Harry Potter My Way

Chapter 7

Harry woke up; he smiled when he remembered last night. Not everyone hated him; he just hoped that it would last. Getting a shower, he was always first one up. He was dressed within minutes, ready for the day. Getting his school bag ready, the others began wakening up. He was out of the dorm room, before any of them could see him. He had not even had a chance to look through his parents things; he swore he would find a minute to get through it.

Walking into the great hall, he began eating his breakfast, sausage and eggs were all he had. He took his toast to class with him, classes were getting more, and more boring for him. He was learning nothing, already knowing how to do everything they show. He was up to fourth year books, how anyone could take so long to read there books, Harry did not know.

Harry decided to skip the last lesson; no one would know he was not there. Even if they did, he would just say he had felt sick. So while everyone was at boring history of magic, for two hours. He was sitting reading, and looking at everything his parents had owned. He had his fathers trunk, which had a diary. His mothers trunk had journals and diary's and many other things too.

Dear diary

We just arrived at Hogwarts! It's amazing, the food just appeared out of no where, there are ghosts too, the one I spoke to is nearly headless nick. Oh it's so fun I was sorted into Gryffindor. But the hat wanted to put me in Slytherin or Ravenclaw, but the person on the train told me that the Ravenclaws and Slytherins were all purebloods and I would never fit in. But the Gryffindor's are not nice people, well for brave people anyway. I hope things get better, I have to go now; I need to read my books before tomorrow, potions first thing! It looks so exiting.

Dear diary,

My first day of school was amazing, potions was great! And it helps that my partner is a pure blood. He really seems to like potions, I did not know there was different ways to chop and dice your potions, he showed me it's amazing. His name is Severus Snape; the other Slytherins were not amused by him talking to me. I really hate James Potter and the other people who hung around him all day, called me a know it all for knowing the answer they also bullied other people, I hate them all.

"Strange how did my parents get together then?" was all the boy could think. Turning the pages, he settled for when she was in her sixth year. There was no point in reading the whole thing. It was kind of like interrupting your mothers privacy.

Dear diary,

Professor Dumbledore told us to come to his office; he wants us to join something called the order of the phoenix. It's a group fighting against Voldemort; of course I have agreed to join. But I'm not sure about the headmaster; he seemed to have control over the whole people there, not mind control or anything, but they did everything he asked them without question. I will need to watch what I am doing; wow I sounded really Slytherin there. Perhaps it's my Slytherin traits coming out when I need them. Going for now,

Bye.

"So my mum was suspicious too wow" was all Harry could say, flipping to the next page he got the fright of his life.

Dear diary,

I feel like killing Severus Snape's father! How dare that man hurt his son, how dare he. I cannot believe that the man made Sev join the dark lord! Branding him with the dark mark. Sev was in an awful state, I had to invent a potion to sooth the after affects of the Cruciatus curse! No one else will help him then I will; I'm going to start working on one that will remove the curse permanently! I wont see Sev suffer, but I asked Sev to see Dumbledore and he has gone, I just hope I don't regret it, I still don't trust Dumbledore!

"Oh my gods, he's, he's a supporter of the dark lord! The one that killed my mum and dad. No wonder he said they would kill him, if he was found being nice to me. They would kill him torture him! That's for sure" said Harry horrified. He found himself understanding his teacher, more and more as he read the book. Then the thought struck him.

"He owes Dumbledore a life debt probably for saving him from Azkaban" Harry mused.

Dear diary

It's been a while since I wrote in here, the war is raging on and its becoming worse, Severus is slowly withdrawn from me. I eventually got him to talk; he is being forced to kill people! A five year old child! What have I done to my best friend? I have destroyed him oh Sev, I'm so sorry. I should never have asked this of you, it's not right. James has changed since his parents died, he has mellowed no longer tormented anyone! He stopped talking to Sirius Black his best friend for nearly luring Severus into the Whomping Willow! And Remus was in there! In wolf form. He turned into a werewolf once a month.

Severus changed after that too.

"Nearly killed or bitten by a werewolf, fuck no wonder he is bitter and gods horrible. Dads parents are dead then, I was curious to what happened to them. Wonder what happened to my other gran and granddad." said Harry, he was learning more and more about his parents. It looks like he would not need Severus to tell him after all.

Flipping further through the book he stopped at an entry.

Dear diary,

We have graduated its been a year since I wrote in this, me and Sev cannot see each other as often as we used to, he came to James and Our home bloody and beaten. He really was a mess, I begged him to stop going back. What he said made me realize, there was no backing out. Sev is right, but I hate this, I have done this to my friend. James did not seem to care about Sev but when he saw him bleeding and beaten he paled. I think he just realizes the sacrifices my best friend is making. It's a shame we are going into hiding, Peter Pettigrew is to be our secret keeper we are using Sirius black as a decoy, we named him Harry's Godfather and Severus is his second godfather I hope Harry lives with one of them, I hope nothing happens. But I have a feeling something might.

Harry sat there stunned, he could not believe what he had just read, he had two godfathers out there, and none of them had taken them. Questions popped into his head, where was Sirius Black? And who was he. And why had he not taken him in, there were so many questions. All he could think right now was: Why had Severus not taken him in? It was only then he began to get angry, knowing his 'godfather' was bound to have finished class. He bolted from the common room, everyone getting out of his way when they saw the look in Harry's eyes.

As he was running, memories of his life played over and over again in his mind. He felt like hitting the man now, how could he! And his mum had the gall to even consider the man his godfather, great choices she had made. He was going to make sure, he had given the man a piece of his mind by the time he was done with him.

A bang surrounded the dungeons as Harry walked in, Severus did not even get the chance to open his mouth and shout at him. Before Harry was at him punching him in the stomach his words were scrambled together, that even the spy he was could not understand them.

"how…..leave………like…..that……mum……….supposed…..best…….best friend" was all Harry was able to get out, through his rage. How could the man do that, not even coming to visit him? It made him all the more mad, and hit the man all the more.

Severus was stunned no one had, ever dared even speak to him never mind attack him. And it had been a long time since he had needed to defend himself. Harry's beating, continued, Severus' ribs began to hurt. Getting pissed of now, he roughly grabbed Harry's hands and had Harry on his bum before he could protest.

"What the hell is your problem?" snapped the man. What the hell was wrong with the boy?' was all Severus could think. Like him or not, the boy was not getting away with hitting him like that. He demanded respect from all his students.

"I hate you! I hate you! How could you" snarled Harry. Then he lay defeated and slumped on the dungeons floor. Perhaps his aunt and uncle were right, perhaps he was unlovable.

Getting up he was about to leave, when the door banged shut on him. Growling he tried to open the door, but it was locked. He was so tired, and sore he just wanted to fall asleep right there and then.

"You will tell me what that was all about, or I will give you detention for the rest of your time at Hogwarts!" snarled Severus. Holding his ribs, Harry sure had done a number on him.
