Chapter 110 - Nagini

Looking At this snake, Gray smiled gently.

"Is it the snake you are looking for?" Watching the weird green snake, looking at her ghost aggressively, Perona asked.

"Not so sure... But it should be..." Gray smiled and walked slowly toward the snake.

The snake looked at the ghosts around and was really annoyed, but suddenly the snake felt something from the side and looked there.

What she saw made it pause in its place.

From between the trees, Gray walked slowly toward the snake with his long white hair, and silver eyes, looking at the snake eyes directly with a smile on his face.

Normally the animals won't react to a humanoid creature and gave the same reaction as this snake, if it was a normal snake it would have already attacked Gray, who's already so close to it.

Soon the snake woke up and gave a warning sound to Gray as if it's telling him to back off.

But Gray didn't care about this and opened his mouth and said something very weird.

"Au&TH#BLA!!BLA#BLA*ORS^HS" What Gray said was more like a dark whispers sounds, so dark and deep.

Perona behind Gray only floated and watched everything silently.

The snake heard Gray's words and didn't do anything but sided its head and looked at Gray weirdly.

It could understand what Gray is saying.

"[email protected]#[email protected]%&^$" The more Gray whisper the more the snake calms down until finally Gray reached in front of the snake and stretched his hand.

Parseltongue! the snake language... the skill Gray copied from Harry when he came to this world the first time.

The snake didn't move and looked at Gray for a few seconds till it finally moved slowly toward Gray's hand.

Perona saw this and thought that Gray has charmed the snake, so she watched everything with great interest.

But the snake's next action scared Perona.

The snake actually moved in a circle around Gray's body bounding him in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the snake's actions, Gray smiled and didn't care, just watched the snake that already bounded his body and stopped in front of his eyes.

But this time from his eyes there is a weird majestic force slowly speared directly to snake eyes, and started whispering again.

This process took only a few minutes, till finally, the snake couldn't resist Gray's spiritual magic that is mixed with his Haki and lowered its head and loosened itself from Gray's body while rubbing Gray hand trying to show its goodwill or its surrender, while also whispering the same weird whispers Gray used just now!

Gray smiled and touched the snakehead as if he's playing with it. But in fact, he's checking the snake disks.

Gray ignored the first two disks and entered the E disk which is the memories disk.

Looking inside, Gray found very messy animal memories. Snake's life memories... Hunting this, following that... But this is not what he wants to see, so he searched further for older memories.

The more he goes back, the weirder the memories get.

And soon he found the weirdest memories that shouldn't be inside a snake mind.

These memories are very sad and twisted.

What Gray saw was memories of a little girl who was born with a curse in her blood.

A beautiful little girl's called Nagini...

This little girl curse was something called A blood malediction!!

(Maledictus means curse in Latin)

A Maledictus is a female individual who carries a blood curse that eventually turns her into a beast permanently!!!

This curse usually carried from birth and passed down from mother to daughter.

Unlike the normal Animagus, who can turn into a certain animal the way they want, the blood curse has a big problem, at first, the cursed one will be able to transform between human and animal the way he wants, but this will gradually become uncontrollable. Till one day the cursed one will be stuck in his animal form forever.

This means this snake is not a real snake!.... Or wasn't a real snake at some point.

And that's why it's called a curse...

Nagini grew up hiding this fact because, those who are like her are just toys to be killed by pureblood wizards, till one day she was caught by a man called Skender another pureblood wizard, who claimed to have found her in the 'jungles of Indonesia... And use her for his freaks show.

Then she met another man at that time who had a similar situation to her but much stronger than her...

A boy who developed a dark parasitic force known as an Obscurus and became an Obscurial... Looking at Credence power as Obscurial, Gray's mind added another goal to his list... And there's that man in his prison...

After many twists and turns, her fate ultimately led her to here... And after living as a snake for too long, while her nature also changed from that of human to a snake by time, only a cold snake nature remains with human wisdom.

Seeing these memories, Gray felt happy!

Since he came to this world he naturally put his eyes on the magical creates in this world.

But animals are animals, no matter how he looks at it. So if Gray wants to have an animal as his partner, naturally he will choose a good one.

Is Nagini good compared with other creatures?

Well... First, Nagini was a human to begin with, which means as a snake, her wisdom allows her to do what no animal can do in this world.

Second is what he knows about her history and the future he knows about her.

As a human, Nagini wasn't evil neither bad in nature, and her love and loyalty to those she cares about are very real.

By watching her memories just now, Gray got a clear idea of how good her heart was. Even after all the bad experiences she had.

And even after becoming a snake for a long time, some parts of her personality didn't change.

From his own memories, when Voldemort found her and turned her into his Horcrux, she showed a very deep connection and loyalty to him! And most likely all the ugly things she was supposed to do in the next few years, was for her own master's sake, besides she became a snake for a very long time already, it's good enough that her intelligent didn't lower to that of snake till now. And that shows her loyalty and love for the person she loves never changed.

Maybe when Voldemort's soul fragment fused with her, probably the last ray of goodness was erased and replaced by a real ruthless heart.

Even though her loyalty for Voldemort might be because he made her a Horcrux. But it's not a rule that Horcrux should be loyal to Voldemort... After all, Harry is the best example. Mostly it's a connection between minds only, and some change in personality. Harry himself, will suffer from this in the future.

but this future now has changed since he found her first. If he didn't find her, soon enough something will happen, and either Voldemort finds her or she finds him.

Good thing, from the memories he learned that she doesn't eat humans... till now...

And Gray has the confidence to win the loyalty of Nagini, he already conquered her by the normal way of Haki. As for heart loyalty... Simply find a way to plant an {idea} on her. After all, he can do this with the ring, and by what he can see, maybe the idea won't be needed. As long as he gave Nagini a reason to let her stay beside him.

So Gray chose her to be his partner, not a pet... But a real partner... She wasn't an animal, to begin with, so it's not right to think of her as a pet... and Gray doesn't think a mindless animal who only does what an animal should do is a good choice to keep as a close partner.

Not enough power?!

Please... with Gray's ability he can simple gave her a few powerful types of Bloodlines of animals in this world, and she will transform from simple snake to moving disaster. And this is what he's really planning to do...

Besides from what he remembers, This Nagini was as deadly as Voldemort in her fights.

Which forced many wizards to dead-end fighting against her.

With her strong snake body and human wisdom, Nagini is really a good partner. Which also might be the reason why Voldemort was so attracted to her.

(Author: Knowing J. K. Rowling, Nagini's story with Voldemort won't be this simple .-. But yup... Let's go with this)

"Is it done?" Perona looked at Gray and the ugly snake acting so close and asked with dead fish eyes. She still doesn't understand what is so special about this snake that Gray will act so friendly to it like this.

"Yes... It's the one I'm looking for, She's Nagini.. our new partner!" Gray smiled and looked at Perona, with a happy smile.

But Perona wasn't smiling...

Gray is weird today... He even gave the snake a name? Really! what is this snake!
