Recap of chap 10

"Harry, leave in three minutes of you want to catch Professor Salazar alone" Hermione sighed, what they were doing was definatly a death wish.

Harry found himself heading towards Professor Salazar's classroom/ bed chamber (class room in one part of the building the other part is his bed chamber)

Knock knock...

"I was sure the Professor was going to be here." Harry muttered to himself, his green eyes darting around the empty halls, looking for someone.

"Harry Potter! I thought I told you to resort. Why are you still in Gryffindor?" Voldemort's ghastly voice came out of no where, his voice held fury but you can tell that he was trying to supress the anger.

"Well you see there were complications because of Professor Salazar" Harry sheeplishly replied,

"Harry, how about you and I make a deal?" Voldemort's little talk had baffled Harry.

"What kind of deal are you talking about?" Harry questioned,

"If you stay two nights and two days with Slythern I'll help you with your Snape and Salazar problems. It will be easy to take care of Snape since he's a death eater, I'll think of a way with dealing with Salazar. What do you Think Harry?" Voldemort asked the teen Gryfindor,

"To be honest, that deal sounds good. Do the two days and nights start tomorrow? Also, what should I call you and would it be alright to tell my friends?" Harry asked, those where his only conditions.

"Yes you can tell your petty friends, the deal does start tomorrow so if I were you I'd go and get Slythern robes. Since you and I are allies for once you may call me Tom, Remeber Harry, I'm only helping you so that I can get rid of compotition, I don't want you thinking that I've gone soft on you." Voldemort statetd

"Got it, uhh, thanks Vold- Tom." Harry replied with excitment in his voice.

"Take care, Snape will be delt with tonight." Tom said and bid his 'good' night and his voice left Harry.

'Bloody hell! I can't believe what just happened' Harry was replaying the events that just happened between him and his bitter enemy. Harry made his way to Dumbledore's office and was about to knock.

"Come in my boy," Dumbledore's voice came from inside. Harry walked obediantly into Dumbledora's office, "My boy, what's wrong? You'r looking a little pale." Dumbledore commented and paced a little bit.

"Sir, I was wondering if you have a Slythern uniform and an empty dorm in the Slythern house." Harry asked, his voice getting hitched in his throat. When Harry looked at Dumbledore, he knew the man was shocked at his request."

"My boy whats the matter?" Harry could hear a trickle of sadness in the older man's voice.

Harry's mind started to race, what was he going to say now? "To-Voldemort said that if I didn't switch houses that he would do something bad, really bad to my friends. Sir I really don't want that to happen, but I'm only doing it for two days and two night." Harry stated, trying to compel the Professor in giving him the unifrom.

Dumbledore looked at Harry as if trying to figure the youth out. He knew that Harry was in some kind of trouble, but it must have been pretty bad is he; Harry asked to be transfered to Slytheren. "I can give you a uniform but having a dorm in Slytheren will be hard, you'll have to talk to the headhouse, Snape." Dumbledore sighed and walked over to a drawer, which Harry assumed that thats where the uniform was. Bingo! Harry was handed the Slytheren uniform, "Good luck Mr. Potter" Dumbledore whispered as he saw the boy leave.

'Sometimes I'm glad that I have a telapathic connection with the Dark Lord' Harry smiled at himself and headed towards Salazar's office once again. "Malfoy is going to freak" Harry laughed and was about to knock on the door, 'till he felt a hand land on his shoulder.

"What are you doing out here Potter?" Snape! Harry looked åt the man, "I hear that you'll be joining us in Slytheren starting tomorrow. Is that correct?" Snape asked with a scowl on his face,

"Y-yes sir," Harry muttered and just stood there awkwardly, 'Is he going to say something?' Harry winced while he was waiting for Professor Snape to say something more.

"You will be staying with Draco." Snape stated with an evil smile plastered on his face. 'Well at least that parts taken care of' Harry muttered to himself.

"Sir, do you know where Professor Salazar is?" Harry asked hesitantly, hoping the Professor would say no.

"Yes, but you should not disturb him, he has...ah, a headache." Snape spoke lowly, and watch Harry as if waiting for him to leave. Harry stood his ground and finally watched as Professor Snape walked away. Harry had ignored what the Professor said and went inside the classroom and finally walking up the stairs that lead to Salazar's bed chamber. The door was closed so Harry put his head to the door to see if he could hear what was going on inside.

...nothing...

