Authors note- don't really pay attention to the "Chapter" idek what chapter it is




There's literally no method to my madness

WOULD WE LIKE THIS TO BE THE ENTIRE FIRST YEAR AND I CAN DO BOOK AFTER BOOK?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Snape's POV

After getting the papers, my alarm telling me harry woke up goes off, perfectly on time. I say good bye to Albus and thank him for the tea as I walk out heading to the Infirmary.

"Hello Harry," I say calmly.

"Hello sir," he says, not calmly, "w-what's the papers for,"

He seems on edge over me holding papers, oh god those muggles must've been a bad night if they were out.

"Harry, I would never hurt you, these are papers for my guardian ship," I tell him calmly. All the tension in his shoulders sags out.

"Oh okay," he breathes out.

"Now what I wanted to tell you was I have to go get signatures from those... muggles and I will be gone for a little," I inform him, I don't know how to label them though.

"Oh that's okay they will probably give them willingly sir," he says unbothered by his statement.

I grab his hand and squeeze it, "Goodbye I'll be back soon," I say hoping I'll be back soon. I don't know how to comfort him, hell I can't comfort myself.

"Goodbye sir," he smiles.

Snape's POV

4 Private Drive looks like a train wreck. Without Harry's magic treating the house it looks dingy just like the Dursley's attitude.

I tapped on the front door holding the papers. Tuney answers, this was the first time I'd ever say I was glad to see her.

"Hello Tuney, sign this so we never have to see each other again," I sneered, "I'm taking the boy and you don't have a choice."

"Please don't, I need his help around the house it looks like this now that he's gone," she pleaded, "I won't sign if my house still looks like this after."

"Well Tuney, your house had his magic and him taking care of it, so the house is mourning the loss of a good owner. I can restore it after you sign," I lie, like hell was I going to restore the damn house.

"Okay," she said signing and handing me the papers.

"Goodbye Tuney, I'm not restoring your house, you should live with the horrible things you've done. You're still vain only caring about your image," I sneered and apparating away.

Snape's POV

    I walked into Hogwarts going straight to Albus's office. Hopefully this would all work out but if it didn't I wouldn't be surprised, a lot of things like to not work out for me.

"It's done," I said calmly, trying to not seem like I was internally screaming with doubts.

"Wonderful, read through it and sign what you need to sign," he said happily with his eyes twinkling.

I read through the papers, damn Dursley's didn't do any of this and they got to keep him for 10 years and make his life a living hell and I have to sell my soul and read through all of this to take him away from this.

After 30 minutes of reading and signing papers I handed it to Albus saying, "I'm done."

"Wonderful I'll send it to the ministry," he said.

"Will they accept me?" I said finally voicing a concern.

"Yes, you were his mother's best friend, also you are the one who saved him and took him from this Severus," he reminded me.

"Okay, I'm going to go back to the Infirmary," I informed him, calmer than I was.

I strode to the Infirmary ready to see him and tell him the good news, I would let him know about the encounter with Tuney later when he was better.

"Hello Harry," I said calmly trying to disconnect him from his father, plus the more I looked the less he was like James, his eyes and smile reminded me that Lily was a part of him, and he was just Harry not his parents, hell the boy didn't even know his parents. I wonder if he even knows he's famous.

"Hello sir, do you know why everyone knows my name? Some boys walked in and all knew my name?" He asked curiously.

"Ah well... in our world your a very famous wizard," I stated blandly.

"How? I'm just... Harry," he said. I smiled on the inside, I doubt it came through, he didn't call himself a freak he saw himself as a person. This is a pretty large step in the name of child abuse.

"Well a very dangerous wizard killed your parents after he heard a... stupid prophecy," I said slowly if I held guilt before I held self hate and guilt my stupidity killed Lily, and this sweet boy's family, "I will tell you more later, but this," I said pointing at his scar, "Shows who you are. The prophecy said you would later kill the man that killed your parents, basically," I informed him.

"So I'm famous for nothing but my scar?" He asked.

"No, you hold great power that's why you survived his attack. Do not fret child, there are many people behind you helping," I told him grabbing his hand, this had to be hard. I can't imagine how the weight of the entire world on your shoulders feels after all of this.

"Why does he have a code name?" He asked innocently.

"Some think it's a bad omen to say his name out loud, it provides some people peace, some people believe that saying his name let's him see where you are," I told him, "His name is Voldemort, before you ask." Feeling the mark burn as I said his name.

"Oh that's a strange name, he's a powerful wizard you say, how am I supposed to defeat him?" He asked shocked that he had to do this.

"You will have help. You are also a powerful wizard Harry," I told him.

Suddenly I saw how his lids were dropping, apparently exhausted.

"Now get some sleep, we have time to talk later," I told him while I picked up my new book I had grabbed earlier.

"Okay, thank you sir," he said sleepily.

"Thank you Harry," I said quietly as he drifted to sleep.

KINDA IMPORTANT MESSAGE
Little authors note here
I am trying to emulate an informed Snape that's compassionate but still Snape. I think this will be emulated better in later chapters.

Also I understand Harry is actually kinda s a s s y but I'm trying to show he's a ten year old. Not a snarky teen, of which Harry wasn't really in the books (he had his moments tho LMAO)
