Lily was pacing back and forth impatiently waiting for her husband to get home. He had a end of the year staff meeting and it was 11:05 am and it was suppose to be over at 10:50 am and she was late for her appointment with the Dursley's and Arabella.

Four hours previously at 4 Privet drive.

"UP you lazy worthless lump!" Shrieked Petunia as she pounds her fist against the cupboard door.

"Yes, Aunt Petunia." Harry said quietly as he gets up and goes straight to the kitchen. He pulls the stool to stove to better reach it and gets started on tea and breakfast.

Just as he finished setting 3 sets of plates ladled with food he hears footsteps descending the stairs. He grabs 2 teacups and puts them on the table and went to the fridge and grabbed a sippy cup filled with juice out and set it on the table and quickly goes stand in the corner just as his uncle comes pounding in the room. Harry observed that his uncle was looking annoyed at something and gulps. He stares down at the floor as not to anger his Uncle. He wanted food as he hadn't ate in two days. If the last was to be called a meal, stale bread and a apple.

"Where is my newspaper boy?"

Harry panics, " Sorry Uncle Vernon, I forgot."

"He woke up late, Vernon." Petunia said coming into the kitchen with Dudley in her arms.

"WHAT?!" Bellowed Vernon, turning his beady eyes toward Harry. He waddles over and grabs him by his forearm as Harry winces in pain.

Vernon drags Harry up the stairs, picking up something off the table as they were walking past the hallway table, he opens the bathroom door and drags Harry inside. " I am tired of your laziness, you stupid freak, you are worthless, we took you in out of the kindness of our hearts, we have clothed you, fed you, kept this roof over your head.." Vernon pauses. "What did you say boy?

"It was nothing, sir." Harry responded as he trembled with fear.

"Spit it out freak!" Vernon said with a dangerous tone.

"I said, only after Dudley wears them." Harry said meekly.

"I have had enough of your insolence, your backtalk. You need to be taught a lesson in obedience!" Vernon said as he took out the thing he grabbed which Harry noticed was a roll of duct tape. He looks at the door and runs for the opening; he felt pudgy hands grabbing a hold of his neck, cutting off his air. Then he was slammed to the ground. As he was trying to get his bearings his uncle had put the tape on his mouth and was roughly wrapping it around his head. Tears sprang to Harry's eyes. He was shaking his head trying to tell his Uncle to stop.

Vernon ignored him and took off his belt. He wrapped the soft end around his hand with the metal side hanging down. Vernon gives a evil smile. "Lesson starts now boy." He raises his hand and brings it down hard lashing Harry. One stroke, two stroke, three stroke, Harry counts.

Then it stops. His Uncle was breathing hard because it was too much physical exercise. Harry see's his opportunity and tries to run again but Vernon was too quick for such a fat man and hits him in the ribs with his fist. "No you don't boy, you are not going anywhere."

Harry is in full panic mode. He tries to run again and his uncle grabs him and pushes him toward the floor. Harry sees the counter rushing toward him and then he knows no more.

Vernon looks down at his nephew in disgust. He kicks Harry twice. Once in the face then on his stomach. He picks up Harry none too gently and carries him back downstairs to his cupboard and throws him in there in a heap. "That's what you get brat… for existing."

"You are late, Severus Snape." Said Lily angrily. It was 11:30 am.

"I am sorry Lil, Albus had us a bit later than usual." He said defensively holding up his hand.

"No matter let's get going." Lily said getting nervous. "Are you ready?"

"Not really." Severus said with a straight face. He walked over to the fireplace. "Ladies first."

She walks over with determined steps and throws in the powder and steps in "Arabella Figg" she whooshes away in green flame with Severus moments after her.

"Hello child, I almost thought you got lost for a moment." Arabella said as Lily steps out of the fireplace.

"Sorry Arabella, my husband got held up at the school," she said, just as Severus steps out and gives his trademark glare at Arabella.

"Hello Severus dear. I would ask how everything is going over tea and cake but we a more important matter to attend to," said Arabella looking troubled. She gestures for them to follow her. They head to the front door and she opens it for them looking out at the immaculate house across the street. "There you go dears, good luck."

Severus and Lily leave Arabella's house to go across the street. They walk hand in hand, holding to each other tightly. Finally they reach their destination. They stare at the door for a few moments.

