Summary
“But I’m a person, not a snake. How come we can talk?”
“Snakes consider themselves people, Harrypotter, just as humans, scruffy or not, do, and you will do well to remember as such.” the snake rebuked.
Harry curled inwards on himself a little. It seemed the awful manners Aunt Petunia was always berating him for stretched to conversations with snakes too. “Oh. Sorry. I… I guess that makes sense.”
“Apology accepted.” The snake’s hissing tone seemed to soften. “Even rude, scruffy humans must ask questions, I suppose.”
Harry frowned. There wouldn’t be many other snakes to talk to, would there? “How long have you been here?”
“I am uncertain. I believe it to be several moons. I have escaped my previous prisons with relative ease, but have yet to find a way out of this boring box.”
Harry felt a pang of sympathy - he knew what it was like to be trapped.
“Regardless, you are not a snake, for no snake would have such a weak jaw.” the Boomslang hissed, seemingly amused. “You, Harrypotter, are a Parselmouth.”Or: Harry befriends a snake before Hogwarts, and then The Plot Starts
