Status Updates From Veritaserum (Harry Potter &...

This was great. Loved every moment. No complaints. 5 stars.

On the day that Remus was set to administer the final exams for his third and sixth year students, he stood on the Hogwarts lawn in the bright June sunshine and felt incredibly proud of himself.

“Why is he still unconscious?”

“Our best guess is that the combination of the muggle medication and the properties of the potion have created a poison in his brain that has caused swelling...”

This is so peak.

“Severus, I believe I have something that belongs to you.”

Severus had been dozing in his preferred chair in his private quarters when Lupin knocked on his door, abruptly jerking him awake.

Harry reached blearily around for Luna as he stretched in his bed before bolting upright as he realized the scratchy fabric beneath him wasn’t his bed.

Harry, Blaise, Draco, and Susan were all studying the after their Thursday afternoon lessons in the library when Harry was approached by another odd person. An older boy, Hufflepuff, with curly golden hair and friendly blue eyes. Harry was pretty sure his name was Diggory, he’d played him his last match, but he didn’t pay attention to names much.

Michael wasn’t sure if Harry was being purposefully obtuse or if he believed Severus had no reason to be concerned over a suicide note.

“Alright gentlemen,” he said with a friendly, if a bit strained, smile. “I would like to see you both back this week. Perhaps for individual sessions?”

The look Harry gave both Severus and Michael clearly showed his intent on making another appearance.

He just needed to wait. He needed Harry to hang on just a little bit longer. He was nearly at the end of his rope on patience for Harry’s sake when Harry finally tipped the scales on Christmas afternoon.

Harry didn’t let his guard down around most people. Snape, Susan, and Luna were really the only exceptions. They were the only ones who proved they’d liked him for more than just his power.

Ron, Neville, and himself were halfway to the library when Harry spotted Ron’s twin brothers whispering in an alcove together.

“Hey I’ll catch up in a minute,” he told them as he made his way over to Fred and George quickly.

“It’s little Master Snake!” One of the twins said.

Is Harry’s petronus a Doe?

Potter rolled his eyes as he edged towards the doorway in the vigilant way Severus has grown used to.

“We’ll see,” he said evasively. “I’ll let you know, yeah?”

Severus shook his head as was his own routine after having lengthy conversations with his ward.

Harry glanced up after Theo had been quiet for a long moment.

“One more question each?” Harry offered.

Theo nodded and looked up at the ceiling.

“The Muggles Dumbledore put you with- did they- I mean... you- you too, right?”

“Severus you have some explaining to do!”

Severus looked up as Remus Lupin stormed in to his office, his amber eyes glowing angrily.

Severus flicked his wand in to his hand beneath his desk.

“What do you mean nobody wants to duel me?” Harry demanded, staring around the silent common room in shock. “Since when?!”

“Since they found out you’re Slytherins Heir,” Blaise drawled with a small wink.

Harry should have know that he would eventually come to regret encouraging that rumor within Slytherin.

Remus liked children, he thought they were refreshing to be around and brought hope to the world. But Harry’s friends were beginning to give him a headache.

“I don’t think he’s in any condition to walk,” he pointed out, as patiently as he could.

This is cute.

“Alright, but I’m not going to answer if I don’t want to,” Harry said, thinking it wouldn’t be fair not to warn her beforehand.

“And neither shall I,” Cissa said. “Go ahead darling.”

Harry’s 100% doing something to bring the dog home with Susan

Severus had been on pins and needles the remainder of the day. He told himself that Amelia would keep Potter safe, but... but Amelia was not aware of Potter’s penchant for chaos, was she? Potter stole Nicholas Flamel’s Stone. He had broken a girls wand for insulting him. He nearly tore apart the Slytherin common room in a fit of rage.
