Chapter 21: Snow Falls
The exams ended and soon everyone was talking about what they planned on doing during the summer. Harry knew that his plans included the Dursley's and he slowly got ready for another horrible summer of having to put up with Dudley and whatever dumb thing him and his stupid Aunt and Uncle had planned. He hoped that it didn't include another visit from Aunt Marge.
"To bad Sirius Black wasn't caught," Seamus said.
"I know; I was sort of hoping that he was then I wouldn't have to worry so much about the summer."
"Well I'm sure that he'll get caught soon," Seamus said, "I mean, how lucky can one person be?"
Harry didn't have an answer to that.
Snape, himself, was packing his bags for the trip to Prince Manor. It had been a long term and he just wanted to stay as far away from Hogwarts as possible and forget this even happened. He then placed his bags near the entrance to his quarters and summoned a house elf. The tiny creature appeared with a crack and bowed to Snape.
"Take these to Prince Manor when the feast is over," Snape told it.
"Yes Master Severus," the elf said and then vanished.
Snape then grabbed the piece of parchment that gave him rights to Harry and headed to inform him that he wouldn't be returning to the Dursley's. However that's when he noticed something odd. At first he thought that it was his imagination but then one of the flakes touched his hand. This brought tears to his eyes and then a sudden hope filled him and he ran for the hospital wing. When he arrived he saw Madam Pomfrey helping Snowdrop with some broth.
"Y-Y-Your awake," he said, stunned.
"Well of course she is," Madam Pomfrey said, "Why else would I be giving the poor dear some broth."
Snape couldn't believe it and soon Remus had appeared.
"I saw it and thought that she was awake," Remus said.
"Well she is and I want both of you to leave," Madam Pomfrey told them.
"Like hell you will," Snape told her, "I have every right to see her and if you don't like it take it up with the Headmistress."
Madam Pomfrey went red.
"Nurse, it's alright," Snowdrop said.
"But-."
"I'll be fine," she said and the Matron had no choice but to leave.
"Are you alright?" Snape asked her.
"I'm fine now that both of you are here," she said, "What happened?"
"Don't you know?" Remus asked and Snowdrop shook her head.
"Well I think that we need to find out," Snape said, "And I swear when I find out who did it I'll make sure that they know why I was once a feared Death Eater."
Remus patted Snape on the shoulder.
"Will you be alright this summer?" Remus asked her.
"Madam Pomfrey said that I would be fine," Snowdrop told him, "But I want to visit my foster parents, first, and then spend the rest of the summer at Prince Manor."
"If that's what you want," Snape told her, "And I'll be home when you get there."
"Thanks," Snowdrop said.
"What about Harry?" Remus asked and that reminded Snape that he still had something to give to Harry.
"I'll be back," Snape said and hurried off.
Snape really hated the idea of entering Gryffindor Tower but as one of the four Heads of House he had the password to all houses and so he could enter if need be. When he entered the Gryffindor Common Room everyone turned and stared at him.
"Is Potter here?" Snape asked.
"In his dorm, Snape," Ginny said and that earned a glare from the Professor.
"I would advise that you call me Professor next time," Snape told her.
And before Ginny could say anything he headed up to the third year boys dorm.
He found Harry reading a book when he stepped in. Harry looked up to see who had entered and Snape knew that the boy was shocked that he was here. At once he told Harry that Snowdrop had woken up and he saw Harry smile.
"I also have something for you from the Ministry," Snape added, handing it over.
Harry opened it and read it. He then stared at Snape.
"But the blood wards-."
"Work as long as you have a relative that is blood related to you and you live with them," Snape said, "Since Snowdrop is blood related to you then you can live in Prince Manor and it will protect you just as easily as if you went to the blasted Dursley's."
"So I don't have to live with them," Harry said.
"If you don't want to," Snape said.
The look on Harry's face told Snape that he didn't.
A/N: Now Harry knows that he doesn't have to live with the Dursley's, yay. Next up: A Natural at Everything
