Summary

     was 9 years-old. His aunt remarried a year later and that’s when his
     torture began. He entered Hogwarts and didn’t talked to anyone. But
     all that changed when he learn that he was…
Notes
     In this story there won't be four houses, each student will have
     their own rooms. Harry has not lost his voice, he just won't talk.
***** Year 1 *****
Chapter_1_~_First_Year
He was 11 when he learned about his real identity. “You know what will happen
if they find out right?” He looked at the man in front of him and nodded
frighten.

“Dear is time for you to leave,” his aunt’s voice came from down stairs. He
stood but was stopped by the man in front of him. He knew what was coming and
tried to get away but it was in vain; it hadn’t been the first time either.

“He’ll come in a second dear,” his ‘uncle’ said. His aunt didn’t reply and he
found himself naked in front of the man in just seconds. He wanted to call for
help but his voice had stopped working after the death of his real uncle. He
closed his eyes as the man began to touch him in places he did NOT want at all.
He wanted to cry but knew that if he did his ‘uncle’ would only hurt him more.
“Listen carefully because I’ll only say it once, if you talk to anyone or if
anyone touches you, I will hurt them. So you make your decision,” his ‘uncle’
said as he raped him.

“Dear is getting late,” his aunt called once again, he knew she was walking up
the stairs. She had suspected and he had wished to tell her but the man had
treated him with his family’s lives. He got dresses fast and walked out of his
room, the room he hated since his real uncle had died. He had made no noise and
scared his aunt as always as he was in front of her without warning. “Oh! Come
dear, you are leaving with Mr. Remus Lupin,” his aunt said as they walked down
the stairs.

“Hello Harry, it’s a pleasure to meet you,” Remus said as they reached the
bottom stair. Remus was wearing a black coat that looked old but Harry said
nothing. He looked behind him and hoped that the man wouldn’t come out and do
something to the nice guy in front of him.

“He is a little shy and hasn’t talk for a long time now, I ask only to be
patient with him please,” his aunt said with a sad tone.

“Of course,” Remus said smiling before he left with Harry at his side. The
journey was silent; every now and then Remus would say something in hopes that
Harry would say something back but the boy just didn’t seemed to want to show
interest in anything.

~Break line~

Remus was sitting across from Albus Dumbledore; beside him were Minerva
McGonagall and Severus Snape. Sirius was currently in Azkaban and Severus had
promise to find a way to get him out. Everyone was silent Remus had requested
the meeting and therefore he had to break the silence, or so Albus said. “Harry
doesn’t show life at all! This is not what I expected!” Remus finally said with
anger in his voice. “There is something wrong with him, I smelt something wrong
in that house!”

“Like what Remus?” Albus asked and Severus and Minerva looked at him but said
nothing otherwise.

“Well I smelled something before Harry went out of his room… I don’t know
exactly what but I almost ran out of the house,” Remus said. Everything stayed
silent for a moment no one talked, no one move. “It has been almost three
months and the students break is coming up and Harry has made no sound at all.
He won’t talk or even make an attempt as if he was afraid of something.”

“Is that true Minerva, Severus?” Albus asked looking at the other two.

“Well… he does his work without complains and turns it in before the students
stop whining that I gave them to much work. That’s when everyone shuts up and
began to do their work. When it comes to group work, he would do his part but
won’t talk if I ask his group to present. He seems to distance himself from
people rather than trying to communicate with them,” Minerva said in a low
voice but high enough for the others to hear.

“I hate to say this but I agree with her. He doesn’t talk at all, I thought he
would be as energetic as James,” Severus said in a sad tone that Sirius,
Minerva, Albus, and Remus only heard. The four stayed late talking about Harry.

~Break Line~

Christmas approached and Harry received three letters. One from his aunt,
another from his cousin, and the last from his ‘uncle’, he also received
presents from other people that he didn’t know, but he knew they were safe. He
sat down by the fire place of his rooms and opened his aunt’s letter. It said:

‘Dear Harry,
    I hope you are learning new things. You’ll be staying at your school as
your headmaster thinks it would be safer. He thinks that the wizard that killed
your parents will try to come after you if you come here for the holidays. I
don’t think Vincent was too happy about it… he looked disappointed. Dear is
something wrong? Please tell me if there is something wrong, I know it might be
hard but I’m here to protect you and that is something no one can change.

    I hope you have a great Christmas and take care! I wish you a Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year.
Sincerely and with love,
Your, Aunt Petunia’

Harry smiled at the letter; it felt nice to smile once again without the fear
that someone would hit him for doing it. He looked at his cousin’s letter and
opened it, he began to read. It said:

‘Hey GE,
    I hope you are making friends. I miss you; even if you didn’t talk you
would be here. It’s okay though because I know that you are in a place where
you’ll learn to control your magic more. I know you are hiding something, and
that you are scare to say something. I want you to tell me, I might not be dad
but I know that you trusted him with your life. Please tell me if something is
wrong, it doesn’t matter how bad it is I will not stop loving you my little
cousin.

    I hope you have a great Christmas and take care! I wish you a Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year.
Sincerely and with love,
Your, Cousin Dudley’

Yup there were son and mother, no doubt in that. His smiled wide even more, but
it disappeared as his ‘uncle’s’ letter came into view in his hands. He didn’t
even open it; he simply threw it into the fire. He opened the presents from
whoever they were and putted them in a room that he knew no one would enter.

~Break Line~

The school term came to an end and Harry with a sigh left his room and the
safety of the castle. Once on the train he ended up in a compartment with a
girl of bushy brown hair and a boy of red hair. He ignored them and sat in
silence, they began talking and he was thankful that they were considerate
enough to leave him alone.

Chapter_2_Second_Year
Harry was currently sitting in his room; a month had passed since he had gotten
back from school. He had received a letter from Albus Dumbledore telling him
that he would be picked up the following morning. His door was suddenly thrown
open, he didn't have to look up to see who it was. He stood and tried to make a
run for it, but was stopped like all his other attempts. He was then thrown to
his bed and soon found himself naked and his 'uncle' once again rapeing him.
This hurt more then before, he knew the man was mad and was taking it out on
him by doing what he hated the most.
The front door opened and Vincent stopped and smoothed down his cloths. "You
know what will happen if you tell anyone" he said before leaving Harry to cry
by himself. The 12-year-old pre-teen stood and went to his bathroom and took a
cold shower. He only hoped someone would find out without him saying a word. He
really missed his real uncle.
'Why? Why me?' Harry mouth as no noise came out and that only made him cry
more.
Break Line
Albus nocked on the door of Privet Drive number 4 the following morning. The
door opened and there stood Petunia Harry's aunt. "Tell me Petunia why doesn't
Harry talk?" Albus asked.
"I don't know Mr. Dumbledore, after Vernon's death Harry hasn't said a word.
Harry was about 9 at the time. Then I remarried to Vernon's brother Vincent a
year afterwards" Petunia said in a sad tone. Albus knew she wasn't lying. Now
the only thing he was wondering was if it had been a good idea to leave Harry
in the care of this family.
"Did Vernon ever treat Harry as a burden?" Albus asked.
"No he never did, actually he was the one that knew when Harry was sick, sad,
or if something troubled him. He knew Harry as if he was his own son; Harry was
never seen with a tear when Vernon was in his presence. Like I said Harry
stopped talking after my-my-Vernon died," Petunia said.
"Please call him, we must leave" Albus said. He might not be able to read minds
anymore but that didn't mean that he didn't know when something was wrong. He
had to find out what exactly was going on in that house, especially after what
he found out about Harry and…
"Dear please come down, you must leave soon" Petunia said interrupting Albus'
thoughts. Harry was standing in front of them in just moments and both, Petunia
and Albus, were surprised at how quietly the boy managed to move about.
"Well we shall be going now Petunia, come Harry" said the headmaster as he
turned to leave. The door opened. Standing in its frame was Vincent. Harry
tensed. The sudden tenseness of the pre-teen didn't go unnoticed by either
Albus or Petunia. 'I have to get him out of here and see if we can figure this
one out. First we have to get him out of this place' Albus thought as he walked
out with Harry following at his side.
"Don't forget to write to us dear, and be careful" Petunia said from the door.
A blond-haired boy stopped Albus and Harry.
"Hey GE, I just want you to know that you can tell me anything. No matter what
it is okay, I will find a solution. I just need you to tell me, I think you
need to leave now so I wish you good luck and please be careful," the boy said.
Harry nodded and Albus could only guess the boy was Dudley Harry's cousin. He
then left with Harry at his side to the Order of the Phoenix's Head Quarters.
Break Line
Harry was sitting in his rooms, it was Christmas and he had received the same
amount of presents as the previous year. He couldn't believe that time was
flying by so fast in a place he actually felt safe in. A place in which his
'uncle' was unable to cause him any harm. He had run into a raven haired
professor several times and he just couldn't seem to take his mind off him. He
couldn't believe that of all places he could feel safe in, they were only two
of his classes: Potions and Defence Against the Dark Arts. Harry sighed and lay
back on his bed to sleep for the break was going to be either a long or a short
one.
Break Line
Severus was sitting in his class, he had second years this period and he was
observing how all his students were fairing. A hand flew up suddenly and he
looked towards the person before saying, "yes Mr. Malfoy?"
"I think I added a little to much Red Dragon Pourer" Malfoy said. Severus saw
from the corner of his eye Harry raise his head and waved his hand twice
towards Malfoy's caldron. The potion then turned to the colour it was suppose
to be, "um-thank you."
"Who exactly are you talking to Mr. Malfoy?" Severus asked hoping Malfoy hadn't
noticed.
"To the boy over there Professor" Malfoy replied pointing towards Harry and
then continued on with his work. Severus nodded while proceeding to his desk so
that he could sit while he watched the raven-haired pre-teens every move. He
had been partnered with the youngest Weasley boy.
"Times up" Severus declared when he noticed that there were only five minutes
left for class to end. Everyone began to clean, he still didn't miss a move
Harry made as the potion flow in the air as the pre-teen cleaned his area and
the Weasley boy poured some of the potion into a vial.
The bell rang signalling to everyone that class was over. Severus watched as
the Malfoy heir went up to Harry and said something. Harry didn't acknowledge
the other pre-teen causing the boy to tap his shoulder: in turn making Harry
flinch. "Sorry, I just wanted to thank you" Malfoy said. Harry only looked at
him for a moment before leaving with out another word. Severus looked worried
but chose not to say anything. He now needed to talk with Albus about what he
had witnessed.
Break Line
The end of the year arrived and once again Harry got into a compartment alone
and hoped no one would enter. Unfortunately for Harry the same boy and girl
from the previous year had gotten into the same compartment as him. He really
didn't mind them since they didn't talk to him for which he was grateful. What
he didn't expect was the boy from the potion's class. No one spoke, no one move
for a moment. "Hey Draco why don't you sit here" the girl said.
"Thanks Ms. Granger" the boy, now known as Draco, replied.
"Call me Hermione," the girl, Hermione said with a slight blush. Harry looked
out the window as everyone went on with his or her own things. Harry lost
himself in his thoughts as the other three began to talk in low voices. Harry
found himself remembering his real uncle; it had been three years since then.
Break Line: Harry's Memory
///////Harry was sitting in the living room trying not to cry. His uncle hadn't
said anything to him it was his BRITHDAY! The front door opened and Harry
ignored it and continued to just sit there, as his uncle then entered the
living room and upon seeing him he smiled. "What's wrong Harry?"
"You forgot what day it is!" Harry said mad.
"No I didn't forget I just wanted to see how you reacted," his uncle said.
Harry looked at his uncle, as Vernon advanced towards him and began to tickle
attack him.
"Yes you did" Harry said not being able to stop laughing.///////
Break Line: End of Harry's Memory
Harry looked up at the sky as at that moment a tear rolled down his cheek. The
other three noticed but said nothing. The train came to a stop and Harry stood
and left before anyone else did. Once outside the train Harry saw his aunt and
cousin waiting for him just like last year. He was grateful Vincent wasn't
there because it had become the only time he was able to really smile at them.

