Title: Cruel Summer
Summary: see chapter one
Disclaimer: see chapter one
A/N: This fic is still AU, which means not canon, and within the realm of anything is possible, any reviews are welcome, flames are amusing. I have to say I got a MIXED reaction to Snape killing Vernon. I shall now tell you of my thoughts quickly. One it is a story of fiction, not real. Second this kind of thing happens, people make mistakes and instead of persecuting them they give them a chance, I mean Dumbledore could have had Snape locked up forever in Azkaban for being a death eater and killing people BUT he didn't. All I can say is read the fic for what it is a story of fiction.
Now to the GREAT reviewers!
aquitaineq: Yes, Murder is bad. And they have a problem with it of course, but the biggest problem now lies within Harry finding a way to get past his life of torment at their hands. Sorry if it offended you.
CHild-Of-Darkness1988: Umm thanks I think if so WOO HOO
Prohetess Of Hearts: Thanks,Yes I could have thrown Vernon to the wolves, but that was the way the fic came out when I wrote it.
Ymmas Sirron: THANKS! You didn't hate me for killing Vernon, and then not throwing Snape to the wolves for it!
opal: How did who know? and no the basement will forever be a mystery
ShadowedHand: It was what popped out during the writing of the fic, it is not necessarily my views.
Mistress-Genari: Thanks for your kind review. many children speak well mannered. I have three and I try to instill in them to use proper terms and english. As for the second I think he would live in constant fear even at school, from knowing he is destined to kill Voldemort, or be killed, and may very well take his friends with him in the process, shrugs but these are my views. Thanks for your lovely review though.
tigersmeleth: Thanks Tiger! Yes I do enjoy the awww moments between Severus and Harry
Jade Sierra Snape: Thanks a lot for the review!
HecateDeMort: thanks!
Kaorethein: Yes Severus could have taken Sirius but he was a person driven by the heat of the moment I guess.
Nicky15: Thanks! For your review! Yes, I see that you think it was unfair of Snape. I do believe Snape did not go there with the intent to kill Vernon though. I suppose we could have taken Vernon and placed him in Azkaban with the dementors, or took the group of wizards to muggle court, but alas this fic was not destined to go that way. Again I thank you for your kind words.
athenakitty: Yes, I do believe he will learn the folly of his mistake, in later chapters you will see and no he will not give him nutrional supplements.
ciberloco: I have updated! no more waiting had to get to the flamers! SO here you go!
Whew! Thanks to all your WONDERFUL reviewers. I know Severus killing Vernon was a shock, as it seemed no one gave a crap, but trust me they did, and it will reflect in later chapters. Otherwise I say it is a story, not real life, take it for what is is merely a piece of fiction and enjoy it.
Chapter 16
Lunch was a quiet affair with no one mentioning the things that happened the night before. Harry did however see Sirius giving Snape some evil glares, and was sure if he had a wand he would be hexing him now. Dumbledore stood half way through the meal and excused himself saying he had to clear up some things, and that he would be back before nightfall. He left Minerva in charge, and then in a graceful manner left the Great Hall.
Minerva turned to glare at all three men. "I have some things to do today in Diagon Alley for an hour or two, do you think it would be within reason to assume you three could stay out of trouble?" she said pointing at the three men. All three looked at her as if to say of course and she got up, but not before giving them a glare to rival Snape, even on his best day.
Harry was quite full and he asked if he could go back to his room and lay down for awhile, and perhaps read. "Of course Harry come on we will walk you back."
As they walked Harry was silent. "Is something troubling you Harry?" Remus asked.
"No.. it's just, Well it's just that I have never had a summer so full of free time. I do not know what to do with myself."
"How about you think up something and your father and us can take you out for a day of fun or two" Remus suggested. This brightened the boy's face immediately. As they made the turn going past the girl's lavatory they heard shrieks from within and recognized the voice as Dobby.
"I want all these toilets clean and sparkling before I come back. I told you that you would pay and you shall! You are very bad elves and Dobby will curse you into the next century if you ever harm H..." Severus quickly scooted Harry past the door so he could not hear the rest of the sentence. Once inside his chambers he ushered Harry into bed and gave him his books to look over.
"Do not overdo it. If you feel tired go to sleep. Myself, your godfather and Remus have something to do quickly and then I will be back. Under no circumstances are you to leave the dungeon until I return. Is that clear?"
Harry nodded, and climbed on the bed and opened his transfiguration book and began to read, Severus turned to the other two men and smiled a wicked smile. "Come Sirius, I believe it is time I gave you what you wanted."
"And what is that may I ask?" Sirius said staring blankly
"Revenge!" Severus said walking out the door and heading toward the girl's lavatory.
Severus slung open the door and walked in putting on his evilest glare. What he saw made him stop midstride. There was Moaning Myrtle chasing the two house elves, flying through their bodies while they screamed out. Remus had to chuckle as even to him Myrtle seemed to be a girl no one should mess with, ghost or not.
Sirius turned to Myrtle and asked nicely. "Myrtle, Do you mind if I have a few words with these two?"
"Go ahead, I am through talking to them."
Sirius turned to the two cowering elves and laughed. "I think you should get back to work and finish up in here before Dobby comes back."
Severus nodded his head from where he was standing. "Oh yes if the sinks suddenly come apart and a hole opens up in the floor, think nothing of it." he said nonchalantly.
"Oh, but if a hundred foot snake with huge fangs crawls out of the hole, you should really stick your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye." Sirius said trying to look as serious as possible.
The female elf fainted dead away at hearing this information, but what they did not see was Remus muttering under his breath. "Serpent sortia" and out of his wand came a rather large snake.
Severus muttered the curse that removed the fangs from the snake, but by the looks of it the house elves had no clue. The female elf was still out cold and the younger elf was trying to drag her out of the room, bumping her head repeatedly on the tile floor.
"We shall leave you now. Do enjoy your day, and by the way I think you will be needing this." Sirius said as Dudley began to scream he shoved the toilet brush into his mouth and all three walked out.
"You know they will try to tell the headmaster." Remus said as they stood in front of Severus' quarters.
"I think they will not reach him in time." Snape said pointing. All three turned to see a very irate Dobby brandishing the toilet brush as a weapon, chasing two little elves. Every couple of seconds they heard a squeal as Dobby cursed one or the other, and whacked them over the head with the brush.
Snickering Sirius turned to Severus "Thanks" he said and he and Remus walked away laughing themselves silly. Severus walked into his room and closed the door behind him. Once inside he fell onto the floor and burst out in giggles. Never had he seen such a sight and probably never would again.
