Harry stared at Snape hopping; praying that he was seeing an illusion or that smack from Uncle Vernon really rattled his brains. But now, there he stood. The same dark black robes, hooked nose, shoulder length black hair and the dark black eyes. Peering down at him.
"Harry Potter." Professor Snape
said. Yep, this was Snape all right, Harry thought.
"Severus did you find him?" someone said. They both looked and saw someone approaching them. It was a woman.
She wore light silver blue robes and Harry noticed something hanging off her waist but it was to dark to tell. Harry could see she had silvery white blonde hair tied up in a loose bun. She had long bangs with parts of it covering her light sapphire blue eyes and around her face. She also had thin black-rimmed glasses that were sort of hanging low on her nose. Harry cold sees she was really thin in an ill, frail kind of way. But she gave him a gentle smile and Harry relaxed easily around her.
"Who are you?" Harry asked timidly.
"My name is Anastasia Lupin. You may call me Anna if you wish." Anastasia said then she turned to Snape.
"Are you done scaring the poor boy Severus? If you are lets go now. I want to take a look at the bruise." She said.
Harry stared at her then at Snape. He never meets anyone who talked to Snape like that. He heard Snape grumble something but couldn't quiet hear it.
"Well then, let's go!" Anastasia said with a smile.
"Where are we going?" Harry asked. He watched Anna hold up her wand and whispered, "Lumos" Her wand lighted up giving off some light in the dark street way.
Then with a big bang the Knight Bus appeared right in front of them. The door opened and out stepped a very small plump driver.
"Where to?" he asked.
"Hollow Woods." Anna said. She paid the man and he took Harry's trunk up to the top. While Harry put Hedwig in her cage.
"Let me see the bruise Harry." Anna
said as they soon settled down on the bus.
Harry turned his face so she can see the bruise. He saw a flash of anger burn in her eyes, hidden beneath the strands of silver white bangs.
"That blasted Muggle." He heard her hiss with venom.
"It's just a small bruise. It'll heal with a quick charm." Snape said. Anna turned at him sharply.
"He wouldn't have this bruise if that Muggle who calls himself a man slapped him!" Anna snapped.
Harry watched with wide eyes as the two argued. He took a closer look at her. Anastasia Lupin, could she be related to Professor Lupin? The Defense Against Dark Arts teacher from his third year at Hogwarts? They didn't look alike at all to be brother or sister. He remembers Professor Lupin having light brown hair streaked with gray. While Anna had silver white hair. The only thing he could really see in common with them was that they both looked ill. But Professor Lupin was only ill once every month since he was a werewolf. But she looked ill and it wasn't anywhere near a full moon.
"Harry."
Harry snapped out of his thoughts when he heard his name. He looked and saw Anna looking at him in a gentle kind of way.
"Where here, come on." She said to him.
Soon they where off the bus within a
couple of minutes. Harry looked around to see where he was. It looked like to be
in some kind of forest. He turned around and he saw a white house. It looked
like any normal Muggle home. Two-stories high with a nice lawn and with a
flowerbed near the windows.
"Come on." Anna said as she opened the
door.
"You should sleep now. It's already past
midnight. I'm sorry Harry but I can't heal the bruise until Dumbledore has a
look at it. But don't worry; Severus will give you something to get rid of the
pain. Right Severus?" Anna said with a stern voice glaring at Snape over her
glasses. Snape quickly nodded not wanting to disagree with the witch.
Soon Harry was drinking the potion. As much as
Harry would like to check the potion to make sure something wasn't wrong with
it he couldn't. Since Snape was standing there in front of him with a look
daring him to ask what was wrong with the potion. So he quickly drowned it in a
couple of gulps.
Then Anna led him upstairs to his room. It had
a four-poster curtains white and silver with a large window facing the backyard.
"Goodnight Harry." Anna said. She gently ruffled his hair and hugged him like a mother would do. Harry remembered only being hugged like this from Mrs. Weasly when he was at the Tri Wizard Tournament. Then she kissed the top of his head gently.
"Sweet dreams." Anna said then
gently closed the door behind her.
There wasn't something about Harry that made Harry feel so relaxed around her. Even with Snape glaring down his back when they where on the bus. Like, he was around his mother. Harry shook his head and plopped on the bed to tired to change, only to take his shoes off. Soon he fell asleep.
