42. The first day of school 1

Arrived at her apartment, Severus showed his husband first the note Winky had given him.
"The little girl is just great. The fact that students could be after me, I did not think anymore. I was just worried that it would go back the way it was last year and that I can listen to stupid sayings. "
"I have the unpleasant premonition that this is exactly what will happen. But at least they can not cheer you on a portkey or something like thatOne thing you can believe, though, is that these parasites who run around here with their faces drawn will remember their last year of schooling. "
Harry abstained from any comment, he knew it would not help.
besides, if he was honest with himself, these students did not deserve anything else. They knew their teacher and then they made such requests? Just stupid.
"Okay, I'll just go to my snakes and greet the new ones. I hope it will not be long. "
"You go to the common room on the first evening? Respect, Professor McGonnagal always did that on the second day. "
"Me too, but since the dunk ...Once riddle has risen, we decided at the teachers' conference that it is important for the students to know that they can turn to an adult if they have a problem. Especially so that the older students do not scare them or propagate their poisoned views. "
Harry only looked at him wide-eyed, so Severus was forced to explain:
"Let's just say we learned from what happened then. For some reason, the first evening was always there to introduce the younger ones to the 'habits' of their home. What that means in times of war, I certainly do not have to explain to you.
That's why Minerva came up with the idea that the tutors nip it all in by showing that we're there to take care of our students' problems. "
Severus was more than pleased with his indignation at the words. Probably the good had the fear that he had to deal in the future with such great things as relationship problems or beauty care.
Harry could not help but laugh.
"Good, I'll be back as soon as possible."
"Sev?"
"Yes?"
"May I take a bath?"
"What? Why do you ask? Of course you can swim. It's your apartment now, remember? "
"No not that. It's just ... Last year at the tournament I bathed properly for the first time. I used to go to Duddley in the bathtub when I was little. Well and there the water was always cold and mostly dirty. And later I was only allowed to take a shower. "
That Harry had always dealt with cold water, Harry hid.
severus looked at his husband, startled. Then he took him in two quick steps and took him in his arms. Why the hell did that news shock him? He could have guessed that the Dursleys did not spend a dime on their nephew too much.
"This is over, here you can bathe as much as you want."
Gently the potions master kissed his little one and scratched him again just behind the ears. Then he broke away and made his way to his snakes.

Harry grabbed his pajamas and stormed into the bathroom. He had been in love already at first sight of this room. It was bright and friendly. On one side was the shower, which the boy did not pay attention to.
his whole attention was directed to the large bathtub sunk into the floor. She had steps on one side to make it easier to get in. There were also many different faucets with different functions.
after looking at them for a moment, he decided on a relaxing herbal bath and turned on the cocks.
Behind him he heard soft twittering.
"Well, you three, would you like to bathe with them?"
Fawkes and Hedwig nodded eagerly, while the rodent used the tail of his master as a gymnast.
After the water was let in, Harry got into the water with his three companions. He had conjured a kind of island from one of the bath sponges, and now he put the animals on them.
hedgehog was thrilled with the rising bubbles. He sat on his hind legs and tried again and again to claw some of these funny flying things. When he had one, he climbed on it. since it was magical bath foam, the bubbles do not burst at the first touch.
Harry watched the flying rodent, the little one did not show the slightest fear as his means of transport rose higher and higher.
At some point, however, Hedwig fluttered to the bubble and 'picked' the little guy off again.

That way, Harry did not notice the passing of time. Until it knocked.
"Harry, I do not want to disturb you, but you've been sitting in the tub for almost an hour."
"What? Really? I'm sorry, I'm out right now. "
There was only a soft laugh outside the door.Harry, on the other hand, had climbed out of the tub at record speed, drained the water, cleaned the tub with a quick spell, and after drying himself, dressed, and brushed his teeth, he came out of the bath, packed with his animals.
"Sorry, I did not realize how long I've been in there."
Severus looked up from his book.
"You do not have to apologize, I just did not want you to end up looking as shriveled as the new defense teacher."
"Brrrr, just do not remember that. there will certainly be enough trouble with that. "
"That's to be feared. Tell me, were the three monsters in the tub with you? "
"Um, not good?"
"No everything is fine. It only surprises me that a firebird voluntarily goes near water. "
Harry scratched Fawkes, who was sitting on his left shoulder. Then he brought the three into the living room to their perches, he put the rodent in its nest.
"Good night, my darlings."
After a three-voice answer, the boy went back to the bedroom and grabbed a book lying on his bedside table.
