Why Me? |Fred x Harry x George|

Chapter one- Why?

-Third POV-

Harry was laying in his bed, if you can call it that, he was about to do his chores. It was currently 7:10, if he got out at this time he can get breakfast done by 8. He was still sporting the lovely bruises from yesterday. He climbed out of the cupboard careful not to injure himself more, he got breakfast going just how the Dursleys like it. Not a single piece was burnt or under cooked. He was happy, he didn't want to have more beatings. He started getting the plates ready and thats when his Aunt came downstairs to tell him to make breakfast. Aunt Petunia wasn't as bad as Vernon or Dudley. She swatted his hand or scolded him, but that was it. She even hid food for him cause she knew he couldn't keep living like this. She was surprised to see Harry already up and cooking, so she did the only thing she could have done, she praised him. Her lips landed directly into his messy untidy raven hair and planted a soft kiss to Harry's surprise. He's never been raised. She put the plates on the table just in time for Vernon to get down the stairs. Harry scuddled over to the coffee maker and made his Uncle his coffee, made his Aunt's tea, and a glass of orange juice for Dudley. He walked into the backyard to begin his day leaving behind a confused but angry Vernon who had nothing to yell at the boy for.

-Harry's POV-

Weed the gardens, clean the house, prepare dinner, repeat. That was my day. I did enjoy the gardens though, watching all the lovely animals. I pulled the weeds out of the flower bed and gave them food and made sure nothing was out of place, then I heard something. Like a tiny whisper so I looked around and saw a little black snake yawning..and speaking?

"Ungrateful humans.. always waking us.. I should give them a piece of my mind" came the small little voice of the snake. I did the only thing I could do, I spoke back. "Hello little one, I'm sorry if I disturbed your sleep. I'm just tending to the garden" I whispered in a weird language that came to me like second nature. The small snake slithered to me as if happy. "I finally find my master! And he's a speaker!" A speaker? Does it mean the weird language? "O-ok.. uh, what should I name you?" I asked looking at it. "I don't know master, I'm a female by the way." I nodded thinking about those other language words. I studied her for a second. "What about Libitina?" She seemed to like it as she gave a snakeish smile. "I love it!" From then on me and Libitina stayed together unless she needed to hunt. She taught me all about the wizarding world and she said I was a wizard and that I could speak to snakes, its something called parsteltongue.

My birthday was coming up in only 3 days, meaning I would get my letter soon, hopefully. I was currently talking with Libitina about spells and the history of hogwarts and the houses. She keeps warning me about Albus Dumbledore, saying he was a bad person. My 'relatives' were out right now so I could speak to her without whispering. "There's Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Gryffindor is brave and daring. Ravenclaw is a ready mind and witty. Hufflepuff is just and loyal. Then Slytherin, is ambitious and cunning. You'll make real friends in Slytherin." I enjoyed listening to Libitina talk. Its so soothing and she's so smart. I heard my Uncle's car pull in, Thank Merlin I did my chores, not a thing out of play or a speck of dust. My Aunt grew fond of me and even helped to my refusal. I heard the door shut and the heavy footsteps. My Uncle grunted in anger since he didn't get to beat me, he'd find out a way somehow. That entire day I learned about Hogwarts and some other interesting things.

I crawled out of the cupboard to get the post and slipped the hogwarts letter in my shirt. I gave the post to my uncle and finished the table. Once my Uncle and cousin went upstairs I pulled the letter out and ran to Aunt. "A-aunt Petunia, guess what!" She looked at me as if saying continue so I held up the letter and she smiled brightly. "Congratulations Harry! I'll take you there if you'd like. I've always wanted to see Diagon Alley. I'll tell you all about my sister Lily and her husband James." I nodded fast excited so we left and went to Diagon Alley and went to Gringotts first. We walked in and my Aunt looked.. different! She had redish blonde hair, her skin fulled out, her long neck was shrunken. She also had lion like ears and tail. She smiled at me and explained everything that she too was a wizard but she learned secretly and she also was a creature. She told me all about Severus, Lily, Sirius, Remus, James, Peter, Lucius, and Narcissa. She even explained the night my parents died, Sirius was accused of killing muggles and selling Lily and James to Voldemort but the truth was, I never was Lily and James kid. There isn't a Voldemort. Albus Dumbledore killed James and Lily while watching me for Tom. Yes, I know my real parents are Severus and Tom. We went to the Head Goblin, Griphook. "Hello Griphook." Aunt said, "Ah, Mrs. Dursley and Mr. Riddle-Snape, good thing you've come. I've been meaning to talk to you!" Me and Tunia look at each other. "Ok sir" I mumbled then he led us off to his office, it was pretty. We sat down and he pulled out a piece of parchment and a dagger with runes on it. "Let 7 drops of blood on the parchment" I did as asked and watched as words formed.
