Hey Everyone, it's me, I know that I have been off for a very long time but please trust me, I was trying to get a break from all the writing. I had to deal with school and the drama that comes with it, but I hope you guys like it.
Harry Potter is not mine, I am not the one who wrote it, it was J.K Rowling.
Harry opened the letter and read through it, he scoffed at it.
"Is this some type of joke?" It even had a list for crying out loud! Harry then thought.
"If this isn't a prank, then this is a way to get away from the Dursleys, I can finally be away from the abuse!" He snuck out of his cupboard and searched for a pen and paper, the pen was easy to find as well, and the paper was a bit harder to find but he could find it, the envelopes were by the desk so he grabbed one, and he wrote.
"My name is Harry Potter, can you please send someone over to my house because I have some questions about this school of yours. Signed, Harry Potter." Once he was finished writing the letter he heard a tap on the window, he looked to see an owl sitting on the windowsill, he walked to the window and opened it, the owl flew in and landed on the table, it extended its leg to him, he hesitantly gave it the letter, it startled him by flying through the window after it received the letter, he quickly snuck back into his cupboard before his uncle got to the stairs.
4 days later
Harry was packing a bowl for his bong when he heard a knock at the front door, he then heard his aunt yell.
"Boy! Open the door!" Harry grumbled but got up, he pushed his cupboard door open and closed it when he got out, Harry walked to the door and opened it, he then said.
"Whatever your selling we're not buying, unless it's we..." He saw a man wearing a black cloak and had black hair, the man also had a hook for a nose, and the man sneered and said.
"What were you going to say, ?" He heard his aunt yell out again.
"Boy! You better not be holding up the guest or I swear to god I will... YOU!" The man looked at her and sneered even harder.
"Petunia." Harry's aunt didn't respond, instead, she glared at him.
"What are you doing here, Severus?" The now-named Severus responded with a cold and distant voice.
"I am here to take to Diagon Alley so that we can get his supplies." Petunia's face turned into a bright red color, and she then screeched.
"THAT BOY IS NOT GOING TO THAT SCHOOL! NOT AFTER MY FOOLISH SISTER GOT HERSELF BLOWN UP!" Harry turned to her.
"Got blown up! You told me it was a car crash that killed them, and how I got my scar!" Severus glared at Petunia.
"You would dare lie to him, keeping him from knowing his heritage? How his parents died? how he saved the entire wizarding world as a mere infant? You are just as despicable and idiotic as you were when you were a child." Harry turned to Severus.
"You knew my parents?" Severus turned to Harry and his eyes softened so lightly that anyone else wouldn't have noticed, only Harry did.
"Yes, I did, but let's get your stuff before we speak of your parents, grab onto my hand, and fair warning, this might make you sick." Severus held out his hand, and Harry grabbed it gingerly before he was swept off his feet, everything was pitch black and there was no air, he tried screaming out but there was no sound coming out of his mouth, once he landed he fell to his knees and was dry heaving, Severus quickly grabbed something from his cloak.
"Here, take this, it's a Pepper-Up potion, it should help." Harry grabbed it and uncorked it, he tilted his head back and drank the potion, he grimaced a bit at the taste but started feeling better, he got up and huffed a bit.
"What was that?" Severus smirked at him.
"That was Apparating, it is similar to teleporting but not at the same time." Harry nodded.
"I never really got your name." Severus nodded.
"You're right. My name is Severus Snape, I am a professor at Hogwarts, and I teach potions." Harry nodded, he was about to say something but Severus held his hand up.
"I know who you are, practically everyone who has magic or descended from a magical family knows who you are." Harry looked at him with a skeptical look but shrugged.
"You can call me Harry then, sounds like I am in trouble." Severus raised his eyebrow.
"You may call me Severus then, call me Professor Snape when we are in public or at school." Harry nodded.
"Where are we going to go, I don't have any money on me, only a couple of things and a lighter," Severus smirked a bit.
"Your parents didn't leave you nothing, all their money is at Gringotts, the wizarding world uses its currency, and if you have any money then you can exchange it at Gringotts." Harry nodded again, he then looked at Severus.
"What do you know of my parents, what were they like?" Severus's eyes widened a bit, then a soft look adopted his features.
"Your mother was one of the smartest people I knew, She was my best friend while growing up, I taught her a bit about the magical world when we both discovered that she had magic, your father on the other hand was arrogant and a bully, but he wasn't arrogant for nothing, his arrogance was earned." Harry nodded slowly, and they walked up to a shady pub, Harry looked around to see if there was anyone who could see the same thing, but nobody else was staring at it, almost as if it wasn't there, He then heard Severus speak.
