Chapter 21: More Information about you-know-who.

It was a few days after there first day at Hogwarts. Harry was very pleased that his father was in fact his potions teacher and he had him first thing in the morning. When Harry woke up and put his robe on and went down to the Slytherin common room and Draco was sitting on the couch. Draco was looking at Harry like he did something wrong.

"ready for Potions Snape!" Draco said getting up and patting Harry on his left shoulder.

"yea." Harry knew that he wasn't going to like Draco right from the beginning he didn't know why but he seems dangerous to be around. Even though that he was his fathers friends son. Harry and Draco went to Potions class and sat in the third row, the same row that Ron and Hermione was in but in a different table.

"hea Harry! How'd you sleep last night?" Ron said smiling at Harry.

" great how bout you." Harry asked

"good sorry you had to be put in Slytherin. Oh by the way Hermione and I need to talk to you at the end of-" There was a door slamming before Ron could finish his sentence.

"turn to your potions book to page one hundred and twenty five." Severus said in an evil tone.

Harry never really saw that side of his father before.

"I said Mr. Weasley turn to page one hundred and twenty five. And Mr. Malfoy do not put your gum on the other side of the desk and do what I told you to." Severus said.

" I don't expect you will really understand the beauty of the softly simmering fumes. The delicate power of liquids that creep through human veins, bewitching the mind, ensaring the senses…I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory and even put a stopper in death" Severus said turning his book to the page one hundred and twenty five." Severus said and then giving instructions on brewing a charm.

"Mr. Snape I need to speak to you." Severus said to his son

Harry smiled but yet he was unsure rather or not he was in trouble with something.

"how do you like it at Hogwarts?" Severus whispered.

"it's great." Harry answered in a low voice.

"I see you made friends with Draco Malfoy" Severus added starring at Draco.

"not really to be honest I don't really like him much I have a bad feeling about him." Harry said looking down at the desk.

"okay you rather be with the Gryffindor friends Granger and Weasley?" Severus asked

"Sorta yea." Answering very lowly.

"alright then do as you wish don't get in trouble though Im sure Draco will be you friend eventually just take some time." Severus said and signaling Harry to go back to his seat to finish his work.

"so Snape what did your father want?" Draco asked whispering

"oh wanted to see if my first few days were good."

"that was it? Wow." Draco said accidentally yelling it out loud.

"Mr. Malfoy do your work."

It was the end of first block and Harry walked towards Hermione and Ron before Harry could say anything Draco interrupted and distracted Harry.

"don't tell me you were going to talk to those Gryffindor's" Draco sneered

"uh…" Harry didn't know what to say.

"you better not because we Slytherin's don't mess with them we stay with our own kind you see. Stick with me and I will teach you every thing you know" Draco was trying to act as if he knew everything and that was when Harry couldn't stand him.

"I've had enough of you Malfoy." Harry yelled.

"oh ho ho you had have you its only been five days." Draco said smiling

"you leave me alone you have no right to judge the Gryffindor's my mother was a Gryffindor I have no problem with them." Harry snarled at Draco

"okay then go ahead and hang out with that mudblood and poor boy Weasley." Draco said angrily

Harry never knew that Hermione was half witch. When he turned around there they were waiting for him. And he looked back and Draco and then turn back around and walked towards Hermione and Ron.

"what was that about Harry?" Hermione asked.

"Draco called you a Mudblood Hermione and I couldn't take it any more so I guess I blew up in his face. And left." Harry answered.

" oh. Don't bother him Harry he just thinks he's a know it all. That's all. Well let me tell you HE IS NOT!" Ron said shouting.

Severus was walking toward the trio and stopped in front of Harry.

"oh hello Harry. Been looking for you." Severus said.

Harry didn't realize it but now he remembers that Ron had told him about some kind of Dark Wizard.

"oh hi dad I need to talk to you about something." Harry said looking up at Severus.

"alright then Mss. Granger, Mr. Weasley…." Severus started to say and then they knew that he wanted to be alone with Harry.

"what seems to be bothering you Harry." Severus asked his son.

"some one told me about this certain Dark Lord should I be worried about it?" Harry asked.

Severus was shocked who would've told his son about the Dark lord. He knew one day that this day would come but how to tell Harry that he was in danger.

"so… dad who is he?"

Severus didn't want to lie to his son but he didn't want his son to be scared.

"Harry, the Dark Lord is one of the most powerful wizards in the wizarding world. He is out to find wizards to join him he is very evil. And if he doesn't get his way he will kill them. And I'm scared." Severus answered.

"you don't have to be scared dad. He wont find you. He wont kill you." Harry said.

"it's not me I am worried about son. Its you. I know he wants you." Severus said with a sad look on his face.

"why would he want me?" Harry asked.

"because you never knew this but you are a powerful wizard and he wants wizard like you to be on his team. And I won't let that happen." Severus said.

"what is the Dark Lords name?" Harry asked suspiciously

"his name…. is Lord. Voldemort." Severus answered his question.

"how can I defend my self from him? Will he try to hurt mum?" Harry was worried about his mum more then him actually.

"that's what Im worried about too. I am scared for her. She is alone. No one to defend her. That's why I asked Dumbledore to see if she could come and live with us at the school." Severus whispered.

"oh… have you written her yet?" Harry asked.

"no not since we left but I will after diner." Severus said.

"that's good. Can I write her?" Harry was wondering he wanted to make sure for himself that she was okay.

"Of course Harry. You don't have to have my permission to write to your mother." Severus said smiling, but yet worried at the same time.

Harry nodded his head in satisfaction and turned his head to find that Hermione and Ron was waiting for him across the hall.

"go ahead son go be with your friends and try to stay away from the Draco boy you were right something is wrong with him…" Severus said looking over at Hermione and Ron. They waved at Severus pretending that they weren't ear dropping.
