Easy Way Out
Chapter 5
As the two men turn to face him, Salazar wonders whether the old man will even listen to what he has to say. It seems pretty obvious that he severely distrusts him, though the cause of which is entirely baffling. Salazar takes a deep breath before saying…
"Excuse me, but I couldn't help overhearing your dilemma. Might I suggest including me in the conversation, seeing as I might actually have a say as to what happens in my life."
The Werewolf takes that moment to shoot the Old Coot a look. He then looks back at me and says, "You are right of course. I apologize. I was just discussing with Albus how it would be best if you came to stay with me until we can figure out what happened. My house is much more inviting than the hospital wing, and I thought that you would be more comfortable there with me."
Salazar thinks for a minute. The Werewolf…Remus seems very nice and definitely willing to help me. Plus, going with him would give me a chance to get out of the clutches of this evil old man, who I am sure would just love to do experiments on me. That decided I say…
"That is most generous of you sir. Thank you. And perhaps the two of us can work together to figure out the cause for my ending up in the body of, who was it again?"
"Harry Potter, like you didn't know," Dumblebore or whatever said suspiciously.
What is it with this guy? "For your information, I've never heard of Harry Potter. Nor do I appreciate you treating me with such hostility. True I may be in the body of this kid, however impossible that may seem, but that gives you no right to talk to me in such a manner. Now my mind is a little fuzzy on what happened to me while I was still in my own body, but I do remember my friend, Godric, and I going into battle against my bastard of a father, the Dark Lord. I remember killing him and than…I don't remember anything else really. Strange, I know there was more. Why can't I remember?" Salazar ends in a whisper.
After hearing that, even Dumbledore is shocked into silence.
AN: Sorry it is once again so short. I'll write longer next time. So…What did you think? Is it starting to get interesting? I have so much planned for this story. In the next chapter, Snape will make his appearance and Salazar will finally move in with Remus. Oh this is so exciting. I hope you all enjoy it! Please review!
