Snape's POV

    "BOY I LOCKED YOU IN THAT DAMN CUPBOARD YOU ARE GOING TO STAY THERE AND KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT," a voice thundered from upstairs. The boy stiffened he tried to jump back into the cupboard I just grabbed him and stood up.
With the boy in my arms I couldn't get my wand to defend us. Oh god it's just me and the boy I'm responsible for what happens to him, I realized.

    "Stand up and stay behind me," I whispered while setting him down. He did what I told him and he clutched the back of my robe with his tiny hands.

    "No he is not," I sneered loudly. The giant man came out from his room. I raised my wand. From all my time as a spy I had always been good and concealing my thoughts and face, but now my hand was shaking. This was Lily's son and Potter's I guess, but he was in my hands now. The man I assume the boy's Uncle looked horrified.

    "You will never lay a hand on him or see him again," I sneered. Thank Merlin my voice didn't shake.

    The whale of a boy came out of his room and yelled, "You can't take him who's going to clean and cook around here!" He then screamed "Daddy don't let him take the freak!" Fortunately the door was just past the stairs, I grabbed the boy's arm and ran out the door.

    "Hold on!" I yelled as I apparated to Hogwarts. After the squeezing sensation we were finally at Hogwarts right in front of the door. I looked at the boy he had tears going down his face. He looked at me with those shining green eyes then suddenly his eyes rolled back into his head and he passed out.

    I grabbed him before he fell and ran into Hogwarts. I raced up to stairs to get Poppy.

    "POPPY," I yelled my voice sounding course.

    "My Merlin Severus what is wro..." she said before she saw him, "get him on the bed NOW!" She yelled. I quickly set him down. She grabbed quill and paper and ran the diagnosing spell. She started with the feet and the quill was going wild it only got worse as she went up.

    "Oh my Merlin, Severus this boy has been abused for many years," she choked out. She handed me the paper I quickly read it, and after reading it I quickly tucked it in my pocket.

    "Me and Dumbledore need to have a little chat," I felt the anger roll off me in heaps my magic was rolling out in lumps of anger.

    "I'll take care of him Severus, but you need to be here when he wakes up, and give Dumbledore a piece of my mind," she informed me before going back to work and grabbing potion after potion.

    "I'll be back Poppy," I said before quickly leaving the infirmary. I ran into Dumbledore's office, muttering the stupid candy to get in.

    "Ah Severus my dear boy, how did it go?" Dumbledore asked not even looking up from the book he was reading.

    "Was that the first time you ever had anyone check on him," I remarked. Subconsciously pacing back and forth.

    "Well yes no wards ever went off, I knew Petunia wouldn't love him but I'm sure he taken care of," Dumbledore said barely acknowledging me, "Severus I know your home life wasn't great, but just because the boy was being a boy doesn't mean he was abused or anything," he waved me off.

    I ripped the paper out of my pocket and I slammed it on his desk in front of him "I don't think this is a boy being a boy," my anger rose, "HE'S JUST A BOY. THE WHALE CHILD WHINED BECAUSE HE COULDN'T KEEP HIM AS HIS SLAVE ANYMORE." I fumed.

    "Oh, oh my..." he read the diagnose paper "what have I done," he muttered.

    "You gave him mental scars that probably won't ever heal quite right, Albus," I drew out. I knew he could feel my anger rolling off.

    "Blood wards can only be active if the child feels safe, Albus, at this rate you should've gave him to a orphanage," I hissed.

    "I never had a reason to think anything was wrong Severus, I swear," he acknowledges.

    "Ten years, you left him, your Golden boy, the boy who's supposed to save us all and you almost let him get killed," I sneered "tell me Albus, where will you put him now hmm?"

    "I don't know Severus, the blood wards was what I believed to be best." he admitted.

    "I made a promise to Lily," I said "he will stay with me, and I will raise him properly."
