My real family

Rescued

11 years later

In a house on an ordinary street in Surrey there lived a little boy in a cupboard under the stairs. He had messy untamable hair, with bright green eyes. He was very underweight and pale. If you took off his five sizes too big shirt then you could see his little body littered with scars and many multicolored bruises.

Harry Potter was having a terrible day or as more terrible it could get while living with the Dursleys. His aunt had made him clean the floors again when suddenly he heard the mail slot open and in dropped the mail. He began looking through the mail when he saw a letter addressed to him.

Harry Potter

Number 4 Privet drive

The cupboard under the stairs

He turned it over and saw the wax seal with an impression of an eagle, badger, lion and a snake and the word Hogwarts on it.

'It must a be a joke. Clearly Dudley and his gang trying to get my hopes up by getting 'accepted' to a boarding school. Like a nice school would accept a pathetic freak like me.'

During his inner ramblings he didn't notice his cousin take the letter out of his pocket until it was too late.

"DAD THE FREAK'S GOT A LETTER.

Vernon Dursley came into the kitchen and took the letter from his son. As he read the letter his face changed from red to green to an awful puce color.

"PETUNIA GET IN HERE. IT CAME. THE FREAKS LETTER TO THE FREAKY SCHOOL CAME."

He went to his nephew and dragged him into the living room by his hair. He took off his belt and began beating Harry with it.

"This will show you to bring your freakiness into our home you ungrateful no good freak."

As he beat the boy, he didn't notice the black haired black robed figure in the window until it was too late.

"Stupefy!"

One hour earlier:

"Ah Severus so good for you to come." Albus said.

"Enough with the pleasantries headmaster what is it you need?"

"Severus I need you to go to number 4 privet drive in surrey to check up on Harry Potter and make sure he has gotten his Hogwarts letter."

"Why must I do it. Why can't one of the Potters do it? He is their son after all."

Lily and James Potter weren't dead after all. When the dark lord went to attack the Potters, James and Lily where out and the babysitter was killed and the dark lords body was destroyed.

"Severus please."

"Fine."

On Privet drive

'I can't believe I'm checking up on the Potter brat. I bet his aunt and uncle are groveling at his feet. Pampered prince and arrogant just like his father. Abraxas would have never been like that. He would have been well mannered and...... Severus stop!' He walked up to the window of number 4 and saw a gruesome sight. He saw a hugely large fat man beating a little black haired boy. The child wasn't crying out so it must have been a regular thing. He blasted open the door and stunned the man.

"Stupefy!"

Severus ran inside and as he came in the man's wife and son came in and he stunned both of them. He picked up the boy and noticed he was very under weight. He apparated on the spot to Hogwarts hospital wing.

"POPPY!"

"Severus why are you yelling. Oh my goodness who is that?" Poppy asked as she noticed the child in his arms.

"It's Harry Potter. Albus wanted me to checkup on him at the muggle residence that he placed him with. I saw through the window his uncle beating him. I saw he wasn't crying out even with the metal buckle breaking the skin on his back and bleeding him profusely."

"The poor dear, place him here Severus. Should we call the Potters or wait until he's healed?"

"Wait until he is healed so he knows what's going on instead of frightening him."

Severus stayed while Poppy ran the diagnostics. The more spells she performed, the length of parchment that was coming out of her wand kept growing longer.

"Well he is severely underweight, has multiple breaks that haven't been set right like ribs, both arms and his right leg twice. He is also littered with hundreds of scars on his stomach torso and back. There is also a very strong glamour on him that should drop once he is starting to wake up. Severus will you stay and watch him as he should wake up any second now, while I grab the necessary potions and balms he will need."

"Yes I'll stay."

As he sat there watching the child he sent a message through his patronous, a King cobra, to his wife telling her to come to the hospital wing. The glamour was beginning to drop and the child's features began to change. His hair began to tame and lengthen almost to his shoulders. His skin turned as pale as his own skin tone. His facial structure became more aristocratic with high cheekbones, strong chin and he had his wife's nose. Once the glamour finally dropped the boy looked exactly like he, Severus, did.

Ana came through the door to see her husband crying over the body of a little boy that looked exactly like....no it couldn't be. He looked just like Severus.

"Severus who is that boy?" Ana asked.

"It might be our son Ana."

"How?"

Severus began to explain all what happened that day from the meeting with Dumbledore to the boys glamour dropping. Once he finished his tale, his wife was crying as well.

"Poppy please hurry." Severus said.

"I'm coming Severus please hold on."

She walked into the room and gasped.

"Who is that? Severus why does he look like a miniature version of you when earlier he looked just like James Potter?"

"That's what we want to know as well, Poppy."

As they where talking Harry began to stir. He was confused because he wasn't under his cupboard at the Dursleys. He looked around and saw three people at the foot of his bed. One, a man, was tall with long black hair, black eyes and inhumanly pale skin. One of the women was shorter than the other. She had long platinum blonde hair and had bright iridescent purple eyes with gray specks. The other woman had gray hair and looked very matronly. The man turned and looked at him. He shushed the women who hadn't noticed that he was awake.

"Good morning. How are you feeling?" the man asked.

Harry looked down, suddenly afraid.

"Don't be afraid." the man placed two fingers under his chin and tilted his head up. "My name is Severus Snape. This is my wife Anastasia and this is Madame Pomphrey. We all work here at Hogwarts."

"Hogwarts is real? It's not a joke?"

"No magic and Hogwarts is real. Did your aunt and uncle ever tell you about magic? Of how your parents learned all that they know?"

"No they said magic is fake and only freaks do freaky things in the world." He said in a monotone voice, like he had to say it repeatedly.

"Aunt petunia and uncle Vernon said my parents where drunks who died in a car crash and that's why I have to live with them. That's why I have this scar."he lifted his bangs to show the lightning bolt shaped scar.

"We're going to give you some potions to heal your cuts and bruises now. Is that all right?" Severus said.

He nodded his head and drank the potions they gave him. The potions made him sleepy and he went back to sleep.
