Chapter 14:

Last time:

"I can't believe he did that to my little baby." Lily's voice wavered as she said that. She grabbed Simeon's shoulders and shook them. "You knew and you didn't help him! You didn't tell anyone!" She cried. James pulled her hands off the teen and hugged her as she cried into his chest.

"I think you two should go." He said quietly as his hands rubbed soothing circles on her back.

********************************

Harry pushed his food around on his plate before getting up and walking to his DADA class. He sat in the back as he refused to sit next to Pansy. He got stuff out an began to read over his notes and books dealing with what they were studying. When his father walked in, Harry took out his quill, he learned how to use one, and his parchment and opened his book to the correct page. Harry was relieved when James left him alone.

He took a lot of access notes, but he didn't mind so much as he didn't have to think about much. When class got out, he put his stuff away and left for Care of Magical Creatures.

Though the teacher was Remus, he didn't like the class because they were paired with Gryffindors.

"Oh, look, here comes the Potter black sheep. What, help any Dark Lords lately? At least his father is on the good side, his mother seems to be blinded to his filthy Slytherin side." The Weasley boy sneered. Harry just avoided them, fighting instinct to snap back at them. He reminded himself that if he kept silent long enough and acted correctly, his father might forgive him and at least not hate him.

"I hear his father is going to disown him and break his wand." The Thomas boy grinned. Harry just kept walking.

"Oh, now he's going to ignore us." Finnigan grabbed Harry's arm.

"Please let go, I need to go to class." Harry said as he tried to get his arm away. He even said please. He was scared, though, he knew he couldn't fight or James would hate him even more then he already did. He didn't know how to handle the situation.

"I think you need to be taught a lesson in being a Slytherin." Weasley smirked before punching Harry's gut. It wasn't hard compared to what he was used to, but there would be a bruise later. "Tough guy? Well, we'll have to rid you of that."

"Let go, I don't want to fight."

"Crawling away like the snake you are?" Finnigan snapped. Harry was wanting to tell him that snakes don't crawl when his legs were swept from under him and he landed on his back, hard. Immediately instincts came over him and he rolled away from the kicks. If he could, he would avoid being struck. "Petrificus Totalus." He froze and couldn't move, panic overcame him and he tried to get away, but he couldn't as a kick attacked his side.

"What's going on?" A shout stopped the kicks and the trio took the charm off of him so they couldn't get into trouble.

"Professor Potter! He attacked us!" Weasley yelled. Harry groaned when he found out it was his father. Now he would loose everything he had worked for, though it wasn't any better then before, it still put him lower on his dad's list.

"Really?" Harry couldn't believe that his father might believe him over Gryffindors. That was unheard of, his father believing him was unheard of. "What does he have to say?"

"Professor, he's a Slytherin, they always lye to suit their needs." Finnigan protested.

"Maybe so, but I still need to hear from both parties." He said and Harry saw him above wher he lay, but he couldn't get up because it hurt too much. James grasped him under his arms and he cried out in pain. "You four, go to the headmaster's office!" He ordered before turning back to his son.

"Didn't do anything. Promise." Harry gasped from the pain flashing through his right arm. His father just lifted him up by a spell and looked closely at him.

"I know, I saw the whole thing. But after Poppy sees you, we need to talk."

Harry was confused and the first thing he thought was that his father was going to pretend to like him only to hurt him when he least expected it, so it would hurt him more. Mr. Williams did that, Harry had done a lot of extra work and he hand's done anything wrong for a month. One day when he got back, Mr. Williams smiled at him. Harry was shocked and didn't know what was going on. The next day, his caretaker complimented him for a week. The next week when he got back from school, he was the last one in the and the first think that happened was him getting slugged in the face.

Mr. Williams proceeded to tell him how there wasn't any way for him to like a brat like him as he beat him. At the end, the man did something new. Needless to say, Harry didn't go to school for the rest of the week. He hoped the Gryffindors were just making the part about James Potter disowning his eldest child, that he wasn't leading him into a false sense of security before getting rid of him.

When the hospital wing opened, James placed Harry on the nearest bed and called Madam Pomfrey out of her office.

"Well, you've pulled a muscle in your shoulder and have multiple bruises. I can tell that you were put in the full body bind and it looks like someone or some people attacked you."

"Thank you Poppy." James said.

"I would like him to stay in here for a day." She said before leaving. Harry immediately took out the most recent not from Miccy that he had.

"Whatever momma." He muttered as he read the introduction.

"Is that something Lily gave you?" James asked. Harry looked up, shocked that his father asked a question ad didn't insult him or anything.

"Uh, no. Lily's mom. Momma's Miccy, a girl back home. She was the only one that cared about my school work. One day, I thought of something and got what I wanted done. She found out what happened and told me that I got a reward for using my brain. Some a-er-jerk heard and asked me if she adopted me and became my momma. At least I don't make stupid pet names for her. I mean really, Siri-baby? Hare-Bear? How she got Angel-Cakes, I'll never know." He grumbled. He figured that he should soak as much out of his father not hating him as he could.

"Your mother used to call you Harry-berry. For a short while she called you cupcakes, don't know why, never would eat them."

"What do you want? If you're going to get rid of me, or beat me, or something, just do it. Don't pretend to care, you won't bet me heart broken or anything. It only works the first few times, and just so you know, if you plan on doing something like that, it hurts more if you pretend to like the when you first meet them." Harry said, needing to get it out. James was looking at him in shock. "You don't go from hating someone to being civil without another motive."
