Just Harry
“Come on Ron let us get you something to eat. I have my cloak we can go to the kitchens.” Harry said and pulled his cloak out of his back.
“If you want you can call your little elf friend and he can bring something to eat here. I think there are a few things that need to be discussed.” Snape offered. Ron and Hermione looked at him with wide eyes. Instead of answering Harry just called:
“Dobby!” with a pop the elf appeared next to him.
“You called? What is it Harry Potter needs from Dobby?” the elf looked around the room.
“Master Weasley, miss Granger, Dobby is so happy to see you again!” Dobby said with a wide grin.
“Hello Dobby, how are you today?” Hermione asked with a fond smile.
“Dobby is doing fine. Dobby is happy that he can work at Hogwarts.”
“Could you bring us something to eat Dobby? Maybe some pumpkin juice or tea?” Harry asked. Without answering Dobby disappeared. The four of them sat down.
“And what do we do now Potter?” Snape asked. Three sets of eyes looked at him in disbelieve.
“We Professor?” Harry asked not trusting his ears.
“Yes, WE Potter, I intent on winning this war. If we can´t trust Dumbledore to teach you what you need to know to win, then I will have to do it. I think I will be able to be of great help. I can train you I have some knowledge regarding politics and Dumbledore trusts me. Even if he were to figure out that he lost his control over you, he would never EVER anticipate me helping you.” He finished.
Harry looked at his friends. Ron had a big grin on his face. His mind already forming schemes and Harry had to admit that Snape was the perfect ally. He had the trust from both of his enemies and with Snape on his site would be able to be always 2 steps ahead.
“Guys, what do you think about all this?” Harry asked his friends. “Where do we go from here?” he looked at them. Before they could answer Dobby popped back with a huge amount of food and a selection of drinks. It seemed that the elf brought everyone´s favourites. They ate in silence for a few minutes, Harry barley touching his food, all of them thinking about what must be done. Ron was the first to speak.
“We need a plan. It´s obvious that we can´t follow Dumbledore anymore and we can´t follow Voldemort either. I think we will have to become our own site in this war.”
“I agree!!” Hermione said. “We must plan this carefully. We have two powerful enemies now so we must operate in the dark for a while before we can remove Dumbledore from Hogwarts. I think it would be wise to act as though nothing is changed. If he is still here, we can keep an eye on him, but I do think in time we need to take over Hogwarts.” Harry looked at Snape.
“What do you think professor?” he asked.
“I think we have lots to do. I think the first thing you should do is go back to Gringotts and find out how to claim the school. I don´t know if the students know but the castle can talk to its master to help him keep an eye on everything. It is also able to build shortcuts if you need them.” He paused and thought for a moment.
“I think the thought you had about needing a place where you can train would be good although I think that it would be best that, after the castle is in your hand you stay there for good.” Harry looked at him and just wanted to protest when Snape started talking again.
“Before you freak out, I don´t mean never leave that place and I was also referring to all three of you. I thought about it and believe that maybe it would be good if we rattle him a bit. If you disappear outside off classes Albus will know something is up if he can´t get to you. He is going to talk with me about it and we keep the upper hand if I can get information from him. If Albus is worried he is more likely to make mistakes.” Ron’s eyes twinkled as he talked already plans were built in his mind. He grinned.
“I couldn´t agree more. It would be a good move. Dumbledore knows Mione and I will be with you no matter what. If we disappear with you, he will at least be distracted enough figuring out what´s going on and that will us give time to train up, recruit allies and plan on how to take Voldy and him down as well as having more time finding out what the headmasters plans are.” Ron told them.
“I still can´t believe he killed your mum’s family and abducted her. Why would he do something like that?” Hermione said sadly but Harry could sense her fury directed at the headmaster.
“Where do you think we should stay? We need much room for training. Harry we must go through your Gringotts vaults and look for books that are going to help us and see what else we can find that could be useful. I think we should go tomorrow. The 7th years can go to Hogsmeade every weekend. We can apparate from there.”
“I thought maybe the chamber could be good, but I think it´s too complicated to get their multiple times a day. The room of requirement is out because Dumbledore knows about it and I don´t really have an Idea where else we could stay.” Harry said recking his mind thinking about a solution.
