When I got this idea months ago, i thoughy it'd be a one-shot.
But I was desperate for something to write and skimmed through the challenge page and when I saw the drabble challenge it gave me an idea...and this is what came out of it.
Hopefully, all the numbers are right.
These are my first drabbles and I've discovered how annoying it is when you are one word short or two words over.
Snape wanted to take Harry away; damn his cover and damn the war.
But there was no escape.
The Dark Lord did not want Harry Potter dead.
Not yet.
For weeks he had to watch as they hurt his boy. At times, he had to raised his wand and cast a curse against his own child.
Though he screamed when they cursed him.
Though his groaned when his body jerked.
Though he cried after a nightmare.
Though he trembled in the dark.
Though he complied listlessly when a Death Eater came to collect him.
Harry never broke, but Snape did.
