Headmaster office)

"Headmaster tell me you are bluffing..." Spoken A cold steel voice that belonged to Severus Snape narrowing his eyes at Dumbledore who had filled him in on what happened with Harry.

"It's not Bluff, Severus... Harry is now officially a magical creature... he possesses both traits of Basilisk and Phoenix, Madam Pomfrey has showed me his results and did his blood test. He's half human with a mixture of both of the most powerful creatures in our world." Said Dumbledore looking at the potions teacher who only sneered masking his fear that the boy he loathed is not only a Phoenix but a Basilisk at that too, and at the bottom of his cold dark heart he couldn't help but feel afraid.

"Is there anyway to cure Mister Potter?" The Greasy haired potions master asked only to see Dumbledore shake his head.

"No, the Basilisk within Harry's mind stated that Harry's condition can't be cured or reversed he is going to be like he is for the rest of his life and his transformation is still in process" Said Dumbledore keeping his eyes on Snape who had a bewildered expression.

"So... what must be done now?" Snape asked in a calm voice

"I'm under the agreement of the Basilisk's terms Harry is now Lord Slytherin meaning Harry owns the Slytherin Vault" Dumbledore explained as Snape had a horrified expression then his expression turned to rage.

"Blasphemy! I will not accept that brat as my lordship!" Snape yelled in protest as Dumbledore frowned.

"You will, you have no other choice but too, either you do that or the Basilisk will not only possess Harry but will kill you with his golden eyes. She's told me how you treat Harry and I'm less than pleased about, Serverus when will you let go of your hatred for James Potter..? Lily Would have been ashamed of you for abusing and belittling her son" Spoken Dumbledore as Snape Narrowed His eyes at the mention of James Potter but then softened and looked saddened when Lily's name was bought up.

He's been silently grieving over Lily's death when Voldemort was coming to kill Harry when he was a baby. The moment when Harry first came to Hogwarts just by looking at the boy he could see a resemblance of James Potter which sparked his loathing hate for the man who took lily from him but the boy did have Lily's green emerald eyes he loved.

Dumbledore saw this and knew that when he mentioned Lily's name it gotten through Serverus.

"Serverus... you must follow the terms of what the Basilisk wants, Harry is now Chosen as Salazar Slytherin's Heir And is the new lordship of the slytherin house you must accept it and you must also keep the students of slytherin in check should they wish to provoke Harry in anyway especially Young Malfoy it could trigger his instincts and may want to attack him" Dumbledore said at the last part with warning as Snape closed his eyes in thought sighing it seemed he has no choice, not in a position to disagree he agreed.

"Very well... I'll follow the terms" He spoke in his monotonous voice opening his eyes at Dumbledore.

"I'm glad you agreed Serverus, I have a important task for you" Dumbledore Spoken in a serious tone as Snape waited

"Keep an eye on Karkaroff I suspect he may have put Harry's name in the goblet of fire and that he is still a death eater, I sense a plot of why Harry is put in the tournament but we won't know until we know who is the culprit who put Harry's life in danger" Said the wise Headmaster with Snape nodding

"And what about Alastor Moody? Didn't you ask him to keep a eye on Mr. Potter?" Snape Spoken looking at his Headmaster who sighed

"Now that you mentioned it, it's not a good idea to place Moody with Harry, if Moody knows about Harry's condition and transformation I fear that he'll report it to fudge which I cannot allow. Serverus you will be watching over Harry" Dumbledore Said with Snape looking ready to protest but Dumbledore cut him off.
