After they finished packing they headed downstairs for breakfast, they were the last ones down, the girls beat them
" Well look who finally decided to grace us with their presence" Mr. Weasly said
" We were packing up Harry's things since he's leaving tomorrow" Ron said
" Very good" Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eye
" Well come on you two, sit down for breakfast, Harry I want to see you eat second helpings, you are way too skinny for your age" Mrs. Weasly said
Harry blushed at that
" What do you mean he's too skinny?" Severus said a little worried
" His relatives don't feed him much during the summer" Ron said
" Ron... shut up" Harry whispered
" What do you mean? Why don't they feed you Harry?" Severus asked
Harry groaned
" Because my cousin Dudley is on a diet, and since he's on one then the whole house is supposed to be on one, of course Uncle Vernon needs to be on one but Aunt Petunia and I do not need one" Harry said
" Your pig of a cousin hasn't been on that diet long and what about before you knew you were a wizard Harry? Tell them about that" Ron said
" RON NO" Harry yelled
" What about before you knew you were a wizard Harry?" Severus asked getting up from his seat
" It's... It's nothing... Ron be quiet" Harry said with annoyance
" If you won't tell then I will" Ron said
" RON NO" Harry yelled
" Harry this is important" Ron said
" He doesn't need to know" Harry said
" What don't I need to know?" Severus asked
" It's nothing, Ron shouldn't have even brought it up" Harry said, " Forget he said anything"
" Harry I think your father has the right to know how your relatives treated you" Hermione said
" Now you're taking his side? You both are supposed to be my best friends" Harry said
" We are your best friends, and friends are supposed to watch out for each other" Hermione said
" And friends are supposed to keep other friends secrets that they don't want anybody else to know" Harry said glaring at his so called friends
" Harry how did your relatives treat you?" Severus asked
" It doesn't matter, it's in the past" Harry whispered, " Let's just drop it"
" No we are not going to drop it" Severus said, " Did those muggles abuse you?"
" No... they... I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT" Harry yelled and ran out of the kitchen and up to his room
" Mr. Weasly what have those relatives of his done to him?" Severus asked
Ron wasn't looking at Snape, he was looking at the spot Harry was just at
" Mr. Weasly I asked you a question" Severus said
Ron was debating whether or not he should tell, he decided telling would be better
" They locked him in a cupboard under the stairs until he came back from Hogwarts after first year" Ron said
" They didn't always feed him either" Hermione said
" During the summer of the first year, Fred, George and I had to save him because his windows were barred shut and he wasn't answering any of our owls" Ron said
" They barred his windows? I thought you just said that as an excuse" Mrs. Weasly said
" No Mum they really did" Ron said
" Well that is what I call abuse" Severus said getting mad, " Thank you for telling me"
" What are you going to do professor?" Hermione asked
" That will be between me, Harry and his relatives" Severus said with anger in his voice, "NOBODY SHOULD DO THAT TO A CHILD"
Meanwhile up in Harry and Ron's room
" Oh great Ron and Hermione told, and now he's very upset" Harry thought after he heard Severus's outrage, " I hope he doesn't do anything drastic
Back down in the kitchen
Severus left the kitchen and headed up to Harry and Ron's room and knocked
" Gee I wonder who that is" Harry thought and said, " Come in"
Severus entered and Harry got off his bed and faced his new found father
" Well I heard what has been going on at your relatives" Severus said
" Not the spoiled brat you thought I was right?" Harry asked
" No... actually the complete opposite" Severus said, I guess the Legilimency I did on you was just a taste of the abuse you went though"
" It wasn't abuse" Harry said
" Harry, neglecting to feed a child at least two times a day is called abuse, locking a child in a room for days with bars on windows are locked in a cupboard is called abuse" Severus said
" I thought abuse was just hitting people and bruising them" Harry said
" No, there's more to it than that" Severus said
" Ok, so you know how I have been treated, now we can get on with our lives" Harry said
" Not as simple as that, we are going to visit your relatives today" Severus said
" What? Professor no, Uncle Vernon hates magic and magical people" Harry said
" I don't give a damn what your uncle likes or dislikes, he has abused a child and he is going to be punished" Severus said
" You're not going to use an unforgivable curse are you?" Harry asked horrified
" Of course not, I'm not evil, but he does deserve it... I'm mostly going to scare him and take this with muggle social services and see if he can get arrested or something" Severus said
" What would become of Aunt Petunia and Dudley" Harry asked
" Does your aunt work" Severus asked
" No, she's a house wife" Harry said
" Well, she'll have to get a job to take care of herself and your cousin" Severus said, "Now come on we will leave now
Harry grabbed his wand from his nightstand and he and Severus apparated to Number four private drive
