A/n Sorry for the delay.

I noticed that some people are posting negative reviews.

I don't have a problem with Constructive critisim but if you are just going to be rude don't bother.

For all others enjoy chapter 3.

Chapter 3 confrontation.

I felt a light stinging my closed eyes.

It was morning I needed to wake up.

"Harry come on up you get." Pansy said shaking my arm.

I opened my eyes slowly and allowed yesterdays memories to arrange themselves in my mind before I got up.

I quickly moved to my trunk and pulled out my uniform.

I headed to the bathroom and with a quick shower I deemed myself fit to leave the confines of the room.

I headed down to the common room and froze when I saw my year mates waiting for me.

I reached for my wand but stopped when I saw they had smiled warmly at me.

"Don't worry we thought it would be best if we all walked to breakfast together." Pansy said looping her arm around mine.

"Really?" I asked surprised.

"Yeah haven't you ever noticed Slytherin are always in groups." Blaise smiled.

"Yeah but I'm just surprised its been a long time since I walked to breakfast with friends." I said shyly.

"Well get used to it. We should hurry you have a meeting with Snape in an hour." Pansy said leading the way to the door.

We quickly followed and struck up a conversation with Draco and Blaise.

"So Draco You're gonna have some competition this year for seeker." Blaise joked.

"No I'm captain this year so I'm just going coach." Draco smiled. "But you still have to try out don't think I'm going to go easy on you."

"I would be disappointed if you did."

We entered the hall and out of habit I walked towards the Gryffindor table.

"Harry? Where are you going?" Blaise asked.

I realised my mistake but also noticed most eyes in the hall were on me.

"I'm going to tell the others what happened. Don't worry I'll be back in a second."

I continued on my way towards the table.

"Hey guys." I said sitting next to Neville and opposite Seamus and dean.

"Hey where were you last night you didn't come back and what's with the Slytherin logo?" Neville asked.

I realised I'd forgotten my tie for the morning.

"Well you see I got resorted last night." I said looking down.

I saw their faces fall.

"How could you?" Seamus Called drawing the attention of those surrounding us.

I felt tears well behind my eyes.

I didn't want to loose my friends.

"You're leaving us with them? They're going to make us do homework and play chess. My year is ruined." Seamus continued before smiling.

I looked up and felt a smile split my face.

"You're not mad?"

"No we always thought you were more than a Slytherin than a Gryffindor." Dean smiled.

"We'll still be friends right?" Neville asked.

"Of course if you wanna be of course." I smiled.

No matter what I still had friends in the tower.

I spent a few more minutes talking to them before I stood.

"I should go. See you later." I smiled.

"Yeah you should meet us in the library before dinner." Neville returned.

"Looking forward to it."

"Harry good. You've come to your senses." I heard someone behind me call.

"Yeah I did." I smiled and walked past them.

"Where are you going?" Ron asked.

"I just came to see my friends now I'm going back to my table." I replied and turned and continued.

"Harry!" Hermione called and grabbed my arm.

"Let go of me. And I have already told you only my friends call me harry." I said yanking my arm from her grasp.

"Harry. You aren't meant to be with those snakes."

"Those snakes have been better friends in one night than you have been in 6 years."

"Harry doesn't say things you will regret. There is only so far you can push your friends." Dumbledore said as he came down from the head table.

"They aren't my friends." I hissed.

"Harry if you keep this up I will send you back to the Dursleys this summer." Dumbledore threatened.

"Send me back there and you will guarantee your defeat in the war."

"What's that supposed to mean? You wouldn't join Voldemort." Hermione said.

"No but I will not kill him either I will let you fight this war."

"You're so full of your self. You really think you're the reason we're gonna win the war?" Ron scoffed.

"Neither shall live while the other survives.' That's the prophecy Ron. I'm the only one who can kill him. Now back off." I yelled.

"Harry Detention!" Dumbledore called. "I warned you already not to utter the prophecy."

"You don't control me." I called and stormed off.

I walked to the table unopposed and sat down next to pansy.

"Did you mean it?" She asked.

"Mean what? That I'd join Voldemort? Cause I am seriously considering it."

"No that we were better friends?"

"Yeah of course I did." I smiled.

Before I could utter another syllable I was pulled into a hug.

"Pansy… need… air" I gasped.

"Sorry." She called and released me.

"I have to go meet Snape catch you later." I called and headed to the dungeons.

"Hello?" I called.

