Hey! So. I know that a lot of you guys want Alicia Spinnet. A lot of you guys want Luna Lovegood. Unfortunately, the two have tied so I don't know which one to choose. I'll decide which one to use later. For now, a lot of you guys were really missing this series so I'm back! Remember! Property Of Tom Marvolo Riddle will not replace this story in priority. I want to finish this one first so I can focus on PoTMR. thanks for your support guys and girls. I really never thought my ideas would be so popular. Thanks.

I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER OR IT'S EXTENDED UNIVERSE!

Chapter 6: Deadleyecondra

Harry was walking down the corridor towards the backyard. His best friend (and also his nicknamed mum) told Harry she had a friend wanting to meet him. When Harry exited the back door, he saw a black snake slithering towards him.

"Harry Potter." It hissed constantly. Harry started walking backward. Harry stepped into the house and took cover behind a couch cushion.

"Harry Potter." It kept repeating. Suddenly, his mum slithered down his shivering arm and yelled at the black snake.

"Stop! You're scaring the boy." His mum yelled. Harry didn't know what was happening. Was this the friend she wanted Harry to meet?

"Hello?" Harry asked through clenched teeth. Harry was growing goosebumps when the snake-like creature rose its tail? It looked more like a scorpion stinger to him.

"So he can speak. Nice to see you in person. Before I had to stalk you through the windows." The black snake said. It was talking like Harry and it were both friends. The snake stared at the emerald one before it started to talk again. "Aren't you going to introduce me or do I have to introduce myself?" The black snake asked while smirking. "Gah! The guest service is horrible here! At least the last house I entered had free food! Oh yes. That feline was delicious."

Harry snake had an angry glint in her eye. "You! Did you actually enter the cat lady's house?"

The black snake started trembling with fear, Harry could sense it somehow. He decided to ask his mom about this later. For now, he wanted to know why a snake with a stinger for a tail barged into his house. At least his aunt was at a doctor's appointment with Dudley in tow.

"I-I was joking! Sheesh! Can't you get a joke? You've got to have somebody in each group of three to provide comic relief!" The black snake laughed. Harry could sense that the laugh was full of fear. Fear of what though? Harry's snake, on the other hand, looked confused.

"What is comic relief?" She asked. The black snake just sighed.

"I do not know. I just heard some human saying it while laughing. I didn't get why he was laughing. For one thing, nobody was hurt. They were just talking."

"It's called a joke." Harry blurted. "It's when someone tells somebody else something funny." Harry felt much better after he spoke.

"Tell me, Speaker." There it goes. For once, a snake was calling him by his real name. 'Guess we're back to Speaker.' Harry thought. "Tell me a 'joke.'"

Harry sat down. Thinking for a moment. He then remembered a joke he heard Dudley tell one of his friends. "Why did the chicken cross the road?"

"What?" His mother asked.

"Why did the chicken cross the road?" Harry repeated.

"I don't get it. Why did it cross the road?" The black snake asked with curiosity.

"To cross the road!" Harry grinned. But by the reception that the two snakes were getting, Harry knew it wasn't as funny as he remembered.

"Why would you waste a perfectly good chicken? I heard you ate a raw post-owl once. You even ate my rats! Why not the chicken?" Harry felt hot and sweaty at the black snake's comment. He was still trying to forget about that one time. At least he knew where the rats came from.

"We-well I think it was just because I was so excited. You know- Just adrenaline." That sounded much more stupid out loud than in Harry's head.

"Really?" The black snake asked the emerald one. "You did not explain anything?" Harry's snake just shook its head.

"I was waiting for you. It would be easier as you know more about the magical world." The black one nodded in understanding.

"Let us start from the top. You are a wizard." Harry nodded. He wanted to learn more so he kept quiet. "You are also a rare breed of human known as a parselmouth. Parselmouths can speak an ancient tongue known as parseltounge. Parseltoungue is the language of serpents, snakes, and certain reptiles. Including certain dragons." Harry nodded once more. 'I can talk to dragons! Wait until Dudley sees that!" Harry excitedly said in his head.

"But you must not abuse your power. The one who left that mark," The snake pointed at his forehead. "was a parseltoungue. He was a Dark, dark wizard. Heard stories of how he killed your family." Harry gasped. His parents didn't die in a car crash! "You do not want to become him. Do you?" Harry shook his head even though he was subconsciously plotting on ways to get back at his parent's killer.

"Do you know what my parents were called?" He asked. Harry wanted to know as much as possible.

"I've heard people whispering. I'm pretty sure your mother was named Lily Evans. Your father, I don't know. You will indefinitely, however, discover his name when you head for Hogwarts. I presume your snake has already explained and informed you about wizards and witches?" Harry nodded once more. "Perfect. Because I am here to explain to you about the rest."

"I, like all other serpents, do not have a name. We don't even know names exist. I, however, was told by your snake here. If you wish to name me, go ahead." The snake drawled out. It was like it was nervous to get a name. "I am male if that helps."

Harry dug deep into his own mind. He moved his hand towards the snake's scales and smoothed them out. They were rough at first but then became calm and smooth. The texture and purity of water could be felt.

"Agua." Harry finally decided. "Agua will be your name."

"Very well Speaker. May I ask? What does Agua mean?" Agua tilted his head while speaking.

"I have a teacher who can speak Spanish. She calls water Agua. I like the sound of it so..." Harry dragged out. He could smell something while he was talking. The smell was familiar. He knew that smell! It smelled exactly the same as the perfume Petunia used in the morning. She would spray it around and drench the whole upstairs region. Wait! Somehow he smelled his aunt. But how? Harry brushed that off as another question to ask his snakes.

"Come on! my aunt's back!" Harry shouted in a hushed tone. He tried carrying the heavy snake. Impossible. Harry ushered it out the house. He grabbed his emerald snake and let it wrap itself around Harry's arm.

"I knew she was coming! I could smell that ugly spray. The question is: How did you smell her?" She asked as the shadow of Aunt Petunia and Dudley Dursley crept towards the window. Harry quickly ran into his cupboard whispering "Talk later" to his snake.

Harry could hear his aunt walking up the stairs. He could smell Dudley. He was still stinking. Harry sniggered at that. He was still suffering from his little revenge. Harry could also smell an extremely strong chemical smell. 'Must be medication.' He thought.

"Are you going to explain or what?" His snake asked.

"That was something I wanted to ask you about," Harry replied.

"Well, you could ask me about it. I'm sure that I can answer." He heard the smooth voice of Agua. Followed by a scream. Why did his life have to be so complicated?

This was a shorter chapter. I need to study for a Math test that's coming up. My English teacher is also getting on my nerves about my writing. (If only she could see me now.) I'll try to put up another chapter soon but now I need to study. Well, bye.

P.S: I'll decide if I should use Alicia or Luna by next chapter!

P.S.S: I hope.
