Thread: Balmy Summer (Keisuke)

Potter had the same filthy mouth and attitude like his father. But that didn't surprise Snape in the least, after all like father like son or so the saying went. He expected absolutely nothing from the boy and wished Potter would simply disappear one day for good. Still, he couldn't do much about that, Dumbledore wanted him to protect Harry and as such he couldn't refuse him. Why was the same thought circling around in his head? Severus growled to himself and crossed his arms as he waited impatiently for Potter to come through the blasted fireplace. What in god's name was taking him so long? Had he not heard the place he'd mentioned before? What a stupid boy, even if he was a celebrity. Any longer and I would have left without you. He remarked and turned on his heel to stride off. It was not the time to punish Potter for making him wait when he had specifically told him not to do so. But they needed to get out of Malfoy Manor before its residents returned or got wind of the intrusion. So punishment would have to wait unfortunately. Snape led the way out of the room and down the hallway to where he knew a back door existed. He'd been here quite a bit so he knew the layout and where to go. Soon they were out of the manor and Snape looked back once to make sure Harry was still with him. The last thing he wanted to do was lose him and have to go back into the place again to find the kid. No words were spoken on the entire way until they eventually got to a secluded area out in the middle of nowhere. Severus's place seemed to be located deep in the woods. Of course that suited him since he liked darkness and solitude. Why wouldn't his house be the sort of place where he could be comfortable? It wasn't as if he was sharing the manor with anyone else. Snape paused at the doorstep and glanced back at Harry. Don't touch anything without my permission. He ordered and then opened the door to stride into his sanctuary. Close the door behind you and follow me. Severus headed for the upper level of the small house and noted that Potter's suitcase was located off to the side in the one empty room. The entire top floor was comprised of two extremely large rooms and one bathroom. One room was Snape's bedroom while the other was reserved for any potential guests. In the past it had been used by Lucius and other guests. Now it was Harry's. This is your room off to the right. My room is off to the left. The bathroom is sandwiched between our rooms. Snape said and then turned around to make his way down to the main level. He expected Potter to continue to follow him until he said otherwise. This is the main level as you can see. Kitchen, living room, magic room, potions room and bathroom can be found here. He made his way over to another door that had a padlock. This door is forbidden. Do not enter unless you want to be hexed or cursed. Actually, please be my guest and do so. I would love to have an excuse to punish you. Severus said coldly with an almost evil smile. Meals are served at seven, noon and six. If you're more than five minutes late, you'll have to find your own food. He paused. Now if you'll excuse me, I have other business to take care of. Don't be late for dinner. He told Harry and then swept himself off to the potions room.
