Unexpected Romance - A Snarry RP (Part 4)

Snape: *led him to the fireplace before using Floo powder to transport them to his home*

Harry: *falls on his face as soon as he lands*

Snape: Oh, sorry, Harry * helps him up a little* Forgot to tell you that you'll tend to lose your balance if you're not used to Floo travel

Harry: *shakily walks, but says nothing*

Snape: Come. Let me show you to your room *gently takes his hand and led him upstairs*

Harry: *follows but is moving on autopilot*

Snape: *took him to a room which was situated next to his own* Here you go. This will be your new home from now on. Remember, when you need me, I'll be around, OK?

Harry: *stands in front of the room, not going in*

Snape: Go on *gently pushes him in* It's alright. I'll get you something to eat, OK? Just feel free to look around *ushered him in before leaving the door half-closed and going downstairs*

Harry: *walks to the corner and curls up as small as he can*

Snape: *made something in the kitchen that would be easy on the stomach and brought it upstairs, seeing the boy curled up there at the corner. He lay the tray down on the table and came to him* Harry? I've got some food for you. C'mon, it's OK

Harry: *looks up slightly* *rushes over to eat it as fast as he can, thinking it'll be taken away*

Snape: Easy, Harry, easy. There's plenty more where that come from. Dont want to choke, do you? *his heart ached at seeing the way Harry ate, wondering how bad it was really the Dursleys treated him*

Harry: *finishes everything in under 5 minutes*

Snape: Did you eat or inhale your food there, Harry? You want some more?

Harry: *eyes widen at the question*

Snape: *chuckles softly* I take that as a yes *goes downstairs to make a second helping before returning upstairs with it* You must promise to eat it slowly this time, OK?

Harry: *tries to eat slowly, but ends up only taking a minute longer*

Snape: *shook his head in defeat* You're gonna have to learn to control that eating habit sooner or later. I think it's enough for you for now. Dont want to strain your stomach too much. Would you like to take a shower?

Harry: *shakes his head vigorously*

Snape: Why not, Harry?

Harry: *shakes his head again* No!!

Snape: C'mon, Harry. You look like you havent bathe in a week. *takes his hand gently to lead him to the bathroom*

Harry: *fighting him the entire way*

Snape: It's OK, Harry. It's not like I'm gonna drown you or anything. C'mon, you need that bath

Harry: NO NO NO!!! *struggling*

Snape: *since Harry barely weighed anything, he held the boy by the waist with one arm while preparing the bath with another. He filled it with bubble bath solution and a liquid that gives off a calming scent*

Harry: NO! NO! STOP! NO!!!

Snape: Shh...It's OK. Dont worry, c'mon *magicked Harry's clothes away before gently settling him into the bath, the calming scent slowly working its way into the boy's system*

Harry: *starts to calm down, but still trying to fight* No..! N-o.... Bad...!

Snape: *accio-ed a sponge before gently washing him from head to toe, wondering what was it that caused him to fear baths so badly. Maybe he should consider performing Occlumency on him to find out*

Harry: *whimpering* No... bad...

Snape: Shh...Relax. I've got you right here. I won't let anything happen to you. Just breathe in deep and relax and let me wash you clean *using the sponge, gently scrubbed him clean from head to toe*

Harry: *whimpering, but no longer speaking*

Snape: *rinsed him down and took him out of the bath, towel drying him and wrapping him up before leading him out of the bathroom to get him some clothes to wear*

Harry: *too tired to fight anymore*

Snape: *rummaged through the wardrobe and found a big adult-size T-shirt and shrank a pair of boxers for Harry and helped him wear it*

Harry: *moves as Snape moves his body*

Snape: Now time for you to get some shut-eye *guides him to the bed and tucks him in*

Harry: *shakes his head* No....

Snape: C'mon, you're tired and you had a long day. Now close your eyes and sleep *stroke his hair gently to lull him to sleep*

Harry: *trying to fight him to get out of the bed*

Snape: Harry, c'mon, please...

Snape: *sighs and shakes his head, then had an idea. He went downstairs to make honey milk and spiked the drink with a mild sleeping potion before bringing it up for Harry* Here, Harry. Have a drink

Harry: *blinks, staring up at him thinking its a trick that he's allowed to have something else to eat/drink*

Snape: No trick, Harry. Its very nice, you know. Honey milk. See? *tasted the drink to show that there was no foul play, since a mild sleeping potion doesnt really affect him* No harm done

Harry: *takes it and downs it fast*

Snape: Easy, easy, or u'll choke *stroke his back*

Harry: *falls asleep within minutes*

Snape: *tucks him in and stroke his head for a while before kissing him on the forehead and left the room*

Harry: *whimpering in his sleep*

Snape: *peeked in to check on Harry when he heard him whimper*

Harry: *shifting in his sleep*

Snape: *rubs his chin, wondering if he should perform Legilimency on him*

Harry: Zzz...

Snape: *taps his chin and decided probably it would be best so that he would learn about Harry a little to know what he's dealing with. Whispered the spell and penetrated his mind*

Harry: *dreaming about being beaten for burning breakfast*

Snape: *looked through his mind and saw all the terrible things the Dursley's have done to him, which included the part where Vernon tried to drown Harry in the tub, understanding his fear for baths*

~snape also finds how Harry isn't allowed to go near a bed unless he's making it~
