-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Alice awoke early as usual; she went to Severus's room to find him not there. She entered the kitchen to see he wasn't there ether. She then went to the library to see him in her grandmother's rocking chair. 'Ah he looks so peaceful.' Alice thought. She left but only for a moment, she ran to the closet to get a blanket. When she came back to the library she carefully put the blanket over Severus and tucked him in. When she had him rapped up nice she stepped back to look at him.

He looked very peaceful, relaxed, she soundly felt the urge to crawl in his lap, to be with him and his peacefulness. But instead she desisted to leave and don't disturber him.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Severus awaock only seconds after Alice had left. He noitesed the blanket that was carfully tucked underneth him, and felt gradtuded twords his little misters. He closed his eyes trying to fall back to sleep.After a moment of trying he gave up. He folded the blanket and carefully placed it on the chair. He then desited to see if he could be any use to his misters.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alice who whoud naormaly be in the library was in her room, re-reading one of her books when she herd Severus calling her.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Misterese, misteres where are you?" Severus called to her. "I'm right here Severus. What do you need?" Alice asked appring in her doorway. "I don't require anything misters, I come to see if you do." Severus said. "Well thats nice, but I don't need annything right now, but I'll make breafast soon."Alice said. "Do you want any help?" Severus asked. "I'd love some, come on wi'll mack breackfast right now." Alice said. " Yes misteres." Severus said fowing Alice in to the kinchen.

Together they made pancaks, eggs and sugages.They were half way throw there meal when Severus spoke "Misters, I want to thank you for the blankte." He said. "Hey no problem I was happy to do it." Alice said. "You are very kind to me misters, just like your uncle." Severus said. "Thank you. But do you know why he was disowned by the rest of the faimly?" Alice asked.

"No misters I do not." Severus said. "How did he die?" Alice asked. "He got old misters, these things happen." Severus said quitey partly to himself. "I'm sorry for your lost. Your the one suffering his daeth." Alice said. "Thank you misters, thats very kind of you misters." Severus said not looking at ther.

"We'll I got to go, or I'll be late to school." Alice said. "Why do you go to school if theres nobody to make you?" Severus asked."In a way kina of do, I'm still regerstered to the school I go to, and I can't unregeaster myself. So if I don't go they'll susipices and send someone to find me. And they just might just find me. And that whould be bad for the both us if they found us. I'd go to a orphanig and I don't now what whould happen to you. Nothing good I'll bet. Besides I whoun't know what to do if myself if Isoundy stopped going to school. Now I have to go you can do what ever you want, even go out side. Be good I'll be back as soon as I can." Alice said as she was walking out the door.

"Yes misters." Severus to him self with a silght smile. 'She's treating me like I'm the child.' Severus thought. He tock the dishes and washed them and put them away. He then went to exspoller the rest of the house. He whent down the hall and opened the door acorst from his own. A rush of cold air blew on him, he looked in side and could beraly see anything. He setped in and tuerned on the lights. The one light blub was blinking and strugiling to stay on. Severus looked around all the furiture was a very dark black. The bedstands, the dresher, even the shets on the bed was black, there was a red tappserty with jewls swen into it hanging from the wall, it was(Thou he'd never willing admight it.) creeping him out. He quickly lrft the room, and opened the door opiste to his misters.

He looking in side, it was much nicer that the fist one. It was open and airy, certains darwn open, letting light and warth in. It was decarated with cream colored furiture and silver nick-nacks and veriues obejcts. He walked in therther to look at the strange ordamits that alinded the walls. His eyes was fixed to a starnge glitering object, it was small, flat with riged sides and silver it was tiny in had tiny daimonds inbeded into it.

He remover it from its glass case.He lided it in his open hand and carfully examined it. He colden't think of what it could be, or what it could be used for. He was putting it back into it's case when it cut him, he dropped th glass lid. His hand was cut open and there was brocken glass on the floor. What was he going to do? He pulled out his wand and hoped that nothing bad whould happen. After all his misters did say he could do anything he wanted. He gave his wand a flick and pioned it at the glass it it repaired itself.

He carfully placed the glass on the night stand by the bed and when to was his hands and the ordameant. He tock the ordamint with him to the bath room, fisr he washed the ordamint and then his hands. He exsamined the ordamint then his hands, both were to his stasfactey. He went back the room, put the ordamint back and left the room. He disted to be more carfull for now on, whill in the house. He countioned to walk down the hall intell enter he come to the living room. It was Huge and smeed very empty from the compleat lack people and little furiture in it.

In the middle of the room was a coffe table, srounding it were sofas and armchairs and behind them in the coners were two black rocking chairs, lining the walls were over stuffed bookcases. Severus sat down in the lether amirchair and sank into it. He tock a blankte from a choch covered himself with it and fell asleep.

A cool male voice laghed at his strugle to get free. "You deseve to be scared, to fell week, to have no dignaty. You don't deserve to be free or to be happy. Not after what you did to that poor girl." He said. And from out of the shaows steped out a man.

Adam said coming closer to Severus, he placed his hand on his stomic. Severus wippered "Why did you do it Severus, why did you hurt that girl? No body made you. Why Severus why did you do it?" Adam demanded putting some presher on Severu's stomic.

"What did I do Adam?" Severus asked sobbing, he couldn't understand why his father- figer was doing this. "You know what you did, I'm asking why. Why did you tack that young girl to your room, why did you take her inasince Severus ? Why did you do it!? Tell me why!" Adam demanded from him pushing harder on his stomic.

Severus was in shock, he whould never do anything like that amd Adam was starting to hurt him. "I never did any of that Adam I swear I never did. Pleases belive me." Severus pleaded. Adam tock his hand off Severu's stomic and hit him. He grabed his face "Don't ever lie to me Severus. I saw you, you had her shachled to the bed just as I have you now. She beeged and you only laghed.

You don't desever human kindness but you don't desever to die and be free either." Adam said, he get go of Severus's face. He exsamined Severus body with his eyes. He smiled at him and laghed as he saw the fear that was shinging in his former slaves eyes. "For a sub- human your not half bad looking. Someone might go as far as two call you lovely." Adam said putting his hand on his stomic a little lower this time. Severus closed his eyes and started to cry and sobb. "Thats right, cry be week, be helpless, I presally blain myself for how you turned out Severus I clearly spioled you to much." Adam said letting his hand slip aliitle therether down. Severus let out another sobb and Adam chuckled.
