Chapter 2.

Harry's 14th birthday was a amazingly good one. His parents had spoiled him to no end and he was with his Uncle Sirius and Uncle Remus in the Black family manor. 12 Grimmauld Place.

Harry was enjoying playing quiddtch in a specially prepared room with Ron. the twins and even Hermione. Although Hermione was not really doing anything. Just flying round the corner of the room trying to get to grips with her broom. then a loud thud mad Harry and Ron turn around to see what had happened. They laughed when they saw Hermione sprawled on the floor with her broom right next to her. She was trying to get up when she moaned and layed down and closed her eyes. Harry and Ron flew straight down and landed next to her."Hermione, are you ok?" Hermione opened her eyes and blushed.

"Owwww, you guys actually care." She smiled as Harry and Ron jaws dropped and they had a look of disbelief on their faces.

"You... actually... pulled a prank." Ron and Harry were gobsmacked. The twins came down and looked even more surprised. Hermione!! A prank!!

"You Know guys i am not totally incapable of pulling a prank."

"Really!" Harry had a cheeky grin on his face. Hermione looked scared. Harry leaned down and whispered something in her ear. Then she started to grin and quickly told Ronald what Harry was thinking. Ronald then started to tell the others how they would do it. The twins were beginning to think that today would b really fun. Oh! Grimmauld Place would be in for a real good surprise. At dinner!!

Harry and the Twins were in their positions. There was a order meeting going on and their job was to make sure everyone was in the room when it happened. Right now the order were talking about a girl that Harry had not heard of since she had shouted at him and stalked off. Now that he remembered it he scowled. It was her fault. She just had to put herself into each task and almost kill herself. And just to get attention! How bad was she. Harry then remembered how she claimed that she didn't but Professor Moody did. He didn't believe her then but then when Professor Moody turned out to be Barty's Crouch's Son, he began to doubt if she was telling the truth. But by then it was too late and he still didn't believe her now. To him she was a attention seeking idiot. And he didn't want to see her again. But he was interested in what Dumbledore had to say. So he listen more intently. Not noticing that behind him shadows where walking past him through the house. The Twins were looking at Harry's reacting seeing if he was still going to do the prank, but he looked determined. Harry was now really interested as Dumbledore had asked for quiet.

Dumbledore was thinking of what to say. "Now, Order of the Phoenix... I hav... I have some news which i think everyone will want to hear." Everyone fell silent. James and lily looked worried and James said " What is it Albus?"

"Well it is about Abby." Everyone in the room froze.

"what about abby?"

"I think she may be coming back soon and she is... i think... she is half snake." James was now in shock and Lily was close to fainting.

"why do you think she is coming back albus?" Lupin chipped in.

"well, i think it is because of the prophecy."

"That is true. Dumbledore." The hiss echoed through the house, the order that was gathered jumped up and whipped out their wands. Their wands where wrenched from their hands as the door was blown apart. the aurors were thrown to the other side of the room. Harry and the Twins were horrified with what was going on and Harry tried to get up from where he was hidden but the Twins stopped him by telling him he could do nothing but give himself to voldemort to get killed. He saw he could do nothing to help so decided to stay quiet.

The quiet didn't stay quiet for very long.

Charlotte had been unconcious for a whole two days and now the founders were getting worried as she was scrunched up in a lot of pain but still unconcious. Helga found this very strange and couldn't figure out why she was in a lot of pain. There was nothing physically wrong with her. There was also no mental problems as far as Helga could see. Although it was hard for Helga to admit there was nothing she could do except make her comfortable. NOT in the hospital wing as Helga knew Charlotte hated the place. So helga put her in her own bed and placed chairs around for the visitors. Well the four of them. Helga sighed. There WAS nothing she could do to help.

It had been a week since she collasped and Salazer was whispering prayers by her bed. In parseltounge of course. He didn't want Godric to hear what he was saying. He would never live it down.

"Please wake up Charlotte. Godric is annoying me to know end and nobody is any fun anymore. Please i am going to go mad!!!"

By that... tone in your... voice... you already have.." Charlotte voice cracked and she moaned. Salazar looked up to her face, "Charlotte..." He couldn't believe it. He rubbed his eyes and looked again... and saw the biddest and most painful smirk she had ever showed him. She moaned and Godric shifted from his sleeping position on the chair next to Charlottes bed. Salazer rose to wake him but she stopped him. "No i will wake him myself. But to speak you must translate. Speaking english is too difficult at the moment." Salazar nodded and sat back down waiting for the show to begin. Firstly Charlotte made a ball of water come and wait just above Godric head as if that if it was slighly touched it would break and then She threw her pillow at him. He woke with a fright and a jump...

"OWWWW, THAT IS COLD WATER. Salazar what did i tell you about pranking with cold WATER! you know i hate the stuff." Godric then looked from a smirking Salazar to and even bigger smirking Charlotte. "You did it. I can't believe you did it after all i ha..." Godric tailed of looking confused and then the lightbulb turned on. Finally. "Charlotte! you're awake oh are you all right? what was the matter? Why did it happen? Why was it a week?"

"Sssss Ssss SS SssS SsSsssS sssSSSsss." Godric looked to Salazer."What did she say?"

"She said, Thickhead, That she can only speak parseltounge as english is too painful."

"Well that means you can only speak to him then!" Charlotte nodded."That is so unfair."

"sSssssS SSssSssss SssS SsSSsss"

"She said yes it may be but that is not her problem. It's yours. So deal with it." Sometimes he was so thick.

"I will not." Salazar rolled his eyes and watched Charlotte roll into a peaceful sleep for the first time. Godric was still rantong so Salazar put a silencing spell on him. Godric huffed and stormed out. Salazar stayed for a while. Tomorrow would be better.
