Severus Snape appeared on the rock in the middle of the storm with the house on it. He blasted the door open because he could hear the screaming boy. He watched as the whale of a man's foot smashed into a small frail boy. No way that could be Potter could it?

Severus flicked his wand and the man smashed into the stairs. A smaller whale which looked to be the big whales son ran over to him while the woman he knew as Petunia Evans came running down the stairs. She gasped hands to her mouth and waved her hand at the boy huddled on the floor bleeding. Severus' eyes flashed as he knelt next to the shaking figure.

"Mr. Potter?" The child whimpered. " Mr. Potter,..." He took a steadying breath. "Harry..." the boy looked at him with shaking eyes. Lily's eyes. " My name is Severus Snape and I'm here to take you away and never bring you back. " He saw hope shoot through the child's eyes before it suddenly vanished. "Now I want you to lay very still so I can heal you."

Harry's body stilled as he watched the dark haired man point his stick at him and begin mumbling. He gasped after awhile and uncurled. He had to fight off the tears. The pain was going away. He looked into those beautiful onyx eyes and knew he'd be safe because he remembered seeing these eyes before when he was a lot younger.

'I know this man...' Harry thought. ' I was a baby but ... those eyes... there were two men with those eyes... but only he had eyes like this... so deep, so sheltered... I'll be safe with him. I know I will because the woman told me I would. I can trust him and he's making the pain go away. He said I was never coming back this is the best birthday gift ever!'

Severus nodded and set down the back pack he was carrying. He got out his potions that he always carried noting how much the boy looked like him.

"I need you to sit up now. " The boy did as told. " This is pain reliever potion... that's potion not poison ... " Harry drank it and Severus gave a nod of approval. " Now this one is a nutrient potion it'll help you gain weight and get big and strong..." Again Harry took and drank it. " That's very good, Harry. Normally my students throw fits so as not to drink these because of the taste." Harry shrugged, "You are nine today?" Harry nodded, "Well, there is a reason I'm here like I said I'm here to take you away and never bring you back..." again a nod. " I didn't know where you were until you fled the house because of the Ministry owls or I would have come for my little Prince sooner." He took his cloak off and wrapped it around Harry. He then cast a heating charm on it along with an impervious charm. He packed away his back pack and put it on. He then picked up Harry "We'll leave now I don't want you around these monsters anymore than you have to be. "

Once outside he instructed Harry to hold his breath and close his eyes. Once the child did as told he apperated them to the Leaky Cauldron. Getting a room with two beds he tucked Harry in then went to the other bed cursing himself. Dumbledore was going to kill him for removing the boy. next thing he knew a black wolf pup was hitting his cheek with it's paw. He sat bolt up looking at Harry's bed it was empty. The pup snuggled close and was soon asleep. Severus relaxed when he remembered the child was a natural animagus and Lily had freaked the first time it had happened. The boy had just popped into this form one day after turning Black's hair purple and ran around trying to hide from the man because he thought he'd be in trouble. He chuckled shaking his head and put an arm around the pup before getting sucked into sleep.

Harry had been told to eat the breakfast in front of him so he was but he was nervous. Didn't the dark man know he wasn't supposed to eat unless he earned it. When he was done the man took his hand and lead him into the back alley. He tapped the bricks in order while the man talked. Telling him all about magic as they headed toward the place he called Gringotts the Wizard Bank.

" they are goblins stay close." Severus was startled when Harry grabbed his hand. He stubbornly held the small boy's hand. They walked up to an open goblin. " I need a blood test on this child so he may access his accounts and we can sort everything out."

"Right away." The Goblin grunted. "Please follow me." They did and were soon sitting in a private room. " Please prick your finger and let four drops of blood drop on to this parchment. " Harry did then was shocked when Severus healed his prick. "Lets see here..."
