This is a reply to Severus's (sp?) Challenge!!
Harry Potter's summer after his 4th year at Hogwart's had just begun and already he wanted to go back. His Uncle had started drinking, heavily. He had come up to Harry's room and started kicking him in the stomach. He heard a definite snap as his Uncle's boot connected with his chest.
When he had left Harry had blacked out. His throat was red-raw from screaming too much. Harry tried to sit-up but was met by a throbbing pain in his chest again. He slowly got up and limped to the toilet in silence. He looked in the bathroom mirror. If you saw him now you wouldn't recognize him as Harry Potter. His face was covered in cuts and bruises and his eyes were no longer the bright green they used to be. Even without the cuts and bruises he still wasn't recognizable as Harry. His hair was longer and the shape of his face was thinner. He grabbed a damp cloth and wiped it on his boiling face.
He sneaked back into his room and lied on his bed. His birthday was in five days and he didn't want to be ill and bruised on it even though there was no point looking forward to it. His relatives never bothered to get him anything even talks about it.
He sighed and lent back on his pillow.

Remus Lupin was having a conversation with Severus Snape in Snape's office.
'Why haven't you told him yet?' Lupin asked.
'I have only really just found out myself, Lupin.' Snape said back.
'Go to him now, Snape. What will happen when he turns 15 and finds he looks nothing like he did before? Who knows how he will react. Go and tell him.' Lupin said.
'Get a grip, Lupin. Can you see me as a father? Fathers are someone there kids look up to. Would you look up to me? A deatheater? What would you do if you found out someone you hate and they hate you back was your father?' Snape said.
'I know this is tough on you but he has a right to know. He has grown up unloved and thinking he was worthless. He needs a family even if it is you. You may say that he's got Sirius but Sirius could never be a proper Godfather until he is free but that can't happen until Wormtail is caught.' Lupin said.
'What about his relatives? I thought he lived with them, getting waited on hand and foot.' Snape spat.
'Don't you know?' Lupin asked.
'Know what?' Snape answered.
'His relatives beat him. They hate magic so automatically, they hate Harry. He grew up in a cupboard under the stairs.' Lupin said. Snape looked at him shocked.
'Is he still in that cupboard now?' Snape asked.
'No, I don't think so. I think they put him in Dudley's second bedroom just before he started Hogwart's.' Lupin said. Snape stared at him.
'Okay, maybe you're right. I'll go to him and explain. But don't blame me if he runs off.' Snape said.
'Maybe I should come with you and wait outside to stop him if he runs off.' Lupin said. Snape nodded and they both went to the fire in Snape's office and flooed to Miss Figg's.
