Chapter nine- Talks and thoughts
"Whatever..." Damien murmured as Malfoy drawled away on his opinion of letting 'filthy mudbloods' attend school with purebloods who were the 'ideal wizard.' Everyone was just finishing up their food and the Welcoming Feast was almost over. Damien was supposed to meet with his father to discuss his classes after the feast.
"...and what's with that jumped up Granger? Someone should put a leash on the mudblood, always tagging along with Weasley and Potter......of course now that Potter's abandoned them they don't act so tough anymore without their ringleader telling them what to do..."
Damien clenched his fists under the table. After the Sorting Ceremony, Dumbledore had announced that he (Harry) had gone off to do some secret training. Damien personally thought that the headmaster could have came up with a better excuse....
One thing was that all of his friends could still owl him as to not raise suspicion of Damien Snape's sudden arrival and Harry Potter's sudden disappearance, but by Hedwig only. Dumbledore had ordered the owl only to drop off the letter in Harry's room (Slytherins, unlike Gryffindors got their own room) so he could respond to them. The hardest part was that Damien knew he would have to change his handwriting for classes.
"....and half-bloods whats the deal with them?! They don't belong with us either! They may be part wizard but they still have filthy muggle blood in them..."
Damien glared at the blonde. "I am a half-blood I hope you know!" he said coldly. Malfoy stopped talking immediately. "Y-You are? Well-"
"Excuse me..." he said coolly and got up a couple minutes after his father had, he felt eyes watching him, as if expecting him to suddenly take out his wand and jinx them all.
Damien walked out into the Great Hall to see his father waiting for him. Snape nodded jerkily to follow him and Damien obeyed silently as they walked down to the dungeons. They entered Snape's private rooms and Snape froze.
Suddenly he whirled around, pulled out his wand, and shouted, "Legilimens!"
The whole thing had taken less then five seconds but Damien, who had learned to always be on his guard over the summer, was ready for him. Damien braced himself as the spell hit...
He was thirteen and Aunt Marge was floating up to the ceiling, her dog barking while Uncle Vernon was shouting.....
Damien squeezed his eyes tightly shut and concentrated so hard that his head hurt, he was getting very good at Occlumency but his father was practically giving it his all making it all harder.
It was during this past summer, his father was smiling at him...actually smiling for the first time, they had been making the Dreamless Sleep Potion and Damien had gotten it right for the first time...his father had looked almost proud.....
Damien felt a surge of happiness flood through him at the memory of his father looking at him with something akin to pride (which hadn't happened once since that time) and concentrated even harder, he wanted to make his father proud of him at least a little....
Damien focused and could finally make out his father staring at him, muttering under his breath, Damien yelled, "Stupefy!" (a/n did I spell that right?) and they were suddenly standing in his father's private rooms again.
Snape stumbled back, nearly loosing his balance. They were both panting at the energy it had taken, though Snape wasn't as drained as Damien was....
Severus nodded in satisfaction toward Damien, "Better.....but you still have some work to do... I want you here every Wednesday after dinner alright?" Damien nodded. "I also want you to continue clearing your mind every night...." Damien nodded again.
His father straightened his robes that had become slightly rumpled and stepped up to his desk. He nodded to the chair across from it and Damien gratefully sat down, suddenly feeling very drained.
"Well that was unexpected.....I expected Gryffindor or even Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw but......Slytherin?" his father looked slightly amused at Damien's blush.
"Er...ya...well in my first year....the hat wanted to put me in Slytherin and I thought it might be suspicious if the head of the Slytherin house's son was put in Gryffindor so I let it....."
Severus' eyebrows disappeared in his hairline and Damien had to laugh at the shocked expression that was rarely seen on his father's face. "Well....that's certainly unexpected" Severus murmured thoughtfully.
Damien felt a slight warmth inside of him. At the end part of the summer, he and his father had had to spend more time together for Occlumency and teaching him how to control his emotions (so they wont show on his face). His father and him had also dueled, and, to Damien's surprise, the man had also taught him some jinxes and hexes that would be useful in a duel. Mostly Damien and Severus (as he had called him over the summer since 'professor' was to formal and Severus would kill him if he called him 'father') had seemed to have formed a silent truce and had actually formed a kind of.......well.....friendship, you could say, after all, you couldn't help but form a friendship with someone who you had seen fourteen hours a day for almost a month who just happened to be your father.....
