A revival of the Slytherin instincts

Severus's Lecture

Harry listens carefully as his head of house speaks. "Alright, I have called in a favor with an old friend of mine. He has agreed to set up a court date. You may have to testify if it goes to trial, however I find it highly unlikely that it will come to that. Now, as I am aware that the Dursleys have not treated you right I have managed to get permission to take you to Hogsmeade this weekend in order to get proper clothing. Is that satisfactory?" Harry smiles, and answers calmly, "Yes sir, thank you sir." Severus smirks slightly and walks o we to Harry. He raises his hand and Harry flinches before Severus places his hand on Harry's head. "As I have said before, I do not intend to hurt you." Harry blushes and ducks his head nodding. Severus sighs before sending him off to dinner. Harry walks into the Great Hall and sits down at the Slytherin table. He once more attempts to put some food on his plate, only for it to once again disappear. Harry merely sighs before listening to the current talks going on. Once again a prefect attempted to help him keep his plate from disappearing, Harry thanked her before again trying to eat something. Once again however he was thwarted in his attempts and Harry finally sighed and gave up. He motioned the Bloody Baron over who chuckled at his put upon expression. Harry explained the situation and the Baron motioned for him to follow him. Harry did so with a nod to his head of house. Harry was led past the Gryffindor table and Ronald tripped him. Harry stood and dusted of his robes before continuing to follow the Baron.
