Personal notes: I am so so so so so so sorry that I didn't get this done fast enough. My internet was shut down until I got my grades back up. Well, I didn't. not yet. I'm currently using my moms computer and risking her being sooo pissed at me. All this for you people. Wow, I must care a lot! =)
OMG! I heard this funny joke the other day. It was hi-larious! If you want me to tell it to you, write me a PM/review and I will reply back with the joke.
But that doesn't mean you still shouldn't write a review!!!!!!!!!
Okay then. On with the story!

Chapter 2
One day, Harry heard a massive boom! sound coming from the front door. Checking to see what it was, along with his relatives, they saw a man with pale skin, black charcoal eyes, black girl-looking robes, and a scowl firmly in place. It reminded Harry of a vampire.
"Where's Potter?" said the man in a silky, menacing voice. Before the Dursley's could answer, Harry stepped forward, just seeing the surprised and shocked faces of his relatives. 'Probably the escort or something,' thought Harry.
The man looked Harry in the eye and said, "My name is Professor Snape, Potions teacher at Hogwarts." Seeing Harry's expressionless face, Snape raised an eyebrow at him said asked, "You do know what Hogwarts is, correct?" He nodded, not seeing Uncle Vernon's furious face, Aunt Petunia's pale, jealous face, or Dudley's bored, but mildly interested expression.
Before anyone could react, Vernon lunged at Harry and pinned him to the wall.
"Who told you about magic boy!?" he shouted. When he didn't answer, he banged Harry's head to the wall and said, "Well! Who-" but before he could finish his sentence, Snape had his wand pointed firmly on the side of Vernon's head.
"Release him or else," Snape commanded in a dangerously quiet voice. Vernon immediately complied, letting Harry stumble before standing up.
"Come, Potter. We're leaving. Unless… you would rather stay here." Snape said, purposely saying 'here' as if it were something disgusting on the bottom of his shoe.
Harry thought about it. 'If I leave, I go to Hogwarts, meet friends, and learn how to do more magic. If I stay here, I get beatings since they finally noticed me, get starved to death, and learn how to control magic by myself more. Well, I know which one I'm picking.'
He gave Snape a 'just a minute' sign, went to the cupboard for his best coat, and came back to the doorway ready to go.
"Come on, Potter. We don't have all day." As Harry walked from the house, he felt something in his chest. Something he hasn't felt in a long time. Happiness.

A/N - Aww! That was so sad! He felt happiness! I can't imagine a day in my life without happiness. If your depressed, than I can make you happy! Well, probably not, but I could try. =)
Thanks to anonymous people who's names I will not say now (they know who they are), I was able to get this chapter finished hopefully without any mistakes.
I know, I know. Not the longest chapter. But hey, I was half asleep at the time!
Okay! Now for the polls!
*What house should Harry be in?*
Slytherin - ?
Gryffindor - ?
Ravenclaw - ?
Hufflepuff - ?
Fresh polls! Come and vote! Trust me, your vote matters to me, the people who are reading this story, and most importantly…me!

Answering Reviews
Atypicalsnowman - Thanks. I got the idea of Harry being mute from my friend. She's one of those 'HP obsessed fans'. I'm thinking more of a Snape-as-mentor/guardian type of story. I don't really like the romance ones. Too weird. I'm trying not to make him to powerful, but at the same time, I want him powerful. Trust me, we will totally see his powers get more… powerful. I was thinking the same thing that you were about the Imperio. It could be like a last resort type thing. But should it be a memory, or should it happen during Diagon Alley? Thank you. I can't wait to write more.
- Thank you. I'll try to update my stories as soon as I can.

Animehplife - Thank you.
Blugrl320 - Thank you. I can't wait to write more.
StoryTagger - Thank you. I can't wait to write more. I'm kinda thinking about that too (about how Harry will handle his classes). I'll try not to make him too powerful, but he will still have a wand.
Fk306 animalize - Thank you. I can't wait to write more.
Jennadancer - Thank you. I can't to wait to write more.
Cessations - Sorry, but it's gonna end all "drama-y" all the time. Just to annoy all my readers. (Yeah, I know. You could hate me. But that won't change a thing ).
§§§ Thank you for everyone else who took their time to write a review. But unfortunately, you didn't make the deadline for me to answer it. Hope you do next time! §§§
(For the reviews, I only answer them if I get them the 1st - 2nd say after I post the chapter, so you better write one!)
