The Real Truth
Series 2 Chapter 17
Harry woke up to a loud hiss. He jumped and stared at the snake that's head was raised to meet his own.
#Nagini?!# Harry hissed. The tiredness in his voice still evident, even through parseltongue.
#Snakeling must get out of bed# Nagini hissed back.
#Why?#
#Master says you will eat breakfast before going to the platform#
Harry face palmed, how could it have slipped his mind that he was going back to Hogwarts today?
#Master needs snakeling up so he can discuss his plans#
Harry groaned but got up. He ran his hands along Nagini's scales before grabbing a pair of robes from his trunk. He knew how much Voldemort resented muggle clothes and he didn't feel like angering his father so soon in the morning. Once he was done Harry left his room and waited for Hermione in their common room, Nagini right behind him.
#Why are you not wearing a glamour?#
Harry looked down at the snake. #I don't need it until I leave for the platform. No need to waste magic.#
She nodded before resting on one of the rugs in the large room.
Hermione's door opened, and she walked out. When she saw Nagini, Hermione jumped and let out a screech.
Nagini's head was immediately raised and she looked around with sharp eyes, as if surveying the area for danger.
#Why did you jump snakeling?# She asked Hermione.
Hermione just stared, frozen, at the big snake.
"Harry... Why is it hissing at me?..." She managed to get out.
Harry remembered that Hermione couldn't speak parseltongue and interfered before Nagini could get offended for being ignored.
#Hermione's not a speaker like me and father. She didn't inherit the ability.#
Nagini looked from Harry to Hermione the back again. Seeming to sigh she rested back down.
Harry shook his head a little amused at the snake's antics and looked at Hermione who was still frozen against the wall.
"She won't hurt you 'Mione. Nagini was just wondering why you'd jumped and screeched."
"I jumped because there's a ten foot snake right next to you!"
"Twelve foot actually."
Hermione rolled her eyes and hesitantly made her way towards Harry. Her eyes never leaving Nagini.
"Seriously Hermione, it's as if you forget that you're her master's daughter." Harry said chuckling.
The trio made their way down the stairs and into the halls of Slytherin Manor. While they were walking Harry saw the brothers, Rodolphus and Rabastan. They over exaggeratedly bowed to them before continuing on their way. Hermione gave Harry a confused look while the latter didn't seem surprised at all, instead Harry was shaking his head with a small smile on his face.