Chapter_3_Third_Year
A month had passed and Harry was sitting in the living room looking at a
picture of his real uncle, Vernon Dursley. The picture was suddenly jerked away
from him; he didn't have to look up to see who had done it. "Never stare at
this picture or any picture of him at all, understood?" his 'uncle' said. Harry
only nodded and he was jerked up to his feet, Harry tried to get away but in
vain. He was pulled upstairs and to his room, he was thrown to his bed and not
long after found himself naked in front of the man behind him.
'Please someone help me!' Harry screamed in his mind!
Break Line
Severus stopped mid-sentence in a report he was writing for Albus, he looked at
the ring on his finger and hoped that it wasn't anything bad. He stood and went
to the fireplace and floo'd himself to Hogwarts to Albus' office. "Severus is
there something wrong?" Albus asked when Severus walked out of the fireplace.
"I will go with you and Sirius to pick up Harry" Severus said.
"Very well, we are going to go to pick him up tomorrow" Albus said.
"NO! We are going right now," Severus stated.
"We can't Sirius is not going to come until night" Albus answered. Severus
looked around before looking at Albus once again.
"Well fire call him and tell him to come now, I won't wait till tomorrow. I
know there is something wrong" Severus responded. Albus stood up quickly and
went to his cabinet and took out a mirror into which he said something in a low
voice.
"Albus is something wrong?"
"Sirius, you must come now. I'm afraid we can't wait till tomorrow to pick
Harry up" Albus said.
"What happen? Is something wrong with my godson?"
"We don't know yet, but come now" Albus replied before putting the mirror back
in the cabinet. Albus went to stand by Severus and not long after green flames
came to life in the fireplace. Sirius stepped out and was surprise to see
Severus.
"What happened?" Sirius asked.
"I have a bad feeling we must leave now," Severus said. The three wizards
stepped into the fireplace and floo'd to one of the houses in Harry's
neighborhood.
"Albus is that you?" an old woman's voice was heard.
"Yes I'm sorry for coming a day early but we must pick Harry up now. Please
excuse us," Albus said and at the woman's nod they walked out of the house and
towards a house in front of them. Severus felt something wrong and it seemed
that Sirius did as well because he transformed into his Animagus form and ran
towards the house. Severus and Albus walked faster and entered without warning.
"I smell blood," Sirius said with a growl. The three heard a noise that sounded
like sobbing coming from upstairs, so they headed in that direction. Severus
didn't wait or plan anything before opening the door where the soft sobs were
coming from. On the floor Harry lied sobbing and they could hear someone in his
bathroom.
"You go see who is in there Sirius, I'll check Harry" Severus said. Sirius
nodded and walked towards the bathroom. Severus approached Harry slowly as to
not scare him anymore. "Harry?" Severus questioned worried. Harry looked up at
him before fainting.
"Who are you and what do you want?!" Severus looked up to see a man being
dragged out of the bathroom by Sirius.
"How is Harry?" Sirius asked.
"Not to good, he was…"
"What?" Sirius asked when Severus stopped mid-sentence.
"He was…he was raped" Severus said a tear rolling down his face.
"What?" Severus looked towards the door frame were he found Albus more pale
then usual along with two women and a pre-teen.
"You will pay for what you have done," Severus said to the man Sirius was
holding. Severus pulled the blanket from the bed and covered Harry before
picking him up carefully. "Jasmine I need you to call the minister and tell him
that that man over there has committed one of the most unforgivable crimes. He
must pay, and if he doesn't pay I will make him pay by my own hand."
"Okay" She replied. Severus walked past them and towards the living room to use
the fireplace to floo to Hogwarts Hospital Wing.
Break Line
"Mr. Potter you will be taking advance classes in the afternoon's on Tuesdays
and Thursdays. This is your new schedule" Minerva said a day before school
started. Harry had become more distant and quieter since his aunt had found out
what his 'uncle' did to him. Harry grabbed his schedule and walked out of
Minerva's office in silence. So deep in thought Harry didn't notice someone
walking towards him and when he did it was a little to late. Harry backed away
and looked at the person he had run into, it was no other then the one that had
found out and helped him.
"Are you okay?" Severus asked. Harry stare at him but said nothing and just
walked away. Once in his rooms he sat down by the fireplace and stared into
space for a while. He then looked at his schedule. It looked as followed:
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays:
Defense Against the Dark Arts - Professor Lupin (2hours)
Charms - Professor Flitwick (1hour)
Transfiguration - Professor McGonagall (1hour)
Potions - Professor Snape (2hours)
Tuesdays and Thursdays Mornings:
Magical Creatures - Professor Hadgrid (2hours)
Divination - Professor Trelawney (1hour)
Tuesdays and Thursdays Afternoon:
Occlumecy and Legilimency - Professor/Headmaster Dumbledore (30min)
Dueling with and without wands - Professor Moody (1hour)
Advance Potions - Professor Snape (1 or 2hours)
Advance Defense Against the Dark Arts - Professor Lupin and Professor Black (1
to 1:30hours)
Harry smiled slightly and put his schedule away and went to sleep early that
day.
Break Line
Harry was sitting in the Great Hall reading a book. "Hello my name is Hermione
Granger," a girl with bushy brown hair said. Harry looked at her and went back
to his book.
"Hermione finally I found you…oh I see you are trying to talk with Harry Potter
again" Ron's voice came from behind her. Hermione turned to look at him and
nodded as Harry kept reading his book.
"Well um we will be going then bye Mr. Potter" Hermione said. Harry looked in
her direction once again and went back to reading his book in silence ignoring
everyone else that had turned to look at him.
Break Line
Severus was sitting in his office grading papers when Draco Malfoy entered
without knocking. "Sorry Professor but I have a message from father," the pre-
teen said.
"What happened?" Severus asked.
"The Dark Lord has sent a poison to kill Harry Potter" Draco said.
"When?" Severus asked.
"Tomorrow one of the students will offer something to Harry Potter" Draco said.
"Thank you for informing me, you may go" Severus said. Draco nodded and left
without saying anything. Severus stood after a while and left his office and
headed towards Albus' office to inform him
Break Line
The following morning Harry was eating his breakfast calmly when a blond girl
came up to him. "Hi my name is Alicia, and I would like to be your friend" the
girl said. Harry looked at her before going back to finish his breakfast.
"Um…this is for you" Alicia said pulling a chocolate out. Harry looked at her
and grabbed the chocolate and put it down next to his plate. Alicia smiled and
left without a word; Harry stood and snapped his fingers the chocolate burst
into flames before he walked away.
From the staff table Severus stare in surprise at Harry's talent. If he had
thought the teen was not to smart then he had changed his mind right at that
moment.
Break Line
Time flew by and Harry was sitting in a compartment on the train. He was
hopping no one would enter but was not too surprised when the girl and boy from
the last two years entered the compartment. What he didn't really expect was
that the Malfoy boy had come too.
"Hello Harry" Draco said. Harry didn't reply as usual.
"So Draco what will you be doing this summer?" Hermione asked not liking the
awkward silence that came every time Draco said something to Harry.
"I don't really know" Draco said sitting down next to Hermione. Harry looked
out the window and ignored them. He hoped that this time his 'uncle' was no
longer at his aunt's house. He really hoped that nothing happened to his aunts
and cousin. The train came to a stop and Harry was greeted by Petunia and
Dudley.
"Hi dear, I'm sorry I hadn't realized before. Vincent escaped when Mr. Snape
took you away to safety. There hasn't been any sign of him, but Mr. Dumbledore
said that he would find him soon. So you will be staying in the same room as
Dudley until then" Petunia said in a low tone. Harry nodded not convinced by
his aunt's words. He knew the man would do a lot of things to get to Harry once
again. For now he just hopped that the man was found.

Chapter_4_~_Fourth_Year
Harry was currently in the living room of his home. His aunt and cousin across
from him, he was looking at the photo he had taken of his real uncle when he
was six. His real uncle had been so proud of him, he put the photo back in its
place and picked up a book he had been reading. To deep in thought and not
really reading his book Harry didn't hear when his aunt called to him.
"Harry!"
Harry snapped his head up and looked at Dudley questioningly.
"Sorry mum called your name like five times. Come on we are going to the
store," Dudley said softly. Harry stood and nodded.
Break Line
Vincent was walking in the shadows towards his house where he would find what
'belonged' to him. He heard the front door open and watch as the 'precious' boy
walked out of the house with Petunia and Dudley Dursley. 'They probably will go
to the store, this is easier than what I thought' Vincent thought.
Break Line
Harry was waiting by the window for his aunt to pay for the things she had
bought. Dudley had gone to the restroom, so Harry was left standing alone.
Harry suddenly felt uneasy as he felt a familiar presence near. Harry began to
walk towards his aunt when a hand stopped him. He jumped and turned to look at
whom it was and his eyes filled with relief when he saw it was Severus Snape.
"Is something the matter Mr. Potter?" Severus asked.
'He's here' Harry said with his hands.
"I'm here to protect you and your family so don't worry just stay close by.
Jasmine will be coming to your house to stay, since she is a very powerful
witch like your father it will be safer if she stayed there" Severus said in a
low tone so only Harry could hear. Harry nodded and both waited by the window
for both Harry's relatives.
Jasmine was Harry's aunt from his dad's side of the famiy. She was very
powerful and was always looking after Harry when she was able to. She wasn't
allow to visit him when Petunia had remarried and Harry knew the reason behind
it. Even though no one used to know Harry had always hope that it had been
Jasmine Potter who found out what his 'uncle' did to him.
Break Line
Vincent watched as a tall man went up to 'his' boy when he began to walk
towards him. He was furious no one should go near 'his' boy at all. He stopped
noticing that the man was no ordinary man but the one that had discovered him.
The one that had taken the boy away from his pleasures. Vincent angrily turned
and left in the shadows to wait for the perfect moment to get what he wanted.
He would get 'his' boy back.
Break Line
Harry sat once again in the living room of his home. It had been a month since
Jasmine had come to stay at their home. She was currently sitting across from
him reading a book while Dudley watch TV in the other room and Petunia was
cooking. Harry had felt happy because Jasmine was there, he felt safe but not
as safe as he had felt when that man, Severus Snape, was near. He felt even
safer when the man was near. Harry sighed and looked at the photo of his real
uncle smiling.
"Harry, dear is something wrong?" Jasmine asked looking at Harry with worry.
Harry shook his head negatively. Jasmine smiled, nodded, and went back to
reading.
Break Line
Severus was ready to go pick up Harry that day; it had been a month since he
had seen his beloved and he hoped to see him smile once again and fast. He had
done everything that had to be done for the summer. Harry was going to stay at
Snape Manor this summer and he had cleaned a room himself. Of course near his
so he could keep a close eye on the young man. He looked at the ring on his
finger and just hoped that Lily and James had done right in doing what they had
done. It had scared him to even think about…
"Severus it is time to go" Albus' soft voice said cutting through his thoughts.
"I'm ready" Severus said. Albus nodded and both floo'd to the house in front of
Harry's'.
"Albus is that you?" The same voice of an old lady came.
"Yes its me, we came to pick Harry up. Thanks for letting us come through here"
Albus said.
"Its no problem, anything to help keep that young man safe" the old lady said.
Albus nodded and bowed his head slightly towards the old lady before leaving
with Severus to Harry's house. Once there, Severus knocked and both wizards
waited for the door to open.
"Severus, Albus you're here. Please enter, I'll call Harry, he's in the living
room" Jasmine said smiling. Severus didn't wait and just entered the living
room. The sight that he saw made his smile slightly. His smile didn't go
unnoticed by the other two and both knew that Lily and James had done the right
thing.
"Mr. Potter" Severus said softly. Harry looked up at the familiar voice and
sighed in relief. He had wanted for this month to end even if he wished to stay
with his aunts and cousin he had wished the man in front of him to visit at
least.
"Harry, you are staying with Severus for the rest of the summer," Albus said
softly. Harry looked at the old man and nodded. Petunia entered at that moment
and seeing Albus and Severus she smiled.
"Well Harry why don't you go with Dudley to get your things ready to leave.
We'll see you next summer like always," Petunia said. Harry nodded and both him
and Dudley went upstairs. Severus never taking his eyes off Harry, he would do
anything to have Harry talk once again. Even if it meant to stop spying for
Albus.
Not long after the three wizards were going towards the living room fireplace
to floo away. Everything seemed so quiet at the place Harry had arrive, he
stepped out of the fireplace with Severus and Albus behind him. The living room
was filled with black furniture giving it a mysterious look. He looked towards
Severus and waited for the man to speak.
"You'll be staying in a room next to mine, I'll show you the house tomorrow so
you know how to get around here. This is for you, if you need something blow it
and Dobby my most trustworthy elf will come to help you" Severus said calmly.
'Thank you' Harry said with his hands. Severus nodded and he began to walk
towards the door.
"I'll be leaving then, have a good day my children" Albus said smiling. Severus
and Harry nodded and the old wizard floo'd away.
Break Line
The summer had gone by faster then what he had wanted it to. Harry was walking
towards Minerva McGonagalls' office to get his schedule for this year. He had
passed all his classes so he predicted it would be the same as last year except
that it would be a year more. Harry sighed and kept walking to the office, once
there he knocked on the door and waited. The door opened by itself and Harry
entered, he looked at the witch behind the desk.
"Mr. Potter this is your schedule. Congratulations for passing all your classes
with Exciting marks" Minerva said smiling. Harry nodded and once handed his
schedule he left without a word. To deep in thought he didn't notice the people
walking opposite his direction. When he did it was a little too late, he jumped
backwards once again not apologizing.
"Are you okay?" A familiar girl's voice asked with concern. Harry looked at the
person he had run into and noticed it was Ron, Hermione, and Draco. The ones
that had been trying to be his friends since the first year in this school.
Harry looked away and began to walk away once again. Once he was in his room he
sighed in relief and looked at his schedule he had Professor Snape every day.
Break Line
"Times up" Severus said. The holidays were near and they were currently taking
their final exam in Severus' class. They had to make a hard potion and Severus
knew that out of all his students in fourth year probably only four people
would get it right. He watched as Harry bottled his potion and began to clean
up. He watched as all the students began to walk up to his desk to put the
potion on his desk. He knew Harry would be last he always was, cleaning before
turning in his work. As the last three students that were Draco, Hermione, and
Ron walked to their desk Harry grabbed his potion and walked up to the desk and
put the potion in the middle of Severus desk as always.
The bell rang for the end of the class and everyone cleared out. Severus
watched as Harry took his time putting his things away, not in a hurry. Once
Harry was done he nodded curtly towards Severus and left without a word.
Severus nodded back even though Harry didn't see it. For the past three and a
half months Harry was the last to leave his class nodded towards him and leave
without a word.
'I'm going crazy here' Severus thought as his class began to refill with older
students.
Break Line
Holidays came and went same as the year before, but Harry didn't mind, as he
would see his aunts and cousin. He would go back to Snape Manor and he would
come back to the school. He was worried though because he didn't want Vincent
to do something to his family or him. He was scared even if he showed no
emotion to the others. As he went on the train he looked out the window. Same
as the previous years Ron and Hermione came into his compartment, followed by
Draco Malfoy.
"Hello Harry" Draco said. Harry looked at him and went back to look out the
window. He was not allow to have friends, his 'uncle' had forbidden him. If he
made any friends that crazy man would hurt them. The train came to a stop and
Harry stepped down and was greeted by his two aunts and cousin.
"Dear was everything alright?" Petunia and Jasmine asked at the same time.
Harry nodded with a smile; it had been a long time since his two aunts asked
the same question at the same time.

