A/N Hey Guys! Got this one up for you as soon as I could! Hope you enjoy :)
Chapter 2:
Harry moaned as he rolled over on to his side in the dark, his back felt like it was on fire and he was sure that his ribs were broken. His hand felt around in the dark only to feel them in two broken pieces. "looks like I wont be seeking much" he muttered to himself.
He stopped moving and slowed his breathing down so that he could focus on hearing to see what was happening within the house but there was no sound, and there wasn't any light coming in through the hatch so Harry assumed it was night time.
As harry tried to get comfy with least amount of pain he tried to remember what happened, when all his memories came rushing back to him, about the chores ad his uncle's drunken behaviour. He hated being knocked on concious because he never knew how long had passed or what the time was.
But knowing his uncle he knew that there would be more punishment than just being beaten, he just hoped it wasn't too severe.
What harry didn't know and wouldn't for days to come was that he had been on conscious for two days and in that time the Order had gotten worried. Mundungus had left to be replaced with Charlie Weasley, the second eldest weasley son, he was on watch a lot of the time as he was currently on leave from Romania, as such he knew Harry's schedule very well, when he didn't see Harry, he didn't think much but he let Severus Snape know when he came to take over watching.
Snape was hoping nothing was wrong and just assumed that maybe Harry had the day off from chores from once. His Uncle could have been feeling nice.
When he started hearing shouting he quitely crept closer to the house to hear the fight.
"MUUUMMMM!" dudley shouted
"Yes duddykins?" Pentuia said in a sickly sweet voice
"WHERES MY BREAKFAST?" Dudley bellowed "WHYS THE FREAK NOT UP YET?"
" I have to make brekafast today duddykins, Your father taught the freak a lesson the other day and you know he isn't allowed out of the Cupboard until the weekend, and that means to cook your breakfast so you;'ll have to give me a minute to finish it off" petunia explained to her son
"But why does Potter get to laze around in his cupboard all day, Dad punished him days ago, why can't he be left in his cupboard when not doing chores? He can still do his chores without being fed" Dudley said.
Severus couldn't believe what he had heard, they were calling Harry a freak? What cupboard? Why wasn't he in a bedroom, and why would he be doing chores but not be getting food? For the rest of Severus' shift his mind was whirling with the new information that he had found out from the mornings conversation and with that in mind when he was relieved of his post he went straight to Headmaster Dumbledore.
Inside the house, none of the occupants noticed someone hovering by the window or a shadow with no body walking away back to the large tree at the end of their residents. Like Dudley had said Uncle Vernon went and woke his nephew up. "you can be punished boy! But theres no need for you to be so lazy! Get your ungrateful arse up now! You have chores to do, they'll be no food today and if all your chores aren't done there will be no food for a week!" He shouted to the boy through the door
"yes unlce Vernon," moaned Harry through the door as he slowly got himself up grimacing from the pain knowing he was going to be working slow today because of his injuries. He just hoped he didn't have a lot of chores to do.
Once in the kitchen Harry collected his list of chores from his uncle and got straight to work with an inaudible groan. There was no way he was going to get them all done, the list was impossibly long. He knew his uncle had done it in purpose just to punish him some more. However he ignored his rumbling stomach and the pain radiating from all over his body and started on his chores. It would be a long day today. Especially since uncle Vernon had the day off work and kept his piggy eyes on Harry all day.
While Harry worked his aunt was busy getting Lunch and Dinner ready for her husband and son, if she could distract them for two minutes she could give her nephew a piece of bread. Of course she didn't like the freak, but she didn't want him starving. Of course if he starved she would have to do all his chores.
Dudley thought it would be great fun to follow Harry around all day insulting him and his parents to try and get him riled up, both himself and Harry knew that if Harry said anything than he would be punished dearly. With that in mind Harry blocked everyone out and thought of his bed longingly at Hogwarts, wishing dearly he could be away from the Dursleys.
He didn't know his wish was about to become true.
Severus Snape stalked through the hogwarts corridors with his cloakc billowing out behind him as he walked. He reached the stone statue to Dumbledore's office and stood there for five minutes guessing the stupid password "old fool, changing his password again! How are we to talk to him when he won't tell us! Lemon drops? Chocolate frog? Bertie bots?" as Snape stood there and listed off every sweet he knew Dumbledore stood behind him and smiled
"Severus, what can I do for you?" Dumbldore asked
a word headmaster, now!" severus shouted losing his calm at least
Dumbledore didnt respond just moved to the goyle which jumped aside instantly, once seated in Dumbledore's office with a cup of tea each he turned to Severus. "now Severus...what is so important?
