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 6 - Year 5 (Part 2)
"Inside the book is a code that the three have to figure out so you can continue the second task. You are all excused" Albus Dumbledore said. Severus watched as Harry left with his family, he wanted to go join them. To join his…
"Severus, I need more potions for the infirmary" Poppy's voice came interrupting his train of thought.
"Just send me the list of the potions you need and I'll work on them" Severus said to the med-witch. Once she nodded he left for his rooms to be alone, like the past 15 years have passed since James and Lily died.

Harry entered his room with his cousin and two aunts. He hadn't been able to spend time with them because of his classes and homework. They had said it was fine that they would just go outside and look around so he could work in peace. Now he didn't have any homework. "Honey this is a well decorated room, did you do it?" Petunia said once everyone was sitting.
"It's like this, the student is allowed to change things, but I see Harry doesn't wish to do that" Jasmine said. Harry just nodded and Petunia just gave an 'oh' as a reply.
"GE, I didn't know that you had a lot of books" Dudley said as he looked at a shelf near a black door. Harry didn't say anything and just stared at it, he smiled at his cousin shyly making the other three laugh.
"You don't have to be embarrassed or shy about it. I remember being like you, I had books every where" Jasmine said.
"I used to save my sister's books. That way every time she left the house for school I was able to have something of her to remember. When she turned 17 she was happy, then James came to our house to ask for my sister's hand in marriage. I was glad and sad at the news" Petunia said.
"Why sad?" Dudley asked.
"Sad because it meant that she would leave soon and happy because I knew James was perfect for her" Petunia responded. Harry smiled at her once again. The rest of the time before lunch started Petunia told Harry and the others about the things Lily and her did during the break.

Severus was working on the potions Poppy had asked him for the past five hours. He had missed lunch but he didn't care, he had to finish the potions. As he bottled the last potion a knock on his door was heard. "Come in" he said carelessly as he put the last bottle away.
"I found you." Severus turned at Jasmine's voice and looked at her for a moment.
"Please sit and tell me, what's your business here?" Severus said knowing the witch wouldn't take it offensively.
"I see you haven't change" Jasmine said with a smile.
"Why would I?" Severus questioned his friend of many years.
"I know that Harry is your…" Jasmine was interrupted by another knock on the door.
"Not a word of what you were about to say to anyone" Severus said to Jasmine before opening the door. "Albus."
"Severus I must talk to you about the next task" Albus said.
"I'll go to your office once I'm done here" Severus said. Albus nodded and left knowing that Severus needed to do what ever he was going to do alone. Once Severus closed the door he turned to Jasmine.

Night has fallen and Harry is currently lying on his bed. He didn't want to close his eyes, he wasn't tired. He wanted to know why Professor Severus Snape seemed to always be observing him. It was as if the man wanted to tell him something but couldn't, and that was keeping him up. He closed his eyes and before he knew it he had fallen asleep peacefully.
Break Line
The following morning Harry woke up, got ready, and went to eat breakfast with his aunts and cousin. Once they were sitting he noticed that students of his school surrounded all the competitors from the other schools. The only ones that weren't surrounding them were the Wesley's, the Malfoy boy, and the Granger girl. He ate in silence as always as his aunts talked to each other and Dudley talked to a girl that had walked up to him. As he was finishing he saw two people going up to him.
"Hi, Harry as you know we have to figure out the code inside the books together. Would you like to start now or later?" Draco Malfoy asked. Harry looked around for a moment when he spotted what he was looking for he summon them and wave his hand.
"Now if it's okay."
"Of course, we'll wait for you near the lake" Draco Malfoy said. Harry nodded and the other two left.
"Harry, you do know you don't have to worry about Vincent right?" Jasmine said looking at her nephew. Harry nodded and stood up, he nodded at his two aunts and left to the lake to help his two partners with the code that he was sure would be an easy one.
Break Line
Albus sat in his office with a smile on his face. He knew that no matter how Severus tried to hide it. It would be news in the near future. He had to send Harry to Snape Manor this summer like he did when the boy was in his fourth year. "He will find out Severus and you will be the one that tells him" the old wizard said in a soft low tone.
Break Line
Harry found Hermione and Draco at the lake like the blond had said. He walked up to them in silence. "Hi Harry, glad you came" Hermione said smiling at the boy. Harry just nodded but didn't smile back.
