Nagini's PoV
I woke up, and saw that everyone else was asleep. I quickly got dressed and ready without waking everyone up, and looked at the time. Six o'clock. Breakfast starts at six thirty. I yell at the top of my lungs, "OI! WAKE UP! IT'S TIME FOR BREAKFAST!" Everyone falls out of their beds. "NAGINI!" is heard from the second year girl's dormitory as I run into the common room, laughing. Twenty-five minutes later, the girls come down and we all head off to the Great Hall for some breakfast.
"So, how did you achieve an IQ of 5,000?" Pansy asks. "I guess part of it is because I'm a maledictus, because snakes are really smart. I also read every one of my brothers' books, so I know a lot about the Wizarding World." I replied. We got to the Great Hall, and my bothersome brothers came, grabbed my arms, and tried to steer me towards the Gryffindork table. Tried, but failed. Draco saw what was going on and helped Pansy, Astoria, and Daphne drag me away from them. Then, being the people that they are, decided that getting the teachers involved was the best way to handle this.
"OI! That's our sister, she doesn't want to sit with you!" GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! "If I didn't want to sit by them, then why was I walking with them?" "Because they forced you to or because you didn't know how to get to the Great Hall." "On the contrary, I memorised the path from the Great Hall to my dormitory. And it's not up to you to decide who my friends are and whether or not I want to sit with them. Besides, I'm not allowed to sit at the Gryffindor table anyways." Ronald looks confused. Ah, they didn't tell him. "Why can't you sit at the Gryffindor table?" "Evidently because I'm not in Gryffindor, or have you gone color blind?" He saw the Slytherin crest on my robes and colors on my tie, and gasped."How dare you betray us! We fed you and clothed you and put a roof over your head." "It's just house, and you starved me and made me use your old robes and locked me in the basement. Do you even know what kind of snake I am?" He again looked confused. "You're a snake?" "Yes, obviously our parents didn't tell you why I was treated like dirt beneath their shoes." "What?" "OUR PARENTS HATED ME, YOU IDIOT! YOU NEVER NOTICED BECAUSE YOU WERE TOO CAUGHT UP ON STUFFING YOUR FACE AND WORRYING ABOUT HOW YOU DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY! I DIDN'T HAVE ANY FOOD! AND THE FIRST TIME I WAS EVER ACTUALLY FULL WAS WHEN I RAN AWAY! YOU DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THAT!" Once again, Draco was doing his best to keep me from murdering my brother, but this time I had gotten too angry. With a pop, I turned into a snake, and Professor Snape had to use a sticking charm on my jaw to keep me from biting Ronald in the neck. The last thing I saw before I blacked out was Dumbledore pointing his wand at me, stunning me.
Tom's PoV
The little brat Ginny was writing to me again.
My sister, Nagini, flipped out today. I learned that she ran away, and that our parents supposedly hated her. Then she TURNED INTO A SNAKE! It was crazy! Snape had to use a spell to keep her from biting Ron. I think her snake is like, really poisonous. Then Dumbledore Stunned her to make sure she didn't strangle him. It was so weird. And she's in Slytherin, the evil house, from what my parents have told me. I'm not surprised, she is REALLY evil.
Great, now she wants me to reply to her. UGH!
Maybe she just feels like they hate her. What exactly did she say?
"OUR PARENTS HATED ME, YOU IDIOT! YOU NEVER NOTICED BECAUSE YOU WERE TOO CAUGHT UP ON STUFFING YOUR FACE AND WORRYING ABOUT HOW YOU DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY! I DIDN'T HAVE ANY FOOD! AND THE FIRST TIME I WAS EVER ACTUALLY FULL WAS WHEN I RAN AWAY! YOU DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THAT!"
That sounds like they hated her. I'm pretty sure she's a maledictus, which is a female cursed to turn into one creature for the rest of their life when they are older. They also turn into that creature, in this case a snake, nightly, and if they have an uncontrollable emotion, like rage, they will turn into that creature. It sounds as if your parents believed she was evil for something she couldn't control, and feared her. Fear leads people to fo bad things, for instance, trapping their own daughter in the basement her entire life for something out of her control. Your parents are very lucky this is the first time she lost control, because if it wasn't, they would be dead. Treating a child like that can make her hate them so much, she does everything possible to destroy them, from the inside out. She will probably start with emotions, giving them depression, and finally killing them. Ron is very lucky there were teachers on the scene, or he would have died. What exactly did her snake look like?
The way she described the snake left no doubt in my mind. Her sister was a black mamba.
Nagini's PoV
I woke up in the hospital wing. I look around and see no-one. Then, a witch in white robes came in. Probably the Healer. Her name is Madame Pomfrey. She said that the transformation drained me. Like I didn't already know that. She told me to take the day off, and gave me a map of the castle. I was lucky the technical first day of school was in two days, I didn't want to miss any classes. While I was walking to the dormitories, I ran into Peeves.
"Look at this! An ickle little firstie!" he cried. Last night, I became friends with The Bloody Baron, and I am glad I did. "Peeves, I'm going to call The Bloody Baron!" He just blew a raspberry. I whistled a whistle that The Baron taught me if I ever wanted to talk to him, and he appeared out of thin air and glared at Peeves. Peeves disappeared with a crack. Then The Baron turned to face me. I gave him a friendly wave, and he smiled at me, disappearing as well.
