From here on in, assume that all speak is in parseltongue unless I dictate otherwise. Note the gender changes as female basilisk mind fights with Harry's human mind. I also noted where Harry ended up in this chapter.
The next morning, Harry awoke on the ground. What was strange is that he has no memory of falling asleep. He probably cried himself to sleep as he had done so many other times before. He immiediately noticed something was wrong. His vision was blurry, he took off what was the bent out version of his glasses and noticed his vision was crystal clear. It was a miracle he thought. He heard water running in the distance. He ran towards it, and threw his glasses in there, knowing that he would never need them again.
Confused and dazed, he walked back to where he had woken up. All of the sudden a giant basilisk appeared in front of him. He reached for his wand, and realized it was not there. He also realized that for some reason he was not dead.
"Why am I not dead?" asked Harry to the basilisk.
Balthazar knew that he couldnt tell the human the truth, that he was slowly turning into a female basilisk. He was also shocked that the human was speaking basilisk already. He decided to play it cool, well as cool for a basilisk that is.
"Because I have no intentions of killing you today," Balthazar answered.
"Oh, I guess that's a good reason," Harry said, "now if you'll excuse me, I have to look for something." Harry tried to move around the giant serpant. Wait, whats this something? A person, an item, what?
"Why dont you stay a while and talk to me? My name Balthazar, but you can call me Zar. Its not everyday that a human who can talk to me comes through."
Harry thought for a minute, he really had no place to go, and looking for his something could wait. "My name is Harry but you can call me Suspiria or Ria for short." Harry replied.
Suspiria, thats a girl's name, where did I come up with that?Wait, whats a girl, oh a female. thought Harry.
What a pretty name for my mate, Suspiria,thought Balthazar. Oh I cant wait, I thought I'd never have the chance.
Ria, what brings you around here? asked Balthazar.
Harry looked straight at the basilisk, noticing for the first time how handsome he was, how glorious he looked. How he would be as the father of her children.Wait where did those thoughts come from?
Noticing that Zar was waiting for an answer, Harry had to answer. "No where, I...I...I cant talk about it." Harry's eyes began to fill with tears again.
Balthazar, sensing Harry's distress helped Harry to sit down. He also nudged him gently, while sniffing him discreetly. Ria, I can smell you in there, come on out, one the one called Harry is gone forever, we can be together forever. Zar thought.
Unbeknownst to the unusual pair, a Cenglin hid in a tree watching their every move. It wont be long now, Furzene said softly to himself, its time to shed what you humans call clothes, the changes from male to female should have begun already. Furzene noted that he could see two masses growing from the upper torso of the human that weren't there yesterday. The transformation might take shorter than what he told the basilisks originally there could be a full female adolescent basilisk in the colony by sunfall tomorrow, then he could be free to go back to his family as what he was originally, a centaur.
As soon as he began to cry, Harry stopped. Why was he crying for? What happened, where did he come from, how did he get here, wherever here is. He looked down at himself. What did he have on his body? Where were her scales, her tail? Wait, why he human, and a male one to be exact? She was Suspiria, the prettiest basilisk in all of the Romainian forest.
"Zar," she asked.
"Yes, Ria?" Zar answered.
"What is on me, and why am I like this in this form?"
If basilisks could show emotion, Balthazar would have shouted with joy. Ria was in control, and he hoped that she could stay in control permanetly, once that happens...
"Some sort of human covering, why dont you take it off?"
Ria nodded. She kicked off the boots,and tore off the cloak and shirt, the pants he pulled down normally and gasped.
Harry had two masses of skin on his chest! He was growing breasts! Yet his chest was hairy as ever. Something inside Harry told him to check down there, what made him male, was no longer there, he felt a moist, hair covered hole instead. Looking at Zar, he felt very warm inside. What was going on? Why was he turning female?
"Balthazar! Time for the hunt!" a voice came from behind them. It was Elaith.
"Zar whose that?" Harry asked.
"Thats my mother, its time to eat," Zar said as he slithered away.
Ria was jealous that someone else was taking the attention of her Balthazar. It wasnt fair, even if it was his own mother. Ria began to lash out, but something was holding her back. It was that dammed human. He was going to have to go. This body was her's now, and soon she would be back to normal. She couldnt wait to mate with Balthazar and have his eggs.
