¢нαρтєя 2:
Harry awoke some time later. He awoke but found difficulty in opening his eyes properly. After a short period of profuse blinking he found himself starting to the ceiling above his thumping head. "
ouch, that smarts"
Then
he realised and after looking around the room continuously he
realised that he actually had no idea where he was, shock dawned on
him as well as immense guilt upon recounting the events from
beforehand, in the maze. These were the events that he would rather
have not remembered.
Where was Snape, what was he doing, before
he had passed out on the sofa, or whatever had happened, he was sure
that he was in Snape's quarters at Hogwars –
"wait,
it was two or three days before the holidays back then, perhaps I'd
been put under sedation or something, to keep me calm, I was pretty
het up back then – I guess that's the answer."
After a bit
of shuffling around and kicking off the covers he found that he was
still dressed in the red and black top and black pants from the other
day.
"that is gross, I really need a shower."
He tossed the covers back onto the bed and rearranged them, sort of and proceeded to the bathroom. The water was so warm, welcoming and relieving; not to mention it felt so good to wash away all that dirt, and watch the pain and darkness flow away with it.
"Potter,
are you in there?" a sudden voice outside the bathroom door
interrupted his thoughts. Even though Snape was harry's father he
still liked to refer to him as "potter" he believed it to
"accurately portray his authoritative nature."
"yeah,
in here, having a shower, be out soon!" He said hopefully, there
were no rules in place that he was aware of that rendered him
forbidden from showering surely?
"all right, don't take
forever about it though"
Harry felt a wave of relief wash over
him, like the water was, graceful and relaxing. For one short moment
he thought he was about to be belittled from using a somewhat
essential facility.
Harry turned off the water, stepped out, dried
and dressed himself in a pair of blue jeans and a black t-shirt. It
was summer after all…
"That'll
do" he thought before he turned and just as he was about to head
downstairs, he caught a glimpse of something underneath the bed.
Something brown, and sincere looking, so he headed over to it and
bent down to get a closer look.
"My trunk" he said to nobody
in particular. "I was beginning to wonder where all my stuff was,
it hasn't been unpacked, this is something that I could entertain
myself with now before having to face Snape again after the other
night" he thought.
Harry clicked open the trunk in a flash, and
peeked inside.
He
pulled out the various items that were stored inside and tossed them
aside onto the warm carpet that he only just realised was there.
–Invisibility cloak, school books, texts, quills, ink, parchment,
owl treats, clothes, another separate bag of clothes lay beside the
trunk also; pictures, the photo album from Hagrid, the chess board
and pieces from Ron, the book from Hermione, some random gifts that
he had got from Sirius and Remus in third year and some other junk
like packaged sweets. He was almost at the bottom of the trunk when
he came across something that lay next to his wand. "A book?"
Then he realised… "That book, that Fred and George got me for
Christmas, I've never had the time to read it before now… I
really should"; then he recalled what Ron had told him.
"That'll come in handy Harry, all of us can have a great deal of fun, it means you have an excuse for just about anything, trouble and all. You can do what the hell you like and it'll be fantastic for using to get out of trouble with Snape. And what's more, the people who know about the book can see it, what I mean is… I know about it because Fred and George bought it when I was with them, they know about it because they bought it and you do because we got it for you, but nobody and I mean nobody else at all, knows about it, or can see it!"
Then
Harry was distracted from his thoughts once again by his father
entering the room.
"Good morning Potter"
"Do you HAVE to
call me Potter? I mean I am your son and all…."
"Mr Potter,
is that the way you should greet your father then, watch your mouth,
and your attitude."
"Sorry,
good morning."
"Right, anyway, how are you feeling, you were
kept under sedation for the last two days because things the other
night got rather… out of hand"
Then Harry realised, and
instead of becoming saddened by the past events, he seemed more angry
than anything. Anger that he believed to be radiating from himself.
"It's
my fault" he thought angrily, with such an intense emotion that he
almost snapped out his answer.
"I'm fine thanks, I don't
really remember it much anyway."
"That's fine but you need
to watch your attitude, otherwise there'll be consequences to
face."
"Yeah,
sorry" he mumbled almost inaudibly
"well,
it's the first day of the holidays and I believe that something to
eat is in order, scene as you haven't eaten properly in two days, I
believe you could do with an early lunch"
"I'm not hungry
thanks."
"you need to eat you know, come.."
Harry
put the remaining items from his trunk into the draw, being careful
to place the book under some clothes, after all he would look a
little foolish putting an invisible book into the draw, and
furthermore it would arise attention; Snape's attention and
suspicions are something Harry decided he would rather not deal with
yet.
"I said I'm fine, I don't want anything, I'm really
not hungry – at all."
"Potter, I gave you an order to follow
and I mean it"
Harry reluctantly closed the draw with a dramatic
thud and followed Snape down the stairs and through the corridors of
Snape mannor to the kitchen."
A/N:
Harry is getting more dramatic right?
Any comments are welcome and
ideas for anything
Sorry it took me so long to update, I had my finals for the year and now there is a lot more time. I can update more often, a lot more often I promise. Thanks for the support for the story so far, this is the first one that I had actually considered continuing, all the others were discontinued because I ran short on ideas and had no support so thanks guys.
In the next chapter, Harry reads the book and begins to get some ideas. The trouble starts, and the book gives him some fine ideas and ways to get away from the house and into the parties (or wherever he goes - *tries not to give too much away.*
The other characters such as Ron come in.
Harry gets more temperamental around Snape (not his friends so much) and begins to turn bad.
