Chapter 2- The-Boy-Who-Was-Funny
After having applied the Glamour, Harry followed Aunt Petunia into the living room, to see which teacher had come to his home.'Home? Who are you kidding this place never has been nor ever will be home' Harry thought bitterly. He entered the room with his gaze glued to the ground, trying to stand as still as possible, so that he wouldn't feel the pain of his injuries. It was only when he heard the silky, yet condescending voice of his Potions professor did his head snap up. Standing in front of him was Severus Snape, the only person who seemed to hate him as much as the Dursleys. Thoughts were racing in his head as to why the Potions Master was here.
Maybe I left something at Hogwarts he thought.
Riiiiight because Snape the greasy git of the dungeons would travel all this way to bring something that his favorite student left behind
Well than maybe his car broke down or something and-
Really Harry really. Do you honestly think that Snape has a CAR? God your stupid.
Hey your me, so that means your stupid too, which means that you cant call me stupid because-
Shut up you git, your confusing the both of us.
Oh Gods ,I'm arguing with myself, well at least now I know I really am crazy.
It was only when Snape spoke again, that Harry snapped out of his argument with himself. Realizing that he hadn't heard a word Snape had spoken he decided that he would take a chance and asked Snape to repeat himself. Of course when he did exactly that he was of course insulted. Wow. What a shocker.
"Honestly Potter I know that you think yourself to be better than everyone else in this world but that inane belief does not give you the right to not pay attention when someone is talking to you. I asked whether you have been enjoying your summer?
To say Harry was confused would be an understatement. That's what he came here for to ask whether I've been enjoying my summer. ' What am i supposed to say, Oh yes Professor its been an absolute joy having the shit kicked out of me, and tossed in my cupboard because I burnt a piece of toast. But the Best part of my summer so far has been where I was given an apple three days ago. My relatives are so kind and giving, don't ya think.' He felt an odd feeling in his head almost as if someone was reading his thoughts, but forgot all about that when he noticed that both Professor Git and Aunt Horseface were waiting for his answer.
" Oh Professor I've enjoyed every minute so far," he said hoping that it would get Snape out of here fast. For an extra measure he added " Its been great being back in my cupb-home."
'Crap' he thought 'I almost said being back in my cupboard, I wonder if Aunt Petunia had noticed.' He risked a glance at said Aunt, and saw the glare she was giving like I can here her already 'Just wait till your Uncle gets home!' So much for not getting that beating.
What Harry didn't notice was that brushing, evading feeling on his mind again.
"Well Potter, how nice," Severus said sneering over the word nice. He now knew there was nothing nice about Potter's summer. He had cast a silent legilimens on The-Brat-Who-Wouldn't-Listen, when he repeated his question about the boy's summer. He had found two things, both shocking.
The first was that Harry bloody Potter was being abused. That revelation alone had caused his head to reel, though of course he didn't show it on his face. A true Slytherin kept there mask on at all times. He would not let his emotions be known to anyone. The last time he had, he was watching his mother being beaten to death by his father. After that day he swore he would never hit another human being, and that he would not rest till his father was dead. He was happy to say that both things had been achieved. 'What was I thinking before? Ah. Potter' The fact that Harry Potter was being abused was astounding, and he knew that no matter his own feelings for the boy, that he had to get Potter out of here. Immediately. But first he needed proof.
The second thing he found upon entering Potter's mind was that the boy was funny. He had the same dry, sarcastic humor that he himself had. He had listened to Potters mini argument with himself, and wanted to chuckle.. Out loud. And this surprised him to no end. 'The boy really isn't that stupid' Severus thought, 'He would have made a good Slytherin,' but a moment after he made that thought he mentally slapped himself. As if the son of James Potter could actually be placed in Slytherin. The thought itself was ludicrous.
He then asked about the boys health, and if he was feeling up to par. And of course the boy answered with a lie. How did he know it was a lie? It was because Severus had silently cast a spell on Potter, that would make any of The-Boy-That-Annoyed-Him-To-No-End's injuries apparent to himself. What he found shook him to the core. There were multiple bruises, lacerations, welts, and scabs on the bot. Also he had to broken ribs. To Severus that did not sound like the boy was "just dandy, thanks" albeit with a small amount of sarcasm only he could detect .Severus had two thoughts 'There's that damn humor again' and 'No wonder he's standing as still as a statue. It most hurt him severely to move.'
" I shall be taking my leave now. Good day Potter," he spoke abruptly. He nodded towards Potter, only to receive a slightly confused stare. Whether the stare was due to his sudden words, or the fact that he had actually acknowledged Potter with good wishes, he did not know. But one thing he did know was that he was not leaving.
Yes, he did walk out the door; and yes, he did walk down the street, at least far enough from the watchful gaze of Horselady. But no, he did not leave. He cast a quick disillusionment spell on himself, and walked back to Number 4 Pivet Drive, and reentered the house. He had decided to observe Potter's day, so he sould obtain proof of the abuse. No, Severus Snape was not leaving at any time. That did not make him happy
