Expecting Ginny

To my readers : I'm taking all your views into account. I just thought I'd tell you that I'm a victim of multiple rape and abuse. I've finally found someone I'm in love with and I'm 5 months pregnant with his baby. So I kind of know what Ginny is going through but not the full extent. Thanks for the positive reviews and constructive criticism.

The sky was dark and completely blank of stars when Severus Snape entered the backyard of his childhood home. A strong storm was coming in and the clouds caused the whole yard to be solid black. Severus had no problem finding his way in the dark. His parents hadn't done any landscaping since he left so he knew the ground like the back of his hand.

Severus walked onto the back porch and tried the back door. He wasn't surprised to find it locked. It was the middle of the night after all.

“Alohomora,” he whispered pointing his wand at the lock.

Since it was only a muggle lock it opened without a fight. Severus opened the door and walked inside of room. It led into the kitchen.

“Lumos,” Severus said raising his hand above his head.

The light coming from his wand was enough to fill most of the kitchen with light. He noticed that there were several empty beer bottles on the kitchen table. That didn't surprised him. His father had taken to drinking heavily when Severus turned sixteen or as he father would say 'become an even bigger problem'.

Severus pushed open the door that led to the living room and was surprised to find his father was in there. He was asleep in front of the Television. A hardcore porno was playing on the screen. Severus didn't bother to see what it was. He walked over to the T.V and turned it off. Turning it off caused the room to be covered in darkness. His father jumped awake at the action.

“Severus?” Tobias asked rubbing his eyes.

“Yes,” he said holding his wand out. The light on the end had gone out. “It's Severus.”

“What the hell are you doing here?” his father asked starting rise from his chair.

“Sit back down,” Severus said walking closer to him.

Tobias growled with anger and didn't look like he wanted to sit down. The presence of the wand was enough to make him lose that anger and sit back down.

“What do want boy?” he snarled.

“I want to talk to you,” Severus explained walking in a circle around Tobias. “I was just want to have a little father-son talk.”

“You're no son of mine,” Tobias said trying to gather his bravery. “Get out before I get mad.”
Severus couldn't help but smirk at his father's attempt at scaring him. The same words that had once made him cower in fear as a child made him smirk as an adult. He had to admire his father's spirit.

“You're a rapist, a freak, and a loser,” he said rising from his chair slightly.

“I'm not a freak,” Severus said pushing his wand against Tobias' throat. “As for the rape I'm taking care of that. I'm taking full responsibility for my unborn child.”

Tobias gave a grunt pushing his throat against the wand. It was almost as if he was daring Severus to make a move.

“Yeah right,” the older man grunted. “You're just using that child to keep out of trouble. You think that if you offer to take care of that child you'll stay out of trouble.”

“That's not true,” Severus said jabbing his father in the throat with his wand. The action caused Tobias to fall back into the chair. “For the first time in my life I'm taking responsibility for something I've done.”

“Such a lair,” Tobias whispered more to himself than to Severus.

“Like father like son,” Severus said smirking.

Tobias was out of his chair and pushing Severus to the ground before the younger man had a chance to blink. His wand slipped out of his hand and flew across the room. Tobias pinned him to the floor and snarled.

For the first time in years Severus found himself afraid. The last time his father pinned him to the ground he walked away with two broken bones. Severus brought up his hand and punched Tobias in the face hard. His father fell back just enough for Severus to slip out from under him.

“Lumos!” Severus shouted.

The end of his wand flared bright in the dark. He crawled forward and wrapped his fingers around the wand. Severus could hear Tobias coming up behind him. He kicked his legs out and hit his father's legs. Tobias crumbled to the floor. Severus rolled over onto his back and looked at the older man.

Tobias was crouching a few feet away from his son panting. Severus got to his feet and walked over to the crouching man. His wand was pointed at him and his eyes were full of rage. For the first time in his life Tobias was afraid of his son. He knew what Severus could do to him.

“I could kill you,” Severus said. “It would only take two words to do it but I'm not going to. Killing you would be too kind. I'm going to show you what pain is. Crucio!”

Tobias let out a cry and fell to the floor. He lay there twitching for a few minutes and silent. Severus shouted the unforgivable again and his father yelled again. The wizard didn't back off that time. He held his wand still and kept shouting it over and over. Tobias didn't know how to fight magic off so he got the full blast of it. He just lay on the floor twisting and slamming his fist into the floor.

Severus took pity on the muggle and pulled his wand back. Tobias let out a gasp but that was it. After the pain and aftereffects started to wear off he rolled so that he was looking at Severus. There was pain and regret in his dark eyes.

“I'm so sorry I....” Tobias started but Severus cut him off.

“You aren't sorry,” Severus snapped. “You're just saying that so I won't use that curse on you again. You are never sorry.”

“Hear me out please,” his father tried but his son ignored him.

“I don't have time for this crap,” Severus said putting his wand away. “I have important things to do.”

Tobias was still trying to talk to him but Severus didn't pay any attention to his words. He had come to punish his father and since that was done it was time for go. With a pop he disapparated.

Ok. Originally I was going to have Severus kill his dad but I went against it at last minute. I know because of first hand experience that most abused kids can't kill their abusive parent when given the chance. Deep down they still care even if they don't want to admit it.
