THIRD POV
Harry wakes up to see Professor Snape crouching over him with a potion in his hand
"It's a calming draught "Professor Snape said tiredly
"Thank you sir" Harry said
Harry drank the common draw and felt a sense of coolness and relaxation throughout his body and muscles. Harry wanted to ask Professor Snape about the shadow man inside his dream but he shot the thought down. Professor Snape was wondering what got Harry so worked up while he was sleeping but he thought it was best not to ask that as Harry had a rough day yesterday. Professor Snape was thinking of going to confront Dumbledore today. He also concluded that he wasn't on any side dark or light he was on the side that would let him protect Lily's boy.
Professor Snape and Harry his new schedule as a Slytherin, of course all of his classes with Gryffindor and Slytherin together. Harry knew that he couldn't trust Headmaster Dumbledore. But it hurt inside because he saw him as a grandfather figure for a while, Harry realized he hadn't come in contact with his Godfather Sirius in a while but he assumed that he was okay for now and that Sirius would contact him when needed.
The first class Harry had today was Defense against the Arts with Professor Moody. But first Harry had to go to breakfast so he asked Professor Snape what time breakfast was today.
"Professor Snap-"
"Call me severus when we are alone Harry" Snape said suddenly
"What time is breakfast today Severus?" The name rolled off of Harry's tongue as he asked Snape the simple question, Harry concluded he liked to say Severus's name
"In about 5 minutes so get ready" Professor Snape said wit
Harry got out of bed and made sure Ebony was with him, he changed into his new surprisingly soft Slytherin robes. When Harry finished changed he saw Professor Snape walk into the room and he wasn't wearing his usual robes (ikr absolutely shookith)
Professor Snape was wearing his usual black flowy robes, but underneath them he was wearing matte black jeans with a loose black button up long sleeve shirt. At that moment Harry realized Professor Snape had a nice body. He looked like he had a considerable amount of muscle and a flat stomach, with nice biceps and- woah Harry looked at Snape up and down and realized 'What am I doing, why am i checking out the most hated professor at hogwarts'
"Lets go Harry we can't be late for breakfast" Professor Snape said eventually
Harry and Snape left the dungeons and entered the Great Hall, People gasped at Snapes new appearance, because HE ALSO PUT HIS HAIR IN A PONYTAIL SHOOKETH I KNOW. Harry sits down by Draco and grabs some food to put on his plate, Harry looks up at Snape and winks at him. Snape winks back causing Blaise and Draco to take immediate notice.
"What the bloody hell happened last night" Draco interrogated
"Okay so, since they are adding an extra bed to your dorm, im staying with severu-" Harry covered his mouth once he realized his mistake
"Severus?!" Draco, Blaise and Pansy shrieked in shock
"He let you call him by your first name?" Pansy asked joining on the conversation curiously
"The shocking thing is he asked me to," Harry said while taking a bite of his mashed potatoes. Draco, Blaise and Pansy's mouths were agape causing Harry to chuckle
"I also had to sleep in the same bed as him" Harry added, causing Dracos eyebrows to practically hit his hairline, Blaise started making suggestive eyebrows at Harry and Harry shot it down quickly
"We didn't do anything geez" Harry squeaked out with a blush forming on his cheeks
"He healed my injuries" Harry added quietly
"Harry who gave you them" Draco asked
"You can trust us" Pansy added and Blaise nodded
"My relatives" Harry whispered
Fury lit up in Draco's eyes
"My father will be hearing about this, those filthy muggles how dare they lay a hand on you" Draco spat
"Your father works in the ministry doesn't he?" Blaise added
"Harry you can meet with Draco's father and Amelia Bones to be removed from the Dursleys" Pansy explained
"Really?" Harry asked with a new found smile
"Yeah" Draco answered
"I will mail father and try to get back to you around dinner Harry" Draco added
"Thanks" Harry patted Draco's back in appreciation
Breakfast ends, Harry , Draco, Blaise, and Pansy walk to Defense Against the Dark Arts
Professor Mad Eye Moody and the DADA professor this year. The teaching position that is supposedly cursed.
(they will be learning about the unforgivables in two weeks)
The four enter the classroom and sit down in their seats
Ron and Hermione sat on the far left of the room
Blaise and Pansy sat at the table on the far top right
Draco and Harry sat in the middle front of the classroom
Neville and seamus sat behind Ron and Hermione
Before class started Ron was glaring and sneering at Harry but Hermione had an apologetic face, Harry looked away and waited for the lesson to start
A man with grey hair, prosthetic eye, limped into the room and yelled
"CONSTANT VIGILANCE" which startled a couple of the students, especially Ron and Neville while Hermione rolled her eyes
"Always be prepared for an attack no matter what" Professor Moody started
"Today we will be learning about a Patronus, who can explain what a Patronus is"
Harry's arm shot up faster than Hermiones
Harry knew the answer and practically everything about a Patronus since Professor Lupin personally taught him.
