I want to thank Slytherin66 and XxxDarknezzXx for being my first two reviewers, you guys rock! I don't own Harry Potter.

Petunia's POV

The drive to the hospital wasn't a long one. Maybe ten to fifteen minutes long. The hospital was large and the florescent lights made my headache even worst and I couldn't stop the groan of pain that came out of my mouth. Harry looked up from the coloring book one of the nurses had given him.

"Are you alright?" he asked setting down a red crayon to put a hand on my forehead. I grabbed his wrist and moved his hand from my forehead.

"I'm fine the lights just aren't helping the headache I already have," I told him with weak smile.

"I could ask a nurse if they have anything to help you or get you some water," he told me rising out of his seat to head towards the main desk. I shook me head at him. He is such a wonderful boy.

"It's alright Harry," I told him. Harry nodded and sat down turning back to the coloring book. I closed my eyes slightly in hopes to calm my headache and it did slightly. I let out a sigh of relief and decided to take a short nap.

Dream:

Harry stood in front of me his eyes blocked by his hair and his arms reaching out towards me covered in blood. I stood shocked.

"Harry what happened?" I yelled rushing towards him but froze when something behind him caught my eye. A fat by laid motionless behind him and a few feet away from the boy was a tall skinny boy with a large bloody slash across his chest and stomach. Did Harry do that?

"We can go see uncle Vernon now," Harry's voice woke me from my disturbing dream. I nodded tiredly as he helped me to feet. How could I dream such a thing? Harry would never hurt anyone. What has gotten into me lately? I followed Harry down the long white hall until we reached room 613. Slowly Harry pushed open the door and walked to the chair next to the door to sit down. Quickly I rushed to Vernon's side to take his hand in mine. Vernon looked up to meet my eyes.

"How do you feel?" I asked him with a slight tremble in my voice. Vernon made a grunt like noise when he tried to sit up but Harry quickly got up to push him back down.

"You shouldn't move to much. We wouldn't want you to get hurt anymore than you need to," Harry said and I couldn't help but hear some emotion in that sentence that I couldn't identify. Vernon nodded his head and sunk back into his pillow.

"Well Pet I really don't feel anything. The meds used here are powerful I'll tell you that," Vernon said smiling slightly.

"How are you Harry?" Vernon asked. Harry gave Vernon a wide smile.

"Fine uncle Vernon," he told him.

"That's good I would hate to see you hurt," Vernon said. Harry turned his face away and covered his mouth with his hand. I blinked at him shocked when his shoulders began to shake. [he's laughing]

"Harry are you crying?" I asked resting a hand on his arm. Harry shook his head and turned back towards us his breathing uneven. He probably didn't want to admit he was crying, that's okay. I pulled him into a hug.

"I love you Harry and I am glad your alright. You've always been like a son to me," I said. I heard him mumble something back and smiled into his hair.

[One year later, he's nine now]

Harry's snake Anguis POV

"Wake up Harry breakfast is ready!" rang into my speaker's large room. I waited for him to get up but all he did was roll over and hiss something about skulls under his breathe. Slowly I slithered across my speaker's blanket until I was next to his ear.

"Speaker breakfast is waiting down stairs," I hissed in his ear hoping to wake him up. A pale clawed hand reached out to pet my smooth black and red scales making me his in pleasure. Two large emerald cat like eyes stared at me from under ink black bangs.

"Thank you for letting me know Anguis," he said sitting up. Suddenly a dark glow surrounded him and once it disappeared his appearance was once again normal.

"I shall be taking a trip to the garden now speaker," I said slithering off the bed and towards the hallway.

"How many times have I told you to call me at least Harry if not My Lord," speaker said annoyed before slipping out of the bed.

"Five times," I hissed before disappearing out of speaker's view.

Petunia's POV

"Good morning Auntie," a soft voice said from behind me suddenly. I jumped in the air with a startled yelp and turned to see me nephew with a small smile on his face. A rested my hand on my heart.

"How many times have I told you not to sneak up on my like that," I said. Harry shrugged and slipped into a seat at the table. I walked to the table carrying one plate full of bacon and another full of eggs and sausage. Once I set the two plates at the center of the table I turned towards the cupboard to get out three plates and set them on the table. The sound of loud footsteps alerted me that Vernon had entered the kitchen.

"Morning Vernon," I said turning as he slipped into his chair.

"Good morning uncle," Harry said taking a bite of bacon. I sat in the seat to his left and grabbed some bacon off his plate. He gave me a puzzled look.

"Morning Pet, Harry did you get a good sleep?" Vernon asked. Harry nodded and reached to get more bacon.

"No you don't young man. You already have ten pieces on your plate you don't need anymore," I told him moving the plate of bacon out of his reach. He gave me a small glare but soon turned back to his own plate.

"I had a good sleep uncle Vernon though Anguis got a little cold," Harry said. Vernon gave Harry a confused look.

"Who is Anguis?" Vernon asked. I rolled my eyes. Vernon always forgets.

"Remember dear Anguis his Harry's pet snake he got last year for Christmas," I reminded him.

"Oh yes I remember now," Vernon said nodding his head.

"Speaking of Christmas what do you want it is coming up in less than a month," I told Harry. He had a thoughtful expression and then a large smile spread across his face.

"A book on demons and their habit, powers, restriction and summoning," Harry said completely serious.

"Where do you expect to find a book like that?" Vernon asked.

"Knockturn Alley which is located near Diagon Alley," I spit the orange juice I was drinking all of the table.

"Did you say Diagon Alley?" I asked shocked. How did he know?

"Yes. Of course I will go and buy it myself you just need to drive me there," he said. Vernon got an outraged look.

"We are not taking you there so you can get corrupted by those freaks you are our nephew and we wont stand for it!" Vernon shouted. A dark look passed over Harry's face when I nodded in agreement. His head was bowed and suddenly I felt bad about letting Vernon yell at him.

"Harry I'm-" But my voice died in my throat when Harry's eyes met mine. They were large, unnaturally large and the pupils were thin like a cats. When he opened his mouth it revealed rows of white pointed teeth, the canines far longer than the others.

"Listen you stupid muggle I will not allow you to treat me with such disrespect. But since the blood wards will alert Dumbledore that one of you have died I'll just settle with erasing your memories, again," he said standing up slowly. Again? He reached out both of his clawed hand and pointed one at each of our foreheads. The memory of this conversation danced across my vision then I blacked out.

Still Petunia's POV

"So how about it?" Harry's voice woke me up and I turned to face him.

"What did you say I must have dosed of, getting up early to make this breakfast must have made me tired," I said taking a bite of eggs.

"I asked if I could get some more fantasy books to read," he told me. I nodded my head.

"Of course Harry," I said.

Petunia was blissfully unaware of the large red and black snake that was slithering down the hall behind her dragging a small body with it.

Anguis is Latin for snake by the way. I hope you liked it! Please review.
