DISCLAIMER: I don't own Harry Potter no matter how much I want to!

LAST TIME:

Severus ran through the door and to the Arabella Figg's house. There he made a portkey for Hogwarts. When he arrived at Hogwarts he went straight to the Hospital Wing.

''Poppy! Poppy! Where are you?'' he called the nurse.

''I'm here! You don't have to yell.'' Madam Pomfrey arrived at the door ''Oh, my god! What happened?'' Poppy said and immediately started to fuss over Harry.

''Well…''

''Well, it all started when Albus asked me to check on Potter!'' Severus proceeded to tell Poppy what happened since the moment he left Headmaster's office.

Somewhere in the story Headmaster came into the Hospital Wing and he carefully listened to Severus's story. In the meantime Madam Pomfrey shoed Severus and Albus out of the Hospital Wing because her patient needed peace and quiet to completely heal.

Next morning, Harry woke up and decided that he is probably in the Hospital Wing. That theory was proven correct when Madam Pomfrey came to check on him.

''Good morning, Harry! How are you today?'' she asked cheerily.

''I feel fine, Madam Pomfrey.'' Harry answered.

''I'm glad to hear that, young man! You are free to go but if you came here before the school starts I'm going to keep you in bed for a lot more time! Is that clear?'' Poppy demanded.

''Of course, Madam Pomfrey!'' Harry replayed.

''OK, Harry. Headmaster wants to see you in his office. Password is Deckard's cheerful gum.'' Poppy told him.

''OK. Thank you, Madam Pomfrey! By!'' Harry said.

Harry exited the Hospital Wing and slowly walked to the Headmaster's office. Once he arrived there he said the password and entered the office.

''Ah, Harry! I'm glad that you are better. Sit down, my boy.'' Albus welcomed him.

''Thank you, Headmaster!'' Harry said and sat down at the chair.

''Harry, since you can't stay with your relatives this summer you'll have to stay with one of the teachers.'' Albus explained to Harry.

''That's fine. So, who will I stay with?'' Harry said.

''Well, Harry, there is only one teacher who is free this summer. Harry, you're not going to like this.'' Albus said.

''Why?'' Harry asked confused.

''Harry, the only free teacher at the moment is Professor Snape.'' Albus said.

''NO! Please, tell me that you didn't just say that I'll stay with SNAPE all summer.'' Harry asked hysterically.

''You heard me correctly. And it's PROFESSOR Snape, Harry!'' Albus told him.

''Yeah, yeah, whatever.'' Harry said rolling his eyes.

''Excellent, Harry! Now, go get ready. Professor Snape expects you in Entrance Hall in two hours.'' Albus said.

''OK. I'll be there.'' Harry said and left the office.

Harry went to the Gryffindor Common Room to pack his things. While he was packing he wandered where Snape would take him. Two hours later Harry was in the Entrance Hall waiting for his professor.

Severus Snape slowly walked to the Entrance Hall. He was still mad at Dumbledore for making him take the boy with him. Finally, he arrived and sneered at the boy before yelling at him to follow.

When they arrived outside, he pulled a portkey from his robes and gave it to Harry. Harry looked at it and immediately started to panic.

''Oh, Potter! Stop that. It's just a portkey.'' Severus said before he remembered why Harry is scared of portkeys.

He put the portkey back into his robes and put his hand at Harry's shoulder. The next minute Severus apparited (spelling?) them and they were gone.
