Author's Note: Yeah... hmm... hi guys... So I figured I'd work on this. Sorry if this chapter completely sucks, my family is being dumb so I'm sitting here in the dark typing, (my, what a life I have.) So... sorry if this totally sucks but I find it a good way to vent anger. I'll give shout outs to everyone that's reviewed at the end of this chapter. ________________________________________________________________________
Severus was worried. When he and Albus returned to the Hospital Wing, Harry was gone. They had searched the castle left and right looking for him. He was no where to be found. It seemed as if the castle was hiding him. Distraught he turned to Albus, "Albus, where is he? Where did he go? How come we can't find him?"
"Severus, I do not know. This castle was built a thousand years ago, I once read that it obeyed a students innermost wishes. In this case, I believe Harry felt that no one care for him and that he'd just disappear, so that's what the castle probably did."
"SO bring him back. You are the Headmaster; make it bring back my son!" Severus yelled not knowing the words were coming out of his mouth.
"Severus, remain calm, we will find Harry; just wait. You stay here and wait to see if Harry comes back. I will continue searching." Albus said in that usually calm tone. Not knowing what else to do; Severus sat down and reread Lilly's letter for the thousandth time.
Be it minutes or hours later, Severus did not know but Albus came carrying a rather exhausted looking Harry into the Hospital Wing. Right after Albus set Harry down Severus got up and left. "Severus, where are you going?" Albus asked.
"I have a new roommate coming. Do I not? I do believe a roommate or SON in this matter needs a room." Severus replied and walked away completely forgetting about Lilly's letter. ________________________________________________________________________
A few hours later, Harry awoke. He opened his eyes and the first thing he thought was, I'm back in the Hospital Wing, they found me. Harry stretched out his arm to get his glasses off the bedside table, accidentally knocking a piece of old yellowed parchment off the table.
Harry slipped on his glasses and looked at what he knocked down. It was a letter... from his mother. It read: My Dearest Severus.
Harry finished the letter in shock. So, Severus really was his father. Thoughts were racing through his head. There was one in particular, why didn't Severus tell him?
Dumbledore came up to Harry's room that afternoon. "Come on Harry," He said your better now. It's time to go to your new home."
"M-m-my new home?" Harry stuttered.
"Yes Harry, your new home. Your wounds have healed surprisingly quickly. There will be some scarring though. I'm sorry. But, back to your new home; one of the teachers has decided to allow you into their private chambers."
"Professor, I know this doesn't concern anything but, who is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"
"Why, it is Professor Lupin, he should be returning any day now." Albus replied, "Ah. Here is your new 'roommate' now. Harry, you'll be staying with Severus until the start of term."
"Come on Harry," Severus said, "We should get you down to your room so you can get settled."
Severus and Harry were half way to the dungeons when Harry finally got up the courage to tell Severus. "Professor," Harry began, "I know."
"What do you 'know' Potter?" Severus snapped his mind on other things.
"W-w-well... I um... woke up this morning and I-I-I found my mum's letter and at first I didn't know what it was and then I read and if you want me to go back to the Hospital Wing I understand. I know how y-you like your privacy and I'll just be a bother so I'll go back." By this time Harry was just rambling and it took a minute for Severus to figure out what he was trying to say.
"I thought you find out eventually, not exactly the way I planned it though," Severus said, as if he were just commenting on the weather, but truly he was outraged, how did Harry even get the letter, and he read it, outrageous.
Then, outside a portrait in one of the dungeons Severus stopped, "This is the entrance to my and for the time being, your chambers the password is 'draconi cori.'" (Author's Note- please excuse the abyssymal Latin, I haven't look at anything in Latin in a long time. It's supposed to mean dragon heart but i'm not quite sure if that's right.)
Severus continured, "The password can be changed by only me, but I'll tell you when I do. Got it?"
Harry nodded numbly and followed Severus inside. "Now here is the living room, the bath room, my room, don't go in there, the lab, the kitchen, and here is your room. Now there are a couple-"Severus stopped, Harry had stopped walking in front of his room.
"Is there something wrong with your room?"Severus asked, "You can change the colors if you'd like."
"I actually have a room?" Harry asked shocked.
"Of course you have a room. Why wouldn't you?"
"Umm.. well.. at my Uncle's I slept in the cupboard under the stairs."
"YOU SLEPT IN A CUPBOARD?!?" Severus asked shocked.
"Y-y-yes," Harry stammered, "My cot f-f-fot onthere nicely and-"
"Why didn't you tell anyone?"
"I did."
"Really, Albus didn't say anything when you told him you slept in a cupboard?"
"I told him. I begged him to let me stay here he wouldn't let me."
"Yeah right, why didn't you tell anyone else?"
"I didn't tell anyone because no one cared. No one has cared and no one will cared!" Harry roared and fled from the room. _____________________________________________________________________
