After dessert, Lucius, Harry and Severus all settled down comfortably in the private sitting room upstairs. Lucius and Severus put up the wards while Narcissa made some tea. The two boys sat together in one sofa, with Draco telling Harry about the history of the wizarding world. He finished his talking just as Narcissa brought the tea in:

- Tea, everyone? Trust me, you will need some after this.

Severus sat down and picked up a cup:

- Thank you, Cissa. It's very good.

The others all copied Severus and took a long sip. After a moment of comfortable silence, Severus cleared his throat:

- Harry, are you ready to hear about your family?

Harry nodded:

- Yes, Sev. Please tell me.

Severus inclined his head:

- Alright then. Harry, you are from the Noble House of Potter. You are son of James Potter, head of the house, and the late Lily Potter. You also have a twin sister, Juliet Potter, the "Chosen One". Why, you will ask, is she called like that? When both of you were one year old, you were attacked by Lord Voldemort, the Dark Lord. Your mother died protecting you. After taking down your mother, he attacked both of you with a Killing Curse, which cannot be rebounded. Miraculously, that girl had somehow reversed the spell and it hit Voldemort instead. He...disappeared, and the whole wizarding world made your sister a hero. Somehow, Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts, had persuaded your father to give you to your mother's relatives for who-knows-why. That's how you got there, Harry.

By then, Harry was furious. His entire childhood was ruined by an old coot while his "dear" father was so dim witted that he did not even bother to protest and gave his own child away to someone he didn't know. His green eyes flared with anger. They glowed a demonic green and suddenly changed into a crimson red. Gusts of wind swirled around him, forming a cyclone in the room.

Severus was taken aback. He didn't know the boy's magic would be this wild. He quickly shouted to Lucius:

- Is the manor safely warded?

- Not even Dumbledore could barge in here without my permission.

- Good. - And with that he waved his wand and tore through the cyclone.

Draco shouted:

- I'm going with Sev!

- It's too dangerous, Draco, stay here! - Narcissa stopped him, grabbing him by his shoulder. Draco shrugged out of her grip and dived in to the twister.

Strangely, the wind didn't hurt him, nor did it hurt Severus. He shouted at Draco:

- What in Merlin's name are you doing here?! It's not safe!

- I'm worried about Harry, and if you don't stop shouting at me, we won't be able to stop Harry from wreaking my family's living room!

Severus sighed and headed on, with Draco hot on his heels. They made their way to the storm's eye, where they saw Harry sat with his knees to his chest, arms round his legs while he stared into space.

Draco was the first to run over and he carefully held Harry in his arms. He noticed Harry's eyes had turned red but he brushed it off. He could get to it later. Right now, he had to get Harry to stop the cyclone.

He whispered gently:

- Harry, calm down. Anger is not going to solve any problem. You don't have to deal with your problems by yourself. I'm here, Harry. I'll help you. We will all help you. Just tell us what's wrong...

Draco's calming voice eased Harry's temper. The cyclone slowly disappeared,  everything was put back to its place, and Draco noticed that Harry's eyes had returned to normal.

Severus hurried towards the two. He waved his wand over them and worriedly questioned:

- Are you two hurt? Did you hit anything?

- No, we didn't Sev. Calm down. - Draco assured him.

He scanned his eyes over the two boys and glanced over a piece of parchment he had just conjured up to record the tests he just ran. He sighed in relief as no injuries were written, however, his eyes harden as quick as a flash. His gaze fixed on the parchment, his face went paler and paler.

Draco anxiously questioned his godfather:

- Sev, what's wrong?

Snape raised his head, his eyes solemnly turned towards Harry curling figure. He gravely asked:

- Harry, where did all your wounds and bruises come from?

Just then, Lucius and Narcissa rushed in and overheard Severus' question. Lucius was confused:

- Bruises? Wounds? What is going on, Severus? I don't see anyone's hurt.

Severus ignored Lucius and walked closer to the boys:

- Harry? Please tell me... I'm not Dumbledore, I will not leave you to those filthy Muggles...

Harry's body was shaking violently. He tried to break free from Draco's arms, but the blonde kept on holding him. He was worried for the raven-haired boy, who was muttering between his sobs:

- Please don't... Please stop... I don't want to... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it...

Harry held his hands up protectively as Severus sat down in front of him. He pulled the boy's hands down and held them tight. He whispered:

- Sshhh... It's alright, it's alright. I won't hurt you. No one is going to hurt you. I'm sorry if the question is painful to you but you have to tell me what is wrong.

Daco kept his arms around him and gently rubbed Harry's back. He hummed a bit, making Harry relaxed. Draco was heart-broken for his fragile friend, and angry. How could someone broke Harry like that?

The situation went on like that for a while before Harry could control his breathing. He slowly breathed in and out a few times. He rested his head in Draco's chest while gripping Severus' hands.

- I-I'm sorry f-for freaking out...It's hard t-to talk about w-what I've been through... - His stutters were muffled by Draco's fabrics, so it was a bit hard to hear what he was saying. But Snape still worked it out and calmly ensured him:

- You must talk to me so I can find out how to help you. I cannot do anything unless you tell me what had happened.

Harry sighed:

- A-Alright. I guess I cannot keep this a secret. Please don't hate me after this...

- How can we hate you? - Draco exclaimed, - We can't love you enough.

Harry forced out a smile:

- Thanks Draco, I'm gonna need that.

He took a deep breath:

- Well, here goes nothing.

And the story began.

- During the time I lived with my aunt's family, they a-abused me...It was quite horrible, really. V-Vernon would beat me whenever he felt like it or...or when I screwed something up. Petunia would starved me if I hadn't finished all of my chores. Dudley would bullied me and locked me in the closet, "just for fun" he said... A-and that's all I c-can tell you now...

Harry held onto Draco's shirt, his body shook as he cried bitterly. It was hell, that house. They had made him wished he had never existed. He cried and cried until he was so tired that he fell asleep.

Draco was stunned for a few moments before hugging Harry tightly. His eyes flared with fury as he remembered what he had heard. He couldn't believe that such a heinous household still existed on this earth. He rubbed Harry's back continuously, whispering sweet nonsense to him although he had fallen asleep. He quietly mumbled:

- I think I want to murder, Sev. Is that alright to you?

Snape pursed his lips, his eyes features were extremely calm:

- Yes, Draco, it is. If it was not for the plan, I would apparate and kill them there and then. Those dreadful Muggles, harming my Harry... - He clenched his fists, his nails dug deep into his hands.

Draco's eyes darken at the thought of Harry being abused. He thought he couldn't stay calm any longer if he was still here so he softly said:

- I'm taking him to bed.

He swiftly put his hands under Harry's legs and picked him up. He noiselessly walked out of the room.

Snape heavily sighed and slumped back in a sofa. Lucius and Narcissa sat down opposite him:

- What had just happened here, Sev? Why was there a twister in the room, and...

- What had happened to Harry?

Seeing as Lucius and Narcissa wouldn't drop the subject easily, Severus breathed out heavily, trying to calm his boiling anger. Massaging his temples, he adjusted his tone for it not to sound like he had been on the verge of losing his mask:

- Alright, I'll tell you. I request you to keep this a secret, but I won't make you say the Unbreakable Vow, it is not needed. But if you speak a word about his to any soul, I promise you will regret having ever existed.

The atmosphere tensed up for a while there before Lucius broke the silence:

- I, Lucius Abraxas Malfoy-

- And I, Narcissa Malfoy née Black-

- Promise not to speak anything about what we are going hear, and let Lady Magic be the witness for our vow of silence.

They finished their vow together, earning a look of gratitude from Snape. Subsequently, he began his talking.