Chapter_5_-_Year_5_(Part_1)
Harry was sitting in his room; it had been three weeks since the summer
holidays had began. He was thinking what had occurred during the previous year,
as he didn't understand anything any more. He knew that he was feeling
something for the one person that had been protecting him but he didn't know
what. He suddenly stood up feeling that someone familiar was near his home. He
ran down stairs to find his two aunts talking in the living room while Dudley
watched TV.
"GE is something wrong?" Dudley asked when he saw that his cousin looked pale.
Before he could nod, a knock was heard from the front door and Harry paled even
more. Jasmine noticing this stood and went to open the door with her wand
ready.
"What is your wish?" Jasmine asked. Harry didn't hear a reply but knew the
person had answered. "Well sorry mister but I'm going to sadly tell you that we
were waiting for you to take you to Azkaban for doing what you did to Harry"
Jasmine said waving her hand and Harry knew what she had done.
"GE come lets go upstairs you don't have to see him ever again" Dudley said
when he noticed Harry relax a little. Harry only nodded and let himself be
guided upstairs to his room once again.
Break Line
Severus was sitting in his living room going trough papers when he saw the
flames of his fireplace turn green. "Severus are you there?"
"Yes, Jasmine what is it?" Severus said going to stand in front of the
fireplace.
"We have captured Vincent" Jasmine replied.
"I'm on my way" Severus said and Jasmine nodded before disappearing in the
flames. Severus grabbed floo powder and floo'd himself to Albus Dumbledore's'
office.
"Severus, is something the matter?" The cheerful old wizard's voice questioned.
"Yes, Jasmine has captured Vincent Dursley. I came here because I know that if
I go alone no one will be able to stop me from killing that bastard" Severus
said with anger in his voice. Albus nodded and both floo'd to the house in
front of Harry's' before walking out and to the house in front of them. Once
there they knock, they waited for Jasmine to open the door.
"I knew you would come fast, he's in the living room," Jasmine told them.
Severus didn't need to be told twice; he entered the living room and watched as
Petunia slapped the guy across the face many times.
"That's enough Petunia" Severus said. The woman turned to look at him and
nodded. Severus took out his wand and reversed the spell that Jasmine had used.
"Now you will listen to me Vincent Dursley, what is about to happen to you is
because you have hurt someone that you should not have even touched" Severus
began with a venomous tone.
"All of you are going to pay for this!" Vincent screamed. The door suddenly
opened and all occupants except Severus turned to look at who it was. He didn't
need to look to see who it was.
"I would have used many spells to make you pay, but it seems that I can't do it
while the minister is here now, can I? Just remember this, where you are going
it's going to be your worst memory before going to the other life. I'll make
sure that you don't ever get out of there," Severus said coldly sending chills
up and down everyone's spine.
"Thank you for that speech Mr. Snape, we will be taking him now. What he has
done to Mr. Potter is unforgettable and he will pay. He will go directly to
Azkaban with no trial," the minister said. Severus nodded and let the Aurors
take the man away, before he killed him.
Break Line
Harry looked out the window to see his 'uncle' being drag away to a spot before
they disappeared completely. Harry rush down stairs to find Severus sitting on
the couch he would usually sat on. Harry neared him as the others watched him
closely and tried not to move so as to not startle the boy-no not the boy but
the young man. Harry reached out carefully to Severus Snape who had his head in
his hands. When he touched him, the man looked up to find him.
"Mr. Potter, I thought you were upstairs?" Severus said softly. Harry smiled
slightly and offered his hand to Severus who took it willingly. Harry began to
walk to the back door. Out of the corner of his eyes he noticed the man looked
at his Aunt Petunia, who seemed to have nodded at something. Once outside Harry
showed the man a small garden of red and white roses. "This is beautiful. Did
you do this?" Severus said. Harry nodded proudly and Severus smiled at him.
Harry felt that the smile Severus was giving him was melting his insides but
didn't understand why.
Break Line
The summer had finally come to an end and Harry was once again in Professor
McGonagall's office getting his new schedule of the year. Harry grabbed the
parchment and looked at it, he waved his hand and Professor McGonagall's quill
began to scribble something before he left. Concentrating on his schedule he
didn't heard his name being called. He suddenly ran into someone once again and
as always jumped backwards.
"Sorry, the headmaster is looking for you" the girl that he guessed was named
was Hermione said. Harry nodded his thanks and walked to the office, not
knowing how he would enter. He had to say the password right? But he didn't
talk so how was he going to enter?
"I presume you are Mr. Potter?"
Harry looked at the statue and nodded, not long after the statue moved to the
side letting him pass by. Harry gave the statue a curt nod and climbed the
stairs. Once he in front of the door he knocked and waited. "Come in" came a
cheerful reply. Harry entered and found Professor Snape situated to the
Headmaster's left.
"Please sit Mr. Potter" Severus said. Harry sat down and waited for one of the
older man to speak.
"This year is going to be a special one because another two schools are coming
to compete with our best students. You, Mr. Malfoy, and Ms. Granger are in the
competition against six other students from two different schools. I have
called you because I would like to know if you wish to continue your classes or
take the exam in two days to get a grade for that class" the Headmaster said.
Harry waved his hand and the old man's quill came to life and began to scribble
something.
"I_wish_to_continue_my_afternoon_classes_during_the_week,_but_wish_to_take_the
exams_for,_my_other_classes_if_that's_okay."
"Of course it's okay Mr. Potter. It's settled then you will be taking the exams
in two days and you will continue your afternoon classes" Headmaster Dumbledore
said. Harry nodded. "You are also welcome to invite your family, would you like
that?" Harry nodded at the old man's question.
"Very well, I'll go pick up your family after you have taken the exams and they
will be near your quarters" Severus said. Harry nodded once again to both men.
"You may leave" Headmaster Dumbledore said. Harry stood and with one last curt
nod left the room. As he walked to his private room he went over what had just
happened.
Break Line
Severus and Albus stayed in silence after Harry had left. "He is very powerful
if he was able to do something not even you could" Severus said to Albus after
a while.
"Indeed Severus. He learns fast," Albus said with a smile.
"Yes, and he is even able to do things not even you could or can" Severus said
still staring at the door.
"What do you mean Severus?" Albus asked looking at the man.
"Bring your pensive and I'll show you what I mean," Severus said. Albus curious
about what Severus would show him summoned his pensive. Severus tapped his wand
to his temple and let the memory he had collected drop in the pensive. "Shall
we?" Severus said. Albus nodded and both entered the pensive.
-Memory-
Severus and Albus landed in the Professor's room. Albus noticed that the black
haired man was grading some essays when his door was suddenly thrown open.
"Black! Lupin! What is the meaning of this?" Memory Severus asked coldly.
"We came to show you that what we said is true. Please Mr. Potter come in"
Lupin said. Memory Severus looked surprised for a moment but hid it fast. Albus
looked to his side to see Severus Snape shake his head a little.
"What you are about to see Albus is shocking" Severus said to the old man.
Albus nodded and knowing that if Severus was surprised so will he be.
"Mr. Potter would you please produce four Patronous?" Black said.
"That's imp-" Memory Severus began but stopped abruptly when four silver lights
came out of the young's man hand.
"Hey this is new lets see what we have here" Lupin said looking at the figures
closely.
"Hey Remus look it's a Stag, a Dove, a Dog, and a Wolf" Black said jumping up
and down like a little kid. Then two more silver lights came out.
"Hmm…oh look it's an Eagle and a Falcon" Lupin said.
-End of Memory-
Albus and Severus landed in the office once again. Severus noticed that his
mentor looked more surprised than what he had. "Told you he could do things not
even you could or can" Severus said.
"Yes indeed. Well we will have to prepare now," Albus said. Severus nodded and
left the office in silence.
Break Line
Harry, Hermione, and Draco were currently in the Great Hall along with all the
other students waiting for the arrival of their guests. The doors were suddenly
opened and girls came in dancing as a representation of their school. Then boys
came in making tricks as a representation of their school. Harry didn't look
surprised nor seem to show interest in anything.
"Welcome to our school Igor Karkaroff and Madame Olympe Maxime" Dumbledore
said.
"Thank you for letting us come here" the tall wizard that Harry knew to be the
Headmaster of the boys said.
"It's a pleasure to have you here. I have my three students that will
participate in the three competitions," Dumbledore said motioning to the Harry,
Hermione, and Draco.
"Good I have mine as well," the tall witch that Harry knew to be the
Headmistress of the girls said.
"Please introduce yourselves," Albus said. Three girls and three boys stepped
forwards from each side.
"My name is Fleur Delacour, this is my sister Marge Delacour, and this is my
friend Florean Fortescue. My Headmistress Madame Olympe Maxime" the elder of
the girls said. Harry looked at each of them before looking away.
"My name is Viktor Krum; these are my brothers Anthony and Terry Krum. My
Headmaster Igor Karkaroff" the elder of the boys said. Harry once again looked
at them but said nothing.
"My name is Draco Malfoy; this is Hermione Granger, and Harry Potter. My
Headmaster Albus Dumbledore" Draco said. The other six nodded in recognition
but said nothing.
"Well our first competition is in a week after breakfast. All of you are
dismissed" Albus said.
Break Line
The week had gone by fast for Harry; the first competition would begin in a
bout half an hour and he was eating calmly. He noticed that Draco Malfoy and
Hermione Granger couldn't stop moving from one side to the other. He had been
proud to know that he had passed his exams with high grades. He kept eating
with no worry at all. He looked up at the Head Table and locked eyes with
Severus Snape who gave him a curt nod. Harry returned the nod and went back to
eating.
"Okay its time for us to head to the Quidditch Field" Albus said standing up.
Harry stood up along with the other students and began to walk to the field.
Once everyone was there Harry noticed that the field had been changed. "Okay,
the first competition consists of getting to the other side of the field first.
Where you'll have to find three diaries. Each has the letter of your school and
the first letter of your name. Once everyone is back with the book in your
hands the game is over," Albus explain shortly.
"Okay" All the competitors except Harry said. Albus nodded and the game began.
No one could use a broom or a wand so they had to run. The first one to go out
from Harry's team was Hermione Granger, then it would be Draco Malfoy and
finally Harry.
After what seemed like hours Harry's turn to go was up, Draco had taken long to
come back. Harry ran at such a high speed that it surprised everyone at how
fast he could run. The other two comparators were already running back. Harry
looked at the stack of books in front of him; he noticed that all of them were
the same color. He nodded twice and reached into the third pile and took out
two books, he nodded again and began to ran back to the other side of the
field. He noticed that Draco and Hermione looked surprised as he stopped in
front of them, he show Draco the book.
"Times up!" Severus screamed. He looked at the other two compotators that had
been frozen on the spot. They were at about the same level just a couple of
feet from the finish line. "First place to Headmaster Dumbledore's team, Second
place to Headmistress Madame Olympe Maxime, and Third place to Headmaster
Karkaroff" Severus said still surprised that his…
"You may all go rest now; inside the book is a code that the three of you have
to figure out so it can help you in the second task.

