This is different

Harry spent most of his days doing his chores like normal while Petunia and Vernon kept there suspicious. They had gotten use to his behavior, but still questioned it.

The day before Harry's birthday Harry had gotten up early to cook breakfast.

"Boy do you even know when they are coming?" Vernon asked at breakfast.

"No, sir." Harry said.

"They probably don't want you. They maybe a freak like you, but I bet your worse." Vernon said.

"Yeah, yeah." Harry said. Harry wasn't in the mood for this. He had gotten a hold of avoiding this type of talk from his Uncle.

There was a knock on the door.

"What are you doing sitting there, get the door boy." Vernon said.

"Yes, Uncle Vernon." Harry said, moving to the door.

Harry opened the door.

"Professor Snape?" Harry asked in shock. The older man sneered.

"How do you know who I am?" Severus asked.

"I don't, come in." Harry said.

Severus gave Harry a suspicious look, but came in.

Both walked into the kitchen.

"Uncle Vernon this is Severus Snape." Harry said.

Severus glared at Harry. He had not told Harry his first name.

"Are you the one taking the brat?" Vernon asked.

"Indeed I am. Though I so loathe the part." Severus said.

"Do what ever you want with him. It's no concern to me." Vernon said.

"Snape. Haven't seen you for a while." Petunia said.

"So it would seem." Severus said.

----------------------------

"I think I'm better off having you bring me to Diagonally, then Hagrid. I love the guy, but he's not a spy for Dumbledore." Harry said as they reach the pub to Diagonally.

"How do you know that and you've never met Hagrid before?" Severus said.

"Actually if you want to know the truth…your right. I don't know any of this. I don't know anything about magic, or my parents. My Uncle and Aunt told me they died in a car crash." Harry said.

"A car crash?! A car crash could not kill Lilly and Potter." Severus said.

"That's what Hagrid said." Harry said.

"There you go again Potter." Severus said.

They reached the ally way.

"I'm serious. My Aunt and Uncle…Let's say aren't the most friendly of people. They hate anything magic. They don't know me as Harry, they know me as the freak, boy, and brat." Harry said. Harry knew he had to tell Severus about him from the future, but first he had to prove to him that he was not spoiled or his father.

Severus just glared at Harry.

"I know what your thinking. You think I'm a spoiled brat and that I'm just like my father." Harry said.

"How do you know that?" Severus asked, not looking amused.

"You told me. You've been telling me for about five years now." Harry said.

"Potter I don't even know you." Severus said as they walked through Diagonally.

"See, you don't know, but yet you act like you do. You see me as my father, you always have. If I tell you why I know so much, you've got to promise not to look at me as my father, but as Harry." Harry said.

Severus just stared. He had also stopped.

"And I think you should want to know why I know so much. It's really important." Harry said, calmly.

"Fine. You've got yourself a deal, if you can prove to me that you're not your father." Severus said.

Harry lit up. "You've got yourself a deal. This should be easy, I've trying to prove to you that I'm not my father sense I met you." Harry said.

"But you just met me." Severus said.

"True. My 11 year old self just met you." Harry stopped. He saw a girl in a white, with white hair. Harry ran to her. She was sitting in front of the pet store.

"Potter where are you going?" Severus asked, chasing after Harry.

"Cloey! It's so good to see you again." Harry said. Cloey had gotten from her seat, looked pretty scared a kept her distance. "It's been just crazy trying to get this through and…Oh sorry, you don't know who I am do you?"

Cloey shook her head as Severus showed up.

"Damn I can't do that if I'm suppose to keep a low profile, do I want the whole world thinking I'm…" Harry trailed of.

Cloey stared at the two. She knew them from somewhere. "I've met you before. And you." Cloey pointed at Severus. "Do I know you?"

"Yes. He and Voldamort raised you sense you were two, then you ran away. That's where you met me." Harry said. He had a big smile on his face.

Cloey stared in confusion.

