Harry's p.o.v.
"Let me just use the bathroom first." Snape's face flicked nervously but changed back so fast I could have sworn I had imagined it. Yet Snape waved his hand in a gesture that told me to go ahead.
I ran up the steps as fast as I could go, knowing the greasy git wouldn't want to wait. But when I reached the bathroom, out of habit, I looked into the mirror. To say I was shocked wouldn't even come close to what I felt; I leaned in closer to my reflection, positive I was seeing things.
My usual short, unruly, black hair now reached the middle of my back and was straight and smooth with faint streaks of green that matched my eyes. My eyes…they looked like the type of eyes any girl would kill for; although they were the same color as always they were now brighter and seemed full of emotion and my eyelashes had lengthened and thickened. In the commotion I must have forgotten to put my glasses on but now I can see fine with out them. My facial features seemed more sharp and aristocratic. While my jaw line and cheekbones were strong...but a good strong. Unfortunately, I seemed to be four or five inches shorter than last night, which made me groan, I hate being short! But the weird thing about my body was that my legs and torso were now very long, which made no sense since I had shrunk. By now I was only standing in my boxers, looking at my all-new body. Turning around I caught a quickly glimpse of a shimmering glitter on back but when I went to look again I couldn't see it. Strange… I finally took a full view and realized I reminded myself of someone… I let out a high-pitched squeal and darkness took over.
Narrator's p.o.v.
Silence echoed through the house after Harry's body collapsed to the ground.
"Well aren't you going to do something?" Snape snapped at the horse-faced woman who sauntered into the kitchen as if she did not hear Harry faint.
The Potions professor made a throaty growl and stormed up the stairs with his usual billowing robes. When he made it to the bathroom Harry was already starting to come to. Snape helped the boy off of the baby blue bathroom floor tiles and sat him on the closed toilet.
"Professor… umm, c-can I as you something?" Harry asked, timidly.
"You want to know why you look differently." The Professor replied in his arrogant tone, "That's why I've come for you. But I think it best that I let Dumbledore explain."
"Sir, I think we both know that Dumbledore is going to go all twinkle-eyes and give me a long-winded answer of which would only barely skim the point." the corners of Snape's lips quirked at Harry's look of knowledge.
"Hmm, well that is true. But it will still be better if you find your answers from him. As much as I hate to admit it, there are some things about your new appearance that I just can't answer." Snape answered with exhaustion apparent on his face.
"Like how I kinda look like you?"
Snape's eyes widened at that comment but it was obvious how Harry could see it…hell even he could see it!
"It's time to go." Snape said.
We walked across the hall to Harry's bedroom; Snape was eyeing the numerous amounts of locks on the door along with the cat flap.
"What are these and what are they for?" Snape sneered after his question thinking they must be something expensive and lavish for Harry to have it.
"Umm," Harry started looking down in embarrassment, "their muggle locks. They are designed to keep someone or something in and in order to get that thing out you either need a key or a combination, or a code." Inside Snape was confused.
"And this?" The potions master pointed to the small cat flap at the bottom of Harry's door.
Harry looked down again, "That's a flap. It's normally used for animals to get in and out of rooms on their own."
"But it's not here?"
"No, umm, well you see… that's howmyrelativesfeedmewithouthavingtoletmeoutofmyroom."
Snape looked up at Harry's jumbled comment seeing for the first time Harry's bedroom. Not at all what he expected, The head of the Slytherin House was shocked to see a broken desk without a chair, a small wardrobe, and a bed with a sagging mattress that had springs poking out of some spots. On top of the bed was a shabby blanket with a notebook. The last of which was the only proof someone stayed in the room.
"Well, get your belongings." Snape rushed, getting agitated that the Boy-Who-Lived wasn't spoiled with things.
"Ok, well umm, we have to ask Aunt Petunia if she knows where the key is for the school stuff but there are a few things I have up here."
