A PERFECT DREAM

"Damn that boy!" muttered Severous Snape as he walked up the road to #4 Privet Drive. "Of course he couldnt come on the train! But no, thats not good enough for Potter, he has to make me come all the way to BFE to get him! Well, we'll just have to see how many points I can take from him this year."

It was Harry Potters fifth year at Hogwarts, but he hadnt got on the train, so, of course, it was Snape that was sent to get him.

Cursing under his breath, he made it up the stairs and knocked on the door. His lip curled as he saw a perfect little garden on the front lawn, but then, of course, Harry Potter had to have the best of everything, he never knew what it was like to be hurt... Snapes thoughts were abruptly broken when the front door opened. A very fat man was standing in front of him, staring at him with hard, cold eyes.

"What the hell do you want?" asked the man.

"Hello, um... Sir," said Snape. " I am here to get Harry and take him to school, since he has decided not to take the train this year."

"There is no Harry Potter here! I have no idea what you are talking about! Now, GET THE HELL OFF OF MY LAWN!"

"No Harry Potter, huh? Well, I think there is because, if he was not here, how would you know his last name? Now if you will excuse me..."

He stepped past the man and into the house, when the man tried to stop him, Snape put a full-body-bind on him. As he was walking towars the stairs, he noticed a large door, with several locks on it, heading off to the left. He unlocked the locks with alohomora, and stepped into the room.

The first thing he saw was an extemely fat boy, with a video camera, pointing it at the far wall. He looked towards the wall and saw a bony woman, dressed all in black leather, with a whip, standing above another extremely thin child. As Snape watched in horror, she continued to beat the child, again and again, with the whip. Looking around, he also saw knives, whips and chains.

As fast as he could, Snape jumped forward and pulled the large woman away from the child, who was none other than... HARRY POTTER!! Snape couldnt believe it, he immediatly stunned the woman and the boy and, as gently as he could, picked up Harry. He carried him into the living room and set him on the couch.

He then went back into the room and dragged the woman out and set her on the floor in the kitchen. He tried to lift the extremely fat boy but couldn't, so he floated him out and put him next to his mother.

He walked back into the living room and put a spell on Harry to make him answer his questions, but stay unconsious. He then began asking him simple questions, such as...

"Who are those people?"

"My aunt uncle and cousin."

"Why were they doing that to you?"

"They hate me."

"Why do they hate you?"

"Ihave no idea."

He took the spell off and wrote a message to Dumbledore, saying he found Harry and was bringing him to the school. . He found Harrys owl, Hedwig, in a cage in the far room, she was also starving and weak. He gave her some food and told her to deliver the letter to Dumbledore, then go to the owlery.

As he picked Harry up to carry him out of the house, leaving the Dursleys stunned, (He didn't care about them), the boy groaned. Snape then felt something he never had before, sympathy, he was so sorry this had to happen to Harry. And he realised that what he thought about Harry and his family was wrong, it was just a perfect dream.
