CHAPTER 7
After their lunch at a pub, they got Harrys contacts and then went to the police office.
Once Harry told the officer some of his childhood experiances at the Dursley's and they showed him the documents that showed Severus' guardianship of Harry and Harrys ownership of the house in Surrey, the officer was livid.
"Misters Snape and Potter, I'm sincerely sorry for what happened to you, and if you'd excuse me for a moment, then I'd get some of my collegues and we'll take care of the Dursleys. Feel free to come with us to see, that justice is taken care of. If you'd like to have some coffee and donuts while I'm explaining your case to my captain, the break rom is right over there."
While they waited for the police men to come to get them, they helped themself to some coffee and donuts. And Harry asked something that he was wondering since the day before already.
"Severus, why didn't you have a problem with suddendly being my godfahter, but accepted it right away? Because, to be honest, I kind of expected you to decline everything and close the right in front of my door when you saw me."
"Well, as you already know, I was friends with your mother when we were at Hogwarts until I ruined it, when I called her a mudblood. But what I didn'untill you, was, that we both grow up in the same neighbourhood and already were best friends before we went to school. This also made the whole fight even worse, because of it I didn't loose my best friend of five years, but of almost ten. Therefore, I was happy, she actually forgave me, and at the same time, I was sad, that I lost fifeteen years of your life, that I could have had, and instead treated you so bad. And I'm really sorry for that, but Albus told me before your first year, that you were a spoiled child and needed at least one teacher, who kept you down, so you'd realize, that you weren't any better."
"Dumbledore is so going to pay for everything. Could you perhaps mention this to my lawyer tomorrow as well? And I really want to know, who else is involved in this betrayal. And if Ron and Hermione are in it as well, I want to change to your house for the last two years. Actually, I'd like to change to Slytherin anyway, because then we'd have more possibilies to spend more time together, to make up for those years we lost."
"You can change houses at the beginning of every school year, if the sorting hat actually resorts you into another house. But it won't put you especially in Slytherin just because you feel like it, since it's the 'hated house'. And I'd recomend, that you give yourself and my other godson a second chance to get to know each other."
"Your other godson wouldn't happen to be one Draco Malfoy, would he?"
"Yes, it is him."
"I think, I'd give him and Slytherin a second chance."
"What d you mean, 'giving Slytherin a second chance'?"
"Well, I asume, you know, that Hagrid ws the first person to ever be nice to me? And when he took me to Diagon to get my school stuff, I met this blond boy at Madame Malkin's, who made me feel absolutely stupid for my lack of knowledge and said some bad stuff about Hagrid, when he came tto get me. And then, on the train, he had nothing better to do than to make fun of Ron, who happened to be my first friend, ever. And Hagrid and Ron told me, that all the dark wizards came from Slytherin house. So, when the sorting hat wanted to put me into Slytherin, I begged it, to not put me there. Therefore, I don't think that there wouldn't be a problem for the hat to put me into the house I should have been in since first year, don't you think?"
Severus was gaping at Harry. "You should have been a snake all the time? Griffindors Golden Boy, a snake in the lions den? That's just too good. And I bet, that at least Hagrid had been told, to just tell you the worst things about my house, so you'd be biased as the majority of first years are before the sorting. Because he really couldn't have his saviour being a snake."
"That's possible. And I also don't think, that what he told me about my mother saving me by dying is true as well, because if it were true, shouldn't there be more orphans like myself, since every mother would die to save their child?"
"I guess, we'll get to know that later. If not from Dumbledore, we could always ask the Dark Lord. Because he really isn't as bad as Dumbledore tells everyone. Especially since he has his human body back. But let's talk about it later tonight,since the police men are coming."
Harry nodded to show his agreement and they got up to join the officers.

They stood in front of the house in Surrey and watched, as the policemen knocked on the door. The door got opened by Vernon Dursley, who was confused. "If you came for the boy, you're too late. He disappeared yesterday."
"Would this boy, you're talking about, happen to be one mister Harry Potter?"
"Yes, that'd be him. Why?"
"We aren't here to look for him. He's actually with us. Now, why don't you invite us inside, so we could talk with yourself as well as with your wife and son? Unless you want to bring them to the door and we talk to you here, where the whole neighbourhood could listen in?"
"No, please, come in.", Vernon said and bid them all inside into the living room. Harry and Severus followed the first two officers, while the other two followed they sat in the living room on the couch, Petunia and Dudley came downstairs.
"WHAT IS THE FREAK DOING HERE, AND ON THE COUCH NONETHELESS? AND WHY IS HE HERE?"
"Hello, Petunia. It has been quite some time since we saw each other last. And I must say, I really don't like how you're talking about my godson. And also about how you treated him the past fifeteen years. Actually, that's one of the reasons why we're here, together with those nice police officers."
Petunia gaped and sputtered then "g-g-godson?"
"Well yes. I just found out about it yesterday, when I read my parent's will. And I got to know some other interesting stuff as well. Like, you actually being payed for taking care of me. And the money was enough that you actually could buy me some clothes, give me an actual bedroom and feed me three times a day. But instead, you had me sleep in the cupboard under the stairs until I was elevem, while Dudley had two bedrooms, let me do all the chores in the house as soon as I was old or tall enough and gave me Dudleys old rags for clothes. And I bet, you used MY money, to send your Dudders to Smeltings. And I also found a nice document, that shows, that I own this house. And this is to change right away."
"This is the thanks that we took you in when we found you on our doorstep on this november morning all those years ago?", Vernon thundered. His face was red with anger.
"Mister and Madame Dursley, we order you to gather your clothes and toilet articles and be back down here in about fifeteen minutes, your son's as well, and come with us. Everything else is to be left here, so it can be sold to start repaying your nephew. You'll be brought in front of a judge as well for child neglect,child abuse and theft. Oh, and here's the official paper with the judge's signature."
While the Dursleys gathered their stuff, Harry showed his godfather and the officer the cupboard. Afterwards, they returned to the living room.
"Mister Potter, if it's alright with you, we'd bring a specialist here to estimate the worth of the whole inventure of this house."
"That.s fine by me. I think about renting it out, so if you know someone who rents houses out for someone else, could you please give us his contacts? And watch that my so-called aunt leaves her juwelery here, because she's got quite a collection."
"Yes, I could give you the adress of someone for your house. And we'll check their bags anyway, since they aren't allowed to take anything of worth with them. Now, their time is up, so let's go see what they're doing so long."
When they got to the master bedroom, they saw Petunia puting her juwelery box into her suitcase, and Vernon just sat on the bed and comanded his wife around. They went to Dudleys room, where they saw him trying to put all his sweets into his suitcase, instead of his clothes.
"Your time to pack is up. Please bring your suitcases downstairs, where we'll check them, that you don't take anything else than your clothes with you."
When they weren't down after five minutes, two officers went upstairs to get them. Back in the living room, they opened al three of the suitcases. The first one was almost completely filled with sweets, and the rest of the space was used for some shirts and pants, the second one was filled with button up shirts, ties, and some suits, and the last one contained Petunias jewelery box and some clothes as well. It appeared that noone took the time to get his or her stuff from the bathroom.
After Petunias jewelry box was taken out of the suitcases again, they brought the family outside and had them get into the police cars. Severus and Harry were the last to get into one of the cars, because they wanted to enjoy the muggles to be brought away. And they knew, they'll enjoy it even more to watch them being brought into holding cells.
