Harry was late again for potions class. He hated that class but he really hated being late.

The teacher Professor Snape hated him and the other Gryffindor students. He was head of the Slytherin house so he only likes Slytherin student.

Harry ran as fast as he could. He walked into the class room to see there was no one in there. He walked over his desk to see a note on it.

Mr. Potter, your late, that is 20 points from Gryffindor. We are in the library so go straight there, you have 10 minutes. Professor Snape.

Harry put the letter in his pocket. He grabbed his things and ran to the library. There he saw his best friends, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. They were in a corner by themselves.

"Hey Harry, why are you so late?" said Ron in a whisper.

"Professor McGonagall needed to aske me something. You know how long a walk......."

"Nice to see you join us Mr. Potter." Said a cold voice behind him. "Miss Granger and Mr. Weasley go seat over there."

"Sorry I'm late Professor. Professor McGonagall......"

"Slience, I don't need to hear your excuses." He said with anger in his voice, "This is the thrird time you are late this week. I think it is time we talk about a detention."

"But, it wasn't my fault i was....."

"I said slience." Snape's eye grew wider. "I won't stand anymore of your impertinence. So be quit and sit over there." He pointed to a dark corner where he will be sitting by his self.

"Um...professor, what are we doing?" Harry said with a little girls voice.

"Wouldn't you like to know." Snape scowled and walked away.

By the time class was over Professor Snape had a really bad detention for Harry.

"Mr. Potter, your detention will beheld tomorrow night. You will find out what you are going to do." Snape said, "By the way bring your toothbrush, you will be needing it." Snape walked away smacking his cloak in Harry face.
Harry caught up with his friend. They were on their way to lunch when Hermione asked,

"Harry, what is your detention?"

"I don't know, all he said was bring a toothbrush." Harry replied.

"A toothbrush?" Ron asked raising his eyebrow.

When they got to the hall all of the other Gryffindor were already eating.

"Harry Potter, over hear." said a litte voice. It was Ginny Weasley. She had a major crush on Harry. Harry knew it but he didn't want to admit it.

"Hi, Ginny." Harry smiled.

Ginny blushed, "I saved you guys a seat."

"Thanks." Harry said making her blush even more.

They began to eat when there was a loud noise outside the doors. Everyone jumped. Headmaster Dumbledore jumped up and said "Nobody move." He told the Professor Snape to come with him. He walked over to the door and opened it. It was Peeves. He was scared out of his mind.

"Peeves what is the matter?" Dumbledore asked.

"He.....he...he's back." Peeves stuttered.

Dumbledore looked at Snape. Then he looked back at Peeves.

"Who is back?" Snape asked.

"You........you...you-know-who. He came back to get Harry Potter." Peeves pointed to Harry. "He needs to go or we all will die." Peeves ran toward Harry, but Hagrid stopped him.

"Hol' on 'ere" said Hagrid.

"We have to get him out or we all will die.' Peeves was yelling.

"Hagrid please get him out." Dumbledore said, "take him to the hospital wing."

"Aye-aye, Dumbledore, sir" Hagrid walked out of the room. The students could still hear Peeves say, "Get him out or we all will die."

Dumbledore walked back up to the front of the room with Snape following him. "Now lets all get back to our lunch." He said with anger in his voice. "Snape, I would like you to go get Harry and the both of you come to my office."

Snape groaned and walked over to Harry's table. Harry knew why Snape was walking to to his table.

"I will see you guys later." Harry said disapointed. He hadn't seen his friends all day and now he had to leave again.

"How do you know he is coming over here?" Ron asked.

'I just know." Harry sighed and walked over to Snape. "Let me guess Dumbledore wants to see me?"

"Don't get all cocky Mr. Potter." Snape growled as his eyes flashed dangerously.

They walked to Dumbledore office. Snape pushed Harry out of the way when he knocked on the door. Dumbledore was talking to Fudge. He had a jar of glittering powder on his table.

"Come in." Dumbledore said. "Then it is settled then Fudge, I will tell them now."

He pointed for Harry and Snape to have a seat.

"Know, Harry I know you must be scared about what Peeves said."

"Well, actually I am not."

"Don't talk back to him, boy." Snape snaped to him.

"Now Severus, stop yelling at the boy. Now I asked you both to come here because, the safety of Harry and the school. Severus, I need to ask a big favor, but it is a private matter so Harry will you please wait outside."

"Yes, Dumbledore." Harry got up and walked outsie the door.

"Now, Severus, I know this a big decision to make but I need it to be a good answer. Now, Snape as you just heard that Lord Voldemort has sopposely come back to get Harry. We don't know if that is true but if it is alot of people are introuble. So we have to take Harry away."

Snape grew a little smile. He is finally going to kick Harry out of school.

"Snape, this be a shock but I think is for the best. On behalf of the school we would like Harry to stay with you till school ends."

Snape's mouth droped open, he jumped out of his chair, and yelled "Dumbledore are you out of your mind, I can't stand that little brat. He will not stay with me. No, I will not have that happen."

"Now, Professor Snape, it has been arranged that he will stay with you. Now I know it may be uncomfortable at first but it is for the boy safety and ours."

"No, that is my answer, he will not stay with me. I do not think so.'

Dumbledore yelled, "I don't think it matter, he will stay with you and that is finally, now bring Harry in here."

Snape looked even angery then Harry had ever seen him. Snape opened the door and called Harry in.

"Harry, my boy. I know you don't get along with Snape to much but we need to have it arranged that you stay with him till the school is over for the summer. So if you have any question on why you have to stay with him please ask." There was a deadly slience. Harry couldn't believe what he was hearing. Him and Snape shareing a room. It will be unbearable, "Ok then, now Snape will show you where you will be staying and now you may go pack."

Harry, was shocked. He went to his room and started to pack. Ron and the other kids were in their classes still. Harry wrote a note to Ron explaining where he will be and he is allowed to come and visit, Dumbledore siad so. Harry walked to where he will be staying.

He knocked on the door. He heard scrambling behind the door. Then the door opened. Snape had a look of disgusted when he saw Harry standing there.

"Potter, your early." he muttered.

"I know", Harry repiled, "Can i come in?"

Snape let him in and showed him where he is going to be sleeping.
