A Fateful Fifth:

Harry's eyes darted around fearfully for a moment before he abruptly turned and ran.

$Hatchling$ growled his father, $You promised to go to school when the Goat found you!$

Harry spared his father a glance and a smirk before panting out, $Yeah, but he hasn't got me yet!$

Meanwhile, his mother was having the time of her life. $ I hasssn't been in a good chasssse in yearsssss! Yessss run Ikle craziessss run. YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE! Mwahahahahaha!$

Harry cackled along with her, but hissed $Mother dearessst, asss, much assss I love you, I mussst insssissst that it is you that is the crazy one.$

This lighthearted banter was put to an end when a very pale, bat like man appeared in front of the trio. Wizards in long robes materialized around him and surrounded Harry. All of a sudden, an old man with a long flowing beard materialized and twinkled his eyes at Harry.

"Harry my boy, good to see you. We've come to take you to Hogwarts for your schooling. Come along now."

Harry carefully avoided the eyes of the creepy old man. His parents had warned him against this, as apparently, wizards were prone to tricking others to make eye contact and then read each other's minds that way. What creepers.

"Professor, does he even understand us?" A lady with wild pink hair was alternating between looking at Harry like an interesting sort of bug, and looking at Dumbles for assurance. How pathetic.

$Oh, Ajatar$ Hissed Harry in mock horror, $It'sss-it'sss, oh what do the mugglessss call it… ah! It'sss walking bubblegum! It's alive!$

$Hatchling$ Scolded his father, $Now is not the time to make…odd jokes about hair, you must go with the muggleloving Goat to school.$

Their conversation was brought to an end when the pink haired lady recovered from shock long enough to scream "He speaks parseltongue!" and trip backwards out of sight. Moments later an "I'm ok!" was yelled out.

Harry and the snakes winced. Harry looked pitifully at his father before asking, $Mussst I really go with thossse idiotssss? I'll die of stupid overdosssse, or worssssse! I might become one of them!

The male looked incredibly indecisive for a moment. Surely he and his mate could remember something more to teach their hatchling? Those Order idiots could really mess up their child. They could even turn him into a filthy mugglelover… No he had to stand firm…but still. Hastily, to reduce his chances of changing his mind, the snake blurted out,

$No Hatchling, you must go. Although you may want to pray to Ajatar every day that the crazy doessssn't rub off on you… You'll be fine, you'll have usss with you! $

During all this… his mate was bouncing up and down in glee. $Road trip, road trip! Sssee ya later ssssuckersss!$

The old man finally recovered enough to shakily cast a translation spell on Harry, and restated his previous spiel. As Harry looked at the outstretched hand of the Headmaster, he hesitated before saying,

"If I'm going, my snakes come too."

For a second there, Harry could have sworn he saw the Goat's eyes harden, before he twinkled again and nodded in agreement. As Harry took the old coot's hand, the last thing he heard was his father's yell of $Tähdet hurry up or we'll leave you!$, before he felt the horrid sensation of a hook below his navel pulling him away.