"Yes " Professor Moody of course picked Harry
"A patronus is a projection of positive magic that protects you from dementors, a non-corporeal patronus is more like a white mist and vapor while a corporeal patronus is your soul animal, it's more clear, glowing white and less misty." Harry explicitly explained
"10 points to Slytherin" Professor Moody rewarded
"Now can any of you cast a patronus" Mood slowly asked with a eyebrow up
Harry slowly raised his hand
"Please demonstrate for the class Mr. Potter" Professor Moody dragged Harry to the front of the class
Harry closed his eyes and thought of a happy memory, the man in the shadows appeared in his head, the warmth of the hug brought a sense of euphoria to Harry
Harry whispered the incantation and swirled his wand
"Expecto patronum"
A bright glowing whitish blue stag bursts out of the tip of harry's wand, huge antlers
"Its bigger this time isn't it harry" Hermione suddenly speaks out
"Yeah i guess it is" Harry responded without realizing it was Hermione who spoke
"The happier the memory the stronger the patronus, and sometimes it can be bigger" Professor Moody added
The stag ran around the room a few times, it huffed when it passed Ron, when it came back it nuzzled Harry's head and snorted, Harry pet the top of its head as it started to become more misty and disappear. Harry walked back down into his seat and let Draco pat him on the back
"Oh also 20 points to Slytherin for the perfect demonstration" Professor Moody added
The class went by quickly, only a few could get their patronus right,
Hermione's patronus was a Otter
Draco's patronus was a White peaCOCK
Blaise's patronus was a horse
Pansy's patronus was a fox
The next class was potions
The four got to potions quickly and very early, like 10 minutes early.
Harry sat down on a seat near Snape's desk and Snape immediately spoke up
" may I ask what you are doing" Snape sneered
"I am sitting down because my legs hurt" Harry said innocently
"Poor you get up, now." Snape sneered even more but it didn't affect Harry anymore
"Aw but why?" Harry pulled his puppy eyes out and those killed Snape
Professor Snape shook his head and sighed, He sat down in his seat and worked on students assignments, Harry eventually got up and paired with Draco for today's Potions assignment.
Today they had to make the pepper-up potion
The ingredients were
Two pinches of crushed bicorn horn
Mandrake root
Three sprigs of English thyme
Five drops of salamander blood
Four fire seed
Everyone entered the classroom and Professor Snape started to talk
"Today you will be brewing the pepper-up Potion, instructions are on the board,follow the instructions carefully, do not screw this up"
Part 1
Add 1 piece Bicorn Horn to the mortar
Crush into a very fine powder using the pestle
Add 2 pinches of the crushed Bicorn Horn to your cauldron
Add the Mandrake Root to your cauldron
Heat on medium for 10 seconds
Leave to brew and return in 3minutes
Part 2
Add 3 sprigs of English Thyme to your cauldron
Stir 4 times, clockwise
Add 5 drops of Salamander Blood to your cauldron
Stir 2 times, anti-clockwise
Add 4 Fire Seeds to your cauldron
Let set for 1 Minute
Harry and draco were working quickly, Draco grabbed the ingredients and Harry was preparing them. Harry was good at preparing the ingredients because o years of cooking. Harry was watching the potion simmer for 10 seconds on medium heat and then turn off the heat for 3 minutes.
Ron and Hermione were struggling, Ron didn't crush the bicorn horn into a fine enough powder so the potion started to thicken up too much
"I expected much more from you " Professor Snape walked around and commented on everyone's potions and he started to make his way to Harrys
Harry and Draco were already on the second part of part 2, Harry was stirring the potion and Snap noticed he was stirring too quickly, so stepped up closing behind Harry and Harry became beet red on his face. Snape grabbed Harry's hand and instructed him with the correct speed
"Like this" Snape whispered in harry's ear, Harry could feel his chest on his back, and he could only mutter
"Thank you Professor"
Draco started snickering one Professor Snape walked to another potion to critique. Draco started whispering to Harry
"What was that about?"
"To be honest I have no clue" Harry whispered back with a small smile on his face
Suddenly professor Snape yells
"20 points from gryffindor for exploding another cauldron"
Class ends and Professor Snape asks Harry to stay behind
" please stay behind" Harry motions to Draco that he will meet them in the great hall for lunch. Everybody leaves the classroom and Harry walks up to Professor Snape
"What is it Severus?" Harry asks softly
Snape hands harry a note from dumbledore
"Its from Dumbledore, he wants to meet with you during lunch" Professor Snape said with a sneer
'Don't look into his eyes Harry' echoed in his head
"Thank you" Harry muttered
Harry made his way to Headmaster Dumbledore's office
He looked at the note
'I really like lollipops'
Harry said lollipops to the gargoyles to open the staircase to Dumbledore's office.
