A/N: I'm sorry guys! I've been suffering from a bad cold and I only just started feeling better today…

Chapter 12

Harry followed Severus inside and was quite shocked at how clean the house was.

"You keep it spick and span," Harry noted.

Severus smiled. "I don't like dust in my house," he said matter-of-factly, "Now come, I'll show you your room."

"I get a room? All to myself?" Harry asked, practically gaping at Severus.

"Of course," Severus said, surprised. The boy acts as if he's never had a room in his life…then again, he probably hasn't considering who he lived with.

They walked up a flight of stairs and stopped at a closed door, which Severus opened with a flourish. "This is your room," he said, gesturing towards the large, spacious room.

If they hadn't been attached, Harry's eyes probably would've fallen right out of their sockets.

To the right of the bedroom door was a large, comfortable looking bed with sky blue blankets that matched the brilliantly painted walls. To one side of the bed was the bedside table with a medieval looking lamp on it; to the other side was the closet which was extremely large and spacious. To the left of the door was the bathroom, and to the right of the bathroom was the window, which overlooked the forest behind Severus's house.

"It's wonderful, Severus, I love it!" Harry said happily.

"I figured you would; it used to be a guest room before you came along," Severus replied with a smirk. "Go ahead and start unpacking, why don't you? I'll be downstairs making dinner

A/N: sorry it's so short guys but I'm still recovering from the stupid cold and I couldn't think of a better place to end the chapter…stupid cold is screwing up my brain!

Lily love snowdrop: Not exactly, see, Severus said he wasn't going to let Harry go back to the Dursleys so Dumbledore was wondering where else to send him, so Severus just automatically said, "He can live with me." So yeah.

Dramatic-Demon: like I said to Lily Love Snowdrop, Severus didn't adopt Harry, but more than likely he will. What happened was Severus didn't want Harry going back to the Dursleys, so Dumbledore was wondering where else he could send him, and Severus automatically said, "He can live with me." As far as your second question goes, it'll be Dumbledore bashing just because, I really don't like him, but no Ron bashing. :)
