Author's note: In case you are not a Superman fan, to understand this chapter you will need to know that Superman has an alter ego known as Clark Kent. Clark uses phone booths as a place to change into his Superman outfit.

Author's note 2: This chapter often contains the word 'Harry' in single quotes. This is meant to imply that it is really Snape, but appears to be Harry.

Operation: Mr. Fuss

Classes were done for the day and it was time for him to begin Operation Mr. Fuss (Money, wardRobe, Food, Unlock-able door, Socialization, Security, all for one Harry Potter). This was his type of mission, sneaking about, pretending to be someone he wasn't. Too bad it was Potter he was going to have to pretend to be. His skin crawled at the thought.

Moments earlier Snape had apparated to a side street off Diagon Alley. Snape crossed the street, making his way to the floo booth, Bond music playing in his head. The floo booth had been installed about 40 years earlier by a half-blood who thought it would be useful for the wizarding world to have an equivalent to the muggle phone booth. As Snape entered the dark paneled both his theme music switched to Superman. Clark Kent pulled Harry's hair from his pocket and dropped it into the vial of polyjuice potion. The pain was incredible as he shrunk and morphed into the appearance of Harry Potter. Clark cast shrinking spells on his clothing and pulled a pair of glasses from his pocket. With the change complete the theme music switched back to Bond (duh, dun dun dun, duh, du dun du duh duh duhn du). Agent 009 exited the booth and made his way to Gringotts.

'Harry' approached one of the goblin tellers. "I'd like to obtain a debit card that I can use in both the magical and muggle world."

"Name?"

"Harry James Potter." Ugh! That was hard to say. "I can't believe I'm pretending to be Potter," thought Snape.

The goblin reached into a draw and pulled out a card. "Key?"

Snape reached into his pocket and pulled it out. That had been another fun adventure, sneaking into Gryffindor Tower and rummaging through Potter's things to find the key.

The goblin took the key and placed it on the card. Harry's name appeared on the card.

The goblin squinted at 009. "All purchase made with this card must be made by or for the benefit of Harry James Potter."

"I can still buy presents for my friends, can't I?"

"Harry can buy presents for his friends." The goblin responded, emphasizing Harry.

Agent 009 felt like pouting and stomping his feet as he went to the door, "Bloody, observant goblins. How'd he figure me out?" pondered Snape. But he had to keep his cover so he didn't stomp or pout. He strode like he owned the world.

Agent 009 put a mental check mark next to the M (Money) in Mr. Fuss. Snape raised his hood, so The Boy Who Lived wouldn't be recognized, then 'Harry' ventured off to the muggle world to purchase some clothes.

After reaching Charing Cross Road Snape removed his robe. Underneath he wore black slacks and a black button down shirt. Luckily, there was a clothing store not far from the Three Broom Sticks. He went in and headed for a rack of dark shirts. Snape held one up to 'Harry's' body. Too small. Another one. Too big. A third. Just right. (What was this, Goldilocks?) Snape looked at the tag and found the size, then grabbed several others of the same size: black, green, blue, black and green striped, blue and green striped. If Harry wanted any other colors he'd have to purchase them himself. Then he saw a Star Wars shirt with Yoda on the front levitating Luke's space ship. Snape snagged that one too.

'Harry' went over to the trousers section. There was no way Snape was going to change clothes while in Potter's body. Lifting pairs of trousers up to his body he found one that looked like it would be only slightly too large. Harry could wear a belt until he grew into them.

"Wouldn't you like to try those on?"

It was a sales clerk. Agent double o nine's heart rate went up. It was time to perform. "Actually, I'm buying these for my cousin. He is near my size, but not an exact match, so trying them on won't really help."

"Oh, why are you shopping for your cousin?"

"He's staying with us for a little while, but the airport lost his luggage. He doesn't like planes and isn't feeling too well, so mum sent me to get him some clothes."

"Well that's nice. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"No ma'am."

Crisis evaded, 009 finished the clothes shopping, shrunk the purchased items and mentally checked off R, wardRobe. He then took another swig of polyjuice, so he could maintain Potter's appearance, for the sake of using the debit card. Then he re-put on his wizard robes and lifted the hood. He'd only lower it if someone wanted to verify his ID when he used the card.

'Harry' made his way back toward Diagon Ally and headed to Aeolus Magical Appliances. "I'd like to purchase a mini fridge." He told the wizard behind the counter.

"Ain't you a bit young to be purchasing appliances?"

Snape raised an eyebrow, "I can afford it, so what's it to you?"

"No need to be rude, now. Just a bit odd seeing someone your age in here. What is it you're needing this for?"

"I want it for my room. My mum is a horrible cook. I want to be able to order food and have it appear in it. That way I can have something that taste good, but I won't have to hurt my mum's feelings by eating something else in front of her."

"Alright then, let's see what we've got. This model might work for you. It is made to look like a one drawer dresser and can easily slide under a bed. It's called the Dieter's Secret Treasure Box. You can choose to have it open and show only your clothes or press this button and it will show you the food. One of its features is an account with Edesia's Cafe Diem. A menu will appear in the food section each day. You just tick off the items you want and put the list in the drawer and shut it. About ten minutes later your order will appear in the drawer. It has an apparition charm on it you see, so whatever you put in it will appear at Edesia's and whatever they put in the mate of this drawer will automatically appear in your drawer."

"What kind of food is on the menu?" Snape was concerned that the Dieter's Treasure Box would only send sweets.

"Soups and sandwiches mostly," replied the salesmen, "Though once a day there is a hot meals selection and one desert comes with each lunch and dinner."

"Sounds good. How much?" They haggled over the price for a bit, but eventually a satisfied 009 exited the appliance store with the Dieters Treasure Box shrunk in his pocket. The F (Food) in Mr. Fuss was ticked off.

U (un-lockable doors) was next. 'Harry' entered Nuts and Bolts and made quick purchases of a dead bolt and an un-dead bolt.

SS (socialization and security) would have to wait for another day. Snape needed to be getting back to the castle. Agent 009 thought operation Mr. Fuss was going quite well so far. Making sure no one was around, 009 re-entered the floo booth. The Superman theme song began (duhnnn, dun, dun, dun, duhnn, dun dun) as Clark resized his clothes and waited to morph back into Snape. Once the change was complete Snape apparated back to Hogwart's gate and returned to the castle.
