Hello!
Here is the next chapter! I am so glad that y'all are enjoying this little thing. Thank you so much; sorry that I left you with the cliffy!
Disclaimer: I am not J.K. Rowling. I do not own Harry Potter nor do I make any money from this writing.
His blood tastes amazing, I thought to myself as I continued to drink down Harry's blood like a vampire. I should have bitten someone a long time ago; this shit is addicting! I took another gulp and pushed my fangs deeper into the soft neck. I let my other senses come back to the forefront of my mind and chuckled in amusement when I heard a high pitched screaming from Russ's friend rather than Harry. Harry was absolutely immobile; when I bit I had made sure to inject a paralyzing agent into his blood stream. It would do him no harm, and would allow me to finish my business. I was curled all around Harry's body; most of my body was wrapped around his chest and my tail was resting right above his groin. My body's color was pulsing from black to silver as I continued to drink and the magic surged in the room.
"The snake bit Harry! The snake bit Harry! The motherfucking snake bit HARRY and is fucking drinking his blood like a god damn vampire!" Greg screamed as I watched out him out of the corner of my eye. He was dancing around like he had ants in his pants, and shoving Russ around frantically screaming his head off. "Oh my God! Don't walk toward the light short stuff! Whatever you do, do not walk towards the light! I will save you! Who the fuck owns a vampire snake anyways? I can't believe this! Short stuff is too young to die!" And with that the man ran out of the room screaming for the Healer that he had saw when he went back to get Russ.
I watched with a critical eye as Russ just stood, frozen, watching me drinking Harry's blood. He was confused, I could tell. He knew that snakes do not drink blood unless we were forming a bond with someone. The amount of blood that we took determined what type of bond and how strong the bond was. I had only discovered this information recently; Russ had left a book open about snake bonds the other day and being the curious snake that I was, I curled up on top of the book and read it while Russ was dealing with another rogue snake. Ever since I gave him the ability to be immune to all snake venoms, he was called all over the world to deal with magical snakes. And he got paid for it. He owed me.
I took one last gulp, feeling the little voice in my head telling me that I had taken enough blood for the bond, and then brought all of the venom that I had stored to my fangs. I opened my mouth wide making sure to keep my fangs embedded deep, and then swallowed, my black mouth open ominously. I heard Russ gasped at the sight of my long fangs deep in Harry's skin.
"I hope to God you know what you are doing beautiful, and who you are doing this too," Russ's voice said sadly as he watched me arch my back and then surge forward, digging my fangs in deeper to allow the venom to spread faster. Russ's friend, whose voice annoyed the hell out of me, came running back into the room with the Healer and Henry right behind him. I watched everyone with wary eyes as the scene before me played out.
"Short stuff you better have not walked into the light! I brought help!" Russ's friend yelled as he charged forward with his hands held out ready to rip me off of Harry. I opened my black mouth and let my forked tongue dance against Harry's skin, and then I hissed as Russ's friend continued to come towards me and my mate.
"Greg you can't do that!" Russ yelled as he grabbed Greg's arm and pulled the man back with a quick jerk. I chuckled to myself as the small man stumbled backwards and flailed his arms about.
"And why the hell not?" Greg exclaimed as he floundered to get his footing back. I watched as Russ gave a glare to Henry who was also creeping forward to me and Harry, and the man stopped right in his tracks and retreated. The Healer didn't even try to move.
"Because dipshit, they are forming a bond. Harry is not dying and nor will he die from the bite later on," Russ said as he released Greg and turned back to me with an indifferent look in his eyes. I pushed the last of my venom into Harry's neck and then removed my fangs once I also added the anti-paralysis venom into his blood stream. Sometimes being a magical snake was awesome.
"What, that does not make any sense at all! A snake and a wizard cannot make a bond for fucks sake!" Greg huffed.
"And that is why you pierce people's skin dipshit. You do not understand magical animals and their instincts. Wizards and snakes can form a multitude of bonds depending on the scent of the wizard to the snake. For example…" I tuned Russ's voice out. He could go on for hours about snakes. Besides I was eager to watch my mate wake up.
I flicked my tongue over Harry's neck again, and nuzzled the bite mark watching as the holes started to disappear before my eyes. Fucking awesome, I said to myself as I moved my body anxiously.
The movement that I made seemed to help wake up my mate so I moved a little more just because I was impatient. I pulled myself back and hovered just in front of his face, staring eagerly at the beautiful face of my mate who was blinking sleepy eyes. Harry's lifted his arms up on either side of me and rubbed his eyes while yawning widely.
