Chapter 2

“WHAT?!?!”

Sirius and Harry both abruptly stood up and just gawked at Dumbledore as if he had grown a second head. They couldn’t believe what Dumbledore had just said. They slumped back down on the chair while Dumbledore just smiled at them, completely oblivious to why they were upset.

“I don’t understand. Why Snape?” Harry asked after he regained his composure.

“Excuse me, but I’m not exactly thrilled about this either. If I had been given a choice, I wouldn’t be taking you back to your muggle relatives.” Snape said with a hint of disgust in his voice. He had been surprisingly quiet through out the whole meeting.

“Professor Snape, Harry, please calm down. Harry, I know that you would prefer for Sirius to take you back. However at the very least he is still on the run and I just simply cannot let him take you back with Death Eaters on his tail. I trust Severus with my life and I assure you that he is quite capable of getting you back home safely. I would have asked one of the Order members to escort you but right now they are too busy cleaning up the mess that our dear ex-minister, Fudge has caused.”

Harry let out a loud sigh, “Fine, can I go now? I need to get ready to leave.” And with that Harry stood up without waiting for anyone to answer him.

Harry stopped when he reached the door and turned around slowly to face Sirius.

“Come get me the second your name is cleared.” He then turned back around sharply and walked out of the room.

XxXxXx

Hermione and Ron were waiting for Harry in the Gryffindor common room when Harry climbed through the portrait hole. Harry headed straight for the stairs to his dormitory, completely ignoring the both of them. Ron and Hermione exchanged glances and got up to follow Harry.

Ron pushed the door to their room open slowly. Once he had opened it enough to be able to see inside, they both saw Harry kicking his trunk as hard as he could. Books and clothes were strewn all over his bed. He was so busy getting his frustrations out on the trunk that he hadn’t noticed that Ron and Hermione had come in until Hermione closed the door behind her with a bang, making him jump a little. They stared at each other for a moment before Harry growled softly and returned his attention to packing his belongings.

“Harry?” Hermione asked, slightly worried about her best friend’s unusual behavior.

“I’m going back to the Dursley’s after dinner.” Harry said without looking up from his trunk, his voice laced with anger.

“Why are you going back? I thought that with Voldemort gone, you wouldn’t need to go back there?” Ron said, watching his friend kick his trunk closed.

Ron and Hermione sat down on Ron’s bed while Harry sat down on his own. With a sigh he began to fill them in on what had happened in Dumbledore‘s office only a few minutes ago.

The golden trio talked about nothing in particular until it was time for dinner. When they reached the Great Hall, Harry saw Neville and Ginny sitting at the head table. Ginny waved the three of them over.

“Why are you two here?” Harry asked.

“We visited you in the hospital wing several times while you were still unconscious. We rushed over the minute that we heard that you were awake.” Ginny answered enthusiastically.

The five of them ate their dinner peacefully while talking about nothing in particular. Before dinner was over, Harry leaned forward to say his goodbyes to Neville and Ginny. Harry then proceeded to stand up and walk out of the Great Hall with Ron and Hermione following close behind.

The Golden Trio headed back to their dormitory to collect Harry’s trunk, purposely taking the long route to be able to spend a little bit more time together. When they finally retrieved Harry’s things and walked back down to the Great Hall they realized that Snape had not yet arrived. They waited for a while before Snape swept into the room from the door behind the staff table. Harry gave Hermione and Ron a quick hug while Snape started walking towards the front door.

“Are you done yet? I don’t have all day.” Snape said, scowling at the trio.

“Bye, guys. Don’t forget to write.” Harry said sadly as he waved goodbye to them while following Snape out.

“Bye, Harry. Remember to write to us as well!” Ron and Hermione said in unison while watching Harry and Snape disappear around a corner.

Harry and Snape walked together in silence until they reached the edge of the wards and the professor suddenly stopped.

“I’ll have to hold you close so that neither of us are split.” Snape said monotonously while turning to face Harry. Harry nodded and Snape placed his arm around Harry awkwardly before apparating both of them to Privet Drive.

They appeared at the end of Privet Drive and walked until they reached 4 Privet Drive. Snape walked up to the front door and pressed the doorbell while Harry stood behind him in the driveway. Harry wondered how his aunt and uncle would react when he showed up two months earlier then usual. He stayed where he was figuring that it would be best to let Snape greet his aunt and uncle before him.

Ding Dong

The door opened and Aunt Petunia was smiling brightly at her guest. Her smile immediately turned into frown when she saw Snape (A/N: She had never met Snape before if we remember correctly but was upset due to the fact Snape was wearing a robe) and her nephew standing behind him.

“What do you want?” She sneered at Snape.

‘What is the matter with this giraffe woman?’ Snape thought to himself, “I was ordered to bring your nephew back.” Snape sneered right back at her.

“Why? It’s too early for him to come back.” She said, glaring at Harry. Half of her felt pleased because she thought her nephew was possibly suspended or better, expelled. The other half of her was unhappy because that would mean she was stuck with him for a longer period of time.

“I only got the order to bring him back. Goodnight.” Snape said before backing away to let Harry through.

“Put your things in your room, and then get back downstairs to the wash the dishes. We’ve already eaten dinner so don’t expect me to feed you.” Petunia instructed while glaring at Harry in disgust.

“Yes, Aunt Petunia.” Harry said impassively, heaving his trunk into the house.

Once the door closed, Snape walked back down the street to the end of apparition ward and apparated back to Hogswarts. Deep down he felt something was slightly off with the Golden Boy’s relative.
