Hisss-torically Heroic
“DAMMIT, STOP FOLLOWING ME!”
Kaden’s annoyance with this little garden snake had gotten out of hand. It was enough that the snakes of the world could talk to him…it was a whole different thing to be following him back to the castle. Since he was about five or six, he had discovered this ‘gift’ to talk to and sometimes influence snakes and other serpentine creatures. It was stressing him the hell out. How was he supposed to be this great war hero like his parents? Like his grandmother? If this gift was a sign that he was descended from Salazar Slytherin?
Huffing with exasperation, Kaden looked at the snake, “You’re not going to leave me alone…are you?” The snake shook his head, “Figures. Alright, come on then.” Kaden walked along the forest path, the snake following behind closely. Thoughts flooded the young lion's mind, how would he keep this a secret. Parselmouths weren’t exactly popular or common. Nobody knew his secret, not his parents, Hector, Jon, Rae or Mattie. This would be hard to keep with a snake following him around everywhere.
Hissss.
“Greggory? Is that your name?” the snake nodded his little head. “I’m Kaden.” They reached the edge of the forest and before stepping onto the grounds, he bent down and scooped up Greggory to keep him in his robes pocket and out of sight.
“Can you say other things?” he whispered to the snake as they walked up to the castle.
