Thanks so much for all the reviews I love you people.

Harry Potter and Co. belongs to Rowling!

Chapter 11. Bactracking, Unwanted Guests and Hated Host!

Flashback! Two Days Earlier

Remus read and re-read the headlines in hopes that he had simply overdone it with the fire whiskey the night before.

SNAPE-POTTER BOND REGISTERED!

WIZARDING WORLD SHOCKED!

It was announced today that Severus Atticus Snape and Harry James Potter were bonded six months ago. Though the full details were not made public, the Ministry of Family Affairs did state that Severus A. Snape met all the guidelines and requisites and as such full custody of The-Boy-Who-Lived was transferred to him. Mr. Potter's Aunt whom we were unable to locate had previously held such custody.

In an interesting turn, Headmaster Albus Dumbledore challenged the Ministry of Affairs' ruling and petitioned for custody of Harry Potter. He was quoted as saying:

"Harry is a boy close to my heart. He has done much for the Wizarding World so to allow custody of him to be transferred to an Ex-Death Eater even one who states to being rehabilitated cannot be in the best interest of the boy. What I do? I do out of love and concern for his well-being."

The Ministry of Family Affairs made it known that the bond had been accepted in blood. So the challenge was rejected.

A short statement was released by Lord Severus A. Snape's barristers:

"Harry J. Potter-Snape as is now his legal name will no longer be attending Hogwarts but will be tutored privately his name will therefore be withdrawn from the Wizarding Tournament."

If you remember, The-Boy-Who-Lived had been chosen as the Tournament's fourth participant.

We can only wish the best for Harry J.Potter-Snape and warn Severus A. Snape that we will all be looking out for the orphaned boy who sacrificed so much for our world. The Ministry of Family Affairs will not be the only one making sure that he is safe from harm.

We are with you Harry.

Signs,

The Wizarding World.

Remus looked at the paper for the longest time and then quickly made his way to the chimney where in a cover of green powder he apparatedto Grimmauld Place.

When Remus arrived it was to find a livid Sirius swearing the house down.

"That son of a bitch! I'll kill him!" screamed Sirius smashing the little furniture he had in the house.

"Remus could feel Sirius anger and growled smelling danger. Remus calmed himself and the wolf before approaching his friend who was now pounding his fist against the wall in obvious frustration.

"Sirius!" Remus shouted hoping to snap Sirius out of it.

"You're here!" said his friend turning around. "You have to help! Look!" he shouted shoving the Daily Prophet into Remus' face. "I failed him, my Godson! I failed him and I failed James and Lily!" finished Sirius grabbing Moony by the arms.

"You had no way of helping him." Remus said trying to calm his friend

"I could have brought him with me!"

"Here? Are you insane!

"At least he'd be here and not with him! That bastard! That fucking bastard!"

"Dumbledore would not have allowed it! The Ministry would've found you!"

"Dumbldore, the Ministry! Who are they? Did they protect him from that Death Eater!"

"You can't blame them Sirius!"

"Yes I can! Yes I will! Good old Remus always the peacemaker…always the peacemaker…." Sirius mumbled doubling over his body shaking with laughter. "You know Moony sometimes it's hard for me to believe you're a werewolf, it really is!" Sirius finished slipping into a hysterical fit of laughter which slowly turned into frustrated sobs as he slipped to the floor.

Remus bent down and pulled him up onto a sofa and sat in front of him. "Sirius it's a bond, maybe it was meant to-"

"You can't be saying it was meant to be!" Sirius shouted rubbing the tears from his eyes.

"You don't know it wasn't!" argued Moony.

"I do know! He's a fucking Potions Master! You personally know how good he is! Tell me my dear friend does he still help you with your condition!" asked Sirius knowingly.

"What are you getting at? What are you saying!" Remus thundered feeling the wolf inside enraged. "I love him just as much as you do! I'm not defending Snape so that I can get a bloody potion!"

Sirius knew Moony would never betray him or Harry not to save his life and certainly not for a potion. "I'm sorry." He whispered remorsefully and looked down.

