Summary: The man leans over the table and presses the cup of tea into Harry’s hand. “Here, have some more. Perhaps it’ll make you feel better.”
Harry doubts it but accepts the cup nonetheless and takes a few mouthfuls. Moments after he’s swallowed the bitter brew he begins to feel cold and his vision blurs.

Sometimes safety takes on a strange meaning, but Harry always knew cupboards were safe. He just never knew that he would one day associate Snape along with cupboards and the safety and sense of security they always brought him.

This is a response to the 'Teacher Attack!' challenge issued by Dhurva.
Challenge Summary: Harry is being abused by any teacher of Hogwarts and rescued by Snape. It could be Umbridge or Lockhart or any other likely candidates.
This is also a response to my 50quills table over at LJ, 014, honour.
Some might consider the contents of this story offensive -- there is mentions, and rather direct and frank ones at that, of sexual assault by a teacher to a student.
I suppose the mere challenge makes sure that this fic is AU, since abuse is not something we had in the books, right?
