Chapter 10.


Harry was not happy. No he was bored and when one is bored one is not happy. The boy wonder stared up at the canopy of his bed trying to find something to occupy his mind. But it seemed that no matter what he thought of nothing worked. So Harry wracked his brain trying to find something to think about that would keep him busy. Red eyes came to mind. Tom Harry thought with a smile. He could still remember the very first time he had encountered those eyes.

It had been way back in his first year but the memory of Tom on the back of Quirrils head was still vivid in his mind. To think about it all their encounters were vivid in his mind. Sure the first ones were mostly bad with them trying to kill each other but they did get better as time went on.

The second time he had seen those red eyes that had haughted him was only before his fourth year. In his dream he had seen those eyes even though Tom hadn’t had them. The worst time they had met was after the third task in the tournament when Tom had got his Voldermort body back. Harry shivered at the memory of the cold graveyard. But that was all in the past now.

He and Tom were no longer enemy’s but lovers. Harry didn’t know whether to smile or not when he thought of the fourth time he had seen those eyes. It had been in the holidays before his fifth year at Hogwarts. Ron and Hermione hadn’t been communicating with him and when they did all they did was ask how he was. He had told them that he wasn’t fine, that his family was being mean to him or in other words his uncle and cousin were beating him. He had begged for help and all he got was a reply saying that he needed to stay there for his own protection. Harry remembered all too well the desperation he felt whenever he was alone in the house. Then Harry remembered with a smile something extraordinary had happened.

At first He had thought that it was help from Dumbledor when he heard his uncle telling whoever was at the door that there was no Harry Potter there. Harry had felt the rush of magic but he was too weak from his last beating to pick up the signature. The door to his room had been opened and there was the last person on Earth Harry had expected to see.

Onyx eyes had looked him over before Severus Snape had strode into the room, levitated him out of the house and apperated them. Harry had assumed that when he awake, for he had passed out before apperating, he would be at Hogwarts or the Burrow since his pleas for help must have been answered.

But that hadn’t been the case. When he had awoken he found himself in a large room that was defiantly not the infirmary or part of the Burrow. He had started panicking when Snape had walked in.

“Ah you’re awake.” The older man had said. Harry was so confused at that point.

“Where am I?” He had been able to croak out.

“Why Snape manor of course.” Snape had said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

“Where is Dumbledor?” Harry had questioned expecting the headmaster to be there. Snape had given him a funny look. One that almost asked you actually think he would be here?

“At Hogwarts or the order headquarters I would assume.”

“The order?” Harry had asked not know what that was.

“Yes Potter the order of the Phoenix.” Snape had sighed. “Why must you insist on being so annoying?”

“It’s not my fault I didn’t know about them.” Harry had started to get defensive.

“You mean to tell me that you have no idea as to who the order is or that they even exist.” Harry had just nodded.

That had started the explanation by Snape about the order, their headquarters and anything else that Harry had the mind to ask.
The next day Harry woke with the realisation that Snape had been nice to him and that he had also not said if anyone was going to come see him. Harry would have thought that at least Sirius would want to see him.

“Why hasn’t anyone come to see me?” Harry asked when he next saw Snape.

“That would be because the people you are expecting don’t know that you are here. I assume that they still believe that you are at your relatives.” Snape had explained.

That was when Harry had started to freak out. They didn’t know that he was with Snape. But then why was he there.

“I found some of your letters in the headmaster’s office.” Snape said as he set down some breakfast for the two of them.

“So Dumbledor doesn’t know that I’m here?” Harry was shocked by this.

“I thought we already covered that.” Snape sighed rather exasperated.

“Come now Severus the boy is just curious.” That had been the fourth time Harry had seen the red eyes that had haughted him.
