Say Goodbye to Harry Potter

Chapter three- The note.

Severus Snape had just gotten back from the Death Eater meeting. 'I will kill that meddlesome old fool! I cannot believe he kept this from me! From Potter! From everyone! He will rue the day he decided that this was best kept quiet!' Severus was now at the doors of Hogwarts. Luckily for him, Voldemort had been in such a good mood about his new plans that he hadn't tortured any of his inner circle, outer maybe a few…in short Severus Snape was, for the first time in his life, returning from a Death Eater meeting completely unscathed. "Marshmallows." He bit out the password. Oh the Headmaster was going to pay.

Harry was still awake. Since he'd returned to Hogwarts he'd been snappy with everyone. Not just Hermione and Ron, but anyone that decided to talk to him. 'Except Malfoy…oh well, maybe the guy isn't as bad as I thought, well he seems to want to know more about me. Hmm that could just be another one of dear old Voldie's new plans.' Harry was confused, he'd actually felt comfortable with talking with Malfoy? Well there was a turn up for the books. 'Well then, let's just see if I can trust the git. Hmmm how to do that?' He would see if the blond was trustworthy and whether or not he meant Harry no harm. 'If he proves he genuinely wants to be my friend, then I may be able to consider a friendsh-…NO!!' Harry could not believe his thoughts. 'Yes it would be good to have Malfoy on our side…but I'm gonna have to be clever. Get him to Dumbledore then make sure he doesn't think I'm his friend. Because then he'll just be another person for me to kill whether I like him or not. I cant be his friend.'

"Come in Severus my dear boy." Dumbledore called. Severus stormed in and stared the Headmaster straight in the eye.

"You have a secret don't you?" He growled, hopefully the old man would tell him about it this time around, so he could forgive him.

"Everybody has secrets my dear boy." Dumbledore chuckled. Completely oblivious to what Snape was on about. Severus glared daggers at the man. The onyx eyed man smirked and whispered in a very deadly tone,

"Care to tell me what this incantation means then? Vita aegrescere absque causa voluntas adesse hodie, mortuus ante tempestus, Venire! Vivere hui!" Dumbledore had paled a little more with every word. He had nothing to say. So Severus continued, "well Voldemort told us it meant, Life taken without reason will be present today, dead before time. Come! Be alive, now!" Severus stared at the old Headmaster waiting for a response.

"My dear boy," Dumbledore tried to wave the outburst off, "Voldemort probably lied to you." Severus' face hardened.

"He showed us the spell at work…Dumbledore he bought somebody back to life, and your not going to like who it was." Severus sat down 'Time for me to do my job.' He explained everything he had seen whilst at the meeting.

Harry decided to get out of bed before the other's woke up. He had a shower and headed to the Great Hall. Once there he spared a glance up at the teacher's table. He saw Dumbledore and he did not look well the mans age was truly showing. Harry just shrugged it off and sat at the very end of Gryffindor table. He felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. He looked up at the table again to see a pair of onyx eyes staring straight at him. He quickly looked down, 'how embarrassing' he looked around the Hall, only to see Ron sitting next to him. He almost jumped out of his skin, almost.

"What do you want?" Harry sneered.

"G'morning mate." Ron smiled and began eating his breakfast. Harry just ignored him and began eating his breakfast. 'Why was Snape staring at me? Was it with ill intentions? No I haven't got potions today. Then again his look was rather…calculating…nah just imagining things, got to be!' Harry threw another quick glance at the potions master, 'eating and not staring, good!'

Severus had been watching Potter since he'd entered the Great Hall. 'What is it Potter? Why have you changed? Was it Black? Oh god you of all people deserve to bring somebody back…wait? No, no, no, no, no! I did not just think that! I'm trying to figure him out, not empathise with him!' Severus was too busy with his inner battle to notice that he'd been staring at the boy. Before he could tear his gaze away, Harry's emerald eyes met Severus' onyx ones. Severus couldn't stop looking at him 'those eyes…' thankfully Potter looked away first, 'is he blushing?' He quickly got rid of that thought.

Draco walked into the Hall slowly. If he said he was tired that would be an understatement. He'd been up all night thinking of what he could do to get away from Voldemort and his bloody Dark Mark. He'd come up with two plans,

One: Take the mark and become a spy.

Two: Go to Dumbledore for protection.

He actually preferred plan two so he would see the Headmaster as soon as possible without it looking suspicious to any of his fellow Slytherin's 'Potter will come in handy there arrange a duel, surely we'll taken to Dumbledore for the whole animosity between houses thing.'

Harry got up and headed to the Owelry. When everyone began to enter the Great Hall, Harry took it as his queue to leave the room. He called to one of the schools owls, the note he wanted to send already written and in his hand. After tying it to the Tawny Owls leg she flew off. Hedwig flew over to him and huffed, well the best an owl could huff.

"Sorry Hedwig, I needed to send a note to somebody and if they saw you everyone else would get suspicious." He gave her an owl treat and headed towards the Transfiguration classroom.

Ron was talking with Hermione, he knew Harry had done this for a reason and was trying to talk Hermione into forgiving him.

"Listen you know Harry, he'll be doing this for us. He has never been like this before. You know that." Ron argued, man Hermione could be stubborn.

"Well he shouldn't have said those things to me!" She huffed.

"He said worse things to me Hermione! You're supposed to be his friend just like I am! I can tell there is summat wrong and you refuse to believe it! Shows how bloody smart you truly are doesn't it?" Ron whispered heatedly. Hermione stared at him shocked then she stood and gave him a good hard slap across the face. Then she stormed out of the Great Hall. Ron just mumbled "They said that I was the stubborn violent one." And went back to his breakfast. Just then mail arrived.

The Slytherin table broke out into laughter as Granger left the Hall.

"What's the matter?" Blaize shouted, "Wouldn't she shag you Weasley?" The tables cheered at Zambini's comment. Draco was too busy reading his letter from his mother.

Draco,

You have probably been expecting this news for a while, your sixteenth is coming up soon. I will do as your father promised and will collect you from Hogwarts the night before your birthday.

Mother

He paled, he needed to see Potter and soon! He needed to get to Dumbledore. The owls left the Great Hall. Draco just stared at the letter. 'What do I do? I can't believe this!' Draco started to panic, a Tawny owl entered the Hall, everyone stared as it headed straight for the blond Slytherin. 'Another note? What this time? My father has escaped Azkaban?' Draco took the letter, trying to stop his hands from shaking. The Tawny flew away.

Malfoy,

You wanna know what's wrong with me? Well I don't trust you…meet me at the third floor corridor tonight and I'll see whether or not you're trustworthy enough.

It hadn't been signed but he knew who it was from, it was obvious. 'Harry Potter.' He began to calm down. 'I will get him to trust me, he will take me to Dumbledore, I will be safe…and also I'll get a new friend. I hope.' Draco smirked, stood and left the Great Hall heading for Transfiguration.
