AN: Hi all k I want to thank my first flame .. well it sounded like a flame so what ever I now get to rant!
The 1st complaint was that this story is AU
Well duh it's AU if it weren't it would be the actual book and then I could get sewed for plagiarism and all that junk! All stories are going to be AU some more then others but their all AU. If they weren't there would be no point in reading the stupid things! I mean really who would want to read the books (which are the only things that aren't AU (until the sixth book anyway)) over and over again by different people? NO ONE! Also the summary would lead you to believe that this is one of the more AU stories as it mentions Harry is part of a secret organization which he isn't part of in the books making it AU. Please tell me people have some form of common scene. Also there is the ultimate if you don't like it no one is forcing you to read it. (this is a rant I kinda have wanted to have for a wail, so much so I was considering giving it even without provocation. But I had a lovely flamer that decided to make it so I didn't have to)
Also if I use something that has been used before either I came up with it myself or I read it somewhere and don't remember where, all of this is sto…. Borrowed from JK Rowling so if fanfic authors can use the same thing as others you can't get mad at someone for using the same name as you did for something! Honestly!
The 2nd complaint I said the first part of Dumbledors' name is dumb; he's the greatest wizard of all times and that you shouldn't trust him
Well it's true the first part of DUMBledor is dumb weather or not you think he is dumb is a matter of personal opinion, as is weather or not he is the greatest wizard of all times. For my story he isn't unless you count leaving a child in an abusive household and not checking up on him "great" which I don't. Regardless of weather he's the greatest wizard or not you shouldn't trust him with your well being he always has a plan and more plans and back up plans incase those fail, and he will put the "greater" good before your own, again this is open to personal opinion and this is the opinion I will be using for this story. Also there will probably be Ron bashing as well. I'm not sure weather on not there will be Hermione bashing on not depends on what people say and what I think should happen in the story.
These are my opinion, if anyone would like to discuss/argue them I would be more then happy to leave your email or send me a message.
K now that my rant is over (for now)
Disclaimer: No one has come to give me the rights to Harry Potter so we're stuck with a naked mole rat on steroids for a werewolf
Sorry the note took so long and it will be a little more till you get to read the story, but I think you'll like this or at least appreciate it.

Chapter 4 (finally)
Snape and Harry weren't the enemies like everyone thought, they were good friends actually they were good friends. Harry had come to Snape around the end of first year asking for help with a potion, Harry was really good at potions. (Probably something to do with cooking all the time.) They began meeting as much as possible (detentions do come in useful sometimes.) Snape found out how Harry's home life was not what others liked to believe, and he vague recalled mention of something called the SR.
After two mentions of the same organization Snape was willing to believe that the SR was real and the house down the street was only fueling his suspicion. His friend had mentioned the Headquarters was somewhere in London and that they used magic. If that was true the Headquarters probably hadn't moved since no one knew of the organization (they didn't want to know about it) and the house gave off a magical aura.
Snape decided not to tell the Order exp. Dumbledor of his suspicions, he knew Harry didn't trust the Headmaster and neither did he, also he knew that if Dumbledor got his hands on Harry he would probably send him back to the Dursleys'. Snape knew that if Harry had run away there was a reason, a good reason for it. No he wouldn't tell the incompetent fools, but that didn't mean he couldn't investigate on his own.
He got his chance one day when a boy of about 15-20 was approaching the house. Snape snuck up behind the boy and spoke in a soft voice, "If you are a member of what I believe you are you might be able to tell me where a friend of mine is, if not I will leave you in peace but I must know for certain you don't know him first. I am only concerned for his well being, and if you lie to me you will regret it."
"Who are you?" the boy asked.
"That depends on who you ask."
"Who do you want?"
"An intelligent boy who goes by many names."
"I see that we might be better off inside if you will accompany me, you must swear to do no harm to anyone in the house."
"Very well."
The two made their way inside to a parlor. The boy turned to Snape and gestured for him to sit down, as he did so himself.
"Who are you?"
"Severus Snape."
"Who is it that you want?"
"Harry Potter."
"Why?"
"I am concerned for his well being."
"What would you do to him if you found him?"
"Nothing he dose not need or wish."
"Very well you have come to the right place, I will take you to meet Shadow if he doesn't already know you're here."
The boy led Snape down a flight of stairs and to a door in a corner. The doors were of dark red wood carved simply with the design of a rose with a serpent wrapped around it. When the boy opened the doors it was to an office with a desk in the center pilled with neat stacks of papers, around the room were many bookshelves full of large old looking books and random trinkets. On one wall there was a door and out of that door emerged Harry.
"Hay Jess what you doing escorting nice people to my office?"
"Figured ya needed a bit of company and me and 'Manda are to busy with our own work."
"Thanks, yes make sure you get back to your work I think there will be another attack soon and we will need to be prepared, and you better be glad it was a friend that got you" Harry said dismissing Jess, who smiled back at him as he left, "Hello Severus, what brings you to this humble establishment?"
"I was … concerned when you ran away I wanted to make sure you had gotten somewhere safe, after all the Wizarding World would have a heart attack if they found out you were dead. Also I like knowing things the Flying Turkeys don't."
"Yes their activities of late have been very amusing haven't they. How did you find this place?"
"Two clues and a lot of hopeful guessing."
After that the two talked for a while, then Snape when to go explore (with strict instructions not to mess with anything) wail Harry finished his work. After dinner Snape when home with the promise to return, that he wouldn't tell the Order was a given.
Yay another chapter I know. Anyone who wants to beta I would be happy to have one (and the chapters would probably get posted faster) leave your email or something, if you really want you can go back over the last chapters and proof read those.
Reviews make me post faster … as do threats … flames will give me a chance to rant which is fun; honest concerns though are another story.
Questions:
Do you want Harry to be on good terms with Draco?
What about Hermione?