"Inside the book is a code that the three have to figure out so you can
continue the second task. You are all excused" Albus Dumbledore said. Severus
watched as Harry left with his family, he wanted to go join them. To join his…
"Severus, I need more potions for the infirmary" Poppy's voice came
interrupting his train of thought.
"Just send me the list of the potions you need and I'll work on them" Severus
said to the med-witch. Once she nodded he left for his rooms to be alone, like
the past 15 years have passed since James and Lily died.
Break Line
Harry entered his room with his cousin and two aunts. He hadn't been able to
spend time with them because of his classes and homework. They had said it was
fine that they would just go outside and look around so he could work in peace.
Now he didn't have any homework. "Honey this is a well decorated room, did you
do it?" Petunia said once everyone was sitting.
"It's like this, the student is allowed to change things, but I see Harry
doesn't wish to do that" Jasmine said. Harry just nodded and Petunia just gave
an 'oh' as a reply.
"GE, I didn't know that you had a lot of books" Dudley said as he looked at a
shelf near a black door. Harry didn't say anything and just stared at it, he
smiled at his cousin shyly making the other three laugh.
"You don't have to be embarrassed or shy about it. I remember being like you, I
had books every where" Jasmine said.
"I used to save my sister's books. That way every time she left the house for
school I was able to have something of her to remember. When she turned 17 she
was happy, then James came to our house to ask for my sister's hand in
marriage. I was glad and sad at the news" Petunia said.
"Why sad?" Dudley asked.
"Sad because it meant that she would leave soon and happy because I knew James
was perfect for her" Petunia responded. Harry smiled at her once again. The
rest of the time before lunch started Petunia told Harry and the others about
the things Lily and her did during the break.
Break Line
Severus was working on the potions Poppy had asked him for the past five hours.
He had missed lunch but he didn't care, he had to finish the potions. As he
bottled the last potion a knock on his door was heard. "Come in" he said
carelessly as he put the last bottle away.
"I found you." Severus turned at Jasmine's voice and looked at her for a
moment.
"Please sit and tell me, what's your business here?" Severus said knowing the
witch wouldn't take it offensively.
"I see you haven't change" Jasmine said with a smile.
"Why would I?" Severus questioned his friend of many years.
"I know that Harry is your…" Jasmine was interrupted by another knock on the
door.
"Not a word of what you were about to say to anyone" Severus said to Jasmine
before opening the door. "Albus."
"Severus I must talk to you about the next task" Albus said.
"I'll go to your office once I'm done here" Severus said. Albus nodded and left
knowing that Severus needed to do what ever he was going to do alone. Once
Severus closed the door he turned to Jasmine.
Break Line
Night has fallen and Harry is currently lying on his bed. He didn't want to
close his eyes, he wasn't tired. He wanted to know why Professor Severus Snape
seemed to always be observing him. It was as if the man wanted to tell him
something but couldn't, and that was keeping him up. He closed his eyes and
before he knew it he had fallen asleep peacefully.
Break Line
The following morning Harry woke up, got ready, and went to eat breakfast with
his aunts and cousin. Once they were sitting he noticed that students of his
school surrounded all the competitors from the other schools. The only ones
that weren't surrounding them were the Wesley's, the Malfoy boy, and the
Granger girl. He ate in silence as always as his aunts talked to each other and
Dudley talked to a girl that had walked up to him. As he was finishing he saw
two people going up to him.
"Hi, Harry as you know we have to figure out the code inside the books
together. Would you like to start now or later?" Draco Malfoy asked. Harry
looked around for a moment when he spotted what he was looking for he summon
them and wave his hand.
"Now_if_it's_okay."
"Of course, we'll wait for you near the lake" Draco Malfoy said. Harry nodded
and the other two left.
"Harry, you do know you don't have to worry about Vincent right?" Jasmine said
looking at her nephew. Harry nodded and stood up, he nodded at his two aunts
and left to the lake to help his two partners with the code that he was sure
would be an easy one.
Break Line
Albus sat in his office with a smile on his face. He knew that no matter how
Severus tried to hide it. It would be news in the near future. He had to send
Harry to Snape Manor this summer like he did when the boy was in his fourth
year. "He will find out Severus and you will be the one that tells him" the old
wizard said in a soft low tone.
Break Line
Harry found Hermione and Draco at the lake like the blond had said. He walked
up to them in silence. "Hi Harry, glad you came" Hermione said smiling at the
boy. Harry just nodded but didn't smile back.
"What we have so far is this here, you can read it" Draco said giving Harry one
of the three books. Harry grabbed it and read the page Draco had shown him.
Is_inside_you_and_you_might_not_want_to_know_about_it._It's_connected_to_you
but_you_might_not_want_to_know_what_or_who_it_is._You_need_to_know_what's_the
mystery_that_is_hided_behind_that_you_can_see.
Harry looked thoughtful for a moment before asking for the other parts to the
blond with his hands. Draco gave him Hermione's book and the girl showed him
the page where she found out the small clue.
You_might_be_wondering_what_I_am._You_will_find_out_when_it's_less_predictable.
You_might_want_to_know_if_it's_real._So,_I'll_tell_you_just_have_faith_because
it_will_happen._You_might_want_to_see_it,_but_it_doesn't_work_like_that.
'Where's mine?' Harry asked with his hands. Draco took out the last notebook
and gave it to Harry who opened it at the middle. He began to read the
paragraph there, it was as follows.
Once_you_thought_it_wouldn't_work,_but_now_you_know_it's_different._I_have
found_something_that_you_want_and_the_only_way_to_have_it_is_by_finding_me._You
know_where_I_am._You_know_who_I_am._You_know_what_it_is_that_you_want;_now_it's
your_turn_to_find_me_once_again.
Harry smiled suddenly surprising the other two. He motioned them to go near him
and pointed at his paragraph. "You want to put them together?' Hermione asked.
Harry nodded.
"But it won't make sense" Draco said.
'We have to find a way it will make sense.' Harry said with his hands. Draco
nodded and told Hermione what Harry had said. She might be smart but only few
knew how to talk with their hands fluently and understood longer sentences.
Once Hermione nodded the three began to work on the passages. They put it on a
different parchment and began to put them in different orders.
Break Line
Severus watch from his window as Harry, Hermione, and Draco work. He smiled
something no one saw. He kept watching them for three hours until he saw Ronald
go up to them. He watched as the three tried to get Harry to go with them but
he just shook his head and headed back to the castle. Perhaps to go with his
family. After the four said their good byes, Severus made sure Harry entered
the castle safely. Once he was sure he took out a book and began to read.
Break Line
It was dinnertime when Albus decided to announce when the next task was.
Everyone was eating when he stood up, and call for order. Once he had
everyone's attention he cleared his throat. "The next task will be in November,
and after the holiday break the third task will be taking place. I just want
all participates to know that they had only one month. Now go get some rest,
for tomorrow most of the students will have classes" the old wizard said his
eyes landing on Harry.
"Albus are you sure it will be wise. What about the Yule Ball?" Minerva said
when the students began to walk out of the Great Hall.
"It will take place on December 20, and the students will have plenty of time
to practice. I know they will learn fast" Albus said to the witch with a smile
as the last student part from the Great Hall. With a wave of his hand all the
tables were clear and clean. "Good night everyone" Albus said to the members of
the staff.
"Good night" the rest said and all left to their rooms.
Break Line
Time went by fast for Harry, November was in two days and in two days he would
have the next task along with the other two. He had spent a lot of time with
them, but he still didn't felt safe to be their friend. He kept pushing them
away and still show no interest in wanting to be with them. He kept his
distance and made them think that he was only with them because of the tasks
they had to complete. 'I'm sorry but if I don't do it. I'm afraid he will come
back and hurt you guys. I'm afraid he'll hurt those that I get near to.'
"Mr. Potter is something the matter?" Harry looked up at Severus. He was
currently in his Advance Potion class. Harry shook his head, Severus didn't
look convince but let it go and Harry was grateful for that. "Well we are
almost done here. This is your last project before your final exam. I hope you
pass with exiting marks as always" Severus said.
'Of course Professor' Harry said with his hands.
"Good to know, you are dismiss. Rest well that you have a busy day ahead of
you" Severus said. Harry nodded his thanks and left after cleaning his area. He
went to his rooms, took a shower, and went to sleep after saying his good
nights to his aunts and cousin.
Break Line
Severus stood in the great hall along with the rest of the school. The second
task was that day and he didn't know what would happen, he knew Harry would do
great but he didn't know if the young wizard along with the other two had
figure out the code. To Severus it seemed more like a riddle.
"Dear Students, today is the second task and in order for all participates to
continue they must tell us the code in private. First Ms. Delacour's team"
Albus said. Fleur stepped forward and gave a piece of parchment where her
group's answer was written down to Albus; who unfolded it and read it in
silence. He nodded his approval. "Mr. Krum" the old wizard said. Viktor did the
same as Fleur and waited there. Albus once again nodded his approval. "Mr.
Malfoy" Albus said lastly. Draco stepped forward. He read the answered and his
eyes widen in surprise.
Severus didn't know what to think, he didn't know if it was a good sign or a
bad sign. "Headmaster Dumbledore is something the matter?" Severus heard Draco
asked.
"Who wrote the answer down?" Albus asked and Severus only got more nervous even
though he didn't show it.
"Harry, but we all three contribute it to the answer. Why, sir?" Draco asked.
"You three got the exact answer" Albus said giving the small parchment to the
other headmaster and the headmistress whose eyes widen as well. "Severus please
read the note," Albus said to the black-hair wizard. Severus stepped forward as
the Headmistress handed him the note.
"'The_one_thing_I_want_and_I_need_to_find_is_the_one_thing_that_will_never_be