“Maybe…” Ron trailed off.
“What?” Hermione asked.
“Do you remember the trunk Barty Crouch Jr. used while at Hogwarts? The one with the 7 locks you told us about. Every lock let to another compartment. If we can get one of those trunks, we can enlarge them to the size of rooms and live there. We can ward it and hide it in the room of requirements. No one who´s not keyed into the wards will be able to open it. “
“That would be perfect!” Hermione said excited. “We can build a library, a training room, a vault and everything else we could need like a potions lab, bedrooms, bathrooms…” she trailed off having made her point.
Snape looked at the trio. He had to admit he was fascinated by how well these three fit. After listening to them plan things out he decided that Weasley was the strategist, Granger the one who took his ideas and plan them out and Potter was the one who made the plan reality. They knew exactly how the other two were thinking. It was impressive to see how well they worked together. He was ripped from his thoughts when Granger asked him:
“Can you come with us tomorrow professor?”
“Yes, miss Granger, I can´t guarantee that I will be able to stay since the dark lord often calls on the weekends. When I´m summand, I must leave immediately.”
“When should we go?” Ron asked.
“As early as possible.” Harry answered. “I need to do a little shopping when were in Diagon alley. I want to get rid of this hideous muggle close that I got from the Dursleys I want for ones in my life wear something that actually fits.”
“About time you get rid of these.” Ron said.
“Professor do you know at which time we´re allowed to leave the school grounds?” Hermione asked.
“I believe that you can leave as soon as the sun is up.”
“Good. Will you be able to meet us at the gates?”
“That can be arranged.” He answered.
“Alright, then we have a plan for tomorrow.” Harry said with relief. He was happy that his friends didn´t make a big deal about him being the founder´s heir. He had to admit that he was worried about Ron´s reaction and was ecstatic that nothing seemed to have changed.
“Let´s go to bed you two. We have to get up early tomorrow.” Hermione said.
“You two go ahead, I want to speak to the professor for a moment if that would be okay sir?” Harry told them and looked at Snape who nodded his agreement. Ron and Hermione bit them good night and left for the door.
“Wait!” Harry called after them. He took his invisibility cloak and handed it to them. “Take this, just to be sure no one see´s you leave from the dungeons.”
“Where did you get that from? You gave it to Fred just a few hours ago.” Ron asked.
“I told Fred he should leave through the secret passage to the Honey duke. He left it there for me and I got it when I went to the toilet doing transfiguration.” He answered and handed Ron the cloak.
“What about you?” Hermione asked.
“I have the map with me” he answered and at that they got under the cloak and walked out the door.
Snape and Harry looked at each other both quiet. Snape pointed to the couch and they sat down. Harry looked at his shaking hands. Snape looked at him and noticed his distress.
“You did good today. I don´t know how I would be doing when it where to be me finding out that I am the founder´s heir or that a man who I trust is a cold-blooded murderer” he tried to comfort him.
“I was so scared that Ron would freak out. I thought maybe it´s the last straw but I realise now that he´s probably relieved that he isn´t me.”
“I never thought I say this, but you have pretty incredible friends. I saw today what every teacher tried to tell me since the end of your first year. I think you mustn´t worry about your friendship. They will always be there for you.”
“I really hope so. They are my family I don´t know where I would be if it weren´t for them.”
“I must say I was surprised to see how strategic Weasley was thinking. He seems a little slow sometimes.”
“Yes, it´s his forte and your right he can be dens sometimes but in his own way he is brilliant. Not one of the Gryffindor´s was able to beat him at chess in all our time here. He´s just to good and he always comes up with new ways to destroy his opponent.”
“Are you ok?” Snape ask and Harry thought he saw worry in his eyes.
“Not really no, but I will, I am much too stubborn not to be.” He said.
“Yes, it is one of your rather annoying qualities.” Snape teased.
“It´s just so much. I don´t even understand what that all means. I will have to learn a lot. Being head of two houses and the heir of the four. The only thing I know for sure is that things will never be normal again, it never was. I´m just a freak.” He said his last word coming out in a whisper.