"Severus, you should talk to her and explain, you can't have me do it." Harry stopped. He knew they were close, but they never were pushed any closer. Harry always wanted them to go out, and if he pushed them, then maybe they might. "Severus can I have my key. I want to go get my money."

"No Potter, I need to go to the bank as well." Severus said.

"Well give me some money to get a pet." Harry said.

"Why should I?" Severus asked.

"I'll pay you back. Please Severus." Harry pleaded.

"Fine, but no more then two gallons." Severus said.

"Thanks Severus." Harry said going into the store.

"And don't call me Severus." Severus called.

Cloey was now sitting on the bench again watching the two.

Severus sighed. He knew he have to talk to Cloey eventually, now might as well be the time.

Severus sat down. Severus told Cloey about the death eaters killing her parents, Severus and Voldamort raising Cloey in tell she was two, and Cloey running away.

Harry watched in amusement, for a couple of seconds.

"Can I help you?" The storekeeper asked.

"No, but I am buying something." Harry said.

She nodded and went back to her post.

Harry looked around for Headwing. Then he saw an owl with amber eyes, snow white feathers, and spots. He could defiantly tell that was she.

Harry then looked around. He wanted to get Cloey an animal as well. He knew she had Snowy in the future, but thought she'd be happy with something more different. They he spotted the snakes. Yes, they were perfect.

"Ma'am do you have any snakes with white scales?" Harry asked.

"No. Those are rare to come by." The storekeeper said.

"So are the black ones." Harry said pointing at the two Black snakes.

Harry then shrugged.

So which one of you two wants to go with my friend Cloey? She's great. Very kind and smart. Powerful too. Harry said in Parseltongue.

She seems a bit ingenerate. The lager of the two said.

Don't mind her. She is cranky. Getting old I would say. I know I'm not that old, but I would love to go with this girl.

Great. Harry said picking up his cage.

"That it?" The storekeeper asked.

"Yep." Harry said.

Harry walked out with both animals.

Harry gave the snakes' cage to Cloey, making her jump.

"What's that?" Cloey asked.

"A snake." Harry said.

The names Dino.

"How come you gave me Dino?" Cloey asked.

"Dino?" Severus asked.

"The snakes name. Oh right you don't know. I speak Parseltongue and well Cloey just speaks to animals, being half wolf." Harry said.

"I know she speaks animal, Potter." Severus growled.

"How do you know so much?" Cloey asked.

"I'll explain during Christmas of next year." Harry said.

Cloey looked confused.

"So Sev…I mean Professor Snape, did you tell Cloey about her past and being the special one?" Harry asked.

"Special one?" Cloey asked.

"I'm not explaining. Professor, you have to." Harry said.

"Why?" Severus asked.

"Because you're the ones who is suppose to tell Cloey her missing life and who she is." Harry said.

Severus looked confused, but spoke anyways, "The Special One is the most strongest being on the earth. They are born from 7th generation of each first born. If ever the bloodline is cut, then there is no more special one, but normally they are protected by the highest rank of people. They are also attracted to one color, that is the color of their hair, close, and fur. They are connected with the wolf population, so that is there animagus form from the age of five." Severus said.

"No, I turned into a wolf at the age of two." Cloey said.

"That's because the special one side took over from the time your parents were killed. It sensed you were in danger and kept that way ever sense." Severus said.

"What about my wings?" Cloey asked.

"I don't know why you have wings." Severus said.

Cloey looked confused, but then shook it off. She was all ready comfortable around the guy. Maybe it was because he had showed her world.

Harry smiled. He could see that she was all ready calm and comfortable.

"Well professor I think it's time we be on are way." Harry said.

Severus looked at Harry. "Yes, we shall. Bye Cloey can't wait to see you at Hagworts." Severus said.

"Yes, I can't wait as well. Bye both of you." Cloey said.

Harry said his goodbye. He had a wide smile on his face. He knew his plane had worked.

"Tell me Potter, how do you know so much?" Severus asked.

"Oh, right, because…hmmm how do I explain this?" Harry asked himself. "Well I guess you could say I'm from the future."

"Your messing with me, see you are like your father." Severus said.