pale knowing who the code refer to.
"Thank you, Severus it is now time to began the next task" Albus said. He led
everyone to the Quidditch Field. Once everyone was in the field they noticed
nine different boxes. The champions were taken inside a tent where Severus
stepped forward to explain what was to be done.
"In this task each will fight a different creature that will be protecting a
golden egg. You need that egg in order to go to the next and final task. Each
team must have three eggs when the final contestant comes back. Not only that,
you will be time and the team with the less time will win first place. Now you
are about to see with what creature you are against. Mr. Malfoy's team first"
Severus said.
Draco, Harry, and Hermione neared the bag. Out of the three only Harry looked
okay, and Severus just hope it wasn't because of what the young wizard had gone
through. He watched as Draco put his hand inside the bag, he grabbed something.
The blond wizard took out his hand and noticed it was a small yellowish dragon.
Next was Hermione, she put her hand carefully inside the bag. She grab
something and took it out, Severus almost smile. She had gotten one of the
easiest ones, a handsome black-hair male centaur, and a creature the girl could
convince with her mind.
"Wait" Albus said suddenly before Harry could put his hand inside the bag.
"Is something the matter Headmaster?" Karkadoff asked.
"I was thinking if it's okay with Mr. Potter, why not the other students choose
their creature first" Albus said. Severus almost sight in relief, it was a good
chance one of the other six would get the…
"What do you say Mr. Potter?" Karkadoff asked getting Severus attention back to
see what Harry's answer would be. The black-hair wizard locked eyes with Harry,
when the young wizard turned to the others once again he nodded. "Okay, if
that's what you wish. Madam, you first" the tall wizard said.
Fleur, Marge, and Florean stepped forward. Each stick their hand inside,
Severus hadn't really seen what they had gotten as he watch Harry petting the
small creatures in Hermione and Draco's hands. He seemed so care free as if he
had forgotten what had happen to him at the Dursley's house.
When he looked back at the competitors he noticed that Viktor, Anthony, and
Terry had stepped forward. As each stick their hands inside Severus looked at
the small creatures in the girls hands. One of them, Fleur to be precise had
gotten the other dragon. There were three total each for a team if lucky. He
looked at the other girls, Fleur's sister; Marge had gotten the riddle creature
while the other girl had gotten another easy creature. A Dark Elf, a royal one,
Severus smiled mentally as he remembered how he had convinced the elf to please
participate in the competition at Hogwarts.
He turned to the competitors in Mr. Krum's team, the oldest of the three had
gotten the last dragon it wasn't a dangerous one and it was easy to pass
through without fighting if you knew how to. The other had gotten the tiger/
human creature. Severus had taken time to convince that one too. It looked
pretty at simple sight but if you knew better you better have brains to pass
through the tiger/human creature. He looked at the youngest of the three and
saw that he had gotten the last easy creature of all, a female centaur. The
creature was beautiful, she was the male centaur's mate and Severus had really
taken his time to trick them into the competition. It turned to a challenge
that then turn into pack between Severus and the pair. His eyes almost widen at
the realization of what was the last creature.
Harry stepped forward and Severus almost took the bag away from him. Harry lock
eyes with him again and Severus knew that the young wizard was smart and would
be able to do anything in just a matter of seconds or minutes. Severus watch as
the young wizard put his hand inside; he grabbed the last creature of all and
took out his hand…

Chapter_7_-_Year_5_(Part_3)
Severus watched as the young wizard stuck his hand inside, he grabbed the last
creature of all and took out his hand but it wasn't one it was two creatures in
his hand, everyone gasped as they figured out what the creatures were. It was a
demantor, which was easy to take down, and a black basilisk the most dangerous
of all in the magical world. Severus didn't remember ever putting those
creatures in the bag. He looked at Albus and noticed that the other three
elders were surprised as well. The two creatures Harry had in his hand weren't
suppose to be in that competition. Someone had done something.
"Judges circle" Albus said. Severus, Karkadoff, Madam Olympe, Albus and other
two wizards (which were Fudge and an Auror) made a circle away from the
competitors.
"Why does Mr. Potter have two creatures?" Fudge asked.
"I don't know the last creature is suppose to be a you-know-what, and I made
sure of that" Severus said.
"So that is probably that we are seeing two creatures against him. He probably
is scared of those two creatures and sense the you-know-what didn't know what
to choose he became two" Fudge said reasonably.
"Probably, why don't you ask him to put it in the bag, and then we will see
what we can do" Albus said to Severus.
"He won't back down, if that's what you are expecting Albus. Jasmine said that
once he knows what his against he won't back down unless is necessary. This is
not a necessary situation" Severus said as the Auror that Severus finally
recognize as Jasmine's fiancé nodded.
"Very well, then lets begin the competition" Albus said softly. The judges
separate and went to back with the competitors. "Each of your creatures has a
number, and according to that number you'll go. Ms. Granger once the…" Albus
was cut off by the canyon going off. Albus hurried Hermione out and all the
judges followed close behind. Severus already timing the girl.
After what seemed like forever Severus noticed there was only two more
competitors left. Marge and Harry, it was the girl's turn to go, he began the
time once the girl began to walk to the maze that was created to make it more
challenging to the competitors. As time passed Severus looked at the sky, it
would be midday in just a couple of hours. He looked at the girl in the middle
of the maze from above, she was currently in front of the riddle creature. The
creature began to disappear and Severus knew the girl had gotten the riddle
faster then what was predicted.
Now it was Harry's turn, he recorded the time of the girl as he had done with
the others and waited for Harry to began. The canyon went off and the time
began to run. Severus watched as Harry went through the maze with out
difficulty, he went from one side to the other not once making a single
mistake. It was as if the young wizard knew the whole maze, he came to a stop.
Severus watch as the demantor ahead waited calmly. A silver light was seen and
Harry proceeded. Severus watch as the silver light formed into a Falcon, the
same Patronous as his. He kept watching, the Silver Falcon went through the
demantor that disappeared.
Then came the basilisk and Severus watched ready to dive in, in case of danger.
He watched as the basilisk went down all the way and the young wizard mount on
it. Severus watch in amusement, when they arrived at the golden egg Severus
looked at the time. He didn't stop it yet though, as the basilisk put Harry
down. The black creature was about to attack the young wizard when a red spell
was seen and the creature transformed into a small toy. The young wizard
grabbed the egg and Severus stopped the time.
He flew down to the other judges and gave them the stop timer. The time
recorded was 00:01:01:00 not even the fastest creature was that quick in a mile
circle. He looked at the field to find the young wizard petting the black
basilisk as if the creature didn't almost attacked him.
"Gentlemen and madam, let's add the time of each team to see who is in first
place" Albus said finally getting out of the shock. The others nodded and the
time began to be added.
"The final scores is as follows. In first place Mr. Krum's team with 18 minutes
and 09 seconds. In second place Mr. Malfoy's team with 19 minutes and 21
seconds. In last place Ms. Delacour's team with 25 minutes and 15 seconds.
"Now for the competitors alone, in 9th place came Ms. Fleur Delacour's with 10
minutes and 9 seconds. In 8th place came Mr. Draco Malfoy with 10 minutes and 8
seconds; in 7th place came Ms. Florean Fortescue with 9 minutes and 2 seconds.
In 6th place came Ms. Hermione Granger with 8 minutes and 12 seconds. In 5th
place came Mr. Terry Krum with 7 minutes and 3 seconds, in 4th place came Ms.
Mange Delacour's with 6 minutes and 4 seconds. In 3rd place came Mr. Anthony
Krum with 6 minutes and 3 second, in 2nd came Mr. Viktor Krum with 5 minutes
and 3 seconds. Finally in 1st place came Mr. Harry Potter with 1 minute and 1
second" Severus said calmly.
"It's almost time for lunch, and I'm sure the competitors would like to rest a
little before eating. Same as the book, all three participates have to figure
out a code in the egg. The final task will take place after the holidays break,
I also ask that all students and visitors to be in the Great Hall during
dinnertime. There is an announcement that must be made. Until then you are
dismissed" Albus said standing up. Everyone began to clear the field, Severus
looked at Harry and noticed that the basilisk had disappeared as the other
creatures had.
He watched as Jasmine, Petunia, and his cousin Dudley hugged him. He smiled
mentally and left to his rooms.
Break Line
Harry walk to is rooms with his aunts and cousin. The four entered the small
common room and sat around the fireplace. As Petunia and Jasmine began to talk
Dudley read a book to Harry as he laid his head on his Aunt Petunia's lap.
Harry began to remember once again and Dudley stayed quiet, for he knew when
his cousin was listening and when he wasn't.
"Does he remembers things often?" Jasmine asked Dudley when she didn't hear him
talk any more.
"After Vincent was taken away, he seems more out of this world. As if he is
free to remember what he wants" Dudley reply still looking at his cousin.
"Why did you stop?" Harry suddenly asked with his hands and Dudley smiled at
him.
"Sorry, I got distracted." Dudley lied before he began to read the book in his
hands once again. He knew that Harry would feel bad if he said that he wouldn't
had listen if he kept reading because he was out of this world once again.
"…and when the young wizard came back to his home he knew that everything would
be okay." Dudley finished reading the last page of the 5th chapter when Harry
had fallen asleep two hours later.
"He really must have wasted a lot of energy if he is this tired" Jasmine said
as a house elf appeared silently and giving them fruit salad and some
sandwiches for lunch. A knock on the door was heard and Dudley stood up to
open.
"Good afternoon is Mr. Potter here?" Dudley nodded at the wizard that he knew
was Severus Snape. He had seen the man many times now and he was sure to
recognize him even if the man put a mask on.
"Yes, he's sleeping; would you like to enter?" Dudley said.
"No, I just came to give him this. He forgot it in my class two days ago, I
thought he would go for it but he didn't. Would you please give it to him?"
Severus said.
"I would Mr. Snape, but that was made for you during the summer. He told me he
was going to give it to you in his first day of school, but it seems he forgot
after the first task and remembered to give it to you on the last class you two
had together" Dudley said as he recognize the wood Harry had spend his time on
after Severus had left during the summer.
"I didn't know, well than would you please tell him thank you for me?" Severus
said putting the small wood away in his robes.
"I'll tell him you came, and that you asked for him to go to your office so you
can thank him properly if that's okay" Dudley said.
"Yes please, and thank you" Severus said. Dudley watch as the man left in
silence. He walked just like Harry, as if the man wasn't touching the floor at
all. He enters the small common room and went to his aunt and mom's side once
again. He watched as Harry still slept, a peaceful look on his face.
"Who was it dear?" Petunia asked.
"It was Mr. Snape, he came to thank Harry for the present he made him during
the summer" Dudley said. Petunia nodded and went back to talking with Jasmine
as Harry slept peacefully.
Break Line
Dinnertime came and Severus sat in the head table watching as Harry ate with
his family. He would have wished to be there but no one could know, not yet. He
looked around and found Draco, Hermione, and Ronald talking on a table close to
Harry. It was as if the blond and his friends were protecting him from the
other students. He watch as Draco said something to a girl from Madam Olympe's
school. The seemed to nod in understanding and disappointment at whatever Draco
had told her.
He looked around the head table and found that the tall witch had a frown on
her face when her student had walked away. Albus stood up than, and everything
fell to silence. "Christmas is coming up next month, and is a tradition that
with every competition a Yule Ball is held. All competitors are to open the
dance" Albus said with a smile. Severus turned to look at Harry and noticed
that the young wizard had gotten a little pale. "Also…" Albus said was again
gaining all the students attention once again. "…It won't matter with what
gender the competitor decides to come, and he or she must asked his or her
partner to the Yule Ball which will take place on December 20."
Severus watch as all the students began to whispered one to another. He watches
as several girls pointed at Harry, while he was looking at Jasmine as if asking
if he really need to do this. Severus stood than wand made his way out of the
Great Hall, not realizing that a pair of eyes were following his every move.
He made his way down to the lake, and sat down where he used to sit with James
and Lily. They had been so carefree back than, making stupid decisions all the
time. Until that night when he lost both of them. "I see that you don't wish to
be with anyone" came a gentle voice. Severus looked up to find Minerva
McGonagall, his ex-professor.
"I don't know what to do? I have a lot of things to think of" Severus said
looking at the lake as the witch sat down next to him. It was a rare thing to
do for both of them. It was not a common thing to do for them.
"Tell me what's bothering you. I might be able to help you" Minerva said
softly.
"Well the fact that what Lily and James did is one. Then the fact that the
competitors must ask someone to the Yule Ball in order to open the dance is
another. The list just keeps going": Severus said not really knowing why he was
telling this to the witch when he usually kept it to himself.
"Well what they did is understandable, and I'm sure they made the right
decision. As for the Yule Ball, I talked with Albus about it. Mr. Potter must
ask someone. Its part of the competition. It's a rare thing to add that, but
they did this year. I wonder why though" Minerva said staring that the lake.
Severus turned to look at her, and she could see that he wanted answers to his
unspoken questions.
"I have to go, I have to prepare for classes tomorrow" Severus said standing
up.
"You'll find out" Minerva said also standing up and turning to the castle.
Severus watches her walk away before he turned in the direction of his rooms.
Break Line
Harry didn't know what to do, he didn't want to ask any of the students to go
with him to the dance. He didn't want to go at all, and now he had to ask
someone to go with him. What was the old man playing at, so here it was the
following day walking to the old man's office to ask something he didn't want
to ask at all. He stood in front of the statue that seemed to feel as if
someone was near. Once the question from before was answered the statue stepped
aside and Harry stepped up the stairs.
He reached the door and knocked gently as always. "Come in" came a cheerful
reply. Harry entered and the first thing he noticed was that Professor Severus
Snape was also there. "Is something the matter Mr. Potter?" the old wizard
asked and Harry could have sworn that the black-hair wizard glared at the old
one. Harry waved his hand and the quill in Albus desk came to life and began to
scribble things on the parchment.
"Is_it_really_necessary_for_me_to_participate_at_the_Ball?"
"Yes it is necessary, but it seems you don't want to ask any of the students so
why do you ask someone you trust" Albus said with a smile.
"Okay"
"Do you need anything else?" Albus questioned. Harry shook his head and left
the office. He walked to his room and found his aunts and cousin inside. They
seemed to be talking about something, but had stopped the moment he entered.
"What's the matter dear?" Petunia asked softly going to her nephew.
"I must participate on the Ball. So, would you be my partner?" Harry asked with
his hands. At the questioning look on her aunt's face he wave his hand and made
the quill scribble what he had asked.
"Sorry dear, but someone else asked me already and I said yes" Petunia said
with a small smile. Harry turned to Jasmine hopefully.
"Sorry Har, my fiancé asked me already and I said yes" Jasmine said with a
small smile; Harry turned to Dudley to see what his cousin would say.
"Sorry GE, I asked a girl already and she agreed to go with me" Dudley said
with a small smile. Harry sat down on the couch emotionless and the other three
stare at him worry.
"Dear, why don't you ask Mr. Snape. I'm sure he'll accept" Petunia said.
"Yeah, I'm sure you have him today right?" Dudley said with a smile. Harry
nodded, now it was going to be embarrassing to ask his professor to go with
him. Besides what if the man had a date already? What if he just laughed at
Harry? The raven-hair sighed, earning a worried looks.
Break Line
Harry sat in his Advance Defense Against the Dark Arts, waiting for his
professors. After that class he had Advance Potions and he was nervous. It had
been two weeks already and Harry still had not asked his professor. He didn't
know how, the door of the classroom open and Harry turned to see who it was. He
almost sighed in annoyance when the boy from his fourth year enter the room.
"Are Professor Black and Lupin here?" the now Quidditch coach asked. Harry
shook his head and went back to staring at nothing. "Would you go to the ball
with me?" Harry looked at him, as the door of the office open to reveal three
wizards. All had heard the question. Harry turned to the other three wizards
and found the one he had been having a hard time asking to go to the ball with.
"No, sorry I have someone else in mind" Harry said fast with his hands. When
everyone noticed Cedric's questioning look, Severus Snape told him what Harry
had said.
"Its okay, I had to asked" Cedric said. He turned to Professor Sirius Black and
Professor Remus Lupin. "I came for the necklaces that the Headmaster needs."
"I send it to him with an elf already" Professor Black answered. The Quidditch
coach nodded and left with a curt nod at Severus and this didn't go unnoticed
by anyone. Harry turned to look at the wizard leaving and glared dangers at
him.
"Well lets began our class Mr. Potter, we waist a lot of time" Professor Lupin
said. Harry nodded still staring at the door the other wizard had left.
"Professor Severus Snape…would you…go to the…ball with me?" Harry questioned
hesitantly with his hands. Severus stared at him surprise.
"I'll give you the answer when you are in my class. Good luck with this two Mr.
Potter" Severus said. Harry nodded and watches as Severus left. Sirius and
Remus looked at each other and nodded at something.
Break Line
Severus enters his classroom in silence. He didn't know what to think, Harry
had just asked him to go with him to the Yule Ball. If he accepted, than it
would mean that he would have to tell him about…
"Professor?" Came a male voice from the door. Severus look up to find Cedric
Diggory, the young man used to be smart with potions. To bad he had chosen to
be a Quidditch coach instead.
"Is something the matter?" Severus asked indifferently.
"Yes, I came to ask…if you would…um…go to the Yule Ball with me?" Cedric said.
Severus stare at Cedric for a while, he didn't know how long he had stayed in
silence. He stood and went up to the other wizard.
"Someone has already asked me, and I'm planning on going with that person"
Severus said calmly.
"Who? If its okay for me to know" Cedric said.
"Someone I met a long time ago" Severus said calmly. Cedric left without
another word and Severus sighed. This was going to be hard, he knew it was
going to be hard and the Yule Ball hadn't even arrived yet. A knock on the door
was heard. "Come in."
"Hey, I heard the school was going to held a Yule Ball" Lucius Malfoy said
entering. Severus looked at him indifferent. "I received an invitation from the
old man. I'll be here my friend" Lucius said.
'Great just what I needed' Severus thought. He looked at Lucius for a while
longer before asking. "Is Cissa coming?"
"Yes" Lucius respond. Severus nodded but said nothing. His clock rang
announcing the end of the hour.
"I have a student coming in a moment for his classes" Severus said.
"I see someone is smarter than others" Lucius said.
"Yes, indeed" Severus said.
"Well than I'll leave you. See you at the Yule Ball" Lucius said. Severus
nodded and Lucius left in silence. Not long after Harry enters his class and
the lesson began, not once was the Yule Ball mention. Once the end of the class
came Harry stayed there looking at Severus questioningly. "Do you need
something Mr. Potter?" Severus asked coldly. Harry seemed sad suddenly, Severus
had the urge to hug the young wizard but stopped himself.
"'No sir, I was wondering where you put the wood I gave you" Harry said with
his hands slowly.
"I put it away in a drawer" Severus said. The young wizard seemed hesitated for
a moment and left without a word. Severus went to his desk and picked up the
small piece of wood. The wood had a Lion and a Snake, the snake was surrounding
the lion, but than it changed to the lion protecting the snake from something.
He kept looking at the wood, it changed every ten seconds to either of the two
positions.
Break Line
The Yule Ball came and Harry had found someone with his cousin's help. It was a
beautiful girl in her six year at Hogwarts. Harry knew that his cousin had told
her that she would have to leave right after the first dance was over, because
Harry didn't really like to be near anyone. The competitors enter the Great
Hall, it seemed larger this time, and they went to the middle. Some how Harry
and his team ended in the middle circle where anyone could see them clearly.
A slow melody began and all the competitors began to dance, soon Headmaster
Dumbledore began to dance with Minerva. The song went on for about five minutes
before it ended. Once it was over Harry went to sit down in a corner and the
girl left, but not before smiling and thanking Harry for letting her be his
partner for the first dance.
Harry only looked at her, no interest of what she was saying shown. He didn't
care either way. His mind was still on how the Professor had acted during their
last class. The tension had grown after the black hair wizard had rejected his
offer of being his partner for dancing. To deep in thought he didn't noticed
three people approaching him.
"Harry, is something the matter?" Harry looked up to see who had talked and
noticed it was the ones that he was participating with in the competition.
Harry just stood and left the great hall without a word.

