AN: Hey everyone! Ignis here with a new chapter! tyrannicpuppy has been busy with real life stuff, like work, so he couldn't beta the chapter this time. Sorry in advance if there's a lot of mistakes.

A big thank you to everyone who has been favoriting, following and reviewing. It means a lot!

I'll with you at the end so...ON WITH THE STORY!

It had been a month since the team had come back from Britain, a month they had used to teach Luna the animagus transformation, have her take the multimagus pill and then have her react to the stone. Her natural form had been a flying fox, a kind of bat whose diet consisted on pollen and nectar, and she had quickly added to that a raven, a fennec fox (she had said it was too adorable to pass up) and an ocelot. Once she had interacted with the Stone, her aura glowing a soft silver, her raven form had shifted into a Hrafn, a Norse, incredibly smart kind of raven that was the inspiration for Hugin and Munin, Odin's ravens.

They had also finally managed to know Harry's baby sibling's sex, he was gonna have a little sister to protect once she was born. This had prompted laughs from Lykos. "At this rate, we will have to wait until Voldemort is done with and the Longbottom move here before having another guy in the team." He had said between laughs. He had earned a playful slap upside his head from Dora for that.

But the basilisk egg had been moving the past few days, and now Harry had called them through intercom to meet him in the lab, it was time.

They met in the main room in the lab, Harry already waiting for them there with the egg's incubator at his side. In the past moth, the egg had lost its white, solid coloration and had started to look more like an emerald, allowing them to see the baby basilisk growing inside.

They saw the egg shake a bit and the little snake inside start to hit the shell with her head, slowly cracking it. And then she was free.

Her eyes were a dull yellow, that with time would start shining and would become deadly to look at, though she would be able to keep herself from killing anyone covering her eyes with a secondary set of eyelids, if what Nicholas said was true. Her scales were a pale green, that would darken in the coming days until they were the same dark green as her mother's.

"She's so cute!" Gushed Luna as they all watched the little basilisk look around and taste the air.

"Harry, why don't you try speaking to her?" Suggested Lykos, nudging the boy forward.

Harry crouched until his face was right in front of the little snake and started hissing, the rest watching expectantly, wondering if she was gonna say her first words, or was that hisses? They suddenly hear a soft, almost silent sound, noticing that Harry had stopped speaking.

"What is she saying?" Whispered Pharah.

"I can't understand her," Harry whispered back, "she's talking gibberish."

"Doesn't surprise me," chimed in Rose, still whispering so Harry could still hear the little snake, "she's just come out of the shell, she's literally a newborn,you wouldn't expect a baby to start speaking the moment it was born, would you?"

"Does that mean that Harry and James will have to teach her how to speak?" Asked Hermione.

"I don't know, and I doubt anyone does except for those who have raised a basilisk." The young woman answered her, still looking at Harry hissing at the newborn snake.

"She's such a cutie," said Luna, coming to stand beside the hissing boy and started to coo over the baby snake.

"I'll call uncle James and the Flamels, they might know a bit more about what Harry will have to do while raising her." Said Lykos, going to the nearest computer to make the call.

A couple of minutes later, not only James and the Flamels had arrived, but everyone else in Watchpoint had decided to come and meet the new addition to their numbers. She may not be human, ape or robot, but she was one of them now, nonetheless.

"Don't worry Harry," said Perenelle with a reassuring smile, "her language is in her blood, like with all animals, you won't have to teach her how to speak. Though it would help her if you spoke to her as much as possible, and maybe carried her around with you, so she gets used to everyone." She told him.

Meanwhile, James had started handling the little snake and softly started to hiss her name at her.

"May I hold her?" Asked Luna, her eyes open wide and shining.

The elder Potter just smiled at her and handed down the small snake, who quickly coiled herself around the blonde's wrist.

"Hello Medusa." Luna said softly, tickling the snake's chin.

-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-

"She seems to have taken a real liking to you." Said Harry the next day while the whole team was sitting in his home backyard as always, seeing how Medusa coiled herself around Luna's forearm the moment she saw her.

"It's a gift," she said, petting the snake's body, "I would like it if Crumple-Horned Snorkacks were as easy to charm though." She pouted.