"I don't think it's in Snape to do something like that, I would have sensed it." Remus said accepting the apology.

"He's a Death Eater!"

"Ex-Death Eater!" corrected Moony patiently trying hard not to lose it with Sirius.

Sirius said nothing for a long while and then calmly whispered, "He did unimaginable things in the service of the Dark Lord he's a master in Dark Arts you yourself have sensed his dark practices…" Remus remembered the times he had been near Severus and felt the Wizard's darkness. He felt the wolf growling in agreement but could still not concede that Sirius could be right. Snape had always been a bastard but Moony also knew that James and Sirius many times had egged Snape to the point of no return. Things were different now; they were no longer school students. Would Snape go that far? Would he use this to get back at them? Could he? The wolf inside him growled angrily and Remus eyes shone a gold yellow and his mouth twisted in a vicious snarl. Sirius saw his friend's transformation and sighed knowing that Moony had finally arrived to the same conclusion he had hours ago.

"If he's done anything to Harry I'll draw and quarter him!" Remus screamed completely enraged.

Sirius rested his head back and closed his eyes, he wasn't alone. He had an ally; someone to help him rescue his Godson. Hold on Harry we're coming for you. DAMNED BE THE MINISTRY, DAMNED BE DUMBLEDORE, DAMNED BE THE BOND AND DAMNED BE SNAPE!

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Remus sat in Hogwarts that evening trying to get some information on Harry.

"Have you heard anything from him?"

"No his guardian controls all communication. I sent two owls and they were sent back, letters unopened," said the Headmaster sipping his tea sadly. He hadn't sent anything but the wolf didn't know that. Werewolves were dark passionate creatures especiallyover their loved ones and it was that passion that Albus intended to exploit.

"There must be something we can do! Some way to get him out!"

"I wish there were I tried so hard. But once Severus made it known that Harry had accepted the bond in blood..." Albus said waiting for the words to sink in.

Accepting a bond in blood meant that Harry had drunk Snape's blood. How Snape had gotten Harry to do such a thing could only make one's imagination run amock ."Headmaster, Harry despised the Potion's Master he would never agree to such a thing…."

"…willingly." Finished the Headmaster putting his cup down. Remus only looked away imagining the unimaginable. After a whileAlbus continued, "I can only reproach myself. I believed in Severus.Unfortunately it seemshe learnt more from the Dark Lord than I had originally thought. He carried the deception for six months without my knowledge…I can only blame myself." repeated the Headmaster mournfully.

"Deception?"

" Remus, I suspect that this bond was induced by a spell or even a….potion."

"Do you have any proof?"

"No, that's why I have not mentioned anything to anyone. I'm afraid that Severus might not react well to any attacks on my part and may choose to take it out on the boy."

"We have to get him! You must know where Snape lives!" Remus demanded in a panic.

"I have no idea of where he resides. The house he was in is no longer in use." Informed the Headmaster.

"But he's an Ex-Death Eater! What of the Ministry?"

"The Ministry of Family Affairs feels that since there is a bond Snape can not injure Harry and that insures his safety."

"Headmaster he needs to be removed from there."

"Iagree but there is something that we must take into consideration…"

"What would that be? Harry hates Snape! He doesn't want to be there!"

"The bond will have to be consummated sooner or later Snape holds that right."

"Snape does not have any right over Harry Potter!" bit out Remus.

"And if he already enforced that right we may have an even bigger problem on our hands." continued the older Wizard ignoring the outburst.

"What!" Remus thundered gripping the hand rests. Snape would not live to see the full moon.

Albus sighed mournfully for effect.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Albus sat in his office after Professor Lupin had left and congratulated himself on a job well done.

He still felt conflicted over not telling Lupin Snape's exact whereabouts but he had to be careful. No one could know about his involvement in Snape's death. Once Snape was dead and both Sirius and Lupin went to Azkaban for it. He would most certainly be awarded custody of Harry and then he could once again focus on the rising of the Dark Lord.

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Draco Malfoy stood behind one of the suit of armors. He had been following Hermione and was about to turn back when he saw her slip into one of the empty classrooms. Careful so as not to be seen or heard he neared the classroom and was able to see his former DADA teacher waiting for her.

