Disclaimer I don't own Harry Potter.


After Harry paid for his robes they left Malkin's shop and Snape took Harry over to Flourish and Blotts next to buys Harry's school books. When looking threw the store Harry looked up at Snape "Professor Snape Sir, what is a Slytherin and a Gryffindor?"

Snape who was busy looking threw a book looked down at Harry "Slytherin and Gryffindor are houses at Hogwarts then students are sorted in too. These four in total Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw are the anothers." Snape explained then go's back to reading his book.

"Sorry? Sir what house would l be in the letter didn't said" Harry said as they wait in line to buy his books.

"You will find out at Hogwarts and you will be place in the house that best fits you. A Gryffindor which your parents were in, they value bravery. A Hufflepuff they value loyalty, a Ravenclaw which Professor Quirrell is in they value wisdom. Lastly a Slytherin which I am head of value strong determination and a strong work ethic ." Snape said as he paid for his book and Harry paid for his as well. They travelled to Apothecary next, where Harry bought his potion ingredient and Snape (Using school funds) bought some ingredient for the school. After leaving Apothecary they travelled to Eesylobs Owl Emporium where Harry bought himself a snowy owl.

"Last thing is a wand." Harry said looking down at his list as his supplies were levitate by his shoulder from a spell that Snape put on them.

"Ollivander's" Snape said nodding over to a store "Is the best place for wands." he said as they made they way down the street and headed inside the store as Snape quickly closes his eyes remembering coming in here many years ago.

"Go a head Sev, you can go first." said a little redhead girl with the same eye color as Harry.

"No, no. Ladies first." said a eleven year old Snape.

"Such a gentleman." the girl said playing making Snape go a little red.

"I was wondering when I'll be seeing you Mr. Potter." Ollivander said given Harry a smile then waves to Snape "Professor Snape, its seems just like yesterday you and Lily were buying your wands together." he said as he gives Harry a wand "Well give it a wave." Ollivander said as Harry waves the wand causing a huge mess and Harry quickly puts his wand down as Ollivander grabs another "Try this one" Ollivander said as Harry gives it a wave and a stream of lights came out of the wand. "Bravo, but curious." Ollivander said.

"What's curious?" Harry said.

"Its just I remember every wand I ever sold, and its curious that you have this wand. When its twin gave you that scar." Ollivander said.

"And who owned that wand" Harry asked.

"We don't dare say his name." Ollivander said.

"Were finished here, come along Mr. Potter." Snape said leading Harry outside and they walked back to The Leaky Cauldron. "Lets stop for a bite to eat Mr. Potter, I will buy it for you." Snape said.

"Thanks, Sir but I can buy it."

"Consider it a birthday present Mr. Potter. I doubt the Dursley got you anything this year or any year." Snape said as they find a empty table and waited to be served and order there food.

"Professor?" Harry said as he finished eating a little food "You mention my parents a few times, can you tell me anything about them." he said waiting till Snape finished chewing the food in his mouth.

"Your, mom. Was a very smart, kind and caring person. She could see the beauty in people even if there was no beauty on the outside. And- She was very good friend. As for your father- well I didn't really know him to well." Snape said stopping himself from bashing the boy's father as he go's back to eating.

"Sir, he killed my parents?" Harry said pointing at his scar. "The one who gave me this? Please Professor tell me something"

Snape closes his eyes taking a breath remembering the time he was spy the terror of those days still keeps him up at night. "Not all wizards are good just like muggles some are good and bad. Couple of years ago there was this very evil wizard it was very dark times Potter. Your parents fought against him and were... killed. He tried to do the same to you, but for some reason the spell killed him instead. That's why your famous." Snape said.

"Do you two need anything else." a waitress asked.

"Do you have any cake? Chocolate cake maybe?" Snape said as the waitress nods.

"Thanks can you, give two slices of chocolate cake please?" Snape said.

"You didn't have to." Harry said looking down.

"I already told you its a birthday present. " Snape said.
