Chapter 1

The ever soothing noise that is MSI (Mindless Self Indulgence) thrummed against his eardrums, a soft breeze filtered through the bar encased window and tickled the raven haired boy's skin as he lay on the bed in the corner of the mostly empty room. The only problem was the fact that the bed was more of a ridiculously thin mattress that was placed on a pile of wood and nails that had the nerve to call itself a bed frame. Coupled with the ach of a loose spring digging into his lower back and the fact that he was at his uncles house instead of school, only served to make one Harry Potter a rather grumpy young wizard. There was a soft scrape against the floor that caused the boy to crack open an annoyed jade green eye, that landed on a meager bowl of rice and tuna that rested in front of the cat flap in the bottom half of his door. With a sigh the mass of skin and bones rose from his screaming wooden death trap of a bed and made his way to the bowl with two strides of his long legs. After a short investigating of the meager meal Harry tilted back his head, opened his mouth, and poured the dry food down his throat, needless to say it was far from satisfying.

Over the summer Harry's hair had grown a bit longer and wasn't as wild any more, but still disorderly, the boy had also lost a great deal of weight too, now looking as if he was nothing more than pale skin stretched over a gangely skeleton. Long hands that any pianist would envy stretched above a mop of black hair as he arched his back, making it pop several times in succession. Sighing he moved to lean against the window frame, glancing at the empty bird cage that sat on his desk. Much to Harry's disappointment Hedwig had long since died, but he wasn't completely alone, not too long after the snowy owl died a black cat began to visit the boy. Harry gazed out at the slowly setting sun wishing that he was back at school when he felt something cold, damp, and fluffy press against his hand, upon looking down he saw his new companion.

"Hello Kasumi" he stated, Kasumi is the cat that he found while sitting in the back yard of privet drive one day, she was being chased by a dog that reminded harry of his uncle's sister's evil beast so he decided to save her from then on she has been his only companion gently scratching the black cat behind her ears, Sumi (thats Harry's nickname for her) purred and leaned against Harry's hand.

"Meow" she said, before gently purring at his hand and bounding silently on to the floor. Sumi looked at her surroundings and smirked at Harry as well as a cat could before leaping onto the bed . Harry smiled and sat down beside the dark furred beauty, slowly grooming her self while Harry watched with a thoughtful smile.

"I can't wait till we get out of here Sumi, you will love it at Hogwarts, there is more mice then you can eat." He laughed softly and continued to stroke his Friend. Sumi purred contently and leaned into Harry's hand as he petted her and slowly scratched her ears, in the hall a clock ticked. Harry's eye's grew heavy, he took off his glasses and went to lay on the "deathtrap" in other words his bed, looking at the cat who had found herself on his chest.

"Sumi, why do I suddenly feel so sleepy?" The cat smirked, or at least seemed too as Harry's eyelids fluttered shut and he was pulled into the world of sleep.

FEW HOURS LATER

As Harry's eyes opened they were met with silver moon beams that slanted through the window and bathed both kasumi and himself in light. He sat up and rubbed the last bit of sleep from his eyes before turning to and picking up Sumi who was curled in a ball next to his hip.

"Sumi, how long have we been asleep?" he asked, gently cradling the cat against his bare chest who in turn just looked up at him and purred with false innocents eyes.

"Sumi why are you looking at me like that?" the cat didn't respond to the boy but simply padded out of his arms, landing gracefully on the floor where she continued to stare at the boy, her tail swishing against the floor in time with the clock that ticked n the hall way. Harry arched an eyebrow and looked down at the strange creature with a puzzled expression on his elfin featured face.

"What are you doing you silly cat?" he questioned after a few minuets of suffering from the cat's intense gaze, the clock in the hall chimed in the arrival of mid night and Harry felt something stirring in his stomach. The stirring in his stomach was quickly replaced by a tingling numb feeling that spread throughout his body, it felt as if his entire being had fallen asleep.

"S.. sum.. sumi, wha.. whats hap..happeni.." violent tremors of pain rushed through his body, making him lerch forward to curl upon himself and fall from the bed with a loud thump. Another tremor racked the boy's slender frame, making it impossible for him not to bite into his hand to stifle an ear-piercing screech that threatened to escape him. Blood dripped onto the floor from his wounded fingers as he continued to abuse it with his teeth so as to stifle the screams that welled within him now, coming out in loud whimpers. Another wave of pain washed over him, it felt as if something had grabbed his spine and was pulling it, trying to rip it from his body. He felt not only his spine being manipulated but also the rest of they bones in his body, they were being pushed and pulled from all sides making him feel as if he were being crushed. A yelp escaped his blood coated lips as four, now, needle sharp teeth sank into the already bleeding hand, by now Harry had become accustomed to the pain that was coursing through his body and he barely felt the tugging of his ears and scalp.

The pain started to ebb away leaving nothing but a dull ach behind, Harry lay there now with his eyes closed, panting and covered in sweat, something soft pressed against his cheek, Sumi. The cat gently but firmly pushed her head against his, he opened his eyes a bit and looked into the glowing yellow orbs that were Sumi's eyes. Sumi blinked and licked Harry's nose with her small rough tongue, as if saying that it would be alright, just as his vision began to fade, Harry saw something or really someone appear out of the corner of his eye. Sumi stopped licking him and looked up at the new person with a defiant gleam in her eyes. Her tail began to sway apprehensively as the cloaked figure bent down near Harry, who's vision was almost consumed by darkness now. The last memory he had was the feeling of being lifted from the ground and held against a strong but cold chest and the weight of something landing on his stomach before he was over by exhaustion.

LATER STILL

Snape wondered how he got into situations like this, as he stormed down the corridor, his robes billowing behind him making him look like and over sized bat. Another thought that passed through his head as he descended into the bowels of Hogwarts, was why he had agreed to take care of the Potter brat after he came into his inheritance. A soft purring noise came from the bundle of his arms and he remembered why he had givin in so easily, he had a soft spot for cats. The purring noise came again, making Snape look down this time, Harry was pawing at his face and scrunching up his nose as he slept. Cuuuuuute... Wait... Gah!!! Snape sighed and closed his eyes for a brief second, while he shifted Harry to his hip so he could open the door to his chambers. As soon as Snape opened the door, Kasumi lept off of Harry soundlessly onto the floor. Snape looked at the stow away with a bit of surprise.

"I didn't think you would follow the boy." He said calmly as he walked into the guest room and laid the sleeping boy on the large bed in the middle of the room. Kasumi jumped onto the bed and settled by Harry before glaring up at Snape.

"Of course I came with him you dingy old bat!" Kasumi said in a flustered voice as she glanced back at Harry with concern in her eyes. Snape watched the cat as she worried over the boy.

"He'll be fine you know." he said in a calm, almost bored tone. The cat didn't care though, she still worried over the sleeping oblivious boy, she jumped on the bed and purred while grooming him.

"I know he'll be fine but I still worry" Kasumi said when she paused her grooming too look up at the potions teacher. A meow came for the still figure on the bed as he curled around himself. A soft barely visible smile graced Snape's face, the boy might be the Gryffindor golden boy, but that didn't stop him form being adorable, Adorable was his god sons weakness Snape sighed, this is going to be a long three weeks, he thought to himself.
