Chapter Two: Alcohol, Drugs, and…. Well not Rock N Roll

A/N: Hey guys thanks for the reviews! Oh and I'm grounded so the updates on all of my stories will be slow seeing how I have to wait until my Godparents leave for work to get on.

~Severus Addicted

Harry stumbled into the house at half past four, he didn't notice the time until it was four in the morning, the party was too much fun so he just kept partying. As Harry slowly and quietly made his way up the stairs to his bedroom he didn't notice the shadowed figure waiting for him on the couch until, "Mr. Potter, care to explain where you were all night?!"

Harry groaned and stopped short on the staircase, "Um, not really. Good night Professor." He then quickly ran to his bedroom where he quietly closed his door and used his desk chair to keep the door from opening. Harry then flopped on his bed and tried to fall asleep.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Severus glared as Harry ran up the stairs. He can't hide forever; he will just have to deal with this in the morning, right now he needed to get some sleep.

In the morning Severus awoke to the smell of bacon, eggs, and sausage cooking. He stood and got ready for the day then left his nose lead him to the kitchen.

When he entered the kitchen he came to a halt when he saw Harry up cooking breakfast. He looked at the clock then back to Harry who was trying to make coffee, flip eggs, and cook the sausage at the same time. The bacon wasn't anywhere to be seen but Severus could smell it.

Severus went over to the table and sat down, "Mr. Potter where are your aunt and uncle."

Harry flipped the sausage as he said, "They won't be up until eight-thirty, sir. Do you want coffee or orange juice?"

Severus looked at the clock again; it was seven-forty in the morning! "Mr. Potter why are you up so early?"

Harry ignored the question and said, "You didn't answer my question professor. What drink do you want, Orange juice or coffee?"

Severus sighed and said, "Coffee please. Now answer me, why are you up so early?"

"Why are you up so early?" Harry retorted.

Severus glared at him, "Mr. Potter just answer me!"

Harry sighed and took the sausages off the pan, "I'm making breakfast, sir."

Severus rolled his eyes, "Well I can see that, but why aren't your relatives making breakfast, you should still be asleep until at least eight o'clock. Do you cook all of the meals?"

Harry halted. How was he supposed to answer this question? Normal families wouldn't make their children…. Or nephews cook their meals everyday right? Of course not. "No I don't make all the meals, sometime my uncle makes the meals and sometimes my aunt makes the meals… Oh and if you have any sense in mind I wouldn't eat my aunt's pie, last person who ate it got food poisoning." Here Harry burst out laughing as he handed Severus the cup of coffee. "But if you absolutely want to, go ahead."

Severus glared at him but decided to let it slip, "So your cousin doesn't make any of the meals?"

Harry snorted as he put the pans in the sink, "Of course not, I want someplace to still live and I'm sure my aunt and uncle don't want to have to find a new house to live in because their last one was burnt to the ground."

Severus smirked and said, "I take it you and your cousin don't get along?"

Harry didn't know what to say to that so instead he said, "Fruit?"

Severus sighed and said, "Yes please. So care to tell me why you were out so late last night?"

Harry went to the fridge and poured milk into a cup of coffee for his uncle, "There was a party." Harry said as he poured the milk into the cup.

Severus rose his eyebrows and said, "So you decided to leave the house without permission and right after I told you not to move from where you are to go to a party?!"

Harry nodded his head and smiled, "Pretty much."

Severus glared at him, "How did you even get out of the house without me or your relatives catching you."

Here Harry full out grinned then he said, "Oh I have my ways, if you don't mind I need to get this meal done before eight-thirty."

Severus ignored his last part then he said, "Was there alcohol at the party?"

Harry narrowed his eyes at him and turned to put the eggs in the microwave to keep nice and warm, in the microwave was the missing bacon. "I don't see why that matters to you."

Severus stood and walked over to him, "It matters because I am here to watch over you, you are my responsibility and I will not allow you to drink!"

Harry huffed and stepped around him to put the other pans in the sink along with the skillet, "Why do you automatically assume I drank any?"

Severus shrugged, "Did you?"

Harry snorted, "I was offered many things last night, all of which I said no to because it wouldn't have been worth it if I came home drunk again!" Harry's eyes widened when he realized he said "again".

Severus saw red, "Again?! Harold James Potter you are only fourteen years old! You should not be drinking and getting drunk at your age!" He then quickly turned Harry to his side and gave him a dozen swats, "Do you understand me?!"

Harry quickly nodded, "Y-yes sir."

