Harry was so angry that he didn't even realize that he did underaged magic again, well until Auror Moody showed up
" Harry James Snape what do you think you're doing?" Moody asked
" Walking, what does it look like?" Harry snapped
" It looks like you're doing more than walking, with your wand in one hand and your trunk in the other" Moody said
" Ok fine, I'm going back to the Dursleys, even there is better than here" Harry said with a glare
" Now what's wrong with living with your father?" Moody asked
Harry hesitated, he didn't know if he actually wanted to tell the retired Auror, but then he dicided to because he knows Moody isn't real fawned of Professor Snape and he would be on his side " He wants to treat me like a bloody five year old, I'm not going to be treated as such, being ignored at the Dursleys is better than that"
" Treating you as a five year old? Whatever for?" Moody asked surprised
" Well, according to him, I was acting like one and I admit I kind of was... but that gives him no reason to treat me like a five year old" Harry said with a glare
" Maybe he's trying to teach you a lesson" Moody said
" He already taught me a lesson thank you very much, and I won't be able to sit for a week" Harry spat with a glare
Moody chuckled at that
" Not funny sir" Harry glared, " What are you doing here anyway?"
" Are you aware you did underaged magic?" Moody asked
" I did uncontrollable magic like I did my third year, plus how can they trace it? There are two others in the house who are magical"
" That's a good point but there is a system that lets us know when a student did underaged magic when they live with a magical family" Moody said
" Oh great, another stupid hearing, just like last year" Harry pouted, " All I did was accio and Mr. Snape wasn't even in the room to see it"
" Mr. Snape?" Moody asked
" Professor Snape's dad" Harry said
" Your grandfather then?" Moody asked
" No because Snape isn't my dad" Harry said stubbornly
Moody raised an eyebrow and looked at Harry's hair, " You sure about that?"
" Yes, I disown my biological father because I'd rather have a dead step father who loved me and even died for me then that git who conceived me and made my life for the past five years a living hell"
" So you'd rather go to your mothers sisters house again?" Moody asked
" Yes" Harry said
" The ones who locked you in a cupboard for ten years, the ones who neglected to feed you, the ones who ignored you and would let your cousin beat you up? Those Dursleys?" Moody asked
" They changed, Aunt Petunia changed and even got Uncle Vernon on that diet and he's doing community service, plus Aunt Petunia said I could come over at any time" Harry said
" Yes but the thing is that they did all those things knowing that you are family, Professor Snape did not and only did it for five years and it was mostly just bad grades on potions and detentions, he never took food away from you, never locked you up in a cupboard, never let anybody hurt you, in fact didn't he save you a few times during those five years?" Moody asked
Harry thought about it, first year, third year, Occlumency lessons during both their free time, and he went to see Sirius, he was found out as a spy because of him, and just today when he fell off his broom, " Yes a few times"
" Now did your relatives ever save you?" Moody asked
" Well the blood protection was there" Harry said
" Nobody knew where you lived, you were safe there without it" Moody growled
Harry sighed, " You're trying to tell me that going back to the Snapes' is the better choice right?"
" Now you're getting it" Moody said
" But I don't want to be treated like a five year old for a month" Harry protested, " I have to go to Diagon Alley soon and Professor Snape said I have to hold his hand when we go out, that is so embarrasssing and if I have to do that then my life in the Wizarding world will be over"
Moody sighed, " How about I talk to Severus about that holding hand thing, but since you acted like a five year old, I like his method, you being treated as a five year old, maybe it will teach you a lesson"
" Now you're on his side?" Harry gasped, " I thought you didn't like Snape?"
