A/N: aww I didn't think so many of you would care about my cold…it's better…ok not really…I mean I'm kinda hacking up lungs on my laptop…ok exaggerating but still…I am coughing a lot…I'll get over it though…they said that an apple a day keeps the doctor away….but they lied…an Apple, an orange, a banana, a bowl of grapes, a bowl of strawberries, pineapples, watermelon, and cantaloupes will keep the doctor away…sorry if this next chapter seems kinda crappy…I just finished taking a bubble bath so I'm like really tired now…next chapter:
Chapter 13
That night they had spaghetti for dinner, and Harry tucked in.
"Severus, I didn't know you liked to cook," Harry said, filling his plate with more of Severus's wonderful homemade cooking.
"I know. Surprising, given my reputation don't you think?" Severus asked with a small smirk on his face.
Harry would've smiled back, but he was too busy eating to even bother.
It made Severus even angrier at Harry's infamous relatives; the Dursleys had probably never given the boy a proper meal before.
"Slow down, Harry, you'll give yourself a stomachache if you keep eating like that,"
"Sorry, Severus, I'm just so hungry. I haven't eaten anything like this since…well…I don't think I've ever eaten this well," Harry said, but cringed when he saw Severus's lips go into a tight, angry-looking line.
Severus saw the fear in the boy's eyes, and he forced himself to calm down. "Harry, I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at those bloody relatives of yours," he said gently, and he saw a look of relief on Harry's face.
"Harry, I will never do what they did to you, do you understand? As long as you live with me, I won't starve you, beat you, or lock you in a damn cupboard," Severus said, gently, but firmly.
Harry nodded, "Thanks, Severus."
"Don't mention it, Harry."
A/N: I'm sorry guys but I'm, as they say, Dead on my Feet here. I'm off to bed…nighty-night.