Severus nodded and took a step back, "Now later we will be dealing with the fact that you left the house without telling anyone, thus putting your life in danger! Oh and disobeying me."

Harry again nodded his head and mumbled an apology. "I'm sorry."

Severus gave a curt nod then said, "Oh trust me, you will be. Now finish washing the dishes. It is almost eight-thirty."

Five minutes later Vernon and Petunia came down the stairs and sat down at the table.

"Uncle Vernon." Harry started and when his uncle gave a nod he continued, "Um… Oh never mind."

Vernon nodded and began to eat his breakfast. Harry didn't know if he should stay or leave so Harry stood and went outside to check on the garden. As Harry was turning on the hose the backdoor opened and out stepped Severus.

He watched as Harry watered the flowers then bent down and touched a dead Lily.

"It's alright little Lily." He watched in amazement as Harry lightly stroked the petals and suddenly the Lily was alive again. Harry smiled and touched the other flowers that were dead.

Severus cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Potter you should come inside and eat your breakfast, it's the most important meal of the day."

Harry gave him a weird-ed out look then mumbled, "If you say so."

Severus nodded his head and led him into the kitchen. Harry sat down in the seat beside Severus and his uncle.

Suddenly Vernon leaned down and whispered in Harry's ear. "Boy you listen here and you listen well." Harry nodded his head so Vernon continued, "While he is here you will be eating every meal with us. Understood?!"

Harry nodded and whispered back, "Crystal."

Vernon raised his hand to slap him but stopped and instead glared and said, "Boy watch your cheek!"

Harry smirked and played with the food on his plate as he said, "I can't watch my cheek, wanna know why? Cuz I can't see it, it's on my face."

Vernon angrily threw down his fork and stood up, "Go to your room immediately!"

Harry quickly stood from the table and sprinted to his room followed by his uncle.

Severus shook his head and said, "That boy will never learn."

Petunia nodded her head worried about what Vernon would do, "I will be right back." She then quickly ran up the stairs. Suddenly a yell came to Severus' ear, "Vernon!"

Severus quickly stood and ran to the foot of the stairs but he immediately stopped when he saw Harry walking down the stairs, "Mr. Potter what did you do?"

Harry sighed and said, "I didn't do anything. I'll be back later, have to go pick up bread."

Severus quickly grabbed onto his shoulder and said, "I will come with you, stay here I will be right back." He then quickly ran up the stairs to see Vernon angrily pacing back and forth, seeing nothing was wrong he went back down the stairs and grabbed hold of Harry's shoulder and walked him to the door.

Harry smiled an innocent smile as they began their trip down the sidewalk, "I told you I didn't do anything."

Severus gave him a confused look as they rounded a corner, "Then why did your aunt yell your uncle's name like that?"

Harry shrugged and said, "Nothing you need to worry about."

Severus immediately shut his mouth but couldn't help but think, 'This family is very strange.'

Harry walked to a small building and walked in, the sound of bells ringing went off. Severus cautiously followed in.

Harry was stopped when a boy his age came up to him and smiled, "Last night was great, want to do it again tonight?"

Harry immediately looked at Severus who was pretending to look at food on a stand. Harry turned back to face his friend, "Sam you know I would say yes in a heart beat but I have a guest over, sorry."

Sam frowned, "Bring them with you."

Harry laughed, "Um, no how about some other time Sam?"

Sam sighed, "Fine, but you're missing out tonight, and it's a Skittle Party."

Harry smirked, "Oh really? You know I don't do that stuff Sam."

Sam nodded sadly, "I know, I know. You only drink."

Severus turned around to glare at Harry's back then he said, "He better not drink."

Sam and Harry exchanged wide eyed looks then Sam whispered, "Sorry man didn't know your old man was there."

Old man? He thought he was his father? Harry would have burst out laughing if it wasn't during these circumstances, "Um Sam he is not-"

Severus interrupted Harry and put his hand on his shoulder, "What is a Skittle party?"

Sam cracked a smile and tried not to laugh; Harry snorted and walked off to get bread.

Severus looked between the two boys and said, "I'm serious, what is a Skittle Party?"

Harry coughed and motioned for Sam to leave, "I'll see you later Sam."

Sam nodded but before he walked out of the store he said, "Oh and last night Carmon told me about" here he gave Harry a smirk.

Harry glared at him, "Shut up Sam, seriously I'm not interested in her, I thought I explained that to her! The only reason why I did what I did that one time was because I was head over heels drunk."

