Chapter 3
Harry stayed, as far away from Snape that he could manage, it was difficult considering that the bomb shelter was very small. Elzia meanwhile had made very good friends with Ginny and was telling her all about the muggle world, when Harry's was in a mid life crisis.
The worse thing was that people were beginning to notice something was wrong between Harry and Snape. It was common knowledge that the two of them hated each other but the thing was, all the hatred that each of them suffered had now focused it self on Harry towards Snape. Snape on the other hand was going out of his way to be nice to him, and it was quite disturbing even on Harry's part, and he knew why Snape was behaving like he was.
Luckily after a few days a new distraction occurred. Remus Lupin along with Dean Thomas came back from some weekly thing that they had to do with a blindfolded Death Eater with them. Harry immediately recognised him as Ron Weasley. As Harry merely gaped at his former friend Lupin and Dean threw him down on the uncomfortable metal garden chair and tied him up. The two of them looked at Harry, saying that this was his call. He looked behind him and saw that Fred and George had looks of utmost revulsion on their faces.
Harry crouched down so that he was eye level with Ron, and took of his blindfold. He looked around for a few seconds taking in his surroundings, then he noticed Harry staring right in front of him.
"Oh…hello Harry. Fancy seeing you here."
Harry didn't answer, he stared at his friend, and Ron tried to smile but failing somewhat.
"Look I'm sorry, really, I've sought you out." Harry raised an eyebrow. "No, really I have," Ron continued, laughing nervously. "I have seen the error of my ways. Look Harry, Ok, I admit it. I was scared. But truly I've seen the light at the end of the tunnel!"
Snape swooned over him, like normal he looked like an over grown bat. "This light is looking awfully like a train."
"You're one to talk." Ron said, succeeding in his smile this time. Snape looked upon Ron his arms folded across his chest.
"OK, prove it." Harry told him
"What?"
"Prove your loyalty to us."
Snape smiled a vicious smile that made Ron recoil a bit. "What a good idea" He said slowly. "Yes Weasley give us some information."
"Er…" Ron started. Snape sighed, but Harry silenced him with a look. Ron looked startled at this, Harry's sudden power over Snape, but like everyone else had, said nothing. "Like what?" Ron asked, then he looked at Snape, "What did you tell?"
Snape looked at Harry very strangely; it was a look Harry had never seen before from Snape. He soon looked away though "I told who the Dark Lords' next target was." Then very quietly, to the floor, but really he was talking to Harry. "Why I turned back in the first place."
Then Harry new. He told Dumbledore and the Ministry that they were after Harry. "So, Ron, tell us something." Harry said.
"O…K, um, The Dark Lord is back and he's after Harry, and he always was!"
Snape laughed bitterly. "Tell us something we don't already know."
"What, you know?"
"Yeah!"
"Ok, you knew he was back, but did you know he was after you Harry. Did anyone tell you it was you He Who Must Not Be Named was after, not your parents, well your mother any way."
Harry raised an eyebrow at him, and nodded. He had found out at the end of his first year at Hogwarts. It had been difficult information to deal with at first but had soon got on with life. But had told no one. It didn't seem to be the information that he wanted to share. Every one around him was shocked. Every one save Snape, Lupin and Sirius. They had obviously been told. The looks of awe didn't last for long. Ron was speaking again. "I can tell you about the ritual! The ritual of his immortality, what he wants to use Harry for, and the ritual he'll use!"
Now that was information worth knowing. To know the ritual was like it raining gold dust.
