Dark Angel

Chapter One: Secrets Reveal

It was like any other summer at the Dursley’s for Harry. Harry was out
in the back yard weeding his Aunt\'s Petunia garden. But what Harry
didn’t know was that he was being watched.

\"Boy!\" called Vernon.

wondering what his uncle wanted Harry went inside the house. \"Yes
Uncle Vernon.\" asked Harry.

\"Are you done with your chores boy?\" said Vernon.

\"Almost Uncle Vernon.\" said Harry.

\"Well you better hurry up. We have guest coming in a couple of hours
boy and I want you in your room before the they arrive.\" Ordered Vernon.

\"Okay.\" said Harry.

Harry was being watched as this was going on. The person who was
watching Harry was none other than Harry\'s real father Severus Snape. He had
decided he had seen enough and went to go see Albus Dumbledor. Severus
was finaly able to check and see how Harry was treated at the
Dursley’s; he had heard the rumors of his sons mistreatment and blatantly
ignored them at first but the nagging feeling in him forced him to take some
sort of action. He had been watching Harry since the break of summer
and it had been a week since then, Seeing the abuse first hand he felt
guilt that he had not listened to the runmors when he first heard them.

While he had been there watching over Harry he had seen his son over
work while his supposed cousin barley lifted a finger. True, Manual
labor wasn\'t enough insentive to take Harry away from the protection of
the wards but he had also seen bruises that appeared on the neck and the
occasional glimpse when Harry lifted his arms and shirt rode up or
rolled his sleeves up. They were faint asi if healed but with Severus keen
eye he noticed them immediatley.

Having enough, he apparted to Hogwarts to talk to Albus about taking
Harry out of the Dursley’s care and put into his care. Severus was
thinking about all the lovely punishments he could enforce on those muggles
while he walked up to the enterence of Hogwarts. It hurt and angered
Severus to see his son being treated in this kind of manner.

arriving at the enterence of the Headmaster\'s office he called out the
candy of the week: Bottle Caps. Severus took the steps two at a time.
He wanted his son out of those bloody muggles \'care\' as soon as
possible.

Back at Surrey, Harry was hurrying to finsh his chores before Uncle
Vernon\'s guests arrived. All he had left to do was start the supper which
he will never taste since all he has gotten this summer was some
measley bread and water.
\'Fucking Hell\' Harry thought as he looked at the clock. he only had 10
minutes to get supper started and to get up to his room, he could never
make it.

\"BOY! what are you still doing down here? I thought I made it clear
that I wanted you in your room before the guests arrived.\" Vernon
shouted.

\"Sorry Uncle Vernon.\" Harry apologized, shaking from fear, recognizing
that look in his uncle\'s eyes; the look Harry knew only showed when he
was in deep trouble and some serious punishment was about to given.
Harry was not looking forward when the guest leave. At least he had some
time to prepare, until then, hopefuly Uncle Vernon would forget but that
seemed highly unlikely.
