Harry Potter stood nervously in front of the Headmaster, who was in deep concentration.
When Harry had arrived at the Dursley's house at the end of the school year, he found it empty. Not empty as in nobody's home, empty as in they've even taken the carpets with them. Harry hailed the Knight Bus and arrived back at Hogwarts within a few hours.
"There is only one professor, aside from myself, that is staying at Hogwarts this summer. I won't be staying here much longer either," Dumbledore smiled at Harry.
"Yes, Sir," Harry nodded. "Which professor is still here?"
"Severus. He doesn't feel the need to leave this year," the headmaster chuckled. "Come along. He is in his quarters."
Harry hung his head and trailed behind. This was just his luck – he gets away from the Dursley's only to be doomed to spend the summer with Snape.
Harry groaned aloud but regretted it when Dumbledore stopped and turned to him.
"Severus isn't that bad, Harry. You just need to get on his good side."
Harry nodded. "The only way I can get on Snape's good side is if I let him kill me," he mumbled.
Obviously Dumbledore had heard because he laughed quietly. Surprisingly, he led Harry upwards instead of down to the dungeons, where Harry expected Snape to live. A few minutes later they arrived at a statue of three goblins on a rock.
"We're here," Dumbledore announced.
Harry looked at him oddly.
The headmaster muttered a password and the statue moved slowly to one side. He saw Harry hesitate. "Follow me, please."
He followed Dumbledore through the archway. There was another door which opened automatically as they approached.
The first thing Harry noticed was Snape. He was asleep in a chair with his legs draped over the side. There was a book resting on his chest, which was half revealed with the open shirt.
'At least he's still wearing black,' Harry though. It was very odd seeing Snape without his robes, let alone like that.
Dumbledore stopped himself laughing at the students shock. It wouldn't do to have Severus waking to him laughing. He would assume he is the butt of a joke. 'He's so paranoid!' "Severus," he whispered.
There was no answer.
"Severus," he said a bit louder.
Snape woke up with a start. "Headmaster?" he said groggily. Then he saw Harry. "What's he doing here?" He covered his chest with as much subtlety as possible.
"They Dursley's have moved without our knowledge. I have business to attend to so Harry will be staying with you for the summer." He turned to leave straight away.
"Hold it!" Snape commanded. "The boy ins not staying with me!"
"Severus, I'm afraid you have no choice in the matter. There is no one else."
"But-"
"I must get going," Dumbledore cut in. "Do make Harry comfortable, my boy." He stopped again when he reached the door. "Nice shirt the way. New?"
Snape scowled as Dumbledore disappeared around the corner.
I know, I know. Not very original but I couldn't help myself.
Please review and tell me what you think. That way if nobody likes it I won't put them through the torture of another chapter.