"Whaaa… What is going on?" Harry asked sleepily. The lecture that was going on behind me stopped suddenly.
So damn adorable, I swooned and said in my head.
"Who said that?" Harry asked as he opened his eyes fully and blinked rapidly, trying to adjust to the light in the room. He groggily looked around, trying to readjust to his surroundings.
That would be me, my mate.
"Who said what short stuff?" Greg asked as he warily took a step forward. I turned around and hissed when I saw that his eyes were roaming up and down my mate. Immediately he stepped back with a frightened expression plastered on his face.
Harry blinked confused, and then focused his eyes on me when I turned around and looked at him.
"Why is there a snake in front of my face?" Harry asked as he stared at me warily. I watched with amusement as his eyes darted around the room nervously.
"Apparently you are now bonded with the snake," Greg said as he rolled his eyes dramatically, "Or at least that is what Russ here says. I don't believe him. I mean, how in the holy hell can a wizard bond with a snake? It just doesn't make sense."
Harry snorted and I moved my head closer to his body heat, "You have been around the smell of alcohol for too long Greg; it has been killing your brain cells off rapidly."
I hissed in amusement and curled myself around Harry's neck so that my head rested on the top of his shoulder and I could see the men in front of us. He is an amusing man to listen to. Are you sure that he is a wizard? He doesn't seem to know anything about magical creatures which he should have learned about in school. I told Harry silently as I watched Russ run off into a back room; probably to find a book about snake bonds just so he could prove Greg wrong.
Harry stiffened for a moment and then replied, Yes I am sure that he is…Is anyone even there? Jesus…I feel stupid. I am thinking a thought that no one else can probably even hear.
That is where you are wrong o' mate of mine. I can hear you perfectly. I said back amused as Harry jumped and twisted his head so that he could see me lying on his shoulder.
Bloody hell; I am speaking to you in my head…Of course something like this would happen to me just when my life was starting to become somewhat normal. And when in the bloody hell did you move to my shoulder? Harry asked as he gestures about widely. I watched his hands and chuckled; I never knew that Harry Potter was such an animated person.
You were never meant to have a normal life Harry, and I moved when you were talking to Greg, or as I like to call him blabber boy. He can never seem to shut up; all of the snakes complain when he comes around because he will talk to Russ for hours without ever shutting up.
Harry snorted. That sounds like Greg. He could talk to a stone and enjoy it. And blabber boy? I like it.
Why thank you! I thought of it all by myself. I also call Henry boy wonder.
What do you want, a mouse or something as a reward? Harry asked amused. He stiffened when I moved my head and lightly bit along his neck in reprimand.
No I am full, but I would like the credit of giving you the name. And Harry you should know that my venom cannot cause you harm anymore. As my mate you are protected from ever being harmed by my venom and the venom of my brothers and sisters. I felt Harry relax indefinitely under me.
Well then the credit for the name is all yours, and thank you for telling me about the venom thing. It is just…Well you are a magical snake and I have never had a snake before. Wait, what kind of snake are you?
I am a Black Mamba.
I watched as Harry blanched. A Black Mamba? Holy shit! You are like one of the deadliest snakes in the world!
I chuckled and smugly said, Why yes I am; thank you for noticing.
Harry nodded and absentmindedly lifted a hand to pet along my scales. At least I know that I will never be attacked now. Only a stupid person would attack a fellow with a Black Mamba as his mate.
I chuckled and ran my nose up and down Harry's neck, covering him in my scent so I could easily find him if the need arouse and so others would know that Harry was taken. You would be surprised how many people would be stupid enough. Harry shivered a little and stopped petting my scales before he calmed down and got used to the sensation of my cold nose running up and down; I flicked my tongue out and tasted him making him jump. Yumm, chocolate and pine trees.
Umm, what exactly are you doing? Harry asked me as I continued to taste and mark him with my smell.
I am marking you.
Marking me? Harry squeaked unintelligently.
Yes, marking you. I am covering you in my scent so that other snakes and creatures know that you are taken. I will not allow others to get close to my mate. I am very possessive and you are a beautiful mate that many are sure to be taken by.
I quirked my head when Harry made a distressed type noise in his throat. Umm… Well I am flattered that you find me beautiful, but isn't that a little overboard? You have already bit me and injected your venom into my bloodstream. Harry stopped and grumbled under his breath for a minute about fucking insane snakes jumping him without a warning. Shouldn't that be enough to keep others away? And how are we mates exactly?
