These two are for
artimusdin , who inspires me liek whoa ^__^ The second one isn't that well written because i'm falling asleep, sorry. maybe i'll edit/expand later.
"... Is it me, or did you just... hiss?" Sakura inquired politely, blinking at Harry.
Harry winced. He'd seen the black-haired Slytherin's pet and hadn't realized he'd shifted languages. "Uhm. Yes?"
Naruto blinked, then grinned widely. "That was kinda creepy. Do it again?"
Well, that was still a better reaction than being called a freak. Besides, the black-haired guy was coming closer, frowning, and he was one person Harry was quite wary of. Not that he was scared, but he'd turn his back on the bloke even less than on almost any of his housemates.
He looked at the snake -- weird colors, and it was staring at him, and -- well. "Hello. My name is Harry."
"... my, my, how interesting. THAT I have to tell Manda." The snake stared at him a while longer, then poofed out of existence.
"What the -- What happened to your pet?!"
Sasuke grumbled, vaguely annoyed that it had left without waiting for dismissal. "It's not a pet, it's a summon... Whatever. You speak snake?"
"... It's called Parseltongue. A few wizards have the ability." If they didn't know it was Dark, though, he wasn't telling them.
"Whoa, kinda cool. Any snakes? 'cause Sasuke's big ones can speak on their own, but some of my littlest frogs can't and--"
"Naruto, he doesn't understand what you're talking about," the pink-haired girl reminded him, along with a bonk on his head. "Sasuke has -- I guess you'd call it a spell, that allows him to summon snakes. Any kind of snake, be they garden snakes or demon snakes. And the demon snakes can speak."
Harry blanched a little. "Demon?" And he could call them from anywhere, just like that? What Voldemort wouldn't give for that power...
"Ahh, not demon like you think, just -- kind of magical animals?" she reassured him quickly. "Naruto can do the same thing with frogs and toads."
"Ah. And you?" he asked politely, though what he really wanted to know was where were his own friends, and why they'd left him alone with the crazy trio.
"... slugs," she admitted with a wince. "I didn't choose them!"
Sasuke scowled, and interrupted her before she could babble more. "You know what snakes say?"
"... Yes?"
"Any snakes?"
"Yes, even magical snakes. ... Why?"
"There's a man, who I think speaks your language. He... said things to me. I want to know what they were." Sasuke looked away briefly, trying to remember the sounds, then started reproducing them to the best of his abilities.
"Well, you've got a but of an accent, but so far it sounds like -- BLOODY HELL." Harry sputtered, turning a violent red.
Naruto leaned toward him, almost bouncing. "What? What? What did the old snake pervert say?"
"I am certainly NOT translating that!" Harry retorted, mortally embarrassed. "But, uhm. If he said -- I mean..." Naruto HAD called the guy the snake-pervert, though, and now Harry was uncomfortably aware of how appropriate and yet totally inadequate that was. "I would advise you to watch your rea-- YOUR BACK. Watch your back."
He hurried away quickly, bemoaning the loss of his mental purity.
"Hey, guys, wouldn't it be the best place to hide if you were on stakeout?" Naruto commented as he pointed at the forest, so close to the hut where the Slytherins and Gryffindors were having a Care of Magical Creatures lesson.
"Yes, except for the place being called Forbidden Forest for a reason," Sasuke replied, snorting, and kept on following Hagrid toward the edge of the woods.
"Hey, we did survive the Forest of Death, we'd have no trouble in this one -- by the way, what's up with these names? You'd think they want to scare us away or something -- oh, wait."
Sakura, who was skipping a class to "provide them with more support", rolled her eyes. "So, what are you studying today?" she asked Sasuke brightly, equally happy with spending quality time with him and knowing the subject of her next lesson in advance.
"... horses, apparently," he replied, pointing toward a herd of shiny white horses slowly walking out of the forest.
"Vicious-looking horses," Naruto replied as he eyed their horns warily.
"Oh!! These are unicorns!" she replied, delighted, as the herd came to a stop.
"They magical too, Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked curiously.
"Yes, they have many magical properties, and --"
"Whatever. They're just horses." Sasuke shrugged and walked away from the group to check out the edge of the forest.
"But, Sasuke, it's interesting, they can --"
"I don't need to know about horses," he replied absently, his eyes trying to pierce the darkness.
When his shoulder was bumped into, he swatted back at the offending touch, and turned back to glare at Naruto.
It was a silvery-white muzzle that greeted him instead. He froze, eyeing the unicorn warily.
"What do you want?"
It nuzzled him again, insistently.
"Pet it," Naruto advised, from afar as the horse started huffing and pawing at the ground the second he stepped closer.
Sasuke obeyed, and two seconds later wondered why he was hearing snickers. The loudest were from his own House, actually.
"Hey, Uchiha," Malfoy called. "So you can pet unicorns, eh? Were you hiding something from us?"
"Well, he IS awfully pretty..." one of his bodyguards commended, and laughed.
Sasuke gave the horned horse a last absent pat, and stalked back toward the group, determined to break a few bones.
"Sakura. The unicorns..." he demanded as he approached her.
"They, uhm, they usually only let, a certain kind of people touch them..."
"What kind?" he asked for confirmation as he stalked past, though with the snickers and Hagrid's bewildered looks at his uniform, he could guess.
"Uhm... girls. Virgin girls."
With her words the boys started laughing even louder.
A second later Sasuke had flickered from view, and reappeared nose to nose with Draco.
"If you're so jealous, I can't do anything about your lack of virginity, but I sure can help you become a girl."
Malfoy gulped. Sasuke was smirking, the kind of smile Sakura and Naruto didn't like because it was modeled after Orochimaru's. It did its job, though.
"We understand each other."
Malfoy nodded. The hold Sasuke had on his balls was tightening.
They would have stared at each other forever, the ferret and the viper, if Sasuke hadn't been nudged from behind again.
The unicorn whinnied, and lipped at his hair. Sasuke scowled and twitched away. It was disgusting. Now he had magical horse slobber in his hair.
The unicorn gave him a miserable look. Sighing, he pet it grudgingly.
Hagrid was still trying to get the unicorn to stop following Sasuke when they reached the castle.
"You have to admit, it's highly unusual, Sasuke-kun," Sakura was saying. She was still miffed because no unicorn had wanted anything to do with her, despite her being pretty sure that she was still a good eighty percent pure, at least.
"... shut up," Sasuke growled back, and stomped faster.
"Ah -- it did... seem to be a little weird, as far as unicorns went -- I'm sure it wasn't you..." she mumbled, trying to make it better.
"Yeah! Maybe it's a gay unicorn," Naruto piped up from his other side.
"... Oh, just shut up."
you're all welcome to challenge me, though i reserve the right to only use the ideas that do inspire me. (provided i'm still in the mood for this particular brand of crack tomorrow)
In other news my connection sucks donkey cocks. I'll reply to the comments tomorrow, because right now i'm going to bed, before i kick the stupid modem. *growls*