"It's charmed so that muggles won't be able to see it." Harry looked at him confused, Severus seemed to pick up on that.
"Non-magical folk." Harry scrunched his nose.
"It sounds like an insult." Severus's eyes widened a bit but became thoughtful.
"It does, oh well, let's get inside quickly." The two walked into the bar and Harry was instantly assaulted by the smell of tobacco and alcohol, he ignored it, he then turned to Severus.
"Hey, is there a drinking or smoking age in the wizarding world?" Severus looked at Harry with a weird look.
"No, but Hogwarts doesn't permit drinking at the castle, why do you ask?" Harry nodded and grabbed one of the joints that he rolled earlier, he put it in his mouth and was going to light it up when he saw Severus looking at him with a surprised look, Harry asked.
"What?" Severus looked startled for a moment.
"I wasn't expecting to see you smoke, even at your age I never smoked." Harry shrugged.
"It wasn't my fault that I was locked outside and found Marijuana growing in their garden." Severus looked at him with an even face, but Harry saw the fire that was lit when he mentioned that he was locked outside of the house.
"Your relatives locked you outside?" Harry nodded, he then heard him whisper.
"Dammit Dumbledore, you said he was safe." Harry lit the joint in his mouth and inhaled the smoke, he took the joint out of his mouth and held it out for Severus, Severus looked confused, so Harry sighed, exhaling the smoke.
"You look like you might need a hit." Severus took the joint gingerly and put it in his mouth, he inhaled but started to cough from the smoke, and Harry patted his back.
"It's alright, just do it slowly." Severus coughed a bit and started to inhale the smoke again, he held it in and passed the joint back to Harry, who took another hit, he then slowly exhaled, and Harry looked at him with a look of pride.
"You are definitely my favorite teacher now." Severus looked at him but started feeling the effects, he almost stumbled but was able to stand, he then said.
"Now, let's go to Gringotts so that we can get the money for your supplies." Harry nodded and put out the joint and put it in his pocket, they walked into the alleyway, Harry was starting to get a bit suspicious until Severus spoke.
"This is the entrance to Diagon Alley, I am going to tap a certain spot of the wall and I am only doing it once, so memorize it." Harry nodded, he watched as Severus tapped a brick three times and watched as the brick shifted, then more started to shift, and before he knew it, he was staring into a market filled with people, He looked in awe as Severus watched him with a soft look, Severus then thought.
"That was the same look his mother had when she first saw Diagon Alley." He shook his head a bit, clearing the memory away.
"Now let's go to Gringotts, it's straight ahead." They walked down the path while Harry was trying to take in all the sights, he then thought.
"If this is a dream this is the greatest I had in a long time." After a short while they made it to the front of the steps, Severus looked at Harry.
"Just to warn you, Harry, there are magical creatures as well, some sentient most not, the beings that run Gringotts are called Goblins, they are warrior folk who know how to bargain and trade." Harry nodded, and they entered the bank, they walked to a bronze door guarded by a pair of goblins, and they nodded at them in respect as they opened the door, Severus nodded back at as Harry bowed to them in respect, which surprised the goblins but bowed back at him, they then walked to a pair of silver doors, this time there were words inscribed in them.
"Enter, stranger, take heed of what awaits the sin of greed, for those who take, but do not earn, must pay most dearly in their turn. So if you seek beneath our floors a treasure that was never yours, thief, you have been warned, beware of finding more than treasure there*." Harry looked at Severus.
"Who would be mad to rob this place? the security seems super tight." Severus, still feeling the effects of the weed, nodded a bit slowly and said.
"You are correct, Goblins take every precaution to protect the bank and its valuables, there are rumors that there are dragons that protect the older vaults." Harry nodded, they walked up to the teller and Severus spoke to the chairman.
"Hello, head goblin, would like to access his trust vault." The chairman peered down at Harry, who shifted a little, the goblin then turned to one of his brethren and said something in a different language, the other nodded and walked to a different area, the goblin then said.
"Could you please wait a moment, I need to inform his accountant that Heir Potter is here." Severus raised an eyebrow but nodded, they then went and sat down at one of the chairs in the lobby, Harry then turned to Severus.
"What's happening? Is this normal?" Severus shook his head, they then heard a voice in front of them.
"Heir Potter, if you could please follow me, you too, Professor Snape." They both stood up and walked behind the goblin, the people who were doing their business gossiping about what was happening.
Hey everyone! I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I kind of had to study the book again to see if I got the correct wording for the Gringotts wording right, but I hope you had a good read!
