Authors Note: Wow, I'm so sorry for abandoning this. Though, it's not really abandoned since this is an update. Yea, there is a long story as to why I didn't update much sooner, when really I had wrote this chapter the day after my last update. But anyways, I'm not abandoning this story, just got bored of typing, so here it is chapter 3 of Life As We Know It, Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't profit from this fic, if I did, I would've updated a lot sooner.


"You're a Wizard Potter, must I say it again?" The man said in an annoyed tone. "So your relatives never told you? Hmm, I must speak with Dumbledore about this."

"I don't believe you. My Uncle told me magic isn't real. This is just some mean nasty trick that my Uncle thought up, and I'm not falling for it!" Harry replied angrily at the man. Harry wasn't going to fall for this trick, his Uncle was probably just testing him out, and at any moment his relatives would appear and say Boo! But on the other hand, Harry was a little reluctant to believe what the strange man was telling him, he had thought about his life so far and of all the strange things that seemed to always happen to him.

"I don't care if you don't believe me Potter, matter of fact I don't care about you at all. But I happen to know that many people happen to care about the 'Boy-Who-Lived', so you'll be coming with me. I just so happened to be running late for a get together with my family, and I'm afraid I don't have time just yet to return you to your family so you'll be coming too. It just so happens that my family might kill you if they knew who you were so I'll be disguising you with a few spells. From now on until this dreadful reunion is over you will be known as Aaron Stone, and a friends child that I tutor during the summer."

With that said, the man reached in his robe and pulled out a strange looking stick.

"Wait!" Harry screamed at the man, trying to absorb all of the sudden information entering his 8 year old brain. "I don't understand, first you say I'm a wizard then what's this about me as the 'Boy-Who-Lived?' And what about a get together? I don't want to go to a family reunion! I don't want my name to be Aaron Stone! I don't even know who you are!"

"I don't care what you want Potter, the fact of the matter is you are coming with me now. Now, stand still boy."

The man then started waving the stick in some strange movements, then Harry started feeling a tingling sensation on his head and face, then his whole body started getting warm. Looking down in amazement he saw that the strange man made him about 4 inches taller and slightly chunkier. His clothes were also different, instead of his usual raggedy t-shirt and torn jeans, he was in a splendid black robe that was similar to the one the strange man was wearing. Underneath the robes he wore a black suit that looked very expensive.

The man studied him for a moment then replied with satisfaction,

"That will do Potter, I don't think anyone could possibly recognize you. Now, the spells will ware off in approximately 4 hours. I don't expect we will be there longer than that. Now, From now on you will address me as Professor Snape, or sir. Your mother's name will be Voyin Stone, and your father's name will be Tyler Stone. You have known me since you were 5 and I have been your personal tutor since then. You will not talk to anyone without my permission and you will not leave my side at all when we get there, do I make myself clear Potter?" The man said studying him with those cold black eyes.

"Erm. Y-Yes Professor Snape."

"Good, we will be leaving now, hold on to my hand tightly or there will be only pieces of you left where we are going."

Wit that Harry felt a sudden jerking sensation and heat seemed to be spreading all over him. Harry was frightened; he did not want to be there with that man at all! After about 2 moments Harry landed on the ground hard. Letting out a cry he let of Snape's hand and fell to his knees on the ground.

"Up Stone, we're here."

Harry then looked up and saw a magnificent sight; right in front of him was a huge castle lit up with loads of people inside. Harry then got to his feet and started walking towards the castle with Snape, wondering what next was going to happen to him on this strange day.


AN: Yea, this is about AU now, it's AU to the 6th book because I'm not going by Snape's parentage. Sorry it took so long to update and that this chapter is a lot shorter than the others, I promise the next chapter will be longer.
