Summary: Harry has not talked since his real uncle died and that was when he was 9 years old. His aunt remarried a year later and that's when his torture began. He entered Hogwarts (which has no houses in my story) and didn't talk to anyone. But all that changed when he learnt that he was…

This story has no four houses and each student gets a room of his or her own.

Chapter 4

Harry was currently in the living room of his home. His aunt and cousin across from him, he was looking at the photo he had taken of his real uncle when he was six. His real uncle had been so proud of him, he put the photo back in its place and picked up a book he had been reading. To deep in thought and not really reading his book Harry didn't hear when his aunt called to him.

"Harry!"

Harry snapped his head up and looked at Dudley questioningly.

"Sorry mum called your name like five times. Come on we are going to the store," Dudley said softly. Harry stood and nodded.

Vincent was walking in the shadows towards his house where he would find what 'belonged' to him. He heard the front door open and watch as the 'precious' boy walked out of the house with Petunia and Dudley Dursley. 'They probably will go to the store, this is easier than what I thought' Vincent thought.

Harry was waiting by the window for his aunt to pay for the things she had bought. Dudley had gone to the restroom, so Harry was left standing alone. Harry suddenly felt uneasy as he felt a familiar presence near. Harry began to walk towards his aunt when a hand stopped him. He jumped and turned to look at whom it was and his eyes filled with relief when he saw it was Severus Snape.

"Is something the matter Mr. Potter?" Severus asked.

'He's here' Harry said with his hands.

"I'm here to protect you and your family so don't worry just stay close by. Jasmine will be coming to your house to stay, since she is a very powerful witch like your father it will be safer if she stayed there" Severus said in a low tone so only Harry could hear. Harry nodded and both waited by the window for both Harry's relatives.

Jasmine was Harry's aunt from his dad's side of the famiy. She was very powerful and was always looking after Harry when she was able to. She wasn't allow to visit him when Petunia had remarried and Harry knew the reason behind it. Even though no one used to know Harry had always hope that it had been Jasmine Potter who found out what his 'uncle' did to him.

Vincent watched as a tall man went up to 'his' boy when he began to walk towards him. He was furious no one should go near 'his' boy at all. He stopped noticing that the man was no ordinary man but the one that had discovered him. The one that had taken the boy away from his pleasures. Vincent angrily turned and left in the shadows to wait for the perfect moment to get what he wanted. He would get 'his' boy back.

Break Line

Harry sat once again in the living room of his home. It had been a month since Jasmine had come to stay at their home. She was currently sitting across from him reading a book while Dudley watch TV in the other room and Petunia was cooking. Harry had felt happy because Jasmine was there, he felt safe but not as safe as he had felt when that man, Severus Snape, was near. He felt even safer when the man was near. Harry sighed and looked at the photo of his real uncle smiling.

"Harry, dear is something wrong?" Jasmine asked looking at Harry with worry. Harry shook his head negatively. Jasmine smiled, nodded, and went back to reading.

Severus was ready to go pick up Harry that day; it had been a month since he had seen his beloved and he hoped to see him smile once again and fast. He had done everything that had to be done for the summer. Harry was going to stay at Snape Manor this summer and he had cleaned a room himself. Of course near his so he could keep a close eye on the young man. He looked at the ring on his finger and just hoped that Lily and James had done right in doing what they had done. It had scared him to even think about…

"Severus it is time to go" Albus' soft voice said cutting through his thoughts.

"I'm ready" Severus said. Albus nodded and both floo'd to the house in front of Harry's'.

"Albus is that you?" The same voice of an old lady came.

"Yes its me, we came to pick Harry up. Thanks for letting us come through here" Albus said.

"Its no problem, anything to help keep that young man safe" the old lady said. Albus nodded and bowed his head slightly towards the old lady before leaving with Severus to Harry's house. Once there, Severus knocked and both wizards waited for the door to open.

"Severus, Albus you're here. Please enter, I'll call Harry, he's in the living room" Jasmine said smiling. Severus didn't wait and just entered the living room. The sight that he saw made his smile slightly. His smile didn't go unnoticed by the other two and both knew that Lily and James had done the right thing.

