The moment Snape and I finished our little discussion he told me we were going to go to Headmaster Dumbledore. I just smiled and followed because I had no intentions of allowing Snape to punish me again.
When we reached the castle Snape turned towards me and calmly stated, "We are not going to have any more temper tantrums are we Mr. Potter?"
I shook my head and he told me the best thing for me to do was to just answer any questions Dumbledore might have and that even if it came down to it he would become my guardian just to get me away from my so called home. I was stuck in the middle between confusion and being horrified because I couldn't help but wonder what Snape would do to me if I was his "son".
We got to the gargoyle and Snape stated in a clear and precise voice "Candy Canes."
We stepped into his office and Snape explained to Dumbledore the entire reasoning of me leaving the Dursley's for good.
Dumbledores face just went completely blank and said," I am afraid their is only one alternative."
I sat in my chair as I watched the elder man's twinkle in his eyes when Snape looked at him curious and replies in the most respected tone a person could ever expect out of a greasy slimeball like him, "What might that be Albus, we find him another home?"
Albus sat up diligently in his chair and goes, "Severus, my boy, you know I wouldn't trust just anyone with Harry. But the alternative I had in mind was that you adopt him yourself."
A dreary silence occured at that point in time but it all broke when Severus announced, " I gracefully accept, anything to keep young Mr. Potter away from them abusive muggles, not to mention he will manage to stay out of mischief because if he doesn't he will find out that it will not be tolerated whilst he is in my care."
I just stood up at this note and replied harshly, "If you two are done discussing MY LIFE I would like to give you my viewpoint on all this wonderful news."
Before Dumbledore could answer me Snape goes, "Mr. Potter, what did I say about your temper tantrums. Do we need to have another discussion or would you like to a cooperative little boy and let us decide about your future?"
I shook my head and looked at the floor and sit down while Snape still managed to pierce me with his stare. "A verbal answer would be nice."
In a semi-respectful voice I reply, "Yes Sir."
"So anyways Albus when would the adoption papers be ready to sign."
Professor Dumbledore's eyes twinkled as he replied, "The latest would be tomorrow afternoon, Severus."
At that note Snape said, "Good Afternoon Albus, come child."
I looked at Dumbledore and waved and followed Snape into the fireplace to return to Spinners End once again.
