Time Travelling Madness

7- Snivellus Spells

When the five reached Hogwarts, the settled down at the Gryffindor table. Harry was causing people to stare at him. After all, you don't often get two year olds at Hogwarts. James said, as loud as possible, "Stop staring, all right? He's my little brother, and Mother and Father are busy, so I said I'd take him to Hogwarts. Also, he doesn't like people staring at him. Come on, Harry, you can come out now," he said, coaxing to the young boy beside him, who had been hiding in his trouser leg for the past five minutes. Harry cautiously out his face out, making girls coo because of how cute he was.
Harry was shaking, out of nervousness, and because his leg was hurt, and he hadn't told James. James noticed that Harry was nervous, so he picked him up and let him hide his face in his shoulder. Harry gladly did so.

"Hey Evans." said James, ruffling his hair. "What is it Potter?" asked Lily, annoyed. "Whoa, I just noticed that you've got a Head Girl badge on." replied James. "I see you've got a Head Boy one. Wonder how that happened?" said Lily maliciously. "Well, come on Alice, let's get a seat and watch the sorting." Alice Prewett nodded and sat down with Lily, who sat down as far away from the Marauders as was possible.

Everyone began to eat their dinner. Harry only had milk, he wasn't hungry, after all, he had had a busy day. Sirius pretty much piled everything on his plate, James did the same. Remus only had the drumsticks and pumpkin juice, he had had a full moon two days ago and he wasn't up to much. Peter took a little bit of everything on his plate.

Once everyone finished their dinner, Dumbledore stood up to make his usual speech. "To the new first years, welcome! To the old years, welcome back! A very short speech, this will be, so let us get on with it. So first years should know, and a few of the older years should know by now too, that the Forbidden Forest is forbidden. (The Marauders exchanged smirks) As you can tell by the name. Some of you may have noticed that James Potter has brought a little boy. (Harry frowned, he wasn't little!) His name is Harry Potter, and he is James Potter's brother. You're not allowed to hurt him in any way, lest you want face the wrath of James Potter, Professor McGonagall, me, Harry Potter's parents and the Professors at Hogwarts. Now a few words, before you go of to bed. Here they are! Pop. Squeak. Bang. Good night to you all." Harry pretended to look confused about what Dumbledore had said, after all, no one knew how old he really was. The Marauders knew that he has been at Hogwarts, but they didn't know exactly how old he was. And that was the way Harry liked it.

Harry yawned, and was immediately brought to the boys dormitory. He groaned, he wasn't tired, well not very tired. Okay, he was extremely tired, but he wanted to stay up and get to know the Marauders. He shook his head and firmly reminded himself that he had until he defeated Voldemort, so he was going to be here for all of eternity. Harry shook his head again, he needed to think positive thoughts. He could defeat Voldemort, he did it once when he was a baby, why not again? He also got away from Voldemort when Harry tried to save the Philosophers Stone. Same with the Basilisk and with Wormtail. And especially with the Triwizard Tournament. He must have been good at that, otherwise how did he escape? Anyway, Dumbledore had suspicions about where all the Horcruxes were, and now all Harry needed to do was too find them. There's one in Hogwarts, which was one of the reasons Harry wanted to come back. The other, to see James, Sirius and Remus in action!

It all started the next day. Harry wanted to find the room of Requirement, so he snuck out of the common room, luckily remembering the password from yesterday. Harry creeped around the castle, remembering everything from his time at Hogwarts. He just hoped no one found him, otherwise they might try to curse him, whatever Dumbledore said. Well, the Slytherins might try to curse him. Ravenclaws are usually pretty nice, though a few (maybe about four or five?) joined Voldemort. Mainly all of Slytherins joined Voldemort, but all they saw was power, and the ability to hurt Muggleborns and Muggles. Only one Gryffindor had joined up with Voldemort at the moment, but soon it would be two, after Peter Pettigrew joined. No Hufflepuffs had joined yet, for which Harry was glad for. He could count on at least one house. But he didn't always trust them, because of what happened to Pettigrew. He had grown up with friends, family and people who loved him. And he had still decided to join Voldemort for no apparent reason.

While Harry was wandering aimlessly, someone noticed him. They followed him everywhere, for Harry didn't use any of the secret passageways. Suddenly, a voice whispered 'Petrificus Totalus!' and Harry fell to the floor, his arms and legs snapped together. A face came into view, and Harry could only describe it as the younger Snape's face. A feeling of hate rushed through his body as he tried to break through the spell. No luck. "So. Baby Potter. How about....Little Potty? Yeah. Little Potty. Well, Potty, I made up a spell the other day, and I think you might be just the right person to try it on." Snape whispered. 'Sectumsempra!'. Harry felt blood pouring out, and gradually felt weaker and weaker. Snape creeped back to his common room, proud of what he had made, that his spell was awesome. Meanwhile, Harry slowly crept into unconsciousness.

I'm sorry. That's all I can say. I'm so sorry! I have exams coming up soon, and we have to work really hard, and I don't get enough sleep, and it's just really hard for me to do this right now. My exams are happening in three weeks, or two, can't remember. I'm doing loads of revising, and I have loads of homework. I know it's not a good enough reason. I also ran out of ideas for this book, I have been exploding with ideas for the sequel, and I think I need to finish this before I do that. Sorry.
