A/n: Welcome back to the wonderful world of the Severitus' yahoo group round robin. I am proud to state that we now have a new author joining us, but she hasn't written anything for the round robin yet. So now, we have Piri, Laura, lily, and me. Piri's additions will be in the next chapter. I am also proud to state that I'm now grounded again.I have to do a bunch of chores before leaving my house to get on the computer at the public library.

People; please remember that Harry doesn't know that Sev is his Uncle, let alone his father.

Warning: Vernon abuse.bad thing? Slash runs rampant through this fic.

Disclaimer: The three-legged leprechaun who chases me around with frying pans when the plot bunnies aren't attacking states that I don't own Harry Potter. He keeps mumbling something about Warner Brother, but I thought they were cartoon characters with a sister named Dot.

Dedicated: This whole fic is being dedicated to Indarae. We are ever so happy that someone actually volunteered to beta. (Beta note: Squee!)

Shining Light, Dark Night: Chapter Seven

Bill ran fast as lightening to the dungeon room. As soon as he reached the door, he banged it open so hard that he startled the group of people in there.

Panting, Bill said "Draco.... found ...out cold...in the ... Great Hall." Everyone present gasped. Severus' face paled as Bill continued. "Minerva needs you to come right away with a potion for blood transfusion, Professor."

When Bill finished speaking, Severus went to his cabinet, grabbed a potion from the shelf, and ran out the door, growling something about killing someone and leaving everyone in shock as they continued with their work.

Severus shook his head slightly to dispel the thoughts that were running through his head. Thoughts of killing Lucius Malfoy in the slowest, most agonizing ways was a tad wasteful of his concentration at the moment. Severus finally arrived in the main hall, to see what seemed to be a bunch of rags lying on the floor.

Getting closer, he saw the blonde hair that Draco was so known for. He took a deep breath and prepared himself for the sight that he was going to see. If Bill Weasley was in such distress, things could not be well.

Severus quickly picked Draco up and carried him up to the hospital wing. When he entered, he saw papers, books, and other things flying around. The cause of the maelstrom was thrashing around in the middle of his bed. His mouth was opened, and he seemed to be screaming, but not a sound was heard. Poppy was looking around desperately. She didn't know what to do. Severus smirked to himself. Poppy hadn't known what to do when he and James had both done that to the hospital room. Albus was standing in the corner of the room, looking shocked at the display of power in front of him. Poppy looked almost relieved to get out of there, and she started to grab some potions from the shelf. Sirius was the only one who was doing something sensible. He was calmly speaking to Harry, while being careful not to touch the boy.

Charlie went to check on Vernon Dursley, who was being watched by Filch, a bad tempered Squib who was allowed to stay as caretaker at Hogwarts. Helping to watch were Charlie's two younger brothers, George and Fred, twins who would be in their last year at Hogwarts. They were also famous for their pranks and mail-in joke shop: the Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.

Charlie realized something; a sick-minded caretaker and two practical joking twins joining forces against one asshole by the name of Vernon Dursleys certainly equaled nightmare for Vernon. Chuckling, Charlie muttered, " I never thought that I would see the day when those three would join together. That's as scary as Snape being Harry's father," Charlie said sarcastically to himself.

As he made his way to the room were Vernon Dursley was being held in, the sound of cursing and yelling could be heard from behind the closed door. Charlie silently opened the door and watched as Fred and George helped Filch chain a struggling Vernon Dursley to the stonewall. Metal rings had been drilled into the stonewall to wrap Vernon's chains together and to keep him from fleeing in terror.

"LET ME GO YOU FREAKS!!!" yelled Vernon. "HOW DARE YOU TREAT ME LIKE A COMMON WHORE!!!"

That was it. Running toward Dursley with anger and hate flowing in his blood, Charlie raised his fist and started to beat Dursley.

"HOW DARE YOU! AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO HARRY! AND YOU CALL US FREAKS AND TREAT YOU LIKE A WHORE??" Charlie yelled after punching Dursley one last time.

"Relax, brother. Fred and I were about to treat Mr. Dursley here to a drink," said George.

"Yea. We think he'll enjoy it," said Fred. Charlie and Filch shared amused look as the twins forced a potion down Dursley's throat. A few minutes later Charlie and Filch burst out laughing as Vernon Dursley peed in his pants.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU GIVE ME?" yelled Vernon, his face stained bright red with anger.

"We gave you a new potion we made," began George.

Fred finished, "It's called 'Puella'. It causes the drinker to pee non-stop for a minute."

"But for you we made it last for at least two hours," said George. They laughed at the terror on Vernon's face as they talked to each other about what they should do next to him.

~Infirmary~

Madam Pomfrey was at her wits end. Two teenage boys both terribly injured and raped. What was the world coming to, when family abused and raped their own? Poppy knew in her heart that it was Lucius that had hurt Draco so severely even though no one had said a word on who inflicted the injuries on Draco. She remembered when he had come in and asked her many questions on self-healing and Severus had remarked the other day that he was proud that Draco was taking such an interest in healing potions. Poppy shook her head sadly and continued to write and check their charts. She prayed to whatever Gods where out there that these boys could find some peace and love that they had lacked all their lives.

Thanks to are reviewers:

Herald-Mage Brianna: More here.

Saavik: Yes, they are both abused. I think we will. One of us would be able to work it in. Yes, we know.someone beta'ed the chapters, but I only have replaced the first two at the moment. The other ones will be uploaded as soon as I have time, probably sometime tomorrow or the day after.

May: Thank-you

Whtlily2: What is there to worry about? I'm in perfect mental health. Well, if you discount all the little voices frolicking through my mind. Hey people, this is one of the other RR authors. Go look for her stuff. You'll find it under Whtlily2. She has a cute poem about Sevie-poo and what he thinks when he looks at Harry.

Saerry Snape: Thank you for the chocolate frogs. As Lily said, they taste marvelous. Rating has already been bumped up to R.

Prophetess Of Hearts: Thank-you for reviewing. Yeah, it is sort of hard t feel sorry for Sev.

Pvipertooth: That was fanfiction.net. Hopefully everything is fixed now.
