Queen

Ch 8

Harry was woken up the next day by the sound of hissing.

~Master, wake up! It is time for you to prepare for the day, also I'm hungry so wake up!~

Groaning, he sat up and looked at his familiar's electric blue eyes. : Silvie, where were you yesterday?: He asked, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

~I was bored and took to exploring the castle. It was amazing! There were these pipes that leads to different parts of the castle. I also met Sasha! I never thought I'd meet another basilisk in this school!~ Silvie explained quite excited.

~Sasha?~ Harry asked quite confused.

"It's the basilisk and my familiar from when I was alive that lives in the chamber. I've told told you about her once, remember?" A ghost of Salazar appeared all of a sudden, surprising the poor snake causing for her to hiss threateningly at the intruder.

Chuckling, Harry scratches his familiar's head to calm her down. He then turned to the amused founder and said. "Right, now I remember."

He then shifted to parseltongue to talk to Silvie. ~ Silvie, can you please get your head off of me, you are getting to big. With your size, if you want to tag along with me to my classes, I need to shrink you. Understood?~

~But I don't like the feeling of it!~ She protested before she quieted down for a few seconds, seemingly thinking. ~But if I don't, who knows what those pests will do to my beloved master. I won't allow them to lay a hand on my beautiful master! Never!~ She nodded to herself.

Harry rolled his eyes. ~First off, I'm a boy and I do not appreciate being called beautiful. And second, those pests are my classmates and I'm pretty sure they won't 'lay a hand' on me~

"No! She's right. Silvie should come with you to make sure you are safe" this time, it was death in his human form who appeared together with the other founders and Merlin.

Salazar snorted and much like Harry, rolled his eyes. "I'm pretty sure before they could even think of harming him, Harry would have already cursed them into next month"

"Or year" Godric added. Rowena just shook her head at them while Merlin observed the whole spectacle with a smile on his face.

"Don't listen to them sweety. Why don't you go wash up so you can get to the great Hall early" Helga said looking at him warmly.

Harry returned the smile before doing as he's told.

Once again, he managed to shock the Great Hall into silence when he walked in with a snake wrapped around his shoulder.

Paying no mind to the look he's getting, he walked towards his table and sat down to a waving Draco.

"Good morning Draco. I trust you slept well"

"Wonderfully. I can't wait to get on with the classes" Draco said excitedly causing Harry to smile a bit seeing this. The blonde may be good at putting up and maintaining masks, but in the end, he's still just a kid

"Is this seat taken?" A voice asked from in front of them causing the two to look up.

"Zabini, nice of you to join us. And no, that's seat's free" Harry said politely.

"Please, call me Blaise. And I must say, you've got quite the snake there. Beautiful"

Harry smiled at this before nodding in thanks. "Why thank you. This is Silvie, my familiar."

Silvie raised her head and nodded as if greeting the stunned student.

"Woah"Blaise said before a huge grin overtook his face and he turned towards Harry. "I have a feeling my life would never be boring having you as a friend. So, may I?" He attended his hand to the equally grinning ravenette.

"You may" Harry said taking the offer hand before he stood up. "Why don't we proceed to put class. Along the way, I'll introduce you to the rest of the team."

He then started walking away followed by a confused Blaise and a smirking blonde.

The Great Hall was once again stunned into silence when three Slytherins, a Ravenclaw and a Gryffindor exited the hall together with a smile on their faces, talking to each other and laughing quietly every now and then when one of them said something funny.

As this was happening, none of them noticed the crimson red eyes following the ravenette who seems to be the leader of the group.

'Interesting'  the owner of said eyes thought while he continued to eat his breakfast and ignoring the others in the room. His thoughts are now centered around a certain Avada Kedavra eyed boy.
