Where Do We Go From Here?
Disclaimer: Not mine. J.K.Rowlings. I'm just obsessed.
Author's Notes: Okay, here it is. The beginning of a new story. As to where it's going, I am definitely open to suggestions. I will tell you that it will not have slash (or any sort of sexual relationship in it). It will be a story about Harry and Severus, in which something happens to Harry to make Severus realize that he's not James, and that they become best friends, and maybe father/son like. Please review and tell me what you want. Is in the same storyline as my other story about Severus and Dumbledore.
Chapter One
It was the first class of Sixth Year Potions, with Slytherns and Gryffindors. Severus Snape stood at the podium watching the students file in and take seats. There weren't near as many as last year. Now, only those who had passed their OWLs with a high enough grade had an invitation to be here. There were ten students in all. Four from Gryffindor, including the Golden Trio, and six from Slythern. Draco Malfoy was unfortunately among the six. Severus would have to watch him closely to make certain no unfortunate accidents happened to Harry Potter and his friends. Draco had been very vocal at Deatheater meetings over the summer, blaming Harry for Lucius Malfoy's imprisonment.
Hmmm... missing two. The two. Harry and Draco. Surely the damn Golden Boy knows enough to avoid Draco alone.
Aloud, he said "I suppose Misters Malfoy and Potter feel it necessary not to attend the first day of class. Malfoy, I can understand, given the circumstances." He pinned a glare on Hermoine Granger. "I don't suppose you know where Potter is, hmmm, Ms Granger?"
"He was summoned to the Headmaster's office halfway through class, Sir." She elbowed Ron as he opened his mouth to add something.
Snape turned to the blackboard and waved a hand, activating the spell that made the instructions for that day's lesson begin. "Begin," he intoned, sitting down at his desk to grade papers.
A few minutes later, Draco strode into the room. He quietly began working on that day's potion. Severus was quick to note the smug look on his face. After ten minutes or so had passed, Snape got up and went into his office, closing the door behind him.
Taking a pinch of Floo powder, he Fire called Albus.
"Severus!" the older wizard looked worried. "Is everything alright? You should be teaching class right now."
"Potter did not show up for class, and Malfoy was a good fifteen minutes late. I was wondering if he was still in your office."
"Harry has not been here. Why would he have been?"
"This is bad, Albus. Granger told me that Potter had been summoned to your office during their last class."
"Dismiss class, Severus, and look for him. Make sure the students don't know why class is being dismissed. I will begin to search the upper floors."
"Yes, Headmaster."
A few minutes of stalking around the nine students checking their progress gave him ample time to find a student who's potion was close to the right stage for him to intervene. Another round of looking at potions and being snarky, a pinch of wart powder into a cauldron. The classroom filled with smoke and bad smelling fumes.
"Class dismissed!" Severus' voice rang out. Student's quickly headed out the door.
A quick wand wave and the room was clear of smoke and smell. Severus warded the classroom door behind him, and followed Mister Malfoy as the student took off down a side corridor deeper into the dungeons.