Whispering a quiet spell on his shoes he got as close as he could and strained to hear them.

Hermione had received a note from her former Professor and had gone to meet him. She hadn't told Ron anything about it. If he didn't trust her then fineby her!How dare he question the Headmaster's intentions when hecouldn't even manage to pass a class by himself!

"Ms. Granger!"

"Professor I got your message. I'm so worried about Harry!"

"So am I. Do you know anything that might help us!"

"Well, I'm no sure...but I think this bond came about with a potion."

"A potion! Are you sure?" Damn you Snape!

"No professor, I'm not but Neville spoke to me and told me that something happened last year during a detention he and Harry served with Professor Snape. He doesn't remember much but he told me that a potion was given to Harry."

"What kind of potion? Given to him? Are you sure?"

"That's just it Professor I don't know. He doesn't remember very well. He's tried to remember! He really has but he can't. I'm sorry it's not much but he does swear that a potion was involved!"

"Very well, if you hear anything else contact me at Grimmauld Place. I'll be staying with Sirius for a while."

"Sirius Black, Harry's Godfather!"

"Yes the Headmaster, Sirius and I are working to get Harry back."

"That's good to know Sir."

"Goodbye Ms. Granger. If you remember anything make sure to let us know.'

"Yes Professor." she said turning to leave the room. Remus left a couple of minutes afterwards and Draco followed later.

Dddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

Half an hour later Draco sent his father an owl informing him of Sirius Black's whereabouts.

When Lucius received the owl he immediately flooed Minister Fudge and they both made plans for the convict's capture. Fudge wanted it covered by the media; after his complete embarrassment over Potter's custody, he needed something like this to boost his popularity!

Lucius went to the Ministry and assisted the Minister with the arrangements.

Llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Remus made it back to Grimmauld Place and talked long and hard with Sirius. They made their plans and began preparing for the hunt. If anyone could track Snape it was a werewolf and a grimm.

Pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

One day earlier!

How the fight started is not completely clear. But it involved all the Weasley Clan and Draco's pack. By the time they were finally pulled apart Ron and Draco had not only broken each others wands but their noses. Draco was let off with a slap on the wrist but he had to be levitated to the infirmary. Pansy and Ginny had scratches all over their faces and both had black eyes. Fred and George had taken on Crabbe and Goyle and a couple other Slytherins who had made the fight their business. It was a sorry looking lot that was finally led into the Headmaster's office.

Neville who had been walking by the quidditch field at the time of the fight heard the following:

"Take it back!"

"Oh come on weasel you now it's the truth." said Draco smirking.

"Shut up Draco!" shouted Ginny angrily.

"You're just mad cause he got him before you did!" said Pansy smuggly.

"What's the matter? You wanted him, didn't you?" asked Draco maliciously.

"You're just jealous of Harry!" shouted Ron angrily. Draco had been having a field day with Harry's bonding with Profesor Snape and he had had enough!

"Why because he's bonded to Snape! Oh yeah I can't stop crying about it!"shouted Draco at the top of his voice.

"Shut up!" said Ron stopping forward.

"Make me!" and that was all it took. Ron forgot his wand for once and threw himself against Draco and started punching him but he was quickly knocked to one side by Crabbe and Goyle. Fred and George who had been on the other side of the field came running when they heard Ginny screaming. All hell broke loose after that...

Albus had been looking for a way to vent his anger over Snape and Harry so when the Weasleys except for Percy came in all bloodied, he put them on detention pending his decision. He could 've expelled the whole lot but he wanted them to suffer just a little longer.

Arthur Weasley sent him an owl that night protesting over the biased handling of the fight. Biassed! The Headmaster had never been questioned before, he ignored the owl but he did not forget it.

Things were finally on a roll, thought Albus popping a lemon drop in his mouth.

Ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

The day of the capture! Present time!

The capture of Remus and Sirius was bloody. The two Wizards would not go quietly; when they were both finally overpowered three Aurors needed extensive medical attention and four of them had to replace their wands. Minister Fudge who was present through out the whole thing had to take cover behind an old piano.

