Harry Potter and the Betrayal of a Mentor
Chapter 1 - New home
Harry and Severus touched a bottle, empty butter beer bottle and they were gone, before any of the others could catch up. They both let out breaths they did not know they were holding; they did not want it be to harder than it already was.
Severus looked around he had a peaceful air around him, for the first time in his life he was free. From the spying, bring the greasy Death Eater as well as a bastard. He felt like for the first time in his life he had done something right for a change; apart from clothes and his trunk, Harry did not have much else. They began their journey to their home, which looked more like an inland, to one side there was a beach the ocean waving peacefully along it, then straight ahead there was Quidditch goal posts so it was obviously a Quidditch pitch and at the other side there was just fields and fields of land, of course they had a neighbour which was a good bit away, not for Harry though he has his teleport powers that no one knows about. He of course was going to show Severus them, after all he wanted to show Severus his books, books that had for a millennia been forgotten, forgotten potions and cures.
He of course didn't want to live in a castle, a big house was fine for him, Harry got so warm that he had to take his cloak and trousers off so a t-shirt and his boxers was all he had on, he could walk around naked for all he liked it was not going to end up in the paper, Severus too. They were no longer Death Eater Snape or famous Harry Potter; hand in hand, they walked into their home. That they hoped would be for a long time to come. However, to their surprise it was practically empty Harry nearly jumped with glee saying,
"Yes! Get to design my own house and room!" said Harry clapping his hands in glee; he was now looking forward to it, very much.
Severus smirked at Harry's look, but Severus himself was looking forward to it. He of course had never been able to design anything, he had been told by Dumbledore he was not allowed to change his rooms, that had been his prison for so long, Dumbledore did not mind really, he just liked messing with people. Severus was just a Death Eater and that is what Dumbledore thought. He would have kept Severus Azkaban if the Dark Lord had really gone, but no he had been still alive, Severus should be grateful for that. Now he was really regretting letting him out of the dreaded place, after all he had just taken his favourite pawn after all. He knew Harry Potter was still to come to his majority being in Azkaban did not help him. Therefore, he was obviously going to become more and more powerful.
He had hardly any contacts at the Ministry now, his puppet gone, Fudge was being sacked and Amelia being Minister he had tried to talk to her, but she was tight lipped and had the Ministry on a tight leash, twenty workers had been arrested for associating with Death Eaters they were loyal just didn't have the mark.
Voldemort did not get around to making them. To everyone's surprise, they were mostly Huffelpuff's and Gryffindor's. after that the house rivalry had toned down, most of the Slytherins didn't give a crap what happened, they were neutrals not wanting to bow to a half blood or go any where near Dumbledore knowing how manipulative he was. Most of them just wanted to stay out of the war and that is what they done, and in doing that, they gave the Slytherin house a better name.
"Yes looks like you are going to need to get new things tomorrow, I will just conjure a set of bed sheets for today, tomorrow we will have to go shopping for furniture and that" said Severus,
"And clothes, its boiling here, I've never been on holiday before, I need to buy some t-shirts and shorts, I will be going into Muggle London too, Muggle things are more comfortable to wear, we will never be in our robes with that sun, I cant wait until the house is done, when it is I'm going to sit on the beach, I could not have picked a better house!" said Harry.
"Yes we will need to watch what we are doing , would not want you to drown!" said Severus, who felt like an entire new person, in a way he was, his dark mark was gone all his monies returned, not even Dumbledore could get him locked back up in Azkaban. Madam Bones already having seen his memories he was free for good and not just his monies he had also got lots of money for his spying and also order Merlin 1st class with Neville Longbottom and Harry Potter, it was not until he had gotten the medal did he realise that it was not what they made it out to be, the only reason people wanted it was to saunter about, and for fame and for the first time Severus realised why Harry didn't except his scar or the medals or the awards. He was not an attention seeker and just wanted to be left alone. He felt like jumping up and down like a clown. However, knew not too after all it would not do to give Harry a heart attack.