"Mr. Potter" Severus said softly. Harry looked up at the familiar voice and sighed in relief. He had wanted for this month to end even if he wished to stay with his aunts and cousin he had wished the man in front of him to visit at least.

"Harry, you are staying with Severus for the rest of the summer," Albus said softly. Harry looked at the old man and nodded. Petunia entered at that moment and seeing Albus and Severus she smiled.

"Well Harry why don't you go with Dudley to get your things ready to leave. We'll see you next summer like always," Petunia said. Harry nodded and both him and Dudley went upstairs. Severus never taking his eyes off Harry, he would do anything to have Harry talk once again. Even if it meant to stop spying for Albus.

Not long after the three wizards were going towards the living room fireplace to floo away. Everything seemed so quiet at the place Harry had arrive, he stepped out of the fireplace with Severus and Albus behind him. The living room was filled with black furniture giving it a mysterious look. He looked towards Severus and waited for the man to speak.

"You'll be staying in a room next to mine, I'll show you the house tomorrow so you know how to get around here. This is for you, if you need something blow it and Dobby my most trustworthy elf will come to help you" Severus said calmly.

'Thank you' Harry said with his hands. Severus nodded and he began to walk towards the door.

"I'll be leaving then, have a good day my children" Albus said smiling. Severus and Harry nodded and the old wizard floo'd away.

The summer had gone by faster then what he had wanted it to. Harry was walking towards Minerva McGonagalls' office to get his schedule for this year. He had passed all his classes so he predicted it would be the same as last year except that it would be a year more. Harry sighed and kept walking to the office, once there he knocked on the door and waited. The door opened by itself and Harry entered, he looked at the witch behind the desk.

"Mr. Potter this is your schedule. Congratulations for passing all your classes with Exciting marks" Minerva said smiling. Harry nodded and once handed his schedule he left without a word. To deep in thought he didn't notice the people walking opposite his direction. When he did it was a little too late, he jumped backwards once again not apologizing.

"Are you okay?" A familiar girl's voice asked with concern. Harry looked at the person he had run into and noticed it was Ron, Hermione, and Draco. The ones that had been trying to be his friends since the first year in this school. Harry looked away and began to walk away once again. Once he was in his room he sighed in relief and looked at his schedule he had Professor Snape every day.

"Times up" Severus said. The holidays were near and they were currently taking their final exam in Severus' class. They had to make a hard potion and Severus knew that out of all his students in fourth year probably only four people would get it right. He watched as Harry bottled his potion and began to clean up. He watched as all the students began to walk up to his desk to put the potion on his desk. He knew Harry would be last he always was, cleaning before turning in his work. As the last three students that were Draco, Hermione, and Ron walked to their desk Harry grabbed his potion and walked up to the desk and put the potion in the middle of Severus desk as always.

The bell rang for the end of the class and everyone cleared out. Severus watched as Harry took his time putting his things away, not in a hurry. Once Harry was done he nodded curtly towards Severus and left without a word. Severus nodded back even though Harry didn't see it. For the past three and a half months Harry was the last to leave his class nodded towards him and leave without a word.

'I'm going crazy here' Severus thought as his class began to refill with older students.

Holidays came and went same as the year before, but Harry didn't mind, as he would see his aunts and cousin. He would go back to Snape Manor and he would come back to the school. He was worried though because he didn't want Vincent to do something to his family or him. He was scared even if he showed no emotion to the others. As he went on the train he looked out the window. Same as the previous years Ron and Hermione came into his compartment, followed by Draco Malfoy.

"Hello Harry" Draco said. Harry looked at him and went back to look out the window. He was not allow to have friends, his 'uncle' had forbidden him. If he made any friends that crazy man would hurt them. The train came to a stop and Harry stepped down and was greeted by his two aunts and cousin.

"Dear was everything alright?" Petunia and Jasmine asked at the same time. Harry nodded with a smile; it had been a long time since his two aunts asked the same question at the same time.
