The first step
The rest of the day went over fast and after dinner Harry made his way down to Snapes office. He was curios but also really nervous. He had no Idea what the man could want. He knocked and after he heard Snape tell him to enter, he opened the door and stepped in. Snape sat behind his desk writing a letter. He looked up and said:
"Give me a minute I’m almost done". Harry waited and looked at his hands.
"Potter I asked you here because I saw you last night wondering around the castle." Harry interrupted him.
"You said this wasn´t about detention." Harry said.
"It´s not. You should know when I saw you last night you weren´t alone. I have to admit I was curious and listened in on your conversation" Harrys eyes widened a little, but he said nothing.
"Where did you get these scars Potter and why were your rips broken?" Snape asked looking, no starring at him searching his face for the smallest reactions.
"I don´t know… I fell." He tried.
"Don´t lie to me Potter!" Snape snapped. Harry flinched and glared at him.
"Fine! My uncle doesn´t really like things that aren´t normal and I just happen to fit that category." Harry said looking down on his hands again. Snape was flabbergasted. Potter´s family did this to him? He couldn´t believe it.
"Potter I´m afraid I have to notify the headmaster about this."
"No!” Harry almost screamed. Snape was baffled.
"And why not Potter, surely you want to see this people punished."
"Well for one the old coot already knows."
"Potter! Language! twenty points from Gryffindor for your disrespect."
"That´s Bullshit Sir! I have my reasons for being mad you don´t.."
"I don´t what Potter?" Snape spat.
"Fine! I told him my uncle is abusive at the start of third year. You know after I ran away from home. I told him until I got my Hogwarts letter, I lived in a cupboard under the stairs. The letter was addressed to cupboard under the stairs so the Dursleys got scarred that one of the freaks would come and punish them, it was only then they gave me a bedroom. Until I got to preschool, I thought my name was Boy. I was treated like a house elf since I was three. Cooking meals and cleaning the house. Essentially tending to their every need all my life. I got beaten multiple times a day and raped by the man who should have protected me since the age of five." Snape went pale.
"I begged him not to send me back there, but he told me that he was sorry but that I have to go back for the blood protection wards on my aunt’s house. He sent me back their every summer, even after Voldemort came back. Told me again I needed the protection. But the wards are no good. Voldemort used my blood to come back he can get in there at any given time anyway. Last year I asked Dumbledore if there was a will. You know from my parents. I thought maybe there would be a letter. My parents knew after all that Voldemort was after them. He told me that there is and when I asked him if I could see it, he just told me no. When I asked why, he told me it was destroyed in a fire years ago, but he could tell me what it said. On my 17th Birthday though a letter from Gringotts came asking me to come in for the reading of my parents will." Snape raised a brow. That was indeed a little weird.
"There are a few other things that bothered me, but I won´t get into all of them. That would take too long but for example that he told me the prophecy only after I did something stupid, and someone was killed. If I had known earlier, I wouldn´t have gone to the department of mysteries and Sirius would still be alive. Not to mention the years I could have trained. I mean I knew Voldemort was after me, but had I known that I am the one who has to kill him… I would have used my time for better things than playing quidditch or going to Hogsmeade" They were quiet for a few minutes.
"I have to admit I never thought about that. The wards I mean. But I doubt that Albus would overlook something like that he has to know" he concluded more talking to himself than to Harry. He answered anyway.
"Yeah, right everything the man is doing he´s doing on purpose. He left me completely in the dark about everything. Do you know that I nearly know nothing about my parents? I didn´t know I am Lord Potter. I didn´t even know there is such a thing than lords in the wizarding world." A devious gleam entered his eyes he smirked to himself.
"What?" Snape asked.
"Well, I really got pissed last year after Sirius dead so decided that I can play this game too" he said.
"What do you mean?" Snape asked. Harry smirked at him.
"Oh… I conveniently forgot telling him that I am infect not only Lord Potter but through a Ritual Sirius did with me I am know also Lord Black." His grin widened when he saw the shocked look on his Professors face.
