--Archive: Just let me know
--Terms of Challenge:
*Harry was raised by a serpent (or any other anguiform being), so the only language he understand was Parseltongue.
* Harry had stayed with the Dursleys until he was 4 years old, and was abuse by them, thus his distrust of humans.
* Harry learn to become an Animagus (by himself or from others, whatever), and he choose his animagus form to be a silver (or black) serpent.
* Voldemort would thinks Harry is just an unknown poisonous snake and take him as his new pet (at first anyhow).

Prologue

Everyone knows the story of Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, Savior of the Wizarding World, etceteras and of his guardians, the magic-hating Dursleys. I don’t like or agree with the Dursleys, but I can understand their outlook. People hate what they fear and it is human nature to fear the unknown. So, in case there are any more Dursleys out there, I am going to attempt to explain magic as I understand it.

Magic is nothing more or less then the will needed to explore impossible possibilities. Anyone who’s ever played “what if” knows it, at least on some level. Magic is the Great What If, the power to not just speculate on the impossible but to create it, to bring into existence what could never have been. The power, if you will, of faith in potential.

This story too is a What If, an exploration of possibilities and circumstances that never occurred in the “real” world of the cannon. Like all fan fiction it speaks of might-have-beens, but indulge me, and remember this:

Anything is possible.
Enjoy.
