Harry had never hated a hat so much as he hated the Sorting Hat in this moment. The hat was screaming for him to come up after the first years to be resorted. He finally stood in the silent yard and walked to the stool. His face and eyes gave nothing away as he sat down on the stool.
"SLYTHERIN!"
The hat hadn't even been moved.
Harry stood again and raised his chin then sqaured his shoulders. He walked to the silent table of serphents and sat down on the very end of the table nearest the Head table. The Great Hall was silent. Food appeared and he slowly began eating making sure that no one touched his food or drink if they did he instantly discarded it. He wasn't stupid and wouldn't be poisoned. When the feast was over he followed the Slytherins down to their Common Room. He then listened to Snape's speech. He refused to show weakness in fact he wasn't showing anything as he went to find his room. It was at the end of the staircase behind a door that looked like it would fall off it's hinges at any moment. He took a breath and entered. It was cold and wet in here. He saw his trunk at the bottom of a mattress on the floor. Of course. He turned to shut the door and found Snape. He turned his back on the man and went over to his trunk to find his pjs.
"Are you listening to me, Potter?" Severus finally snapped. He'd been talking to Potter for ten minutes now and the boy wasn't acting like he was listening he grabbed the boy and gave him a harsh shake. "Listen to me when I'm talking to you, Potter!"
Harry blinked up at him and moved away he wouldn't let Snape know just how much he'd hurt him just now. He hadn't heard Snape taking to him at all. He blinked at the man and stared hard at him but didn't speak he didn't think he could if he wanted. He frowned watching Snape's lips moved. He shook his head and touched his right ear and shook his head again.
"Speak, Potter! Are you trying to tell me that you can't hear?" Severus demanded. Harry nodded. "Potter, stop messing around."
Harry patted his troat and shook his head he put his hand over his mouth and shook his head then covered his ears and shook his head. Finally, he just sat on the mattress dejected and stared at the wall. This was going to be a long year. He jerked away from Snape as he grabbed his chin. He resisted the urge to scramble away. He tried to make out what Snape was saying he watched his lips move.
Lip Reading-1
This strange power had shown up a few days ago. He frowned hard.
Severus sighed and grabbed Potter roughly by the arm and jerked him to his feet. He pulled Potter all the way up to the hospital wing. He demanded Poppy test the boy's ears.
Harry made himself at home on the bed he always stayed in when he was here he figured that he wouldn't be leaving anytime soon. He stared at the wall in front of him.
Severus and Poppy frowned at the results Potter was almost deaf in both ears, though there was no reason that he couldn't talk. Severus grabbed his wand and made writing appear in front of Potter.
Our scan confirms that you can not hear. I apologize for anger earlier.
They watched as Potter looked at them. He shook his head at them then mimicked ear drops.
Yes, there are ear drops that can help heal your problem. Very good. 5 points to Slytherin.
Harry rolled his eyes.
I'll brew it tonight but we must figure out how you're going to handle classes if you can't hear.
Harry pulled a book out of his backpack which he'd grabbed and began trying to read.
You can hardly see without your glasses, Potter, where are they?
Harry shrugged he honestly didn't know. His uncle had taken them when he'd gotten home. He suddenly went into a coughing fit. As he suffered the new Defense Professor Remus Lupin came in with McGonagall supporting him and Dumbledore coming up from behind. They all stared at him. Severus and Poppy held him down as his body began seizing it was clear that the thirteen year old was in massive pain. The attack finally stopped and Harry was left gasping for air and deathly pale.
"Is Harry okay?" Remus asked from the bed next to him.
"There is no need to be so quite, Lupin." Severus stated his tone hard. "Poppy's scans shows that Potter is so close to being deaf that he wouldn't hear a Qudditch game."
"What?" Minerva cried, "How?"
"We don't know but he also refuses or cannot talk." Severus stated. He swished his wand out and wrote in the air again.
You will take a pain reliver potion and spend the night here for observation. I will go brew the ear drops for you.
Harry nodded tiredly he wondered if he could learn to write in the air like Snape did. Then his mind flashed back to Riddle doing the same thing in the Chamber he sighed to himself and swallowed two potions not really caring what they were he was glad when the pain eased. He didn't hear the discussion going on around him and didn't care to.
When he woke in the morning Hermione and Ron were at his bedside he sat up and watched as Hermione began talking right away. He concentrated on trying to read her lips but only got a few words here and there.
Severus entered the room to see Granger and Weasley.
"Miss Granger. Mr. Weasley." he drawled silencing the girl.
"What do you want?" Ron snapped.
They tensed as he pulled out his wand.
Your potion, Potter, three drops in each ear first thing in the morning and before you go to bed at night. Tell me when the potion runs out.
Harry nodded and took the small bottle with the dropper. His hand began shaking.
Hermione took the dropper and bottle she tilted Harry's head and dropped three drops in his left ear then did the same for his right then tucked the bottle in to his bag.
"What is it for, sir?" she asked.
"Potter has lost his hearing and ability to speak, Miss. Granger." Severus informed. "You will make him read this and make sure he learns the spells within."
Hermione quickly took the book.
"You, Mr. Weasley, will help Mr. Potter get ready for class." he handed the Weasley Potter's uniform. "He is to be at the Slytherin table in twenty minutes."
You will take a Nutrition Potion with breakfast, Potter. It will help heal you.
Harry shrugged.
"How is he supposed to do classes if he can't hear?" Ron demanded as Hermione help him set up the screens.
"I happen to agree with you, Mr. Weasley but the Headmaster insists." Severus informed and left the room.
Twentey minutes later Severus was annoyed and getting angry.
"I told them Potter was to be down here in exactly twenty minutes." he growled into his coffee.
"I'm sure they are just a few minutes late, Severus." Minerva sighed. Sure enough the three entered the Hall. "See, there they are."
Harry nodded as Ron and Hermione motioned to Gryffindor he tried to follow only for Hermione to hold her hand up, shake her head and point at Slytherin. He frowned at her but she gave him a stern look. He rolled his eyes and took the book she handed him and went to the Slytherin table. He took the same seat as the day before. He got some food and milk. He downed his potion then began eating. If anyone touched anything he was quick to discard it again and everyone in the hall was noticing it. He looked up to see Draco sitting in front of him. He watched the other boys lips move it wasn't hard to figure out what he was saying.
"That's smart, Potter." Draco told his enemy.
Harry shrugged. When he was done eating he opened the book and began trying work out what it said. It took him ten minutes to figure out it was the writing spell he wanted to learn. He got so wrapped up in trying to read that he jumped when someone touched his shoulder. He looked up to see a worried Hermione. He understood and quickly got up and grabbed for his bag but Ron already had it. Hermione showed him his schedule. He nodded and followed them.
"What's with you guys?" Draco asked, "and what is wrong with Potter? He didn't respond to my jabs."
"Maybe he's just become too mature to do so." Hermione said, off handedly.
They ended up in Potions and Harry was not happy about he frowned at his friends Hermione just handed him his schedule to prove this is where they were supposed to see then seemed to notice that he didn't have his glasses she was about to say something when Snape came sweeping into the room.
Harry watched as Hermione got out his new Wiztop and set him up for a theory lesson. Oh joy. He looked around and noticed that judging by the green/silver, red/gold, blue/white, and yellow/black blurs in the room that all houses were having classes together. He also noticed all sorts of people sitting along the walls what was going on? He had no idea and had no idea how to get the information he wanted.
