Say goodbye to Harry Potter

Chapter four- How?

Harry sat in Transfiguration completely bored out of his skull. He already knew most of the stuff Professor McGonagall was teaching this year, he had learned it this summer, he'd received a book on his birthday from Hermione 'Advanced Transfiguration and Charms.'

"Mr. Potter am I keeping you awake?" McGonagall questioned an eyebrow raised. Harry, forgetting whom he was speaking to, yawned a response,

"Only just Professor." The class chuckled Harry snapped out of his stupor. "Sorry Professor!" McGonagall's mouth was pressed into a thin line her glare rivalled Professor Snape's when he was forced to help Lockhart in Harry's second year.

"You will stay after class and explain yourself Potter!" She snapped and returned to teaching her lesson.

The rest of the lesson seemed to go smoothly. At the end Harry stood in front of his head of house.

"Mr Potter, do you care to explain? Your actions since you arrived back this September have caused more hostility between your classmates. What is the matter?" McGonagall stared straight into Harry's green eyes.

"Nothing is wrong Professor, sorry about my comment earlier, good day." He turned ad left the classroom leaving a very annoyed Professor behind him.

Severus Snape had been on his way to speak with McGonagall he stopped outside the door when he heard Potter's voice a few moments later Harry walked out of the door. Snape had positioned himself so the boy would walk into him.

"Sorry Professor Snape." Harry mumbled.

"Potter learn to watch where you are going, I need to speak with you be at my office tonight after supper." Snape sneered. Harry just nodded dumbly and walked away. The trademark smirk spread across Severus' lips. 'That was too easy! Now to get McGonagall and Dumbledore know without making my actions seem suspicious.' Snape walked into the head of Gryffindor's classroom and got straight to the point.

"I know you and Dumbledore have been trying to convince me to take Potter," Snape spat the name out "and teach him Occulemency again." Snape sneered at the woman.

"Yes?" McGonagall tried to make the man continue 'please agree….'

"Well considering the safety of the Order and particularly myself I will agree just make sure the brat doesn't interfere with my personal memories again!" McGonagall nodded and Severus left the room his robes billowing behind him.

'Now to deal with the Headmaster, that will be a lot more challenging, he usually reads me like an open book, stupid man Potter shall know about that spell and I will make sure of it!'

Harry's mind was buzzing, he hated having personal chats with the potions master. It usually ended in a very bad slag-match. He sighed 'Divination next…brilliant.' He thought sarcastically. 'At least Malfoy isn't in this class.' He sat down at his usual table hoping Ron would have given up now. 'No such luck!' Ron sat down opposite Harry.

"Hey mate how are you?" Ron smiled. Harry just rolled his eyes at the red-head and turned to face the insect-like teacher.

The lesson passed like every other. He was going to die a most painful death you know the usual.

The rest of the day seemed to pass by quickly after that, he didn't bother going to supper he just headed down to Snape's office to wait for him.

Severus scanned the Great Hall but could see no sign of Potter. 'I wonder if he's trying to skip on our little meeting? Oh well I'll see soon enough wont I?' Snape stood from the teachers table and left the hall.

"Mr. Potter early?" The smooth voice spoke from behind him. Harry just looked at him hiding any hatred or anger behind a careful mask. "Well I suppose there is always a first for everyone, even somebody like you." Snape sneered and walked into his office, Harry followed silently. After five minutes of silence Harry broke the silence,

"Well? Are you going to tell me why I'm here professor? Or are you going to continue staring at me?" He questioned a smirk set on his face.

"Tut tut Mr. Potter, you should learn to be patient. Well you are here because the Headmaster demanded I take you back for Occulemency…we don't want your stupid mistakes killing anybody else now do we?" He knew that was harsh, even for him…but in order to properly find out what was wrong he needed to. Harry just closed his eyes

"No…we don't…" He answered levelly. 'Ah…he blames himself for Black…'

"Well then seeing as you're here now we will begin." Snape walked into his classroom and moved the desks and chairs to the walls. As soon as Harry was standing in front of the Professor he was hit with the spell. Snape saw the death of Black and was then forced out by Harry.

"Rictusempra!" Harry threw the spell straight at Snape.

"Better Mr. Potter…but for Lord Voldemort those precious seconds could have been used to plant another fake vision or extract important information out of you…why do you think Dumbledore is keeping you in the dark as much as possible?" Snape sneered. Harry put two and two together. His eyes widened as he finally understood. 'Perfect…information given without suspicion.' Snape shouted the spell again. Harry couldn't fight him out again. His scar began to burn… 'a vision? Now? And Snape he's here too!'

Snape couldn't believe what was happening, Harry was thrown into a vision and he was there tagging along.

-- Vision--

Voldemort stood in front of two Death Eaters. "Remove your masks." The icy voice ordered. The men pulled their masks off to reveal Malfoy and another Harry had never seen before.

"As you know the spell was successful…Malfoy he wants you to fill him in on history here…I trust your short stay at Azkaban hasn't effected you too much?"

"No my lord, I shall do as you wish." Harry turned to see a man in a purple cloak walking through the doors. Harry's eyes widened 'no…not him…' Harry stared into the face of a man he'd read about in the history books…whose portrait was hung in the dungeons and corridors of Hogwarts.

--End Vision--

Harry pulled out of the vision, he stared at Snape his eyes wide.

"Salazar Slytherin? How?" He muttered before passing out. Snape caught him with a spell and took him into his office. He knew he had to explain what had happened and somehow he had to gain the boys trust to stop him from flying off the handle and doing something stupid.

'Great! I tried to figure the boy out…now I need to befriend him? Only this could happen to me…' Snape poured a glass of fire whisky and sat waiting for the boy to wake up.

Draco had been waiting for Potter for half an hour. 'Typical he chickened out!' Draco thought angrily storming back to the Slytherin common room. But something in the back of his mind was saying something had happened. Draco would find out. He woke the next day with renewed determination.

'Harry Potter today is the day where you listen to me…and begin to trust me!'
