Chapter 1

A Visit from Snape

It was quiet.

This was a rare occurrence. Because although the Dursley's normally didn't speak to Harry, or even acknowledge his existence, there was usually some kind of hustling or bustling going on at their home.

Harry lay on his bed with the lights off. The Durleys had gone out. He didn't know where, he didn't care where, but, they were gone. Which was certainly an improvement.

Harry lived in a house located at Number 4, Privet Drive, with his Uncle Vernon, his Aunt Petunia, and his cousin Dudley. Dudley had recently taken to having loud parties at night, while Petunia and Vernon were in bed. But there was no blasting music now. It was quiet. And for the very first time Harry had a chance to just think. It was only two week earlier that so much had happened. He'd lost his Godfather, and his whole life changed. Because two weeks earlier he had fought the wizard that every wizard feared, so much so, many couldn't even say his name. He had led five other underage wizards into a pointless trap and lost his Godfather because of it.

Wizard…There's a word you don't hear often. At least in this neighborhood, where anything even mildly abnormal was treated like leprosy.

Tears rolled down his cheeks as he sat there in the dark. It was his fault Sirius had died. He looked down and saw a mirror in his hand. Sirius' mirror. He didn't even realize he had it, he thought it was still with his books…

DING DONG!

The loud obnoxious doorbell to the Dursley house had been rung. Startled, Harry sat bolt upright.

DING DONG!

Slowly, Harry got up and out of his bedroom. He stepped quietly down the stairs, paying careful attention not to step on the one that squeaks. He walked up to the door and looked though a small window outside. He didn't believe what he saw. For at that very second, Snape was standing outside his house. For a moment he leaned against the door, silently debating with himself as to whether or not to open it. He did.

"Hello, Potter," Snape snarled.

"H-Hello, Professor," Harry Began.

"What am I doing here?" Snape asked. "Just because you're not at school doesn't mean you shouldn't continue Occlumency lessons."

Harry Was stunned.

"Yes, I know how you came to be in the department of mysteries, Dumbledore's told me all about it. And has…forced…me to come and continue your lessons." He made a sort of smacking sound with his lips, as though thoroughly annoyed at something. "Well? May I come in Potter?"

"Uh…I…S-Suppose" He couldn't believe he'd just invited Snape in to the Dursley's home.

"We need a space," Snape walked into the living room and muttered something. All the furniture flew against the walls. "Good."

Cautious, Harry followed into the empty Living Room.

"I'm sure you remember how this works. Do you have your wand?" Snape Asked.

"Yes, I…" He pulled it out of his back pocket thinking that Moody would surely have a fit if he saw this.

"Good," He paused and checked his watch. "Ready now?"

Harry nodded.

"1...2...3! Legillamens!" He shouted.

Harry was off! He ran down the Chamber of Secrets to Rescue Ginny. He Saw Fawkes Burning up. Peter Pettigrew was begging not to be killed. Sirius was falling through the veil. Bellatrix was laughing her heart out! And suddenly he was in a place he had never seen before. It was a cave. But a Giant Chandelier hung from the ceiling, covered in Golden Candles.

"Potter!" Snape snapped him back to consciousness.

Harry found himself on the ground…At least this was carpeted.

"I see you have not been practicing. See you in a week, after you've practiced every night!" And with a large CRACK, Snape Vanished.

This was perhaps the strangest thing that had ever happened at Number 4 Privet Drive…

Note: Hi! Trust me, It'll get better. This was just sort of an introduction. The others will be a lot longer! I hope you all like it. Review please. Flames Welcome just be honest! Thanks!
