Nothing is mine. I only write a fanfic. Nothing more. Harry Potter belongs to J.K Rowling not me.

Chapter 3

The dinning room of the house was so big and has to many staff to clean. Dobby has asked him to clean the floor because he knew that having him busy and far of the master the kid will be safe.

To the boy was fun to clean and play with the water. He made bubble with the soap that flow by his little fingers every time he can do it. Whenever he can and especially when nobody was close to see him he play with everything he has al his hands. .

Once a time he took one of the brooms that were in a cupboard. He gets terrible scared when one of the brooms started to fly. Dobby just makes him get down to the floor before master knows that. But since that day the child feels so attracted to the flying brooms and every time he can he take a little ride.

That was before master Draco catches him playing with those brooms of his father. At that time he was in so much trouble. His little fun ends so badly when master Lucius punished him. He doesn't hit him instead he uses his wand for made the kid to regret for his actions.

Master was so mean with him, the kid thought getting himself down the huge of the dinning room. He takes his little bucket with him to finish cleaning the floor. Master was so bad to him because everytime he has him near always look for a way to make the kid feels miserable.

His life was miserable without any master help. But the little kid always try to pass the days in the best way he can. In his birthdays Dobby always think a way to give him some kind of present and maybe some kind of candy. His 8th birthday will come very soon.

The kid was thinking about that when he hears footsteps reaching the dinning room. He try to escape as fast as he could but it was to late.

The door open and master enter with a friend at his side. Both of them had dark robes and he can recognize master by his long blond hair. His friend have olive skin and hair as dark as night. Both of them sit at the table very near the place under the table where he was hiding himself. He just have time to fold his legs before them hit the legs of his master's friend.

- It's always a pleasure having you in this house Severus. Long time ago I don't have the pleasure of your visit.-

I was such of busy, Lucius. Attending some business, traveling for some important business.- his friend answer.

- I can imagine that. With that useless Dumbledore at the head, you must have so much extra work. That old mud blood lover, I can't understand why is he at the head of that great school.

- Draco will go to Hogwarts just like his father I assume. It will be a lame to lose a member of an important family-

- What are you saying Severus, for generations every Malfoy had assist a Hogwarts. And a useless moron like Dumbledore is not an obstacle for cut the tradition.

Meanwhile master was talking Dobby had leave the kitchen and took the dishes to and he was giving them the dinner. But he was near to let the dishes fall down to the floor when he felt a pull in his clothes. His big eyes open to huge when he saw the little kid trapped and without any escape between the masters legs.

Dobby felt like he will felt down to the floor because the impression. But he must stay calm. He can't alert the master about who was seeing him curiously. Without a word Dobby went to the kitchen to ask to heaven that the kid was not discovered.

Up there on the table the food smells good. The kid remembers that he hasn't eaten anything since the day before because of master's orders. Now his stomach was hurting so bad. Up on the table the forks and glasses, the fonts and dishes started to sound.

Down the table the kid was worried about how to get out of that place. And to make it worse the masters move to much his legs. Any moment they will kick him. It would be terrible if they seem he. Master will beat him to death because he said the little pest is fordiben to appear in front of visitors.

Now he was in serious trouble. That seems that it was not his day. One of the forks fall down the table to close to his body. He only want to disappear in that moment, he want it badly. He just closes his eyes and wish with all his will to disappear.

Master Malfoy gets down the table to reach the fork but he was not paying attention. He just returns to his position in a moment. But even when he was not paying attention he can noticed that a bucket was down the table. Later he will get rid with the one who has the responsibility about that. Now he has to attend to his visitor.

The little kid breathes softly and involuntary he kick lightly master Severus. Surprised he take a curiously look down the table to see what had kick him. When he lift the table cloth he found green eyes that seem familiar and a childish face that seems him terrified.

At first he can't believe his eyes, but then he realized that the little kid was telling him in signals to be quiet.

Severus wasn´t sure of what to do then. But he decided to stay in silence and not to tell anything to his companion who was having a hard time with his meat over his dish.

- Is something wrong with the food Severus?-

- No, anything Lucius, everything is delicious, really.-

- I'm glad that you like it.- and he continue his war with the meat over his dish.

But Severus started to have a hard time dealing with the curiosity. He wanted to take another look under the table and see the kid who was hiding there.

Surely he wasn't Draco because he was wearing old clothes. Also Draco was blond as the rest of his family and this boy with dirty face has the hair as dark as is own. He must be a servant of the house. So then Lucius has a mud blood servant. He must be mud blood because if he was pure blood he will not be serving in the house of somebody like the Malfoy´s.

Who was this boy that looks so familiar? That question reach his mind meanwhile Malfoy continue with his talk about his latest travels. That little kid must be as young as Draco. But what was he doing down the table. Every time he went to visit Lucius he never ever see him around.

