A/N: This is my 1st story. this is a one shot. R&R! :)

Potions with Snape

Harry had a bad day. He started the day by waking up late. And the first period just had to be Potions. Ron Weasley had failed to wake Harry up. Lookin at his watch, he let ou ta colorful string of profanities. He took a shower took his bag and ran down the stairs. He pushed pass everyone and poor Ernie was unfortunately pushed. Books tumbled down from his hands. Ernie let out a cry of despair! Harry shouted his apologies. He sprinted down the corridor in to the Potions classroom. Severus Snape saw him...

"Ah, Yes," he said softly, "Harry Potter. Our celebrity has finally showed up...10 points from Gryffindor for being late. Now as I was saying before Mr Potter interrupted us, today we will be making the Draught of Living Death. Turn to page..."

Harry took his ingredients and started working on it. The result of his potion was almost there. It was only a few shades away. He had Lily's gift after all. Professor Snape decided that his result wasn't good enough and vanished it with one wave of his wand. It was unfair see that Crabbe's potion had green fumes coming out of it. It was toxic.

But since when has Snape been fair to Harry? Snape always favors the Slytherins. Bitterly, Harry cleaned up and sat at a corner. Sometime life wasn't fair. Tired of this nonsense, he decided to talk to Severus. Harry knew that Severus love his bell rang and Harry stayed back. He gave Severus a lecture and told him to look at harry's huge emerald eyes. That he was not his father. He was Harry. Not James. He requested Snape to treat everyone fairly. Unknown to Harry, his lecture had an impact on Severus.

He changed for the better. Potions classes became more interesting and the tense atmosphere reduced. Though Severus was still the greasy git to Fred and George Weasley. Severus became a father figure to Harry. Life was clearer. Their futures were more clearer. He changed when realization dawned on him after hearing Harry utter 5 words. "I am Harry. Not James." Severus had finally let go of his childhood grudge.

Up there, Lily and James were watching. They relaxed. But Lily was the happiest. Her best friend had changed. They knew they could Severus.
