Chapter 10
"So! This is what you've been keeping from me? Well isn't that bloody nice? My own 'best friend' doesn't even tell me anything anymore! I mean honestly! And how can you be going to live with Snape? I thought we both agreed that he's a bloody git! Or this just you turning Slytherin? You know, I'm starting to think the Sorting Hat might've been right about you. You should've been in bloody Slytherin!" Ron yelled angrily.
Harry cringed at Ron's words. Maybe he should've been in Slytherin.
"Mr. Weasley," Severus began angrily, but Ron cut him off.
"YOU! TURNING MY BEST FRIEND INTO A TRAITOR! YOU BLOODY BASTARD! I HATE YOU, HARRY! DON'T EVER SPEAK TO ME AGAIN!" and Ron turned on his heel and left before Harry could even get a word in.
Harry felt tears brimming in his eyes again. In one stride, Severus had crossed the room and was holding Harry in his arms.
"If I ever lay eyes on that boy again…" Severus growled angrily. He hated seeing Harry so upset, and worse, he hated that there wasn't much he could do about it. "Shh, it's alright, Harry. I'll make sure he doesn't get away with it."

"Ronald Weasley! I cannot believe you did that to your best friend!" Hermione retorted angrily to Ron.
"He's going to live with bloody Snape! And he's not my friend anymore," Ron protested.
"Honestly, Ron! You are so hateful sometimes! You know Harry doesn't have anybody to talk to when he's at his aunt and uncle's, and at school he only has us. He hasn't got a mentor or father figure, and he really needs one. And quite personally I think Professor Snape is perfect for that, so why don't you give it a chance?"
"Because it's Snape, Hermione! Are you hearing this? Snape!"
Hermione shook her head. "Boys," she huffed, and stalked angrily away.
