A/N: Hm 5th chapters in one week and i ain't stopping lol. We are going to explore deeper into Harry's past and see a significant change in his personality. As of now i am offline typing this (School Wifi is down but i'm going to get it fixed). How many people like the butchered ollivanders scene? Anyway, we will see the day view of a character and answer some unspoken and voiced questions. If we can make it to 12 reviews then i will try to post 2 more chappies by the end of this week deal? Anyway moving on, i feel it is insignificant to do the disclaimer sense we established i don't own Harry Potter.
Chapter 4: Revelations
Harry sat down watching Professor snape stare at him as he ate lunch. He had been silent since they left Madam Malkins while they traveled to gringotts then finished shopping. Closing off their trip they went back to the leaky cauldron to pick up some lunch, Harry had wondered when Snape was gonna question him as he ate a sandwich and tomato soup. Snape on the other hand was deep in thought, Dumbledore wasn't going to get the last thing he had of Lily but, It seemed someone already got him. The Songbird mark, Where have i seen that before. Looking at the young boy he frowned. 'Red Songbird' He though, a crimson red, like "Mr, Potter, please share with me when you became a member of the cursed chorus guild?" He said through clenched teeth. Snape himself had joined under the Dark Lords wishes but he had left in the end after the dark lords demise. Snape would recognize that symbol anywhere from its distinct color, The color of of the blood from the first kill, magically charmed to never go away until the marked person dies. Harry looked at Snape with a glacier like gaze as Snape averted his eyes. The difference in Harry's gaze was significant. His eyes held the look of a pure killer which unnerved Snape much worse than any Death Eater or even Voldemort could."What do you know about the guild, it isn't suppose to be spoke of and if it is known to the public we are told to Eliminate all evidence." Snape felt true fear for the first time in his life, He knew the methods of the assassins, If harry was trained longer than him then snape held no doubt he could fulfill his promise."Potter, i was once a member of the Cursed Chorus. But, how long were you a part of them and how did you survive the initiation and training." Snape was surprised, The initiation ritual was extremely taxing on any persons psyche and sometimes even fatal to adults, he could only imagine what horrors this child had to endure. "I survived, thats all you need to know. My past isnt important, i have one target. I trust you can keep this a secret?" Harry spoke in a tone that left no room for argument. Gone was the silly child facade, this was a cold blooded killer Snape had unfortunately met and as far as he was aware, his self-preservation senses were screaming at him not to anger this demon in a childs body.
Meanwhile two people, a child and an adult, were having a heated debate in front of the entrance to diagon alley. They were under a silencing charm so they couldn't be heard as the child said. "But father, i saw the mark clearly. That isn't just some scar or a coincidence. You told me about the dark lords failed plan to align himself with this guild. What if he is one of their members?" The boy insisted looking at his father with scared eyes. He knew his father was one of the Death Eaters and if word got out that he was there the guild might enact revenge. One might ask how a kid knew so much at only 10 years old. His father was preparing him to serve under the Dark Lord. The father turned his steel grey eyes toward his son grimacing at how he looked so much like him in his youth."Listen son, You're messing with things that you shouldn't worry about yet. The dark lord will return and when he does, His plans are his own and he doesn't take well to people prying into his business. Okay?" The boy stared at his father scrunching his face before reluctantly nodding his father took a small sigh of relief before saying "Thank you Dragon".
Harry was annoyed, Scratch that, He was furious. Damn Snape and his observation skills. Though he knew his mask would be broken sooner or later. Glancing at the older slytherin harry scowled, This man knew about the guild and claimed to be apart of it for a bit. Although Harry's Training methods were a bit unorthodox, he graduated top of his class at the tender age of 8 and been on the field for about a year and a half before his final assignment. This was to be an ongoing mission and Harry would be considered M.I.A until it was completed. "Mr, Snape, Why are you going to take me back to the Dursleys. Now that you know who i am or at least what i am, you know i can kill them at any second and vanish from the world." He was truly curious as to why, Sooner or later he was gonna do away with the dursleys as he concluded but what about him moving away. "I cannot do that Potter, Blood Wards surround your home from people who wish to kill you, it is not my place to tell you why. you would have to ask the Headmaster for the specifics. Now go to bed, we will finish up tomorrow and return to the Dursleys tomorrow."Snape replied as they finished checking into the leaky cauldron and went to their rooms. Harry sighed nodding and walked to his room. Snape meanwhile walked downstairs and tossed some floo powder in the fireplace "Headmasters Office, Severus Snape" He waited as the flames turned a dark violet signifying the unlocking of the private floo network and stepped in appearing in the headmasters office.
"Dumbledore you're mad if you think i will allow the Potter brat to return to the Dursleys. They are a danger to him and in return the boy is just as dangerous."He stopped himself short of revealing the compromising information as he continued."That boys magical signature is too mature for a 10 year old and the accidental magic he did in ollivanders would cause death to the muggles." Snape partially lied, in honesty Harrys accidental magic could result in their death but even worse, Harry could just as easily kill them with anything. Dumbledore stared at Snape smiling but inward he was growling, Snape couldn't bond to the boy or he would be swayed to the dark side, but if he suddenly told snape to cease his mission it would raise suspicion from him. Sighing Dumbledore replied in a saddened tone. "So it seems you care about Harry, Knowing your position with riddle, do you think it is safe to get close to the boy? Honestly Severus, Leave the boy with Molly and her sons or with Diggle but the boy must be safe and i must know where he is at all time." Snape inwardly sneered at the old fool as he read through the headmasters guilt card. "I am only doing what i promised to Lily or do you not want me to do that Headmaster?" Realizing he backed the headmaster into a corner Snape continued pushing. How about i leave him with Madam Longbottom and her grandson, I heard he is the same age as the brat and id rather have him with some who doesn't have to focus on 5 other children." Snape smirked mentally, At least this way he could keep tabs on the boy headache and not seem like he is caring too much. Dumbledore smiled thinking how he could work this in his favor and agreed."Okay Severus, Leave the boy with Augusta and Neville for the rest of the summer." Snape nodded sharply and walked over to the fireplace tossing powder and stating his location."By the way headmaster, Wouldn't it be odd if the blood wards fail if harry didn't consider the dursleys his family say for neglect, or something as simple as not being treated fairly. Ideally the person do have to consider the ones connected to the wards family or all is for naught."with that snape walked through the floo leaving a bewildered headmaster behind.
A/N: As promised, another chapter although a little earlier than i'd like, To much free time on my hands. I really like how snape got the last laugh and dumbledore walked into the ploy easily. Neville will play a nice sized role in this as he replaces the role of ron in this story. Yes he will be OOC as will Hermione, Neville will be in slytherin sense he is a pure blood and again OOC. Hermione will be considered a Pseudo-Slytherin sense although she is muggle born, slytherins do love people with skills and power both of which our favorite bushy haired girl have, Although i think she will be more like the badass she is in 3rd year than the whiny brat she was in 1st and 2nd. So if you like the story R/R and tell me your favorite Filler characters from harry potter. I might make a poll to give those characters a shot at becoming a forward player. Who knows. Hasta La Vista!
