Severus woke at his usual time of 6:30 am, and had his regular breakfast, consisting of 1 cup of coffee, (black) 2 eggs, (hard but still slightly soft in the center) 2 slices of lightly browned toast, 3 well cooked breakfast sausages, and half of a orange whilst reading the morning edition of the Daily Prophet.
It seemed Cornelius Fudge and Delores Umbridge was at it again; Fudge was planning on passing a new bill through the wizengamot as an amendment to the Werewolf Registry and the Necessary Conversion Act.
If the bill went through, (and there was little hope of it not) all magical beings in Britain deemed magical creatures(not just werewolves as before) under the Necessary Conversion Act would be forced to register with the ministry.
The Necessary Conversion Act had deemed many magical beings that had long held equal rights with wizardkind as “creatures”, and it was commonly known that magical creatures were treated with no more respect than a muggle dog or cat. It all sounded like a pile of governmental doublespeak to Severus.
This would only drive more people to leave Britain, for several other countries around the world were very accepting of many magical species. It would drive up the cost of potions ingredients in the UK he was sure of it. Severus was just glad his ingredients came from reliable international sources. It was good to have the bases covered after all.

After running through a series of exercises he made himself do everyday to keep in shape, Severus briskly walked through the corridors until he reached the ugly gargoyle guarding the Headmaster’s office on the 4rth floor, since the old man had conveniently forgot to send down the coordinates.
“Sherbet Lemon”
Honestly, way did he insist on candy passwords? It made it easy for anyone to come and go as they pleased. Severus was glad the password to his own chambers was not so easy to guess.
“Yes, Severus do come in,” came the reply when he sharply rapped on the oak door.
“I have come for the location of Potter; do you have coordinates, or perhaps a map?” Severus said as he took in Dumbledore’s office.
The place was considerably tidier; the scraps of metal were gone, Fawkes’ stand had been mended; however, the infernal bird was still absent, the rooms surfaces still sparkled lightly green, and while the pages had been picked up, they were still dirty from the floor and lay spread out across the desk, in ruined towers of tattered and tangled parchment.
“I have one better, my boy. I have a portkey that should take you straight there.” He hesitated.
“Well, are you going to give it to me Albus?” Severus drawled.
“I will, but first, I must explain. This is a house elf made portkey. I tried making a portkey into the area earlier but the wards are too strong. You can’t apperate in or out and you can’t portkey in unless by elf portkey. I spoke with Tofty about this matter before you arrived. I’m warning you now about the dangers. We have no idea what is behind those wards. Please be careful.”
“I will, Albus.”Severus replied solemnly, “Now where exactly is it that I am going?”
"Tell me Severus, what to you know of pocket universes?"
“I understand the general idea behind them. Pieces of a particular area are recreated exactly inside a pocket that exists on a different plane but is still connected to, and behaves weather and climate wise just like the land it was produced from. They are a lost art form in today’s world. Only the oldest of pureblood families are said to own them. I know Lucius Malfoy owns a small one, but I have never visited.”
“The place you are going has been copied from Australia, in the province of Queensland. I can’t tell you much just that it is large, and that the portkey should take you within a 100 meter radius of Mr. Potter.”
“Good. That means I won’t have to spend too much time searching for the brat.”
“Be nice Severus. We have no idea what Harry will be like, after all these years being raised by house elves and no human contact. Don’t do anything to spook him.” Dumbledore warned.
“I will try my best sir.”
“Very well my boy, I think it is time you were off, the sooner you leave the sooner you will be finished after all.”
“Yes Headmaster.” Severus replied. He picked up the scarf turned portkey.
“The password is ‘new beginnings’.”Dumbledore said, “Good luck my boy.”
”New beginnings.”Severus sneered. With a sudden jerk, he was gone.

A/N:
A short chapter talking about the political turmoil in Britain, and Severus leaving. Now I need you guys to let me know what pairing in the story you want. I was going to do a Severus/Harry but I think he will work better as a mentor figure.