Harry hesitantly rose his hand to knock on the door,
Knock, knock, knock...

"Who is it?" The voice that came from behind the door was not what Harry was expecting, the Professor didn't sound well, his voice was laced up with more hate and regret. This was the first time Harry had heard it, this sad.

"IT's , Professor." Harry stated with a gentle tone.

"What do you want boy? You here to give me crap or you just here to make fun of me because of..." Harry could hear soft sniffing from inside.

"N-no Sir, I just wanted help on the homework you had given, I don't understand it." Harry lied, but something inside him knew that he shouldn't take advantage of the Professor in this kind of state.

"Come in then," Professor Salazar whispered loud enough for Harry to hear. As the door swung open Harry saw the mess that surrounded the Professor's room.

"Sir, are you alright?" Harry knew that he would be getting the truth out when he asked.

"No..." The older man just sat on the ground, his eyes drained of life, his skin as pale as a ghost. This was not the same man that Harry had a grudge against.

"Sir, what happened, if you don't mind me asking?" Harry choked out, how could this happen in just a few minutes? One minute at dinner he was fine and the next he was a total mess.

"I...I'm sorry for what I've done Potter. Please just stop, I can't take this anymore, just stop." The first part of what Salazar said made sense but the second part didn't. Who was the Professor talking to?

"Sir, It's okay that was in the past." Harry stated, he hated seing the Professor in this kind of state, it didn't fit; Salazar Slytheren sitting on the floor, his majestic form gone, replaced with sorrow. Looking at the Professor brought tears to his eyes. "Sir, come on lets get you cleaned up," Harry smiled, Salazar slowly raised his head, deep forest green eyes met the youth's eyes.

The older (much) older man nodded solomnly and let Harry help him up.

"Sir, I'll clean up the mess, you should rest okay?" Harry said and hoped for the best.

"kay, but after you're done cleaning up...can you stay with me?" The Professor mumbled. What the Professor had said baffled Harry, but reliazing he wanted company Harry smiled and nodded 'yes.'

"Harry, what are you doing helping him? I thought you wanted the man to be delt with?" The angry voice of Voldemort came, it chilled Harry right down to the spine.

"What did you do to him? This is not what I mean at all!" Harry yelled inside his head to the dark lord.

"Oh hush up boy, I didn't do this to him!" Tom exclaimed I his defense.

"If it wasn't you then who did it?" Harry asked, he had a hunch but was not going to say anything yet.

"If you're asking me, I would say Severus." Tom spoke out Harry's hunch.

"Don't hurt the Professor okay Tom?" Harry sort of pleaded.

"Fine, but hurry up and finish what you're doing." That was the last thing that Voldemort had said to Harry that evening.

"Potter what work do you you need help with?" Salazar asked, his voice better than before and his appearence looked more like how Harry was used to seeing the man. Then the Professor looked at Harry in a 'what are you doing' way.

'Could it have been the Vertaserum?' Harry thought but shuck his head slightly. 'No, it couldn't.' He replied to his thoughts. "Uhhhh, it was about...um...Sorry Sir, I must have forgotten." Harry quickly said and ducked down picking up some more papers.

"Potter, please fill me in and tell me why you are in my bed chamber and why is my room trashed?" Busted was the only word that came to Harry's mind, but why was the Professor like this? It was as if he had a personalty change.

"You see I had come here to ask...for help, but when I came in the room it was messy and so I offered to-"

"That's enough, but since you're here why don't I give you a lesson to refresh your memory for tomorrows class?" Salazar sighed and started to pick up the mess in his room.

"I really ought to get back to my room Sir." Harry stated and headed for the door, which was quickly shut and locked by Salazar.

"Take a seat over there Potter," The Professor said and conjured up a table, a chair, parchement, quil and ink. There was no way for Harry to get out of this, but as Harry's mind wandered off he was brought to the first time he had the punishment with the Professor. Immeditly his face flushed a dark red colour at the remeberance.

"Are you paying attention?" Salzar almost yelled, his face turned into a distaned look.

"Yes Sir!" He quickly replied,

"Then please enlighten me and repeat what I told you!" Salazar said in triumph and crossed his arms knowing that Harry just lied about paying attention.

"Uhhhh, you said something about the...um...the...defence...errr the...magic and-" Harry looked away guiltaly, "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention, sir." Harry hung his head down so the founder wouldn't see the blush of embaresment on his face.

