Go on, read it. Sixth year but with Sev teaching potions. Pretend Harry is pureblood. Voldemort died in fifth year by Harry. No horcruxes, Harry still has Parseltongue. Hedwig dies.

Harry Potter was an unusual one, he was different from the rest and Salazar Slytherin knew that from the moment he set eyes on him. They had met last week in his first potions lesson of the school year.

(Last week)

The messy haired teen kept many secrets, like how he got his bruises, why he was so malnourished and what the Dursleys' really did to him. They abused him, but he told everyone that they neglected him. What would they think of the defeator the dark Lord once they find out he can't leave a bunch of fat muggles?

Harry was cut from his thoughts when a bushy haired teen nudged him, indicating that there was a new portrait, of a dead person in the classroom.

"Oh Salazar, what is it Hermione?" He asked annoyed that she distracted him.

"Yeah, Salazar mate," Ron said, still looking at the portrait.

"Bloody hell," Harry says staring at the portrait in awe. He was one of his favourite founders after he had explored the chamber of secrets and could relate to him after reading his journals. He hadn't let anyone else in there, saying he was out for a walk whenever he went because it felt like it was calling to him. A bit selfish yes, but what could he do after getting second-hand items and scraps his whole life.

"You will treat Mr Slytherin with respect, if he asks you a question, you will answer it." Snape said looking at the Gryffindors with dislike, then his eyes landed in Harry and he snarled "No objections, even for you Mr Potter."

Harry looked his way and put his head down slightly, covering his scar with his fringe subconsciously. "No sir,"

The professor nodded his head and looked away. How he hated seeing Lily's eyes so sad and cowering. Serverus could see the fiery temper behind it though and was determined to land him a detention. "For the first half hour you may answer any of Salazar's questions. Go on then,"

The class scrambled to look to the side where the portrait stood and were waiting for the first question. "I would like to know your names first,"

Most of the class waited for the first one to speak, which was obviously Draco Malfoy, no he just had to go first.

"I am Draco Malfoy sir," The platinum haired boy said with his head high, "Pureblood and from the Noble House of Malfoy and Black.

Salazar gave a nod to each of the Pureblood family's and a stiffer nod to the muggle-borns and half bloods.

Until it was Harry's turn.

"Er–I'm Harry. Potter, Pureblood and from the House of Potter and Peverell." Salazar gave a small encouraging smile to Harry and asked "Why did Serverus call you out?"

At this Harry could feel hear rising his neck slightly. "He-He just doesn't like me sir,"

Harry was going to stop at that but Seamus decided to intervene, "And cuz he's famous for defeating a dark Lord as a baby and he killed him last year,"

Harry glared ay Seamus, but saw Salazar's face morph into a shocked one for a few seconds before composing himself.

"Ahh, okay, Next question," after many boring questions the last one came up.

"Has anybody found my study?"

Of course Harry knew the answer but he wasn't going to say anything.
