Rejected Runespoor
Chapter 26
The first years had been shown out of the Hall and to their common room by the Slytherin prefects and now Harry was standing impatiently among them waiting for Professor Snape to come in and give them the 'First Year Lecture'. He was really hoping the man would hurry. He had to go back upstairs all the way to the bloody Gryffindor common room to get his things and Potty! Oh boy, she'd be in a state by now, Harry groaned internally.
He stood straight as the man swept into the rooms from being the giant picture that hid the Slytherin rooms and stopped before their group.
"Well," The man started softly looking over the half-scared and trying to look calm first years. "You are this years new Slytherins. You will no doubt," He said pacing up from then and swirling dramatically with a pause. "Hear, of rumours of this House. I ask you try not to retaliate against anyone who slurs the House. If I am there I will deal with it, if another teacher is nearby, ignore it." Unvoiced was the 'if a teacher wasn't there'. "You will not tarnish the reputation of this House any further. You will not bring embarrassment upon me. My Slytherins are the best students of this school," Snape sneered. "And it had better stay that way."
Several students around him swallowed deeply and Harry hid a smirk in a cough before lifting a hand.
Snape's black eyes zeroed in on him and he waited for the man to acknowledge him. "Potter."
"I need to go back up and get my things and…" My snake.
"The house elves have brought your things down by now I expect. Your…pet included."
Harry's eyes widened slightly before he inclined his head slightly. "Thank you Sir."
"Off with you all." Snape said voice sharp again. "To bed! And if anyone else besides myself catch you out after curfew…!"
Their perfect showed them to their dorm and said shortly at the door. "All your stuff is in there if you need me call." Then he scrunched up his nose disdainfully and turned to walk away. Harry rolled his eyes.
"Thanks." He muttered under his breath and stepped into the dorm, Draco and four other boys behind him. The beds were arranged almost circularly around a furnace in the middle of the room but Harry was glad to find he was near a window. He knew which bed was his by his trunk and…
"Oh Holy Merlin!" Draco jumped back from his bed next to Harry's with a scream. "There's a snake on the bed!"
"She's mine." Harry shrugged out of his robes quickly, lying them across the bed before putting his arm down and letting Potty curl around it. The three heads looked around inquisitively before two started hissing and 'Potty', the head he really called Potty, his annoying sibling, started hissing in his ear.
"Ssh." He stroked a finger down the right head soothingly. She'd be irritated for Harry not talking but surely they'd understand the others couldn't know he spoke Parseltongue. The other boys came forward cautiously as Harry put her back down on the bed and started to open his trunk for clothes.
"Potter! Is that thing safe?" Malfoy grimaced pointing to the snake.
"No. She's quite poisonous actually. You'd best not try waking me up in the mornings if she's in bed with me."
Draco paled backing away again and another small dark boy stepped forward.
"A runespoor isn't it?" He asked quietly. Harry lifted his eyes from the pajamas he was unpacking and looked the boy up and down.
"Yes she is. Interested in snakes are you?"
"I've read up on them. They are after all the symbol of our House." He offered a hand. "Blaise Zabini."
Harry shook the hand as Draco spluttered in the background. "Well you know who I am." He laughed softly and stopped rooting in his trunk pulling out the bottoms he was looking for.
"I'm Theodore Nott." Another boy stepped forward quickly. He elbowed Draco who scowled back before pointing to the two burly boys on either side of Draco. "Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle. Err, don't mind them they're kind of…slow."
Harry smiled slowly. "Yes I can see that." The two boys known as Crabbe and Goyle were bunking in neighboring beds and were grunting together as they got ready. Harry snorted under his breath before turning away from them and starting to strip. He wasn't really conscious of his nudity and ignored the other boys as he stripped and changed into just the pajama bottoms before climbing into the bed, Potty somewhere under the sheets around his legs. "Night." He yawned widely and rolled over to face Draco's empty bed.
He ignored the other three boys talking about him and the two oafs loud snores and with Potty winding around him slowly, fell asleep.
