Harry wanted answers from his father but wasn't sure if he was going
to get them. His father was very secretive about something but Harry
decided it wasn't important and filled his mind with things that were going
on right now. He was starting to enjoy being there more with each day that
passed by. He spent a lot of time in the library reading about all kind of
different things. He was quite fond of this one book called 'Time Travel
for Dummies' by Roger Alberts. He didn't spend as much time with his father
as he wished he could. His father was always busy with one thing or
another. There was only two days left until his birthday and he was getting
a little impatient to find out what he really looks like. He was sitting in
his room working on an essay for potions when his father entered.
"What are you working on?"
"Potions, I'm almost done."
"Can I see?"
"Sure," he handed his essay to his father.
"Looks good to me," His father was smiling.
"I never thought you would say that to me," they both smiled.
"Well I came in here to ask you if you want to come with me to Diagon Alley with me on your birthday. We can get your school supplies."
"Alright, I'll officially be Zachary Snape. I wonder if anyone will recognize me."
"I don't know. It depends on how drastic the changes are."
"I guess. Is there anything else you wanted?"
"I just wanted to see how you were doing."
"I'm ok. Just a little tired."
"Alright, good night."
"Night," about an hour after he fell asleep he started dreaming about the third task. He was awoken from the dream finding himself in a cold sweat. He decided he wasn't going to get much sleep tonight so he went down to the library. He must have fallen asleep down there because the next thing he knew he was being shaken awake by his father.
"How long have you been down here Harry?"
"What time is it?"
"5:30"
"About 7 hours."
"I thought you went to sleep in your own bed."
"I did, but I had another nightmare."
"Why didn't you tell me you have nightmares?"
Harry shrugged, "I didn't want you to worry."
His father pulled him into a hug, "I will always worry about you Harry, no matter what happens to you." This made Harry smile. "So what are these nightmares of yours about?"
"Well a lot are about the third task, but some are more like visions. Some are some are Death Eaters meetings but a lot are the murders they do."
"That's horrible Harry, you should have told me."
"The worst part is whenever he uses the cruciatus, I can feel it." Harry looked as though he was going to cry.
"You should probably start taking a dreamless sleep potion. Then you won't have to deal with that."
"But what if it doesn't work?"
"We'll just have to hope it does. If it doesn't then I want you to tell me when you have them, deal?"
"Deal."
"So do you have any plans for today?"
"No but I do have a question. Is the charm going to wear off at exactly midnight?"
"It should. We'll just have to wait and see."
"Alright," They had a very uneventful day. Harry spent a lot of time in the library and he even went swimming for a while. He was a little nervous about what was going to happen at midnight. When midnight came he was in the sitting room with his father. He was shacking because he was afraid of what he will look like. When the clock stroke midnight his father gasped. "What is it?"
"Take a look." He handed Harry a mirror. What he saw made him see why his father gasped. He looked like a totally different person. The only thing that was the same was his eyes, his nose, and the color of his hair. He was still wondering if anyone would recognize him. At least now he knew what he looked like.
"I guess I'm officially Zachary Snape now huh?" his father smiled and gave him a secure hug.
"Yes, and don't you ever forget it." Zachary smiled.
***TBC***