Harry entered the office and saw Dumbledore sitting down and his phoenix(fawkes)sitting on his perched stand
"Hello my boy" Dumbledore started, Harry felt ill inside hearing Dumbledore calling him 'my boy'
"Hi Headmaster" Harry said back quietly
"Harry i think it'd be best if you move back to Gryffindo-" Harry cut Dumbledore off
"No thank you, i like Slytherin a lot. I understand your concern but no" Harry looked at Dumbledore's nose to avoid his eyes
"Okay Harry, that's all i wanted to ask, you may go" Dumbledore said with clenched teeth
"Thank you sir" Harry mutters
Harry makes his way to the Great hall and sits down next to Draco. Harry didn't feel hungry anymore and hoped no one noticed. Draco starts a conversation
"So what di want?" Draco said while snickering causing Pansy to giggle and Blaise to smirk
"Dumbledore wanted to speak to me" Harry responded while playing around with the food on his plate
"He said that he thought it'd be a good idea if i were to move back to Gryffindor, so I said no"
"Wait, he wanted you to leave Slytherin?" Blaise said shocked, Harry nodded
Dumbledore walks through the Great halls doors and announces
"Today's afternoon classes will be canceled due to preparation of the Triwizard tournaments Goblet of Fire, so please stay in your dorms and have a nice evening" Dumbledore then walked out of the Great Hall
Everybody got up and left except Harry because he had to wait for Snape
"Come harry" Professor Snape motioned as they walked out of the great hall
As Harry and Snape were walking next to each other Harry and Snape's hands touched causing Harry to look up at Professor Snape who continued looking forward.
They reach Snape's Private quarters
"Remember this password, giglio" Professor Snape said quietly
'Italian' Harry thought absently
The two walk inside and see Hedwig on Professor Snapes desk
"Hedwig?" Harry asks, the bird flies towardsDemands on the shoulder to give him the Red Envelope
Professor Snape was looking at him especially the envelope Harry realize that he had just received the howler
"A howler?" Harry muttered
Professor Snape's stepped in and warned Harry " think about it first if you want to open it Harry" Harry nodded and ripped open the red envelope, it morphed into paper mouth with sharp paper teeth and started yelling
"HARRY JAMES POTTER HOW DARE YOU GET SORTED INTO SLYTHERIN, YOUR PARENTS WOULD BE ASHAMED, STAY AWAY FROM OUR FAMILY" Harry had tears forming in his eyes
"Is that Molly Weasley?" Professor Snape asked Harry
Harry nodded with his hand on his mouth. Professor Snape walked over to Harry and handed Harry a hot chocolate
"Thank you" Harry muttered, Professor Snape sighed and then asked a question
"Harry why didn't you eat your lunch"
Harry froze and looked down at his cup, Professor Snape yelled out a name
"Mitsy!" A house elf popped up
"Bring us a plate of food please" Professor Snape asked Mitsy, Mitsy nodded and aparrated away only to come back in a split second with a full plate of food
"Thank you mitsy, you may go" And she left
"I'm not hungry Severus" Harry said tiredly, Snape's eyes hardened
" if you don't eat this food I will shove it down your throat" Snape said in a baritone voice, It was intimidating and dominant sounding
Harry gradually started eating slowly and eventually finished at least one half of his plate
Harry lied down in bed trying to not think about how his only family that welcomed him and 'cared' about him had already shunned him
Harry drifted asleep, and this time he didn't have a dream. Harry woke up feeling dreadful and sad. Professor Snape was working at his desk grading potions
"Finally awake harry?" Professor Snape asked with a tired voice
"Yes" Harry said in a choked up voice, he felt horrible
"It's time for Dinner and the other schools are arriving today" Professor Snape said as he got up and motioned to Harry who was standing.
The two walked into the Great Hall, Snape joined the standing teachers
Harry sat down next to Draco with a small smile on his face
The school Durmstrand walked through the doors, many girls started fawning over Victor Krum
Then Beauxbatons entered and Harry watched the Veela Allure affect Ron and Draco
Dumbledore revealed the Goblet of Fire and explained the age line and how it worked, next week the champions would be revealed and Harry had an even worse feeling in his stomach. The other schools left to where they would be staying and everyone started to eat
Harry tried to eat Dinner but couldn't keep it down so he ran outside the Great Hall and into the nearest Boys bathroom. Harry was hunched over the toilet emptying his stomach of everything. Harry ended up passing out on the ground but thought he saw the man from the shadows right before it all went black. Harry woke up back in Snape's private quarters, Snape handed him a calming draught and a stomach reliever. Harry drank those motherfkers as fast as possible due to the horrible taste of them. Professor Snape lied down next to Harry with a book in his lap. He started to stroke Harry's hair which caused Harry to fall asleep.
The shadow man was right in front of him, he put his hand on Harry's cheek and Harry craved more touch. Harry felts at peace when with him, He asked the shadow man a question
"if i'm not allowed know who you are then at least give me something to call you" Harry said desperately
The shadow man nodded and walked closer up to Harry, He leaned down to kiss Harrys head and then his cheek, his lips wandered to Harrys left ear and nibbled causing Harry to take in a quick shaky breath
"You can call me, the half-blood prince" The shadow man whispered
"Harry wake up!"