However, he knew Harry would not; he would just smile at him and let him do as he wished. Because Harry himself knew what it was, like to hide your real self from the world. He had been doing since he was eleven, but now he did not have to, but Severus could not believe that Harry was not forgiving his friends he thought for sure he would forgive them. However, he did not; he did not just ignore them he totally humiliated them in front of everyone, it ended up in the paper. He would be surprised if they had any friends ever again, well apart from the ones who betrayed Harry that was. In a way he was glad Harry had changed or shown his real self, and did not get friends with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger because he could not stand them, not one bit. He hoped one day he would have a family of his own with Harry that is, not aware that Harry didn't know wizarding world traditions, or he would have abandoned everything and gotten pregnant that's how much Harry wanted his own family, and with Severus too.
They did exactly that. They changed the beds into something better, not wanting anything but the best for there new rooms, they were not sharing, they were not even going out properly to start with. Before they knew it each of them were snoring in there separate beds but before dawn, Severus was woken up with screaming coming from the room across, thinking
"Harry!" before he was running to the next room to see Harry thrashing around on the bed, him screaming and whimpering, the sight was pretty pathetic if any one had seen him there and then they would have realised he was just human, not a hero in a story book, Severus didn't think this was anything out of the ordinary just rushed over and started to shake him awake, "Harry c'mon wake up, its just a nightmare wake up!" he said, Harry eventually came round, sweating and shaken.
Severus just pulled Harry to him, he half expected Harry to shift away. To his surprise Harry did not, he snuggled into Sev the man he had fallen in love with, Severus sat for hours running his hand through Harry's hair whispering soothing words into his ear, making Harry shiver Severus thought he was cold, but it was not Severus voice caused it. Snuggling into the warmth, he did not know how long he was awake feeling the heartbeat of the man, or smelling the man too, with a yawn he drifted of a death grip on Severus.
Severus when Harry had quietened down was about to slide out of the bed, only to find Harry had a death grip on him and the bed, would not be going any where soon. With a sigh he got under the covers, Severus thought one thing for sure I'm not sleeping in the cold. Once they were both under, to Severus surprise Harry rolled over and put his head on Severus chest, Severus then pulled him there properly and sighing we thought he would not get back to sleep. However, to his surprise he fell into a dreamless sleep, the best sleep he had ever had in a long time. And Harry the same,
"This has to be the best sleep I have ever hand," said Harry as he got up, yawning taking the covers with him, for the second time in twenty-four hours content.
He quickly got dressed in the warmest clothes he had, also trying to get his hair to lie flat on his head, not that it mattered the scar had long since faded, but if you were close up you would spot it. He faintly heard Severus say, "Yes I've had the best sleep in ages too".
They were both up and dressed and down the stairs, they were surprised to see food littering a table, raising a questioning eye brow and said to Harry "I though there was nothing in the house?" asked Severus curiously,
"There isn't!" said a bemused Harry, before he could answer a pop surrounded the house tattletale of a House elf apparating into the room, dressed in his usually flashy colours,
"Dobby!" shouted Harry he had forgotten about them having not seen them remembering what was on the table he said, "Dobby you would not mind telling me how this food got here becuase we sure as hell didn't buy it!" exclaimed Harry,
"We is sorry sir's, we is taking tis food from Hogwarts sirs, sir's need there nourishment sirs as they sayin goes sirs breakfast is the most important meal of the day sirs" said Dobby, as he disappeared with a 'pop' leaving Harry and Severus to laugh in merriment at the house elf, both glad they had taken them on, well Harry didn't have much doubt but Severus had been weary of there presence Dobby have an reputation of being mad.
None the less sat down and began eating there breakfast, they after all had a busy day ahead of them, there was everything there was at Hogwarts; pancakes, harsh browns fried bread, eggs; scrambled, boiled and fired sausages square and round, toast and fried tomatoes. Eating everything on the table, they both looked at each other guiltily having eaten enough for three people each. Catching each other's eyes, they both laughed.
They both apparated to Hogsmeade and made their way to Gringotts, making their way there was no trouble, but as they walked passed they got wind of what had come out in the paper.
...Harry Potter's left the wizarding world...
...Severus Snape confounded him...
...Snape is a wanted man...being a spy in all...Dumbledore brought it up
..Bones cant do nothing...has to arrest him...well Dumbledore said that.
