Chapter 1-Banished
Summer holidays is what children going to school call the summer days when they do not attended. But know it is just summer to a black haired, green eyed, fifteen year old boy.
Harry Potter had just finished his fifth year of school at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which was now his last year since he had been expelled and banished for the wizarding world.
He could remember it as clearly as his godfathers death. He could still hear the sound of his wand snapping in half.
He was arrested and charged when he had killed a unknown Death Eater. Being a minor he was not sentence to Azkaban. He could thank Dumbledore for that. But he had to watch his wand being broken by the new Minister of Magic who happened to be worse then Fudge. Edmund Talmadge was elected after Fudge had 'retired' from office for not believing and trying to prevent Voldiemort return.
Harry was to have no contact with anyone and anything to do with magic. He was not even aloud to send letters to his friends or to receive them. All of his school things where taken, though Harry had hidden his photo album, his fathers cloak and all of his things that his friends had given him over the years. He even managed to keep Hedwig much to his relief.
He was now sitting on his bed in his room at 4 privet Drive. His Aunt, Uncle and Cousin now treated him like a normal person since he is to be considered 'non-magic'. That is the only good thing that has come from all of this.
Harry sighed and made his way down stairs for lunch on his third day as being classed as a squib.
***
Severus Snape closed his eyes and sighed deeply after he took a sip of his brandy. The new Minister of Magic had had him fired. He didn't want anyone with a criminal background teaching the student of Hogwarts. Even if he'd proven himself time and time again, risking his life and pride to help them out numerous times and what does he get in return? He gets fired!
Severus rubbed his forehead in frustration. He know was staying in his family manor house in Lewes. He could not stand staying at the school though Albus was a constant visitor and his house was closely watched by the ministry so he could not go to either the Orders and Death Eaters meetings.
He got up and paced. It had been over a week since that happened and when Albus had told him three days ago about Potter's predicament, he was shocked to say the least. Gryffindor's Golden Boy banished. That just like being made a squib. He may not like the boy but even that punishment was a bit harsh when you kill in self defence.
Though he was quite shocked that the boy had successfully used one of the hardest and most deadly Unforgivable Curse without doing a thing wrong.
Severus thought back to when he found Potter in his pensive. After he had thrown him out and clamed done to think rationally, he could remember the look of disgust Potter had shown towards his father. It was quite surprising discovery though he didn't know if he could teach Potter again, with him knowing what happened to him. The reason he become a Death Eater.
After Potter had returned to school after his godfather's death he had seen a different boy. He did not see a copy cat of James Potter, he saw a boy who had lost the most precious thing in his life and he new he would mould himself around that image.
After seeing the boy like that he realised that had thought of him as James Potter and not the boy he is. A boy that carries a heavy load on his shoulders. Severus had realised soon after that that the reason that Dumbledore pampered him all the time was to give him comfort and to take some of that weight off his shoulders that no fifteen yeah old should bear.
These thoughts had been going though his head all holidays and it had started to alter his perception and was going to treat Potter like all the other students. But then he got fired and Potter got banished.
Severus stopped in the middle of the room. A sudden idea had just come to mind. Severus turned around and stormed out of the room planning to sleep on it.
***
Harry and the Dursley's where just finishing their breakfast a day later when there was a knock on the door.
"Who could be calling at this hour?" Uncle Vernon asked no one in particular as he got up to answer the door.
The rest continued with there breakfast but for an unknown reason his attention was brought to the conversation in the hallway
"Can I help you, sir?" Vernon asked the man at the door.
"Yes." Harry's head shot up at the voice. It sound so familiar, but it couldn't be who he was thinking off. "I was wondering if I could talk to you and your wife about your nephew."
The voices went quieter has Harry stranded to hear what they where saying but it was no use. Harry was drawn into conversation with Dudley with him boasting about his boxing at school. A few moments later Uncle Vernon re- entered the kitchen with someone following behind.
Harry's mouth dropped when he saw his Potions Professor.
Severus Snape smirked at the boy's reaction. "Good morning, Mr Potter."