Snape looked around for those things, only to see Harry pushing aside his bed a pulling up a floorboard. Before the Potions professor could ask what Harry was doing, the sickly thin boy pulled out a box and a pillowcase. Harry opened the box first which consisted of a piece of bead, some Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, and a bottle of water. Snape had a feeling he didn't want to know why Harry had a stash of food and was still so thin so he decided not to ask. In the bag however was a Potions Book and Animagus Transfiguration Guide, along with some parchment a beat up quill and a bit of ink. Harry, making sure everything was there nodded to himself then pulled out a leather bound photo album. As he stood up with his few belongings, after he closed up the floor and moved his bed back, two sheets of paper fell from Harry's photo album. Snape leaned down to pick them up. Severely disturbed by what he saw. On one sheet of paper, either a very unskilled artist or young child, had drawn a little boy with black hair, a lightning bolt shaped scar, and green eyes laying on the ground in the fetal position while two very large males, one shorter than the other, and one very thin female pointed at him with words coming from their mouths. The only one Harry had spelled right was 'FREAK'. Harry flipped the paper over, that held another drawling by the same young child only this time the raven-haired boy had a mother and father holding his hands and they were all smiling. He looked at Harry who was staring at his feet before moving to the next sheet of paper. Here was a highly skilled drawn picture of a young man who was obviously Harry laying on the ground while many people were glaring at him; Severus could even recognize some of the people… there was Dumbledore, Voldemort, Ron and Hermione, Hagrid was in there too but he wasn't glaring at Harry, the same as Draco and Lucius Malfoy and also himself. While Hagrid had a smile the rest of the non-glaring group wore a face of indifference. There was no picture of a family on the back of this one. Snape looked up at Harry in a whole new light.
"I have more things down stairs." Harry stated.
Once, Snape effectively unlocked the lock on the cupboard under the stair and Harry removed his trunk placing the items from his room in it, Severus then pulled out a silver chain necklace, which was a portkey, ending the trip. Harry grabbed half and immediately felt the familiar tug on his navel.

The dingy kitchen of 12 Grimmauld Place was practically empty of any persons or activity. At the table, with his hand folded gently on his lap sat Albus Dumbledore in chartreuse robes and a black pointed hat with lime green stars. His blue eyes lightly sparkled beneath his half-moon spectacles. On the other side of the room, leaning on the corner of two connecting cupboards was a pale skinned, blonde wizard of whom was wearing black trousers and a gray, button up, collared shirt with cuffed long sleeves.
Both jumped slightly when two people appeared, the smaller one falling forward, only to be caught by the blonde. Harry opened his eyes when he didn't feel the pain of his face connecting with the wooden floor, realizing then that he had comforting, strong arms wrapped around him. As he righted himself he looked at his savior jumping backwards, straight into Severus.
"L-L-Lucius Mal-Malfoy?" Harry looked around to find a quick escape, sighing when he saw Dumbledore getting up from the kitchen table.
"Calm down Harry, calm down Harry. It's quite all right, you are perfectly safe, I assure you. Please, come sit." Dumbledore said.
Harry complied, wanting to know how he could possibly be safe. "Now Harry, this may be hard to believe," Dumbledore began, "But Lucius Malfoy has been a spy for the Order for over two years now. You-"
Dumbledore was cut off, "WHAT?" Harry screamed.
"Shut up brat and listen to the Headmaster." Snape threatened.
"Harry, Mr. Malfoy is a spy whether you come to terms with it or not but he does concern you."
"How? And while were talking about abnormal occurrences will someone please explain to me why I suddenly look like this!" Everyone stopped and looked at Harry. Dumbledore's twinkle grew, Snape sneered, and Lucius smiled.
"That can all be explained Harry, not to worry. It's a slightly difficult subject but to put it simply your rich. You're richer than richer…Merlin your richer than I am." The senior Malfoy replied. Harry looked to Dumbledore for answers.
"You see Harry, when Sirius went through the veil," Harry's eyes started to tear, "He left only one living will which stated that you… get everything. The vaults, the estates, even the house elves. The only problem was the Black Family Edicts state that only a person that was either the Black heir or someone that was officially left with everything and that also had the Black lineage could inherit that the fortune. Since you have no Black blood in you, Sirius cast a spell on his will, so that when it was time for you to inherit was he left you, you would become part nymph. Since the Blacks and Elemental Nymphs have mated for centuries, that gave you enough blood to give you access to the fortune." Remus Lupin had been listening to the conversation but decided to make his presence known and give Harry the straight answers.
Harry gave Lupin a huge smile and a hug before stating, "That still doesn't explain what Mr. Malfoy has to do with me."
"Actually it does Harry, You have an immense amount of power so I'll be your new teacher…" The blonde wizard said, his voice drifting off at the end.
"Plus, he's your mate."