Furzene smiled in delight. This was one of the fastest transformations he had ever done. Probably because the human was magical just like him. He couldnt wait for the curse to be lifted off of him, all because he wouldn't help a Dark Lord he was cursed into granting wishes for 100 begins, giving him immunity against anything that might try to hurt him, and this was his 100th. It wont be long now. Actually could probably start the physical transformation now. By sunfall, the female would have no more hair, and scales will begin to form on her arms and legs, and she would no longer walk on her feet, as Ria fully takes over.
Need to eat; thought what was left of Harry's mind. Hearing a ruslting in the bushes, Harry got a little closer. It was a little mouse. Perfect, she (A/N I can no longer call him a he) thought. Leaping down, and catching it in her hands.She tried to put it in her mouth alive, but her mouth wouldnt open wide enough. She would have to kill it and cut it. But how? Seeing her solution she picked up a sharp rock next to a fallen tree as the mouse tried to get free in her hands, she drove the sharp end right through the belly of the mouse. Dropping the rock, she tore the mouse open and split it into two. She gulped down one half then the other.
Harry sat down on the fallen tree. Something was going on. She couldnt remember! What was her name? Who were her parents? She tried crying, but no tears would form. She felt an itching on her head, and scratched, and pulled out a whole chunk of hair. She reached up with her other hand and pulled out more hair, and dropped it. She looked down, and her now hairless chest. What was going on? She reached down there, and felt nothing but skin, no hair, looking at her arms, there was not one hair on either arm. Looking closer, she could see something green on the top of her palm. The last thought that Harry James Potter ever had as Harry James Potter was, I think I'm turning into a female basilisk...
Ria slid off the log onto the forest floor. The human was gone forever. She was free now, forever and ever. Pinning her arms to her side, and putting her legs together, she slithered towards the colony, leaving a trail of dark hair.
When she got there, she lifted her head the best she could in this form. "Zar!" she hissed, noticing her mate as her mate for the first time.
"Ria?" Zar asked, as he slithered over to her.
"Its me, Zar, I'm here, and yours forever," she said, sticking out her tongue and attempting to lick Zar's underside the best she could.
Zar stuck out his forked tongue and began to lick her right arm, which some scales were clearly visible, making her moan with pleasure.
"Zar, not yet, not until I'm perfect," Ria was able to get out, inbetween moaning.
"Oh, Ria, I will love you no matter what you look like." Zar hissed.
Just then, green scales exploded all over Ria's ams and legs, and the rest of her hair fell off. Just as the sun began to fall.
Elaith slithered over with three other colony members. It was amazing how the human male who showed up last night, had transformed into the female hybrid.
All of the sudden Furzene appeared. Wow this was fast, he said notioning Zar and Elaith.
Furzene casted a sleeping spell over Ria, making her fall asleep so she wouldnt hear or feel the last and final step. "I cant believe what should have taken 3 days took 1 and what should take 4 will only take a few hours, since she's already part of the way there. She's very magical. But she wont be upon completion"
"Is this is it?" Zar asked, ready for his mate to emerge.
"Yes it is. This is the last you'll see of me, have a good life, Zar, Ria". He said with a smile, and began the final spell, pushing the last remants of Harry James Potter out of Ria.
Scales began to form all over Ria's body, as her body began to elongate. Arms and legs fused to the trunk of her body. The breasts that had formed earlier melted back. Her bottom end fused into a point. Her heard flattened, as her ears all but disappeared, her eyes became the deadly reddish yellow color, as her teeth became pointed, and poisonous fangs formed. Her scales hardened as the final transformation. Her body spasmed, as she began to coil up, sound asleep. There was never a human in the basilisk colony.
When he was sure the transformation was complete, Zar coiled up next to her, and rested his head on top of her. Tomorrow could wait.
Meanwhile back at the ruins of Hogwarts, human hands were begining to push into the moonlight.
Should I continue with this? This is my first time trying something like this out, and I dont have spell or grammar check on this word processesor, so I take full responsibility for any errors.
