Snape didn't usually agree to chaperone on the train, but Albus talked him into it saying it would be a good idea for Harry to have someone on his side there, so here he is with a shadow in the shape of the boy. "Harry, I would like you to sit down as being in the presence of me a lot is going to make your term difficult." "Okay, sir." Harry sat down next to a bushy haired girl. "Hermonie Granger." "Harry Potter." Harry shook her hand. "I read all about you and Neville." "He killed my parents!" Harry shouted before curling himself into a ball as green showed in his flashbacks. "I'm sorry." Hermonie stated as Harry calmed his breathing. "It's it's, I'm scared." "Well, you're here now. So you can protect yourself!" Hermonie stated excitedly. "I can protect myself with abnormalities?" "It's called magic and yes."
The hat started singing and Harry was out the door. "I'll get him." Snape stated before rushing out of Hogwarts after his charge. After an hour, Snape met Hagrid who was carrying a struggling and crying Harry. "This lad was in the forbidden forest. Frozen as a board."
"Thank you, Hagrid." Harry was given to Snape. "I will take him to Pomfrey."
"He can't stay here." Pomfrey was scolding Dumbledore, "He won't last a day. He's so afraid of magic, anytime he sees it, he goes into fight or flight." "I guess I'll see if I can make arrangements to homeschool him." Snape spoke up, "Albus if I may, I wouldn't mind homeschooling the boy. Someone employed by the ministry may go too fast since he's one of the chosen ones."
"What do you suggest I do about potions, Severus?" "You'll have to find a substitute and teach it yourself until one can be found. Harry needs a guide who knows both the muggle and magical world." Snape glared at Dumbledore, "Who can handle your missteps slowly."
Dumbledore, near faltering under Snape's glare agreed and made arrangements with Ms. Figg.
