Making his way through the tall grass he can only imagine the times he had with his parents.The sounds he may have heard.Before his foot could touch the steps he hesitated as if the slightest touch could harm such a beautiful place.But he couldn't resit the urge to walk through it doors.
One step.
Two.
Three.
Before his hand could touch the door handle it opened to his surprise.On the other of the door revile a elf time was written its pale clean skin.Her eyes shown a blue and ushered tears.The creak of the door was wide enough for him to see the silky pink robes she wore
For some odd reason he felt familiarity towards her,"Um, hi I was won-"
"Young Master,"She had cried in joy and collapsed sudden around his legs hugging tightly.He gasped,stumbling back barley catching the door to keep him up,"Young Master you have returned home!Tiny has been waiting for your return!"
"I-I-you know me?"He asked awed.
She pulled back wiping her eyes with her silky sleeve,"Yes you have your Master James beautiful eyes,of course.And Master Severus's hair and paleness,"The elf bowed,"you are with out a doubt the one and only proud heir to the Snape family,Hadrian James Snape. Your magical core proves your power to this house.Master James was right.You were indeed to grow up and be a powerful wizard."
He was speechless.
She snapped up in realization,"Oh dear Young Master please come inside,"She started pushing him inside before he was able to protest,"you must be starved.Tiny shall make a meal."
He was going to disagree but the rumble in him stomach proved her right and he unwilling flustered.She led him to a small dinning room for three.The kitchen put Petunia to shame.Counter glistening as if new.The sun shined through the open window reflecting of the glass vase filled with freshly picked roses and daises.The wooden circular table and the wooden chairs were smoothed.Everything was well taken care of even thought no one has lived here for years.
"Young Master,"He turned the elf held a tray of delicious food it made his mouth water,"sit your must eat."
She snapped her fingers and a bowl of dead but fresh mice appeared and the snake stormy eyes brighten and he slithered to his meal.
Yesssssssss nooooooooow wwweree taaaaaaalking.
He sat,"Um,"the tray was set in front of him,"you-uh-Tiny your the care taker of this house?"
He dug into his meal
She smiled kindly,"Yes of course.Tiny has taken care of the house since,"Her ears drooped in sadness,"since that day."
He stopped spoon mid-air,"The day I was taken,"his grip in his spoon tightened and his eyes darkened,"the day my mother was killed and my father-,"Hadrian clutched his teeth.He dropped his spoon,no longer feeling hungry.
Tiny nodded sadly,"Yes that sad day was one Tiny would never forget,"she laid a hand on his knee able to muster a smile,"but Young Master has returned.Has returned to regain his home.That's why Tiny never left she had hope in Young Master that he'll find his way home.No longer how long it took."
He looked into her eyes shocked and he could help but let the tears unwilling fall.He buried his head in his hands and sobbed as Tiny comforted him.All the thing he was feeling finally collapsed on him all at once.All the betrayal and the anger.And the joy that at least one person waited for him to come home who knew who he was with out a doubt.He cried until he could cry no more.