Chapter_8_-_Year_5_(Part_4)
The end of the Christmas Break came and Harry sat in his room alone. He had
asked his aunts and cousin to leave him alone, he didn't want them near. Not
now, and probably not until summer. His Aunt Jasmine had been asking him
questions on why he was like that and he had just ignored her. He didn't know
why, but he felt lonely even when he was with his family. He didn't know what
to do any more. He was currently doing his Advance Potions homework, and after
that he was going to do his Advance Against the Dark Arts report.
He sighed for what it seemed to be the tenth time day. To deep in his mind he
didn't hear the knock on the door. He jumped suddenly when someone tapped on
his shoulder. "Sorry dear I didn't mean to scare you. The competition is in
March, are you going to be ready?"
"Yes,_Aunt_Jasmine" Harry wrote. His aunt nodded and sat across from him.
"Mr. Draco Malfoy and Ms. Hermione Granger have come to ask for you. They wish
to figure out the 'code' as soon as possible" Jasmine said.
"Okay,_later_Aunt" Harry wrote and left without more. He walked down the
corridor and down to the lake where he had agreed to meet to figure out the
code of the egg. As he neared the door a red head stepped in front of him.
Harry backed away not liking others being to near him.
"Hello Harry, my name is Fred" the red head said.
"I'm George" another said stepping from behind the first red head. Harry shook
his head negatively; he knew the two were trying to trick him.
"No, well then who is who?" the first one said. Harry just gave another stepped
backwards. This was what he was trying to avoid and now here he was trying to
be talked into guessing who is who.
"George, Fred leave him alone, Harry, Draco and Hermione are waiting at the
lake." Harry looked at the new comer and immediately recognized him as Ronald.
Without a thanks Harry left to the lake where he found Hermione and Draco
discussing something.
"Hi Harry, ready to began?" Hermione said looking up at him; Harry just nodded.
Break Line
Severus watched from his rooms as Harry approached Draco and Hermione. The
young wizard had stopped thanking others and had begun to distance himself even
more. A knock on the door was heard and Severus sighed, he didn't want to talk
with anyone. "Severus it's me, Albus" came a soft voice. Severus sighed once
again and waved his hand towards the door to open it. The door swung inwards
and in went the old wizard.
"Is something the matter Albus? We are not to discuss the final task until a
week before March" Severus said turning to look at the old wizard.
"I want to know what is wrong with you, Severus?" Albus said.
"I don't know what you mean" Severus said.
"Severus, you have gone back to being a closed off person, I want to know why?"
Albus said.
"I haven't changed at all Albus" Severus said and turned to look at the lake
once again. He noticed Harry looking up at the sky as if expecting something to
happen. Albus neared behind him, and looked in the same direction as Severus.
"He must know that he…"
"No" Severus said firmly and went to sit at his desk. Albus turned to the
wizard; he knew Severus and it would probably take time to convince him to tell
everything to Harry.
"Severus, I have bad news" Albus said suddenly. Severus looked at him
questioningly. "Mr. Vincent Dudley seems to have an allied that helped him
escape Azkaban a moment ago" the old wizard said.
"What?! I thought he had received the Demantor's kiss!" Severus said angry.
"Yes, Fudge said that he had sent one of his most trustworthy Aurors to make
sure the Demantor gave him the kiss. Until a moment ago, he found out that the
Auror was a spy for Voldermort" Albus said.
"So that bastard helped him escape" Severus said.
"No, he detests people that do the things Harry's step-uncle did. He would have
killed him" Albus said.
"I don't think so, he would probably like what happened to Mr. Potter" Severus
said.
"No Severus, he is dark and what ever but he would never use something like
that. He wants a fair fight with Harry, and for the opponent to be strong not
weak" Albus said.
"There you go again Albus defending a man that has no going back" Severus said
standing up.
"I still have hope that he will change for the better. Even if it has been this
long" Albus said.
"Yes, you always hope for things that might never become real" Severus said
walking out of his rooms. Albus followed him close behind, Severus walked to
his office. Both wizards stayed in silence, for a long time.
"Harry will stay at Snape Manor from mid-June" Albus announced.
"Now you decided who enters and who doesn't to my house" Severus said turning
his back on the old man.
"You didn't have a problem last year, and I don't see why it has to be
different" Albus said. Severus didn't say anything; he knew that Albus was
right. The thing was that it was different for him and Harry. Their classes had
become tense after he had rejected the offer of going with the young wizard to
the Yule Ball.
"Fine, now please leave I have papers to grade" Severus said sitting down. He
heard the other sight and left without a word.
Break Line
The last week of February had arrived and Harry and his team had figured out
the code. They just needed to write it down, but they had agreed it would be
best if Harry wrote it down and keep it until the competition. Harry entered
his room and wrote the answer down before he sat down and began to read a book
he had just gotten. There was a knock on his door, he stood and open to find a
red hair girl standing there. 'A Weasley' Harry thought.
"Sorry Mr. Potter, but the Headmaster is looking for you" the girl said. Harry
walked out of this room and past the girl and in the Headmaster's office. As he
approached the statue, he found Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger there.
"He called us and said to wait for you before we all go up stairs. The other
competitors are up there already" Draco said. Harry just kept looking at them.
Hermione said the password to the statue who jumped to the side to let the
three enter. The three went up the stairs in silence; once in front of the door
Hermione knocked.
"Come in " came the old wizard's voice. Draco opened the door and the three
entered. The first one that Harry noticed was a blond man right next to
Severus. The man looked like Draco but in an older version so Harry guessed
that it was Draco's father. "Pleas sit" Albus said.
"We have gathered the nine champions to see who has figured out the code of the
egg" Severus said. Draco stood up and looked at the other teams and they seemed
to hesitate a little before standing up as well. "Good, the last task will take
place this weekend so have your answers prepared"
"Professor will the task take place in the Quidditch field once again?"
Hermione asked.
"Yes Ms. Granger, but it will be different. So, be prepared for any kind of
thing. You never know what kind of event will take place until the moment
comes" Severus said. Hermione nodded in understanding. "Well, if there are no
more questions you may leave" Severus said after a while. Everyone stood and
began to leave; Harry waited until almost everyone was out the door before
standing up.
"Mr. Potter I must discuss something of importance with you please stay" Albus
said suddenly when Harry was at the door. Harry turned to look at him and
nodded, he sat once again.
"I'll leave, I have things to do. Come Lucius we must discuss something about
Draco" Severus said. Harry looked at him but did nothing. Harry turned back to
Albus once the blond wizard, Lucius, and Severus were at the door. Harry waved
his hand making the quill come to life and making Lucius look at him.
"What's_of_importance_that_it_must_be_in_private?" The quill wrote. Harry
watched as the old man sighed.
"Your 'Uncle' escaped Azkaban" Albus said. Harry went pale at that moment. He
stood and left the office, passing the other two wizards. He ignore the call
from his Aunt Petunia as he past by her. He just kept going until he entered
his rooms, he knew this would happen. He knew that no one could help him when
it came to his 'Uncle', he lay on his bed and cried himself to sleep.
Break Line
Severus walked to his office followed by Lucius, his friend of many years.
Still he couldn't tell the blond with whom his loyalty really lie. He past
several Slytherins, they enter Severus office and both sat down. Severus began
to go through several papers, looking for a specific paper. "Severus is
something the matter?" Lucius suddenly asked.
"No, nothing is the matter. Here it is" Severus said as he took out a small
black folder.
"Is that Draco's folder of this year? He usually does better than that," Lucius
said.
"Yes, about that. Albus gave a chance to each of the competitors to either take
the classes or the final test. They all choose to take the final, if the
student fail he or she will be taking classes. Your son passed with high marks"
Severus said handing the folder to Lucius.
"He better had, I didn't spent my whole summer with him for nothing" Lucius
said.
"That is the other reason I asked you to come" Severus said. At the questioning
look on his friends face he continues. "If you keep pushing him instead of
encouraging him. You will only get hatred from him. He will not respect you
later on, I know that you want him to be like you. I just want you to see that
if you keep doing that he will only rebel against you."
"I know, Cissa told me the same thing. I don't push him though. We practice
things he likes too, and I spent some of my time with him if I'm able to. You
know that the Dark Lord would kill him if I show any kind of emotion for my
son" Lucius said putting the folder down.
"You don't want him to get the mark do you?" Severus said. Lucius stayed quiet,
not wanting to answer the question. "You don't have to answer. Now, Draco will
be participating in the last task in a few days like you heard. I hope you are
able to come" Severus said after a while.
"I will" Lucius said standing up.
"Take care my friend" Severus said. Lucius nodded and left the office in
silence with the folder in hand.
Break Line
The competition came, and Severus was walking down to the field with the rest
of the school body. All the champions right behind him, he lead them to the
tent that they had enter during the last task. "I need all competitors to line
up from first place to ninth place" Severus said once all the nine champions
where inside the tent.
"Sir, would you please tell us the results" Draco said. Severus nodded and
began to give the order. Everyone stood in place until Fleur was the last to
line up, once that was done Severus went out the tent and went back inside with
the judges.
"This task consist of dueling against a well trained Auror. Now the Auror won't
be sending hexes higher than fifth year, so it will be easy task for the two
oldest champions. Now, in this bag the name of the Auror you'll fight will come
out. Ms. Fleur Delacour if you would please" Severus said. Fleur stepped
forward, she put her hand in the bag and took out a small piece of parchment.
"Auror Niphadora Tonks" Fleur said stepping back into place.
"Mr. Draco Malfoy" Severus said. Draco stepped forward and took out a piece of
parchment.
"Auror Frank Longbottom" Draco said. Severus nodded and proceeded until he
arrived at Harry. Harry put his hand inside the bag and grabbed the last piece
of parchment. He took out his hand, he unfolded it and gave it to Severus to
read.
"You have Auror Alastor Moody. Now, everyone will go out, beginning with the
last in place" Severus said.
"Before we continue, will the group give us the answer to the code inside the
egg" Albus said. Fleur stepped forward and gave the small parchment to the old
wizard. Once Albus read the answer he nodded his approval and Viktor stepped
forward. The old wizard nodded once again, and Harry stepped forward. He gave
the small parchment to the old wizard.
Severus once again watched as the eyes of Albus widen. The old wizard gave the
piece of parchment to the judges before passing it down to Severus. "Professor
Snape please read the note" Fudge said.
"'I'm hard to end and destroy. The only way for me to go away is by dieing and
even than I keep living. I know that you will fight against me, I know that you
won't accept me right away. Still I will be there until you do so, I won't give
up. Now I'm going to duel with you and until you accept me I won't stop
dueling.'" Severus read.
"Thanks Professor, now Ms. Fleur Delacour once the canyon goes…" Albus was cut
off by the cannon going off. Albus hurried the girl out and Severus followed
close by timing the girl already. As the previous task, time went by fast,
before Severus found himself recording Viktor Krum's time. He watch as the
girl, Mange Delacour walked out of the tent and began to duel with the Auror
she had gotten.
The duel ended 10 minutes and 9 seconds later. Next was Harry, he watch as the
boy walked out with indifference. Severus knew that Alastor was going to be a
hard opponent to win against. Besides that the wizard had an eye that could see
someone throw a hex from behind him. "Begin" Severus head Fudge called out.
Severus began the time and watched as the two duelist fought.
Harry seemed to be protecting and sending hexes easily. Severus looked down at
the time, it was 1 minute and Harry had managed to take the wand from the
Auror. He watch as Harry sent a stunning hex to Alastor which the wizard dodged
with ease, but was to slow to dodge the second one that came out of Harry's
finger. Severus looked at the time and his eyes almost widen.
He walked up to the judges and gave the time stopper to Albus who looked at
his. It marked 00:04:05:00. "Judges began to add the time" Albus said after
getting out of his shock. Once everyone was done, they gave the results to
Severus.
"The final scores are as follows. In first place came Mr. Malfoy's team with 25
minutes and 15 seconds. In second place came Ms. Delacour's team with 31
minutes and 27 seconds and in third place came Mr. Krum's team with 35 Minutes
and 9 seconds.
"For the competitors individually are as follow: In ninth place came in 9th
place came Mr. Terry Krum with 13 minutes and 3 seconds, in eighth place came
Mr. Viktor Krum with 12 minutes and 3 seconds. In seventh place came Ms.
Hermione Granger with 12 minutes and 2 seconds, in sixth place came Ms. Fleur
Delacour with 11 minutes and 7 seconds. In fifth place came Mr. Draco Malfoy
with 11 minutes and 7 seconds, in fourth place came Ms. Mange Delacour with 10
minutes and 9 seconds. In third place came Mr. Anthony Krum with 10 minutes and
3 seconds, in second place came Ms. Florean Fortescue with 9 minutes and 9
seconds. Finally in first place came Mr. Harry Potter with 4 minutes and 5
seconds" Severus said calmly.
"Its time for lunch for all the students, I ask please all visitors and
students to attend. As the final result on who wins the final prize will be
announced at the end of the meal" Albus said. Everyone walked to the Great
Hall, and entered. Everyone sat with their friends, as Harry sat with his two
aunts and his cousin in a corner. Severus kept looking around and found Lucius
and Narcissa with Draco, Hermione, and Ronald. The two blond wizards seemed to
be arguing about something.
Severus walked up to them, and as he got closer he heard Draco slam his hand on
the table. "I won't stop being their friend just because you and his parents
don't get along. Come Ron and Hermione we are sitting somewhere else": the
young blond stood followed by the other two and went to sit somewhere near
Harry but far enough to keep an eye on who should be sitting farther.
"I told you to stop pushing him" Severus said once he was standing in front
Lucius.
"I know Severus, but I can't stand him being a friend of a Weasley" Lucius
said.
"He is old enough to know with who he is friends" Severus said.
"Yes, than why not be friends with Mr. Harry Potter?" Lucius said.
"Luc, honey calm down…I'm sure our son has his reasons. Isn't that right Sev"
Narcissa said talking for the first time.
"Yes, that's right. Now if you excuse me, I think the Headmaster is wanting my
presence at this moment" Severus said and walked away. He stepped forward to
meet with the headmaster and waited.
Break Line
Harry sat in the corner, farther from his aunts and his cousin. 'Why did they
let him go? I thought he wasn't going to come back?' Harry thought. He opened
his mouth but closed it with a sigh.
"GE is something the matter?" Dudley asked looking at his cousin. Harry shook
his head negatively.
"I know Mr. Dumbledore told you that Vincent escape. Don't worry, everything
will be fine. I'm going to be there as well as Petunia and Dudley" Jasmine
said. Harry nodded but didn't smile.
Five minutes later lunch ended the headmaster stood up, bringing everyone to
silence. "Thank you. Now Professor Snape will announce what team won the first
prize and so on" Albus said. Severus stepped forward and cleared his throat,
Harry stare at him.
"In first place comes Mr. Malfoy's team. The first prize goes to Mr. Harry
Potter for the speed he used in the competitions. The second prize goes to Mr.
Draco Malfoy, who manage to pass the dragon in the second task and was able to
use spell of a six year. The third prize goes to Ms. Hermione Granger for
knowing how to pass the male centaur in the second task and also for using
higher hexes than her grade level.
"In second place came Ms. Delacour's team. The first prize goes to Ms. Mange
Delacour for managing to solve the riddle the creature gave her in record time
and being able to dodge hexes sent to her and sending one herself before the
hex reached the ground. The second prize goes to Ms. Florean Fortescue for
being able to answer the Dark Elf's questions without hesitation and for the
knowing how to defeat her opponent in the last task. The third prize goes to
Ms. Fleur Delacour for passing her dragon and for knowing how to deal with her
opponent in the last task.
"In third place came Mr. Krum's team. The first prize goes to Mr. Terry Krum
for knowing how to past the female centaur in the second task and managing to
defeat his opponent even though he came out with some scratches. The second
prize goes to Mr. Viktor Krum for passing the dragon by using only a few hexes
and for being able to deal with his opponent in the final task with easy. The
third prize goes to Mr. Anthony Krum for being able to past the creature safely
and easily with his attitude and for knowing how to deal with his opponent in
the last task. Congratulations all the champions" Severus said.
Harry stood at that moment and left the Great Hall, despite the calls of his
aunts and cousin. So he had won the first prize, big deal. He knew that
already, he knew that he would win. He knew the amount of power he had, and
still he wasn't able to save himself and others.
Break Line
Harry put the last of his things in his trunk. The year had ended, and it was a
long one. He had to go back now, and hope that his 'uncle' didn't go to his
home. He opened the door of his rooms to find Professor Severus Snape.
"We have bad news Mr. Potter…" Severus said.