"A what now?" Asked Hermione.

"A Crumple-Horned Snorkack, they are supposed to live in Sweden, but mummy and daddy have been looking for one for years and haven't found it yet." She told them.

"Huh," said Hermione, "maybe we can help you look? Once Voldemort is dealt with, our job will be done and we won't have much more to do, to be honest." She shrugged.

"Really?" Asked the blonde, her eyes shining with a light of their own, "you would?"

"Why not? It may be fun." Smirked Lykos, who quickly found himself with the little blonde hanging off his neck once again. "You're making an habit out of this!" He told her with a chuckle.

"Enough mushy stuff!" Said Dora, suddenly standing up, "Luna, could you let go of my boyfriend? I want to spar for a bit!"

Luna quickly got off Lykos' neck, allowing the young man to stand up and position himself face to face with his girlfriend, dropping into his battle stance.

"Okay Nym, let's see what you can do!"

At the sound of the sparring partners, the little basilisk rose her head from around Luna's wrist and looked towards them, before turning towards Harry and softly hissed to get his attention. Once she had it, she signaled with his head towards the two fighting humans before turning towards Harry again and tilting her head, not unlike a puppy.

§They are play fighting, small one,§ Harry told her, §it would do you well to watch the taller one, he moves like a snake.§

At that, the baby basilisk turned to watch enraptured the two fighters, that she couldn't really speak yet didn't mean she couldn't understand them! The tall one definitely moved like he was one of her own kind, dodging the attacks of the pink haired one without apparent effort, then sending quick jabs with the ends of his long appendages at her.

She unconsciously started to copy his movements, taking care of not hurting the blonde she liked to hug. Left, right, under, higher, quick bite, under, left, right. She kept copying him until they stopped, displaying their fangs, were they mad at each other now? She looked towards Harry once again, hoping for an explanation. He didn't disappoint.

§They are done play fighting, small one, they are now discussing where they can improve.§ He told her.

"I think we should look into getting you a staff Nym, it would help you with more acrobatic movements, and for a longer reach in close range combat, that seems to be the only reason you can't land too many hits on either Harry or me, we have a longer reaching style." Lykos told his girlfriend, walking back to sit with the rest of the group.

"Yeah, right. With how clumsy I am most of the time, I would end up hitting myself more than the enemy." She joked.

"You aren't clumsy while fighting or training though," pointed out Brigitte, "yeah, at the beginning you were always falling over yourself, but after some training you were barely tripping. It would be the same getting used to wielding a staff," she said, "and I have to admit that I kinda want to see you do some of the moves of the Monkey King style." She admitted sheepishly.

"What weapons would fit the rest of us?" Asked Hermione, "I mean, you and Harry use those daggers of yours, and Dora would use the staff, but what about our styles?"

"Hmm," hummed Rose thoughtfully, "well, an Eagle normally uses fans, daggers and whips, like you have seen me use, actually. Cranes I normally see with long staves, Leopards mostly use daggers, while Panthers and Ghost Bats I've seen mostly with daggers and clawed gloves." She said.

"Think it would be a good idea if we all trained with one of those?" Asked Bri.

"Definitely," nodded Lykos, "with this I don't mean you should drop the hammer Bri, but Leopards are master deceivers, so it would do you well to have a knife and feign injuries during a fight," He told the engineer's daughter.

It was agreed. They would ask the agents to try and get them the weapons they would need to train with, maybe even make them if they could get the designs for Torbjörn. And they would see about teaching Medusa to fight as she grew, though they didn't know if the Cobra style that Harry and Lykos practiced would carry on well enough on her. Only time would tell.

AN: So, how was it? Good? Bad? Let me know in the reviews! Also, if you spot a mistake I overlooked, don't hesitate to let me know! It's the only way I'll get bettter after all.

Another mushy chapter for today, and introducing Medusa the baby basilisk! Also, that little Snorkack bit? You can't have a story featuring the Lovegoods without Snorkacks!

This is the last chapter I will post in this story for a while. I'm gonna take a little rest from this so I can get some new ideas for the next chapters. There will be a Christmas chapter though!

I've got nothing more to add, so I'll see you in my next chapter or story! Or the reviews for other stories, who knows?!