"Harry, have a seat." Snape said as he swept into the room.

I nodded and sat down opposite the desk.

"Harry we need to discuss this situation. I talked to the goblins at gringotts the vaults are in your name still. They ask that you arrange a meeting with them soon to accept all your vaults. Before you ask I don't know what they are talking about either. Now over summer next year I intent to take you to my house in spinners end." He stopped to breath

"You're taking me away from the Dursleys?" I asked.

"Yes."

I jumped up and wrapped my arms around the man.

"Thank you." I smiled as I released him and sat back down.

"Yes…well. Do you want to tell people I am your father?" He asked.

"No. Voldemort will kill you and Dumbledore will try and manipulate you. We should keep it a secret until you are safe."

"You are the child I am meant to be the one to protect you."

"We should get to know each other. I don't really know anything about you."

"Of course Sunday night come back here and we will begin." He smiled. "Here's you're time table."

"Thank you."

I hurried to find Pansy.

There were a lot more classes with Gryffindor's this year.

Probably Dumbledore trying to get me to connect with THEM again.

I quickly cast a tempus charm and saw that I had to get to class in five minute.

I dispended my search and headed to the charms class.

Once inside the class I saw that there were only 6 people in the class.

Draco and myself from Slytherin, Hermione and Seamus from Gryffindor and two Ravenclaw I didn't know.

I sat next to Draco and waited for Professor Flitwick to come in.

Hermione looked startled that I was in the class she was about to come and talk to me when Flitwick came in.

"Hello class." He squeaked. "Welcome to Advance Defence. For the first lesson I thought we would Start with a patronous. Who can tell me what it is for?"

My hand shot up before Hermione could move.

"Ms potter." He squeaked in surprise.

"A patronous is the only defence against a dementors. It is created from a happy memory.

Most can only produce a silvery shield at the most or a silver wisp.

The most difficult patronous to produce is a corporal one." I finished making sure I got everything out.

"Yes correct. I was told that you could produce one Ms potter care to tell us what kind?" He squeaked back.

"Corporal one." I answered swiftly.

Draco looked surprised while everyone else including Hermione looked envious.

(A/n- I'm gonna make it so no one in the DA could make a corporal patronous only the shield.)

"Really? Care to show us." Flitwick said, clearly doubting my skill in the area.

I nodded before focusing on a memory.

I focused on a recent on talking to Pansy in the dorms.

I smiled before speaking the spell

'Expecto patronum.'

Instead of my usual stag a smaller version of the basilisk burst from my wand.

I stared at in confused.

"I don't understand it was prongs before?" I said to know one in particular.

I cancelled the spell.

"Why would my patronous change?" I asked Flitwick.

"What was it before?" He asked.

"Prongs." I answered.

He looked at me confused so I elaborated on it.

"My dads animagus for was a stag called prongs."

"Did your opinion of your father change recently? Usually the feelings of the caster change causing a change in their protector."

I nodded.

'Of course my opinion of my father changed he isn't my father Snape is.' I thought.

"Moving on can anyone else cast a corporal patronous?" He squeaked turning back to the class.

No one answered.

"Well you know the spell and how to cast it begin.

30 minutes into the lesson the most someone had cast was a shield patronous and that was by Hermione.

I sat with Draco as he tried and failed to summon a patronous.

After a particular bad try when only a tiniest wisp exited the wand I heard Hermione snicker.

"Great friends you've got there Potter." She giggled.

I shot her a glare and walked to Draco and tried to help him.

"What memory are you focusing on?" I asked.

"Getting sorted into Slytherin." He answered.

"Come here." I said sitting on the floor. "Close your eyes and think back to the memory that makes you feel safe and accepted. The best thing you can remember. Got it?" I asked.

After a few seconds he nodded.

"Now focus on that memory. Let only that fill your mind. Then cast the spell."

I watched his features scrunch in concentration.

"Expecto patronum'

A little dragon burst from his wand and flew around the room.

He opened his eyes and stared in amazement at his patronous.

"That's not fair the snake can cast one and I cant." Hermione grumbled.

Seamus came up to us and congratulated Draco.

Five minutes till the end of the lesson and only Draco was able to summon a corporal patronous.

"Pack up class." Flitwick said. "I want a foot essay on the patronous charm. You may go."

We began filling out of the class.

"Thanks for that." Draco said as we headed to potions.

"My pleasure." I smiled.

A/n thanks for reading R/r
