Harry Potter: The Parental Secret

Chapter 1: Hostage

#4 Privet Drive

Harry wanted nothing more than to disappear. He noticed he was wishing for it more and more. A month still remained until he could return to Hogwarts. Harry did get a bunch of letters from his friends. Ron had written to invite him to the Quidditch World Cup at the end of the week. He said to send a reply with his owl. But Harry was so busy doing housework, he could barely acknowledge the invitation, let alone answer it. He had to send Pig, (Rons owl) back to him with nothing.

Hermione had written every week. She kept getting more anxious every time her letters went answered. Harry hated worrying the two, but he had no way to contact them with Hedwig gone. He also couldn't risk Vernon discovering owls in his bedroom when he was doing his chores. The letters were a nice reminder that someone cared about him.

Vernon opened the cupboard door with a slam. "Boy, it's time for your punishmemt!" He grinned yanking on Harry's arm and dragging him to the tub. There he filled the tub with the hottest water there ever was.

Without warning, Vernon threw Harry into the depths relishing in the boys yells and screams of desperation.

After 15 minutes, he pulled Harry out and proceeded to force the kids head under the water.

Despite Harry thrashing about, Vernon kept an iron grip on the kids neck. When Harry was about to pass out, Vernon tugged him roughly out and began to do the when procedure over again...except this time with freezing cold water.

Harry closed his eyes wishing to be anywhere but here. He knew my imagination was never good enough. He even wished for detention with Snape of all people opposed to where he is now.

Spinners End...

Severus Snape was beyond irritated. After trying to keep Harry safe, the boy went ahead learning advanced magic with a werewolf and saved an innocent man to the worst of fates ever.

Sev sighed walking over to the portrit of a woman with long dark red hair and brilliant green eyes. The woman looked to be about 21. "What is it Sev?"

"Potter, he's such a menace!" Snape snarled.

The woman giggled, "He got that from James you know."

"Quit reminding me." Snape growled.

"Sev, I have the faint feeling Harry's in trouble again. Like it or not, it's your job." The redhead commented with a dangerous look in her eye.

Snape sighed closing the door that held the portrit of the woman he loves. "Im doing this only for you, no one else."

#4 Privet Drive

Harry was exhausted from the constant belt beatings, forced showers and baths, and the nonstop burning all over his limbs. He was laying in his cpboard under the stairs as punishment.

He could barely move when he heard a bang then crash. Harry looked through the slits in his door to see the front door blasted off its hinges. Harry thought he must be hallucinating because he saw Snape the most hated teacher in Hogwarts step into his house.

Harry laid down on his filthy mat and knew he needed sleep. "Vernon, where are you?" Snape asked in a dangerous voice.

Harry believed he was dreaming and he refused to wake up. Yes Snape is aweful but at least someone cared to check in on the famous boy.

Harry then wondered why no one looked in on him for the past 10 years. Dumbledore has a lot of expmaining to do.

Harry rolled over closing his eyes, appreciating this nice dream unfolding in front of him
