Severus Snape looked at the little boy stood in front of him. He was 11 years old, around 4"6', had messy black hair gelled into spikes and had large emerald green eyes that stared at him curiously. This boy was Harry Potter and Severus Snape was there to take the child to Hogwarts. At the age of 15 months, Harry had been sent to live with his aunt and uncle after the murder of his parents.
Three days after he was placed with his relatives it was discovered that he wasmissing. They had searched all over the world for the child and finally, on the boy's 11th birthday, they had found him in a small french muggle orphanage. Severus cleared his throut and began to explain to Harry Potter about the wizarding world and Hogwarts. He even dared to tell the boy a small bit of infomation on his parents. All of a sudden he heard the boy speak.
"Je suis désolé, mais je ne vous comprends pas. Je ne parle pas anglais."
Well damn the boy to hell! He had spent half an hour talking to the boy and he only just decided to inform Severus that he did not understand a single word of english!
A/N: The french translates to 'I am sorry, but I don't understand. I do not speak English. I originally translated this wrong but it has been fixed thanks to Sirius Regulus Black. I also fixed a few other spelling mistakes I obviously missed when I posted this two years ago.