Severus had been almost...nice to him ever since the meeting with Dumbledore and it made Damien feel comforted by the fact that his father was actually trying. Of course, Severus also had to change his attitude toward Damien during class, I mean, who would be as cruel to their son as Severus was to Harry Potter?
"Okay, I've got you down for Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Potions, Herbology, Charms, and Care of Magical Creatures......"
Severus glanced up. "You may trade COMC for another subject" he said quietly.
Damien thought for a moment....well he never really liked COMC anyway....he only stayed in it for Hagrid but now since he wasn't Harry Potter he could take whatever class he wanted....
"I think I'll take Ancient Runes (?), it sounds interesting and I'm sure it'll come in handy for being an Auror, plus I'll have it with Hermione..."
Severus nodded and marked out COMC and put Ancient Runes in its place.
"Don't forget though, Damien, it may look weird if you are all chummy with Harry Potter's friends...we don't want to give anyone any reason to suspect..."
"Ya ya I know, I know..." Damien murmured. "I don't think they'll be suspecting me anytime soon though.....I 'met' Ron, Hermione, and Ginny on the train..."
His father looked up, an odd expression on his face. "Well.....how did you do?"
"Good, I was more sarcastic and rude but I didn't act to awfully bad....." Damien trailed off and Severus' smirked faded, "What?" he asked looking at Damien carefully.
Damien swallowed, "Ron acted as if I were Voldemort....."
"Don't say his name!!" Severus snapped furiously and Damien flinched, shrinking back slightly. Severus sighed and rubbed the place between his eyes wearily. He had forgotten about his son's reaction to harsh or yelled words (which he knew why Damien acted that way). Severus knew that those 'relatives' that Damien had lived with had beaten him (well his Uncle and cousin had) and it pissed him off to no end. He had talked to the boy over the summer and had gotten little info out of him.... He wanted to know what that bastard had done to his son!!
Severus really wasn't sure what he felt about Damien, once he had gotten to know him....the real him, he had grown.....fond of his son... Not like he was ever tell the boy that though! Then again he was Harry Potter, his most hated student wasn't he? But when it came to something like someone laying a hand on his son it made him furious and he swore that one day he would get that bastard back for what the muggle had done to his son....if only Damien would let him that is...
Severus still acted rather harsh to the boy but he really didn't know how to act around his son.... But whenever he thought that someone was harming Damien, it made him feel angry...very angry and protective, as if he should always make sure that nothing bad ever happened to the boy...(not that he was going to tell the boy how he felt)
But...but he hated him didn't he? His feelings for the boy would never change just because Damien was his son would they? But he found out that the boy wasn't really all that selfish and was nothing like his fath--James Potter....
"Severus?" Severus was torn out of his thoughts as he looked into worried green eyes that were now closer due to the fact that the boy had leaned across the desk in concern.
Of course Severus didn't blame him....he hadn't moved for about five good minutes....
Severus cleared his throat, "I apologize Mr. Pot-Damien"
Damien ignored the slip and nodded slowly as he looked at the floor, "Its okay Severus..."
Severus sighed, "You know you will have to call me 'professor' or 'sir' in front of everyone else so don't slip up, okay?" Damien nodded, smiling slightly.
"Well, I'll escort you to the Snake Pit..."
"The Snake Pit?"
"That's what we call the Slytherin Dorms..."
Damien nodded and the two walked out.
They walked in silence and stopped at a stone wall.
"The password is 'pureblood' Good-night Damien..."
"'Night Professor....Severus"
Severus showed the smallest flicker of a smile before turning around and stalking away without a glance back at Damien.
Damien took a deep breath and stared at the wall. "Well, here goes nothing, pureblood!"
The wall slid into itself and Damien walked into the Snake Pit for the first time in four years....
() okay what'd you think? I hope Sev or Harry wasn't OOC or anything cause I kinda wanted to make them a tiny bit closer.
Well review please!
Till next time!
