Before
and After the End
Chapter
IV
Harry
was excited; one could tell by the way he was jumping up and down. It was starting to get of Severus’s nerves
but then again, it was the day all the students would arrive to Hogwarts.
“Harry
calm down,” Severus said sternly.
“I
can’t wait to see my friends; I haven’t talked to them all summer,” Harry
answered with a smile, as he tail waved happily.
Severus
gave Harry a small smile and a nodded.
They
were outside the Grand Hall waiting for the Headmaster to introduce him.
Severus
didn’t have the heart to tell them that there was a chance that his friends
would no longer accept them. But he
hoped that Miss Granger and Mr. Weasley were better then that.
Harry
had his ear pressed to the door, and listened to the sorting hat.
“There
are more Ravenclaws this year,” Harry whispered his tail swaying behind him.
The
staff, expect Professor Snape, were in their usual seats. Severus had decided to stay with Harry until
it was time.
The
rest of the staff had been delighted with Harry. All treating him like an adorable
kitten. Severus didn’t blame them; you
could always count on the Hogwarts staff to be truly noble at heart with a few
exceptions. Severus had sat down with
all of them a week ago when they arrive and explained the truth. Between him and Hagrid
that had made sure they understand, and thankfully they did.
He
had been surprised when Hagrid proved to be very
knowledgeable about the Fey. It was in
private that he admitted to have some Fey blood in
him. But it was greatly suppressed by
the giant blood in him. He had learned
that he had a great number of magic creatures’ blood in him. But they were all sadly suppressed by his
giant blood. Can you imagine that oaf
had some veela blood in him, too?
Thou
it did explain a lot how he got along so well with the magical creatures. Tenderness and love could only go so far; it
always seemed that he had a deeper connection with them.
He
was brought back to the present by the gentle tug on his sleeve.
“It’s
time,” Harry stated with happiness but Severus did not miss the fear that
flashed in his eyes for a second.
Severus
smiled softly and gave Harry a gentle push.
“As
all of you may have noticed Mr. Harry Potter is not among you,” Albus
started. That was a complete
understatement. The Gryffindor looked worried and the rest of the houses looked
curious.
“Do
not be alarmed, he is safe and well, anxious to return to his friends but
well. Thou, I will warn you he appears
different they he did the last time you saw him, but he is still the same
person. I implore you to keep that in
mind,” Albus stated.
When
he was done, the side door opened and out came a timid Harry Potter. Gasps erupted from the houses followed by
whispered.
Harry
ears drooped when he heard what they were saying, and Severus just glared.
He’s a Fey!
How is that possible?
The Headmaster can’t possibly keep
him here, he a dangerous creature!
He has
to go!
And I thought he couldn’t be a
bigger freak!
“Silence,”
Albus shouted and he stood from his chair.
It was not evident on his face, but it spoke clearly in his eyes how
disappointed his was. The rest of the
staff didn’t even try to hide their disappointment, it was clearly written all
over their faces.
When
everyone stopped talking, Hermione looked around, somewhat in shocked of how
people were talking. So what if he had
fluffy ears and a tail, personally she thought he looked adorable. Standing proud and tall she walked up to
Harry, and mentally cursed her classmates when she saw the heartbroken look on
his face.
She
gave him a smile, which caused one to appear on his face.
Quickly
she gave him a tight hug.
“Oh,
Harry you had me so worried when you didn’t return any of my letters, then you
didn’t appear on the train. But all is
well, and oh you look so cute,” she smiled as she lead him to the seat next to
her.
Ignoring
all the shocked looks and stares they were receiving she sat him down next to
her. She let a small sigh of relief when
Ginny who had been sitting on the other side of Harry starting talking to him
excitedly. Stating how cute he looked,
and how she loved his ears. It was to be
expected Hermione and Ginny loved cats.
Hermione
quickly cast a glance and frowned when she noticed Ron wasn’t directly looking
at them, trying to ignore them. She
would have to deal with that later.
At
his seat, Severus held the smile that threatened to appear of his lips. He was happy that Harry had someone. Harry seemed happy with just those two. It was when they couldn’t be with him that
worried Severus. But he would have to
have a talk with Miss Granger before someone poisoned her mind with
idiocy. The rest of the staff ate in
silence watching over their houses.
The
students made their way to their dorms, all quietly whispering about the days
event.
The
Gryffindor common room was fairly quiet thou, no one seemed brave enough to say
anything, which was rather ironic.
