Once again Harry began to open his eyes and found himself in a light brown brick room with a lot of sun light, for some reason the light was making him both stronger slightly weaker, not to mention giving him one heck of a headache.
"Ah so you finally decided to wake up?"
Harry jumped upwards and saw that it was Draco who looked slightly tired and his eyes were slightly swollen.
"Draco have you been crying?"
"No I haven't, I just haven't been getting any sleep last night, you couldn't see me because it was slightly dark when you woke up and only the candles were on" Draco explained as he saw Harry awoke.
"Oh, ok then, anyway what happened to me?"
"What was the last thing you remember?"
Harry thought for a moment "I remember walking up to the glass where the water was, you then pulled me away from there" Harry looked distant as if he was trying to remember something "and that's it, although judging from where I am I'm guessing that I passed out?"
Draco nodded "you leant against me panting then was out like a light"
"Ah, I see that my patient is awake, you had your friend here quite a scare" called a voice.
Harry once again screamed and fell off the bed landing on his back which was now starting to bruise.
"What is your problem? Never seen a woman before?" the lady was trying to make a joke as she and Draco began to help Harry off the floor and back onto the bed.
Even though she was a nurse Harry was still uncomfortable with her around him so somewhat stayed near Draco after she moved away to do something, luckily she noticed when she came back to him, unfortunately it was this time that his Head of House decided to drop by.
"How exactly did you end up in here and on the second day?" snapped Professor Snape.
Harry had to bite the whimper that was trying to escape his throat, the colours were back on Snape but this time it wasn't as bad as last time "you're glowing again" he mumbled, thankfully Snape never heard it only Draco.
"Well then Mr Potter I am waiting for an explanation" of course Snape was impatient as always.
Harry whimpered and Snape unfortunately heard it, he sighed slowly and talked to Pomfry "would you mind if I talk to him and Mr Malfoy alone?"
"Sure, he just needs some more rest then I'll let him leave" she left them and went into her office.
"I apologize, Mr Potter if I made you scared, but I am afraid that I will have to do it more often" Snape said after Pomfry disappeared and decided to cut right to the chase.
Draco then casted a silencing charm (his Uncle taught him when he was 10) around the three of them before continuing "as you know Professor Snape is my Uncle, but we need to keep it a secret because the Headmaster doesn't want any teacher to be related to the students, especially the Slytherins"
"I know you told me that, and I promise you Professor that I am not one to tell secrets, your secret is safe with me" Harry promised them both.
"I appreciate hearing you say that instead of my Godsons word for it" his eyes wandered towards Draco who was looking away embarrassed.
"Is there something you need Professor?" he was a little worried because he never heard of a teacher going into an infirmary just because a student was ill.
"I just needed to see if you have been eating well, from what the nurse told me she says that you haven't been feeding yourself properly, that and the fact that you have been unconscious for two days, but the only answer I can come up with is that you weren't treated well in your house" Harry went stiff as a board and tried his best not to look his teacher in the eye "I'm not sure if you already know it but as the Head of Slytherin House I am allowed to counsel all of my students if they are in need of talking to someone, if however they are not comfortable with me or any other teacher then the Headmaster would give the student permission to talk to someone outside of the school"
Harry just shook his head "I assure you sir that I didn't eat anything on the last few days before I came here because I was too excited to sleep, I had been reading all the books more than once and not once did my stomach complain" in a way he was telling the truth, he had read the books more than once but it was mostly Herbology and Potions because he felt that he would do better in them.
Snape raised an eyebrow at the boy's statement, but knew not to push it "very well then Mr Potter, but I would appreciate it if you don't do anything that would over work yourself"
"I was just about to say that sir" said a voice behind them.
Draco face palmed, it was obvious that his silence spell had worn off, even though he had practiced it, it always seemed to break before he could do anything, Snape narrowed his eyes at his godson, promising him that there would be a lecture after this.
Harry's eyes widened when he remembered something that Snape said "wait sir did you just say that I have been unconscious for two days?"
Draco looked down in shame "that is also the reason why my eyes are so red, I haven't slept since I brought you here, I was worried even though it's foolish of me" he giggled.
Harry sighed and rubbed his eyes with both of his hands "I strongly suggest Draco that you get your butt into the dorms and get some sleep, also could you feed my pet please, I don't know if she has already"
Draco eyes widened "oh scallops" he muttered then ran out of the infirmary to go feed Harry's pet.
As Snape watched Draco go, he asked Harry something that had been bothering him for a while "may I ask as what pet you have brought into the school?"
"How about you wait for the boy to leave before you ask him any questions" interrupted Madam Pomfry "and as for you Mr Potter I hope that I don't keep seeing you in the hospital wing again" Harry looked her weirdly.
"Could you also wait outside for a moment Mr Potter, I need to talk to you about a certain accident" Snape informed Harry before he left the room.
As Snape watched him go he remembered what Pomfry said, quickly turning to face her he said "he is not like his dad Poppy, I suggest you remember that, from the way he behaves it looks like he isn't one to break rules" he quickly turned away before she could say anything and headed to his dungeons with Harry behind him.
Harry began to wonder if it was a mistake to have come to Hogwarts, first of all was the fact that the Head master was trying to make him get into another house, second was the fact that his Head of House had a tendency to go angry to nice whenever he was near him, and thirdly people would suspect he was evil just because he had a pet snake. He followed Professor Snape to his potions room where he was somewhat forced inside, sat down near Professor Snape's desk with the teacher himself sitting behind said desk.
"I once again apologize for this Mr Potter, but I must try and keep a somewhat hatred to you during your years in school, people already know that I once hated your dad, I admit that I was somewhat hoping for you to look like your dad to make this easier for me but after seeing you look more like your mum I knew that I wouldn't be able to act like it permanently, but let me assure you that from now on I will try to keep a somewhat good hatred emotion toward you like I usually do with my other students, but it will most likely be hatred" Snape quickly explained.
"I understand sir, and I think I already know as to why you brought me here"
Snape nodded "yes I wanted to ask you what possessed you to be stupid and back-chat the headmaster when he requested you to be resorted?"
"I was only telling him the truth, and when he still kept referring to me as his boy it blew the last bit of patients I had with him, I only asked him politely once not to call me his boy, but what happens? He still did it in front of the school and I only advised him not to call me that because what I said was true, some students would get the wrong idea and would accuse me and him in being a relationship" what he said was true but he didn't know was what Severus was going to tell him.
"Harry, the Wizarding world believes that Dumbledore was the one to tell you that you were a wizard and helped you get your supplies during the break, he is also in claimed to be your Magical guardian until you turn 17" Snape explained softly but firm.
"Then I'll just have to change that won't I?" that was mostly to himself but stood up from his chair "if you makes you feel any better sir I will try to tone down the stuff to the Headmaster, but I can't make any promise to stop completely"
"I am only suggesting that you try to be careful with what you say to him, that's all"
"I promise sir, but I still think it's best to let people know that I don't look up to him at all, I see him as a teacher, that's all" he politely nodded his to Snape "good day Professor" and quickly left the room.
