they say that great beasts once roamed this world. as big as mountains. yet all that’s left of them is bone and amber. time undoes even the mightiest of creatures. just look at what it’s done to you. one day you will perish. you will lie with the rest of your kind in the dirt. your dreams forgotten, your horrors effaced. your bones will turn to sand. and upon that sand a new god will walk. one that will never die. because this world doesn’t belong to you or the people who came before. it belongs to someone who has yet to come.
concept: instead of hedwig, Harry goes into the pet store and this little snake in the back of the store talks to him, obviously gets his attention more than the other animals, and harry feels sorry for it so he takes it home. Then the snake helps Harry throughout his years at hogwarts as harry carries it wrapped around his hand all like “pssssst, haaarryyy, the dark lord isss coming sss” or just petty shit like “haaaarrryy, now is the time, assskkk out cho chaaannngg”
The snake getting really agitated in second year and Harry like ‘Aw, what’s wrong little friend?’
And snake’s like ‘Nah don’t worry it’s cool, it’s just that big fuck-off snake in the pipes that keeps making you think you’re hearing things—it’s like, ten thousand foot long, and I’m a corn snake, so you know. Bit intimidating.’
Third year he eats Scabbers and saves them all a lot of time
