Thirteen year old Harry Potter stood on the street with the other whores. It was almost dawn and his uncle would be showing up soon to collect him. He blew smoke from his cig which was still hanging out of the side of his mouth. He wore a way to tight sleeveless shirt that showed his belly button, and hip hugger jeans that were several sizes too small. The other whores had taken pity on him when he'd shown up and given him the clothes so he could get some customers. His hair was down past his shoulders and his eyes dead.

A car stopped in front of him and he walked over.

"It's fifty for fuck. "

"Put it and get in."

Harry stomped out his cig and slid in. The doors locked as he tried to get out.

"SNAPE!"

Severus pushed the boy against the passenger door when they had parked.

"How do you my name, child?"

Harry swallowed and tried to get away. Seeing that he wasn't going to be able to he lifted his long bangs sure enough Severus moved off the boy his eyes flashing.

"What the hell do you think you're doing, Potter?!" He watched Potter bite his lip. "ANSWER ME!"

"Doesn't matter." Harry mumbled looking out the window. " You wouldn't believe me if I told you... " He sighed, " Are you going to go through with this or take me back?"

"GET . OUT."

Harry tensed,

"Can you at least ..." His voice died in his throat his body shaking, "Can you take me back... at least a few blocks from where you got me... I don't know my way back from here..."

Severus was shaking with rage as he drove. He kept glancing at the boy.

" Answer my question." he said in a steady voice. "Why?"

"I have to earn my keep." Harry mumbled, "Vernon's not doing to well at work and doing this gets money and I get beat less..." Harry shrugged, "Just drop me here..."

" You are 13 do you know how dangerous this could be?"

"Yeah..." Harry mumbled staring out the window as they passed the park where he'd been picked up. " I've been doing this awhile."

"How long?"

"It doesn't matter." Harry took a ragged breath. "Let me out here." the car kept going. "You obviously know where I live but you cant drop me off there or they'll kill me so let me out. "

The car stopped. Harry got out and began walking. He knew he was in for it when he walked into the house and saw his uncle waiting. He quickly got all the money he made that night and put it on the kitchen table for his Aunt and Uncle to see. He swallowed and shifted around.

" Is this it?" His uncle asked, " Is this all you made?"

"That's twice as much as I normally..."

Harry cried out as he was backhanded and dragged to his cupboard.

Harry woke slowly his body hurting. He had no idea of the time but he soon found out when his door was wrenched open and his uncle yelled at him to get his ass to work!

Harry was so fucking tired and hungry and he still had two hours left. He noticed Snapes car and quickly got in though he didn't know why. He swallowed when he saw they were back in the same place they had been the night before apparently he'd fallen asleep.

"Change your mind?" He asked, glancing over at the man. "I've been told I pretty talented fuck."

Snape didn't respond for awhile.

"Does Dumbledore know about this?"

"Yeah." Harry nodded, " I told him first year... I ... It's safer for me with them... "

"and this doesn't bother you?"

"Fucking with YOU wouldn't bother me." Harry clarified, staring out the window . " You're a godsend compared to what I normally get."

"I'm not going to fuck you."

"Pity." Harry scoffed, The car began moving. Harry lay his head back and closed his eyes. " Hmmmmmmmmmmmm..."

"Wake up." Severus shook the child next to him. Emerald green eyes opened. " I want you to eat this. It's going to be a long car ride. "

Harry took the burger and nibbled on it before he noticed they were at his house and he was being pulled up to the door. What the hell did Snape think he was doing?!

Severus let them in and Vernon and Petunia looked up from the table. Petunia screamed.

"YOU!"

"Me." Severus replied, Harry looked between them eating his burger Dudley was gaping. "Harry, where is your trunk." Harry pointed at his cupboard. After getting everything. Severus knelt in front of the boy. "Do they keep you locked up in there , Harry?"

"Yes, Professor." Harry replied, "Can you let Hedwig out?" Severus quickly did so the owl nipped both of their ears and shot out the window to hunt. " Oh, my egg." He quickly got a small egg from under his pillow . " My snake friend out in the yard gave it to me. Said it didn't belong to him. Can I keep it?"

"Of course." Severus waved it off as he stood and patted Harry's head. "The Ministry is getting a report even now about how you have handled this boy and that I am taking him away from you forever. I will be adopting him. So ..."

"SO!" A cheery voice said, and a woman with bubble gum pink hair walked in as Harry swallowed the last of his food. " I'm Auror In-Training Tonks..."

"Senior Auror Shakelbolt." A black man said,

"Head Auror Moody." A crippled man with a fake leg and eye said, "You'll be signin' that boy over just sign these papers."

"WHY SHOULD WE?!" Vernon bellowed, "THE BOY IS OURS TO DO WITH WHAT WE LIKE!"

Harry flinched and they all noticed it. He rubbed his egg. Then bolted out the door Severus cursed and ran after him. When he found him the boy was screaming as a man attacked him. As the three of them got close a huge black dog attacked the man and Harry fled to Severus clinging for dear life. The dog, when done killing the man, whimpered at Harry lowering it's head and whining . Harry stared at it and held his hand out. It placed the egg in his hand and gave him a gentle lick before laying down in a ball.

"Is... is it hurt, Professor?"

Severus frowned he knew that dog form well. He wrapped a protective arm around the 13 year old who only looked 8, I know wrong on so meany levels right?, and frowned at the mangy mutt.

"No, Harry, I don't think he's hurt."

"He saved me." Harry replied, "He saved me like you did."

"Like I will." Severus corrected draping his jacket around the boy. " Come , lets get back before Moody curses them ."

"Good idea." Kingsley replied, sheepishly. "We shouldn't have left him."

Harry watched the dog follow them at a distance back to the house. Moody came out paper work in hand.

" 'ere ya' go , Snape. " he grunted given him the paperwork. " don' make me regret it, Kiddo."

"I wont, Moody." Severus breathed, "Thank you. " Moody spun."Wait!" Moody turned back. "That dog..."

"Yes,"

Severus nodded and got Harry securely in his car. Buckled and everything. He then opened the back door.

"IN!" The three Auror's cocked their eyebrows as the dog jumped in. He closed the door and quickly signed the papers before handing them back. "I'll be taking him to my house then and getting him set in. "

"We'll file it quickly."

Severus thanked them then got in and they were soon off.
