Save me (Severitus)

Chapter 7

Hey I kind of wrote this while I haven't been myself and honestly writing this I don't want to make depression and abuse seem like a great thing and relationships bloom, that's not how it works, I've dealt with mine alone (be that my own choice or not) and a lot of people don't see and/or  don't care. I wrote this out of a wanting for someone like this to me. I want you to know I'm not taking this lightly or making this a thing that just gets "better", it doesn't it that's effort and changes

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 1000 READS OMG LIKE HOW?!??

Snape's POV
With a flick of the wand everything was packed. I needed to take him to Diagon Alley for some new clothes, but I don't know if he can handle that amount of people just yet so my shrunken clothes will have to do for now.

    I come back into the room he was in last and he's still there, sitting, but he is looking around shyly. I don't remember the last time I'd ever observed a child this closely, I used to try to make sure all my Snakes were okay, but I've learned that the Prefects do that for us, and as long as they're okay, everyone else is.

    I see a letter from none other than Lucius, I enjoy his presence on occasion but he raised his son with a 14-carrot gold spoon in his mouth. Draco had good qualities on occasion, but I knew he would be a Slytherin, which means I'd have to deal with the brat more that Lucius already makes me. I open the letter while Harry is still looking around.

Dear Severus,
I hope you are having a pleasant day, I was wondering if you could continue to tutor Draco, I understand that we agreed we would stop, but he has grown bored without your lessons. Thank you for your time.

                                             Your friend,
                                                 Lucius Malfoy

    I couldn't help but bark out laughter, of course he needed more tutoring, he has potential for potions, but he is too insufferable to teach. I quickly write that I will be unable to, for Albus requires me.

     I attach the letter to Hades my owl and send him off.

    "Harry, it is time for us to leave. We will be staying at my cabin down past the Forbidden Forest. We will visit Hogwarts though," I quickly inform him. Despite myself I'm somewhat excited for lack of a better word. I haven't been out of the Dungeons in quite some time.

    "What is the Forbidden Forest, sir?" He asks with curiosity.

    "It is a vast forest full of extremely dangerous creatures, it holds many beauties, but to get to them you must face the dangers of the forest. You will not be around there, my cabin is surrounded by the start of a muggle forest that is connected to the Forbidden Forest, but magical creatures don't go in it," I draw out. I want him to understand the dangers of the Forbidden Forest, but understand he is safe at the cabin. I can't have the Potters kid getting killed this early in my care can I?

    "Now let's head out, you will feel an unpleasant sensation for the duration of this, but I have some potions that will help," I quickly inform him. We must be getting on I do not have all day.

    "Okay," he says cautiously. Huh, I never expected him to be the cautious type, I guess he values life now. Instead of living it to the fullest and getting himself killed, he's decided to be cautious.

     From being head of Slytherin, and being abused myself, that some kids start to act out because they are free and like the feeling, and some live cautious, paranoid lives. Oh Potter would be squirming in his grave if he knew his Gryffindor son was a cautious boy.

    "Grab my arm," I snip, sticking my arm out. Damn I wish someone taught him magic. What could've happened if Voldemort decided to "test" the blood wards and he killed Potter? And here I thought Albus was wise.

    His ghastly pale thin hand is stark on my pitch black robes, I look for a second, I can see all of his blue veins out, he is horribly emaciated. They are worked with red welts and scabs making me want to shiver.

    I quickly advert my eyes and pull out my wand. I feel him flinch from the fast movement and I curse myself for it. With one flick I feel that tube-like feeling and I see that we are finally at the cottage.