`That is very Slytherin,` Snape thought.
`Not so stupid than I thought, is he? With that Information being not officially known Potter has a huge advantage. He is now the richest man not only in England but in all of Europe. I wonder if he knows how much power comes with him being Lord Black.`
The Potters had great influence in this world, but the Blacks were the only royal family left. With Potter being Lord Black and Lord Potter, he was now even more powerful than the minister of Magic.
`I will make sure I teach him exactly what his place is know that he is of age. Maybe when I play my cards right, I could be able to safe Draco as well.`
"I don´t know." Potter interrupted his thoughts.
"I don´t have any proof of wrongdoing by Dumbledore as of yet, but I have a feeling that very soon I will find something. I have a bad feeling about him and normally my feeling is a fairly good guide." Severus had to agree something felt wrong about this.
"Sir?" Snape looked at him.
"I wanted you to know that I am really sorry about the whole pensive incident. I know I apologized before, but I want you to know that I mean it. I´m sorry about looking in it and about what I saw."
"I accept your apology for looking at it, but you cannot apologize for something you did not do, can you?" Harry shook his head.
"No and I wasn´t… I meant I´m sorry it happened in the first place. My cousin bullied me all the time. At home and in School. I had nobody because everyone was afraid of him. And everybody knew that he didn´t like me so no one was dumb enough to be my friend…" He trailed of for a second but then started talking again.
"I hate to admit this to you, but you were right about my father, and Sirius for that matter. They were Ignorant, arrogant and cruel. They were bullies who thought themselves better than anyone else." A sad look entered his eyes.
"I don´t condone it and I´m sorry. But most of all I´m sorry that I am not able to hate them for it. But I know now that you have every right to do so." Snape swallowed. He didn´t expect Potter to be this open.
"It´s alright Potter. I am not mad because you cannot bring yourself to hate them. They were you´re family. Everyone does stupid things when their young." Harry shrugged.
"Yeah maybe... Are we done for now? I need to ask my friends a few questions. What time is it?" He looked at his watch.
"Oh no I’m almost late I don´t have time to get the potion."
"What potion do you require to talk to your friends for Potter?" Snape asked now he was really curios.
"Veritaserum Sir." Harry answered casually. Snape looked at him puzzled.
"Whatever for?" he asked.
" I need to know once and for all if I can trust them. There is just too much at stake. I trust no one really. Well, except for you that is. " Now that had Snape feeling like he ran against a wall.
How did the boy come to that conclusion?
"And how is that Potter? You don´t know anything about me." Harry looked into his eyes.
"Maybe… but Sir you wouldn´t safe someone’s life, time and again if you didn´t care somewhat." Snape was just about to protest when Potter said.
"Maybe you don´t particularly like me but in the end, we want the same thing." Snape narrowed his eyes. Wondering what gave the boy the confidence to assume anything about him. He was Interested how the boy saw him though, so he asked
"And what is that Potter." Harry stood up and said:
"Well freedom of course Professor and the opportunity to make your own choices for ones in your life. I know exactly what it feels like to have no Power over your life. But that is about to change. Sorry Professor, but I must hurry if I don´t want them to get too mad at me.” He turned and walked towards the door.
"Potter, wait." Snape said, went to his cabinet and took out two vials of potions and handed it to him.
"The other one is the antidote" He said. Their hands met for a second and Harry looked up into black eyes. For a moment, their just looked at each other. Harry cleared his throat."
“Thank you, Professor." He mumbled a light flush creeping up his cheeks.
“Your welcome Potter.” Harry had to fight to look away, but he did.
"I should go." He turned around and left. He didn´t have to ask the man to keep quiet. Snape was shocked by the revelation that Potter trusted Him. Trusted HIM and distrusted Dumbledore. The world was a crazy place. But Severus knew. Never in his life would he do something to dishonour Harry’s trust. Harry when did the brat become Harry to him? He wondered. Too much on his mind he decided to leave that question for later. He was tired. With not having slept the night before. He stumbled in his private chambers, and in his bedroom. For him at least it would be an early night.
