Harry Potter But AU??? - Chapter 186

NAGINI’S POV

Sometimes being born to a certain family is a curse by itself.

This is a lesson Nagini learned by the time she was three and transformed for the first time.

Well, at the time her name was different, it was Mega

She can still remember her family.

She had a father, a mother, 3 brothers and a sister.

Her father being a strong man, who spent his time between his job, where he farmed rice. Her mother, who was raising them to the best of her ability.

Her biggest brother, Cahaya, who used to go with their father to work.

Her second brother, Ifran, who always seem to make the house shine with laughter and joy.

Her sister Vina, who used to play with her everyday.

And her little brother Ridwan, who she could only remember as a baby.

It was on a sunny day, Vina and her were playing hide and seek near the house when her sister, whose turn was to hide, suddenly screamed.

Running to her she saw a snake, even today she can still remember it’s black and white coloring, and the fear that her big sister seemed to be in.

At that moment, she wished she could have talked with the snake, convince him to leave her sister.

If she had wished for the snake to die, their father to show up, or for them to appear in another location, her life might would have been different.

She might would have never been captured, might have never found out about the curse, but more then all, she would have probably been dead.

But wishing for history to change is pointless, and she still wished to talk to the snake.

With the wish activating her curse, she transformed into a snake and talked with the snake, making it go away.

Wishing to change back into a human was much more exhausting, but she does it, and both Vina and Mega ran home to tell their mother about her change into a snake.

While Mega told her mother excitedly, their mother didn’t return the enthusiasm.

Instead, she started crying.

After calming down her mother sat and explained to Mega about her own family, about Mega’s grandmother and the magical world.

Learning her mother was a regular person born to a magical family was a shock, but not as much as finding out about the blood curse that runs in her family, one that now she carries.

Her mother made her promise that day to never use magic again, to never transform.

Her mother really should have known better then to trust a three years old.

It stopped her for a while, the fear her mother instilled in her, the fear about being stuck in a snake form.

But by a month passed by, she couldn’t help but remember the sense of relief her change caused.

It was like she was stuck in the wrong body for years, and finally found the right one.

She started change in secret.

Sneak whenever she could to the forest and change for a while, only to feel that sense of relief once more.

It was two months into that when they caught her.

It was magical creatures hunters, people who find a magical beast, capture it and sell to the highest bidder.

Catching her was almost certainly by mistake.

She would later find out her transformation is special, the snake she can transform to is a magical snake by the name of Ichchadari who while in legends can change into any shape, actually can only change size.

If it was a different kind of snake, she would have transformed back into her human form, but with her snake species, the cage they put her in was enchanted to prevent changing size and form.

She was with them for six months, as they traveled the forests of Indonesia, collecting many kinds of magical creatures, before taking a ship toward where she would live in the future, Europe.

In that time she listened and learned bits of their language, and by the time they arrived, she knew basic English.

She was then sold to a man called Skender, who, when finding out that he bought a Maledictus instead of a Ichchadhari, was angry for a moment, before changing his attitude and deciding that a Maledictus is much rarer and more interesting.

He gave her a new name, something he said was better suited for her, and after a few years she had to agree.

she wasn’t a cloud (Mega), she was a half snake half person, her name is Nagini

Her next 16 years were spent in a cage, going from city to city all around Europe and America and put on an act.

The only upside is that she found her balance between snake form and human form, one that let her transform back to human without any big problems, one that let her push back the enviable, her full time transformation.

And while she dreamed about the outside world, she no longer had any hope for more then stay human a little bit more.

And then came Credence.

Having a boy around her age, sitting next to her in a cage of his own, still full of life, ready to find his identity and family.

She might have had a small crush on him.

Escaping together, they went around Paris, almost dying for him a few times, but by the end of it, Credence still chose to leave her and join those who tried to kill them, breaking her heart.

It took some convincing on their part as they needed help from her, but in the end she joined Dumbledore’s battle against Grindelward and Credence, but in the end she did, as Dumbledore said he knew how to break the curse and promised he would if they can get help from her.

The final battle was messy.

There were fight everywhere, deaths every other second, and while the main battle was between Grindelward and Dumbledore, with Newt helping Dumbledore to even the scales, her battle was with Credence, and instead of magical battle, it was a battle of words.

It took her a while, but Credence, who was dying because of the Obscurus, decided to do the right thing and stop Grindelward, managing to knock the wand out of his hand.

Dumbledore didn’t let the chance be missed, and killed fired to kill Credence before stunning Grindelward and leaving with him locked.

Of course, the battle wasn’t over with that, no, the rest of them fought for hours, killing and dying, even her, still in grief over her first love, killed over half a dozen Alliance members, but in the end, with less then twenty of them still alive, it was over.

When she came back from the war, a nasty surprise awaited her.

Not only did Dumbledore lie about his ability to cure her, but with all the transformations she did while in battle, instead of the 10 years she had before the permanent transformation, she only had 5.

Leaving in rage, not listening to his or most of her other ‘friends’ explanations about the ‘need of many’, the only one that took her side was Newt, who decided to travel with her around the world, trying to find a cure or just a way to slow the curse down.

In the end they managed to get her 8 years instead of the 5 she were supposed to have, spending that time traveling together made them develop emotions for one another, but with the curse over her head, she didn’t allow herself to completely fall for him, and when he finally left after telling her he loves her and her rejection of him, she decided to stay in the forest, to live where she knows she were loved.

It wasn’t till almost 3 years ago that she found a conversation partner after all those years stuck in a snake form.

It was someone that seemed to have a smoke like form, just like Credence, someone who could talk to snakes and who seem to hate Dumbledore just like her.

And his name was Tom
