Thanks for all those that reviewed my very first chapter: lyra_ofhell, Heartstar, unneeded, Akira_Kushrenada_Merquize. Such wonderful reviews. When I posted this on another site I never got this many people to review so fast. I normally would have to post another chapter before it got things really going. I have also had over 200 views for just chapter 1. It’s nice to see my stories appreciated on here where as on the other sight I have barely got 150 for three chapters. I just wanted to let everyone know that the more you review the more I write. Reading comments and feedback from my readers inspires me to write more. I hope everyone enjoys chapter 2 of my story, and please feel free to review you will get acknowledged. :)

Chapter 2

"No!" Alethia screamed. "Oh God!" She sat straight up from a dead sleep. Her white hair flying around her like a cloak caught in the wind. Tears streamed down her face as she recanted the images still burned into her unseeing eyes. She still saw the boy in the bathtub as if she was right there next to him. He was thin, all bones. She gathered that was from him not getting the proper nutrition. Dark hair floating uselessly in the tub of red water. The razor laying haphazardly next to him, blood still dripping from it.
" It's alright.” a voice said from the doorway. “I sent Lucius to the boy's home to fetch him. Come, let us get a cup of tea. It will help you relax."
" Thank you Severus." she hiccuped as she drew the blankets from her legs.
"You are welcome." He said as he helped the shaking woman out of bed.
"How long were you there before I woke up?" she asked him as he led her to the kitchen.
" Long enough for you to mention about the boy and where his location was at. I stayed cause I knew that you would need someone to lean on when you woke. I figured you might be a little distraught." he said as he pulled the tea kettle off the stove to fill it with water.
" A little distraught is an understatement. That boy... I seen what his uncle did to him. It was horrible. I can’t believe a grown man would abuse his own nephew like that.You are always looking out for me." the woman said with a sigh.
" That is true, but we do look out for our own here." he said as he placed a cup in front of the young woman. He then preceeded to pour hot water into it before placing a tea bag in the cup. He then proceeded to pour himself a cup.
" Ummm. Chamomile, perfect for calming the nerves and a worried mind." she said as she picked up the cup. She brought it to her nose and sniffed, and sighed as her stress began to melt away immediately before she even took a sip of the herbal tea." I wonder if he found the boy well enough."
" I am sure that he did. Lucius may be a pureblood but he is not completely advert to the muggle world. He is probably healing the boy's wounds before he can apparate back here. He is still going to need several potions to get him to the point where he should be." Severus said as he took a sip of his own cup of tea.
" That poor boy has been through so much for one so young. I seen a little more than just him trying to kill himself. There was a long line of abuse, and it began as soon as his powers began to manifest. And yet he managed to get up everyday without a complaint and go about his day." she said as she put her head in her hand.
" You are young yourself." Severus said as he sipped his own tea.
" Severus you know my true age. I may look not but twenty to thirty summers, but you and I both know that I am much older than that. I have been blind for twenty years now. I still get worked up every morning because I will never again be able to see the sun rise again. My problems seem menial compared to his and yet he still got up every morning and went about his day."
" I can't even imagine how hard everything is for you. I have not experienced anything so tragic as to lose one of the most basic senses. I have been through my fair share of troubles and trying times, but I would like to say that I am fortunate." he said as he looked into his cup.
" I have coped by myself for this long why not the rest of my life? I don't think that I will ever find somebody that will want me even though I am broken. " she said with her head down.
" You will find someone and you are not broken. Though you lack the ability to see with your eyes does not mean that you cannot see in other ways where it counts." He said as he smiled at her.
" Thank you I needed that. I suppose we should meet Lucius upstairs. I am sure that the boy will need some potions to heal his deeper wounds."
Severus led her to where Lucius had apparated the boy.
" When do you think he will wake up?" she asked the blonde man beside her.
" That I do not know. I was able to heal his obvious wounds but the ones he holds in his mind I cannot heal. He has to do that on his own. The only thing that we can do is try to put into his mind that we do not want him to leave. that we want him to be here with us, that he belongs with us. He was led to believe that he was the only one like himself, and he was cast aside as a freak by his so called family for being different than they are. When I got to the house his uncle was passed out on the couch with a bottle of scotch laying beside him. I found the boy naked in the upstairs tub. If I hadn't gotten there when I did he would have died."
" That poor child. He should not have had to go through all that. Did Dumbledore even know about all this?" she asked the two men.
" I am sure he did. He wanted the boy to be broken so he was more pliable towards his will." Severus said with disdain.
" Don't worry though he is in the right hands now." Lucius said
" Come let's get you back to your room you need to rest. He will be fine here tonight." Severus said as he took her arm.
" Yes I suppose so. Thank you Severus for being there for me."
" Not a problem." he said as he led her to her room. Making sure she was ok he then left.
" Thank you for staying with her when she woke up." Lucius said as he sat down next to the boy.
" It was not a problem."
" I hope Draco is ok. He is with his mother in Paris. So he does not know what is going on."
" I am sure he will be fine, considering his position in all of this. He is very mature for his age. But the matter is what are we going to do about him no one must know that we have him here we will have aurors storming the place once someone in the ministry catches wind of this." Severus said as he sat beside his best friend.
" We should have plenty of time before they figure out that he is gone. In the mean time we should get to bed. He will probably wake in the morning."
" Very well. Good night Lucius."
" Good night Severus."
They parted their separate ways. To find solace in their own beds.
Well that was chapter 2 hope everyone liked it. Please review I love some constructive criticism. But if you are going to flame my story don’t bother cause your review will get ignored. I know that this chapter is a little shorter that the first but i am going to try to make chapter three longer.
