Hey everyone, sorry it's taken so long for me to type this up hopefully i will have more soon. Thanks to cara-tanka for looking over this for me.
Also, do you think this should have Snape and Harry's relationship should be either a mentor, father-figure, biological father, or snarry relationship. Just review and tell me what you think.
Chapter 4: Golden Snakes
As he climbed the stairs, Harry let his mind wander from the events of the night to the flaring pain in his scar. He had managed to keep it at bay in the kitchen but knew he needed to lie down before he collapsed.
Stretching out his senses, he found a room with large traces of Ron's magic and went inside to take the unoccupied bed. Lying down, he allowed himself to drift off as his mind was pulled in to another's.
Malfoy was screaming in pain under a crucio as Tom paced in front of his throne "How could you fail at such an important task Malfoy? You disappoint me." he hissed. He was released from the spell and Malfoy crawled to his master's feet to kiss his robes.
"I beg forgiveness my lord, but I bring you news of an interesting development, the Potter boy, my lord, he has agreed to join our cause."
Voldemort spun around, his blood red eyes widening in surprise. "What? Show me." he said and pointed his wand at Lucius and entered his mind. Malfoy had a smug smile on his face as his lord rooted through his memories, not noticing the look of fury that had come over Voldemort's face.
A minute later, Voldemort withdrew from Malfoy's mind and immediately started to yell and throw curses at the death eater "You idiot! How dare you believe him and then not bring him to me? Leave my sight before I kill you." Malfoy jumped to his feet and raced out of the room, just missing a killing curse Voldemort had flung at him.
Tom let out a scream of frustration and anger as Harry bolted up in bed, his bones aching from the crucio and his scar pounding. He sighed and moved over to his trunk, pulling out and downing a few potions before getting back into bed and falling back asleep, relieved Ron was still out of the room.
Snape's POV:
After the three Weasleys had finally quieted down, there was unsurprisingly an uproar from Black.
"That's not Harry. He's an imposter, he has to be. James' son would never do something like that, it's so, so … Slytherin."
Dumbledore turned to him "Don't worry Sirius, nothing is wrong with young Harry" he soothed. Black was about to continue ranting but Albus had enough sense to cut him off with a look. Before the Headmaster could speak again the Weasley matriarch spoke up, "OK kids, that's enough, up to bed with you."
I tuned the next fifteen minutes of complaints out and simply smirked at Black, Weasley finally left following Granger and I took the opportunity Molly had left me. "Didn't you hear her Black?" I drawled, "It's past the children's bed time, you should go brush your teeth before you get cranky."
I am sure if he had an intelligence higher than a snail's, he would have seen that my smirk turned joyous when he predictably jumped up and started yelling. Albus had gotten him settled down a few moments later and sat down pouting like a child.
The rest of the night was spent speaking of the change in Potter and the Dark Lord's offer. I snorted when someone fearfully asked if Potter could be becoming dark. Most of the Orders attention came upon me.
"What Snape?" the mutt snarled, "Do you find the possibility that my godson could be corrupted by the dark funny?"
I rolled my eyes. "No mutt, you obviously don't know the boy. He may be a brat but he would never join the Dark Lord."
There was a brief silence before Albus spoke "I agree with Severus. Well, that's all for tonight. It's late so let's all go home and get some sleep."
Most of the Order stood up to chat and say goodbye while I slipped off to floo to Hogwarts.