Severus and Harry stood stunned; Dumbledore was responsible for the claims? Was all they could think, then shaking there heads they could not believe that the man would go that far, they both looked at each other thinking that together. Then Harry spoke up saying "He had me arrested and didn't help me, he knew I could not have done that, lets go! We are going to the ministry get this sorted out once and for all, at least by the looks of things you have some fans and not everyone believes Dumbledore," said Harry spitting the Headmaster's name out like it was a disease.
Nodding, Severus grabbed Harry and they together apparated to the Ministry Of Magic, walking up to the life, getting in they set it for the top floor, coming out of the lift; the place had white walls all over marble stone floors fountain at once side and lots of statues too, and brown doors in huge rows. At the very end of the lines was the minister or magic's office. Quickly striding up to her office, banging his way in, totally ignoring the secretary who was trying to stop him, but he fell to Harry Potter's wand after being stunned with a whispered "Stupefy!"
"What the hell is all this about!" yelled Harry pointing at the paper as if it was the most disgusting thing on earth,
"Mr. Potter, I'm glad I caught you" said Madam Bones she had been waiting for this, she knew Harry would not let Severus get put away, she believed him but she had, had to put the complain forwards as Minister of Magic.
"WELL!" said Harry, his voice booming the entire office,
"I'm sorry but I did what I had to do, it's not just my choice it's the Wizengamot he has the entire community wrapped around his finger they have decided to arrest Severus Snape for being a Death Eater" she said Regret lacing her words.
"Dumbledore has encouraged them not to use Veritaserum your only choice now if you don't want to end up in Azkaban would be run," she said.
Harry blinked stupidly at her, before they could decided a group of Auror's descended up on them, holding Severus at wand point, Harry making a quick decision whispered to madam bones "Make them make the trial today, I have things to do!"
Nodding her head she understood, "There will be a trial held in one hour! Alert the Wizengamot now, take Mr. Snape to a holding cell please!" she said before she could say anything else Harry looked at them saying,
"If any of you so much as lay a hand on him I will know, I will introduce you to my fist as well as some new magic I've learned, I will show you why Lord Voldemort was scared of me, Got it!" he snarled at the lot of them,
The Auror's squeaked and a few of them passed out at that threat, after all it was not every day you get threatened by the most powerful wizard in the world, and Harry does hold that title he had taken it from Dumbledore, and Dumbledore either wanted him killed or at his side.
Cuffing Snape as if he were the queen careful not to hurt him, obviously taking Harry Potter's warning to heart, Severus went "Ouch" purposely making the man who was holding him faint, the Minister bit her lip to stop herself from laughing, Harry on the other hand had no restrain, he laughed and laughed his laughter fading into the distance.
Waking the man up the other Auror took Severus down to the holding Cell, leaving him in there didn't fill Severus with Despair as he thought it once would, knowing Harry would with all his might try and get him freed, the whole time he was in that holding Cell which was the one Harry had been in for weeks before his trial, the hour Severus was in there he cursed Dumbledore in more than one language swearing fluently in French English Latin German Italian and Spanish.
"Move Snape, your trial is on," said An Auror gruffly, opening the cell door, Severus calmly got to his feet, taking him by the arm to the trial room.
It was filled with people, Dumbledore a subdued Lupin angry and smug Sirius as well as the rest of the Weasley's who looked at him like they had looked at Harry nearly a year and a half ago like they wanted him to get the kiss, Granger her head again all high and mighty sitting with Ron Weasley and the Headmaster, as well as all his colleagues Flitwick, McGonagall as well as sprout, Smirking Fudge, Some of Severus' Slytherins, as well as every member of the Wizengamot he was being fully tried, narrowing his eyes at Dumbledore's apologetic look, knowing he was responsible for at that, he just looked at the Headmaster with hatred. His eyes softened when they landed on a nervous Harry; who was biting his nail, something he did when he was scared and nervous something Severus most of the time found endearing.
HAHA - JUST LOVE SNAPE'S SENSE OF HUMOUR I THINK I HAVE THE SAME SENSE OF HUMOR WHICH IS WHY I HAVE SUCH AN EASY TIME WRITING HIM! WHO KNOWS? LOL WELL WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE FIRST CHAPTER?! R&R PLEASE AND LET ME KNOW!! XX