That seems that the Malfoy house was full of secrets.

But the hate that the Malfoys have to the mud bloods was not a secret. The life of the poor kid must be a living hell. As he know Lucius he could have killed the parents and saving the child to kill him in some session with the other death eaters. Poor child, Severus thought, he doesn't deserved something like that.

Carefully he took another look down the table and he just crash with those disturbing green eyes. Those eyes had something, seem so familiar, the same expression, the same sweetness. He can't stand it anymore and took a little bit of meat and get his hand down the table. At first he didn't get any answer of the boy. He had to take another look down the table and make him a signal to make the boy accepted the food.

Then he feel that incredible softly lips rose his fingers. He just feel like his cheeks flush in read with the rest of his face.

Are you feel alright?- Lucius give him a curiosly look.

I´m fine. It´s just this… er… meat is so.. soft. – answered clearing his throat.

- At last your meat, cause mine is as hard as the skin of a troll.-

Another time Severus repeat the operation and another time those lips reach the piece of meat. Now he can feel that his senses start to blur entirely. He repeat this twice and he feel like he can't continue.

Lucius… you tell me about a new poison that you get?-

Yes, I get it in the store that I tell you. Remember? If you want you can take a look of it. It's so powerful. A simple drop is enough to finish with a hipogrif. -

That sounds good Lucius. I will like to give it a look. I'm sure that if is made with madragora I can get a cure.-

Lucius laughs a little. – I will like to see that, my friend. But I think that you can't do that this time. That poison is so well done that it's impossible to find a cure. Wait here I will take it.- feeling glad because of Severus words, Lucius get out the dinning room to reach for his new toy.

Severus can't stand it anymore and get down the table at the moment that Lucius disappear. He expose himself to the look of those bright green eyes and he stay still enchanted when he saw those pink lips wet by the sauce are cleaning by a little pink tongue.

The little kid din´t know how to do. If went out of the dinning room or wait to permition to leave. Severus look him enchanted, without help. The kid babbling some sort of thank you and set himself to go out. He took the bucket with his little dirty hands. That was why he hasn't take the food with his hands. When the kid was of the table Severus can see that he was a little, very small kid, so thin and lost inside a dark robe cover with dust. Bright eyes that twinkle in his childish and thin face, curly and messy raven hair and a strange sort of scar in his head that was covered by his dark locks.

Wait.- Severus stopped him. – You seem so hungry. You want a little more?-

The little kid didn't answer, just move his head. He must disappear if not master Malfoy will turn his bones to dust with his cane, if he sees him in there.

Wait- Snape stopped him again taking him by his so thin arm this time. He feel like if he squeeze it a little it will broke in two pieces.

What happen to you, why you have that scar on your face? – he said trying to remove those locks that hide the strange bruise.

The kid backward terrorized. Now he was in big trouble. If master know that he was seen, there will anybody to save him to the master rage. Maybe this master will be good to him. He must be good because he give him some food.

Master…- he whispers. Maybe he must stay in silence and don't let the things get worse. But maybe he can try it, only for one time to tell this person not to tell anything to master Malfoy. Maybe he can ask him to forget about his existence. -I…- said the kid.

He can´t do that, he will only turn everything worse.

-What´s your name.- Snape asked trying to see again that strange scar that he had in his forehead.

The kid seems to panic. Mi name.. he thought… he want to know my name…For what he want it? Then the child move his head saying no.

- Don't you hear me? What's your name?.- he asked again. A name, only a name was enough for him, a name.

PEST!- a sound as cold as an iceberg sounds in the dinning room.

Now he was really in trouble….

The kid started to tremble for head to feet. Lucius reach the kid. He has his wand in the hand and now he will hurt the kid badly. The master seems so angry and he will kill him surely.

When he was in front of the kid he slip so hard that he send him to the floor next to Severus´s feet. The bucket with water that he was grabbing falls down watering their robes.

Snape was paralyzed to see the little kid rolling over the floor by the kicks that Lucius was sending to him. The he saw him taking his wand and send the kid to the wall. This was to much for the little boy.

Lucius, please, It´s enough- Snape try to stop him cause he will kill the baby kid.

No, in a moment it will be enough.- Lucius was crazy in anger. He point the kid with the wand…- Crucio.-

Snape can't trust his eyes. So Lucius hate that badly that little kid. The poor boy scream in pain twisting convulsive. In a moment he was crying trying to cover himself with something but he can't escape the master. He had him trapped.

Not happy for hurt the child in that way, Lucius was planning to give him another try of that curse. He prepare to repeat it when a strong hand stop him,

That is enough. Lucius, let him alone.

-Severus…
