Harry yawned as he felt warm rays of morning light peck at his face, warming his skin. He felt a cool breeze whisper through the open window beside his bed and ruffle his hair, helping him wake up slightly.
Harry slowly heaved himself into a sitting position and rubbed his eyes, yawning again.
"OHAYO!"
Harry's eyes snapped open and he stared.
Sitting at the end of his bed was what looked like (He didn't have is glasses on. He had to guess.) a slightly smaller than a quaffle-sized orange and purple toad.
Harry and the toad stared at eachother for a few minuites.
"Hey. Whatcha staring at me for? Huh? I want a snack!" croaked the toad.
Harry groped on his bedside table for his glasses and shoved them onto his nose. Yep. It was a toad alright...
"What-- I mean... Who are you?" blinked Harry, staring at the toad.
"The name is Gamakichi!" grinned the toad, revealing pale pink gums. "And you're Potter Harry, right?"
"... It's 'Harry Potter' and yes. That's me..." Harry said slowly, finding it a little odd to be talking to a toad.
Gamakichi waved a orange toad hand dismissively. "Whatever. I want my stack!"
Harry looked at the toad for a few more moments, then groped around in his bedside cabinet, bringing out a box of chocolate frogs.
"EEEH! What do you think i am, punk! I'm not a cannibal!" shrieked Gamakichi loudly.
There were a few snorts and squeaks from around the room, signaling that Gamakichi had successfully woken everyone in the dormitory up.
"What the fuck, Harry?" moaned Ron's voice, Ron's mattress squeaking loudly, telling Harry he had a matter of seconds to hide Gamakichi before Ron came over, opened the curtains around Harry's bed and noticed the toad.
Harry went to grab Gamakichi but he slipped though his fingers like soap.
"Fine! I'll get my own snacks!" croaked Gamakichi moodily, pulling open Harry's curtains and hopping down from Harry's bed and onto the floor with a slightly wet 'thud-squish' on the floor.
Harry looked at Dean, Nevil, Ron and Seamus. All of whom were looking from Harry to the toad that was squishing it's way to the door. Ron was standing beside his bed, Nevil was lying on the floor, one leg still under the covers, he had obviously fallen out of bed at Gamakichi's sudden shriek, and the other two were sitting bolt-upright in bed, staring at Gamakichi.
"W-Wait!" Harry called, scrambling out of his bed.
Gamakichi turned around and looked up at Harry. "Waddiya want, punk?"
"If I give you a snack, what will you do for me?" asked Harry, squatting down so he was reasonably eye-to-eye or at least eye-to-knee with Gamakichi.
Gamakichi scratched his head lightly with an orange finger before shrugging. "Anything you want, kid!"
Harry shrugged. "Okay. I'll get dressed and i'll take you down to breakfast." he said, standing up and walking over to his trunk, not really caring about the fact that everyone was staring at him, nor about what people were going to think when he rocks up at the hall with a bright orange toad either. The toad might be useful.
Meanwhile, on the floor, Gamakichi grinned to himself. 'Naruto-chan is gonna be happy with me now! He won't mind that i ran off!'
Harry got dressed and introduced Gamakichi to Ron, Nevil, Dean and Seamus. Nevil seemed delighted, having to be owning a toad of his own, though not as bright as Gamakichi. Dean had been surprised, yet amazed. Ron seemed skeptical, yet amazed. And Seamus seemed to have a thing about not wanting to touch things that can offend you about your hair.
Harry half-wondered where Naruto was, but he just shrugged it off. He packed his school bag silently, glancing at his timetable that Gamakichi was holding up for him.
Care of Magical Creatures was up first. But that wasn't for at least an hour. And maybe Hagrid could tell him what kind of enchanted toad Gamakichi was.
Anyway, breakfast.
Harry slung is school bag over his shoulder, then felt something fall onto his head. He looked up and raised his eyebrows, Gamakichi grinned down at him.
Ron sniggered and slung his own bag over his own shoulder.
"I can see it now!" chuckled Ron, slapping Harry on the back "'Harry Potter! Taxi for Tired Toads'!"
Harry could help not to grin, picking Gamakichi off his head and holding him for a second, frowning a bit. He couldn't put Gamakichi in his bag unless he oozes over his books, he couldn't walk around with a toad on his head all day...
Harry sighed and placed Gamakichi on his shoulder, Gamakichi immediately steadying himself and sitting there as though he did this every day.
"Snack! Snack! Snack! Snack!" chanted Gamakichi, bouncing up and down on Harry's shoulder a little.
"Alright! Alright!" sighed Harry, grabbing Ron by the wrist and dragging him out of the door since Ron seemed to be having a chortling fit and was unable to navigate himself out of the dormitory.
Harry entered the common room and was about to walk out the portrait hole when there was a squeal behind him.
Harry and Ron whipped around so fast Gamakichi nearly toppled off Harry's shoulder.
"HARRY! OH GOOD LORD! WHAT IS THAT?" squealed Hermione, rushing up to him. She probably had been sitting in one of their favorite chairs, waiting for them.
"Oh. Hermione, this is Gamakichi." said Harry lazily, motioning from Hermione to Gamakichi.
"Hiyo!" grinned Gamakichi, waving at Hermione with an orange hand.
"H-Hi!" squeaked Hermione, staring at Gamakichi for a moment, before rounding on Harry and Ron.
"What makes you think he's not one of... Y'know... You-Know-Who's pets or something?" whispered Hermione urgently.
Harry shook his head. "Voldemort uses snakes." Harry said simply, ignoring Ron and Hermione's light flinches.
"Who's Voldemort?"
Harry, Ron and Hermione stared at Gamakichi.
"Is he another snake pervert? Geez... Some day those two snake perverts are gonna take over the world..." sighed Gamakichi, heaving himself a little more comfortably onto Harry's shoulder.
"... 'Snake pervert'...?" Ron asked slowly.
"... 'Another'...?" asked Hermione.
"Wtf?" said Harry.
"SNACK!" roared Gamakichi into Harry's ear, causing Harry to yelp and clap his hand over it.
Hermione, Ron and Harry walked to get some breakfast, mulling over what Gamakichi had let slip, Harry massaging his ringing ear. There was more than one Voldemort...?
((TBC. nothing much happens in this. sorry! DX and to those who tell me my chapters are too short; i know. but i prefer to write short interesting chapters than long boring ones. and squishing four or more chapters into one is a bit excessive and it'll take longer for me to update. x.x anyway, thanks for reading, and i'll try to update soon.
