Kitten

August 15, 1991 (pt.2)

  The duo of Kaytes lay snuggled up together for a couple of hours before Severus hears the screech of tires as one the Dursleys come back. Looking down, he saw that Pot-Harry was still sleeping comfortably up against him. He decided against moving just to see what would happen. If the need comes and he has to fight for his child, he would do so. However, since the sun had already gone down he was undetectable in the dark. Even from inside the house he could hear Petunia screeching at the top of her lungs. Her voice caused Harry to jump up in fear. The kitten was shaking horribly, and not even his purring seemed to sooth him. 

    Severus watched as the child immediately shifted back into his human form and rushed to finish the weeding that he had neglected in his time spent sleeping. The back door slammed open and Severus watched as Lily’s sister continued to berate his son, spewing out all kinds of nasty insults both about him and his “parents.” A low growl left his through as cold fury raced through his veins. He could feel his mate’s confusion through their bond, but he ignored it completely as his attention was solely on his son. The yelling grabbed the attention of the child’s uncle who appeared out the door in seconds. The beluga grabbed his child by the hair and dragged him inside. Severus was already on his feet and stalking through the dark. Petunia looked in his direction when she heard growling, but shrugged and went to close the door. 

   What she failed to realize was that he was right next to her and managed to slide inside before she had the chance to shut him out. He could hear his child screaming and the anger inside of him increased tenfold. There was no one in the kitchen so he walked into the shadows before stopping at the doorway of the kitchen and living room. Petunia sat  crossed legged on the couch, her face twisted up in an ugly sneer as she watched her husband kick and punch his child. Severus could feel his body shaking with a fury that he never knew he had, but he knew he had to be sneaky about this. Dumbledore be damned, he would make sure that he and his child left this horrid place. Harry managed to open his eyes momentarily. Green eyes met black ones before Vernon gave a hard kick to the child’s head, knocking him unconscious. 

He had had enough. Turning back into his human form, Severus erected a protection shield over himself before he stunned the fat man. His wife screamed and it took everything in him not to wince at the sound. When she looked up her look of surprise and shock turned into one of anger and disgust. 

“YOU!”

“Hello Tuney,” he drawled.

“Get out! We don’t need anymore of your freakiness in this house!” Her face had slowly begun to take on a purple color which did nothing for her already unappealing features. 

Severus said nothing as he looked at her and his silence seemed to scare her as she backed up slowly against the chair. His eyes changed and he could feel his teeth elongating. The horse-faced bitch shivered as she watched the coldness show in his eyes.

“It was all Vernon,” she said, still unnerved by his lack of response. “He beat the boy!”

Severus chuckled. “Already turning on your precious husband I see. So much for being a team.” He made his way over to her as if he was still in his feline form. He was the predator and she was his prey. He stopped directly in front of her, his arms bracketing her in place. He moved his face so close to her that the tips of their noses were almost touching. 

“I’ve been watching you, my dear sweet Petunia. And I must say my dear, I am not pleased at what I’ve seen.” 

Petunia said nothing, but she shivered at the chilliness of his tone. 

“And I don’t think the police would be pleased either.” 

His statement caused her eyes to widen in fear and he laughed at her expression. 

“Please,” she whimpered. Severus stood up and looked down at her with pure disgust. 

“Isn’t that what my son said to your husband as he struck him over and over? Isn’t that the word he used when he begged you to help him from the torment? And you so thoroughly ignored?” 

She looked up at him, fear still visible on her face. However there was something that he said that caught her attention. 

“Son?” She spat.  “Last time I checked Lily would never lay down with a freak like you. I hardly doubt any woman would let you lay with her.”

Severus was unfazed by her words and it showed on his face. 

“I would be careful what you say, seeing as you’re already toeing the line of death.”

She spit at him. “Are you threatening me, you freak?! You know what do what you want with the boy, I never wanted the little runt anyway. And when you do, make sure you keep him cause we don’t want him back in this house.” 

Her last couple of words were followed by her spitting, not at him, but at his son. And since he was in such close proximity to her, she managed to spit directly onto his face. She looked up at him with a challenge in her eyes and yet Severus’s face remained completely void. The corners of her lip turned upward into a satisfied smirk as if she had won. What happened next shocked her. One second she was looking up into the ugly face of her sister’s childhood friend, the next her head dipped backwards and her cheek was suddenly on fire. She looked up at the man in shock, his eyes were blazing with a fire that she had never seen before. He reached down and grabbed her by the neck bringing her face to face with him. Petunia kicked her feet, trying in vain, to get him to release her. 

“You have no idea what you have coming for you.” His voice was soft and smooth which seemed even more terrifying as if he had been yelling. 

Suddenly he stunned her before shrinking her down into a rat. He did the same to her husband. He then placed the two of them into a cage that would not allow them out now matter how hard they tried. Severus shrunk the cage and put the cage in his pocket. 

Expecto Patronum 

A cat-like creature exited the tip of his wand before stopping in front of him. 

    “Tell Marvolo to prepare the bedroom next to ours and to call Narcissa. Also tell him that I have a little surprise for him.” 

The creature nodded and took off. Severus turned to his son and wiped his face of the bitch’s saliva. He then turned him back into his kitten form, he figured it would be a little easier to sneak away. He placed multiple protection charms on the little one before depositing him into his other robe pocket. Taking another look around, Severus put a stais on #4 Privet Drive before walking about the back door and apparating to his manor.
