Chapter two: Freak

A/N I do not own harry potter nor do I get paid to write this also I am adopting this story from Severus Addicted with their permission so the first 12 chapters are from Severus Addicted.

Severus felt a cool breeze on his skin as he let go of Eli.

They looked around to check out what their new house was like. The house was a medium two story building. The building was white with black frames around the windows. Other than that, there wasn't much about the house except that it had a wonderful feeling of protection and a warm feeling that made you feel right at home.

Severus gave Eli a smile as he looked around, "So do you like it?"

Eli smiled at his father then said, "Yeah it's cool, but why did we have to move here again father?"

Severus sighed; he had a hard time getting Eli to agree to move. "Eli I told you once already, we had to move here because Albus needed a favor from me."

Eli sighed and nudged the ground with his foot, obviously not happy to be here. "But I don't want to live here, I wanna go home."

It was Severus' turn to sigh, "Well we are home now, I'm sure you'll make plenty of friends." When Eli made no move to say anything Severus said, "Alright let's go in and check out the rest of the house."

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Cracks of light started to flutter through the little cupboard Freak was in and he knew it was time to get up and make the rest of his family's breakfast before he got into trouble for being a minute late like he was yesterday.

Someone started pounding on his cupboard door, "Get up Freak before I get Vernon!" Petunia's shrill voice came to his ears as he sat up.

"Coming Ma'am." Freak said as he crawled out of his cupboard only to be smacked down against the ground by his whale of a cousin. Harry felt something crack as his cousin began jumping up and down on his back. Dudley broke something.

Freak tried to hold in the cry of agony but a small yelp came out, at the same time his uncle came around the corner. Before he could even cover the tiny yelp up with a cough, Vernon was on him.

If he thought what Dudley did to him a few seconds ago was bad then this was hell. Vernon pushed him up against the wall and started slamming his head onto it, blood started to drizzle down his forehead as he fell into unconsciousness.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Eli looked out the window at the house next door, it was so quiet in this neighborhood. The freaky thing about this place though would have to be that everyone acts the same. It's like they're afraid to be different.

"Hey dad, can we go for a walk to see the town?" Eli asked his father as he ate his breakfast.

Severus looked up from the Daily Prophet after he took a sip from his coffee he said, "Yeah, I wanted to see what this place looked like anyway."

So after they were done eating they headed out for their site seeing (well if there was anything to look at anyway).

As they passed Number Four Private Drive Severus noticed a small child that could pass as a five year old, he was so small and skinny.

'That can't be Lily's son. No, it's got to be a mistake.' Severus thought to himself as they continued down the road.

But as he glanced back at the small child he caught sight of bright emerald eyes and he could no longer deny he was Lily's.

The town wasn't much to look at, it was just a boring small town with a playground (which is run down and it looks like no one has been there for ten years) and a small grocery store.

The Snape family headed back home for the rest of the day to finish unpacking

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Freak sighed as he finished pulling the weeds out of his aunt's garden. Now he only had to: mop the kitchen, dust, run the sweeper, do the laundry, clean Dudley's room, wax the kitchen floor, do the dishes, make supper, clean up supper, then go grocery shopping all before his uncle came home from work.

Freak remembered his aunt told him that if he finished all his work before his uncle got home he could go to the playground so he quickly ran to the kitchen to start moping the floors.

Moping took almost a half an hour to finish so as soon as he finished moping he ran the sweeper then dusted the whole house, did the dishes, switched the laundry, cleaned Dudley's room, by then the Kitchen floor was dry so he quickly got on his hands and knees to start the hard and dirty job of waxing the floor.

Waxing the floor took about two hours to do so he quickly grabbed the grocery list and limped out the door.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Severus sighed as he realised he didn't pack any of the food from their old house.

"Eli!" Severus called up the stairs for his son.

A few seconds later quick footsteps could be heard coming down the stairs then, "Yeah dad?"

"I'm heading out to get groceries, can I leave you here or should I take you with me?" Severus asked Eli

Eli nodded his head and said, "Yeah of course."

Severus rose his eye brows at his son and said, "I don't know if I can trust you all alone. Knowing you, you'll catch the house on fire."

Eli's mouth dropped open, "That's mean!" That of course just made Severus start to laugh, "Hey! It's not funny. I only caught the drapes on fire nothing else."

Severus smirked, "Yes because I was there to quickly put the fire out."

Eli sighed melodramatically. "Dad!"

Severus sighed, "Fine, fine. But while I am gone you will keep the door locked, you will not open the door to anyone or answer the phone, oh and you will stay out of the kitchen. Understand?"

Eli nodded, "But what if I get hungry?"

"Then you can wait until I get home, it will only take me a half an hour if that to get what I need you can wait that long can't you?" Severus asked.

Eli nodded slowly. "Yeah I guess."

"Alright then I am leaving, remember the rules!" Severus called out behind him as he locked and closed the door.

Eli smirked as the door clicked shut, oh this will be fun.
