Harry rubbed his eyes and blinked he'd now been awake since he'd gotten to Hogwarts five weeks ago. He stopped at the poster leading to Severus' quarters. He looked at the man and began hissing. Though he didn't know he was doing it.

"Excuse me, sir." Harry hissed, "Will you tell Prof. Snape that I need to ask him for a potion?"

"Of course young, Snake. " The man laughed.

"Severus , " Salazar Slytherin called, " A small snake who can speak Parseltounge is here to ask you for a potion."

Severus opened the door. Harry Potter was the last child he expected to see. He brought the boy into his room.

"Thank you, Salazar." he said to the painting. "How may I help you, child?"

"I haven't slept in five weeks. That's not strange but it's starting to get to me and I can't really think and I was wondering if you would have a Potion that would help me sleep?"

"You don't sleep that much?"

"No, sir." Harry was sitting on the couch. " I've gone more than two months without sleeping. When I was younger I would sleep normally. But as I got older I began not sleeping as much. I used to stay awake in my cupboard for hours..."

"Cupboard?!" Severus asked, " Is that where those damn Muggles had you sleep?"

"Yes, sir." Harry rubbed his eyes. "May I call you dad?"

"Of course you can. " He lead Harry in to his room and tucked Harry in. "Drink this, son."

"I like that." Harry smiled at him. It was just an up lifting of the left side of his lips. " You calling me son."

He drank the potion and passed out. SEverus tucked him in and kissed Harry's forehead. Severus then went an informed the other Teachers that Harry would not be in class and told them why.

Harry woke with a moan wondering where he was. An alarm was going off.

"Go back to sleep." Severus whispered to the boy and got out of bed. " You need to sleep I've already told your teachers you aren't going to class."

Harry let sleep take him again.

When Harry woke fully he looked around the room he was in. He saw a letter telling him to take a shower. So he went into the attached bathroom and showered using hot water. When he got out a dried off. Clothes were waiting for him when he got out. It was October now so it was cold. He put the Muggle jeans on then the shirt and the hoodie. Lastly he put on socks and shoes. Everything looked brand new and fit him perfectly. He left the room to look around. He saw another note on the dining room table that told him to call a house elf called Alwin and order whatever he wanted to eat as long as it was healthy.

After eating and bombarding Alwin with questions the elf had forcibly dragged him to Severus' personal library and set him loose. Alwin had quickly vanished. Harry stared in wonder. He then attacked the shelves trying to find any book to read. He found an over stuffed chair and was soon reading the books. He was lost in the wondrous books. He'd never heard of any of this before and he'd known about magic since he was 5. Petunia had nurtured him at magic and it wasn't why his family had hated him. his uncle had wanted him for sex so he let Harry do whatever he wanted. His cousin thought it was cool and Petunia took him to every magical place she could find. His trunk had a built in library and all his books were in there. His aunt had loved him even though she hadn't showed it when she'd signed him over. They had abused him because Dumbledore had threatened to kill them if they didn't.

"Harry?" Severus sighed and smiled as he found Harry sitting in an over stuffed chair by the window fast asleep a book in his lap. Behind him Minerva was chuckling and Leland was clucking his tongue and shaking his head. He walked over and shook Harry awake "What are you doing up here?"

"I annoyed Alwin with my questions so she brought me up here. " Harry yawned. " I found these Law Books and wanted to tell you my Muggles never hated me. Aunty and Dudley love me. Uncle just wanted to have sex with me. But they only hurt me because Headmaster threatened them. I was there when he did it. Aunty used to take me and Dudley to all sorts of Wizarding places when I was growing up and they used the money Dumbledore gave them for raising me on books. They wanted to buy me clothes but they knew Dumbledore would think they were being nice to me. I got to play with Dudley's toys all I wanted. They were really nice to me. Aunty signed me over like that because she thought you could protect me. I read in one of the books that I can give my memories to the Head of the DMLE and they can set charges. "

"That's right." Severus picked his son up and hugged him close. Even if he had grown two feet he was no where near the same height as the first years. "If you want to do that we will. Now I told you to rest today."

"I did." Harry protested as he was carried down the long staircase back into the dungeons. They came out from behind a stone wall in the sitting room. "I've slept on and off all day. It took me an three hours to finish the book that said that because I kept falling asleep. What did you give me?"

" A Dreamless Sleep and it wouldn't have kept you falling asleep all day. Your body is exhausted. "

Severus called his friend Amelia Bones and had Harry explain everything to her and give her his memories.
