"Hey Whip! How was your summer with Consetta? Are the babies born yet?" Hari asked as Whiperjade slithered up next to her outside. Consetta was his mate, and he was absolutely smitten with her.
Better! They have begun cracking! Consetta wants you to come name all of them. He said before turning around and going the other direction, towards the forest where he was staying.
"Whiperjade, there's seven of them!" He just cocked his scaly head then continued going towards their nest. Hari followed him deeply into the forest, scaring other students as she followed the black snake.
Here they are silly humans! All males. Hari looked at the snakes. It seemed that Consetta's rainbow snake genes mixed in with all of the children's genes, even the all black one. Two were a mixture of Black and green, three rainbow ones, one black and orange one, one black red one, and the shiny black one. Whip was always a pitchblack color, but never had a glossy coat like the little one did. He must have inherited it from his mother. Well? Name them Master! Hari chuckled but nodded, crouching down to feel the snakes. They were incredibly smooth.
"Hmmm. Well, I will name this one Levi." She said pointing to one of the green snakes. "The other green one will be Floyd. The three rainbow ones will be Solongo, Enfys, and Hanz. The red one will be Guja, and this one will be Inani." She pointed to the orange one who was already moving around and hissing in delight. She looked at the all black one and chuckled. He looked like he was clearly the weakest. "I will name him Marvolo." Marvolo hissed happily and crawled onto her fingers. He was only around 1 foot long, while his older siblings were double that length, Enfys being the longest at two and half feet.
You named him after your mate? That is kind of you master. Hari laughed, when she suddenly heard footsteps. All of the children snakes crawled and wrapped around her, like snake armor. Whiperjade and Consetta stood by the girl, both facing different directions to protect her. Whip tasted the air.
Ah. It is just your silly boy and that silly potions man. Can I taste him today?
"No, You cannot eat my teachers, no matter how delicious they look." She spoke in english to alert Draco and Slughorn of where she was. Both blondes stormed to where she was sitting, Draco giving her a hard glare.
"What?" She asked, confused. "Whip's eggs cracked and I have permission to be here to check on him." Draco gave a squeal before sitting down in the grass next to her.
"This is Solongo, Inani, Marvolo, Enfys, Guja, Hanz, and Levi. Enfys is the oldest, Marvolo is the youngest. They are all crossbreeds between a Rainbow snake and an Obscurus Marmor." Draco laughed as Guja rolled herself into his lap and laid there. Suddenly, they heard more footsteps. Hari looked up to see Umbridge barreling through the woods.
"Miss Potter! What are you doing! Did you force Mr. Malfoy into this?"
"No she did not!" Spoke Professor Slughorn. "Her familiar mated last year and had her eggs, and they finally hatched. She has been waiting since forever for them to hatch, and as her head of house I allowed both of them to watch them hatch."
"How does she control a beast as big as that?!" She screeched. Hari rolled her eyes.
"It said it in the prophet, but I am a parseltongue. This is Whiperjade, he's an Obscurus Marmor. This is Consetta, a rainbow snake." The woman gasped, and Hari knew why. Consetta and Whiperjade were both rare types of snakes, rarely seen. "And these little shits are some cross between them. I haven't thought of a name." She pointed to the seven baby snakes that were chewing on her arms, all without teeth. They must have retracted them. Suddenly she felt two pairs of fangs pierce her left arm. "Ow!"
Sorry Master! Both Marvolo and Solongo hissed.
"It's alright, just be careful next time." They nuzzled her face before beginning to argue with each other about trivial things. Umbridge was shaking, pointing her wand straight at Hari's arm.
"It- It bit! They mu-must be put down!" Hari growled.
"They are newborns, and their venom doesn't affect me. Oh, by the way, Consetta is right behind you. If you try to hurt my snakes you will get bit. Plus, your spell wont do anything."
"DO NOT THREATEN ME! I AM YOUR PROFESSOR, SOON TO BE THE HIGH INQUISITOR OF HOGWARTS!" Hari giggled, wand held loosely.
"I'm not threatening you! I'm just giving you a simple fact!"
"ANOTHER WEEK OF DETENTIONS FOR YOUR BLATANT DISRESPECT MISS POTTER!" Hari giggled again, almost psychotically, and left with Professor SLughorn and Draco, before crying in laughter. Draco was rolling around the ground while Horace tried to hold in his chuckles.
"I aM tHE HigH InQUisItOR Of HoGwaRTs!" Draco did in a fake Umbridge voice, sending Hari into another fit of laughter. Marvolo hissed his laughter. He had decided to explore the castle with Hari for the rest of the day, and stay until his fangs grew in. He didn't want to be the runt of the group, and the big humans would protect him.

