Chapter 1: "An Unexpected Visitor"
__________ Ch. 1 __________
Harry awoke with such pain in his scar as he had never felt before. The last time his scar had burned was only two days ago. He supposed that Dumbledore was correct, Lord Voldemort must be attacking someone, ruining a bunch of lives, ending some as well. Harry cought sight of something from the corner of his eye, and rushed to his window. In swooped Hedwig, followed by Pigwidgen, both bearing envelopes. Harry opened them, and read each letter.
Harry,
I am in Romania, visiting Charlie! I have been waiting for a very long time for Pig to come back after the last Owl I sent you. Quite a lot has been happening. It will soon be egg laying season for the dragons, so we are building HUGE nests all over the place for the Dragons to lay. Hope you are having a good time at the Dursley's!
Ciao,
Ron.
WELL, that was news to Harry. Ron had not written to him all summer, and Harry wondered where Ron's Owl got to.
"Oh well" Harry muttered, and continued with the second letter.
Harry,
The DEATH EATERS are going to Privet drive tomorrow. I fear the Dark Mark will hover over the street. You must get out of the road, and even the area. I am coming, as you read, to collect you and to take you to Hogwarts. I should arrive by the time you have packed your belongings. We will talk later. Dumbledore will wish to speak to you also.
Harry stopped here. He had imagined all along that Dumbledore sent the bad news. Harry glanced down at the sender. His heart skipped a beat.
S. S.
The door of the Dursley's house burst open, and the sound of someone rushing up the stairs filled his ears. In his doorway stood SEVERUS SNAPE. Harry grabbed his trunk, and Hedwig's cage, but Snape took them off him.
"It's alright son, I'll carry them." Severus said, and marched out of the house.
Severus Snape, Potions Master, world's WORST bully, bane of Harry's life, had just called him son. Snape would sooner be put on a desert island with Sirius Black then make any paternal link between himself and Harry.
