Abused Harry Potter

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Snape's POV

"He will receive two detentions, and has lost 50 house points." Albus told me, as I marched up to his desk.

"Two!? That's it? Albus he attacked my son!"

"I know that Severus. Would it make you feel better if you oversaw the detentions?" He asked, while he looked over his half moon shaped glasses.

"He should get more of a punishment, he attacked Harry!" I shot at him.

"It doesn't matter who he attacked, school policy doesn't care if it was a staff member's child or not."

"But-"

"Severus, either you shall oversee his detentions or I shall have another staff member do so."

"Fine." I turned on my heel and marched out of the room. 'How dare he? It was Harry that we were talking about.' My thoughts were cut off when I almost ran into Lupin as he was rounding the corner.

"Lupin."

"Severus." I went to walk past him when his arm shot out to stop me.

"What Lupin?" I sneered at him. I was in no mood to talk. His face then transformed from a face of curiosity to a face that I could not quite read. He shook his head and continued his way down the dimly lit hallway without saying a word, well at least that got rid of him. Now I just need to make it down to my chambers without running into anybody else.

Somehow I managed to make it all of the way to my chambers without meeting anyone else. As I walked in I saw Harry sitting on the couch, staring at the flickering flames of the fire in front of him.

"Harry, what are you doing up?" He jumped when I called out to him. He slowly turned to face me. He had a blank expression, but I knew there were a million thoughts running through his head.

"Harry." I called again after he turned his head back to the fire, still no answer. I walked over to the couch, and sat down next to him. As I went to place my hand on his slim shoulder he turned to me. He had tears glimmering in his bright green eyes slowly running down his cheeks. I pulled him into my arms not quite sure what to say soon after he fell asleep.

I sat there for a while just staring off into space, not really thinking about anything. I looked down at Harry sleeping, he looked so much like me. I relished this moment as he and I had decided that Harry would take a glamour potion until he was ready to tell his friends.

Sorry for the short chapter, not sure where I want to take this. When do you think Harry will tell his friends, and how?
