A True Slytherin

Chapter Ten

Harry POV

~ Harry, the hairless wolf is back

I snorted, glancing up to see Remus walk into the room as Aeron settled on my lap again.

"Sorry you didn't get a chance to meet earlier, this is Aeron." I rubbed lightly on the top of said snake's head, before looking back up at Remus. He looked a little surprised, though thankfully not frightened, "the owl that delivered the letter is Loki." Remus frowned slightly, a crease forming between his brows.

"Yes, he seemed to find enjoyment in flying just out of my reach so I couldn't get the letter from him. Though I guess he grew bored of it and decided to give it to me."

"Sounds like something he would do. If you would like, you can sit. Or join me and visit the library. I will have a house elf take your bags to your room."

"I would be glad to visit the library." Remus placed his two small bags on the floor, before following me to the library. After walking into the room, with Aeron wrapped around my shoulders, Remus headed towards the potion books, and I wandered over to a section I hadn't gone through yet. 'Oh, right. I need a house elf to deal with his stuff.'

"Bire." I turned to my right, seeing a small elf standing there, bouncing on the heels of his feet.

"What can I's do for master Harry?"

"Please take Remus' stuff to his room."

"Of course! I's do it right away!" The elf popped away soon after, and I turned back to the shelf I was looking over. It was when I almost picked out a book on magical creatures that I spotted a rather odd book. It was thick, with a leather cover, and no title written on the spine. Picking it up instead, I walked over to the table and sat across from Remus.

"What have you found there Harry?" I glanced up to see a curious expression on his face.

"Oh, I am not sure. There was no title on the spine." There isn't anything on the front or back of the cover either. I showed it to Remus, only to be confused as his eyes widened slightly.

"I recognize that book. It was during summer break, I had come to visit your dad here. He showed me that book and two others, stating that they were parseltongue books. He didn't know what was written inside of it though due to no one having the ability to read it in the Potter line." I blinked at this new information, not realizing there could be books like this here. 'I would expect them to be in the Malfoy library, or with Voldie. But with the Potters? Though this could be helpful, whatever has been written inside.'

"Could you show me the other two books?" I asked, ignoring the curious expression Remus is now showing me.

"Of course." He stood, walking over to the potion section, grabbing a book, then doing the same in the defense section. Walking back over, he placed both of the books on the table beside the first one. They had the same leather cover, all three a worn black color.

"What are you going to do with them though?" I smirked at the question, taking my eyes off of the books to look at Remus again.

"I'm going to read them of course. I am able to speak parseltongue." This succeeded in shocking the poor wolf, who simply gaped at me for a good minute.

~ Harry, why not learn parselmagic?

Remus jumped slightly at the sudden sound of hissing, probably forgetting Aeron was still there. I looked down at the snake, rather confused.

~ Parselmagic? I can do that?

~ Of course you can, silly wizard. It isn't that hard to do, though it is easier without a wand. A wand cannot channel your intentions as easily when they are in the tongue of snakes.