Time Skip
The next day went the same up until we got to the Great Hall. I had turned into a snake and draped myself over Pansy's shoulders, like a giant, living scarf. When my brothers came over, they suddenly thought better of it, and turned around. Professor Snape was passing out schedules. When he reached me, he told me to go to his class first, because they needed to do an assessment on which grade I was in. I told him that I would only move up one grade if I moved up at all because I wanted to enjoy Hogwarts as long as possible. He said that could be arranged. I then asked him if he had to ask my parents' permission to move up a grade, and he said yes. I requested the request to be sent to the Malfoys, and he said that they would do what they could.
Time Skip (Yes, again, it's my story, I do what I want)
I was sitting in the potions classroom, taking all of my written tests. I then took all of my practical tests, and got an O in everything. I was dismissed, and I went to the common room, where all of the second years were hanging out. I went up to my friends and said, "All Os." Suddenly, I was engulfed in a tornado of hugs, squeals, and congratulations. We spent the rest of the day talking and laughing, and Draco sent a letter to Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy telling them about my achievement. When we went to bed, I was thinking about how I would have to suffer through classes with my brother.
Tom's PoV
Dear Tom, it's not fair! She has an IQ of 5,000, and she just got moved up a grade! She was neglected, so she's supposed to be dumb!
It sounds as though she spent her time studying old class books instead of doing whatever you were doing. Her IQ might come naturally because of her maledictus. You shouldn't think too much about it, as you got love and she didn't. Remember, she was locked in the basement and starved her entire life while her parents gorged her siblings. In fact, she even had to watch her mother force-feed a complete stranger! Just give her this, she needs something.
Ugh, you were no help at all!
Write The Chamber has been opened. Enemies of the Heir beware.
She did as I said. She then went back to the dormitories and fell asleep.
Nagini's PoV
I heard a voice, and it wasn't very nice. I followed it to an empty corridor, and saw Mrs. Norris hanging on a lamp bracket. I looked above that, and saw a bone-chilling message. I heard footsteps, so I turned into a snake. I then realized that I must be a Parselmouth. I slithered away quickly, and into the sea of people exiting the Great Hall. I quickly joined them and transformed back into a human. I met up with Draco and my friends, and we all pushed and shoved people out of our way to get to the message. I told Pansy, Daphne, Astoria, and Draco to meet me in the common at midnight. They shared confused looks, but shrugged it off. At midnight, they all came down to meet me.
"What's this about, Nagini?" Pansy asked. I took a deep breath. "I think I'm a Parselmouth." Draco moved towards me and pulled me into a side hug. Then the others joined in and we were all hugging.

There have been two other attacks since Halloween. Someone started a dueling club, and the first meet was tonight. Since the attack, I had been working with Filch nightly as a snake to catch students out of bed. We had become quite close, and once Filch learned that Peeves was scared of me, he declared me his favorite person in the world. I started helping him clean up and oversee detentions. My brothers hated me more when I did this, because they hated Filch. Anyway, back to the dueling club. We went to the Great Hall, and the first thing I saw was the idiot, Lockhart. ARGH! NOT HIM! PLEASE!
"Hello. Can you all see me?" Duh, you're in charge of it all, idiot. "Now, Professor Dumbledore has given me permission to start a dueling club in the light of recent attacks." As if a creature that's been asleep for, like, fifty years can duel. He then paired us up. The daft dimbo paired me with my idiotic brother. I will KILL HIM when I get the chance. But right now, I plan on murdering my brother. Professor Snape saw that I was paired with Ronald and gave me a thumbs up. But things didn't go as planned, and my brother started doing his best to curse me, and Draco ended up restraining me again, because, in case you didn't know, maledicti turn into their animal form if they have a particularly strong emotion, like fear. What's even worse for Ronald is that snakes, if they are scared of something, they bite whatever scared them. In other words, I spent another three hours in the hospital wing after being stunned again. Sigh.
Tom's PoV
Nagini is having a harder time controlling her emotions. If this continues, I might be able to turn her sooner than anticipated.
Molly Weasley's (Grrrrrrr) PoV
I was knitting, and heard a noise. I looked up, and there was an owl with a letter in its beak. I opened the letter and read it.
Dear Mrs. Weasley,
I have noticed that you're daughter is feeling unusually strong hatred and fear of you. She treats her family like most of the wizarding population treats Voldemort. I would strongly advise trying to treat her like your own daughter before Voldemort turns her. I understand that she is different, but as a snake, she still has her own mind. The only reason she tried to bite Ronald os because he was either shooting curses at her, or bringing back memories and being ignorant.
Sincerely,
Albus Dumbledore
So, Albus is advising me to treat my daughter like she isn't some dangerous snake. SHE RAN AWAY TO THE MALFOYS AND COULD BITE US AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT! Still, we could have helped her control it. And it's Albus Dumbledore, his judgement is never wrong. And, seeing as she was booted up a grade, if You-Know-Who got his hands on her, the Dark Side would get a very powerful witch with a strong hatred for us on their side. Sigh. Better give this a shot.
