Prologue

The Lord

Tom Riddle, one of the richest men in all of Europe, had just been given custody of his best friends child, Severus Snape. He was afraid Severus would curropt his own child, Harry James Riddle. Tom has, recently, been looking for someone to tutor both boys in ediquite, when he received a letter.

'Dear Mr. Riddle,

I have heard that you have two children that are in need of tutoring. And I would like to offer my assistants.

I'm a qaulified tutor. I graduated from Hogwarts, four years ago. A month ago, I worked for the Blacks, who reside in Derbyshire. My tutee being young Sirius Black himself.

I freely admit, that I was relieved of my position, for molesting a minor. Though it was really the minor molesting me.

I take great pride in my work, and would not jeaprodize my position in that way. I eagerly await your reply.

Sincerely,
Remus J. Lupin'

'Hmmm. sounds promising,' though Tom. 'I think I'll give him a try.' Tom, quickly, wrote a reply and sent some cash to this man, so he could come and "visit" on a trial bases of course!

A Tutor

Remus Lupin, a fully qualified private tutor, had recently been relieved of his position. He had been accused of abusing his positions. Of course, Remus had done no such thing, but he knew that the boy had been angry that he refused to have sexual relations with him. Of course, the boy would never suppose that his tutor would be a virgin himself.

So, Remus was now looking for a tutoring position. He applied several places but only one replied.

'Dear Mr. Lupin,

I have received your application and would like for you to come up to my castle in France, to meet my son and charge to see if your up to the challenge. Also, to see if I think you can cope with the sitiation.

Enclosed is 300 francs, to use on the trip here. Enjoy your trip.

Yours,

Lord Tom Marvolo Riddle'

'Oh my gosh!!! I have a job. I have a job!!! . well, almost.' Remus thought, as he ran to the shipping dock and paid the fare to get across the English Channel to get to France.

Harry & Severus

"Harry, why won't you bloody talk?!" Severus exclaimed.

Harry opened his mouth only to shut it again, and shake his head.

Harry, 14 years old, hasn't spoken to a living soul since his mother left 10 years ago. No one really knows, except his father, the time period he stopped speaking, or if he ever really spoke at all!

"Bloody 'ell! Are you stupid or something?!" Severus cried, irritably.

Severus, 16 years old, and just your regular horny teenager. At the moment, Severus was taking his frustrations out on the innocent boy in front of him.

Harry looked at him blankly, 'He's so pretty. no blemishes. very smooth skin. Maybe I should talk.' Harry thought, opening his mouth. Then, quickly, shuts it again. 'I can't! What if he calls me stupid. I'm not pretty. just ugly and stupid! I can't even talk! Even if I did the sound of my voice would make him leave. just like with mother.' *sigh* So Harry decided not to talk.

Severus sneered, "so, you are stupid. I should have known." Severus stalked out of the room, leaving Harry alone with his imaginary friends, again.
