Harry goes to Hogwarts next chapter!!!!

Chapter 9

Protect Your Jewel's, It's Dragon Time!

It had been six days since the meeting with Dumbledore and at the present moment Harry, Archer and Clyde were walking through Diagon ally looking for Harry's school supplies.

"Archer" whined Harry "Can we go home now?"

"No Harry" sighed Archer "We still have to get some owl treats for Hedwig and then we can go home, ok?"

"Fine" sighed Harry as they walked through the doors of the pet store.

"We'll go and get the treats and you can wander around for a bit, ok?" said Clyde.

Harry sighed and went to the back of the shop where all the reptiles were.

He moved around for a bit until he heard a strange hissing "Stupid humans, putting me in a cage and leaving me, if I ever get my tail on them I'll bite them good!"

Harry laughed and walked over to where the hissing was coming from.

He looked into the cage to see a big snake that looked like it could curl around his body three times and still have some left over.

It was black with deep purple and silver stripes down the side.

The snake looked up at him when he lent over the cage "Mmm Dinner!" it said flicking its tongue to smell him.

Harry laughed again "No I'm not dinner".

The snake looked up at him with interest "You speak?"

Harry grinned at it "What do you think?"

Harry stuck his arm in the cage and watched as the snake curled up his arm, coming to rest over his shoulders.

"What is your name?" asked Harry.

"My name is Harper" said the snake "and what is your's?"

"Harry" he answered "Would you like to come with me?"

Harper perked up at this "Do you have mice?"

Harry laughed "I can get you as many as you like, and when I don't have any you can just go out and hunt".

Harper grinned at him in a snakinsh way "Then I shall go with you".

As Harry walked back to the front of the store he could feel Harper's tail curl around his mid-section in a protective hold.

He looked down at Harper "Why do you do that?"

"Because" answered Harper "I can feel the life inside you, and since you are now my Master I will protect your Hatchlings".

Harry laughed and gave her a pat "What kind of snake are you anyway?"

"I am a Midnight Blue, we are a breed of magical snake and originate from Egypt" answered Harper.

Harry looked down at her curiously "How is being a magical snake different from being a normal snake?"

"Well" she answered "Magical snakes have powers, take me for instance, I can kill or paralyze with my bite, I can grow to be three times as long as I am now and I have the power to protect my Master, so if you were attacked I could send out a magical shield that would protect you".

"Whoa" breathed Harry.

As he made it to the front of the store he could see Archer and Clyde at the register, paying for the treats.

As he walked up to the counter the man behind it gasped and made a faint gagging sound in the back of his throat.

"How much for the snake?" asked Harry not noticing the man at all.

"I-I-It's f-free, take it, please take it, take it away from me, far, far away!!"

"Ok!!" said Harry walking out the door, he could faintly hear the man behind him talking about Lollypop snakes and Candy Bears.

Harper gave a hiss of a laugh and then went to sleep.

"So Harry" said Archer "Who's your new friend?"

"This is Harper" he answered "Isn't she beautiful?"

"Yeah" said Clyde reaching out and running his hand along her scales.

"Well Harry" said Archer "School start's tomorrow, I'm sure we'll all have soo much fun!"

"Yeah" said Harry sarcastically "Almost as much fun as waking up to find a Dragon about to breath fire on your-

"OK!!" cut in Clyde "I think it's time to go home don't you".

And with that both Archer and Clyde grabbed Harry tugging him towards the Floo Network Harry grumbling all the way".
