There's a little bit of blood, but it shouldn't bother you too much, it isn't done in violence.

Chapter 9
"Your mate? Well this is an interesting development." Harry commented. "Is she close by?"
He questioned. Sylas seemed aggravated about something because he hissed menacingly.
"Sshe iss in magical hybernation." He snapped.
"Ah, well how do you plan to get her out?" Harry posed.
More aggravated hissing.
"A stick-waver forced her into it. You will have to help me get her out."
Ah, well it will have to wait for the summer holidays I may be able to help you then my friend."
"Nonsense!" Sylas hissed loudly.
"Well, I will try my friend but I can't just disappear from school without raising suspicion."
Sylas hissed annoyed.
"Why do humans always make presumptions?" He sigh-hissed.
"She's at Hogwarts."
Harry's eyes widened. "Is sshe some other personss ssnake? Did other sstudentss bring one, what breed iss sshe?" He hissed excitedly.
"She's no one's pet, like me I am a companion."
Sylas kind of puffed up proudly. (if that's possible as a snake)
"She is a Basilisk from these parts. She was bonded to a Great Sorcerer."
Harry's eyes widened even more which seemed impossible but he somehow managed it.
"The Basilisk? Salazar Slytherin's Basilisk?"
"Yess, hiss." Sylas snapped impatiently. "Now you musst help her sso that we can mate." Harry snorted, snakes and their young, they never thought of anything but procreating.
"She's huge though." Harry commented.
"I will be once we're bound asswell master."
Harry thought that it didn't really make any sense.
"I ssee, will sshe try and harm me Sylass?"
"What? No of coursse not master, only if you threaten her." Sylas responded sounding a bit offended.
It was like he couldn't imagine his mate attacking his master. "I ssee then I sshall help you Sylass."
Sylas hissed excitedly. "I pressume you found her by going through the pipess? Harry questioned.
After receiving a nod Harry continued. "I will meet you there then."
Harry headed towards the second floor; he had to pass through the entrance hall, which was an open space, and since his invisibility cloak disappeared when he arrived in the past (along with his wand) and he hadn't gotten it from Dumbledore yet. He just barely missed Snape as he swept passed the pillar he was hiding behind. He continued uninterrupted to the 2nd floor. He checked the bathroom for Moaning Myrtle and was relieved when he didn't see her. He remembered what sink it was and went right up to it and hissed: "Open." The sink moved and he saw the tunnel again, all slimy and full of cobwebs. This time he had more time and wasn't pressured by the whole saving-Ginny thing. He said "Tergeo." And waved his wand in a more intricate way then when you scourgified things. The tunnel was spotless. He jumped down and when he reached the bottom he hissed: "Close." And he heard the rumbling of the sinks setting back into place. As he continued his journey he made sure to "Tergeo" everything. By the time he got there 5 minutes had gone by for a two-minute walk. He hissed open again when he got to the circular door and the snakes entwined hissing.
He entered and there was Sylas standing in front of the great statue. "Sshe's in there, I can feel her."
"I shall try my friend, with my limited Latin."
He spoke in a kind of Parsel-Latin since he was speaking latin but with hisses.
Aperire osstium, ego sum tu heress.
Vigilemuss tuis coeunt et dominuss.
Vigilanss de hiberna latebra Magnuss bassilisscuss.
Magiae do aduerssuss famam.
Et omness essse bene. Proxime ssecundum palpebrae tuae nolo enim laedi.
(Translation from Google translate:
Open the entrance, I am thou heir.
Wake for thy mate and master.
Awake from thy hibernation Great basilisk.
I grant thy my magic to break the spell.
And all will be well.
Close thy second eyelid for I do not want to be harmed.)
Harry was genuinely surprised when Lord Slytherin's mouth opened. The giant snake came out.
"Masster? You are not Tom Riddle, who are you?"
"I am Harry Potter his first cousin once removed."
"I am Saphestique Queen of the West."
"I am Sylastion King of the East." Harry was surprised when Sylas responded.
"I ssmell my mate, Sylasstion you are my mate. I have been ssearching thesse past 2000 yearss."Saphestique hissed.
"My common name is Sylas, and I have been ssearching these past 2000 yearss asswell."
"My common name iss Saphy, but not around common ssnakess. You may call me thuss my mate because of what you are."
Harry interrupted. "I'm ssorry Saphy but with your ssize you can't go around Hogwartsss, you will be noticed.
Saphy turned his way. "Yess, I know thiss iss my more menacing form, my magi-form I can grow thiss grand becausse my previous masster fed me magic when we bonded.