Sam laughed, "I know, that night was amazing. You were so funny!"

Harry glared at him, "Yes and because of that night I do not drink anymore." Here Harry looked at Severus then back to Sam and said, "Someone told me that I am fourteen and I shouldn't be drinking and getting drunk, and you know what? He has a point. Maybe you should think about that too Sammy, you're only fifteen. Don't waste away your life with drugs and alcohol."

Sam gave him a weird-ed out look then said, "Okay what happened to you Harry? Your quote on life always was, "Life sucks so we drink it away." Are you okay?"

Harry shrugged and said, "Well let's just say I'm not as bad as I was before." Harry smiled and looked at Sam, "But you have a point, that night was amazing. Especially when the cops came in and ruined the whole thing then we jumped out the window and ran for our lives." Sam and Harry burst out laughing at the memory, "And then you fell over your own feet! Wow, good times, good times."

Sam chuckled and nodded, "Yes that was amazing…. Until your uncle and my pa found out." Harry shuddered at the memory. "Hey! Did you hear Kevin was sent to Juvenile detention?"

Harry smiled, "No what did he do this time?"

Sam laughed and started explaining, "He was caught climbing on people's roofs drunk."

Harry laughed too and said, "Yes that does sound like Kevin."

Severus grabbed Harry's arm and said, "I do believe we should be getting back to your relatives' house."

Harry quickly said goodbye to his friend then went over and paid for the bread.

"Good morning Harry. How are you doing today? Staying out of trouble I hope." The old man smiled happily.

Harry smiled back and said, "I'm doing great Mr. Mowery. How about you?"

The old man sighed, "Well since the last time I saw you I became a Grandfather. But you will still be just like my Grandson Harry. You need to come visit me soon; you're not still grounded are you?"

Harry shook his head, "No, but I uh have been busy. You know my relatives Mathew."

Mathew nodded his head sadly then said, "Well come again soon Harry. And behave!"

Harry chuckled, "I'll definitely come again soon Mathew but the behaving part…. Well we will just have to wait and find out." This got a laugh out of Mathew.

As they were walking out Mathew called out in a serious tone, "Oh and Harry." Harry turned around to see a worried old man replace his happy friend Mathew, "Remember if you need me like you did that one time last year, call me. I will be there in a heart beat."

Harry smiled and ran to him to give him a hug, "Did I ever get to thank you for helping me last year?"

Mathew frowned and said, "No I believe your Uncle came and dragged you home before you had the chance to."

"Oh." Harry felt like he was going to cry but he held it in and whispered, "Thank you."

Mathew smiled down at him and kissed the top of his head, "Anytime child, anytime. Now I believe your friend here is waiting for you, go on now and please stay out of trouble." He gave Harry a pleading look that Severus didn't understand then left go of Harry and lightly pushed him toward Severus.

As they were walking down the street Severus turned to Harry and asked in a gentle voice, "What happened last year?"

Harry refused to look at him and ignored his question then suddenly he answered, "Nothing you need to worry yourself about, sir."

Severus sighed and pulled Harry to a stop, "Harry you can't tell me not to worry, I am worried. Please tell me what happened last year."

Harry was in shock; The Bat of the Dungeons was just polite to him and called him by his first name! Harry sighed then he whisper, "Last year I got hurt and no one was there to help me. Mathew was though, he saved me."

Severus had worry in his eyes as he asked, "Why were you hurt?"

'My uncle had beaten me to near death and Mathew saved me before I died. He is the only one who knows about my home life, the only one who cares.' But instead of saying that Harry said, "I fell on the ground and broke my ankle, he bandaged it up for me."

Severus nodded even though he knew that wasn't the real answer. "I don't want you hanging out with people like Sam, Mr. Potter."

Harry gave him an outraged look then said angrily, "And you have a say in who I hang out with why?"

Severus narrowed his eyes at him and said, "Because you are my responsibility for the summer and if you are my responsibility you will bide by my rules! My rules and my consequences!"

Harry rolled his eyes at him and started walking again, "Who died and made you king?"

Severus' eyes flared in anger as he charged after Harry. "Professor Dumbledore is not dead I can assure you that. Now back to your choice of friends, Sam and Kevin? Do their parents know about their habits?"

Harry narrowed his eyes as he walked, "Sam's mother died when she gave birth to him, his father knows about the drinking now since the cops dropped us off at his front porch the one night." Here Harry laughed, "And Kevin is a spoiled rich kid whose parents never pay attention to him so no they don't know about it, I take it they do now though seeing how he is in Juvenile Detention. He always was the sloppy one."

