Harry Potters secret pet (discontinued)

~The Fight~

Mcgonagall POV
I was watching over Harry along with Molly. We were discussing where Harry would stay since the Dursley's were not a proper place for him when we noticed Harry beginning to shift.

We immediately silenced. After a few moments it seemed as if he noticed something. He brought his hand up to stroke Asclepius after realizing she was there. After a few moments his eyes opened so they could see his emerald eyes but not as filled with life as they usually were. His he sat up in the bed and began to move his hands towards the bedside table. Once he located his glasses he set them on his face.

After he had done that it realized as if he noticed something important. He immediately began twisting his torso and arms. Asclepius still layed asleep in his lap. It seemed as if Harry was oblivious to the fact that we were in the room. Harry lifted his shirt and was surprised to see that most of the bruises were faded and his bones felt better than before. His eyes widened once more and he looked down at his snake and slowly began to prod at her. Eventually his snake woke up and they began having a small conversation. I eventually coughed so he was aware that we were in the room.

Harry POV
Eventually she opened her eyes "hello Harry are you feeling better"

Harry disregarded her question but hissed back "they found out about everything didn't they"

Asclepius flicked her tongue out than said, "they have and they are planning on getting you out of there I'm glad really and you should be too"

Harry let out a giggle but said "I am trust me I'm just not looking forward to we'll talking about it per say opening up is always the worse part."

"I agree but If I were you I'd open up they'll know how to help you I desperately wish I could just tell them for you so you could avoid all that stress" a cough brought them out of their conversation. Harry looked up and noticed professor Mcgonagall and Mrs. Weasley sitting beside his bed. He wondered how he possibly could have missed them "how long have you two been there?"

"We've been here the whole time but nonetheless how are you feeling"

"how could I have missed you two but anyways I'm feeling fine thank you"

"I didn't mean physically Harry I could see how you were physically feeling based on the way you reacted to your healing" Harry raised an eyebrow then closed his eyes and turned as tears threaten to spill he didn't want to have this conversation now he just woke up. He wondered if he acted like he didn't hear them if they would just change the subject "I'll just take that as a bad sign, everyone else is downstairs and just so you know you'll never be going back to the Dursley's again but is there anyone you wish to speak to" Harry turned his head back to her. He didn't want his friends to see him in this state. His godfather would probably talk about murdering the Dursley's the whole time. He needed to talk to someone who understood what he's been though.

He searched through his mind for any memories when he recalled that snape helped a lot of kids in slytherin who were abused maybe he was abused as a child. Even though snape loathed him completely maybe he'd be good to talk to "could I talk to professor snape" at his words both of their eyes widened and their jaws dropped "you don't want to talk to your friends" Harry dropped his head so he was staring at the floor and he mumbled "I don't want them to see me like this" they nodded. Both of them stood after assuring him that they'd send snape upstairs in a moment.

He also was desperate to find out why snape seemed to hate him so much, he knew to some extent but he didn't even know him. We're both so similar and we could probably be dare I say it friends. I also wanted some advice but I couldn't get it from anyone I had to get it from people who had experience with this type of stuff. I was pulled out of my thoughts by the door opening once more and snape stepping through the door with no color left in his face.

Snape POV
Minerva and Molly walked through grimmauld place towards the dinning room. When they entered everyone turned their direction wondering if Harry had woken up. "Harry has woken up but-" she was cut off as Sirius began running to make his way towards the door so he could talk to his grandson. With a flick of Minervas wand Sirius levitated into the air and Sirius began pouting. "As I was saying before I was interrupted, Harry doesn't feel comfortable seeing many people but he did choose someone he wants to talk to first which dare I say surprised us we never though he would dare choose him" who could Harry possibly choose that surprised them "he chose Severus" now that surprised me more than I ever thought it would. at once everyone's eyes widened and they stared at me even I was dumbfounded

"why would he want to talk to me" "I have no idea he probably wants to talk to someone who's been in a similar situation" I raised my eyebrows at this

"but I come from an abusive household too how come he doesn't want to talk to me," Sirius pouted.

"Probably because he didn't want to hear you ramble about how your going to murder them because I know I'm tired of it " I started and people began to snicker . Sirius flushed and pouted . I began making my way to the door when Albus called at me "try to see if you can know how severe the abuse was so we can help him heal if not we'll try to see if he'll open up to someone else but I know you have a way with abused kids" I roll my eyes and leave the room.

Harry POV
Snape entered the room and sat in the chair besides my bed and it seemed as if words had failed him. I noticed Asclepius wasn't on the bed but there was no doubt in my mind that he was still in the room he sure does love drama. I wanted to avoid talking first so I just peered outside my window so he would be the first to talk. "Why did you choose me to talk to first over everyone else"

I let out a small laugh "well I did talk to mcgonagall and Mrs. Weasley first but I felt for some reason that you'd understand, well what happened better than anyone else" he nodded at this. Snape seemed as if he wanted to say something else but thought otherwise "how are you feeling" "it's better than when I sported bruises and broken bones that's for sure... Ill be fine"

an awkward silence filled the room "I want you to know Harry that even though everything seems bleak right now everyone is going to try their best to help you heal" I nod at this waiting for him to continue. "You've overcome so many obstacles and nobody should have had to deal with what you've been through, you mean so much to so many people and although I haven't said so in the past you mean so much to me"

I looked up at his words and gave him a disapproving look "you haven't said so in the past hell you never showed it if anything you made my life hell constantly embarrassing me whenever you had the chance, I don't know why I possibly thought talking to you of all people would make me feel better " I put my hand on my face and lifting my glasses so they settle on my hand as I rub in between my eyebrows

"I'm extremely sorry about that, I never got to see the real you and I saw that you looked like James and I immediately thought you were like him please forgive me"

"your only sorry because you realized I'm abused you feel no sympathy, you still would have treated me badly even if I didn't look like him it's just because I'm related isn't it" I roll my eyes why did I ever think this was a good idea. "Do you even realize that you treated me exactly as he treated you, except the fact that your a teacher even if I wasn't related in any way your still a horrible person, hell you called Neville an idiot on his first day just because he made a simple mistake your nothing but a bully"

"I understand how you feel I wouldn't forgive me either but just know that I do indeed care about your well-being and safety weather your James's child or not we all do."

"My well-being and safety" I repeated in an angered voice "I asked, No begged dumbledoor to take me away from the Dursley's every year and constantly he gave me the excuse of blood wards not even attempting to see my reasoning" I took a deep breath as his magic swirled around me "let me ask you this professor how can blood wards protect me from dangers of the outside world when it can't even protect me from the dangers within the walls of private drive, there's no love for me at the Dursley's. I've been though hell I lived in a damn Cupboard and got multiple beatings a day for the simplest things. Dumbledoor never checked on me once he just cast me aside even mcgonagall knew to some extent my cupboard was on my damn letter, so none of you have any fucking right to try and make things right, now I've dealt with the abuse since I was 2 and I can handle it, I don't need your pity help. You and dumbledoor can take your blood wards shit and go fuck yourselves" with that I bolted off the bed grabbed my invisibility cloak, threw it over my head and left the room.