Chapter_9_-_Year_6_(Part_1)
Harry was currently sitting in his room, he didn't understand how things had
happened. At the end of the year as he readied himself to go home, he had found
out that his Aunt Jasmine had been killed on her way here. He was glad that
nothing had happen to his Aunt Petunia and Cousin Dudley. He wonder if his Aunt
Jasmine had gave her life to protect the other two. He sighed, this was his
fault, everyone that got to close to him would get killed.
"GE are you in here?" Dudley said as he opened the door. Harry looked at him
before standing up and going to the window. "GE, it wasn't your fault. She
didn't die because she was someone close to you. It was because they attacked
us and she was protecting us." Harry nodded but said nothing.
Break Line
Severus sat in his library, he wasn't doing to good when his mark began to
hurt. He sighted and stood up, and went to the first meeting of the year. As
always he stayed neutral but he knew that if Voldermort called upon them it was
because of something. He just hoped it wasn't because they had discovered whom
his loyalty lay with. He sent a message to Albus before he flooded to Hogshead
and appeared in Voldermort's hide out.
He appeared in the main room, and bowed along with the others that had been
there already. They waited until the last had appeared before Voldermort
indicated them to stand up. Everyone did so as one, it was as if they had been
practicing the whole time. Voldermort smirked, anyone that didn't know him
would think that he was handsome. To Severus he was the most disgusting being
in the world.
"My dear followers, soon we will rule the magical world. We will attack
Hogwarts this year, so be prepared. Severus" Voldermort said. Severus stepped
forward and bowed. "How is our dear Albus doing?"
"He's not in good shape my lord" Severus said.
"I see, and our dear Harry Potter?" Voldermort asked. Severus almost lost
control of himself, but he remembered where he was and with who he was dealing
with.
"It has been found recently that he was being rape by his step-uncle, and that
he has no friends" Severus said. When Voldermort didn't say anything Severus
thought he was going to suffer punishment.
"Who is this muggle?" Voldermort finally asked.
"Albus didn't say, all he said was that he was taken to Azkaban but I think
otherwise my lord" Severus said.
"Why is that Severus?" The Dark Lord questioned.
"Its said that he escape the same day Black was discovered innocent" Severus
respond. Voldermort nodded and dismissed Severus who stepped back into the
circle.

