Chapter 3

"Lemon drops," Severus said to the gargoyle in front of Dumbledore's office. As soon as it had moved out of his way, he hurried up the stairs and entered Dumbledore's office without knocking.

"Oh, hello, Severus. Lemon drop?" Dumbledore asked, his eyes twinkling eerily.

"Why must you always offer me one of those disgusting lemon drops?" Severus growled impatiently. "Why did you send Harry to the Dursleys?" he asked, getting straight to the point. Subtlety had never exactly been his best point. Dumbledore looked quite surprised by the question. "Why, Severus, I thought you said you didn't care about the boy, and, to answer your question, I sent him because they were his only family left, and it was the only way to seal the Blood Binds," Dumbledore replied.

"Maybe I didn't give a bloody damn before, Dumbledore, but I do now! And, for your information, the Blood Binds don't work unless the people you're living with love you, and Harry's aunt and uncle clearly don't love him! After what happened with me, I thought you might've seen the signs by now, but no, YOU BLOODY WENT AND SENT HIM THERE ANYWAY! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, ALBUS WULFRIC BRIAN PERCIVAL DUMBLEDORE?" Severus's temper had finally reached above boiling point. He was satisfied to see that Dumbledore looked as if he'd just been slapped. Then, looking directly into his eyes, Severus growled, "I absolutely will not let him go back to those damn muggles. You can rest assure of that," and then, with an angry sneer at Dumbledore's direction, he turned on his heel and hurried out.

Harry walked back to his dormitory wondering what the bloody hell had just happened. Did Snape actually care about him?

"Oy, Potter! What did Professor Snape want? Did he give you a detention? Oh blimey I hope he did!" came a familiar sneering voice.

Harry glared up at his worst enemy: Draco Malfoy. "What do you want Malfoy?" he asked; he was not in the mood to mess with Malfoy now.

"Oh, just thought I'd come and congratulate you on irritating our Potions teacher yet again, Potter. Have a nice summer break," and with a sneer, Malfoy hurried down the corridor and out of sight.

"Oy, mate! Did Snape give you detention for life? Did he take off points? Did he-"

"Ron, calm down, and stop talking so fast," Harry replied. He'd no sooner walked into his Common Room when Ron was surrounding him, asking him all about what happened in Snape's dungeon.

"But, mate, what did he do? Tell me!" Ron asked, looking anxiously at Harry.

"Nothing. He didn't do anything." Harry replied, not wanting to tell him what had happened in the dungeons.

"Wait…nothing? You're telling me that Professor Snape, the most bloody frightening teacher in the whole school, who hates you just because you look like your dad, did nothing?" Ron asked, flabbergasted.

"Yeah, that's exactly what I'm telling you," Harry said, and hurried up to the dormitory before Ron could say another word.

A/N: So how did you like it? I tried to make it long and everything. R&R!
