Severus was going to be punished. Harry had gotten angry last night, but that was not why Severus was in big trouble now. "Master?"

"Yes?"

"I lost it."

Harry looked at him, with eyes that even made Severus feel guilty. Even though he felt bad before hand. "Lost, what?"

"I got to the shop, and bought the stuff. When I was going to the fireplace, they took it. So I didn't actully lose them, Sir."

"Severus what did you lose?"

"30 gallons, a wand, robes, and two books."

"I see. Well, it's not a big deal. I'll just have to go with you next time. You obviously need protection, so I'll go with next time. Ok?"

Severus felt like a child and humliated, "Of course, Master. When would you like to go?"

Harry looked at his watch, "We could go now, if you like."

"Yes, Master."

"We'll be going to get the money first. May I have my key?"

Severus gulped, this was what he knew he would be punished for. "They took it, Sir."

Harry glared at Serveus, "And no one helped you? You didn't do anything? It was your wand, and books that you went out to get. So you didn't try to keep them?"

"I did. I tryed, but they had wands, and no one was around. One girl was, but she was age 3 or 4, so I didn't want the four people to do anything."

"Severus, you didn't fight them off? And your telling me, four people, pulled out their wands for books, three robes, and a wand? I know you weren't waving out the key, so how did they even know you had it?"

"I don't know. I guess they were at Gringotts when I was, Master."

"Well, how are we going to get money, Severus?"

Severus looked at the ground, unsure how to answer this qusetion.

"Severus, I asked you a qustion, I want an answer. Or must we go through this again?"

"I'm unsure how we can get in. I think the goblins would know if someone came in with your key, looking unlike you, Master."

"I'm sure they wouldn't. But how do we get in?"

"I'm sure Dum-" Severus stopped talking, realizing that he wouldn't want Dumbledore to know about his mistake. It would be immensly embarrassing. Harry looked at Severus, knowing what he was thinking.

"We'll ask Dumbledore if he can help, but we can just tell I was careless. But do you think he would be able to help?"

"Professer Dumbledore, I'm sure will be able to think of something."

Harry nodded, "Is well, we should pack for Hogwarts anyway. Go, I'll go see Dumbledore. When I get back, I want you ready to leave. Robes and everything you are taking packed. If not, then you will be going to Hogwarts with the clothes you are wearing." Harry narrowed his eyes, "And, I'm well aware what Dumbledore is, I don't call him Professer, becuase I don't. So keep that tone to yourself."

"Yes, Master. Do.. nevermind, Master."

"What?"

"I was going to ask if you wanted me to pack for you too, but I know you wouldn't like me to touch your things."

"If you are done packing, and I'm not back, then yes. I would like you too, I trust you would damage or steal anything from me."

"Of course not, Master."

"Good. So go."


Severu went to go pack. Harry went though the fireplace to go Hogwarts. Harry landed in Dumbledore's office. "Professer?"

"Yes, Harry?" Dumbledore came out from behind the corner. "Can I help you?"

"Well, Sir. What do you do, if your key to Gringots is stolen or lost?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing?"

"Yep. Nothing. You can go to Gringots without a key. Tell them who you are, and what vault. They'll have you open your door, if you are not who you say, then you sucked in."

Harry nodded. "Professer, Severus, as you already know, I'm sure. Is a-"

"I know. And I'm glad it was you who bought him."

Harry was slightly taken back on that, but said nothing about it. "Well, you see, the rooms. When we are here, he is in a total differnet part of the castle."

"Do you wish for him to move the Griffendore tower?"

"No! I mean, no. I'm asking if I may move in with him, in the Dungons."

"I"m sure we can do that. But may I ask, is Serverus a slave under a spell, or under the law?"

"Both, Professer. I was angry last night, and put him under the spell. But he still has a mind of his own. He can still tell me what he likes, and so on."

Dumbledore nodded. "I will be sure to get the dungons ready for Severus and you. You need to sign somethings for me."

"Such as...?"

"Permission, for him to teach, and the rights of a teacher here."

Harry took the form, and filled in out quickly. He read fast, it was mostly cheak this and that off. "Here you are, Professer."

Dumbledore looked at the paper, "He can take points from your house?"

"He can, but he won't."

"I see. Well, good day Harry."

"You as well, Professer."

Harry got home, and Severus was packed, as well was Harry. "Thank you, Severus."

Severus bowed his head, "Of course, Master."

Harry smirked, "Go to Hogwarts, and unpack. But first write me a list of what you need or want this year, and I'll go out and get them."

"Thank you, Master."

"List."

"Yes, Master." Severus went, and wrote a quick list. "I wrote them all down, but if you don't wish to ge-"

"If I didn't want to buy them, I wouldn't have asked. Correct?"

"Yes, Master."

"Good. Go, Hogwarts."

Severus went though the fireplace to Hogwarts.