No. I answered simply as I continued to move around his neck marking him as mine. Pretty soon the rest of my long scaly body was also moving over his chest and stomach. I found the situation entirely amusing; Harry was standing as stiff as a board waiting for me to finish marking him. I wondered when he was going to find out that I would have to mark him like this every day, and what his reaction would be. I smirked and decided that his reaction would be worth not telling him.
You never answered my other question Mr. Snake. Harry said to me when I offered no further reply.
I know. I chuckled when Harry huffed, but made no other attempts to get the answer out of me. Instead he focused on the conversation that was taking place in front of him. Russ had finally come back from the back room with a book about snake and wizard bonds in his hand, and he was currently lecturing Henry, Greg, and the Healer about the different types of bonds that a snake could make with a wizard.
"So as I said before depending on the amount of blood that the snake takes, the type of snake, and the amount of venom that is released into the wizard's bloodstream by the snake determines the type of bond that is formed. There are four different types of bonds that can be formed and they are the familiar bond, the protector bond, the assistant bond, and the mate bond. Each bond has a different purpose and each one is unique depending on the wizard and snake that enter the bond."
"For instance sometimes in a protector bond, a snake will be more aggressive in one bond than the other because the wizard has a shorter temper than the other wizard. Now I am going to estimate that because of the amount of blood that Beautiful here," Russ gestured to me, "took and the amount of venom that he put into Harry, they have formed a mate bond or an assistant bond. Both are good bonds and very helpful to both the wizard and snake. With the assistant bond, Harry will be able to draw upon Beautiful's magic and knowledge. Most snakes are very knowledgeable and very intelligent; Beautiful here is no exception."
"Now the mate bond is rarer and the hardest snake bond to form because the snake has to be powerful enough to break through the wizard's natural mind shields and connect their minds together. Yes Henry before you ask, the snake and wizard can talk to each other telepathically. Anyways, more blood is taken from the wizard and almost three pints of venom is pumped into the wizard's bloodstream. There is a risk that the wizard's body will not accept the venom too, so death is an often occurrence when this bond is being formed. There are restrictions to both the wizard and snake in the mate bond though. The snake can never be more than a mile from their mate, the snake must have some kind of fluid from their mate, usually semen, often but depending on the snake determines how often they need it, and the snake must mark their mate with their scent every day. I think that just about covers snake bonds, any questions?" Russ breathed in deeply and looked around expectantly. Henry looked godsmacked, the Healer was frowning as if she was thinking really hard about something, and Greg…Well Greg just looked like Greg.
"What in the bloody fuck…How…Holy great mother of Circe, I am so lost," Greg said exasperated as he flung his arms back dramatically and sat down in a chair behind him, narrowly avoiding a snake enjoying the warmth of a nearby heat lamp. "This is why I am a tattoo artist! So I don't have to learn all of that nonsense!"
I should bite the annoying human. Almost sitting on me like I am a bloody pillow. Stupid humans; they should all die in a blazing fire. The snake hissed angrily before continuing to grumble unintelligently and moving away. I chuckled in agreement, and looked at my mate who was frowning and staring at the opposite wall.
"That was like an overload of information Russ. Dumb it down next time man; my head hurts. Out of that whole lecture all that I got was that the Black Mamba and Harry have formed a bond, yes?" Henry asked Russ. Russ sighed and sat down, putting his head in his hands.
I let out a hiss of amusement and nodded my head up and down when everyone turned to look at me curiously.
Greg jumped up screaming, "Oh bloody hell I have lost my mind. I am now seeing snakes answering questions!" He moaned.
"Calm the fuck down," Harry snapped to Greg when his moaning ceased to exist.
"But…But…He…The snake…" Greg went to start again, but a quick look from Harry and the man shut his mouth and started to pout. Harry grinned satisfied that he had managed to get Greg to shut up before he even started.
He is so annoying. How do you deal with him? I asked my mate. I was already annoyed with him and the man had only opened his mouth a couple times around me.
With great difficulty, but he is loyal and good friend. You be nice to him. Harry replied to me in his mind. I grudgingly nodded. I knew that I would have to obey anything that my mate told me to do, but that didn't mean that I had to like it.
"If you don't mind me asking, what bond have you two formed?" Russ asked when Greg had finally calmed down.
