I do not own Harry Potter. Sadly, it belongs to J.K Rowling. Now, here is my new chapter :3

After they had finished eating, Draco leaned in close to Harry, "Can I ask you something about your relatives?" Harry flinched, "Sure."

Draco noted this behavior, "Did they ever hit you?" Harry's eyes shifted around. He knew he should tell Draco,"Yeah, when weird things happened, I was blamed. When Dudley got bad grades, I was blamed. When Uncle Vernon got a demotion, I was blamed. But, I usually was hit in the side of my head with a frying pan."

Draco motioned for Hermione to join in, "Hermione, is it legal for muggles to hit children?" Hermione's eyes widened, "Well, if they're hit on the bottom a couple of times, it's okay. Why?"

Harry sighed, "Well, my relatives have hit me multiple times, usually in the head with a pot or pan." Hermione gasped, "Harry, you need to take this to the ministry, they can help you." Draco nodded, "Yeah, you can use your power of Lord Potter to get justice."

Before Harry could reply, McGonagall stood up, "Would prefects please lead their houses to their dorms." Harry noticed Draco rolling his eyes, "What?" Draco smirked, "They really hate the Slytherins, because instead of having normal dorms, we get the dungeons. Hermione huffed, "Well, that's not very kind." As an afterthought she asked, "Harry, can I borrow your owl, I need to mail my parents."

Harry nodded, "Just tell me when you have the letter." Hermione blushed, "Actually, I wrote it on the way here." She pulled out the letter and handed it to Harry. A dark haired boy, presumably the prefect, stood up, "First years, follow me!"

Upon arriving at the dungeons, the prefect faced the first years, "This month's password is 'Worm-wood'." Draco smirked, "Do you know any other house passwords?" The prefect winked, "The Gryffindor password is 'Gryffindor rules', so do what you want with that information." Harry, taken aback, whispered to Hermione, "You think all Slytherins are like this?" Hermione shrugs, "It may be the house rivalry."

Then, another prefect appeared, this time a girl, "Alright Flint, I'll take the girls down to their dorms." Flint shook his head, "Professor Snape wants them in the common room for orientation." The girl nods," New plan, follow us."

The prefects then opened the door. The first years were in awe. There was a huge emerald green couch, along with tables with ink and quills for doing homework. There was a fireplace, which had color changing fire. There were many moving pictures with quidditch players soaring through the sky.

"Welcome. Have a seat." The first years turned to see a dark-haired man, who looked to be in his mid-30's.

All of the children took a seat on the couch, with some sitting in the armchairs near the fire. "I am your potions professor and Head of House. Now remember, this term is the time to make an impression. Make sure to look professional and poised.

"Now all of you should go to bed. Wake up early and be the first to the Great Hall. Do not disappoint me." The First Years nodded and scurried to bed. Severus watched them go, while fondly fingering the amulet Lucius sent him.

FLASH BACK

James had only meant to black mail Lily into going out with him. Now he was sitting opposite of her and Malfoy in the infirmary. When he cast 'levicorpus', all he was going to do was get his date with Lily. But when he broke the spell, Severus had landed on his head. He probably could have healed the gash, if Malfoy hadn't burst into the hallway at that moment.

Madame Pomfrey approached them, snapping him out of his thoughts. She sighed, "Severus suffered multiple head fractures. Thanks to Mr. Malfoy's quick thinking, I was able to save him. If he does survive, though, he will suffer from loss of sleep, which will affect his studies. Mr. Potter, I should expel you, but Dumbledore would have my head. 500 points from Gryffindor, and you are banned from quidditch for the remainder of the year."

Lily and Lucius smiled weakly. At least Dumbledore couldn't save James from punishment. Let's just say, Slytherin won both the house and quidditch cup that year.

FLASH BACK OVER

Author's note: Thank you for your patience. You might think I'm too harsh on James, but he deserves it for how he treated Severus in the actual book. BTW, I will be holding voting for potential ships, so if you have an OTP, message me!

Next time: First day of classes and quidditch thrills.