"Okay." Lily sighs. She raises her hand and knocks. She hears thudding footsteps going toward the door on the other side.

The door is flung open and Vernon Dursley was glaring at him his mustache bristling with fury. "What do you want? I am not buying!" Vernon said menacingly.

"I am here to check up on my son Vernon. Do you remember me? I am Lily Evans Snape former Potter," said Lily with venom.

Vernon pales significantly. "Harry? Uh. He isn't here right now. He is uh at a friend's." Vernon stammers.

Severus draws up to his full height and glares down at the short pudgy man and says dangerously "You lie Dursley, now where is he?"

Vernon cowers "I…I… don't know," he stammers out. Severus does a wandless leglimency on Vernon and sees a cupboard.

He smiles which was not the usual grimace that Lily has seen but a true smile that could freeze hell. "May we come in so we can better assist you in finding Harry?" he said ignoring Vernon stuttering "Great!" He pushes past Vernon and sees the cupboard and strides over to it. He notices there are many locks on the door. He starts to unlock them.

Vernon who gets his composure back said, "You can't go breaking into my things, now how about we go to the kitchen. Petunia should be back any minute from shopping, he might be with her, he loves to go shopping you know," he quickly rambles; trying to get them to follow him. Lily pulls out her wand and points it at Vernon just as Petunia walks in the front door "Vernon I am h… Lily! What are you doing here?" she asked frightened for she knew what her husband had done.

"Just here to check up on Harry, Sev, open that door please."

"Much obliged," he sneered. He finished unlocking the cupboard and he swings open the door. It was very dark inside and he notices a string for a lightbulb and pulls it down with a pop. What he sees cracked his hard exterior as he saw the sight before him.

Harry was lying on a broken down cot. There were blood stains all over it, with what looked like feces smeared on it, Harry was lying in a fetal position and he was shivering up a storm. Severus saw that he was under a blanket that had so many holes that, he wouldn't call it a blanket, more like a rag to clean with. Severus crosses over whilst pulling off his robe; he pulls off the urine smelling blanket and gasps in revulsion.

Harry was deplorably thin; he had bloody welt marks, some which look infected, where a belt had been used to slash into this poor boys body. "Oh Harry," He murmurs. He gently wraps the robe around the frail body and picks him up, light as a feather. He picks up Harry and turns him around and he sees more damage. His head had a long gash across it and it looked like Harry had lost a lot of blood. He wrapped Harry more securely; he turns around and steps out of the cupboard. With his free hand he takes out his wand and spells the cupboard shut for evidence against the Dursley's if he didn't get to them first.

He then turns toward the pale faced Dursley's with a deadly glare. "You people sicken me," he says quietly. "I could curse you so horribly right now, but…" he conjured a cage complete with a running wheel, "I will let the law decide." He transfigures both Vernon and Petunia into hamsters. One was significantly fatter than the other. They squeal with fright as Severus levitates them in to the cage and locks them up.

"We need to get Harry to Madam Pompfrey." He turned toward Lily who had tears falling down her cheeks. He pockets his wand and grabs her hand and leads her towards the door with Harry gently cradled on the other arm.

They hurry across the street toward Arabella's house, as they enter he hears Arabella exclaim, "Oh my dear God, Harry!"

"We are going to Hogwarts to the infirmary." He said tightly as he heads to the fireplace.

"I am coming with you." Arabella said quickly.

"Okay, let's go now!"

Again Lily and Severus went through the floo. Arabella Figg right behind and Harry held securely by Severus.

"Poppy!" Severus yelled.

The mediwitch comes bustling out of her office. "What is it dear? What is wrong?" she asked.

"It is Harry Potter, he is badly injured."

"Bring him over to this bed." Said Pompfrey getting into her business like mode. She points to the bed near her office.

Severus carries Harry over and gently lies him down.

He pulls his rob off Harry while Pompfrey takes out her wand and mutters a spell to take off his clothes, except for his underwear, which came in handy with the embarrassed teens.

Once the clothes disappear, Severus pales and Pompfrey starts bustling around the bed pushing Severus gently out of the way. "Stand over there, I have a lot of work ahead of me, if we want him to live." She said sounding disturbed by what she saw.

AN: Will be posting next Chapter ASAP. I know cliffhangers suck balls.
