I don't own this story. The background of this story is with the birth of Harry Potter, she let severus snape back into her life. She forgives him for his sins. Harry is looked over by snape, but not adopted. This story is inspired by the author Snapegirlkmf. This is similar to the story of Arms of a dark angel, but I hope it isn't carbon copy.( if it is I will delete it)

chapter 1 Harry's rescue

"Such a cute baby Lils." Was the last thing he had said to his old friend. That had been the night Voldemort had stormed through the front door, he could still remember it clearly. Lily realized what was happening and asked Severus to go with baby Harry. She made him take her baby and promise to always watch over him. Suddenly voldemort was climbing the stairs, and before he could promise Lily that he would she had forced him to disapparate. Voldemort had attacked Lily and due to the love of Severus, the curse rebounded, but only after killing Lily in the process.

He had taken the baby to Dumbledore's. When Dumbledore found out what happened he said " We must act fast.". He was told the boy would be left at his relatives with his aunt petunia. The boy's aunt and uncle would be given a monthly payment if they kept him. Oh he should of known the old coot was up to something. If only he would of known the years of abuse the child had went through. His uncle's constant beatings, his family's hatred of the boy who lived, but what disturbed him the most was how he himself had treated the boy. It had been foolish to presume the boy was spoiled. It had been stupid to assume he was like his father because of him not answering some questions, But it had been downright idiotic to constantly scare the child with the time he could in his potions class.

He hoped that child could forgive him, he had just received a muggle letter from Petuina that had made him realize the truth.

Dear Snape

I send you this because I am being beaten constantly Vernon, I do not care if you help me but please you have to help Harry, Vernon is now trying to beat him on sight and is constantly starving him. I write this in hopes it will redeem me for all the years that I abused Harry myself. Please help. I cannot make this letter long because I don't know when Vernon will find me.

please help

Tuney.

That startled him, he collectedhis emergency medical supplies and disappeared to number four privet drive.

************************************************************************

Harry snuck out of his room for food thinking Vernon was gone. Vernon had been gone, but Vernon arrived in got the kitchen without Harry noticing.( he was pigging out after being starved) He was just thinking about how he wished he had his wand when he felt the belt come down. He suddenly realized what that Vernon was beating him again. He wanted to cry out, but he knew that would get him beat more. Gosh how he wished anyone would save him from this place. He would even love for professor Snape to show up. Suddenly he felt Vernon stopping.

Severus was disgusted by the scene before him. Harry was being beaten severely by his uncle, the uncle had already drew blood when Snape stunned him. Harry looked around in confusion, only to be picked up by the very professor he was thinking about.

Severus heard Harry ask " Professor Snape?" When severus said " It's okay Harry, your safe, now go to sleep." When his professor said that he decided it couldn't hurt, and cuddled up to Snape's chest, and went to sleep.
