Chapter Two



Harry looked shocked. He didn't expect his mother standing in the doorway to his room. "Mom?", he asked.

"I'm home, Harry", she said nearly in a whisper.

The boy jumped from the bad and ran to his mother. Both hugged each other. They started to cry. None of them was ever so happy in his life. For a long time they just sobbed onto each others shoulders. As they stopped, they just starred in each others eyes.

"Why did you come so late, Mom?", Harry asked. His eyes were still filled with tears.

"I lost my vision, Harry. I started to remember just four years ago. Forgive me, son. I'm so happy to have you." Lily hugged her son again.

"I'm happy, too, Mom."

The Dursleys went into the room. Each of them had a smirk on his face. It was good for them that Lily was back. Now they didn't have to take care for the "freaky" boy anymore. They never liked Harry. During his first ten years with the Dursleys Harry had to live in a cupboard under the stairs. Then he got the smallest room in the house. The Dursleys had refused to send Harry to Hogwarts. They hated everything that was about wizards and witches.

"Lily, don't you want to have some tea with us?", Petunia asked.

Before Lily could say yes, Vernon said something. "The boy can pack his stuff during that."

That made Lily to shake her head. "I'll help Harry."

Vernon smirked "Then you are faster out of my house." Dudley and Petunia grinned. The Dursleys went out of the room and left Harry and Lily alone.





Voldemort sat in a dark room. Some candles burnt. Lucius Malfoy stood at his side. "Master, when do you want us to kill the next Mudblood?", Lucius asked.

"Not now, Lucius. Not now.", the Dark Lord said.

Lucius nodded and left the room.

Lucius was a Deatheater since the first hour. Since the first downfall of his Master he had helped him to come back to full power.

Outside the room stood Draco, Lucius' son. He was a born Deatheater.

"When do we kill again? Those Mudbloods shouldn't be allowed in our world." Draco came just after his father.

"Not now, the Master said", Lucius told his son.

"I hope, I can kill Potter or Granger, soon." Draco grinned evilly.





Serverus stared at the Daily Prophet. Another Mudblood had been killed by Deatheater. How could they kill so many? They weren't any worse then purebloods. Often Mudbloods were better than purebloods.

Snape thought about Hermione Granger. She was a Mudblood. But she knew more things than kids like Draco Malfoy. She was really clever and she wanted to learn.

Sometimes Serverus thought that he was in the wrong house. Maybe he was put into Slytherin because of his family. Everyone of them had been in Slytherin since at least 500 years. Maybe because of his love to snakes. As a child he had plenty of them. Maybe he was sorted into Slytherin because he had always been quiet and never talked to anyone except a sarcastic comment.

Serverus sighed. His life could have been so easy, if he had been sorted into another house.



Harry and his mother packed his stuff together. Harry was happy to leave the Dursleys. But he didn't know where to go. He had stayed at the Burrow several times. Ron wouldn't mind, if he stayed there again. But Harry had pride. He didn't want anyone to know his miserable life, although Ron knew know the most. "Mom, have you an idea, where to go?", Harry asked.

"I don't know yet, Harry. We can go to Diagon Alley and buy floo poweder. Maybe we can floo to Hogwarts", Lily suggested.

Harry nodded. He liked being on Hogwarts.

"Harry, did they ever beat you?" Lily didn't know, what to do, if they had.

"No, they just made me to clean, to cook and to cut the grass", Harry answered.

They packed Harry's stuff in silence. Harry didn't know what to ask. Lily didn't know how to tell him that James isn't his father. After packing Lily and Harry joined the Dursleys in the living room.

"So, ready for leaving?", Vernon asked.

"Yeah .. Err. can anyone take us to London." Lily looked pleading at her sister's family.

"Okay sure we can. Just come with me." Vernon led the Potters in the car.

"I hope I don't see you again", he mumbled during the ride.

"So do I", Harry thought.





Lucius and Draco went to Knockturn Alley. Knockturn Alley was an alley with shops for dark wizards and witches. It was Lucius' and Draco's favorite shopping mile.

"Father, I need some things for my school", Draco said.

"I know Draco. We'll buy it soon. In potions you'll probably get the best mark. Deatheaters are for the Deatheaters", Lucius tod his son.

"This Granger-Mudblood will be dead soon. She had always been the best." Draco giggled evilly.

"I suggest it to the Dark Lord." Lucius smiled. His son was really good. Lucius was happy to have such a serving son.





Hermione Granger sat in her room in her parents' house. She was afraid of the Deatheaters. They had killed another Mudblood, she read in the Daily Prophet. She always hated the Slytherin, the house of the Deatheaters. Draco Mlfoy was the worst. Or was his father worse? Or perhaps Snape? He had never given her a good mark, although she had known everything. But in potions had none been really good. The Slytherin wasn't so clever and the Gryffindors were hated by Snape.

"Hermione, here's a letter for you", Mrs. Granger called.

"I'm coming", Hermione shouted back.

She took the letter from her mother and opened it. She read slowly: Hey Mudblood, You'll be dead soon The Dark Lord.

Hermione swallowed hard and handed the letter to her mother, who was totally shocked after reading it. "We'll ask Dumbledore whether you can stay on Hogwarts during summer. There you are more safe", Mrs. Granger said. She started to write a letter and owled it to Dumbledore.



Harry and Lily reached Diagon Alley. Everyone seemed a bit confused as they saw Lily. Bu they didn't ask anything, they just were happy to see her alive. First Lily and her son went to Gringotts. They go their money nd went to the shops. First they bought Floo powder. Then they went to Flourish and Blotts to buy new books. Harry had to get new books in every subject. Also he had to have new robes. His had got too small. And maybe something for Quidditch.

Harry saw Draco and his father coming down the street. Draco was the last one Harry want to meet in his holidays. Fast Harry went into Flourish and Blotts. For Harry's luck Draco went away.

"Deatheater?", Lily asked in a whisper. Harry nodded. "Two of the worst."





Albus Dumbledore had received the letter from Hermione. He had called all teachers, who were on Hogwarts, in his office.

"Why did you call us, Albus?", Serverus asked.

"I got a letter from Mrs Granger, Hermione's mother. She asked, if Hermione could stay here for the holidays. Her parents think it is more safe here", Albus told the professors.

"Albus, why should we let her stay at Hogwarts? The others aren't allowed to stay here either", Serverus said.

"You are right, Serverus. I've thought about that. It is difficult to decide. I think we should let her stay", the headmaster suggested.

"I think that, too", Minerva McGonagall said.

"We won't have to take care of her very much. She'll sit in the library to learn", Professor Sprout said.

"maybe other parents want to send their kids, too." Serverus was absolutely against Dumbledore's suggestion.

"You have a point, Serverus. But more professors are for her staying. She'll be here tomorrow."

The professors left Dumbledore's office. Snape went to his dungeons. Actually he didn't mind Hermione being on Hogwarts. As long as he could sit alone in his Dungeons.