"What we have so far is this here, you can read it" Draco said giving Harry one of the three books. Harry grabbed it and read the page Draco had shown him.
Is inside you and you might not want to know about it. It's connected to you but you might not want to know what or who it is. You need to know what's the mystery that is hided behind that you can see.
Harry looked thoughtful for a moment before asking for the other parts to the blond with his hands. Draco gave him Hermione's book and the girl showed him the page where she found out the small clue.
You might be wondering what I am. You will find out when it's less predictable. You might want to know if it's real. So, I'll tell you just have faith because it will happen. You might want to see it, but it doesn't work like that.
'Where's mine?' Harry asked with his hands. Draco took out the last notebook and gave it to Harry who opened it at the middle. He began to read the paragraph there, it was as follows.
Once you thought it wouldn't work, but now you know it's different. I have found something that you want and the only way to have it is by finding me. You know where I am. You know who I am. You know what it is that you want; now it's your turn to find me once again.
Harry smiled suddenly surprising the other two. He motioned them to go near him and pointed at his paragraph. "You want to put them together?' Hermione asked. Harry nodded.
"But it won't make sense" Draco said.
'We have to find a way it will make sense.' Harry said with his hands. Draco nodded and told Hermione what Harry had said. She might be smart but only few knew how to talk with their hands fluently and understood longer sentences. Once Hermione nodded the three began to work on the passages. They put it on a different parchment and began to put them in different orders.

Severus watch from his window as Harry, Hermione, and Draco work. He smiled something no one saw. He kept watching them for three hours until he saw Ronald go up to them. He watched as the three tried to get Harry to go with them but he just shook his head and headed back to the castle. Perhaps to go with his family. After the four said their good byes, Severus made sure Harry entered the castle safely. Once he was sure he took out a book and began to read.
Break Line
It was dinnertime when Albus decided to announce when the next task was. Everyone was eating when he stood up, and call for order. Once he had everyone's attention he cleared his throat. "The next task will be in November, and after the holiday break the third task will be taking place. I just want all participates to know that they had only one month. Now go get some rest, for tomorrow most of the students will have classes" the old wizard said his eyes landing on Harry.
"Albus are you sure it will be wise. What about the Yule Ball?" Minerva said when the students began to walk out of the Great Hall.
"It will take place on December 20, and the students will have plenty of time to practice. I know they will learn fast" Albus said to the witch with a smile as the last student part from the Great Hall. With a wave of his hand all the tables were clear and clean. "Good night everyone" Albus said to the members of the staff.
"Good night" the rest said and all left to their rooms.
Break Line
Time went by fast for Harry, November was in two days and in two days he would have the next task along with the other two. He had spent a lot of time with them, but he still didn't felt safe to be their friend. He kept pushing them away and still show no interest in wanting to be with them. He kept his distance and made them think that he was only with them because of the tasks they had to complete. 'I'm sorry but if I don't do it. I'm afraid he will come back and hurt you guys. I'm afraid he'll hurt those that I get near to.'
"Mr. Potter is something the matter?" Harry looked up at Severus. He was currently in his Advance Potion class. Harry shook his head, Severus didn't look convince but let it go and Harry was grateful for that. "Well we are almost done here. This is your last project before your final exam. I hope you pass with exiting marks as always" Severus said.
'Of course Professor' Harry said with his hands.
"Good to know, you are dismiss. Rest well that you have a busy day ahead of you" Severus said. Harry nodded his thanks and left after cleaning his area. He went to his rooms, took a shower, and went to sleep after saying his good nights to his aunts and cousin.
Break Line
Severus stood in the great hall along with the rest of the school. The second task was that day and he didn't know what would happen, he knew Harry would do great but he didn't know if the young wizard along with the other two had figure out the code. To Severus it seemed more like a riddle.
"Dear Students, today is the second task and in order for all participates to continue they must tell us the code in private. First Ms. Delacour's team" Albus said. Fleur stepped forward and gave a piece of parchment where her group's answer was written down to Albus; who unfolded it and read it in silence. He nodded his approval. "Mr. Krum" the old wizard said. Viktor did the same as Fleur and waited there. Albus once again nodded his approval. "Mr. Malfoy" Albus said lastly. Draco stepped forward. He read the answered and his eyes widen in surprise.
