Well... let's keep it on: "SLYTHERIN" The hat yelled out and Harry smiled. He had had an irk about getting into that house, and well it would bring him closer to Severus, so he could find what the deal with James was about.

He walked swiftly to the Slytherin table and sat down next to the headboy. "Hello, Severus Snape it was, if I recall correctly?" Severus just raised an eyebrow and went on with eating his breakfast.

Harry smirked at the way he was being ignored, he had expected nothing less than this behaviour of his former Headmaster. So he relaxed in his seat and looked over to the Gryffindor table, where Lily and the Marauders were discussing him. He couldn't see Remus' or Lily's expressions, but by the looks of it, those two where defending him against Sirius, while James where just staring at him with a contemplative look in his eyes.

Harry smirked and raised an eyebrow at his father, who turned his head when he was caught staring. James turned to Sirius, said a few words and Sirius sighed in defeat. It made Harry certainly wonder what his father had said to his Godfather. Maybe he could get close to them, if three of their group accepted him.

Turning his attention back to the Headboy next to him, he saw that said Headboy had disappeared without him noticing it. It had always annoyed Harry when Severus pulled that off in his time, and was even more annoyed that he could pull it off in this time too.

Harry grumbled in annoyance and then proceeded to load his plate with eggs and breakfast and silently ate it, until Lily came towards him.

"Hello, Liam." She said, and then flushed. "Or do you prefer your last name, since you hadn't told us your name before." Lily was nervously biting her bottom lip while he was silent.

Then he chuckled and Lily's relieve was evident on her face.

"Bastard, making me nervous for nothing. Anyway, Liam, I'm going to show you the Slytherin dorms, since Severus ran off again." Lily looked a bit put out with that, and Harry could have sworn she mumbled git or something like that under her breath. Harry smirked at that and followed his mother out of the Great hall.

Later that night, Harry was searching his trunk for what Severus (Headmaster Severus) had packed for him. He hadn't had time to do it himself, whit visiting his friends, parents' and family's graves. He had said goodbye to the few people he had left, and Severus had offered to pack for him. Molly Weasly had thrown him a leaving party with the few that where left of them: Severus had been there, Remus, Bill and George Weasly, professor McGonagall, Nymphadora Tonks and her mother Andromeda, Seamus Finnigan, Blaise Zabini, and Ginny Weasly. There were not many of them left, but Harry had come back to the past to change that little fact.

Harry whooped in delight when he saw that Severus had packed some leftovers from the party, and he propped one of the famous pastry pies from Molly into his mouth. He pulled the leftovers out and stored them under his bed, placing a cooling charm on them, so they stayed fresh. He looked further into his trunk and discovered his favourite sleeping shirt. A shirt that had belonged to Sirius and that Harry had stolen out of his Godfathers closet a few days before the man had been killed. It was a muggle band shirt (Guns N' Roses), and had been Sirius' absolute favourite. He could always be found singing 'Sweet child of mine' when Harry was around.

He started humming the song and leaned even further into the trunk. The next thing he came up with was his dad's invisibility cloak and Harry smiled. He should have known Severus would pack the thing. After that, he found his Firebolt and was thrilled with the idea of getting to fly that broomstick, instead of the horribly slow broomsticks they would surely have in this time. Although he would only be using it when nobody else was around.

Harry was almost in tears when he sat back holding the next item in his hands. He was Severus utterly grateful for packing this. It was his photo book. It was the same one Hagrid had given him in his first year, but Harry had extended the book with photographs from his school years. He opened the book and slowly examined every picture before turning to the next page. He smiled when he saw Ron, Hermione and himself waving at him. He caressed a picture where Sirius had him in a headlock on the couch. His frowned when he turned the page to find a picture of his mum and dad on their wedding day. He was really curious what the story behind that picture was, now that he had seen his dad kissing Severus. He shrugged and turned the page again. This time it was a picture of the Marauders when they had last been together. Remus had given him that picture at the leaving party, saying that Harry would need to recognize them when he met their younger selves. Harry slammed the book shut, and lay it on his bedside table. He would look through it when he had more time.

He dove back into the trunk and this time he came up with the Marauder map. Harry grinned. That artefact would prove to be useful. Harry put the map aside and looked into the trunk one last time. He found a thick envelope with his name on it. When he turned the envelope, it simply said:

Open this on your Graduation day. Good luck Harry.

It was in Severus' neat handwriting and Harry was quite curious for the contents of the envelope, but he would settle his curiosity for now and follow Severus' guideline. He placed the envelope in between the photo book and sat down on his bed, grabbing the map once more.

For anyone who hadn't noticed: Liam Jackson was chosen because of LIam and JAckson: in other words LIly and JAmes. I thought it would be a change from Harry Evans, or James Evans or whatever...

Curious about the envelope? Well, you're not the only one ;)
