Chapter 1
Mr. and Mrs. Dursley of number four Privet drive were proud to say they were perfectly normal. They were your average upper-middle class family Vernon the father was a director of a firm called Grunning's and his wife Petunia was a stay-at-home mother she spent her time looking after their sweet baby angel Dudley and expertly tending to her garden. Any of their Neighbours would agree that they were nearly the perfect family, but unfortunately, they had a rather pesky nephew that couldn't go one day without causing harm to the neighborhood he may have only been five but everyone new from the moment they seen that hideous scar of his that he would grow up to be a good for nothing delinquent.
As harry woke up and reached for his glasses that were 3 sizes too big and definitely not the right prescription and slid them on his face as he opened the door to the cupboard he started to think how everyday was always the exact same harry would wake at 5 every morning start to prepare breakfast for his “family” wash the dishes he used to prepare the breakfast, go knock on his aunt and uncles door 3 times before running down the hall to the stairs were he would tiptoe down as to not make any further noise and go back in his cupboard, close the door and listen as Vernon would lock the cupboard until after breakfast where harry would be let out but only to clean the dishes but after that he would be shooed back to the tiny space under the stairs and would stay there until it is time for lunch where he would be allowed out again to cook lunch and tend to the garden for the rest of the evening until it was time to make dinner and after he was done with all of his chores he might be lucky enough to get a slice of bread for dinner and today was no different.
but as he was walking to the kitchen, he noticed a man walking to the front door before banging on said door thrice and not even a solid 10 seconds could pass before his uncle was racing down the stairs screeching like a banshee
"BOY GET THE BLOODY DOOR!!"
"Yes sir" he said barley above a whisper as he basically ran to the door and opened it to come face to face with the man "Hello sir, may I ask who you are" he asked barley above a whisper but just as the man was about to say something Vernon reached the door and basically threw harry out of the way causing him to land awkwardly on his hand " who the bloody hell are you and why on earth are you doing banging on someone's door at this hour?!" Vernon shouted at the man "hello Mr Dursley I apologies for the disturbance but I need to speak to you and your wife urgently" the strange man drawled out
"What is so important that this couldn't have waited until 8" Vernon hissed obviously pissed off "I'm afraid I can't disclose that information until we are inside, and your wife is present" the man said
"Bloody hell well get inside then, boy show this man to the living room and make some tea" Vernon said as he stepped away from the door and making his way up the stairs to fetch petunia
as soon as Vernon was out of site harry asked for the man to follow him as he made his way to the living room
"Here you are sir I'll be right back with the tea do you have any preferences" he asked the man "I do not" the man said
harry made his way into the kitchen and put the kettle on as he was grabbing his aunt's chamomile tea from the cupboard, he also got 3 mugs and sat them down on the bench and put two sugars in his aunts and 8 in his uncles and then he waited till the kettle was done and put the water into the mugs and waited again until the water had soaked up the tea after removing the tea bags from all 3 mugs he put them in the bin then got a serving plate and put the cups on and made his way out of the kitchen into to the living room he then proceeded to put the correct mug Infront of the correct person and made his way back into his cupboard and after he closed the door he curled up on his cot and stared at the celling wondering who the strange man was
.................................................................................
Harry couldn't tell how long had passed after the shouting had started all he knew is that the man was also a Freak like himself as his aunt petunia had stated as soon as he heard his aunt make this similarity, he also heard two identical thuds although one sound a lot heavier but before he could go check what had happened his cupboard door was thrown open by the strange man
"Hadrian" the man drawled "my name is Severus snape, but you can call me whichever is easiest" the man now known as Severus snape told harry or Hadrian as he just found out "if you would please hold my hand" Severus said so harry did just that and held the outstretched hand of the man "know close your eyes this may make you a little uneasy" Severus said and harry did as ordered not daring to question as to what was happening
