Chapter 12: The Black Dog
Harry was heading for the Library when Theo, Wong, and Pansy caught up with him. Besides Malfoy he had no other friends. True the other exchange students were nice but the four of them were close.
"So what are you doing today?" Wong asked.
"Hopefully finding peace and quiet that doesn't include Weasley and Granger," Harry told him.
"That's going to be hard," Pansy told him, "Because guess who I see."
Harry groaned when he saw Weasley and Granger blocking the way.
"Oh hello boys," Granger taunted.
"Um, hello, I'm a girl," Pansy said.
"Not in my book," Granger told her.
"And have you forgotten that there is a new rule about bullying," Harry told her, "Or are you upset that I got a better score in Charms than you did."
His friends snickered and then Harry noticed a black dog looking at him.
"Hello, boy," Harry said, bending down and extending his hand.
"Hay, get away from it," Weasley said, "He should be mine, not some stinking Slytherin."
"I'm being nice to him," Harry told him, "You would just give him sweets and make him fat."
"At least he would come home to a real family," Weasley said, "All he would do is watch as you get your special loving from your Uncle."
"That's rude and totally gross," Pansy said.
"Yeah, Weasley, can you get even more perverted," Wong said, "Come on, lets take the big guy. I've got some food that my mum sent me."
"Want to come with us," Harry asked.
The dog looked at him but then followed Harry and his friends.
When they got back to the Slytherin common room Harry could tell that the dog looked uncomfortable being there.
"Don't worry, I don't bite," Harry told him, "And I'll make sure that you get some food and you can sleep on my bed."
"Have you ever had a dog, Harry," Theo asked him.
"No, but I know what it's like to be treated like a dog," Harry told him.
"Okay, enough with the really sick memory flashbacks," Theo said, "Something really has to be done about your perverted Uncle Vernon."
"Yeah, why don't we send him a potion that gives him some disease," Pansy suggested.
"Or infects their home with magic," Theo suggested and they all laughed.
"Or how about makes him rape his own son like he raped me," Harry suggested.
"Sick memory flashback not needed," Theo said.
"I wonder if Snape will chop off his thing and make him eat it," Pansy wondered.
"Oh that gives me an idea," Harry said and he pulled out a black vile.
"And what is that, Harry, "Pansy asked.
"A potion that my dad told me about," Harry said, "It makes a person not be able to get their wife pregnant."
"Harry, did you nick that off your dad," Theo asked.
"No, I brewed it," Harry answered.
"Wicked, you're just as good as your dad."
"No, I'm just as good as my mum," Harry corrected.
"Lily Potter would be so proud of you, Harry," Wong told him.
"Thanks," Harry said and then he set to work.
Later on Harry told his new dog friend what happened to him. "Uncle Vernon really doesn't like magic, Snuffles, he really hurts me badly and dad said that I don't ever have to go back and be my Uncle's sex slave. But Dumbledore, I sense, wants me to go back. He doesn't care anything about me, only dad does.'
Snuffles whimpered and then Harry crawled into bed.
"Thanks for listening," Harry told him and he went to sleep.

The dog that Harry had befriended took the vial and trotted up to the owlery. In a flash it changed into a man. Sirius Black hated the fact that his godson was in Slytherin but the black vial did look pretty wicked looking and the idea that Harry had brewed it made him proud. He put the thing in a package and sent it off to the Dursley's. He would protect Harry with his life because that's what James would have done for him. He would also kill Vernon for what he had done to his godson and find out who this person was that Harry claimed was his father.

"Snuffles, where are you," Harry called out.
A bark told him where his new pet was and when he appeared Harry breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come on, I want to take you out so that you can run around," Harry told him.
The dog barked happily and bounded after Harry.
Harry had the time of his life, throwing a stick at Snuffles and letting him catch it. He had never had a dog in his life and nothing could ruin his happiness, nothing. Theo and Wong were setting under a tree, watching what was going on. Harry was glad that he had friends that were watching his back.
"Hay," Draco called out and Harry noticed that the dog was narrowing his eyes.
"Don't, Snuffles," Harry told him, "Draco is my friend."
The dog looked at him and Harry swore that he looked confused.
"Protective," Draco said, "I only came over here to warn you of two things. One: Weasley and his gang of idiots are coming and two: Your dad wants to see you. A letter arrived from your abusive home."
"Oh great," Harry snapped, "Come along, Snuffles, you get to meet my dad."
"Go down the east part of the castle, their coming from the other side," Draco advised.
"Thanks," Harry said and he and the dog went down the east side of the castle.
When Harry knocked on the door his father said 'enter' and Harry opened the door. Snuffles followed behind and at once started to growl. Harry couldn't believe that his dog hated his father.
"Stop it," Harry scolded, "He's not going to kill me."
Snuffles growled again and Snape said, "If you can't control the mutt he'll have to go."
That stopped the dog at once, which was really strange.
"So what did you want to see me for, dad," Harry asked.
"I got a letter from your home," Snape told him, "Apparently Dumbledore has been talking to your Uncle about being nice."
Snape shuttered and then went on. "I'm working on getting your Uncle sent to Azkaban for raping you. Of course we all know that Dumbledore is going to use that blood ward crap to get you to go home. Personally Dumbledore should be locked away in Azkaban for even suggesting that you should go back. I swear that man really burns me up."
"Can I read it," Harry asked.
"I don't know why," Snape said, "its sugar coated for human digestion because he knows that you won't be able to stomach a command."
"I just want to read it," Harry told him.
Snape sighed and said, "Fine, but I'm still getting him sent to Azkaban."
Harry nodded and Snape handed him the letter.
Dear Harry,
Dumbledore has told me that you reported what I did. I don't know why you're telling such lies about me but I would never put my hands on you. We need to do something fun, together, and I hope that you reply back soon.
You're loving Uncle,
Vernon
"Harry, I hope that you don't believe him," Snape said.
"Of course I don't," Harry answered, "I had such fun, with you, before the whole pranking thing that turns me into a monster."
"Harry, you're not a monster," Snape said to him, "Just because your different doesn't make you a monster."
Harry nodded and then asked, "What do I have to do to get Uncle Vernon sent to Azkaban?"
"You need to promise that you will testify against him," Snape said, "I'll get hold of Kingsley and tell him that you wish to have Vernon arrested. After that a hearing will be set up where you'll have to come, on that date, and tell them what you remember him doing to you. He'll be given a truth potion where he'll be force to confess. After that Madam Bones will ask them to decide if Vernon is guilty and if they find him guilty, who I have no doubt that they will, then they'll decide how many decades he'll be serving in Azkaban."
Harry nodded and then Snape said, "Want to go to Hogsmead and have some fun?"
"Sure," Harry said.
"We can take your pet with us," Snape told him, waving his wand and making his cloak appear. "Come on; time to get your mind away from this."

The dog changed into a man and Sirius sighed. He hated Snivellus but the man seemed worried about his godson. Rape, he couldn't believe that his godson was being raped, and Dumbledore wanted him to go back there.
"Be strong, Harry," Sirius said, "I may not like the git but I feel that he's doing his best to protect you."
Deep down he hoped that Snape and Harry won.

Note: That chapter took me awhile to write. Next Up: A short chapter that just as Harry talking to Mrs. Wong.
