They does not belong to me either but to the talented Snapegirlkmf thank you so much for letting me borrow them. Anyway here's a new chapter enjoy.

Chapter 6

Harry pushed his plate away from him and nodded to Severus to continue. Severus noted that he hadn't eaten all of his soup, his bread and yogurt with fruit. Severus thought that was due to the shrinking of his stomach 'We'll have to work on that this summer.'

"I visited the Dursleys' and have been informed that you will not be returning into their loving care ever again." Severus started.

"So where will I be going?" Asked Harry interrupting Severus. Severus gave him a look that made him shut up. Harry mumbled sorry so Severus could continue.

"I will be your guardian from now on Potter." Severus said. "For the first few weeks will be here since I need to pack some ingredients I do not have available in my home to brew potions for Poppy." He added before he conjured a quill and parchment. "Now my rules: Forget all the rules the Dursleys gave you. My rules are simple and easy to follow. You are not to prepare or cook any meals for us unless you ask me to, No cleaning any rooms but your own. Everyday you will study and do your assignments for two hours until they are done. Since I noticed you could hardly finish you dinner because of your abuse you are to eat a snack whenever you are sweets they are for after dinner. The last two are the most important. Do not lie to me, and never place yourself in danger."

Harry looked at him. " If I should break one of those rules sir?" he asked. Severus thought for a moment.

" If you should ever break one of those rules Potter. I shall give a spanking.I will not beat you like those relatives of yours, It shall be my hand meeting your backside for 10 swats no more no less. If you should get in trouble in school you shall be punished twice once by the teacher then by me. Do you understand?" he asked. Harry nodded. Severus sighed and pinched his nose as he tried to inform Harry the next bit of news.

"Um, professor I do have a question?" Harry asked. Severus nodded. " Um why did Voldemort attack my family?" he asked quietly.

Well that might make it easier.Severus thought and took a deep breath. " Because he heard a prophecy and chose your family as his target. " he said.

"Heard a prophecy from where?" Harry asked. Severus closed his eyes.

"From me. I was young when I joined his little group. My childhood was much like yours and i was easily swayed. I was at Hogsmeade when I heard it. Thinking I would be praised i told him. Instead he chose your family to kill thinking the prophecy was talking about you, but before he could find you I ran to Dumbledore to seek forgiveness and to save you and your family. Since then I have been a double agent." Severus said."I understand if you don't want to be near me or live with me." he added.

Harry sat there for a moment. "Did you know the prophecy was about me sir?" he asked. Severus shook his head. "Then I forgive you. We all make mistakes sir." he said. "So when can I leave?" he whined. Severus chuckled slightly.

"Why don't I ask Poppy to see if you can't come home." He said standing up and leaving Harry for a few minutes.

A few minutes later Harry was walking beside Severus as they left the Hospital Wing to the dungeons. Severus mind was reeling that Harry could forgive him so easily. He gave a small smirk when he realized that Harry was showing more Lily than his father the more he got to know the boy.

sorry i didn't put the new character but they will be in the next chapter R&R