"Harry look at me," Salazar whispered to the teen. When Harry didn't look up Salazar strided over to the boy and forced his head up, when Salazar's hand had grabbed Harry's jaw, the teenager's heart started racing. It was like...no, this was different, the Professor was angry, his green eyes peirced right through the younger one's eyes. "Number one rule of duiling is never taking your eyes off of your opponenet! Potter you will get killed if you don't look at your enemy. When you look at your oponent you'll get a sense of what he or she will do. Do you understand?" Salazar asked, his voice washing over Harry.

"Yes Sir" Harry responded quitly.

"I'm not sure you do, but please try to. One very important question, how many spells do you know that will help you in battle?" Salazar asked,

"I'm not really sure, but why are you asking?" Harry asked, he was still looking up at the Professor who still held on to his chin. 'Only a few more inches and our lips would connect,' Harry thought, or so he thought that he thought in his head.

"Indead you're right about the few inches, but that won't happen," Salazar said with a smile on his face, his green eyes filled with a sparkle. "Tomorrow the defence against dark arts will be holding a duel for students, all classes can watch. I want you to be on top of your game okay?" Harry knew the Professor was just worried.

"Y-yes sir," Harry stuttered and then remebered what Hermione and Ron had told him to ask. "Sir, why are you back? What purpose do you have here in our time?" Harry braced himself for the answer,

"Why do you ask that kind of question? Do you want to get rid of me that badly?" His voice sounded hurt but Harry wasn't to sure because of the Professor's face didn't show any traces of sadness, just curiosity. The only thing curiose to Harry was why the Professor hadn't answered the question, he should have been under the influnce of the truth serum. His face held shock which made Salazar grin.

"Whats the matter Potter, cat got your tongue?" Salazar laughed, (AN: I KNOW THAT SALAZAR IS STILL HOLDING HARRY'S CHIN, THERE IS A REASON FOR THAT.)

"Nothing's wrong," Harry quitly sighed and tried to look away but his head was held fast in place,

"Remeber, just a few inches a part." Salazar respoke what Harry had said aloud, his face coming closer to Harry's 'This is it!' Harry's head screamed, his cheeks turned red from blushing. "Just kidding Potter, no need to get excited, but I do have some exciting news, the manner lessons will be announced over, the team that won will have 50 points." Salazar announced. "Also you should get rested up for tomorrow." The Professor stated and let go of Harry's chin and unlocked the door, as Harry stood up to leave Salazar grabbed Harry by the arm and pulled him in, giving the boy a quick kiss on the lips which earned him a push from Harry saying 'let me go you creep.' (AN: WHICH WE ALL KNOW IS NOT TRUE IN MY FANFIC!) Salazar chuckled and let Harry go. Harry headed to his dorm.

With Ron and Hermione at the dorm

Hermione and Ron paced back and forth waiting for Harry to return, it had already been about four hours since he had left to go talk with Professor Salazar. The two teens heard someone at the entrance of the portrait,

"It must be Harry," Hermione announced and went to the entrance...and in came Harry Potter. "Oh Harry, how did it go?" Hermione asked, worried.

"Well actually, not at all as I- we had planned. You see there was an interesting developmeny between me and-"

"Bloody hell Harry what happened? You've been gone like for forever!" Ron exclaimed interupting Harry.

"Continue Harry!" Hermione exclaimed.

"You see Voldemort has offered his help...I accepted and I have to stay with Slytheren for two days and two nights." Harry said with a smile on his face.

"What kind of help did He offer?" Ron asked, afraid of the answer.

"He'll be taking care of Salazar and he already took care of Snape." Harry replied, knowing that Hermione would probably ask once again for the information on Salazar.

"Harry what happened with the Professor though?" Hermione pressed, waiting for the information.

"S-sorry I couldn't ask him, he was ha-not there acutally." Harry caught himself, he didn't want to give away the what the Professor had said. Hermione let out a sigh and stood up,

"Harry, you should learn to lie better! But for now we need to get some rest before we drop dead" Hermione yawned and headed towards the girls dormitory. "'Night Ron, 'night Harry." Hermione said and disappeared.

"'Night Hermione." Both Ron and Harry said in unison. When Hermione had disappeared out of site, Ron looked over to Harry who was still starring at the door.

"Come on Harry, we got classes tomorrow-wouldn't want you to be sleeping in D.A.D.A would we?" Ron teased and ran to there dorm and went into the bed.