" I'm not fawned of Snape, but he does have good and interesting ideas" Moody said
" What about my hearing for underaged magic?" Harry asked
" There is no hearing, when I said us, I meant the Order, the ministry cannot tell" Moody said
Harry sighed
" Now come on" Moody said
" Fine" Harry said pouting
Moody helped Harry with his trunk by putting a lightening charm on it and then the two either walked or limped towards the Snape house
They got to the Snape house in five minutes and Harry really didn't want to be back so soon, he knew he was going to get another spanking for his outburst and his backside was still on fire from earlier
Moody saw that Harry wasn't moving so he gave him a little nudge with his staff
Harry sighed and opened the door
They both walked inside and met the three Snapes, all of their faces were blank
" Harry go upstairs" Severus said in a neutral tone
Harry glared at his father but did as he was told, this day totally sucked
" Mother, Father, can we talk in private?" Severus asked
" Of course Sev, come on Tobias" Eileen said
" Yah allright, Sev you really need to control that boy of yours" Tobias said
Severus sighed, " I know"
Severus's parents walked out of the living room and headed towards the kitchen
Severus didn't begin talking to Moody until he heard Harry shut his door, actually in this case he slammed the door
Severus sighed
" Severus are you really going to treat him like a child of five?" Moody asked
" Yes, he's acting like a five year old therefore he should be treated as one as well" Severus said
Moody nodded, " I understand that, but I do not like the idea of you holding his hand when you go out, I think that is what is scarying him, his words were and I quote, " I have to go to Diagon Alley soon and Professor Snape said I have to hold his hand when we go out, that is so embarrassing and if I have to do that then my life in the Wizarding world will be over"
" That is a bit dramatic don't you think Alastor? Severus asked
" I think that's a bit dramatic on your part Severus, holding his hand while going out? Don't you think that's a little much?" Moody asked
" Like I said he's been acting like a five year old" Severus said
" That's true, but hear me out, what if somebody he knows saw you holding his hand? That can really scar the boy for life and the child has too many of those, you really can embarrass him to the point where he will not like you any more and where he would rather go to the Dursley's" Moody said, " He really wanted to go back to the Dursleys but I talked him out of it"
" Ok fine, I will not hold his hand if we go out, but the other stuff stays" Severus said
" That's ok, he deserves that just not the holding the hand part" Moody said
Severus nodded, " How come you're here anyway?"
" He did underaged magic with the summoning spell, I was at headquarters so I went to investigate... how come you didn't go after him?" Moody asked
" I was letting him blow off some steam, and I was doing the same" Severus said
" What if a Death Eater came while you two were... blowing off steam?" Moody asked
" There is a ward from this house to five houses down both ways, that is where Sara Dadley and Mary Dadley live, Sara is going to be a fifth year at Hogwarts this year, she's a new student" Severus explained, " She and Harry are really good friends"
" Are you sure they aren't death eaters using Polyjuice potion?" Moody asked, he still didn't like how he was imprisoned about two years ago by Barty Crouch Jr. and how Jr was using his hair for polyjuice potion
" I assure you, they are not death eaters, I used veritaserum on Mary" Severus said
" That's good" Moody said, " But you still cannot be too careful"
" I know" Severus said, " Well thank you for bringing by son back but now I must deal with him"
" Don't go too hard on him Severus, his... backside is still on fire" Moody said with a smirk
" I'm sure it is" Severus said and then sighed, " Parenting is hard"
" One of the reasons why I never married" Moody said, " Well good day to you Severus"
" Good day Alastor" Severus said
After bidding Severus's parents good day Moody left the house
Severus sighed and looked up at the ceiling then headed towards the steps and to Harry's room and knocked. Severus didn't get an answer and he knew he wouldn't so he walked in and saw that the room was empty, but the trunk was still there
" HARRY" Severus called
Severus didn't get an answer
Severus sighed and did a point me spell and his wand indicated that Harry was in his closet
Severus lifted an eyebrow and walked over to the closet and opened it up and saw Harry scrunched up into a little ball
" What in the world are you doing in your closet?" Severus asked
" What's it look like I'm doing? I'm sitting" Harry snapped
" Watch your cheek Harry" Severus warned
Harry glared at his dad and then looked away
" Seriously what are you doing in your closet?" Severus asked again
" Fine you want an answer?" Harry asked
" That's why I asked a question" Severus said
Harry glared at his dad, " Fine... you want to treat me as a fucking five year old then we're going to do it right, when I was five I was locked in a cupboard, since I'm being treated as a five year old I'm staying in the closet, because it's the closest to a cupboard as it's going to get, now leave me alone"
