Harry Potter and His Fifth Year
Chapter 4 Savior
Severus Snape cursed his bad luck as he walked down Privet Drive. "Why couldn't Dumbledore send Black down here instead. He's Harry's godfather but no, he's on a mission. This is all Potter's fault, if had just gotten on the train. Ugh and his friends and the 'You-Know-Who business. Potter is too protected here." Snape stopped at #4. He looked around to make sure no Muggles were looking. He went up to the door and tried to open it but it was locked. Snape glanced around one more before pulling out his wand. "Alohomora!" He heard the click of the lock and swung the door open. "Now, where's Potter?" he whispered to himself, "Weasley said he lived upstairs." So, Snape ventured upstairs and slowly opened a door.
The room contained a huge TV, a computer, and countless other things. Snape didn't see any wizard items so he went to the next down. A pair of glasses lay on the floor. This room contained broken things, a cracked mirror, and an owl.
Snape smiled to himself, but it faded as he noticed blood on the broken glasses. 'Where's Potter?' he thought to himself. He stepped into the room. The floorboard creaked underneath him starling the owl. It started to screech. "Shut up you dumb bird or you'll wake the Muggles!" Snape hissed at it. Hedwig quieted down after hearing the word 'Muggle' but the damaged was already done.
Vernon appeared behind Snape holding a metal bat. "Who and what are you doing in my bloody house?"
"I am Professor Severus Snape, Potions Mater at Hogwarts. Where's Harry?"
Vernon realized that this man was a wizard. He charged at Snape yelling, "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE YOU FREAK!" Catching Snape by surprise, he swung the bat at Snape slamming it into his ribs.
Snape landed on the ground, pulled out his wand, and yelled, "Reducto!" The bat blew apart. Snape got up clutching his ribs, and dusted his robes off. He pointed his wand at Vernon saying, "Now where is Harry?"
"Under the stairs, cupboard," Vernon squeaked.
"Go to your room!" Snape ordered. Vernon went inside and closed the door. Snape pointed his wand at it and said, "Sesquihora Compingo!"
Snape hurried down the stairs. He quickly located the cupboard, unbolted it, and looked inside. "Lumos!" he said illuminating his wand. He gasped and dropped his wand. It rolled away from him. "Harry?" he whispered.
"I didn't say anything . . . I swear . . . nothing . . ." a whisper arose from the cupboard.
Snape picked up his wand again and placed it on a ledge so Snape could see what he was doing. He gently picked up the thin boy and laid him down outside of the cupboard so he could see Harry's injuries better. Snape picked up his wand and made cords shoot out wrapping around Harry's wrists and rib cage. The boy was thin a shaking.
"Harry where's all your school stuff?" Snape asked as he draped his cloak around Harry. Harry started to close his eyes. "HARRY! Don't go to sleep. Where are your school supplies?" Snape shook Harry a little.
"Professor Snape?" Severus nodded. "In my room . . . cupboard," Snape got up but Harry grabbed his wrist, "loose floorboard . . . under bed . . ." Harry's grip went limp as he fell unconscious.
Snape pulled out the trunk from the cupboard and went upstairs. He opened the floorboard and grabbed all parchments. Then the books and Harry's broken glasses. He was about to leave when the owl screeched. "Can you fly to the school?" Snape asked Hedwig. Hedwig hooted 'yes.' Snape let the snowy white owl out into the night.
Snape returned back downstairs. He placed everything in the trunk. He started a fire and threw in some Floo Powder. Snape gently picked up Harry and levitated the trunk to follow him. He walked into the fire saying "Hogwarts Infirmary!" Then he, Harry, and the trunk disappeared.