I tightened my body around Harry and opened my black mouth threateningly; that was very personal information that they really didn't need to know. Maybe if I was feeling nice I would tell Russ later, but blabber mouth, the Healer, and boy wonder didn't need to know. Harry lifted one hand and thumped the back of my head, making me turn my head and glare at him. Don't give me that look. You act like a child and I will treat you like one. There is no reason for you to hiss at them, so cool it.
I hissed at him and leaned against his shoulder to pout. Goddamn mate having all of the power.
"I am going to go out on a limb and say that we have a mate bond. The little tyke keeps calling me his mate so…Yeah," Harry said as he blushed and shifted his weight, uncomfortable with the atmosphere. I hissed in annoyance when I was jostled as Harry moved his arm to rub at the back of his neck. There is no reason for you to be nervous. I hissed at him, So stop bloody moving. And I am not little; I am a six foot long snake that could kill hundreds of people with a drop of my venom.
I tightened my body around Harry when he ignored me. Stupid wizards thinking that I do not matter! I was a wizard before a couple months ago for your information! I grumbled to myself.
"Wow, I knew that Beautiful was powerful, but I didn't think that he was that powerful. Good, well Harry, you have a lot to learn about snakes and bonds in a short amount of time so lets get started," Russ said as he walked away but waved Harry and I forward. We left the blabber boy, boy wonder, and a confused Healer behind us.
"So no one needs me anymore right?" The Healer called out as the room emptied of all occupants.
I chuckled and hissed in amusement when Harry walked out of the pet shop completely overwhelmed and brain filled to the brim with information. Russ had gone over everything that there was to know about snakes: what we ate, how often we ate, what we shouldn't eat, our moods, our venom, cleaning, habitats, exercise, interactions with other wizards, and god knows what else. I went to sleep on Harry's shoulder after an hour of Russ spouting off that crap. Russ had then sent us on our way out of the shop with Harry's pockets filled with items that I needed and an order to stop by again so that he could see me. I felt loved and spoiled. Luckily Russ didn't send a cage; he was smart enough to know that I would not be staying in it.
I squeezed Harry when he almost ran into a witch that was walking by. So need to pay attention to where you are walking, Harry.
Harry nodded dimly, but still looked like he would fall asleep at any moment.
I know that it is a lot of information, but it will get better.
How in the hell is it going to get better? I feel like my head is going to explode it is so chalk full of information. I laid my head down on his collarbone trying to comfort him, and nuzzled a little. I knew that he was tired when he didn't even flinch when I flicked my tongue out and it rubbed against his skin.
I can help you once we get to your shelter. I don't think that you would appreciate me biting you in public.
Harry hummed and petted my head. You are going to have to hide when we get into the Muggle world; they will most likely try to kill you if they see you. People do not like snakes, especially when the said snake is the second most venomous snake in the Muggle world. I would take you back to the Burrow, but I am a little miffed and angry at my friend right now so we are going to avoid them. They can yell at me later. I don't care.
Of course. Just let me know when and I will shrink so that I can fit in your pocket. And it does not matter where we reside as long as I am with you. I answered easily.
Good. And you can shrink? Harry asked incredulously.
Did you not listen to Russ? He went over this; I mean I was asleep and I heard him.
He went over so much stinkin' stuff that I have a feeling that I forgot most of it. Harry sighed.
I am sure that you remember more than you think that you did. You are just tired right now which is understandable. I said comfortingly as I wrapped myself around his neck and nuzzled his ear. Harry hummed once again and dodged a witch that was running through the alley. Stupid people, I heard Harry say to himself in his head. I wondered if he could hear my own thoughts. I stiffened thinking that he could have potentially heard me talk about being a wizard, but quickly relaxed when he gave no indication to hearing the thoughts that I was having right now.
Why am I so comfortable around you? He finally asked.
It is the bond and the venom; takes away all doubt, insecurities, and fear. Quite handy for people that are terrified of snakes, but end up bonded to one.
Harry nodded and gave my body wrapped around his chest a caress. You need to shrink so I can hide you. And you need a name.
Be prepared to catch me, Harry. And with that I loosened my body and started to shrink. Harry watched me with wide eyes as I went from a huge six foot long snake to around a foot long snake. Harry easily caught me when my body started to drop since I couldn't hold myself around him anymore; I guess the years of Quidditch helped to give him quick hands.
Come on squirt; you can hold on to me around my neck. "I am gunna have to make buy a jacket though, the muggles are going to freak," Harry murmured to himself as he moved me into one hand and then lifted me up to his neck so I could curl myself around his thick neck. I settled down against his warm skin with a soft hiss and buried my nose under the collar of his shirt. Harry stopped by a random store that sold clothes and grabbed the first jacket that he saw and would fit semi-nice. Warmth permeated my body as Harry put the jacket, which he had just bought, on. You okay up there? Harry asked as I snuggled closer like some kind of kitten or puppy.
