The Marauders's Maps

Snippets of a Diferent Life

JKR owns this stuff peoples. But, if you thought I owned it, I think I have the right to call you an idiot

I will be saying their ages during the snippets during this chapter. It also is going to be super short.

Age Six: "Hey you two!" A random boy at the park called. As he walked up to them followed by three people. "Do you wanna play a gaaame?"

Hera looked over and eyed the boy. "Not really."

"You wanna talk to me like that girl?! You'll she what's coming!" Two of the kids grabbed James and Hera by the shirt and threw them on the ground

As the kids started to punch them the air crackled with magic. Suddenly the kids' shoes caught on fire. 

By that time Eve was already racing over. The fires went out as quickly as they started, but the kids were already on the grounds looking at James and Hera.

Eve looked angry, but at who was the question. Luckily for the siblings she looked at the kids. "If you keep going around bulling people, you will get a lot more than a scare." She said so calm it was scary.

The kids just looked at Eve and ran of.

She squat down by her children. "Now, did you just scare those kids with accidental, or intentional magic?"

Her kids looked about as surprised and scared as the bullies.  "I-I don't know mom. It just wanted the kids to go away because they were hurting me." Hera said.

Her mom nodded. "Some kids can learn to control their accidental magic before Hogwarts, but for now, that was pretty cool righ?"

James and Hera's faces just broke into grins as they realized they had done magic. "Yeah!" They said together as they smiled at their mom.

"Now why don't we get some sort of treat yeah?"

Both kids nodded and they set of.

Age Eight: Hera was alone in the back yard when a snake slithered up.

*Sssstupid human.* It hissed. *Moooove.*

To her surprise as much as the snakes she hissed back. *Hey! I'm not ssstupid!*

*Ssspeaker? Oh I am mosst sssory speaker.*

*Ohh. I didn't know I was a ssspeaker.* She hissed slightly surprised.

*Well now you do.* The snake hissed plainly as it looked at her. *Iss there anything you wish for me to do?*

*Um, no tthhank you.*

*Goodbye sspeaker.* The snake hissed as it slithered away leavingnone confused Hera.

Age Nine: "Okay, I think this is the final test and then no more formal lessons." Hera told James.

The things was, that Parseltoung was a laungauge, so it could be learned. So, without telling their parents about Hera's abilities, (because being a metamophagus was already enough) Hera gave James lessons.

*What is the tesst sssiss?*

*We go talk to the magical viper in the fores.t*

*But we've talked to sssnakes before."

*Ha, not one with this much grammar!*

"Hmm."

"Let's go."

"Okay." James said as he got up.

Hera started to run and James followed suit.

*Ssezor.* Hera hissed into the woods.

After a few seconds a pound slithering sound could be heard and a head popped out of some bush to look at the kids. *Hello young Parselmouth, who might your aquantancccce be?"

"Thisss is my apprentice for learning Parselmouth. I have come to ask if you will speak with him to tesst him.*

*Of courssse.* He turned to James *Can you underssstand this converssatoin?*

*Yesss.*

*Good...*

The snake started asking James questions. James understood them all and was praised by the snake.

When they got back to the house Hera used the way you would khight a new warrior to say, "I deem you fluent!"

I know it was short, next chapter will be juicey. (Filthy as charged)
