"Are you ready Harry?" asked Severus.
"Yes sir."
"Alright here we go, we are to meet Lucius and Draco at the Three Broomsticks right?"
"Right."
After grabbing some floo he and Harry stepped in the floo. Grapping on to Harry he dropped the floo.
"Diagon Alley!"
Dropping the floo they disapperared in the green flames.

Stepping out the flames Harry was in awe in what he saw. Things being levitated, people apparating, things being transfigured in thin air. Even though Severus told him much about the Wizarding World seeing it is completely different. His face showed the same expression as it did yesterday when they went to Gringotts and Harry saw how much money his parents left him. Looking at the boy's face Severus smiled. It has been a month since he rescued Harry from the Dursley's. After a month of talking and tears Harry was healing from the abuse, though Severus knew he would never completely recover from the trauma. Both he and Lucius has been trying to think of a way for Harry not to go back to the Dursley's next summer. "But we still got time for that. Let's just get through today and tomorrow." he thought He and Harry both grown close over the month and it broke his heart that it was time for him to leave. Finally reaching their destination, he opened the door to the Three Broom Sticks only to see Lucius and Draco at a table arguing.
"It's not fair!"
"Draco I don't want to hear about it anymore!"
"But father...!"
"Draco! You cannot have your own rooms at Hogwarts and that's final!
Harry smirked at the pair.
"He may be my best friend but he's such a spoiled brat." he thought.
"Why not?!"
"Because I said so! I had to live in the dorms and so did your Uncle Severus."
"But that was a million years ago!"
Lucius stared at his son.
"Are you calling me old?"
"Didn't you find some grey strains in your hair 2 days ago?"
Lucius started to blush with embarrassment.
"Did your mother tell you that?" he whispered
"Yeah. She also told me how you ran around the bedroom like a chicken with its head cut off freaking out."
Lucius got redder.
Harry had to turn away from the group to compose himself; face red from holding in the laughter.
Severus was struggling from keeping in the laughter himself.
"This conversation is over Draco."
"But what about my rooms?"
"No!"
Not able to hold it in anymore Harry laughed harder than he ever did.
The startled pair turned to Harry and Severus.
"Please tell me you didn't hear all of that." Lucius said
"Too late." smirked Severus
Lucius groaned and put his head in his hands.
"We need to get going before it's too late." stated Severus.
Lucius and Draco got out of their chairs and the four of them left the Three Broomsticks.
"Lucius do you have the list?"
"Yes." he said taking it out of his pocket.
"Alright where to first?"
"Ollivander's!" Draco exclaimed.
Severus turned to Harry.
"It's that okay with you Harry?"
Harry nodded.
"Alright, let's go."
After reaching their destination they walked into Ollivanders. The tinkling bell alerted Ollivander and he went to the front to see to his customers.
"Ah Lucius, Severus it's about time you shown up here."
"Ollivander." Severus greeted with a curt nod. Lucius did the same.
"Ah Draco it's good too see you my boy. And Harry Potter." he said in awe
He held out his hand to Harry and he shook.
"It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Nice to meet you sir."
"Alright, now let's try out some wants shall we."
After several wands Draco found the one for him. Now it was Harry's turn. After many tries Harry thought he would never get a want too fit him. Ollivander came back with another wand and gave it to Harry. "This has to be the one." he thought. He held the wand and a glow seemed to surround him. The group stared at him in awe even has the glow diminished.
"Whoa..." said Draco.
"What the hell was that?!" Severus asked Ollivander.
"The phoenix whose tail feather that's in this wand gave only another tail feather to another wand. That other wand was owned by You-Know-Who."
Silence...
Severus got over the shock first.
"How..how much is the wand?" he studdered.
"Seven galleons."
Severus paid the man and the group left the shop.

After leaving Ollivanders they went to Madam Malkins to get their uniform. After 2 hours of being there (Draco had to be measured several times believing Madam Malkin's measurements were wrong) they left with a stressed Lucius, a satisified Draco, an annoyed Severus, and a amused Harry. They went to get their books which luckily was no trouble. That is until they went to buy cauldrons.
"I want a bigger cauldron!"
Severus pinched the bridge of his nose Harry and just shook his head.
Lucius sighed.
"Draco this is the required size for 1st year potions."
"But I don't like that one father. Uncle Severus can you change the requirements just for me?"
"No Draco. Get your cauldron and let's go"
Draco crossed his arms and puffed out his bottom lip.
"No fair." he pouted.
Lucius groaned. He got the cauldron and paid for it.
"Let's go please." he pleaded.

After picking up the rest of their supplies they went back to the Three Broomsticks for a late lunch. After eating his meal quickly Severus left abruptly saying he has some business to take care of and will be back soon. The rest of the group ate quietly each in their own thoughts. Severus came back in later with something big in his hand. He walked back to their table and tapped Harry on the shoulder. Harry turned around and looked at the object Severus carried. He uncovered it and next thing Harry knew he was staring into the yellow eyes of a snowy white owl. It simply took Harry's breath away
"She's beautiful. Thank you." whispered.
"You're welcome." he smiled.
Draco looked towards his father.
"Father.."
"No."
"But!"
"No!"
Draco sighed.

After having dinner with the Malfoys, Harry and Severus flooed back to Snape Manor. With the help of Severus his things were packed and ready to go for tomorrow. After showering he came back in his bedroom to find Severus sitting in a chair by the bed waiting on him.
"Are you ready for tomorrow?" he asked.
Harry sighed.
He stuck his finger in his owl's cage, Severus named Hedwig, and let her nip on his finger.
"Yeah, i'm ready."
Severus nodded.
"Alright, it's for bed."
Harry got into bed and pulled the covers up. Severus leaned down to give him a hug but we he tried to get out of the hug he couldn't. Harry kept holding him not wanting to let go sobbing in his chest.
"Harry?"
Harry sobbed louder.
"I don't want to leave here. I don't want to leave you. I love you."
Severus lifted Harry out of bed and put him in his lap. He held him what seemed like hours unknowing that his face was wet with tears as well. Eventually Harry's sobs subsided and he fell asleep. Severus tucked him back in bed and kissed his forehead and walked towards the door
"I love you to Harry."
He opened the door and closed it quietly behind him.
