Chapter 187: Chapter 187-Nagini’s life story (part 2)
NAGINI'S POV
In her years of travel with Newt, they have come to find that her life span became like that of the Ichchadhiri Naagins, which meant she will live for a two hundred years without growing old.
While most people would have considered it a blessing, she had to deal with the fact that she would live those years as a snake, alone and bored, she was about to consider attacking strong animals with intention of them killing her when she met Tom.
The smoke like body, the snake like face and the pained look on his face when she saw him made the man look like a child of Credence and her, that, and the fact that he was capable to understand her, made her agree to help him survive before even knowing the man's name.
She hunted small animals for him, always keeping them alive for him to either kill or possess, it took a year before he managed to have a conversation with her not about hunger.
That's when he told her his name- Lord Voldemort.
She had the first laugh she had in years, before asking him what was his real name.
When he insisted that this was his real name she threatened to leave, and he was forced to tell her his original name, Tom.
He explained why he hated this name and his chose to get another, and she agreed to call him Voldemort, even if in her head she called him Tom.
Another year passed with her feeding both him and her, each of them pass the time by telling each other stories about their life, and they found out they both have a deep hatred for Dumbledore, who used the years to change how people remember the battle to make it seem it was only a duel between Grindelward and him, making all their contributions, all of their sacrifice, be forgotten.
He even made Credence's Phoenix appear to be his, and with her knowledge of magical creatures that grew by her traveling with Newt, she knew Phoenixes were bound to the family of the person they bonded with.
With them bonding over the hate for Dumbledore, they became more then just people who keep each other alive and sane, they became friends.
She were fine with living the rest of her life like that.
And then came Wormtail.
If there was one kind of people she was jealous about was animagi, their ability to transform at will was everything she ever dreamed about, and they just showed it off as if they deserved in more then her!
Maybe she was a little bit unreasonable, but she was so jealous!
When she saw a man turned into a rat in the forest, she let her emotions get the best of her, and grabbed his rat form with her mouth, bringing it to Tom to drain or possess, yet when the man turned himself to a human and prostate himself to Tom it was found out he is one of Tom's followers.
That started the last year.
With the help of Wormtail, Tom managed to get himself a body of a baby to possess, which, while the action disgust her, made Tom grew stronger.
With her venom's help, Tom had Wormtail make a potion that will strengthen him in preparation for a ritual she found while searching for a way to help her keep her human form, one that couldn't help her as when she looked for her family to take the bone of her father she found the village was burned to the ground years ago by bandits, and her family dead.
With the help of both her and Wormtail, Tom grew stronger by the day, and she hoped he could regain his human form and kill Dumbledore as revenge for not only lying to her, but also making Credence be forgotten.
Yet, once more, her hopes were shuttered, as two weeks before the time planed for Tom to regain his body two man appeared in the house they lived in and captured Tom and her.
She was once more in a cage, just like all those years ago, but this time she wasn't afraid, she was furious!
He those man took her hope for revenge, her hope for justice, and she was ready to go all out when she has a chance and kill both of them.
The next time he brought her out of his bag inside her cage, even though she knew he couldn't understand her she cursed at him, yet surprisingly, he talked back, which, after a moment of shock only made her even more furious!
It is one thing to put a mindless beast in a cage, it is a different story to put an intelligent one.
So she started, every time he took her out and try to talk to her, to scream and curse him, being as colorful with her curses as possible.
Yet each day, he continued to take her out of his bag and try to talk to her, and when that didn't work, let her spit her anger on him.
It took three and a half months, but finally she was tired from it.
$What do you want from me? Why don't you just kill me? Why do you keep me prisoner$ She asked one day.
$Oh, finally decided to calm down and talk?$ He asked smirking.
$Just answer the damn question!$ She said.
$I never wanted to kill you, I only want to cure you.$
If she were that naive girl she was before the war she might have believed him, but she grew, she experienced betrayal and she knew from her life that no one gives free things.
$Oh really? And what would you like in return?$
$Oh, I get the return by succeeding$ He told her. $I was hired by a family of a girl with the same condition as you to cure it.$
Now she understood, he wanted to experiment on her.
'But why didn't he just do so?' She thought and with her knowledge of rituals she immediately reached the answer. 'It's a ritual in which he needs my willing participation for it to work.'
Knowing she had to be willing, she agreed to hear him out, have him explain the ritual, and if it sound feasible to undergo it.
$I researched the blood curse and managed to find its name is wrong, it isn't a blood curse, but inherent disease.$ he started, explaining to her how her body was in fact always a snake, and she kept using her magic to transform into human, but each time she transform to either form, her body gains resistance to belief and will based transfiguration, making her use more and more magic for the transformation, and by the end it can't be transformed by will alone, making her stuck in her real body, which is her animal form.
He explained how he modified the animagus ritual so it will let the person that undergoes it choose his animal form with the help of an outsider, who will connect to her spiritual realm to guide her.
He showed her the ritual, and from her experience she knew it can work, but she also knew that in order to become an animagus, you need great knowledge of the animal you transform to, and she didn't have said knowledge.
$How would you expect me to transform into human after the animagus ritual? Would you spend years teaching me about human anatomy?$
$No$ He said. $I will put the knowledge into your mind before the ritual takes place.$
$And how will you do that?$ She asked.
$I compressed my memories about the study of the human body to 3 months worth of study, you will choose a time in your life that is meaningless and I will replace the memory of that time with those memories.$
She was shocked, he told her he wants to delete a part of her memory! A part of who she is! She was about to refuse when she really thought about it, she spent years in the forest, surviving yet not living, does she really care about those memories? Is three months from the middle, when she either caught pray or slept really were more important then regaining her human body?
$fine, take three months from 7 years ago.$
He looked surprised when she agreed so readily.
$Great, I just need for you to think about the months you want to get deleted very hard, and I will obliviate you by shooting the spell toward your eyes, as other parts of your body are resistant to magic.$
She thought of those days of sleeping underneath a rock, the nights of catching rodents, bugs, and sometimes other snakes.
$I'm ready$ she said
"Obliviate."
And it was all gone.