Sirius and Remus were going over magical maps trying to get a sense of Harry or Snape when Remus's head shot up and his eyes turned a gold yellow.

"Take cover!" he shouted as he hit the floor drawing his wand. Sirius quickly obeyed as an explosion to their right brought down the doorof the library and Aurors rushed in trying to overpower them.

Remus and Sirius knew they had been betrayed and they both knew who had done it. Both Wizards fought passionately knowing what awaited them if they were captured. It was fight or die and they did, and they would have escaped it if hadn't been for the dementors waiting outside.

The Daily Prophet represented by Rita Skeeter was in the far corner her typewriter did not miss a beat as she dramatically described the scene unfolding before her. This would certainly get her the Reporter'sAward!

Ggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

"Good work! Good Work!" Shouted Fudge smuggly as the Dementors carried the unconscious Wizards off.

"Prime Minister! Do you have a statement for the Wizarding World?"

"Why yes! Yes! Firstly, I would like to commend our Aurors who fought these two Wizards and managed their capture. Sirius Black is an escaped convict from Azkahban and it is clear now that Remus Lupin was his accomplice in the escape. Both Wizards will be delivered to Azkhaban promptly!"

"Will there be a trail?"

"Trial?"

"Indeed not! He was tried once and he was found guilty, I'd say he's had his trial."

"What about his accomplice?"

"The werewolf, Professor Lupin will have his trial… in due time."

"Thank you for your time Minister." Said Rita imagining herself receiving the award.

"Oh thank you!" said the Minister puffing up.

No one noticed the house elf who removed himself of the wall and with a pop apparated from the residence.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Sirius and Remus lay in the same cell their hands chained to the walls. Their faces were covered in bruises and completely unrecognizable. The dementors glided in the hall waiting for the two Wizards to wake up.

Half an hour later Sirius half opened his eyes and saw Remus lying close by. Looking around he whimpered in frustration as he recognized their location. No! No! His mind screamed. He inched himself against the wall as he heard the door open and felt a cold no fire could warm. Remus stirred and opened his eyes in time to feel the cold of the Dementor as it glided towards him. They could not control the screams that tore from their throats as the Dementors began feeding on the two Wizards.

The Dementors were so engrossed on their feeding that they were completely unprepared for the surge of magic that traveled through the Prison. Minutes later, it was all over. Twelve Dementors had been brought down and the two Wizards were gone. The burning imprint of a stag on the cell wall was all that remained.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Dobby sat on the far left of the room watching Professor Lupin and Mr. Black. He had decided not to leave the two men unattended, as he knew that they were close to waking and they might try to get up or worse leave.

Dobby had been feeling terrible for the last couple of days he had taken an oath to serve the House of Potter and Snape and had caused his masters problems, something that was looked down upon by the other house elves in the Manor. Master Snape had forbidden him from going anywhere near Master Potter until he could prove his worth and this was his chance. All he had to do was nurse Mr. Black and Mr. Lupin and keep them away from Master Snape for the next two days.

"Dobby!" Came the shout from the bed; the little elf who had been lost in his thoughts quickly looked up. They were awake!

"Mr. Black! Mr. Black you are awake!" said Dobby happily running up to the bed.

"Are you a dream?" he asked rubbing his eyes.

"No! Dobby is real! You are safe Mr. Black!"

"Moony! Where's Moony!" he said sitting up and making his head spin.

"Professor Lupin is here sir." Dobby said pointing to the bed that lay beyond a set of heavy drapes.

"I don't see him." he said looking around.

"He's beyond the drapes, look!" said the little elf snapping his fingers and making the drapes slowly lift back. Sirius looked at his friend who lay on his side facing him and wondered if he looked as bad. He felt tired and achy but he was alive and so was Moony.

"Moony! Moony! Wake up!" he shouted at his friend. Moony stirred a little but did not open his eyes.

"Maybe you shouldn't Mr. Black." Dobby suggested twisting his hands worriedly.

"He'll be fine don't worry. MOONY WAKE UP!" He tried once more at the top of his voice and Moony finally shot up fully awake.

