It was hot. Nothing like the weather upon England, but who would compare England to Australia. The large noon sun was blazing down on the desert ground, it was so hot, even the animals took cover. There was one group that was crammed under a medium sized tree by a little watering hole. Tourists to be specific. A whole charter bus of tourists were sitting under the blissful shade of the tree while a few children played in the cool water. One child specifically was named Harry Potter.

"Out of my way four eyes!" Dudley said, Shoving the 8 year old boy that was kneeling by the edge of the shallow water. Harry wobbled a bit but caught himself right before he could hit the water. Harry mumbled under his breath but tried to ignore Dudley and his antics as he swirled his finger in the clear sparkling water in figure eights. Suddenly he felt something on his wrist and was yanked into the knee deep water.

"Boy, get over here!" The shrill voice of his aunt called. He began to get to his feet, fixing his wet glasses and wrung out his shirt and shorts. "Goddamnit boy, stop being so clumsy! Sit over there and try to not be an embarrassment." Vernon said in a hushed voice, all the while gripping onto Harry's wrist. When he let go Harry went over to the other side of the tree and fumed silently hike rubbing his wrist. 'It wasn't my fault that I fell into the water!'

Then there was a scream coming from a few meters away from Harry. Everyone perked up from under the tree and practically raced to see what was happening. There was a woman on the ground cowering in fear of a very large snake. It had to be at least 7 or 8 feet long, and it was standing to half it's height, with it's mouth open and hissing noises were spurting forth.

In seconds the tour guide was next to the terrified woman with gun in hand. "Everybody stay calm!" He said in his thick Australian accent. He aimed and fired. The snake fell to the ground, ceasing all movement.

'Hiss'

A menacing sound made the tour guide jump a bit and make a full 180. There wasanother snake a bit smaller than the first one but twice as angry it seemed. Another gun shot rang out killing the other snake before it could strike. "There must be a nest near here..." the tour guide mused to himself. Most of the crowd dispersed back to the shade of the tree, just a few followed the tour guide on his search for the nest.

Harry looked at the tour guide in horror as he followed him. "Why did you kill those snakes?" He asked.

The tour guide, never turning around, answered with "They were about to kill someone kid."

"No they weren't! Didn't you hear them?" Harry said.

"Listen kid, leave this kind of stuff to the adults, Kay?" The tour guide ran his fingers through his hair in a frustrated manner.

The grumpy Harry still followed him but slightly farther behind than he was initially. Was he the only one who had heard the voice?

"Ha! Found you, you little sucker!" the few that we're following the tour guide crowded around him to catch a glimpse of the small snake in the hole peaking a bit of its head head.

'Mommy?'

Harry pushed through the people when he heard the small voice. He saw the small snake start to come out, it obviously didn't sense he danger it was in.

'Mommy?'

There the voice was again. Harry saw the tour guide raise his weapon slowly, steadying it. But before he could fire, Harry intervened.

"Wait! He's not even doing anything, Let him go." He said as he crouched by the snake.

The tour guide spluttered before yelling right back at the boy. "Get away from it kid, you're gunna get bitten!"

'Do you know where my mum is?'

Harry looked at the snake in fascination. 'Did you just speak?'

'Yes. Now tell me where my mum is.' The snake slithered out of the hole and it was no more than one foot long. The people around screamed, including the tour guide.

"Kid watch out!"

'That man over there killed her.' Harry stated simply pointing at the man with the gun.

The little snake began hissing crazily, and turned to the man. The man raised his gun again ready to fire but before he could, Harry scooped the snake into his arms shielding him from the gun. "Please don't kill him." Harry cried to the man. The snake only looked at the dark haired boy in wonder.

'Was this boy...protecting him?' the snake thought. An then he looked around to see a rather large crowd of people staring down at him. The snake seemed to freeze in Harry's arms and then it slithered into his sleeve and made its way up and hid its self around Harry's neck.

'Whats wrong?' The boy asked the snake.

'They are scaring me.' The snake hissed back at him, tucking its head into it tail around Harry's neck.

"You're scaring him." Harry said to the people, who just looked at the small child and the snake in amazement.
