Chapter 4
"Detention Potter, Weasley" snapped Severus, a week later, both Harry and Ron were sharing a Cauldron. They had purposely made a mess of the place, black smoke billowing everywhere.
"But Q…" protested Ron, like he usually would.
"Don't make me take points too Weasley, fact go right ahead I would love to take them off you" said Severus looking angry, his eyes were alight with anger. If Ron and Harry had not known that was fake they would have been shitting themselves. One thing for sure Severus Snape was good at his acting, sighing softly they pretended to be miserable for the rest of the two periods.
Today had been a shit day for them; they had had Herbology, History of Magic two double periods back to back. So four periods of History of Magic and Herbology.
It was their least favourite subjects, one good thing came out of it, Hermione was not in any of their classes.
"Just go Hermione," said Harry looking sadly as though he didn't want her to go.
"It's ok I will wait for you" said Hermione smiling pitifully at them.
"You will not Granger, if I find you there I will give you detention for a month and deduct 100 points from Gryffindor" snarled Severus coming back in, from where he had been putting things away. Class had ended and everyone was out apart from the so called golden trio.
"Yes Professor" said Hermione lowering her head she walked out.
She put her head against the door, but she could not hear anything, a silencing ward had been put up. Sighing she decided to go and see Dumbledore while she had the chance. She didn't have much for him but she still went to see him, sighing she was getting sick of being with Harry and Ron; they were stupid and so boyish. She wanted nothing more than to be by herself, and get her work done find a job then speak to someone more mature for her.
"She really is a good actress for someone her age" said Severus dryly as he sat down.
"Do you know that bastard has been spending Harry's money?" snapped Ron; he looked like he had wanted to do that all day.
"What do you mean?" asked Severus blinking at Ron's abrupt temper.
"I mean that Dumbledore has been stealing Harry's money, not just small amounts huge amounts! About twenty to forty times a year how can he get away with doing that!" said Ron angry, wishing he had told his best friend earlier. He had not said anything for fear that Harry thought he was asking for money.
"I see it is as I feared then" said Severus; he had suspected that as soon as he had heard Harry did not know about his own accounts.
"What did you know?" asked Ron frowning.
"When it appeared Harry didn't know about his money, I feared that Dumbledore was using the money for his own gain, I didn't ever believe it was going that far however" said Severus sighing softly.
"I read a book earlier, it says there is a ritual that can make you come of age and also make you come into your magic early, instead of when your twenty one" said Harry.
"Do you even know what you are talking about?" said Severus his eyes slightly wider than normal.
"Yes I do" said Harry.
"Harry I don't think it's a good idea" said Ron.
"I need the magic to defeat Voldemort, if I want to defeat him I need all the training and magic I can get. Now getting my magic now will mean I have time to train and get used to the magic before I'm due back at Hogwarts. Voldemort wont know what hit him, especially if I have special powers" said Harry passionately.
"You do have a point there" said Ron biting his lip nervously.
"What's wrong Ron?" asked Harry frowning.
"Your not going to ask me, are you Harry?" asked Ron wide eyed.
"Eugh, no thanks Ron," said Harry grimacing.
"Then who" said Ron, he knew Harry didn't trust anyone else.
Harry looked from Ron, and then to Severus his eyes never left the man, both Ron and Severus felt their eyes widen more. They obviously understood what Harry was trying to tell them, it was Harry's turn to chew his lip.
"No way" said Severus immediately.
"Am I that repulsive?" asked Harry hurt lacing his voice.
"Don't be stupid Harry, I'm you teacher and old enough to be your father" said Severus, knowing it was wrong.
"There is no rules against a teacher and student getting together, plus we are not getting together its just sex, well a ritual anyway "said Harry nervously.
"I'm old enough to be your father" said Severus; this was the only thing he had left to protest with.
"But your not, and never will be my father, look at Dumbledore and McGonagall no one against them but Dumbledore is old enough for her to be his great-great Granddaughter" pointed out Harry.
"You are serious?" asked Severus, he had not expected Harry to put up such a fight. Especially when he had people falling at his feet, day in and day out, he was the hero why would he want to sleep with him.
"Very" said Harry nodding his head.
"But why me, I mean you could get anyone you want to do it for you" protested Severus.
"Not everyone, I would not do it" said Ron pointing his hand in the air a smirk on his face.
"I don't want anyone else, you are experienced, someone I trust to share this with I don't think I need any other ideas." said Harry smiling slightly.
"How about you could have the most gorgeous person in Hogwarts?" asked Severus, he didn't want to fight anymore which surprised Severus deep down to his very core. That's probably why he continued to fight it, for his own sanity.
"You may not be gorgeous but you are sexy and handsome" said Harry.
"Harry, are you gay was that why you asked me that question?" asked Ron looking and sounding serious.
"Yes Ron I am, and I have had a crush on Snape, although I never admitted it. His voice was like the devil and the way he moved was like he was in a cloud in heaven." said Harry.
"Eugh I don't want to listen to this, so are you going to do it or not?" asked Ron looking at Severus along with Harry now.
"I'm not going to get out of this am I?" asked Severus sighing softly.
"Nope, you of all people should know by now professor, when I want something I will go to great lengths to get it" said Harry smirking.
"This is not right, the spell is actually in the Dark Arts section" said Severus.
"Yes, but no rule has been made about the spell so I can use it," said Harry, Severus was surprised at how much Harry had put into consideration before talking about it. Reading all the rules, shaking his head, he agreed knowing he would not get out of it.
"Fine, if we do this, we need to leave Hogwarts" said Severus.
"Why?" Harry asked confused.
"Because your magic will mature, this means magic will pour off of you, Dumbledore would become suspicious right away" said Severus.
"Well we can just go to a Muggle hotel for the night, they won't know about magic they might feel it but that doesn't matter." said Harry.
"Yes but if Dumbledore finds out we are going we are fucked anyway" said Severus sighing.
"True, we will need to get Ron to cover for us, it will need to be a night you know you won't be called and there is not an order meeting." said Harry.
"I will sort everything out, you give me the book and go and do what ever you want to do. I will give you detention when it's ready, we don't have long, everyone will be going home soon" said Severus.
"Ok," said Harry handing the book over and leaving.
"Goodbye Severus" said Harry walking out; leaving a god smacked Severus behind. No one had dared call him his first name in a very, very long time. It was kind of refreshing in a way.
"Goodbye Professor" said Ron before leaving; he knew Professor Snape and his best friend were going to end up together before they knew it. Smirking the two boys went back to Gryffindor tower. Towards a probably bitching Hermione, who was slowly getting on Ron and Harry's last nerves?
The statement that Harry had gotten was safely in his pocket, they had got sidetracked that evening. Harry had decided he would do it himself, as soon a he got the paper he would look out the property section, and find something. Hopefully Dumbledore would not find out, not at least until he was sixteen. Then the old man would not be able to do anything, for the vaults would be his legally. Everything went to the heir when he was sixteen years old, and he would be that on July 31st.
It was along time, but Harry had decided to let Dumbledore continue getting the money until his birthday. As soon as he would be telling the Gringotts Goblins to give him his keys and that no one was to get into his vaults. Only then would Dumbledore find out, by then it would be too late, Harry would be of age, and there was nothing Dumbledore could do.
Dumbledore seemed to forget that he was Muggle raised and he legally came of age at the age of sixteen. He would not learn until it was too late, by then Harry would be free of Dumbledore's hold and manipulations.