"WHATTA!" shouted Remus as he came to. He had been dreaming about Dementors and Azkaban and, and…. where the hell was he? He thought looking around. When his eyes fell on Sirius, it hit him. "It wasn't a dream."

"More like a nightmare, but no it was real!" he said regretting his earlier shouting. His head felt like it was splitting in two.

"How did we escape?" asked Remus sniffing the air.

"I don't know. Dobby should know." Sirius said pointing at Dobby who stood at the foot of the bed.

"Dobby!" said Remus and sniffed the air once more, "Bloody hell! Harry is here!"

"What! Dobby is that true?" asked Sirius

"Yes Mr. Black. You are in Master Snape's home. You can not leave this room it is charmed to keep all visitors inside so please do not try it. You would only hurt yourselves."

"Snape?" asked Remus trying to keep calm; it was difficult he could actually smell the boy.

"I serve the house of Snape and Potter both are my Masters now."

"Who did you take the oath with?" asked Remus. If Dobby took the oath with Harry the elf would only do what Harry told him to, he could only hope.

"With Master Snape." Dobby answered. Remus's stomach hit the ground. DAMN!

"Where's Harry?" he asked.

"He is with Master Snape." The elf answered smiling nervously. Dobby knew that Mr. Black hated Master Snape and hoped he wouldn't have to hex him. Both men looked at each other but said nothing. They knew they wouldn't get to see Harry if they did anything stupid. They had planned on a surprise attack so much for surprises.

"How did we get here? Last thing I remembered our souls were getting sucked out by Dementors?" Sirius asked shivering at the memory.

"I don't know Professor. Master Harry brought you here!"

"Harry! He's just a kid!" said Sirius in disbelief.

"Master Harry is a very powerful Wizard! Very Powerful!" Dobby said in awe.

Sirius and Remus frowned. Powerful! Well yes the boy was precocious with his magic but how much power was Dobby referring to.

"How powerful?" asked Sirius.

"Dobby can say no more." Dobby said shifting nervously.

"Why isn't he here?" asked Remus. Dobby was Snape's elf and they had to be careful or they would get nowhere.

"He's busy but he will see you in two days time."

"Why two days?"asked Sirius.

"He needs to rest. He was very tired after he brought you here."

"and Snape?"

"Master Snape is with him. Master Harry feels very bad when Master Snape is not there."

Both Wizards looked at each other knowingly the bond. Remus got out of bed and gingerly stood he walked around the bed holding on with one hand."Dobby what are your orders concerning us?" Remus asked might as well know what they were against.

"Dobby has to care for your injuries and keep you away from Master Snape for two days, he doesn't want to know you exist." The little elf informed them.

"Bastard! I HATE HIM! MERLIN HOW I HATE HIM! KEEPS US IN HERE, IS HE? WE'LL JUST SEE ABOUT THAT, WON'T WE? FUCKING SON OF A BITCH! I'LL KILL HIM!" Sirius ranted holding on to the bed as he too stood. Remus eyes shone a gold yellow and felt the wolf prowling about inside him. Remus had promised the wolf to kill Snape in the next full moon, it was only five days away and the wolf could not only smell Harry but Snape as well.

Dobby said nothing and moved away sensing Remus's wolf. He hoped he would not have to hex them. The little elf was torn between his affection for Harry Potter and the loyalty he owed to Master Snape. His task had seemed so easy when they were asleep. Now that they were up and about; how was he supposed to keep them controlled? Only one thing came to mind.

Two hours later both Wizards lay snoring loudly their meals half finished. Dobby carefully tucked them in like children and then took the left over food he had laced with a sleeping spell away. They would sleep until tomorrow afternoon, they needed their sleep anyway thought the elf guiltily as he sat to guard over them.

Both Wizards's slept until well into the next day. They did not hear Harry and Snape hexxing each other right outside their door the next morning.

cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc

Oh, my goodness I finally did it! I felt that I did not cover many things I should've in my last chapter so here it is. Next chapter coming soon!

Do you think i should let Harry and Snape bury the hatchet?