I sshall bond with Sylass tonight. I wish for you to bond us with blood and magic."
"I agree." Sylas pitched in. Harry sighed and rubbed his eyes, he was getting really tired. "Very well, but you will have to explain it to me Saphy and Sylas." He informed them. They both nodded. "You sshall have to get the bonding knife out of my previouss massterss work-room.
Harry looked up at this. He didn't know Salazar had his own work-room. "There is a chamber when you enter my nesst. You will have to hisss 'open' at the ssnake carving in the corner." Harry was excited so he quickly climbed the statue and scrambled into the mouth of the statue. He went into Saphy's 'nest' or lair and saw that it was damp and warm, the perfect place for a snake to hibernate.
He saw the carving and hastily hissed, "Open." He was really excited to see THE Salazar Slytherin's lair. He entered the room with bated breath, because that's what it was, it was just a room with a desk in the corner. It wasn't much bigger than his room (Dudley's 2nd one) at the Dursleys. It had light green walls with silver carvings of snakes. And there was an old silver frame that was empty. It wasn't very special.
He was disappointed but hurriedly headed for the desk where he opened a random drawer. There in the corner lay a beautiful silver dagger with ornate snakes carved in the handle. It looked to be very old, which it was but it didn't resemble Gryffindor's sword at all. Where the sword gave Harry a feeling that he would be fine and was invincible, the dagger gave him a feeling of ambition and vigilance. He liked this one more since it was more realistic, more like life, it was a wake-up call to naive people and children.
He quickly grabbed it and felt a warm feeling, kind of like a bonding, a welcoming.
He crawled back out of the statue's mouth, but this time Saphy was there to give him a lift. Sylas was next to Saphy and seemed to be really happy. Harry smiled.
"Sso you want me to bind you now, I pressume." Harry said amusedly. "Yess, now get on with it and ssstop dilly-dallying." Saphy hissed. Harry chuckled, he didn't think snakes would say 'dilly-dallying' in his wildest dreams but was proved wrong.
"I sshall commence then." Harry said solemly.
"You sshall know what to ssay ssince you have the blood of the great SSalazar SSlytherin. Saphy proclaimed proudly. Harry, for some reason didn't mind because he had a feeling the dagger would guide him and he entered a trance.
"Ego vinculum te, duo sserpentess.
Orientis et Occidentiss ab oriente in occidentem.
Tua magna regna ut prossperabitur in hoc vinculo.
Dilectione cusstodiant te ssimul.
Et quamdiu hic vivitur et proximum tuum."
(Trans from GT: I bond thee, two great snakes .
From East to West and West to East.
That thy great kingdoms may prosper in this bond.
Love shall keep thee together.
Live together for as long as thy shall in this world and the next.)
After the spell he cut Sylas with the dagger eliciting a hiss from him. His dark red blood coated his hands and Harry conjured a bowl. He let the blood run into it. He then flicked his wand and closed the wound absently. Even though he normally wouldn't be able to do it, since he was in a haze he didn't realize it. Harry then went over to Saphy and made an incision to which Saphy hissed as well. He let the blood fill the bowl further before he closed her wound as well. Then he mixed the blood with his knife. He then dipped his forefinger in the bowl and Saphy dipped her head down so Harry could reach it. He proceeded to draw a rune between her eyes. He continued by doing the same to Sylas. Afterwards he cupped his hand and scooped up some of the blood and held it out. Saphy licked it up and he did the same for Sylas. After he had done this, he still had about a quarter of the blood in the bowl. Saphy transformed into her small form, which was Sylas' size. The two snaked entwined and Harry poured the blood on them. Afterwards Harry backed away and sat on the ground. The blood on the snakes glowed gold and sunk into their skin. He awoke from his stupor, and yawned, he was exhausted. Sylas and Saphy were grateful and thanked him. He felt like a zombie and walked back to the entrance where he hissed: "open." The piped transformed to a platform. Harry got onto it and hissed "Slytherin Common Room." It was kind of like an elevator but it didn't really matter to him, he ended up behind a tapestry of the Slytherin dorms and headed for bed, in which he bonelessly fell into. He fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. He would have really sore muscles in the morning was his last thought before he entered the land of Morpheus.

It might've been a bit cheesy at some points but I hope you liked it!
I changed the formatting, I didn't realize I was doing it or that it posted that way, but thanks for reviewing me!
BTW: Voldemort is the heir. And Harry is the heir After Voldemort, Lily never was, because she was a girl and the males have first claim even if they are half-bloods.