Severus sighed, "Harry I'm telling you, stop hanging out with these people they are not good people to hang around."

"You don't know them! Don't judge them; you don't know what they have gone through. You don't understand!" Harry yelled frantically as he kept walking. People peeked out their windows to see what was going on.

Severus finally caught up to him and grabbed his shoulder. He forced Harry to stay still as he whispered in his ear, "You're correct I do not know them, but I know enough to know they are bad people to hang around. You will not be going to another party with them again."

Harry pushed himself away from his professor with all his might then quickly walked away as he walked he yelled back, "You can't tell me what to do! You are NOT my father!"

Severus felt like his heart had just been stabbed but he didn't understand why. "Harold James you come back here this instant!"

Harry flipped him off as he entered the house. Severus sighed in frustration as he followed him in.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

When Harry entered the house he immediately went to the kitchen for a cup of water. He noticed a piece of paper on the table as he entered the kitchen. It was a note from his Aunt.

Dear Harry and Mr. Snape,

We have gone out to Dinner with Dudley and his friends' family. We will be back around ten tonight. Harry make sure you make lunch and supper for Mr. Snape, do not burn down the house. A list of chores is on your bed Harry make sure you get them all done before we get home if you know what is good for you. Behave!

Mr. Snape please do not be scared to punish him if he goes out of line, relax and enjoy the day.

Aunt Petunia

Harry sighed as he heard the front door open telling him Snape was back too. "We have a letter!" Harry called out as he put his glass in the sink.

When Severus entered the kitchen he narrowed his eyes at the boy and said, "Your backside and my hand will be having a nice discussion soon Mr. Potter!" He then looked at the note and quickly read it. "I'd go start your chores."

Harry grumbled and went upstairs to see what chores he had to do today.

Harry quickly read over the list:

Mow the lawn

Do the dishes

Sweep the living room

Dust

Take care of the garden

Harry sighed and stuffed the list in his pants pocket. Then without taking another glance at Severus he went outside and started the lawn mower.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Severus watched out the window as Harry mowed the lawn. There was something wrong with this family that he didn't understand. They were so…. Weird at times. It seems as if Harry is sometimes scared to do things and always has to ask for permission, it just didn't seem right.

Harry was obviously not the spoiled king he always thought he was, but he did have a hell of an attitude!

An hour later Severus stepped outback to check on Harry. He found the boy on his hands and knees pulling weeds from the garden. "Mr. Potter lunch is ready, come and eat."

Harry sighed and threw the gloves off his hands and stood and wiped himself off, after that was done he slowly followed his professor into the house.

When he entered the house a scent of hamburgers and Mac n cheese met his nose. Harry smiled and looked at his professor who was already seated and serving himself some food, "It smells wonderful, Professor. Thank you for making lunch."

Severus only nodded and pointed to the seat across from him, "Have a seat Mr. Potter, I expect you to eat a healthy fill of food. None of this getting up and leaving thee bites in."

Harry nodded his head and slowly sat down in the seat indicated.

Lunch was silent until Severus noticed Harry was having a hard time eating the rest of his meal. "Mr. Potter are you ill?"

Harry shook his head, "No sir."

Severus raised his eyebrows and said, "Then why are you having a hard time finishing eating a plate of Mac n cheese? Care to explain, Mr. Potter?"

Harry gulped and refused to look at him, "Nothing is wrong professor, I just had a big snack earlier today after breakfast."

Severus gave him a curious look then said, "I don't recall you getting a big snack between meals. Mr. Potter if you are lying to me you will regret it horribly."

Harry shook his head, "I'm not lying professor. I swear!"

Severus stood as he heard Harry's tone get louder. "Mr. Potter if you are not lying then why may I ask are you panicking and not eating?"

Harry looked away from the towering man and muttered, "Because you make me panic when you don't believe me, and like I said I'm not hungry! God, why don't you understand something as simple as that?!" Harry stood also but Severus was still at least three heads taller then the fourteen year old.

"Mr. Potter I am warning you. You already are in trouble so do not push it!" Severus said angrily.

Harry glared at him and pulled out his list, "I have to finish my chores before my relatives get home, so if you would excuse me?"

Severus glared right back and said, "No, you will not be excused until you finish that plate young man!"

Harry huffed and flopped back on the seat. "Are you going to explain why I did not finish my chores when they told me?"

Severus nodded his head, "Yes I will explain to them. Now eat!"

