Declaimer: You do not want me to own Harry Potter. I have a very disturbed mind.

Chapter 7 The Dursleys should run…

Dumbledore was uneasy about Harry Potter. He thought that when he was with the Dursleys, he had made sure that they would treat him like a nobody so when Dumbledore 'rescued' Harry each year the boy would look up to him--almost worship him. That was what suppose to happen every time he was with Harry. But now that was not happing. He was shocked when he saw Harry showing up with those ears and tail but even more so when he had called Harry up to his office and the brat basically told him to 'fuck off.' He started to worry that his weapon had found out what really happened on that Halloween night all those years ago but immediately dismissed it: no one was still alive could give away that information. Dumbledore look out at Harry walking and seeming to enjoying to talk to Severus Snape. That was another thing that worried him: that he was Harry's mate and making Dumbledore loose his grip on the boy if he already hadn't. He would have paid the Dursleys more to make Harry submissive to the headmaster again, but now that Severus would be there at Harry's home, none of that would happen. And he was surprised when the man readily agreed to accompany the boy, thinking that he would be disgusted, but no that hadn't happen. Something needed to be done and soon…

What he didn't know was that he couldn't do a thing about it.

-*- S/H S/H S/H S/H S/H S/H S/H S/H-*-

Oh course when Dumbledore was asked by Harry to have Snape come to him he refused, but when told that Harry was Snape's mate he had to agree. So the two soon to be love birds bordered the train together with people throwing shocked looks, when Severus sat in Harrys compartment with Hermione and Ginny. Harry had told them both about him being Sev's mate and while they where shocked they got over it quickly. So when Harry stepped through the door in the compartment they didn't bat an eye at seeing the man with him.

"Hello my fiendish helpers!" Harry chirped.

Hermione looked up from her book and looked at him as he sat down across form her with confused look on her face. "What does that even mean?"

"I donno. Just came to me like a great idea does to you," Harry paused for a moment. "Or Sev."

"Thank you for including me on in your conversation Mr. Potter." The dour man muttered while sliding right next to him. Then: "Sev?"

"Right Sevvvvv," Harry stressed out the last word. "We are mates so we should call each other by our first names." he poked the chest next to him. "Or in some cases nicknames." And poked the mans chest again.

Severus grabbed the finger that was annoying him. "My name should not nick."

"Ah, but you cannot do anything about it can you?"

"And why do you think you can get away with that?"

"Answering a question with another question is considered rude. And I can get away with it because you love me--or at least you will, now let go of my finger you incubus.'

"Do you even know what that means?" Severus asked releasing the aforementioned finger. "And how did you know I was one?"

Harry looked at the man beside him with wide eyes. "Really?" Then looked up and down appraising him much to Severus chagrin. "Is that why you have that amazing voice?"

Severus smirked. "So you think I have an amazing voice?"

While Harry blushed to the tips of his ears he was saved from answering that when Ginny giggled.

"You guys do not even need the years to act like a married couple!"

"She is right guys." Hermione said to them, closing her book.

"But you would pitch a fit because neither of you had helped with the planning's."

The girls nodded. "Mum would throw a fit then blame it all on Ron." She shuddered. Then looked at Harry raising an eyebrow. "That reminds me…is there something you are not telling me?"

"How does that reminds you of me not telling you anything?"

She huffed. "Because you left me out of the loop about Ron," the red-head started to tick off her fingers. "when you didn't like the headmaster anymore, when you left with Herm's to talk to her about something, then I was the last one to know that you and Professor Snape are mates…" She looked at the black-haired teen in the compartment. "Need I go on?"

Harry shook his head and grinned. "No but I will try to keep you up to date now that I know you hold grudges like that." He hesitated then looked her straight in the eye. "Ginny do you swear to never tell anther soul about this?"

Ginny looked started for a second but quickly composed herself and nodded. "I promise on my magic to never tell anyone what you are about to tell me Harry."

Harry hesitated a little more but decided to just blurt it out. "I have joined the Dark Lord."

Ginny's eyes widened then narrowed. "And?"

Harry was confused. "And… what?"

"Oh that's it?"

"Yeah." Harry said slowly. "You are…" Harry tried to think of the right word.

"Accepting of this?" Sev supplied to him. Good old Sev…just when he needed help he came riding up to him on his…well black steed wearing…black armor. Harry quickly shook himself of that image and hoped that Sev hadn't read it in his mind.

"Well yeah… but after what you told me about Dumbledore I was surprised you didn't go to him sooner."

"Oh."

'When did she mature?' Harry thought with amazement.

-*- SNARRY ALL AROUND

The rest of the train ride was uneventful. Ron did show up but when saw Snape glaring at the boy, he quickly scampered out of there into his hidey hole. And because of this unnatural time by themselves (Hermione was off reading and Ginny was visiting some friends at this time.) the two creatures decided to get to know about each other until the train pulled into London. Harry was amused to have been told by Sev that the Dursleys have no idea that someone was coming with Harry to live with throughout the summer. But before he had to face them he was currently facing his mate.

"Favorite music?"

"Classical. You?"

"Country…the old country. Favorite food?'

"Egg rolls."

"Really? I thought maybe you would like something else…"

"Such as?"

Harry shrugged. "It does not seem like you."

"Nether does your favorite music."

"Hey! Don't diss country. There is nothing wrong with it!"

"Fine then don't talk about my favorite foods. Yours?"

"Bagels."

"Bagels?"

"Yep. Favorite book."

"Undefined. Fav-"

"Wait undefined? What does that mean?"

"It means," Hermione piped up. "That there are to many good books to chose one."

Severus nodded a thank you. "Correct Miss. Granger."