Mildly disgusted with myself and my behavior I answered with a short Yes, and didn't say anything else. I held on tightly as Harry left Diagon Alley and started walking to the Muggle bus stop station. We are taking a Muggle bus? I asked with a high pitched voice, completely out of my element.
Yes. Is there a problem with that? Harry asked as he paid the bus driver and walked to sit down on a bench. I frowned and winced in disgust at the smell that bombarded me as Harry sat down next to a homeless looking muggle wearing rags. The air even tasted nasty and bitter; I could almost see a cloud of smog around the man. I thought that my tongue was going to shrivel up and die. I shuddered and buried my whole face inside of Harry's shirt so I could only smell and taste him. He would be able to block most of the smell and taste.
Muggles smell disgusting. I hissed and snapped my fangs in annoyance.
Harry chuckled and lifted a hand inconspicuously petting me, but pretending to be adjusting his jacket collar. I could tell from the way that you reacted; surely they cannot be that bad.
It is. The man that is next to you tastes like rotten eggs and milk. I think that he killed my poor tongue. It is absolutely revolting.
Oh you poor little creature, I will let you taste my skin later so that your tongue can be rejuvenated. Harry said amused as he finally moved his hand back down to his lap. I smirked in victory and flicked my tongue against Harry's skin loving the way that his taste exploded on my tongue and made my whole body quiver with excitement and need. I tightened my body and flared my hood a little, rubbing myself on Harry's available skin. A need was quickly starting to fill my body; I didn't know what I needed but I knew that it had something to do with my mate. He needed to give me something.
Will you stop moving! Harry growled out when I continued to squirm.
I froze instantly. I apologize; something just feels off and I was trying to get comfortable enough to figure out what it is.
Harry blushed, feeling guilty and reprimanded. Oh...Sorry for snapping. Is there something that I can do?
Well for one thing you can give me a bloody name; Russ called me Beautiful and while I love the nickname, it is not appropriate or wanted. I would like a real name. And as for the other thing, I will let you know when I figure it out. I huffed and squirmed again. There was now this feeling of a hole that was forming; it was bloody annoying.
Oh god, I am horrible at coming up with names.
Figures.
What is that supposed to mean? Harry asked incredulously.
Nothing. Nothing at all. Now think of a name!
Ummm…Well you are a silver snake so what about Silver?
I lifted my head out of Harry's collar and bit him on the neck. Are you an idiot part of the time or just all of the time? Seriously Silver? I am not having a name after a bloody color! You are the Golden Boy of Gryffindor and the name Silver is the best that you could come up with! I mean you could have at least made Silver be in a different language like Swahili. Then the name would be Zebaki which is so much better than Silver. Good lord, Silver. I finished with disgust plain in my voice.
Hey now, I happen to think that Silver is a very good name.
If you are bloody imbecile.
There is no need to be mean! Maybe I just won't give you a name and you can be a nameless snake for the rest of your life. Harry said hurt as he thumped me on the back of the head. I hissed loudly and mildly bit the side of Harry's neck again. I smirked in triumph when the muggle wearing rags next to us looked up quickly with wide eyes; he had heard my hiss.
Give me a name or I will make everyone on this bus scream like little girls. I threatened.
Harry frowned and huffed, defeated. Jesus, you are a handful. What about Devil? Or Demon? Oh, we could call you Hades!
Those names are most acceptable, but no, I don't like any of them. I went back under the shirt, the smell having gotten to me again.
I felt a light vibration on my body as Harry tapped his chin, thinking about my name. Okay well what about Dragon or some form of dragon like Drago or Dagrun? Or we could make it like a combination of dark and dragon so it would be Darkon or Darko. Or we could go with Tatsu which is a Japanese name for dragon.
I winced. He was getting way too close to my actual name. Way to close for comfort. I would…Rather not have those names, and how did you even know that Tatsu is Japanese for dragon? I finished quietly.
Harry groaned and let his head hit the back of the bus seat. I assumed that the muggle would look to see what caused my mate to groan in despair. It sounded more like frustration to me though. God you are so difficult, and I just happened to read it somewhere. What about Ryu?
I chuckled. I know, and no.