"Hem Hem." Professor Umbridge said as she entered McGonagall's class.
"Yes?" McGonagall ground out, teeth clenching together.
"I was just wondering, Professor, whether you received my note saying I was inspecting?"
"Obviously I received it, or I would have been asking you why you were here." McGonagall snapped. Hari barely contained her giggles. She turned to the class.
"As I was saying class, today we shall be practicing a more difficult version of vanishing mice. Now, the vanishing spell-" She was cut off by another 'Hem Hem'. She turned and glared at the pink woman. "I wonder how you expect to gain an idea of my usual teaching methods if you continue to interrupt me? You see, I usually do not let anyone talk while I am teaching." Umbridge tutted before writing something down on her clipboard.
"Hey Marvolo, since you're still so small, can I ask you to slither up Umbridge's back and scare her, and also see what she is writing?" The snake nodded. Hari casted a feather-light charm on him and watched as he slithered around. She looked up just in time to see McGonagall give her a small wink, not even stopping in what she was saying. Most would push it away as an eye twitch, but Hari knew better, was taught better. Hari almost laughed as she heard a loud "EEEK!"
"Miss Potter! Come get this slimy, nasty snake of yours! And another week of detentions!"
"That is not fair! I can't control them until they learn how to coherently hiss, and they can't. I can only make out a few words! I'm just glad he didn't bit you! You see, he is teething, and his fangs hold more venom then the adults normally do because he is still trying to-" She was cut off by the woman pointing at the door and huffing.
"Just- Just put it outside!"
"But he could get stepped on!"
"I DO NOT CARE!" She bellowed. "PUT IT OUTSIDE!" Hari grumbled but stood up and walked out of the room. She knelt down and let the snake slither into her robes. Before sighing. This was going to be a long year.
"Okay, he's outside. He found some rat to chase. If he dies I'm suing you." Hari said as she sat down. Before Umbridge could respond, McGonagall roped her into a few complicated questions where she had to answer in full paragraphs. Whenever she would award points to the Gryffindors Umbridge would strike a line on her parchment.
"Hey Marv, what did they paper say?" She asked when no one was looking.
Itsss trying to get her fired. Ssshe wants her gone and trying to frame her for house biased. Hari groaned which caught the attention of Umbridge.
"Is something wrong Miss Potter?" Hari nodded.
"Yeah there is. WHERE DO THE RATS GO?" Umbridge looked confused. "When you vanish them, where do they go? Space? Or antarctica? Do they just cease to exist? What if I banished a living person? Or an animal? What would happen?" Umbridge and McGonagall stared at her shocked. No one had ever questioned this before, Hari guessed.
"We don't know where normal items go, but if you banish a person they end up somewhere else, depending on the strength behind the spell." McGonagall answered for her. Hari nodded and sat down, enjoying the looks on everyone's faces.
"W-Well, let's continue with this lesson. So can anyone tell me the proper incantation for the Summoning charm?" She called on Ron.
"Accio, right?" McGonagall nodded before composing herself and continuing on as normal.

"Hermione, are you on crack?" Hari asked. Hermione looked scandalized.
"Of course not Hari! I'm just saying, you should teach us defense! You have had the highest scores since the beginning of forever!" She said loudly.
"'Mione, I really respect the way you want to help everyone, but let me enjoy my Hogsmeade weekend." Hari said as she tightened her scarf.
"Fine, can we atleast go to Hogshead for drinks? I don't feel like going to the Three Broomsticks." Hari laughed and wrapped her arm around Hermione's shoulder. Hermione led them into a shady looking place.
"Hello Mr. Dumbledore." Hari paused and looked at the old man, wary about who he was. She was shocked when the man sneered.
"I told you not to call me that. My brother is Dumbledore, I'm just Aberforth." Hermione sighed, before looking at Hari who had a raised eyebrow. Aberforth began explaining.
"My brother cut me off when I claimed Morally Grey instead of Light. I don't know why it mattered. Not like I claimed to be a dark wizard.." Hari's eyes widened.
"And what would you say, if a family member suddenly claimed dark?" Aberforth chuckled and noticed the glint in her eyes.
"Nothing of course! I have a dark core myself, but I don't discriminate. My late fiancé, Rhea, was a dark wizard. However when her brother claimed to be a black wizard I did cut them off, but that's besides the point. Dark and Black magic are two different things."
"I know that sir. Dumbledore seems to want nothing to do with me when I outed myself as a Dark Witch, I wanted to see if you were the same."
"Course not. Everyone needs a healthy dose of each magic." hari smiled, and followed a shaken hermione to a room filled with a group of people.
"Hari, did you actually mean what you said, about you being a dark witch?" Hari nodded.
"Yes I did. Neville and Ron, George and Fred are all Dark wizards, but aren't Black Wizards like Voldemort is. It mostly has to do with our magical cores and our affinity for magic. I have a mostly dark core. Now." She turned to the group of people standing there. "It seems like Hermione tried to trick me into being a defensive group leader or something, so I came prepared." She summoned her blue bag and pulled out a set of twenty quills, matching the 15 people in the room.
"Here. Tricky bit of magic this is, but you can all create a password for the pen to only activate for you. It shows the time that we are going to meet. I will call my elf Elca to show you to the seventh floor corridor. Here, take one." All the students nodded slowly, before grabbing the quills. Hari passed one to Hermione, who stared at her.
"How did you know?" Hari smirked and pointed a finger at Luna Lovegood.
"Thanks to Little Luna here. She told me of your conversation you had with Ronald, and what you were trying to create. I just asked Papa and he helped with some 'Unspeakable magic' as he called it. A bunch of bogus if you ask me. Anyway, she also said that you wanted to meet with me today so I kept the bag of quills on me. Seems like I was correct." She looked down at the list of people on a piece of paper, the title being 'Dumbledore's Army.'
"Yeah, we're changing this title." She pulled out a plain piece of parchment and ink. She began copying everything down.

"Seems like everything is in order then. I guess I will see you all on..." She fiddled with the quill. "In a few days. October ninth good for everyone?" When she got a round of nods, she sent it to everyone. Some giggled when it buzzed against their fingers. "Now, say or add your password and you're all set. Now, I've got a date to crash between Draco and Terry, so I'm gonna go. Oh! And if anyone tells Umbridge about the DA, they got the words Traitor ingrained into their skin, permanently." She smirked evilly before skipping out of the open room, leaving everyone but Ron, Luna, and Neville shivering.