She rolled her eyes and went to her book. How to make sure the person you propose to will say yes. By Married F. Life Harry noted.

"Favorite book?" Severus asked him distracting him. There was a snort from behind the HTMSTPYPTWSY book. Harry glared at the girl before answering.

"Gone with the Wind."

Both pairs of eyes looked at him in shock.

"What?"

They were saved by the train conductors voice.

"We have reached out destination. Please make sure that you have everything before you leave. Thank you and see you next year!"

Harry stood up and stretched, never seeing the look that Severus was giving him as he checked him out. He got his trunk said good-by to Hermione and got off the train with Severus right behind him. Harry felt safe for the first time in his life-he didn't have to worry about anything know that Severus was with him. He turned and smiled at the dark haired man behind him.

"This summer is going to be so much better with you here Sev!"

The older man looked at the boy in front of him. "Was it bad before?"

Harry looked away from those peering black eyes. "It was always bad before…."

Before Severus had a chance to talk to Harry about that he heard a gruff voice that made Harry flinch.

"Boy! Hurry up! We don't have all day!"

Severus looked at the speaker of the voice. A heavy set man with a mustache was glaring at Harry, who looked frightened-- not the boy he had seen on the train who was laughing at what his friends had said. He noticed a horse faced women--Ah Patty--Severus smirked at the thought, and what seemed to be their son. There were no words to describe the boy. Where Harry was almost skin and bone this one was fat and bone.

"Um…" A hand touched Severus briefly. Severus imminently took it and gripped it tightly.

"Do not worry Harry…" Severus looked down into Harrys eyes. "They will never land a hand on you unless they want to lose it."

The smile that the boy gave him shook him to the core. How can anyone hate that smile?

But you did for some time Sev.

Do you ever have something nice to say?

Not really.

Then kindly go away to wherever you go when you are not bothering me.

Hump!

Severus gripped the boys hands tightly. "Come Harry…"

The boy looked up at him and Severus smirked at him. "Lets show your relatives what happens when they mess with a Dark Lords follower…"

The grin he received made him smile at the wickedness he saw.

"…and his mate."

Harry laughed and went over to his family, but before he got far the uncle looked at Harrys ears and decided to die today.

"What the hell is wrong with you now, you Freak! You better have those off when we get home of else I will get them off!" The man growled and was about to yank the boys arm when Severus stepped in.

"If you so much lay a hand on that boy there is no telling what I may do." Severus whispered in a deadly calm.

"Oh and who might you be anther freak, eh?" The man looked up into those coal black eyes with a glare, clearly not realizing the danger he was in.

"I am a teacher at the school and will be accompanying Mr. Potter on his way home," 'and afterward' Severus thought smirking. Best not let them know anything yet. "So I would refrain from touching him in my presence…is that clear?" Severus voice had taken on the tone so that it was like he was whispering but sounded loud.

The oaf nodded still sending a glare to Harry and muttered under his voice "Just wait till we get home, boy…"

Severus had to refrain from snorting. 'Yes just wait till we get home…'

They all piled into the car with the Dursley boy trying to stay far away from the man who was coming with him. Severus rolled his eyes and sat down and mostly because there was no room since the other boy took up a lot of space Harry sat in his lap. And was immediately in hell. The boy was wonderful on his lap and caused his fantasies to go haywire with need. He then heard a little giggle and almost groaned as the boy turned around him and started to whisper in his ear.

"So how do you like my family?"

"The dark lord should have killed them a long time ago." He closed his eyes to think of something besides the creature sent to torment him on his lap.

"Hmm. Yes I would have to agree with you on that," Harry said softly.

Severus looked at Harry who had a look of sadness on his face. "You are the heir (A/N it is correct spelling is it? *laughs*) to the dark lord so you can kill anyone you want." The boy looked happier at that thought.

"Your right! But.." Severus saw a Slytherin look appear on Harrys face. "Wouldn't they be better to scare first?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean…what if I got some 'visitors' to come over?"

Severus had to grin at that. He started to laugh. The Dursleys shuddered at the malice pouring from the man. They could not wait to get ride of him.

The car pulled into number 4 privet Drive and they all got out. Vernon looked at the man as if expecting something.

"Well?" He grumbled to the tall lean man. "You can go now…the boy made it saftly home."

Severus looked up in faux surprise. "Oh I didn't mention?"

Vernon was tired of these games and just wanted him gone. "Leave now you are stepping on privet proptery!" He shouted shaking a ham finger at the man.

Severus looked disgusted at having such a thing waved at him and spoke. "Is that anyway to talk to a guest?"

"What are you talking about?"

Severus took out a letter and gave it to the man. "I am on orders form the Dark Lord and have a letter from the ministry of magic to be here Mr. Dursley." The man smirked. "We will be one whole happy family." And with that he opened the door with a wave of his wand and tugging Harry with him, went inside the house that will be his official home for three months.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

God this chapter was a bitch to write. I must have come up with 3 different ways this chapter could have happened. *sigh* None that were good. First there was a totally different way I started the chapter but it did not seem right to me. Then Snape started to be all mushy and cheesy. I was typing "Snape looked down at the man who stolen his heart…" or "He couldn't think of anywhere he wanted to be but right there beside him." *rolls eyes* Sev is not like that at all! He is still trying to sort out some of his feelings. Maybe I should write anther fight scene? The last one sucked. It was not worthy of being one….maybe later in the summer when Harry goes into danger? Oh yeah sorry it you are surprised about my cussing (I hardly cuss in real life) I am just so tired…. Oh the spelling…Terrible at spelling thank you for mentioning it but once I put up the chapter…maybe next year…I will do something.
