A/N Don't shoot! Yeah, I know I took a long time to update. I actually meant to update on Saturday, but I had a really busy week, and lot's of Homework. I hope this makes up for it... Make sure to read the A/N at the end, it's really important! And, as always, Review!

At first, Harry couldn't see anything. His worst fear was…. Nothing? That didn't make sense. He looked behind him, wondering if whatever he was supposed to be facing was there. He didn't notice the sharp intake of breath from Snape, or the low, growling voice.

He turned back around, and almost screamed.

It wasn't so much that the form the boggart had taken that made him feel like screaming- it was the surprise. He had faced this fear constantly, after all. He just hadn't expected to face it here.

Then, his Uncle began to speak. And his real fears came into the light.

"So, Freak. They actually let you in to this school. They obviously don't know how worthless you are."
He glanced at Snape, before sneering- in a way that eerily resembled that of the Potions Master.

" Well, most of them don't. I see this professor understood you immediately. He doesn't treat all the students the way he treats you, does he? You were interested in Potions, weren't you? So why would he act so malicious to someone who wanted to learn? Why?"

"You're a trouble-maker, you're Worthless, A freak. That's why"

Harry began to whimper- it was slight, barely noticeable, but it was there. All his doubts, all his fears… they were finally being said out loud.

"I'm…I'm not a freak. I'm a wizard." Harry's voice trembled, and he hated himself for it.

"Oh, but you're a freakish wizard, aren't you? The whole wizarding world knows you're a freak. How else would the curse rebound? You're famous, because you're a freak."

" In fact, that's probably why they even let you stay here. They only care about your fame, you know. Harry is a pathetic boy. It's Potter they care about."

" But you'll only disappoint them. You're no savior- you couldn't even protest when I punched you, you didn't respond to Petunia's Insults! Perhaps, you knew you deserved it- a brat like you, deserves every thing you got, and more."

Somewhere along the way, Harry had started to tremble. He felt sick- it was true, of course it was true, it made sense….

The boggart continued, in it's cold, cruel tone.

" Even you're parents deserted you. They were skilled, I've heard. But they died rather quickly. Perhaps they wanted death? Perhaps they were itching to desert you."

"Stop," Harry croaked. He couldn't stand it. Tears were swimming in his eyes, but he didn't care. The boggart was right, no one cared about him, he wasn't valued, wasn't loved…

" You know it's true. You know it, Boy. Don't pretend- admit it. Say it, right now. You don't matter. No one really care about you. Say it- Say you're worthless"

Harry mouthed the words, obeying. He started to whisper.

"I'm wor –"

And suddenly, he couldn't speak.

He could open and close his mouth, he could form the words, but no sound came out. He tried to scream-it didn't work. He tried to yell- that didn't work either. He started to swear- the sound refused to come.

He was so caught up in his efforts; he didn't notice the boggart had disappeared.

His ability to speak suddenly came back full force.

"What the bloody-"

He stopped short when he realized what he had been about to say.

" Five points from Gryffindor, Mr. Potter."
Harry nodded his head slowly.

"And a detention. Tonight, my office, at 8."

"But-!"

"Mr. Potter, you will come, or I will inform the headmaster. Is that understood?"

"Yes, Professor." There was no use arguing.

"You are dismissed. The rest of you, quills out. Now, I am going to demonstrate how to get rid of a Boggart…"

Harry left the class, and headed for the bathroom. He still felt sick. He locked himself into a stall, and tried to calm himself down.

Instead, He ended up breaking into sobs.

A/N OK, you now have 4 options. I'm going to write a chapter detailing Harry's Detention.

After that, should I...

a) Write the story, this time in Snape's POV

b) Write the story in A classmate's POV (eg Ron, Hermione, Neville, Draco, etc)

c) Continue the story, and turn it into a Harry/Snape bonding and likely eventual adoption fic

d) leave the story the way it is

Also, Thx to all my reviewers! You guys are great!