Severus didn't know what to think, he didn't know if it was a good sign or a bad sign. "Headmaster Dumbledore is something the matter?" Severus heard Draco asked.
"Who wrote the answer down?" Albus asked and Severus only got more nervous even though he didn't show it.
"Harry, but we all three contribute it to the answer. Why, sir?" Draco asked.
"You three got the exact answer" Albus said giving the small parchment to the other headmaster and the headmistress whose eyes widen as well. "Severus please read the note," Albus said to the black-hair wizard. Severus stepped forward as the Headmistress handed him the note.
"'The one thing I want and I need to find is the one thing that will never be with me. The one thing that I want to see but I can't and won't be able to is the one thing that you hide from me. That one thing is the love that you have not wanted to give me. The love that only Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor knew about. A love that no one, not even their worst enemy could destroy. The one thing I want and I need to find is the one thing that will never be with me. The one thing that I want to see but I can't and won't be able to is the one thing that you hide from me. That one thing is the love that only two souls will live once again' " Severus read and as he did so his face pale knowing who the code refer to.
"Thank you, Severus it is now time to began the next task" Albus said. He led everyone to the Quidditch Field. Once everyone was in the field they noticed nine different boxes. The champions were taken inside a tent where Severus stepped forward to explain what was to be done.
"In this task each will fight a different creature that will be protecting a golden egg. You need that egg in order to go to the next and final task. Each team must have three eggs when the final contestant comes back. Not only that, you will be time and the team with the less time will win first place. Now you are about to see with what creature you are against. Mr. Malfoy's team first" Severus said.
Draco, Harry, and Hermione neared the bag. Out of the three only Harry looked okay, and Severus just hope it wasn't because of what the young wizard had gone through. He watched as Draco put his hand inside the bag, he grabbed something. The blond wizard took out his hand and noticed it was a small yellowish dragon. Next was Hermione, she put her hand carefully inside the bag. She grab something and took it out, Severus almost smile. She had gotten one of the easiest ones, a handsome black-hair male centaur, and a creature the girl could convince with her mind.
"Wait" Albus said suddenly before Harry could put his hand inside the bag.
"Is something the matter Headmaster?" Karkadoff asked.
"I was thinking if it's okay with Mr. Potter, why not the other students choose their creature first" Albus said. Severus almost sight in relief, it was a good chance one of the other six would get the…
"What do you say Mr. Potter?" Karkadoff asked getting Severus attention back to see what Harry's answer would be. The black-hair wizard locked eyes with Harry, when the young wizard turned to the others once again he nodded. "Okay, if that's what you wish. Madam, you first" the tall wizard said.
Fleur, Marge, and Florean stepped forward. Each stick their hand inside, Severus hadn't really seen what they had gotten as he watch Harry petting the small creatures in Hermione and Draco's hands. He seemed so care free as if he had forgotten what had happen to him at the Dursley's house.
When he looked back at the competitors he noticed that Viktor, Anthony, and Terry had stepped forward. As each stick their hands inside Severus looked at the small creatures in the girls hands. One of them, Fleur to be precise had gotten the other dragon. There were three total each for a team if lucky. He looked at the other girls, Fleur's sister; Marge had gotten the riddle creature while the other girl had gotten another easy creature. A Dark Elf, a royal one, Severus smiled mentally as he remembered how he had convinced the elf to please participate in the competition at Hogwarts.
He turned to the competitors in Mr. Krum's team, the oldest of the three had gotten the last dragon it wasn't a dangerous one and it was easy to pass through without fighting if you knew how to. The other had gotten the tiger/human creature. Severus had taken time to convince that one too. It looked pretty at simple sight but if you knew better you better have brains to pass through the tiger/human creature. He looked at the youngest of the three and saw that he had gotten the last easy creature of all, a female centaur. The creature was beautiful, she was the male centaur's mate and Severus had really taken his time to trick them into the competition. It turned to a challenge that then turn into pack between Severus and the pair. His eyes almost widen at the realization of what was the last creature.
Harry stepped forward and Severus almost took the bag away from him. Harry lock eyes with him again and Severus knew that the young wizard was smart and would be able to do anything in just a matter of seconds or minutes. Severus watch as the young wizard put his hand inside; he grabbed the last creature of all and took out his hand…
