Hello, a very short chapter to commemorate my new laptop which is now connected to the net too!

With HUGEthanks to all those who reviewed chapter 12:

methoslover,

sandrilene lily potter: I'm not gonna even comment on what you wrote jen,

Liam Commins,

Opal: yep, there's a reason why Peeves calls Lupin 'Loony'! (if that's not canon, sorry) Also, I see Lupin as being a helpful person so this is how I show it.

and Sarah R Potter.

Thank you soo much, you have no idea how much the reviews count when I'm working on more chapters or spurring me on to actually putting pen to paper and stopping being a lazy tv critic!

And now (dun dun dun) on with the chapter:

Chapter Thirteen

While Harry was in the kitchen making delicious home-made carrot soup, Moony was in the living room painting the walls. To some it might seem strange, but not to Moony because he had smelt a recent scent of Harry in the living room and as he saw the room was prepared for paint, he knew that Harry would return to that room sooner rather than later. And after finishing two walls, lo and behold Harry walked in, blinked in shock, and walked back out.

Harry's POV

He looked at the shut door in front of him, and then turned his head to view his surroundings. 'Yes' he thought, 'this is my new home'. Then a few seconds later, 'what on earth is Moony doing here? I didn't tell him I was here. Must have been Dumbledore'. And so fortifying his resolve he walked back into his living room.

End of POV

"Harry, how are you? Are you liking the States?"

"Hi Moony. I'm fine and you? Yes, I am very much thank you. Not as many people recognise me over here."

After a short pause, Harry continued.

"Sorry to be blunt, but what are you doing here Moony?"

"Harry, Harry, Harry it appears you've caused quite a stir. A person not many would think of with you in mind, flooed me to find out where you were. He seemed to be genuinely worried about you."

Just then an alarm went off inside the house. Harry, not knowing what it was, and what the cause of it was, looked frantically around the room, contemplating what it was and how he could stop the awful racket it was creating.

Luckily Moony told him it was just an unauthorised person trying to enter the fireplace via floo. Moony muttered a password, allowing the person to come through the floo and surprise, surprise, it was the very person he had just been speaking about: Professor Severus Snape, Former Deatheather and the current greasy git of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"Why am I not surprised?" murmured Moony.

Feeling the tension rising rapidly in the room, Moony decided to lessen it by leaving, and giving the two some space to sort out their problems.

"Harry" Snape winced, "if you need me you know where I am. I'm going to give you two some space. I think you need it." And with that he left.

"What are YOU doing here?" Harry asked coldly.

Snape replied, "You are my son. I have every right to be here."

"Oh yeah, because you were soo happy to accept me before I left. When you refused to acknowledge me as your son, you lost the right to be here."

"Alexis, I am truly sorry for that. It was a mistake. I thought you were being like James and pranking me. I was under the impression that you had died with your mum, Marcia."

"And when have I EVER played a prank on you? Exactly, Never. Now please get out of my house. I want you gone by the time I get back, otherwise I will forcibly make you leave."

And with that final remark, Harry walked out of the room, and went back to the kitchen to eat his now ready soup.
