"Harry, you better start explaining or I'll show you what those self defense classes taught me!"

"I, uh, um, well you see.... I didn't mean to? I wanted to take your advice, but it seemed kinda silly to record myself talking for no reason. Sorry?"

"Harry! We could get into so much trouble if people start to actually think that you're serious! And what did you mean by having a godfath- Oh. My. God. Harry, tell me that you aren't harboring Sirius Black in your house!"

"I am not keeping Black in my house! I'm keeping Snuffles the dog, who just so happens to be the animagus form of Sirius Black."

Hermione placed her head in her hands as she sunk onto the couch, they couldn't tell if the girl was crying or laughing with how her shoulders shook violently. Harry, in their usual fashion, patted her head and left to make lunch. It was as they prepared the soup dumplings that they realized they hadn't seen Snape since they had returned from the shop. After they finished prepping the food, they set out to find the dour man. They found him in their room.

"I couldn't see the room last time. I refuse to leave a child in these conditions! After this summer, if I have my way you won't be returning."

"Do you honestly think you have any power over this?" Harry's bitter tone and angry glare startled Snape. "Dumbledore stuck me here for a reason, I doubt he'll allow me to leave until he decides it's necessary. It's hard to believe the man doesn't know what was happening! Just save your energy. I can take care of myself, I've been doing it for thirteen years, a few more won't kill me."

"Your relatives might! They may have only hit you before, but after you drove them out they could easily decide to get rid of you permanently! Do you want to die, Mr. Potter?"

"Maybe I do! After all the shit I've been through, maybe I want to rest! The rest of the world can fuck off, they've done nothing for me! I've told people before, you know what that got me? Broken bones! I had to walk around with a cracked rib and three broken ones for months! No one has ever cared before, so why should I? I am going to live my life how I want to. Everyone else can go to hell."

Harry went back downstairs, breathing heavily and wiping their eyes to stop the tears. They ignored the concerned look from Hermione as they returned to the kitchen to steam the dumplings and make rice. They clattered around the kitchen anxiously as they made lunch. It took some time for them to throw on some loud metal music to fill the angry void the silence left. The music helped to get all the bad emotions out as they half screamed the lyrics out.

They set the table once the food was done, digging through the junk drawer for unopened chopsticks was well worth it! Snape and Hermione stepped into the room and sat down at the table while snuffles pranced to his food bowl where the leftover chicken had been put. Harry changed the playlist to a more upbeat and happy one as they sat to eat.

The other two didn't seem to know how to eat the dumplings, which satisfied the petty side they hid well, as Harry grabbed his chopsticks and spoon. Holding the dumpling on the spoon, they tore a hole in the side to allow the soup to spill into the waiting spoon. They thoroughly enjoyed the taste of the new food, one they would definitely be making for themselves again.

"So Mr. Potter, care to explain why you are hiding Sirius Black?" Harry merely began choking on their soup dumpling.
