" How could this be? He didn't cast the spell, I should be enslaved by the Dark Lord not Potter" Snape was pacing in the bedroom and Dumbledore was watching him, he was also thinking and getting dizzy by watching his former student.
" I think it has something to do with the vision Harry had" Dumbledore finally said.
" Vision? That Bra..." Snape found out that he cannot call his master names, " Potter had a vision of what happened?"
" That is what he told me" Dumbledore said.
" Great, that is just great, my status just became lower than a bloody house elf and Potter had to see what was happening, I bet he was all smiley about it... Oh good my greasy haired git of a potions master is getting tortured to death" Snape said sarcastically.
" He doesn't wish that for anybody Severus and you know that" Dumbledore said.
Snape finally stopped pacing and sat down in a chair and put his elbows on his knees and put his face into his hands and mumbled, " What am I going to do?"
" Well first of all we need to tell Harry" Dumbledore said.
Snape stood up, " What? No you can't, I... I... I can't handle the humiliation."
" Severus there is no spell that I know of to get rid of the enslavement spell, I'm sorry but Harry must know" Dumbledore said.
" All right, but bring him in here, I don't want to tell him in front of Black... and the rest of the order" Snape said defeated.
" Very well, I will bring him in here" Dumbledore said and left.
Harry was playing fetch with Sirius who was in dog form when Dumbledore entered the living room.
" Harry may I speak to you for a moment?" Dumbledore asked.
Harry looked at the headmaster and then back at Sirius who was trying to get the ball out of Harry's hand, " Fetch Sirius" Harry said and threw the ball and the dog went after it then turned human again.
" I couldn't resist" Sirius said embarrassed when Dumbledore gave him a look.
" Yes well you do have canine instincts in your animagus form" Dumbledore said to Sirius, " Ok Harry if you would follow me."
" Where are you taking him?" Sirius asked following.
" To my room, I need to speak with him in private" Dumbledore said.
" Then have Snape get out of there if it's supposed to be private" Sirius said.
" It concerns him too" Dumbledore said.
" Don't worry Sirius, I'll be back and we can play some more" Harry said with a smile.
" Looking forward to it kiddo" Sirius said.
" Hey Sirius I'll play with ya" Ron said.
Sirius smiled and turned back into his animagus form and gave the ball to Ron who threw it hard and with a happy bark Sirius went after it.
" So what is this about professor?" Harry asked.
" It's about your vision you had last night" Dumbledore said.
" Is Snape all right?" Harry asked a little worried, " Did something go wrong?"
" You could say that, more will be explained inside" Dumbledore said and he opened the door for Harry who stepped inside the room.
Snape automatically stood up, and bowed to Harry who then became shocked that Snape bowed to him.
" Um... you can rise now" Harry said not knowing what to say.
" Thank you master" Snape said not liking what he had to say.
" Master?" Harry said surprised, " What's going on here?"
" Well what you saw in your vision was Voldemort cursing Severus into slavery, the curse has been unknown to people for at least a century and has been banned for longer than a century. You having that vision intercepted the curse from Severus being Voldemort's slave to being your slave" Dumbledore said.
" Huh?" Harry said surprised.
Snape rolled his eyes and said as nasty as he was aloud, " To summarize what he just said, I'm your slave."
" But slaves were banned many years ago, it's illegal to enslave people" Harry said, " Isn't there a reversal spell or something?"
" Believe me Pot... master if there were then you wouldn't know about this and we would have used it already" Snape said.
" Can you please stop calling me master? It sounds weird" Harry said.
" Oh trust me, I don't wish to call you master, but apparently I have no choice in that matter" Snape said.
" Can we look for a counter curse to this? Harry asked Dumbledore.
" We can look for one, but I doubt there is one" Dumbledore said.
" Then how did the slaves back then become free?" Harry asked.
" They didn't, they died as slaves" Dumbledore said sadly.
" So what are we going to do about this?" Harry asked.
" Well, we have to follow the rulebook about owning slaves" Dumbledore said.
" There's a rulebook on it?" Harry was surprised.
" Yes there is a rulebook, we actually have it at the library at school" Dumbledore said, " I'll apparate there tonight and get it for you".
Harry nodded.
" We also have a lot of work to do now that this has happened, some government work and such" Dumbledore said.
" Such as?" Snape asked.
" Such as your property Severus, your property now belongs to Harry" Dumbledore said.
" WHAT!" Snape and Harry yelled at the same time, Snape mad and Harry afraid of his potions professor.
" Slaves cannot own property and since now you're a slave Severus; all your property goes to your master and your master is Harry" Dumbledore said.
There was an uncomfortable pause.
" I think we should talk about this later, when everybody is rested, how about tomorrow?" Dumbledore asked.
Snape nodded.
" I think you should go to bed Professor, you look exhausted" Harry said looking at Snape.
" Yes Master" Snape said not liking the master part but not caring anymore and he left Dumbledore's room and headed to his own room in the palace.
Dumbledore and Harry watched Snape leave the room and then Dumbledore turned to Harry and said, " I suggest you keep this a secret until at least tomorrow".
Harry nodded in agreement.
" Good, well I think I'll get that book then" Dumbledore said and apparated out of the palace leaving Harry in the Headmaster's room to think.
" I am a slave owner, Snape is my slave, oh this is so wrong and I really don't like it" Harry thought and sat down in the chair Snape sat in earlier.