"No I'm not. Tomorrow my body may be turning 11, but my soul or what ever will be turning 15." Harry said.

"It's not possible." Severus said.

"I know it's strange. I was practicing a spell, one that didn't require the underage law. Once I finally got it to work, I woke up the next morning in the past, and younger." Harry said.

"If you're lying to me…" Severus was cut off.

"What would give me the right to lie to you?" Harry asked.

"For your own pleasure." Severus said.

"I would never do that. This is serious. Here asking me something there is no way in hell that I would know the answer to." Harry said.

Severus thought for a second.

"No way in hell huh? Well let's see if you learnt this in your time of being in the wizarding world: Besides your relatives who else had custody of you?" Severus asked.

"My god father Sirius Black. He now lies in Azkaban." Harry said. Then it popped into Harry's head. "He's innocent though. He didn't betray my parents 10 years ago, it was Peter Petagrew."

"He's dead Potter." Severus said.

"No he's not, but I'll deal with that later." Harry said, thinking to himself.

They both stepped into Gringotts.

Harry first got his money and paid back Severus.

Once they reached the volt that held the Sorceress stone, Harry spoke up. "Sir I know what its in there."

"That's no surprise." Severus said.

After that they got the rest of Harry's school supplies.

"Now Potter I think I should get you a birthday present." Severus said.

"Why?" Harry asked.

"Well sense you clearly are not your father, I do not see why I shouldn't. I know, when we get your wand, I'll pay for it." Severus said.

"Okay." Harry said.

At first Harry let Ollivander talk about his parents. "Sir, I know what wand would work best with me, that I know of at least." Harry said.

"Which one might that be?" Ollivander asked.

"Voldamort's wand's brother." Harry said. Ollivander flinched at his name.

"Yes, well we'll give it a try." Ollivander said.

"Sir, I know that it might be the only one to work, but I really don't want it. It helped me out before, but it also made it worse." Harry said.

Ollivander looked confused. He then turned to Severus.

"Don't ask me, the boys been talking about nonsense this whole trip." Severus said.

"Well Mr. Potter if it's the only wand that would work…" Ollivander said.

"Fine." Harry said.

Ollivander handed Harry the wand.

"Can I say a spell with it?" Harry asked.

"I don't see why not. Why do you know any spells in mind that you can do?" Ollivander asked.

"Yeah, I've got the perfect one, but I've got enough fame as it is. I don't want any more." Harry said.

"Just say the spell Mr. Potter." Ollivander said.

Harry nodded.

Expecto Patronum

A white silver stag appeared from out of Harry's wand. It then vanished.

That had worn Harry out a bit.

"A Patronus spell, Mr. Potter at the age of 11. Jolly good." Ollivander said.

"I knew you were going to say something like that. I'm going to have more fame." Harry wined and dropped his head.

Severus and Harry finished their trip and headed back to the Dursley's.

"I'm not 100% sure on you being from the future." Severus said.

"How much % would you say?" Harry asked.

"80, but push it, it will be 10." Severus said.

"I didn't say anything." Harry said.

Severus didn't answer.

They soon reached the Dursley's.

"Shit." Harry said.

"What's wrong Mr. Potter?" Severus asked.

"There going to take my stuff away the moment I walk in there." Harry said.

"What do you suppose we do?" Severus said, in a bored tone.

"You could threaten them not take them away. It would be easier if my bedroom wasn't the cupboard again." Harry said.

"The cupboard?" Severus asked.

Harry nodded.

"Maybe I'll have a word about with them about that too." Severus said.

"Really?" Harry beamed.

"Yes." Severus said.

Harry's smile dropped, "I won't be eating tonight then, well I guess it wouldn't matter. They probably wouldn't let me eat anyways, sense I was dealt with magic today."

"Why wouldn't they not let you? Do they starve you?" Severus asked.

"Sometimes. If I were to disobey them at all. Or cause them trouble, but most of it I don't really do, it's there insane idea." Harry said.

"In the future did you tell Dumbledore about this?" Severus asked.

