Harry Potter But AU?

Harry's POV

It was four PM, and Christmas was mostly over when Harry suddenly had a childish idea at how to get the golden group in trouble. Why get them in trouble?

Well, Hermione and Neville abandoned him, that's enough reason to get them in trouble.

Yes, it is petty, but apparently Harry was a petty man.

Marcus's family killed his parents, he doesn't need a reason to hate him

And he detested Ron just based on the books, but meating him made h Harry hate the boy.

Ron was a brown nose boot licker who acted highly just because he was a Gryffindor.

So, because of those reasons, and because it didn't mess with his foreknowledge he was willing to do it.

Which was why Harry found himself in front of Professor snape's office.

Severus's POV

Severus really hated this year,

Last year was bad enough, having a troll in school, his leg being almost ripped off and being next to the dark lord every meal for an entire year.

But this year is even worse, with two children, a cat and a ghost being petrified and his expensive potion ingredients being stolen, and he didn't know who did it.

While lamenting about all of that, a knock on the door woke him from his thoughts.

"Come in."

"Hey professor, marry Christmas."

When he saw the Slytherin in front of him, Severus has mixed feelings.

On one hand, this student was one of the the best he ever taught potions to, and was the only student whose questions were not only always the right kind but even helpful to him in his brewing,

but on the other hand, the boy gave him so many headaches with his refusal to teach the Potter brat and his mysterious muggle studies (he still couldn't find the school in which he did his middle school muggle tests.)

"Marry Christmas mr. Peverel, what do you need?"

"Well Professor, I walked just a couple of minutes ago at the second floor and saw Marcus Potter and his friends go into the haunted girls restroom, embarrassingly, as I was a little intrigued as to what they were doing there, I waited for them for them to come out only for Crabb, Goyle and Zabini to go instead, as I was hiding they didn't see me and after they went away, I went into the bathroom."

The boy's face became a little red

"I know I shouldn't have done it, but I remembered you telling the class about the theft of ingredients a couple of ago, and in one of the books I read, the ingredients matched to the recipe of the polyjuice potion."

"And where, mr. Peverel, did you find the book? As if I recall correctly, and believe me, I do, this potion is only in the 'Most Potente potions' book which is at the restricted portion of the library."

"I bought it this summer, sir."

Severus was amused and angry.

Amused, as the boy figured out the easiest way to read the books in the restricted section before his second year, when most students have to be told about the fact that most of the restricted books can be bought.

And angry, as by that point of the story he understood where it was going for.

"Potter and his gang stole the ingredients and made polyjuice potion?"

"Yes sir."

"Follow me."

After that, they went to the haunted restroom at the second floor.

As they walked in, Severus's s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e nose, for almost every potion master had one, smelled the polyjuice potion in one of the stalls.

Opening the door, he saw that the polyjuice was made inside the toilet and that the amount left made it seems like four doses were drank.

Remembering mr. Peverel saying only three students came out, he quickly opened the other stalls doors. Finding one that was locked, he knocked and a high pitched voice was heard: "go away!" Knowing who it was, he looked to his side, seeing his little Slytherin smirking.

"Come outside this second, Ms. Granger!"

A shrike was heard instantly, and after a few moments the door was opened.

A quick look was all he needed to see why the girl hasn't gone with her friends.

She had a bushy, cat-like tail and extra cat ears on top of her hair.

As he looked to the side, he saw the smirk on his, from now on, favorite student growing, he had to use his Occlumency shields to stop an equally big smirk from emerging on his face.

"Ms. Granger! Explain this instant what happened! And know this, if you lie even a little bit, I would make sure you are not only kicked out of school, but also put in trial!"

The threat broke her, so she told him every thing as she cried.

How they wanted to prove Draco was behind the petrifications, how they convinced Lockhart to give them the slip to the restricted section, the stealing of ingredients, the making of the polyjuice and the kidnapping of the three Slytherin students.

When she got to the point of her changing to a cat-person, mr. Peverel was laughing and even Severus had a small smirk on his face.

"Idiotic child, it was a heir of the girl's cat!"

As he was about to take her to the hospital wing, her three friends returned from their little adventure, paling when they saw Severus.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here? Another three criminals who stole from their school and kidnapped their schoolmates."

If Severus could see his face, even he would have to admit the smirk on it looked evil.

"As I promised, because you confessed I won't press charges against you, I will just make sure you are expelled!"

As he saw their alarmed faces, his smirk became even bigger.

Even though he knew the headmaster wouldn't expel his chosen one, he decided to have some fun and to get maximum benefits from this, for him and his student.

After all, he had to make sure the kid had a good example for resourcefulness from his head of house
