*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
With his robes billowing around him Severus Snape made his way to the headmasters’ office, uttering the password (Mars Bars) he stepped onto the revolving staircase; rapping sharply on the door to announce his arrival he boldly walks into the office with an air of rigid anger surrounding him
“Severus my dear boy how wonderful to see you so soon!” Dumbledore exclaimed
“Albus, how could you send the boy to that hellish place year after year?!” Severus nearly roared
“Whatever do you mean? Surely not Harry, Please have a seat Severus.” Albus said calmly
“Yes Potter;” Severus said flopping down huffily “do you have any idea what they do to him? No; I suppose not, when I arrived Mr. Potter had been severely beaten and was being raped.”
“By whom?” Albus said clearly shocked
“His uncle; Merlin Albus, the boys’ uncle did it.” Severus said tiredly
“My gods the poor boy, I had no idea; I believe I owe him an apology” Albus said forlornly
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Voices, he could hear voices and they were entirely too loud; Harry opened his eyes looking blearily around the all too bright room that was the infirmary at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry.
He reached blindly towards the bedside table searching his his glasses when he felt the familiar frames slip behind his ears; he looked up to see his potions professor looking at him curiously,
“Do I have something on my face?” he rasped shocked at how rough his voice sounded
“Are you in any pain Potter? I can fetch Madam Pomfrey if you wish.” Severus said standing up
“No, I’m fine sir, really” Harry said trying to calm the edgy potions master.
Severus sat back down as he heard the curtain drawn back revealing the headmaster and madam Pomfrey.
“Harry; how are you?” the headmaster said walking closer to the bed, halting when Harry merely turned over displaying his back to the headmaster.
“Potter do stop being childish the headmaster merely wants to help you” Severus snapped becoming annoyed.
“If he wanted to help me he would have gotten me sooner and would never have sent me back there” Harry retorted
“Severus, Harry; please do not bicker.” The headmaster said “As to the fact that I have not come to collect you sooner from the Dursleys’; I had no idea you were being treated in such a manner. Had I known I would not have left you there and for that I am sorry” Albus finished in a resigned tone
“Sorry; professor, you’re Sorry? How can you stand there and claim ignorance when year after year I have begged to stay at Hogwarts, the Weasleys’; anywhere but the home of my supposed family?” Harry’s voice had escalated during his tirade as he was now nearly screaming at the remorseful headmaster
“Harry, I...” he began
“Get out” Harry hissed “Just get out of my sight”
Reluctantly the headmaster turned and left the infirmary as the boy-who-lived dissolved into tears latching onto the nearest thing that would provide him a comforting touch, the robes of one Severus Snape.
Severus looked down in shock that anyone would be willing to touch him. He reached out his hand tentatively rubbing small circles on the distressed boys back as he sobbed out all his pain; at which point Harry merely sobbed harder and flung his arms around the stunned professors’ neck. Severus however was panicking; what should he do? Should he hug him? He sneered at the thought; Instead of choosing that course of action he chose simply to roughly shove Harry from his body.
“Really Potter, do contain yourself” he snapped striding from the infirmary fighting the bizarre feeling that he should stay and protect this young man from any future harm.
Harry sat up still sobbing and watched his feared professor tread out of the infirmary struggling against the feeling that part of him was leaving as well.
