4 year old Severus Snape could not take his parents arguing anymore. He would hide in his room under his bed with Mr. Rabbit. He found the stuffed bunny in the dumpster. His family was poor but his father could not stand when he would do unnatural things or play with anything that would be considered fruity. He hit him sometimes but his mother would try to jump in between. His mother is a witch from an old family. But they did not like her marrying a muggle and they never come to visit. It makes him sad that is mother never uses her wand to wish his father away. Every year Severus makes a wish to the goddess for a better daddy that will love him and his mum. The yelling was getting closer so Severus hid deeper in the closet.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…."shrieked his mother.
"Boy needs to learn to stop the freakish ways! IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT TURNING MY BOY INTO A FREAK LIKE YOU," said Tobias.
Severus could hear his father's construction boots open the door to his room. He tried to remain silent as his mother begged the man to stop this madness. He lifted up the bed and spotted Severus. Severus tried to make himself as small as possible. The man lifted him up by his neck, and his breathe smelled of cheap gin. His mum was reaching out to him but bloody and injured on the floor.
"LOOK AT ME BOY! SHE MADE YOU INTO A FREAK BUT YOUR MINE. YOU'RE MY SON AND NO SON OF MINE WILL BE A FREAK. IT'S UNNATURAL WHAT SHE HAS DONE! NOW YOU GOT A POOF TOY TOO. I WON'T STAND FOR IT. I CAN BEAT THE NORMAL INTO YA. IT IS TOO LATE FOR HER BUT NOT YOU," he yelled.
Severus was scared. He tried not to cry because crying made it worse. But as the man wobbling holding him by the neck took off his leather belt …it shook his spirit.
The tears came of their own accord.
She mum slowly trying to crawl to him was not working. Tobias raised the belt and the first lash on his back came down. It burned Severus and he could not help the wail.
"PLEASE DADDY NOOOOO...I'LL BE GOOD," cried Severus.
Tears poured down his face as the lashes rained down. He prayed that someone would save him.
Alphard apparated to Spinner's End. The house had wards but nothing that would deny him entry. Then he heard cries and all the lashing sound of a belt. Rage filled Alphard as he flashed back to Harry Potter memory:
"COME HERE BOY" said Vernon.
Spit was flying from mouth. His beady eyes squinted in disgust of the figure in front of him.
Harry was no more than three or four years old. In an oversized t-shirt, dirty, and shaggy hair. The whale man grabbed his arm and twisted it. Harry tried to run but the whale man was too strong. He undid his leather belt holding him in place and let the strikes rain down. It burned his little body and as the skin broke by the second lash the bleeding and bubbling from the destruction.
Harry was in agony.
Vernon Dursley as he wailed down on the little boy repeating this mantra "YOU WORTHLESS, USELESS FREAK!"
The mantra still haunts Harry or Alphard now. Not that Alphard Black had a happy childhood himself in place of physical beatings because they are not muggles. It was end of his father's wand. But he was not a cruel man and his discipline had a point. Unlike his sister Walburga who seems to have inherited the black madness.
He stormed in the house determined. His wand was raised…Ellie was on the floor looking like a broken rag doll. But when he saw Tobias Snape ruthlessly beating little Severus he saw red. He could not get a good shot with his wand so he went with a muggle method. He grabbed Tobias wrist. The man was confused. Who was grabbing him with such a force it could not be Eileen the useless wrench. A freak was in his house. He dropped Severus and charged at Alphard with the leather belt. Alphard raised his other hand with his wand floating Severus to the bed. Severus Tobias Snape was in shock. Was the Goddess answering his prayers? Who is this man? Will he win against Tobias?
Tobias shrieked, "FREAKKKKKKKKK I'LL SHOW YOU COMIN IN MY DAMN HOUSE!"
He charged like a bull. Even with Alphard still holding his left wrist. Alphard tossed his wand to Severus. His other hand went into a fist to hit the man with an uppercut. They were wrestling on the ground for Alphard kicked out the fool's leg. Tobias gave as well as he got with a head-butt. Alphard grabbed his neck but only managed to get his shoulders in funky lock.
"Go child leave this room and into the kitchen," said Alphard to Severus.
Tobias looked at the child with so much hate and tried to charge him but Alphard strength held firm. Severus was scared and tried to move but the pain was too much.
"Look at me Severus," commanded Alphard.
"Domus Morpheus" said Alphard magic intention towards Severus.
The child went to sleep holding Alphard wand.
Alphard then took his hands that were locking Tobias shoulders and put pressure on the back his neck until he snapped it. It made a crunch sound when it broke. He then covered his mouth to smother his breathing until he could breathe no more.
Alphard let the man's body on the floor and got up to stretch. Eileen was in shock Alphard killed Tobias….
"You killed him…." she whispered.
There was blood splatter on the floor and the walls. Alphard looked at his hands and realized they were bloody. It was like when he fight he was in a trance. Now that he snapped out of it he had to access the situation. But before he could reply someone else did.
"As, it was his right being that fifthly muggle was beating his heir. It seems that you both have some explaining to do."
A wizard was standing in the hallway and he looked rather furious.
Thank you for all the reviews, fav, follows fight scenes are rather hard to write.
