The Pre-Hogwarts Years
Summary
When Peter Pettigrew told Voldemort the location of the Potters, the Fidelius Charm was not destroyed. Sirius was so consumed by thoughts of revenge against Wormtail that when he saw the destruction of the Potter family's cottage, he went after him immediately. As a result, Sirius wasn't there to give Harry to Hagrid and as Hagrid wasn't let in on the secret, he couldn't see the cottage and couldn't get Harry out. Harry was raised by Lily's cat and by a snake called Sansa. When he met wizarding society again, he could speak Parseltongue and Felinetongue very well.

The Hunt

Harry crept towards the scent of rats silently and invisibly. When he was no more than a metre away from them, he envisioned them encased in bubbles, concentrating on the image so hard that it happened. Then, he reached out for the life forces of the rats and pulled until they eventually snapped.

Harry went back inside the house, the bubbles floating in front of him. When he reached Sel and Sansa, Harry sat down, the bubbles descending with him. They all grabbed a bubble and opened it before starting to devour their meal.

"Well done, Harry," Sel praised. "You did well. And on your first hunt too!"

He shrugged slightly. "It wasn't hard. I just had to be certain in my intent and I have to be able to provide for myself when you're gone."

"Well, thank you," Sansa said. "It was a good meal. Now, it's time for my type of spell-making."

They both groaned as Sansa laughed. Spell-making was hard but it was even harder in Parseltongue.
