Wow, I did not expect all the reviews I got so far! So glad you all like this. As for Harry using a bit of magic to power his blows, not fully, most of that was anger, again so many reviews, I like it!

The Talk Upon the Tower:

Harry was actually rather pleased at who he was staying with. Severus had been good to him, very good, he had cleared up his second bedroom in his quarters and let Harry set them up as he wished. Harry was still working on that but he loved Severus's quarters, they were very manly with large comfortable sofas in navy blue, dark book shelves, and navy curtains at the window in the main space. Unlike his aunt's house this felt like home, and it was all opened up to the lovely kitchen fully stocked with a heavy dark oak kitchen table and chairs. The floors were dark oak and the walls were plastered and painted a light cream. His room was nice, he had a large four poster bed, a sturdy wardrobe desk and a window that looked over the lake twenty feet below him. Severus had the large master bedroom next to him and a large bathroom was across from them, a large storage room rounded out the cozy quarters Severus called home.

Harry was clad in new clothes as well, he had tried to protest, to flat out refuse nearly throwing a temper tantrum but Severus was not moving on that. He stated if he was going to mentor one messy haired brat that brat was not going to wear cast-offs. Harry had muttered something about Severus's greasy Harry that unfortunately Severus heard, he had retorted that brats who put their fingers in light sockets had no right to complain about other's hair. Harry was drug firmly but not harshly through the floo and taken shopping. It was not that bad really, though he was not allowed to pay. He found to his shock that he had lots in common with Severus, mainly they liked quality but liked to stretch a penny as they say and had the same taste in music too! Harry loved the Beatles, Neal Diamond, and many other bands and so did Severus. In fact he had a wall of vinyl in his quarters of everything from classical to some of the latest hits.

At the end of the shopping day (more like two hours tops) Harry got two four packs of new underpants (black, green, red and blue boxers) and white tee shirts, two pairs of new jeans, a pair of black dress pants, a pack of black dress socks and a pack of white, some colorful tees, a dress shirt in green and a black vest, and new trainers. He would wait until closer to school to get new dress shoes as he had not quite outgrown these. Everything was bigger than what Harry would wear but Severus showed him a spell to make them fit, this meant that he could keep his clothes far longer as a growing teen. Once the muggle shopping was done Severus took him to get dress robes to go over his nice muggle attire, he got them in green and then while those were getting fitted he took Harry to get him magical contacts, which made the teen look far more like his mother and gave him perfect vision. He was now clad in his new clothing, the nice muggle clothing with his new dress robes looking at himself before a mirror.

"Yes, much better, your mother would have had a fit if she saw you hiding your eyes behind those glasses." Severus said from the door, "you look more like her now too."

"I do sir?" Harry asked turning to face him.

"Oh yes, all but that rats nest you call hair." Severus said, "but that is a Potter trait that is."

"We are going to see the headmaster then sir?" Harry said "he is going to be mad at me for what I did."

"He has no right, tell him what you feel and I think he will see things you way, or I will kill him myself."

"Oh please don't do that sir, I don't want you going to Azkaban." Harry said.

"Fine, just annoy him to death."

"Sir!"

"Come brat, let's go."

Harry did not mind being called brat by Severus, in the two weeks he had lived with the man he had been very good to him. He had not yelled or hurt him and only threatened to chop him into potions ingredients once a day. He fed him well, made sure he got plenty of sunshine and exercise and had him finish his homework as well. He had made him drop divinization and tested him to see if he could do Ancient Runes or Arithmancy. It turned out Harry was rather good at both and so he found himself studying that and signing up for both for next year. He had been tested in spell-work and potions and though he could brew he was not really one to become a potions master. He thrived at defense and Severus was pressing him hard in learning Occulumency as a result.

They walked all the way up to the headmaster's office and took the moving staircase up to the office. The headmaster bid them enter and Harry found himself in the headmasters office for the third time. He looked up at the elderly wizard there with his long silver hair and beard clad in navy robes, plain navy robes. On seeing Harry he broke down and cried getting Harry to stare at him stunned. Why would he cry? He had put him with his aunt and uncle and had not thought to look on him ever. Did he feel badly for it? Finally the elderly wizard managed to calm down and Harry could not stay angry with him, not fully, alright he was still angry but he was not going to shout, yet.

