Summary: A foolhardy Dumbledore attempts to change fate, he gains more and less then he bargained for. Creature fic. Future Mpreg.
Chapter 16
Severus despite Lucius' bullying lessons in politics had no natural gift and despite his Slytherin nature could see no way to utilize his knowledge about Harry's parentage.
Due to his status as a Death Eater spy as well as Albus' mulishness in the case of Harry's placement with his mother's Muggle adopted sister.
The only good thing about having George help him brew that genealogy potion was to have proved his belief that George Weasley had the possibility of being a fine Potions Master.
Severus doubted that Lucius' influence with Fudge would help, especially when Fudge was in agreement about Harry growing up outside the Wizarding world for the boy's 'own good'.
Severus had heard that phrase bandied about when it was discussed that Spinners' End was unsafe for him when he was younger.
Yet he heard over and over it was best that he stay with his mother, even if the entirety of Cokeworth Village knew his father was a drunk, unemployed git who beat his wife and child...
Never mind that his mother was a drunken depressive mess who couldn't be trusted with a child...
If it weren't for the Evans, Severus wouldn't know there were decent parents in the world much less kind people.
Being a Slytherin, Severus did not like the realization that he couldn't scheme Harry out of the Dursleys without setting someone up for kidnapping charges.
Remus Lupin while living out of the Magical World but not of the Muggle World, was one of Dumbledore's lackeys who had to be spoon-fed their own thoughts. Lupin owed Albus too much to be able to thwart him even for blood.
Lupin had been orphaned just before graduation, just as James Potter was...
Other than the news that Harry had a Wizarding blood relation and that Thomas was actually a Dearborn, they hadn't learned much for their pains...
The best Severus could do was help Harry with his magic via tutoring; let him know that while he couldn't get him out of the Dursleys yet, he would help him survive.
Draco and George were brewing potions to see to it that the damage from the abuse and starvation that Harry suffered at the hands of his Muggle guardians could be health.
If possibly, Severus would find a way for a real healer to examine the boy but for now all he could do was take notes and build up the boy's confidence as well as tell him stories about his mother.
Since Severus had little good to tell Harry about his sire, he preferred to skim over his history with James Potter or better yet say nothing...
XooooooX
Between his tutoring in Severus' office with his friends and his dream lessons from Ieson and his mum, Harry was learning quite fast...
He was creeping ahead in marks and gaining strange attention from the Headmaster that sent chills down his spine.
Harry flitted back and forth between his friends who were the top four of their year: Hermione, Draco, Theo and Blaise.
Harry stayed close to his friends but mostly his Gryffindor boys because they shared every class together and took turns watching out for Hermione like bodyguards.
Dean and Neville had become almost brothers after learning they were the offspring of twins. You couldn't find two boys less alike in appearance but Dean did well enough in Transfiguration and Potions to help Neville progress with the class. Neville on the other hand was top in Herbology and was the best at identifying plants.
Before Herbology quizzes and tests, Neville would drill them so they could identify plants by description and sketch.
Another thing those two had in common was art…
Must be a Dearborn thing…
Draco and Theo were top marks in Potions of course; Harry was keen in Transfiguration, Potions and Charms. He put in very little effort in Defence; he really didn't want to be pushed to be something he wasn't.
Harry freaked when the Headmaster and McGonagall both sent him a note insisting he meet them to discuss his marks.
Harry tore the notes; he glared up at the Head table and shook his head violently.
He wasn't going to meet them, he would take detention. He walked up to Snape, "I think I deserve detention."
Snape blinked at him, "Why?"
"Because I am not going to meet either of them." He said jerking his thumb at the Headmaster and Deputy Headmistress.
"How long are you scrubbing cauldrons?"
"Forever?" Harry asked hopefully.
"How about just until winter holidays?" Snape sighed.
Harry nodded, "Thank you!"
How was this kid related to James Potter again? They were nothing alike…
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