"No. I told him how bad they are, but never that they starve me or hit me." Harry said.

"They hit you too?" Severus asked.

"Like slapping, not with fist. But yes they do." Harry said.

Severus looked at Harry with concern.

Harry bit back his smile.

"Hey I've got an idea, why don't you come in, invisible and watch?" Harry asked.

Severus thought for a second and then nodded.

Severus cast the spell.

They walked in.

"Whose there?" Vernon demanded.

"Just Harry." Harry said.

"Get in here boy." Vernon said.

Harry did as he was told, with the bond of bags.

"Those bags are going in our room and you are not to touch them." Vernon said.

"No. I need to sort through them." Harry said. Headwing chirped.

"What is that bloody thing doing in my house?" Vernon asked.

"She's my owl. It was recommended that I get one." Harry said.

"Fine, but she will not leave her cage. Leave your bags here and go to your room. You will not get any super tonight?"

"What good will putting my bags away do?"

"That so you cant do you know what? No I will not have it."

"What makes you think I will? I don't know any spells." Harry lied.

"You will not say anything to do with you and your freaky people's lives." Vernon said.

"You've all ready told me." Harry said.

"I did no such thing." Vernon said. Vernon's temper was high.

"Ops that slipped." Harry whispered.

Vernon took Harry and slammed him to the wall. Harry had avoided this the whole time he was in the past, but knew he had to show Severus, without being punished for something he deserved.

"I will not tolerate you not listening. I have put up with your strange behavior this month, but no more." Vernon said.

"I have done nothing wrong with that behavior, if you should know I was and am acting older than my age." Harry said.

"The bloody hell you are wrong." Vernon raised his hand.

"I wouldn't do that." Harry said quickly.

"And why not?" Vernon asked.

"Because if you do that, then there will be proof of you abuse and I think that's exactly what Professor Snape is looking for." Harry said.

Severus appeared.

"Indeed Potter." Severus said.

Petunia screamed. Severus had to cover his ears.

"Hush Petunia, you're hurting my ears." Severus said.

"What are you doing in my house?" Vernon asked.

"Potter let me in." Severus said.

"You ungrateful brat." Vernon said throwing Harry to the ground.

"I don't know why your kind ever placed him on are door step."

"For yours and his protection." Severus said.

"Petunia, he's your sister's son, don't you care?"

"No, not really." Petunia said.

"Potter, get up." Severus demanded. Harry obeyed. "Get your stuff were leaving."

"No." Harry said.

"Why not?" Severus asked.

"Professor Dumbledore will be mad at you, I don't want that. He might not exactly send me back now, but he will next summer and probably explain to them why I had to come here. I really don't want to listen to that after I've heard it a hundred times." Harry said.

"Potter I doubt Dumbledore will bring you back after you tell him they neglected, starved, and abused you." Severus said.

"You have no proof." Vernon said.

"Do I not? He's body is covered in scars from your abuse." Severus said.

"I never told you that." Harry said.

"I know what it looks like from personal experience." Severus said.

Harry looked shocked, he didn't know that.

"He will." Harry said calmly. "This is the safest place for me."

"We'll see wh…" That's as far as Severus got.

"Severus I would love to spend the rest of the summer somewhere else, but you'll get in trouble. I know you will." Harry said sounding very worried. To Severus surprised.

"I will deal with the consequences." Severus said.

"It's no big deal if I have to come back here in the summer. I've done it for five years." Harry said.

"Boy you will stop talking about this nonsense. You are barley 11. You have known nothing about your kind." Vernon said.

"So you emit to not informing him of his inheritance." Severus said.

Vernon glared at Severus without saying a word.

"Come Potter." Severus said.

"Okay, just let me get some cloths." Harry said running to the cupboard, which was right around the corner.

"A cupboard, god damn you people." Severus said.

Harry popped his head out of the door. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you cared Professor." Harry teased.

"Like hell. You may not be a spoiled brat, but…" Severus was cut off.

"But I'm James Potters son." Harry said finishing his sentence and closing the door.
