Chapter 13
"Harrison can you come here a minute, please?" Tom shouted up the stairs thinking his son is upstairs.
Harry is in his lab doing another combined assignment for Mr Snape. When he hears his father shout for him to come here, sighing Harry runs upstairs from the lab which is in the basement.
"Yes, Dad?" Harry asked as he gently closes the door to the basement.
"What do you think this is?" Tom asked Harry as he holds up an envelope and shows it to his son.
"Shit, that's my report card." thought Harry then answers "I think that is my end of term report card, Dad."
"Correct" replied Tom while trying to keep a stern look on his face but fails as his face lights up with a proud look.
"Well done son, did you know you are well above your year level for Chemistry and Potions classes? There is a note on the bottom from Mr Snape and he said that he got a job offer at a different school and he was offered to take one student who showed outstanding skills in this area to go with him and he chose you." Tom explained with the proudest look on his face.
"WHAT! Really! I was going to ask him if I could do an apprenticeship with him when I finished school. This is amazing!"
"Really son, would you like to go? The school is called Hogwarts School for Prodigies."
"Yes I would like to go, can you call Mr Snape? I need more information." Harry replied just as he hears a bang.
"OH SHIT!" Harry shouts as he runs to his lab. The combined assignment he was doing has just exploded because he forgot to turn off the fire underneath the potion.
One Hour Later
Harry goes back upstairs after cleaning the lab. He is going to need a new worktop as the explosion ruined the old one. He goes into the living room to see his teacher sitting there.
"Hello Mr Snape, thank you for the offer to come with you to your new school."
"You're very welcome, now your Dad told me you needed more information, what did you want to ask?"
"What type of school is it? Is it a day school? Where is it?"
"It is a school for chemistry and potions prodigies but you will still do your core subjects such as Maths and English. It is not a day school it is a boarding school so you will live on campus except for holidays such as Easter, Christmas and summer holidays. The school is in Scotland. Does that answer all your questions? Severus asked his student smiling.
"Yes Sir! Thank you. I think I want to come with you, I have one more question would you be in charge of me while I am at this school?"
"Yes I would, as it is me taking you to the school you will be my responsibility while you are there. What do you think about your son leaving for boarding school Mr Riddle?"
"I think it is amazing that he is considered a prodigy in this particular field and I want my son to learn all he can. If that means him going to boarding school then so be it. I will not stop my son getting the best education he can. When do you leave?"
"At the start of next term. The school will sort out his uniform and other things for the first term then after that it is up to you to sort it out. If that is everything I need to go."
After Mr Snape has gone Tom pulls Harry into a hug and kisses him while just holding onto him.
"Erm, Dad I need a new worktop for my lab" said Harry sheepishly
"Why, what is wrong with the one you have?" Tom questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"It may have been destroyed when my potion exploded. I may have forgotten to turn off the flame when I left the lab, that's what that bang was earlier."
"Harry!" Tom said with an exasperated sigh, the new worktop is going to cost a pretty penny.