"Stop number 24. Stop number 24," The muggle man's voice sounded up from above. My head came out from under the collar in shock and my tongue went in and out of my mouth rapidly. What in the bloody hell was that? Did he just talk from up above? How did he do that?
Harry's lips pressed together and his face darkened. He closed his eyes as silent laughter shook his body. What, might I ask, is so bloody funny? I asked when I realized that my mate was laughing at me.
Oh dear lord of great snakes. He spoke from an intercom system not from up above. Harry said as he stood up and stepped off the bus still holding in his chuckles. The minute the bus went around the corner, Harry bent over and let his laughter come raining out of his mouth. His body shook, making me bounce and almost fall off. I quickly lengthened my body a little so that I could hold on better.
I considered biting his neck on my mate mark and slithering off so that he would have to search for me, but I didn't know the area well and many muggles were scared to death of snakes so I quickly did away with that idea; I would rather not get killed. I huffed and waited patiently as my mate continued to laugh hysterically on the sidewalk. I wanted a muggle to walk by so that they could look at him funny for laughing at nothing.
Finally after a few moments, Harry calmed down and stood up straight. Oh that was priceless.
I wanted to ask what was priceless because we didn't do anything, but figured that it would just make him break out in giggles again. I am glad that I could make you laugh at my expense. Now I believe that you need to find a name for me and get home to set up my stuff.
Yes, of course, your majesty. Harry snorted and started walking. I curiously watched the houses as we passed them. They all looked the same. A white picket fence surrounding a very green looking lawn with a small porch in front of the house; two windows were on each side of the front door, and the houses were all a nasty grey looking color. Completely boring.
You actually live in these things? They are so small and boring.
Says the snake that lives in a six by three foot cage with rocks.
I let my hood out in annoyance, but said nothing. He did have a point, but I would never admit that. Are we almost there? I asked when we had been walking for a few minutes.
Yeah the house is right here. And with that Harry turned and followed a walkway up to a front door of an average looking house. Don't do anything unless I say that it is okay. Just stay quick and out of sight.
I nodded, confused and hesitant. I shrunk back down to the size I was on the bus, and made sure that I was completely out of sight but could still get out and defend my mate if needed.
"Hello!" Harry called out as he opened the front door and walked through. I shivered as the cold atmosphere of the house registered in my body. Good lord have these people never heard of a heating charm? Harry smirked a little, but didn't say anything.
I watched with curious and wary eyes as Harry continued to walk through the house. We passed a weird looking room with all of these metal looking objects sitting on a counter, and then we went into a room where there was a box that showed people that moved and talked; they seemed to be looking at red droplets on a wall. Why they were doing that I had no idea, but it looked awesome. I gasped when the people suddenly disappeared and different people came into the box, but then remembered that I wasn't supposed to move without Harry telling me I could. I pouted and stared at the box with wonder.
"Aunt Petunia? I am going to be staying here for a bit," Harry said as we stepped into the room. I looked at the woman sitting on a plush looking couch with interest. She was not a very attractive woman. I looked away before she would burn my eyes. Suddenly I felt very lethargic, and my body completely relaxed. I just lay dangled around Harry's neck as he had a quick conversation with the woman he called Aunt Petunia.
"Sure whatever. Just don't make a mess or stay for the whole summer," Aunt Petunia said distracted as she waved her hand at Harry to dismiss him. Harry rolled his eyes and walked away.
As we left the room, a TV show called "Dexter" flashed on the screen. Harry was quiet and thoughtful as he walked up the creaky stairs to his room. He laid me gently on the bed and watched me. I guess he expected me to coil up into a ball or something, but for some reason I was just too tired to move.
So I think that I have a name for you. Harry said as he sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at me with concern.
What is it? I asked. Even my mental voice sounded tired; I assumed that this was an effect of whatever had been affecting me earlier.
Dexter.
I paused and wished that I had a nose to crinkle up. How could you named me after the people in the box? I screeched as I lengthened my body with a random burst of energy that left me more lethargic than before. Spots started to cloud my vision, and I opened my mouth panting, my forked tongue coming out to lie on the bed comforter.
I felt a soft hand run up and down my scaly back. Are you okay Dexter?
I wanted to hit my mate. Obviously I was not okay; such a Gryffindor move to ask the stupid questions. No. I panted back as everything faded and I went into the dark black abyss. Sometimes I hate my life.
Well.. I left you with another one! I honestly wrote this so long ago that I didn't remember I was so mean to my readers by doing these! Sorry, I will try to have the next chapter up ASAP.
Until next time,
Lost