“You are not a freak Potter, life just is hard. You were dealt a horrible fate. It´s ok to be scared but you are not alone. You have your friends, the Weasley´s consider you family. Hell! They cut their son out of their life because he wanted to force them to choose him over you, you have Remus and… and… you have me.” Snape told him quietly.
“Do I? Yes, I have Ron and Hermione and you´re right the Weasley´s were always kind to me, but they admire Dumbledore so much. Same with Remus. I can´t be sure they will stand by me. It´s Albus Dumbledore, the whole fucking world worships the ground he walks on.”
“I think you underestimate how much the world loves YOU. I know you can´t remember you were so young when the dark lord fell. The entire wizarding world was one big party for almost a month. Not only in England. The whole world celebrated the boy who freed our world. If they were to find out what Dumbledore did to you and your family, I assure you they were to rally behind you.”
“I´m not so sure. Every time I do something society disapproves of, they rip me into pieces. Slaughter my name in every magazine sold in Britain. I´m tired of it. I just want to be myself. There were so many times I thought I run away. Hide somewhere and never come back…” he trailed of.
“Why didn´t you do it then?”
“I just know I couldn´t live with myself. Fact is, I am the one that must kill that son of a bitch. There is no one else who can do it, so I have to suck it up and be the hero everyone thinks me to be.”
“That´s true, but don´t forget you mustn´t do it all alone. No one could, not even the boy who lived. Rely on the people who are willing to help you and the burden will become lighter.”
“Did you mean it?” Harry asked.
“Did I mean what?”
“That I have you? Were you serious?” Snape looked at him, different emotions running through his eyes as if he fought a war with himself. It was quiet for a while and Harry thought Snape wasn´t going to answer him when the older man opened his mouth.
“Yes” he said, “I meant it. If you would have told me a week ago that I would form an alliance with three Gryffindor´s” He shook his head. “I would have said your mad, but I must admit that I couldn´t have been more wrong about you. When you came to Hogwarts my opinion of you were already made up. I see know how unfair this is. After our first class I found my suspicions confirmed when you didn´t listen to me.” He looked down in regret.
“Three days, it took you three days to prove everything I believed about you to be wrong. I am ashamed that I did not recognize a student in need because my hate for your father made me look the other way.” Silence followed that statement. It was a while till Harry spoke again.
“I did listen to you in our first class.”
“I saw you scribbling on your parchment.” Snape accused.
“Yes, I was writing down everything you said. I asked around at breakfast which class is most difficult. Everyone told me potion´s is most demanding because it is very delicate work, so I wrote everything down because I was afraid, I miss something important.” Harry told him. Snape looked at him incredulously.
“I´m sorry”, he muttered and looked down at his hands. Harry looked at him.
“Don´t be, I mean yes, you were hard on me and often unfair… but… you gave me something no one else did.” Snape looked him in the eyes.
“And what is that?” he asked.
“You never treated me like the boy who lived, and you never changed. You were horrible at times, but you gave me consistence. You treated me normal and didn´t buy in to that hero crab.” He snorted at the hero. “Hero for doing absolutely nothing but somehow not dying.” He shook his head in bitterness.
“Have you told your friends how the Dursley´s treated you?” Snape asked.
“Yes, I have I didn´t want to but I have.”
“Did they ever saw you without your glamour?”
“No, but I guess I will have to show them. Hermione said she is tired of the secrets. I think her words where I am sick of it.” Harry told him he looked down. Snape hesitantly raised his hand and placed it under Harry´s chin, gently forcing him to look at him.
“They will not look at you in pity. Your friends admire you. Not for what everybody says you are but because of what you accomplished since you know them. They will only see your strength and that you mastered every obstacle life throw´s your way.” He looked him deep in the eyes to underline his statement. Harry swallowed. He was surprised to see the conviction in his eyes.
“Thanks” he was able to press out before he stood up and took out the marauders map. He looked at it and after seeing the coast was clear made his way to the door. Before he left, he turned around and looked at him once more.
“I mean it. Thank you, for today and everything.”
“Don´t speak of it, Harry. Go on, I will see you in a few hours.” He said and walked to his bedroom. Harry watched him leave the room and left for Gryffindor tower. Halfway on his way there he gasped as he realised Snape just called him Harry. Just Harry.