Harry glared at his plate and ate a few more bites before he complained again, "I don't want to finish my meal, and I am full! If I keep eating I will throw up!"

Severus remained calm as he said, "You are acting like a child so I will treat you like one. Go into the living room and stand in a corner."

Harry shook his head and picked up his fork, "Fine I will eat."

Severus smirked and said, "Good boy."

Harry gave him a death glare and said, "Why do you care anyway?"

Severus sighed, "Have we not gone through this many times this morning?"

Harry nodded, "Yes but it doesn't make sense. Why would Dumbledore send you when he knows you hate me?"

Severus shook his head in denial, "No Mr. Potter I do not hate you, I simply do not like the fact that you get away with everything."

Harry snorted, "Well obviously you have realized I get away with nothing here, so you can stop assuming things you know nothing about."

What's up with everyone telling him to not assume things lately? First Albus and now Harry?! Severus sighed, "Yes obviously you don't away with murder here. Hell you didn't even get away with sneaking out of your room yesterday."

Harry glared at the floor, "I have to remember that stupid loose floorboard, always gets me caught!"

Severus smirked, "Yes well I am sorry for my assuming things that I know nothing about. But let me ask you one thing, how did you uncle react when he found you drunk?"

Harry paled and said, "I don't see how that is your business, Professor."

Severus bowed his head apologetically then said, "You don't have to answer me Mr. Potter, it was just a question."

Harry nodded back but his color was still drained from his face.

Severus decided it was time to change the subject, "So will you explain to me what a Skittle Party is?"

Harry smiled and the color slowly began to come back, "You seriously don't know?" at Severus' shake of his head Harry cracked a chuckle. He then coughed and said, "A Skittle Party is where you bring a colorful pill and put it in a bowl, which is how you can get in instead of paying. Then later during the party the host passes around the bowl and everyone has to pick a colorful pill to take and you have to take it. I don't know why he invited me to the party because he knows I don't mess around with drugs."

After Harry was done explaining Severus' mouth was open in shock, then he asked, "How do you know what a Skittle Party is?"

Harry swallowed and said, "Sam told me."

Severus gave him the famous Snape glare and said, "I bet. Tell the truth."

Harry sighed, "I went once, but I didn't have fun at all and it wasn't technically my choice in the matter either. Kevin dragged me there. And to tell the truth I didn't really enjoy being forced to eat a pill that I had no idea what it was, I haven't gone since."

Severus narrowed his eyes, "Why didn't you have a choice? You always have a choice Harold!"

Harry sighed, "Not technically all the time. I didn't have a choice because I had no other friends and if I hadn't gone they would have dumped me but once I went and they realized how much fun I didn't have they allowed me to not go back."

Severus sighed, "You surely know how to pick the good ones don't you Mr. Potter?" Severus asked sarcastically but seeing Harry get mad he quickly asked, "What pill were you forced to take?"

Harry laughed and said, "A sleeping pill. I woke up the next day in Sam's front lawn; he wouldn't drop it for months."

Severus shook his head, "So you refuse to go to the parties now?" at Harry's nod Severus continued, "Good boy, again I am going to say this; I don't want you hanging out with those boys."

Harry glared at him and said, "Again I am going to say this, you are not my father, I don't have to listen to you! You can not choose who I hang out with!"

Severus stood and leaned over the boy, "I can and I will, now go finish your chores."

Harry huffed in annoyance then stomped off to go finish his chores.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Harry slammed the door closed behind him and went to get a glass of water to drink. He didn't notice the figure seated at the table drinking coffee as he filled his cup with water.

Once he drank most of the cup Harry went to the medicine cabinet and took out a bandage. Harry hissed in pain as he cleaned the wound out, then he ever so lightly placed the bandage over the wound. "Damn hoe."

Severus raised his eyes but then immediately remembered Harry was working in the garden, so it obviously wasn't the title he was thinking about. He quickly stood and walked over to the child who was now getting another cup of cold water.

"Mr. Potter what happened to your hand?" Severus asked as he gently took the cup out of the child's hand and filled it for him.

"I was getting all the weeds out of the garden and forgot the hoe was lying beside me and well I leaned back on my hands and the hoe cut me." Harry looked at his bandaged hand then started to make his way back outside.

Harry was however stopped short when Severus said, "No how about you stay in for the rest of the night? I will go outside and use my wand to do the rest of the garden."

Harry sighed in relief, "Thank you!"

Severus nodded, "Go get some rest."
