A New Place to Stay Chapter 50 - Harry Potter

Send us Fan MailHarry wakes from yet another nightmare of Voldemort killing Severus, shaken but grateful that his Occlumency shields keep the visions from being real. Too restless to sleep, he grabs an early shower, talks with Neville about the Ministry arresting innocent people like Stan Shunpike, and admits he would rather spend Sunday morning in the Room of Requirement than anywhere near Dumbledore. Training brings real progress as Harry coaches Neville through nonverbal spells, shield charms, and confidence, all while hiding the truth about the basilisk tattoo that is really his familiar Zar. Over breakfast under the watchful eyes of the staff, Harry reflects that the Headmaster gave him misery while Severus accidentally gave him what he wanted most: a family. Down in the castle, Severus tracks Draco to the library and discovers his godson researching the Dark Lord and Tom Riddle, proof that Harry’s revelation about Voldemort being a half blood has landed. Draco is fraying under the weight of the Mark and impossible orders, and Severus can only promise that if Draco comes to him, he will do anything in his power to help. Nightmares, lessons, and shifting loyalties collide in a chapter that sits right at the heart of A New Place To Stay.Support the show