Strange
thou, the only ones that weren’t in the common room, where some of the seventh
year boys, Harry’s dorm mates to be exact.
All
remain quiet until, there was a large disturbance and a shriek of an owl.
Harry
stood from his chair, and the boys throw his trunk down and manhandle his owl.
“Hedwig,”
Harry cried and held the cage closely.
“We
don’t want the likes of you staying with us,” Ron stated as he crossed his
arms.
“Ronald,”
Hermione shouted.
“Hermione,
I understand you, you’re a muggle born, you know nothing about the sort of
thing Harry is, but you Ginny. You know
full well what he is,” he stated heatedly.
“And
you know Harry. You all do, I can’t
believe you’re all so dense that you can not see that,” Ginny shouted.
“It
no use Ginny, we all taken a vote. Harry
isn’t welcome here, none of us want him here,” a voice said.
Harry
looked around but none of the Gryffindors had the courage to look him in the
eye.
“I
see, if that’s how you feel, and then I’ll go,” Harry said and got his things.
“Harry,”
Hermione started but stopped when Ron took hold of her arm.
“Let
him go, Hermione,” Ron stated.
She
narrowed his eyes at him, but by the time, she looked away Harry was gone.
She
yanked herself free from Ron’s grip and ran outside and looked around. Harry was gone, Ginny had followed her
outside. They were about to search for
him, when a gentle voice stopped him.
“Don’t
worry dears, he’s fine. Just went off
where he knows he’s wanted,” the fat lady said softly.
“But
he’s wanted here,” Ginny whispered.
“He’s
always welcome here by me, dears, but I think its best, you two can’t be with
him all the time,” she continued.
“Off
to bed, before they catch you,” she finished and the girls nodded.
Walking
inside they were greeted by an angry Ron and a quiet, full common room.
“Some
Gryffindor you are,” Hermione hissed and stormed away with Ginny following.
“Hermione,”
“Don’t
talk to me,” she shouted then slammed the door.
“How
is he?” a soft voice asked.
“Still
weak, but better, he should be back by tomorrow,” another answered.
The
dim light flicked in the living quarters, relieving tree individuals.
“I
hate that he had to go through this,” a female whispered.
“It
couldn’t be helped, dear,”
“I
know,”
Severus
looked at his two distraught friends that he had known all of his life. From best friends to childhood sweethearts to
happily married couple, Lucius and Narcissa had always been there for him.
“Severus,”
a hiss called.
Severus
turned to the portrait that was his door.
“Yes,”
“Kitty
is outside crying,” it answered.
Kitty
being the pet name the portrait had given Harry.
“Hid,
I haven’t told him about you,” Severus stated and he reached of a necklace he
had left on the table and put it on. He
tucked away and answered the door.
Outside sitting on his trunk, the only thing
he owned, and clutching the bird cage with a snow owl trying to comfort her
master was one Harry Potter.
“Harry?”
Severus called.
His
heart ached, when the young boy looked up at him with tear stained eyes.
“Sev,”
Harry cried as he quickly but gently set Hedwig down and jumped into Severus’s
open arms.
“They
voted me out, Sev, Ron and the others don’t want me,” Harry sobbed and clung
closer to Severus.
“I’m
sorry, I didn’t know where else to go,” Harry said as the sobs subsided.
“It’s
alright, come inside,” Severus said softly and led Harry to his bed.
While
Harry had been here, Severus had created a bed for the boy in an extra room he
had making Harry’s room.
Lying
down, Harry clutched his pillow, while Severus soothed him, moments later he
fell into a deep sleep brought on by emotional fatigue.
Turning
he saw that Lucius and Narcissa had silently brought in Harry’s things.
Walking
out, he thanked them.
“The
poor boy, must he go through so much,” Narcissa stated. She couldn’t fathom of any of that ever
happened to Draco.
“Severus
if in deed you have gotten so close to him, you should tell him everything,”
Lucius said as he pulled out Severus’s necklace.
“It’s
best he learns know, Sev, he might think you didn’t trust him enough to tell
him,” Narcissa said.
Severus nodded and led his friends to
the fireplace.
“Give
Draco, my condolence,” he said to his friends.
They
said their goodbyes, and were gone in a flash of floo.
Severus
signed and sat down on his armchair, what was he going to do?
Hope
you like it. Sorry I haven’t updated in
so long.