"I never thought they would be so cruel to you, I knew you would have a hard time, being a magical human in the muggle world. But I thought your aunt would help you through that, to love you."

"She didn't, she hated me and I hate her." Harry snapped back.

"I was am such a fool in how I treated you, I hurt you badly and I am so sorry." Dumbledore said meaning each and every word he said, "my poor boy, I am so very, very sorry, I am sure you can never forgive me."

"You really did not know what they did?" Harry asked.

"No! I thought they loved you." Dumbledore said, "it took two dear friends of mine to help me see the errors of my ways and see how I hurt you. I promise to do right by you from now on."

"Thank you sir, what about the Dursleys, what will be done about that?" Harry asked.

"They are being charged in the muggle courts and Dudley will go to reform school, is there anything you need, Severus treating you well?"

"Yes sir, very, he got me new clothes too sir." Harry replied. "Oh and he has helped me start a vinyl collection, he is far nicer than I thought, I owe him an apology to how I treated him early."

"No you do not brat, it is I who owe you."

"No sir, you don't, not really."

"Very good, Severus if you need anything let me know." Dumbledore said, amused at the way these two were getting along "I mean what I said, anything you need Harry just ask, I must make up to you for what I put you through."

"I am fine sir." Harry replied, "Severus told me the prophecy, and I find him brave in what he did, I doubt I would be as brave sir."

"I was not brave, I was wicked and evil in what I did."

"No sir, not at all, you did not believe in that did not see the danger, once you did you did your best to fix it." Harry replied. "Thank you for being honest with me too."

This was true, Severus had to be honest with the brat, er boy. He owed it to Lily after all and the boy could not be taught Occulumency if he did not know his role in the war and what dangers awaited him. Harry had not been angry at all that he had heard a prophecy and not even believing it took it to Voldemort as a joke. He thought Voldemort would be amused as surely he would not believe such a thing. Imagine his horror when not only did Voldemort believe but chose the Potters as the ones to go after. Severus still blamed himself for the death of his best friend even though Harry said it was not his fault at all. The brat had to be that forgiving just like his mother didn't he?

"I am training too, working hard, Voldemort will come back and I will be ready." Harry said, "oh and we are going to have a curse breaker take a look at my scar."

"Why you think there is something wrong with it?" Dumbledore asked.

"No not at all." Severus said softly, "it only makes the mark burn when I touch it. Hurts Harry when he is around bits of the dark lord, so no, there is nothing wrong with it at all."

"Oh dear, well I know that William Weasley is a curse breaker and is staying with his family this summer as he takes some sort of exams at Gringotts. He could take a look at it."

"Could I see the Weasleys?" Harry said looking very happy, "please sir?"

"Yes, of course, but I will be there, I wish to speak to Arthur and Molly." Severus said, "and see how two of my favorite twins are doing."

Harry was sure that Fred and George were not two of his favorite twins and he did look forward to seeing what happened when he walked into the burrow with Snape. It would be an epic prank on everyone that was for certain. Of course Severus did have to ruin that by going to speak to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley first and ruin his fun that way. Though he was going to let him see his friends so that was nice of him. He thought back to the headmaster and how he was so sad at how he had been treated. He wondered if he should take Dumbledore up on his offer, but then again he probably would get the dragon he asked for and his organs in potions ingredients as well when Severus found out. He just grinned, flopped on a couch with The Hobbit and settled in for a nice quiet read.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

So there is that, Harry was going to blast Dumbledore but could not. Dumbledore never thought Harry would be unloved, yes he did think he would have a hard time of it in the muggle world but I honestly think he thought Harry would at least be loved by his aunt at least. I really can't print what Minerva and Poppy said to him, it's rather unpleasant to say the least. But you can bet that Dumbledore is going to do anything for Harry here. He knows he messed up badly and will do what he needs to do to make it right.

Yes Severus did tell Harry about his role in the war, and Harry did not get angry but thanked him for trying to save his family. Severus does care about him, but he is not going to go all mushy or adopt him. No he is going to be the mentor/uncle the boy needs and yea still be Severus. Hey he only threatens to chop him up into potions ingredients once a day, I find that rather nice. He really would not you know, and Harry knows that. Oh and if he had to take care of Harry you can bet he would get him contacts so he could not hide his eyes, his mother's eyes.

Anyway do review please!
