Chapter 3
New home
Harry just starred at the greasy-haired git in front of him, paralysed. Snape smirked and turned away.
Harry couldn't help it.
"Oh. My. God."
Dumbledore waved his hand in front of Harry's face when he saw he hadn't moved for a while.
"Harry, Harry.. Earth to Harry. Harry, come in. Over"
When Harry didn't respond Dumbledore turned to Snape and said in a calm voice:
"Severus, I think it is for the best if you just start driving and roll up the 'partition'(1) so I can wake him from the shock"
Snape just scowled at the boy through the rear view mirror and started driving, and the 'partition' was rolled up.
When Harry respond to the black 'partition' either, Dumbledore grabbed his wand and swished end flicked it, in front of Harry's face, while he muttered the incantation
#Wingardium Leviosa#
Harry felt the glasses started to leave his nose and shook his head while he grabbed them.
"OK, OK.. I get the point, are you trying to give me a heart attack today?" Harry asked hysterical.
Dumbledore just starred dumbfounded at Harry "…" unable to answer, but Harry wasn't waiting for an answer, he just asked (still hysterical):
"You've got a lot to explain, old man. What the hell is Snape doing here, and what's this rubbish about him being my NANNY, and your HOUSEKEEPER.? Like helloOo…"
Now Harry was breathing fast, he couldn't understand why he had just said that, but he couldn't make himself apologize either. He was so confused, and maybe a bit angry 'cause Dumbledore hadn't warned him about Snape earlier.
Finally, Dumbledore seemed to understand what Harry had just said, and he started to answer (sort of)
"OK, OK, I get it. Just calm down a bit, so I can answer your 'questions'. Now, where shall I begin..?"
"Why don't you just start on the beginning?" Harry said with a voice dripping of sarcasm.
"Excellent idea, my boy… A few years ago Severus was on a vacation in Las Vegas. He spent all of his money, and more so, on gambling in a casino called Merlin's Palace. He got himself a huge dept, and borrowed some money from some goblins he befriended there. The only problem now was that he owed the goblins the same sum instead, and as you might remember, Ludo Bagman had a similar problem a few years ago. Well, on with the story, Severus one day came to me and asked me for a bigger pay, but unfortunately the school could not, and we still ca not, afford it. We came to an agreement that said that he was going to be my housekeeper in the summertime, so he could do a bit of my laundry, housecleaning, and off course, some other things as well, but we do not talk about it now," said Dumbledore and turned a light shade of pink.
"OK," said Harry. "Now you've answered two of my questions, but how the he…" Harry stopped in the middle of the sentence when he saw the look Dumbledore gave him when he started cursing.
"Ehm… how did he become my NANNY?
"He is a very nice man, deep inside, and as you may have seen at school, he takes good care of children –" Harry just stared at Dumbledore in disbelief, but wisely kept his mouth shut. "- and as you know, Voldemort is after you. Who do you think is going to come after you and save you when he finally manages to kidnap you? I can not, I have a bad toe.."
Harry just sat there, staring at Dumbledore while the word sunk in.
"Riiight!" he just said, and stared out of the window for the rest of the trip.
When the limo finally started to slow down Harry started to pay attention to the neighbourhood they were in. It was a lot of big, expensive houses on both sides of the street, but Harry wasn't surprised. A wizard like Dumbledore was bound to be rich and live in a house like one of these while he wasn't at Hogwarts; therefore he was surprised when they stopped in front of a horrible, little shack.
It wasn't much bigger than the cupboard he had lived in at the Dursleys the first ten years, and it looked like it would fall into pieces bye a little gust of wind. The garden didn't look much nicer than the "house", it was a lot of overgrown grass with garbage everywhere and a lot of other disgusting things Harry didn't want to look at. The fence surrounding the garden looked like it was older then Dumbledore himself, and it looked like it needed a lot of reparations, no, it looked like it had to be replaced.! The top of the cake was the rotten tree in the middle of the garden, which looked a bit 'confused' since it had no leaves as if it thought it was winter, while it was in the middle of the summer.
"You live here?" Harry asked bewildered
Dumbledore answered, his eyes twinkling merrily, "Yes, indeed my boy… Welcome to your new home"
A/N:
Finished! We have no idea when the next chapter I up, 'cause Luna have some Danish guests arriving, and we've got a lot of homework (nearly 40 maths exercises that has to be finished by week 7.) well.. see you soon (we hope)
Reviews:
SeulWolfe: No idea!
(1) We've no idea of what it's called either in Norwegian or English… It's supposed to be the black(?) roll up-thing in taxies and limos... The 'wall' you can pull up if you want some privacy in the backseat (Not that way, though!!)
