A/N2: - Snape is Harry's point of view
Severus is Snape point of view with him referring to Harry as Potter or boy

Previously in Chapter 1

The voices went quieter has Harry stranded to hear what they where saying but it was no use. Harry was drawn into conversation with Dudley with him boasting about his boxing at school. A few moments later Uncle Vernon re- entered the kitchen with someone following behind.

Harry's mouth dropped when he saw his Potions Professor.

Severus Snape smirked at the boy's reaction. "Good morning, Mr Potter."

Chapter 2 - Deal with the devil or saviour?

"Pro.Professor Snape?!" Harry just stared at the potion master. Harry thought Snape would have been the last person to walk though that door and now he has. What was the man trying to do, send him to Azkaban?

"Eloquent as ever, Potter" Snape smirked

Aunt Petunia cleaned away the plates when the dark stranger entered he kitchen. Uncle Vernon walked over to Dudley gave him thirty pounds and whispered something in his ear. Dudley walked at of the kitchen making saw to keep his back end away for the stranger and left the house.

"Would you like to have a seat Mr. Snape?" Uncle Vernon offered

Snape walked over to the chair next Harry that Dudley had just left and took a seat. Aunt Petunia brought over a tea pot, four cups and some milk and sugar. She and her husband then took a seat with Vernon next to Snape and Petunia next to Harry.

Harry looked between his uncle and professor wondering what the hell is going on. "What's going on?"

Severus had not taking his eyes off the boy since he walked into the room. Potter was still skinny as ever and had dark rings under his eye from luck of sleep. Potter probably hasn't been practicing his Occlumancy.

"Mr. Potter, I'm here to make a offer with you." He said, ignoring the refreshments on the table.

Harry looked at him sceptically "What kind of an offer?"

Severus raised a brow at the boys caution. At least he wasn't as trustful as his father.

"The offer, Mr. Potter, is that I have been fired by the new Minister of Magic because of my background and you have been banished. I offer to adopt you and take you away to another country where they may except you into another school, since the law is that you are only banished till you finished school. I will also help you with you occlumancy and teach you self defence in the dark arts so the Dark Lord so you will not be killed in the second you face him."

Harry ran it though his head. It sounded like a good deal though being adopted by Snape wasn't a pleasant thought. But what was Snape's end of the deal?

"And what do you want from this deal, sir?"

Severus looked straight into the boy's eye when he said his end.

"In return from you, if you agree to the adoption then you will drop the name Potter and take up Snape. I need an heir and by the looks of things I want be getting one anytime soon. So in the long run that works out for me."

Harry just looked at Snape with distrust. Just to become the greasy git's heir he would offer this. There's something wrong there.

"That's just it. I become your heir and your willing to help me back into the wizarding community." Harry said in a scornful voice.

Severus glared at the boy. Imprudent Spoiled Brat. "If you want all the details, with helping you back into the community, your also helping me get back at the ministry and get my job back. There's no hidden meanings. No black details. Just the plan simple facts."

For the first time since entering the threshold he looked away for the boy and stared out the window. Talking to the boy was brings up a lot of un- leased anger.

"You can either take it or leave it. It doesn't mean anything to me either way."

Harry ran it over. It was a good deal and if he was excepted into a school then he would be able to be with his friends again. And all he have to do if except Snape's name. Now that was terrible.

Harry sighed deeply and looked back at Snape who was know looking out the window. Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia look at Harry eagerly for his response.

"I except." He said quietly.

Severus looked back at the boy who looked to have made a hard decision.

Severus nodded "Well then go collect your stuff and put it in the hall while your guarding work out the paperwork.

Harry nodded and left to pack, wondering if he just made a deal with the devil.
