*Harry raises Snape **This goes without saying but TW: CHILD ABUSE Severus Snape survives the war and spends his time in Hogwarts as a Potions master until a potions accident transforms him into a 6-year-old. With no memory of his adult self, Severus only has Harry to help him heal from his past and have a better life than before. *** He tried opening the first door having to stand on his tiptoes to reach it however it was locked and wouldn't budge open. He heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Running all the way to the end of the corridor and tried opening the door there but it was also locked. He turned around to see Harry at the top of the stairs. He ran and hid under a table in the corner. He knew he could be seen but hopefully, the man was too big and even if he did manage to get to him, it would be harder to lay good blows while he was hiding under the table. Even if he had his back facing the man, he could hear his footsteps advancing towards him. "Severus please come out," Harry said. "I don't want to hurt you. I am going to show you your new room," It sounded tempting but he really didn't want to risk it besides why would a stranger have a room for him in their house. "Severus, it's not safe here and you can't stay possibly hide here forever," The man tried."Please come out. I can easily make you come out but I don't want to force you though you cannot stay here," Severus gave no response to the words. A few more minutes passed as Harry gently tried to talk him into coming out but he did not comply. After a few minutes, Severus felt a pair of strong arms grab him from behind. He tried to kick free out of their grasp but the man held him against the chest rubbing his back, "Shhh, you're ok, shhh" he whispered into Severus's ear. Severus didn't know why but it instantly made him feel better and he laid his head on the man's shoulder as they walked back downstairs.
