Chapter 3

after eating dinner I was escorted to the Slytherin dorms. I had read about the founder of Slytherin house and knew that it had turned out more dark witches and wizards than any other. After bringing my bags up to the dorm, I wandered down to the common room. It was almost empty except for a few people. I sat down in a comfy chair by the fire and stared into the flames.

I felt someone's eyes staring at me and turned around to see who it was. My eyes met a pair of grey ones. I couldn't look away. I didn't want to look away. I didn't know how long we were staring into each others eyes. But all of a sudden I was staring into the ugly face of a girl who looked like a dog.

I leaned back to get a clearer view and almost gagged. The girl was hideous, like nothing I had ever seen before. I could see the anger in her eyes and didn't really understand it, unless- Naw! Why would he date such an ugly girl?

I turned back around to the fire, still feeling the girls eyes glaring into my back. After about five minutes of this I decided to go find Snape. I hadn't gotten a chance to talk to him yet and I really wanted to get this over with as soon as possible.

I walked out of the Slytherin common room and walked down the hall. I realized I had no clue where Snape's room was. So I just took the nearest staircase. I ended up in front of a portrait of a fat lady.

"Password please." She sang.

"Um..." I began when I was interrupted.

"Chocolate frogs."

I turned around and came face to face with the boy-who-lived.

"What are you doing here?" He asked looking at me confused.

"I'm looking for Severus Snape."

"Why?"

'Boy is he nosy' I thought as I tried to come up with an excuse.

"I have to ask him about...vertasirum."

"Why?"

"None if your business. Can you just tell me where to find Snape?"

"Dungeons, portrait of Slytherin." with that Harry walked into Gryfinder tower.

'What crawled up his ass?' I thought as I headed down to the dungeons.

I found the portrait easy enough. I knocked briskly on the portrait and waited for Snape. I didn't have to wait long for him to open the door but I was surprised at what I saw.

He looked so different. He was no longer wearing his long black robes but muggle clothes. But the biggest change was his hair, it was no longer greasy but soft and clean.

"Well don't just stand there, come in." he said in an irritated voice.

He stepped aside and I walked into the room. It was done all in black and there was a fire burning in the fireplace, but somehow it was still cold.

I sat down in a chair after a few seconds of taking in my surroundings. I saw Snape hesitate before sitting down stiffly in the chair across from me.

"Did Dumbledore send you down here?"

"No I- you're my father."
