Father and Son
Disclaimer: I am not JK Rowling, nor will I ever be. (Sighs)
Severus (POV)
Finally, after a whole year of looking I have finally found out where that old coot placed my son. Not many people knew that Harry James Potter was actually Harry Severus Snape. Lily actually fooled everybody into thinking that Harry was actually James' son. Well everybody except Albus that is. I sneered at the thought of that old man. HE had done everything in his power to keep me from getting my son. Finally, I was able to track my son down so I could get him. It was very easy to get access to the Dursleys. Vernon Dursley owns a drill company or something, so make an impressive investment here and there then viola. I am invited to attend dinner at their house.
1 hour later.
I calmly walked up to the front door of the Dursley residence. It was a nice house. However, it was also one of those houses that were perfect. Perfectly weeded garden, freshly cut grass and shining car in the middle of the driveway. Sneering at it all, then replacing my expression with one of my, err, pleasanter ones I knocked on the door. It was immediately opened by a child the size of a whale.
"Good evening, . Do come in." The whale said.
"Certainly," I replied. The whale turned on his heel and walked toward the sitting room. I followed, looking at the surrounding. Albus had said they treated my son like their own child, yet I only saw pictures of the 'whale'. I followed the wha… I mean boy to the sitting room where I was greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Dursley.
"Mr. Snape, nice to see you again." Mr. Dursley said. "MAy I introduce you to my wife, Petunia."
"Nice to meet you Mrs. Dursley." I said to Petunia, who was unaware that I was Lily's childhood friend.
"Nice to meet you too, Mr. Snape. Shall we go to the dining room for our meal." Petunia said. I gave a nod of my head and followed the trio, noting that not once had I seen Harry. The dining room was like all the rest of th house, nothing but perfect. I took a seat and started a conversation with Vernon.
"So do tell me, how is your business going?" I said.
"Oh just wonderful, ever since you made your huge investment I have had millions of dollars worth of investments come through. Would you like some dinner now?" Vernon asked me. I nodded my head and he got a little bell like those used for calling house-elf's. He rang it and moments later a young boy appeared who didn't even look one year old!
The boy was covered in filth and was wearing clothes ten sizes to big for him. I couldn't even hardly hear his voice when he spoke.
" Yes, Uncle Vernon?" The young boy said. He lifted his eyes to glance at me for half a second. What I saw shocked me. His eyes were a bright green like Lily's were. No surely this isn't, my son Harry.
" Umm, I don't mean to interrupt, but who is this?" I said. Vernon looked at me and said,
" This is my freak of a nephew here. His mom and dad got themselves killed in a car crash and we got suck with this little freak here." Vernon said. Than as if he was expecting me to laugh he took and slapped the boy upside the head. Harry didn't even flinch as if he was used to it. I stood up so abruptly my chair flew back and I took out my wand. Then Vernon started to sputter. "You You're one of those…..freaks!" I Stared at him coldly.
"Just to let you know Dursley we don't take kindly to being called freaks and Harry here is my son, just for you to know." Harry instantly looked at me. I knelt in front of him at eye-level.
" Are you okay, Harry?" I asked him softly. HE looked up at me and having a closer look at his face I could see bruises allover his face and disappearing underneath his shirt. I stood up slowly and turned to face the Dursleys.
They looked like they were fixing to pee themselves.
"Petunia surly you remember me. Severus Snape, lived right down the road from you," I saw an angry then scared look appear on her face. "You do know what we do to people in the Wizarding World, who abuse wizards and witches right?" Vernon looked at her curiously, then Petunia's face paled when she recalled what Lily had told her one time.
"Not not Az….Azkaban. Surly not there." I smiled the smile even my seventh years were scared of.
"Oh, I assure you, you will pay for what you have done to this child." I turned to Harry. " Go get anything you would like to take with you. Also you wont be returning here, okay." Harry nodded quickly and ran off to get his stuff. I watched him figuring he would go upstairs, but he went to the cupboard under the stairs! I gave the Dursleys a cold stare. Harry came out a few seconds later with a faded blanket that had his initials on it, a picture of Lily, a stuffed bear and a glass figurine of a lily. I noticed he still wouldn't look up at me. I turned to the Dursleys.
"You will not get away with what you have done with my son. I will be back. Come along, Harry, son." I turned on my heel and walked out the door but slow enough for Harry to keep up with me. When we were on the sidewalk I knelt down to get at eye-level with Harry.
"Now I'm going to do something called apparition, so your stuff doesn't fall out of your hands will you let me hold it." Harry looked in my eyes for a moment the handed me his four things which I put in my robes pocket.
"Now hold on to my arm and don't let go, okay?" I felt a little hand grab my arm and I apparition to the gates of Hogwarts.
