Chapter One: Sweet Sixteen

Twelve Years Later-

I look at my snake family one last time and smile. For the past eleven years I have lived in this forest as a snake, but last week was my 16th birthday which means it is time for me to find my mate. To get used to being human again I have spent most of the past week in my human form. I have turned into a handsome male or as my young snake sister claims, a ‘hottie’. My skin has never tanned even though I haven’t worn clothes in years. I still have pale creamy skin which other animals have told me seem to be a favorite of my kind. My hair is still straight, thick and dark brown which falls just bellow my buttocks. My green eyes are still in tune with my emotions and change to match them, like when I desire someone my eyes get very dark. I discovered this the first time I saw my mate from afar.

The first day I met my snake mom, Hera, was the day she decided on the perfect mate for me. Really it wasn’t that difficult since he is the only other snake speaker that any of us have heard of. He pet Nagini has helped to scare away any sluts who tried to take him before I was old enough to be with him. Now I’m finally old enough and ready. When it was discovered that my mate was a wizard like me, my animal family went to work on finding way to train me. My mate is very strong and would not want a weak mate either. I should feel bad that all the books I have learned from are stolen but I don’t. If that knowledge helps me gain my mate it is worth it. I check to make sure all my possessions are shrunk and in the special chest I made. There is a spell on it to send it to my location in a week’s time. It was decided that the best plane for wining over my mate was to spend a few days as his pet. I wave good-bye one last time and transport myself to a mile from my mate’s latest location. I quickly change into a rare silver and green poisonous snake from Brazil’s magical forest and slither towards my new home. Oh, my mate was once known as Tom Riddle but is now known as Lord Voldemort. And I am Harry Potter; also know as the boy-who-lived, but I will not let that stop me from claiming my mate.

I slither up to the patio where I can smell my mate. He must be having afternoon tea. I quietly slide up the table while he is distracted talking to a man who smells of potions. I curl up on his plate and wait for him to notice me.

Voldemort’s PoV-

I was talking with Severus about the latest idea for a potion to prevent damage from Crucio when I hear a soft hissing sound. I look down at the table and spot the most magnificent snake I have ever seen. The snake is around three feet long and maybe an inch and half wide. The coloring is very unusual with stripes of silver and green, Slytherin colors. I’ve only heard of these snakes being spotted in the magical forests of Brazil. Severus has gone very still and he must recognize that the snake is poisonous.

~Hello there, little one, you are very beautiful. What are you doing such a long way from? I am Lord Voldemort but you may call me Tom~

~Hello Tom, I am Sly, he-who-captures-tricky-prey. It is nice to meet a snake speaker. I have heard rumors of your existence. I was minding my own business one day when this stupid human grabbed me and left me in the middle of the forest here. I guess he discovered that there was more to me than just a pretty appearance. I have been searching for away home since, but I think I would rather stay with you. I like having someone to talk with. You have a nice smell and are very handsome for a human.~

~Well thank you pretty one. I would be honored if you would stay with me. ~ I feel myself blush faintly at his last comment. If he wasn’t a snake I would swear that he was trying to hit on me. I gently pick Sly up and let him loop around my neck with his head resting on my left shoulder.

‘Severus, this is Sly. He will be staying with me for a while. I’m sure if you ask nicely he might be willing to give you some of his venom for your potions.’ I smile at Severus, who is one of my closet friends. We both stand up and head inside. We have a large meeting to get ready for tonight, there is a big battle planned to get those damn order of birdbrains. I stroke Sly’s head as I get settled on my throne and start going over the map of the up coming battle grounds. What surprises me is that Sly actually has some helpful comments on strategy ideas. Between Sly, Severus, and me, we have the battle plan perfected in time for the rest of the death eaters to show.

Once all of the death eater’s arrive I stand up to make to make my battle speech.

“Tonight we will strike a large blow to the Order of the Phoenix. Tonight we will strike them at their most vulnerable, their hidden base at Grimmwald. These idiots believe that because it was invisible there was no need for strong protection wards. The only wards that have been found are the basic wards one puts on any normal house.” I wave my hand and a piece of paper appears in the hands of each death eater, “What you now have in your hands is your battle plan. We will be attacking on five different fronts. That piece of paper will vanish once you leave here so make sure you understand your job. Remember not only are we showing the Order how vulnerable they are but also we want to take back the Blacks library. There will be a reward for the death eater who brings back the most books. Destroy the Order of the Phoenix and bring strength back to wizarding kind!” I shout and they all applaud. One by one they all leave, each one going to their assigned places.

~Let’s go destroy some Phoenixes~ I say and stroke Sly’s chin. He hisses his agreement. I transport the both of us to our attack spot.
