Chapter Five
That statement hit Snape hard, 'what had he seen about me?' " Well if it is about me then I should know don't you think." His sly voice enveloped Harry.
"I am sorry Professor, but I can't tell you."
"Don't you remember Mr. Potter I always keep some veterisium in my pocket? I could just give you a dope of this and you would tell all."
"I know, but you don't want to hear this it probably isn't a very good memory for you." Harrys' voice was now almost in whisper, "But if you really want to know so badly then I will tell you."
"Yes Mr. Potter I would like to know." A smirk crossed his face, "Please tell on."
"What I saw Professor?"
"Yes Boy what you saw."
"Okay, I saw Voldemort in the middle of a circle of Death Eaters, he was holding a woman. At first I didn't know who the woman was, but later it came to me. Voldemort said that the woman was 'The One' and that a special Death Eater would be given the opportunity to do whatever they had to do to this woman." Harry paused to look at Snape, but his expression what blank and his eyes empty, so Harry continued. "He then called the name of the chosen Death Eater and said that he should like this because she was his former teacher. The named Death Eater was you, Professor Snape!" Harry looked away. Snape's breathing was shallow and very still. "Then you stepped forward and took the woman into another room and I heard loud bangs and screams. I know who that woman was Professor. Do you still want me to continue?"
"No, Mr. Potter I know the rest of that story. These visions you are seeing have they all been of the past?"
"No usually they are of the present or future; I did see something not of the past though."
"Oh and what was that?"
"It was again with Voldemort, but there wasn't as many Death Eaters there were only about 10 and they didn't have masks on. Voldemort said that they were his most trust worthy servants and that he had found another curse. Another unforgivable curse. It is supposed to allow his to get near me and be able to. to kill me. He said it was called Ariciuos."
"Did you see who was at this meeting?"
"Only some of them, but I know for sure who was there it was Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, and MacNair."
Once again there was total silence in the room, "Professor may I ask you a question?"
"I suppose so, but I might not give you the answer."
"What did you do to the woman in that room?"
"Which woman are you talking about Potter?"
"McGonagall."
Snapes eyes grew wide, "NO! You may never know what went on behind those doors!" Snapes tone was cold enough to kill.
Harry felt that weird feeling in his stomach again and realized it wasn't a macho think he had to PEE!! Really badly. "Excuse me, but where are the bathrooms?" Snape looked up then pointed toward the double doors. After reliving himself Harry washed his hands they his face. When he wiped his face dry and looked into the mirror he was shocked, his nose seemed to have grown a half inch his check bones were higher and his skin was almost a milky white! His hair seemed a bit longer too. This must be how wizards go through puberty. Her walked back into the room and took one look at Snape and gasped. He ran back into the bathroom and left the door open. Looked into the mirror then back at Snape. He-he-he looked like Snape!! Slowly and more cautiously he walked back into the room and stood right in front of Snape. Snape looked Harry straight in the eye and Harry did the same to Snape. At that moment Dumbledore walked in on the pair looking at each other.
'My god he is changing faster than I expected.' Dumbledore smiled to himself, "Excuse the interruption, but we have a little matter on our hands. It seems Voldemort had gotten through the outer most layer of our protection field. There is only one more safe place for Harry now. Severus you know where to go. You have to hurry take him now!"
Snape grabbed Harry by the arm and pulled him into the hall. He started running and pulled Harry along with him. They went down the hall around a corner, down another hall up some stars about five more flights of stairs then out a door they were on the 7th floor balcony. Snape pulled Harry close to himself, "hold on tight." They he started running and jumped off the balcony. They were falling, falling and then 'POP'. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Sonorous." Dumbledore said as he held his wand up to his throat. "All faculty immediately proceed to the faculty lounge! This is an emergency please everyone proceed to the faculty lounge!"
Dumbledore ran along the corridors and entered the lounge. Everyone was already in there, "Voldemort had just broken through the first layer of the protection barrier. Harry had already been evacuated and will be all right. We now have to pull together all of our energy and power and try to reinforce the barriers. Voldemort is strong but not as strong as he used to be, we can beat him this time. What we are going to have to do is place ourselves around the outside of the castle then say the spell. Our only hope is to use the spell Umbule.
Minerva you go to the south side, Sprout to the greenhouse, Hooch to the Quidditch pitch, vector to the west, Poppy to the east side, Flitwick around the north tower, and I will go to the front gates. All right, now its 3:10 at 3:12 we will all say Umbule, you will know when to stop. Lets go!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Harry and Snape landed on the floor with a hard thud, "where are we?"
"We are at my manor."
"Why are we safer here than at Hogwarts?"
"Because Voldemort doesn't know about this place and it is protected by the Fedilus charm. The same charm that was on your parents house."
"Those don't work very well." Harry pointed out flatly.
"Only it the Secret-Keeper tells someone, and my Secret-Keeper would never tell."
"Oh, that's what my parents thought, and now look at them. How do you know your Secret-Keeper isn't working for Voldemort?"
A deep chuckle escaped Snape's mouth causing Harrys face to scrunch up, "unless you think that Dumbledore is on the dark side then we have nothing to worry about."
Harrys face turned slightly pink then he turned in a complete circle, "This is a nice place you've got here."
"Well thank you for your approval Mr. Potter." He said with a slight smirk. "Now there will a be a few rules while we are in my house 1. You are not allowed about eh second floor. 2. You cannot send any owls from here, and 3. You are not allowed to go into the dungeons. I'll show you to your rooms, follow me." Snape turned and they walked down the hallways in silence. "Down at the other end of this hall are the kitchens, through those doors is the dining room directly past that is the living room, bathrooms, and my personal quarters. Don't ever disturb me then. Now this door is your room, your stuff was collected by the house elves. Oh, and Potter off of you rooms is the entrance to the dungeons, remember NEVER go in there."
With that Harry and Snape went their separate ways. Once Harry was in his rooms he felt very strange. Being in Snape's house was something he never ever thought of. It seemed that the house elves worked very quickly for all of his stuff was already there. The décor of his room was very plane, the bedding was a deep brown, the walls were tan and the only chair in the room were also a deep brown. 'At least it is a colour.' Harry thought. He laid down on the bed, it was very comfortable, and Harry fell asleep. For once Harry had a dreamless sleep. About three hours went by before Harry even moved. He lazily sat up and pushed off the covers. 'That's strange I didn't go to sleep under the covers.'
"Mr. Potter sir," a squeaky voice said form the side from this bed. "Mr. Potter, sir you must wake up dinner is ready sir. Master Snape is waiting, you must come sir."
"Okay I'm coming."
The house elf left the room. Harry slowly got out of bed. Stretched his limbs then walked out into the hall. At the end of the hall he turned left and through the doors. The table sat only 6, small compared to Hogwarts, but he took a seat across form Snape.
"Potter." Snape said without even looking up from his paper.
"Evening." Harry replied.
The food appeared on the plates and the glasses were filled. Potatoes and gravy, with steak this was going to be a good dinner..
A/N That the end of that chapter, I hope you liked it ^_^ I am going to post again tomorrow! R/R or else Grrrrrrrrr jk!!
