Chapter 17
A Miracle
Harry's eyes widened in shock as he saw that the child's hands were broken. The dream started to repeat in Harry's mind and the snapping of the kid's hands sounded louder than ever. Harry closed his eyes as he heard Voldemort speak to him.
"I don't see why you are so attached to this thing," Harry heard the child yelp. He snapped his eyes open only to see that he had been blindfolded. Harry felt an arm wrapped around his waist and something being poked on his neck.
"What is the first step Master?" Snape tightened his grip around Harry's waist and he tried to struggle. Harry heard a pair of footsteps coming towards him. When they stopped Harry heard something being dropped to the floor with a thump.
"We must first kill the child," Harry tried to struggle again but Snape's grip only got tighter. Harry put more pressure on his eyelids so stars started to flash in his eyes. In frustration, Harry bit his tongue and tasted his own blood. Then he heard Voldemort's voice.
"Avada-"
"NO!" Harry had broken away from Snape's grip and flung himself forward. He fell to the floor and his blindfold flew off. He opened his eyes slowly.
"No? You rather I torture him first, is it?" Voldemort was right in front of Harry and was in a squatting position. Harry tried to get up from the floor but Voldemort grabbed Harry by his wrist. Voldemort pulled Harry up and threw him back into Snape's arms. Snape's powerful arm was once again wrapped around Harry's waist.
"Crucio!"
Harry heard the child yelp and scream as he tried to run away but was unable to. He tried to kick Snape so he would let go but when he tried, Snape kicked his calves. Harry hissed in pain and dropped motionless in his arms.
"Crucio!" Harry felt as if he was being ripped away from his body. He screamed and kicked but Snape continued to hold him. He closed his eyes tightly hopping that the pain would end soon.
When Harry was freed from the spell Snape let him drop to the ground with a clatter. There was a pair of footsteps coming towards him and a hard kick at his chest. He turned his head hopping that Voldemort wouldn't see the pain on his face.
Too late.
"And you would have thought that my Grandson would be as strong as me," Another sharp kick.
"My Lord…may I ask you a favor?"
"What is it Severus?" Harry heard a swish of a cloak in front of his face.
"May I have a go?" Harry snapped his eyes open and saw that Voldemort and Snape were standing in front of him. He tried to sit up but Voldemort's foot stopped the process. Harry still tried to get up but Voldemort prevented it with a sharp kick.
"Anything you want Severus, as long as you get the job done,"
Voldemort walked over to the unknown child and scooped him into his arms and started to walk towards the door. When he was about to walk out he stopped abruptly and turned.
"Oh yes, Severus; your life is at debt,"
Snape's eyes widened as he heard Voldemort's last statement. Voldemort smiled as he walked out the door.
Snape stood silent for a moment and then glared down at Harry. He gave him a sharp kick in his stomach and his face lit up as he saw Harry moan in pain. Then he dropped down to his knees.
"Time to start,"
Snape raised his wand and Harry closed his eyes as tight as they could be and was expecting the worse pain in his entire life but there was a pair of running footsteps and he heard Snape stop.
"What in the hell-"
There was a loud crack and a something big dropped to the floor. There was also a sound that sounded like a branch breaking. Harry opened his eyes slowly to see a miracle.
Snape was on the floor and a tall man was standing over him.
"Sirius!"
