AN:// I decided that Sirius would have been released the day that Harry came to Hogwarts. I know that that is not how it happened in the book, or the movie… but it's fan fiction. :) anyways, I hope you enjoy!

Potter.

A list of words would unfold in the thought of the boy. For his father, James; there would be no list; it would be every name in man-kind that could possible existed-never ending. It really was always about him. Snape had to admit that sometimes it was brain mangling.

Now he sat with a sneer across his face.

It was a meeting that Snape, The Order and all the Professors were called upon. As if not to make it worse the wolf and the once convicted convict were sitting directly across the table.

Remus and Sirius

Both were extremely close friends… and were still Snape's most hated enemies to come into contact with him.

"Headmaster." Snape asked with a little bit of a sneer mixed in-between. It had been another long night of drinking and it caused him to have a shorter fuse when he was angry. "Can we hurry this up? I honestly don't have all morning."

Sirius snickered to Remus, acting as if Snape wasn't there. "Like he ever has time in the morning. He doesn't ever have time to shower."

Remus tried to hold a solid face. "Perhaps he is busy."

"Oh course Severus, just another moment and everyone should be ready." The Headmaster replied calmly with an annoying twinkle in his eye. "This is a very important meeting."

Severus feeling a little bit of curiosity arise; calmed down and waited as the others took their seats.

This was a promising Start.

"Harry, if you are ever going to finish that assignment you better get to it. It is due tomorrow." Harry turned from the chair he was sitting in to look at one of his best friends.

"Hermione, leave him alone. You're ruddy worse then my mother." Harry's best mate replied.

"Shut up Ron, You better get to it too. Or you're going to fail the OLWS." Hermione snapped back, standing and dramatically taking her books off the table. "I'm going to go study in the library while you two waste your time away here in the commons." Hermione turned away leaving the two Gryffindors alone.

"What's gotten into her?" Harry asked still looking at the closed door.

"What's gotten into her? Harry, she's just bloody mad." Ron said with a grin plastered across his face. "Besides, I don't care if I pass the OWLS."

"Why's that?" Harry asked popping a chocolate frog into his mouth.

"I'm going to work at my brother's shop." Ron said examining the candy wrappers littering the floor. "They make a fortune."

"Well of course they do mate. They make the best candy I've ever seen in the world-but Ron what about your parents… you know that they are going to bash you when they find out you failed."

Ron's face turned grim. "Yeah, I know. I haven't brought it up yet… I was going to wait. I mean maybe I can hide it from them for a while. They were proud of Fred and Gorge when they opened the shop. Maybe it will be the same for me when I tell them that's where I plan to work."

Harry gave him a shrug. "Maybe." The he sighed he had to pass the OWLS if he ever wanted to become an Aurora, which meant passing potions…

"Ron?" Harry asked suddenly distressed.

"What is it? Stomach upset already? I told you not to eat so many of-"

"No, Ron. I was going to ask if you had done the assignment for potion class today." Harry watched as Ron's eyes widened. "Ah Ron! You know that he is going to send a letter home to your parents! He told you last time if you forgot he was going to send one imminently!"

"Bloody git." Ron said folding his arms over his chest. "How come he never sends a letter home to your parents?"

"Because I, Ron actually can finish his assignment before his class…well normally mate."

"Good luck to you. It's garbage anyways."

"Sure, but at least it's not a letter home." Harry said with a mischievous grin.

"I have called upon you all today, for a special reason." The Headmaster said standing from his seat. "Today, I was informed that the Dursley's released Harry Potter from there custody… which means; Harry Potter can finally be adopted."

The room hit utter silence.

Dumbledore stood in patience as whispers slowly started to fill the room.

"What are we going to do?"

"Where is he going to go?"

"The blood wards are down!"

"He will die!"

"Silence!" Dumbledore commanded.

In an instant the room was silent again.

"We have already placed Harry in a home. It was where he should have gone a long tome ago…"

"And where is that Headmaster? Harry will not be safe." Minerva quickly asked.

Severus couldn't blink, he couldn't breath.

So the brat was no longer free to run around Hogwarts as he pleased, but who would take care of him? No one is safe. Yet somehow he already knew the answer and he felt his stomach turn.

"To his godfather of course, Sirius Black."

AN:// just thought I'd let you know that this story really is more about Severus then it is Harry, or anyone else, all though you will see a lot of Harry in my stories-and the following chapters. Thank you for the reviews! :)
