Chapter 21: Severus Telling his Son About the Dark Lord
After a few days of being in Slytherin and being at the school Harry became more comfortable around the new surroundings. Almost every day Harry sees Ron and Hermione coming from the halls and in the class rooms. He wished that he would've been in Gryffindor, but he would've felt guilty for not wanting for his father to be proud of him. Harry decided no matter what the cause he was going to achieve great things. That no other wizard had done just so that his father could be proud of him.
"Harry, what is the answer?" Severus spoke with a deep voice. Harry was not concentrating on his potions work and was distracted on how to make his father more proud of him.
"Oh…sorry Professor. I'll try harder." Harry answered and was embarrassed. It wasn't the first good impression of him doing something great. It was something really foolish. He didn't do it again though, he paid attention and was able to do the potion correctly and was able to get a praise from his father.
"good job Mr. Snape well done. You see class, this is how you brew wolfs fang . and brewing it correctly." Severus stared at his son. Harry knew he was happy that he achieved what his father wanted him to do.
Another Professor came barging in yelling and screaming at the top of his lungs.
"HE'S HERE!!!!!!!..IN THE CASTLE! YOU KNOW WHO IS HERE!" every one screamed too. But not Harry, he was curious but still wanting to know who you-know-who is.
"SILENCE!!!!!!!!!" Severus commanded and everyone followed his commanded and sat back down in their seats quietly
"Mr. Falcon escort the students to go to their towers and do not let them leave. Mr. Snape stay with me." Severus told the head student and Malcolm Falcon lead them to each tower safely.
"who is you-know-who? Dad?" Harry asked confused and was wanting to know the answer.
"he is a dark lord son. He is very dangerous. He is the most powerful wizard in the wizarding world." Severus tried to explain while taking his son to a safe place.
"so no one can beat this wizard dad?" Harry asked rushing with him he is starting to get tired.
Wow, I can defeat Lord Voldemort and then I will be a hero and my dad will be so proud of me! He thought.
"Stay in your room Harry do not leave the tower." Severus commanded his son and left to met the other Professor's at the great hall.
Dumbledore rushed in as soon as all the Professor's sat down at the teachers table
"we must sent the students home." McGonagall asked when she stood up.
"there is no need for such action. All we need to do is to have more protection around the school. And be on the alert at all times. Dementor's will protect the school and I have placed a protection charm around the school as well." Dumbledore reassured McGonagall, then she sat back down. All this time Severus was thinking about Harry trying to make up a plan where he would be safe and not be harmed by the Dark Lord. But How?
"There will be some new rules in the castle. Students must be in there house's by eight o clock. And all the doors will be guarded with guards and no student is allowed to leave the grounds with out an adult and needs to have permission." Dumbledore said.
"Harry, you- know-who is coming for you rightcha Harry?" Draco said coming towards him.
"He is now, and how would you know that?" Harry said giving him a nasty look.
"Because my father told me and the Daily Prophet." Draco tried to convinced him.
Harry wasn't sure about trying to defeat the Dark Lord now. But he knows now that he must not just because the people needed him gone. Because he wanted his father to become proud of him.
The next day he saw Hermione and Ron walking in the fields and Harry rushed towards them.
"Hi! What are you doing?" Harry asked wasn't sure if they would talk to them.
"I'm Studying for the Defense Against the Dark Arts. We have test next class and I know I am going to do well in it unlike Ronald here for instance." Hermione said teasingly and nudged Ron on the shoulders.
"oh yeah I completely forgot about that thanks Hermione." Harry said to her.
"oh your dad. Isn't he a trip. He already gave me detention for not paying attention and passing notes to Hermione. Its like having eye's in the back of his head." Ron said jokingly but yet seriously.
"Oh yeah he is tough on students." Harry said lowering his head down.
"you want to hang out later?" Ron asked him.
"You want to hang out with me? Even though I am a Slytherin?" Harry perked up and had a smile.
"Sure why cant Slytherin's and Gryffindor's hang out? We were friends before we were placed in the houses" Ron said happily.
"Okay then." Harry replied.
"Hagrid wanted to see us anyway I don't know why though but lets go." Hermione suggested.
"he wanted to go see me?" Harry now was confused.
"yes he wants to see you too Harry now come on" Hermione grabbed Harry's hand and lead them to Hagrid's hut.
"Heya!" Hagrid said opening the doors for Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
"Hey Hagrid what you been up to?" Hermione asked and sat down on the couch
"oh I wanted to show y'er something." Hagrid went to his bedroom and grabbed something huge out to show them.
"Is that an egg, Hagrid?" Harry said curiously.
"yup y'er right on that one 'Arry not just an egg, a Dragons egg." Hagrid said sitting it down gently on the kitchen table. Hermione, Harry and Ron gathered around to see it.
"what type and how did you manage to get an egg?" Harry asked
"it's a Chinese Faribault. And some stranger just handed it to me, and I accepted it" Hagrid answered Harry's question.
"Oh does the headmaster know about it?" Hermione asked.
"no he doesn't it's a secret." Hagrid told them.
Then the egg started to hatch. And when it did, the baby dragon came out and burped fire and burned Hagrid's beard.
"oh wow! He's gonna grow up big and strong aren't he? What shall we call him?" Hagrid asked the three students.
"Uh….you're gonna name the dragon?" Ron asked while gulped in fear.
" yup. How bout Norbert". Hagrid said.
"very well." all three announced astonished.
