![]() ![]() Also, so his snake could get some exercise by slithering around under the bushes chasing bugs and asking questions about passing cars or why the sky was so big. Alex the snake had visited a couple times while Harry was hiding out in the back garden to work on his school assignments away from Dudley's cheating eyes. Harry grinned, knowing it was just an excuse to see the bigger grass snake. “ I do not like any of these names.” He hissed as grumpily as it was possible for a baby snake to do. His snake popped a dark green head out from under a hideous orange and brown sock and flicked his tongue at Harry, purple eyes glinting in the dim light. Not just for fear of Dudley, but because he kept hissing to himself and grinning at odd times. Harry had a hard time holding in his giggles and got the feeling his classmates were avoiding him even more now. Harry liked carrying him around, answering hissed questions about chalkboards or pencils or why that girl’s hair had shiny things in it and could Harry put shiny things in his hair? Harry worried about how big he would get and how he was supposed to hide him from the Dursleys if he ended up the size of Monty.įor now it was easy to carry the little guy around in his pocket or draped across his shoulders under the baggy folds of his hand-me-downs.

He watched his familiar slither around the pile of clothes that took up most of the shallower part of the cupboard, where the stairs sloped too low for even Harry to sit comfortably. It was usually pretty dark in the cupboard, but Harry had pulled the little chain that dangled over his cot so they were bathed in a dim light. It was late and he didn't want to wake his relatives. The snake uncoiled from his collarbone and slithered down and out of the bottom of Harry’s jumper, making the boy squirm as he tried to hold in the ticklish giggles. But at the same time, Harry was running out of suggestions. Harry didn't really mind too much, names were important and he was glad his snake was giving it thought. They had moved on to more common names, each met with a hissed no or flick of tongue or wriggle of displeasure. The snake had considered Emerson briefly before bobbing his head in a negative. ![]() At first Harry had tried to think of something clever and regal sounding, like Algernon or Julius. They had yet to be able to settle on a name. It had been a few weeks since the others had left, and school had started back up. ![]() He occasionally flicked his purple tongue out to taste the air or tickle Harry’s chin. His little snake was coiled on his chest, beneath his oversized jumper. Harry sighed, laying on his back and staring up at the underside of the stairs. ![]() Part 1 of A Very Slytherin Harry Next Work →Ĭompleted Gen Recommendations, Gammily’s Bookshelf, Great HP Stories, My Heart Adores, Harry Gets a Pet Snake, To remember and cherish, Mirage664's Best of Best, Series that I want to read once they are complete, The Read Agains and Agains, Things I always come back to, Harry Potter Era, Other_Stuff, HP fics I keep coming back to, great harry potter fics, Amazing Epic Stories, HP_fanfics_cause_im_still_obsessed, □ Fanfic Forum Discord Recs, Fics that fuelled my HP obsession, Theos Potter Must Reads, Absolute masterpiece, Completed stories I've read, hixpatch's all time favorites, Lilranko Interesting Read List, Harry Potter Fics, AnoditeOmniaAbuzz, Well written HP fics, elian’s favorites <3, ⚡Harry Potter⚡, Finished Works Me Have Read, HP Reads for my sanity, Giggler's favourites, bitesize fics, S.T.I.L.L., HP stories I could read a thousand times⚡□⚡ Stats: Published: Completed: Words: 18,434 Chapters: 2/2 Comments: 491 Kudos: 8,624 Bookmarks: 907 Hits: 112,309 ![]()
