came to my mind at that moment: Kill it. My intend was to kill it but somehow it had surveyed so I assumed it was a magical snake. So I put her in a safe place where I could study her. A few days ago Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Zabini came to me because they were concerned about Mr. Potter. When I asked what the problem was they weren't very eager to answer. They told me in a whisper that he had lost his snake so I put the pieces together and realised that the snake I captured must be Potters."

Dumbledore slowly taken in the information that was given to him he continued his questioning. "Mr. Potter, why was Celiel at Hogwarts?" "Because I didn't want her take with me to Privet Drive." He still didn't look in the eyes of the Headmaster. Afraid he would find out his little secret. "Well I have come to a conclusion. Severus you will apologise to Mr. Potter for attacking his snake." He was going to continue but was cut of by Rytho.

"That doesn't bring her back!"

"Mr. Potter, please do not interrupt me when I am talking. As I was saying Severus you will apologise and Harry you will be given an appropriate punishment for bringing a deadly snake with you. If you told me about Celiel and asked if you could bring her with you at the start of terms last year I would have said yes. But if you are thinking about purchasing another snake and bring it with you to Hogwarts no. This discussion ends here. I do not want to hear another word about this. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes Professor Dumbledore" "Good now I want you to get back to class. You will be hearing about your punishment when I find something. Now off you go and leave Celiel with me. It would do you no good to keep her." With shaking hands he handed her over and walked out of the office. On his way to his Charms he thought of nice ways to kill Snape. During the day he didn't pay attention to what the teachers were saying all he could of was revenge. Right now he didn't care what everybody said about him being the next Dark Lord and all the other stuff. His Soultakers had left him but he didn't care.

Revenge was all he could think of.

--two days before Christmas—

"Hey Weasel, where is the Mudblood?"

"Don't you dare to talk like that about Hermione you filthy little ferret."

Malfoy blushed a little but he soon got his wand out and pointed it at Ron. "What did you say?"

"That you are a filthy little ferret" Ron said with a sneer on his face that rivalled Snape. "You Muggle lover fool"

"Reducto" the curse went flying straight towards Ron but Scabbers decided to make his appearance from Ron his chest pocket. The curse hit him straight on. Both Scabbers and Ron flew a few meters away. The rat was laying on the ground not moving. "Scabbers? Oh Scabbers please be ok." Ron pleaded and crawling slowly towards his rat. Checking to see if the rat was still breathing. He wasn't. The impact from the curse was too much for a little rat.

"You killed my rat!" Ron stood up and launched himself onto Malfoy and hit him in the face. Malfoy who hadn't suspected an attack like this was caught off guard and Ron had the chance to punch him even more. That is until Ron was pulled of the other boy and was slammed into a wall. Daring to look up he saw the angry face of none other than Harry Potter. And said boy had a murderous look in his eyes.

"You hurt him again and i will personally make sure that you end up dead." Rytho whispered into Ron his ear who was now shaking uncontrollable with fear. Rytho let him go and he slumped to the floor a haunted look was in his eyes. Rytho walked towards Malfoy who was still laying on the ground. When he was in front of him he said in a mere whisper so that only Malfoy could here it. "You owe me." with that he left and had a calculating look on his face.

After that little incident he didn't bother to talk to any of his Housemates. Knowing that they still hated him. The other Houses weren't nice to him either. The fact that Hermione Granger was still missing and no one knew were she was. That is until one day her parents received a bottle of blood. The blood had been as that of Hermione Granger. Everyone came to the same conclusion: She is dead. But if she was dead where was her body? There were no clues but Rytho had been suspected. The Headmaster declared him innocent until proven guilty.

He had planned a few more deaths but they could wait. Except for Gildory Lockheart. He hated that teacher with a passion. And he had this nagging suspicion that he wasn't the only one, including the teachers. He found it time to feed Bask again and have a little 'fun'. So on a sunny Sunday spring morning he went to pay his favourite teacher a visit.

"Professor Lockheart, you and I are going to have a little bit of fun."
