Disclaimer: Not mine.obviously
Thanks to everyone who reviewed, I love you all. I am planning to change the rating of this story to PG-13 and then increasing it as needed so don't be surprised if the rating changes. Sorry it took me so long to update but with f.f being down and then my internet not working I couldn't upload.and I also had a bit of writers block. I'm sorry if Snape is a bit OOC in this story I just can't seem to get him right.
//.// Severus's thoughts *.* Harry's thoughts
Chapter 4
Everyone downstairs froze as they heard a loud bang coming from upstairs. //What's going on up there// Severus started to rise when Petunia put a restraining hand on his arm "Don't worry about that, I'm sure it was nothing, my nephew is probably just being clumsy again." Severus didn't say anything to her he just looked at her hand in disgust and then pulled away from her to go upstairs and find out what was going on, giving her and her son his trademark glare before he left the room.
When Severus got upstairs he swept into the spare room and froze in shock at the scene that had appeared before his eyes. //Oh my God how.how could he treat a child like that?// Severus thought as he saw Vernon stood over Harry (who was bleeding and bruised) yelling abuse at him. Vernon raised his fists again and Severus drew his wand "PETRIFICUS TOTALUS" he yelled and Vernon froze, his arms and legs snapping to his sides as he fell to the floor with a look of horror on his face. Severus towered over him, his wand still drawn as he glowered at Vernon, undisguised hatred on his face, "How dare you treat him like that you fat bullying Muggle. Lily would be turning in her grave if she knew how you were treating her son. You deserve to rot in hell for what you have done and I would be quite happy to.no, Albus would not be happy if I killed you but.", he paused and glanced at Harry, and promptly lost his train of thought, a look of concern crossed his face as he watched Harry and his voice was soft when he spoke next, "Harry, are you alright?" "I.I'm fine Professor" Harry said and then winced as he stood up, clutching his ribs "Don't do anything to them Professor, they're not worth going to Azkaban over" "But." he stopped when he saw the look on Harry's face and said, "If you're sure I suppose I could leave them alone" As they had been talking Petunia and Dudley had come upstairs to see what was going on and they were staring at Severus and Harry with identical looks of horror on their faces. Severus ignored them and continued talking to Harry "You might not want me to hurt them, although God knows they deserve it, but I'm taking you out of here tonight. Go and get you things together and then we will apparate to Hogwarts and hopefully you will never have to come back here again!" "Erm.I'd love to leave Professor, even if it means I would have to stay with you because I hate it here, but I thought that Professor Dumbledore said that I had to stay here for the summer." "He did say that, but only because he thought you would be safest with them, away from Voldemort, but obviously he was wrong wasn't he?" "I suppose.I guess I'll go and get my things together then.

Harry left the room and disappeared into his bedroom to get his things packed. Once Harry had left Severus turned to Petunia "What I have done to your husband is not permanent so don't get too upset, although what I'd like to do would be permanent. anyway I'm taking Harry with me tonight and I hope that for your sake that you don't have any objections" Severus turned around and stormed out of the room, furious with the Dursleys, leaving Vernon petrified on the floor. He heard clunking coming from one of the rooms and assumed that this was Harry's room and he knocked on the door. "Come in" Harry said and Severus pushed open the door and locked round it to see Harry stuffing things into his trunk with his snowy owl watching him curiously. "Just to let you know I'll be taking you to Hogwarts for now but I don't know what you will be doing for the rest of the summer as I was only meant to check on you, so we will need to talk to Albus about it. Would you like me to help you carry that trunk downstairs Harry?" "If you wouldn't mind, it is kinda heavy." At that Severus stepped further into the room and lifted Harry's trunk for him and carried it downstairs, while Harry followed carrying Hedwig. When they got downstairs Severus turned to Harry and said "We will need to walk a few streets away from your house before we can apparate to Hogwarts because of the anti-apparition ward around this street so you will need to carry your owl while I carry this.if its okay, I mean I got the impression that your arm was hurting." "That's fine Professor, Hedwig's not that heavy anyway" harry started to follow Severus out the door and then paused and said to him "Don't you think you should undo what you did to my Uncle Professor?" "No, and anyway it will have worn off by tomorrow morning so I think he should just be left like that" Harry smiled, liking this new side to his Potions teacher and followed him out the door and away from Privet Drive.
After they had walked for a few minutes Severus decided they were far enough away and stopped. "I will need to shrink your things so that they can be more easily transported, and that includes your owl, don't worry it won't hurt her, she will just become smaller so if you'll let me." he paused and looked at Harry who handed Hedwig over. Severus used a shrinking spell on the objects and put them in his pocket before speaking again, "You will need to hold on to me so that I can apparate you to Hogsmeade. Try not to be afraid as it will just make it more difficult for me just clear your mind and you will be fine." Severus reached out and put an arm around Harry, pulling him closer and then a second later they appeared in Hogsmeade and Severus lead the way to Hogwarts where Harry would now be staying.at least for now.
