The Tear: Year One
A Harry Potter fanfic by Tears of Lightning
Disclaimer: All ownership of story's characters go to J.K. Rowling, the only thing I own is the story plot, if that.
Summary: Harry James Potter was never a normal boy. When Dumbledore tells Harry he is able to go back to the living world Harry has another idea planned.
Authors note: My first story, give me a break. This will be in, mostly, Harry's point of view. This is a Severitis fanfic, be warned. It may sound like another story. If it does this is completely my idea. I did not steal anybody else's idea. Severus may be really OOC. No Slash. Does contain spoilers for, hopefully, all years. Rated T for mild cussing in later chapters. Also contains Good!Voldemort and Manipulative!Dumbledore This will also not follow what happened in some of the years.
Chapter 1: A Chance at the Good Life
When I woke up my head felt fuzzy and at first I did not recognize my surroundings. Then, all at once, the memories of my future, or should I say past, came flooding back. I found myself back in the cupboard under the stairs once again and I remembered that today was the day I got my letter to Hogwarts. The day went the same as usual except that this time I kept my letter from Dudley and Uncle Vernon. I was surprised to find that this time that, although I had turned my letter in, instead of nobody appearing to take me to Diagon Alley I was graced with the presence of a man I long thought dead. One surly git of a potions master, Severus Snape, whom I was under the apprenticeship of him during sixth year when Dumbledore began to doubt my Defense skills.
"May I ask who you are," I said in the most childish tone I could make.
"I am Severus Snape. Head of Slytherin House, youngest potions master, and teacher of potions at Hogwarts."
"Why are you here." I asked with no other choice but to ask stupid questions.
"Well it seems that Headmaster Dumbledore has made me take you to Diagon Alley as your relatives have not agreed to."
"Boy who is that at the door." Vernon spat as he walked toward the door. "You, you're one of them freaks aren't you. You're not welcome in this house. Having to keep it is enough."
"I'm not an it Dursley."
"Ah, getting rebellious are we." Said Vernon, also known to many as the father to the worlds biggest human whale.
"N-No sir I'm sorry sir."
"I know how to remedy that." Said Vernon as he slowly approached me.
"Stop it this instant you whale of a muggle," said Snape, " I'm taking Harry here with me."
"He's not leaving this house. That freak Dumbledore paid us to keep him here and abuse him and I would like to keep receiving money."
"Well I'm here to remove him from your oh so loving care as I see that Harry here is mistreated enough so I will be leaving now, with Harry."
And with that last statement Severus grabbed my arm and apparated with a barely audible *Pop*.
Author's Note: The reason Severus is so willing to take Harry will be explained in the next chapter. Read and Review. Absolutely No Flames. A big thans goes to wooftmnt for my first ever review. Thank you.