Harry sat in the living room, it was mid June already. He went up to his room,
he would be leaving to god knows where the following day. It was night and he
wasn't really tired but he wanted to lie on his bed any ways. He looked at the
calendar, he would be turning 16 soon. He would be able to go out in the world,
and probably have to deal with the man that killed his parents.
He didn't know the man and he had forgiven him along time ago thanks to his
Uncle Vernon.
Break Line : Harry's Memory
An 8 year-old, Harry was sitting in his favorite chair. He had just found out
that his parents hadn't had an accident but had been killed by a man with
magic. Vernon entered at that moment and looked at his nephew. "Harry what's
the matter?" he had asked.
"Is it true mom and dad were killed by a man with magic?" Harry had asked.
"Yes, but you shouldn't hate him, he was scared that you would overpower him.
He didn't think of his actions or who he would affect by doing what he did. You
shouldn't be a hateful person, you are a good boy, Harry. Don't let something
like this change that. It's said that is better to forgive someone than to hate
them. That by doing so its possible that the person will change for the better"
Vernon had said.
"Okay, I don't hate him I really don't. I just want to know why he killed mom
and dad" Harry said. Vernon had just nodded and smiled before hugging his small
nephew.
Break Line : End of Harry's Memory
Harry was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard someone open the door of
his room. He looked at the muggle clock and noticed it was almost midnight. It
was only a matter of seconds. "Hello my dear boy" came the unrecognizable voice
of Vincent. Harry back away from the bed and towards the window where he picked
up a letter that he had received a week ago. "I see you still remember me. Tell
me has anyone touched what its mine?" the man said with a smirk. Harry shook
his head, and before he knew what was happening he was lying on his bed.
"Harry!" Came his cousin's voice. He looked at the door and looked at him
pleadingly. "Let him go you bastard" Dudley screamed as he stepped forward.
"Don't get near or he dies" Vincent said taking out a dagger and putting it
under Harry's throat. Dudley stepped backwards but didn't leave the room, Harry
heard footsteps on the hall and knew his aunt was coming. "Tell me boy, how
have you been without me?"
"He has been doing better, now get off him before I kill you" came a strong
firm voice. Harry looked up in time to see no other than Severus Snape and
Sirius Black walk inside the room.
"And just who do you think you are to tell me what to do?" The man said
standing up with Harry in front of him.
"I'm sure Harry hasn't shown you the letter if you don't know who I am" Severus
said.
"What letter?" Vincent asked Harry. The raven-hair raised the letter to the
man's sight. The man took the letter and opened it, with Harry still in front
of him and the dagger still next to the young wizard's throat. As the man read
the letter his eyes widen before going back to normal. "This means nothing, it
could just be a fucking lie for all I know" the man spat making Harry flinch.
"Oh really, why don't we ask the minister that" Severus said as Fudge, Albus,
and other two Aurors enter the room. Before Vincent knew what was happening he
was Stupefied by Sirius.
"Minister please check the letter," Sirius said as Harry got away from his
'uncle' and to his aunt's arms. Fudge took the letter from the stunned man and
read the letter.
"Mister Snape, if what this letter says is true than Mr. Potter will stay with
you forever if he accepts the truth" Fudge said. Severus nodded and everyone
except Albus and Fudge looked at him questioningly.
"Well Fudge lets take this man away from here before he harms anyone" Albus
said.
"This time make sure he won't escape, or I'll kill him" Severus said.
"I'll make sure of that" one of the Auror's said. Severus nodded, and Albus,
Fudge and the two Aurors left.
"What did that man mean?" Petunia asked once Harry had calmed down.
"Please read this letter and you will understand" Severus said. Petunia grabbed
the letter that Fudge had left behind and began to read it.
"Dear Harry James Potter,
Hey little one, its me, Jasmine Potter. Your aunt, before I tell you what the
meaning of this letter I want you to know that I love you. It won't matter if
I'm dead, which means that you have read the first lines of this letter. I want
to tell you a short story of how things got the way they are.
Your uncle, Vernon Dursley, and not the bastard that hurt you. Well Vernon
wrote a letter that was suppose to get to me the day after he died. Thing is
that it never got to me. I received it the day Mr. Severus Snape went to pick
you up in your third year. I was so furious, but when I got there they had
arrived and helped you. Sirius Black is your godfather, and he is innocent of
all bad things they say about him. I know him too much to think that he
betrayed your parents, I just know that for sure.
Remus Lupin is a great man too, even if he is a wolf. He knows many things, and
he is trustworthy. I know that you might not know, but Remus Lupin same as
Sirius Black is also your godfather. You were to stay with either of them if
you family hadn't accepted you. I knew Vernon though, and he would give
anything a chance. Especially a little one like you, and he loved you too.
Never doubt that my little one, he loved you and I know he would have given
anything for you.
Now, Severus Snape well he's a special case. You want to know why? Well…he is
the one that swore to your parents to protect you from anything. The ring that
you have had with you, that one that you have had from a baby is a symbol of
you two being connected. No one, and pay really close attention none can take
that ring from you but Severus Snape.
Now you might be wondering why he didn't come to help you when your uncle died.
Well…that's because the ring you have is no ordinary one. No my little one, the
ring symbolizes trust, caring, and appreciation. If you felt that for him, he
would know when you are in danger. When he felt you were in danger in your
third year was because you trusted him without your knowledge. You were
beginning to care what would happen to him if your "uncle" found out that you
asked him for help. That if he intervened he would end up hurt, well little one
I tell you not to fear that.
He cares for you and more than anyone can guess, and the proof of that is by
silencing for your own good. Silencing in hopes you would be happy with someone
else, but I know you won't be. I don't know how I know, I just know. I only ask
you little one to trust him. Now if you look at your ring you'll find three
symbols, if there is an other I'll explain it once I tell you the meaning of
the first three.
The small heart means care, and love. The sword means trust, and courage. The
last symbol is chosen from the one that can take the ring from you, that
symbolizes protection until the end of life.
Now that you know that, you will see that if a last symbol is created. It means
that you unconsciously bonded to the one that gave you the ring. By bonding to
this person doesn't mean having sex my little one. It means that you trust that
person with your life, that you care for that person more than anything. That
you wish to protect that person against anything, even from the one that hurts
you. Well, I tell you to let this person protect you.
Well I have to go my little one, it's late and I must rest. I promise that from
the sky your mom, dad, uncle, and I will look after you. From the sky, not only
me but they will also make sure that you are safe and happy.
With love,
Jasmine Potter "
Petunia looked at Severus as she finished reading the letter. When she looked
at her son, she noticed that he had seemed relieved for some odd reason. "Why
didn't you come for him?" She finally asked.
"I couldn't, I'm a spy for Albus and if I had come for him they would have
killed me, meaning the death of him" Severus said.
"That doesn't mean you cant' come and check on him!" Petunia screamed making
Harry flinch.
"I couldn't come, they would have followed me. When James and Lily died they
had me guarded. They would follow me everywhere, they would make sure where I
went, with who I met up, and if I was planning something against them. If I had
come, they would have come as well" Severus said.
"I understand, now it's up to Harry" Petunia said. Both adults turned to Harry
who had been watching the whole thing in fright.
"I trust him, and know he won't hurt me. I'll go with him, and if it doesn't
work I'm sure he'll let me come back" Harry said with shaking hands. At
Petunia's questioning look Dudley translated what his cousin had said as
Severus nodded at what Harry had said.
"Very well, please write to us" Petunia said as Severus waved his wand and
everything that belong to Harry got into the young wizard's truck neatly.
"We need to go, but do you wish to come?" Severus said.
"No, you two go along. We will be okay" Petunia said. Severus nodded and
lowered the apparition wards long enough to disappeared with Harry in his arms.
Harry landed on his feet softly touching the floor.
"You can open your eyes now" Severus said. Harry did as told and recognized the
place. He had been there the last summer. When Severus let go of Harry, the
youth grabbed Severus by the sleeve. "I won't go anywhere" Severus had said.
Harry had just nodded. So, Severus guided him to the room he had stayed the
summer before, and as they walk Harry's thoughts wonder off.
'Uncle Vernon, what is it that I feel. Right a moment ago, I felt scared that
this man would disappeared . I felt scared that he would leave me alone in this
house. Uncle, what is it that I don't know? What is it that…'
"Harry!" Severus said for what seemed to be like the fifth time. Harry looked
at him questioningly before looking at him apologetically. "We will eat
breakfast tomorrow at 6, so rest well" the older wizard said. Harry nodded and
once he let go of Severus sleeve he enter his room and lie down.
Break Line
The following morning Harry woke up and went down stairs to find Severus making
breakfast. He sat down without making a sound and just watched Severus move
around in silence. It was as if the man didn't even touch the floor at all.
Severus turned around and almost jumped at seeing Harry sitting down and
staring at him. "Harry, I ask you to try to make a sound to warn me that you
are here next time:" Severus said softly.
"Okay Professor, sorry" Harry said with his hands.
"You don't have to call me Professor when we aren't at school" Severus said
putting two plates on the counter and serving breakfast.
"Than what am I going to call you, sir?" Harry asked with his hands.
"Severus, just Severus" the older wizard said with a small smile. Harry smiled
back slightly as he felt something inside him melt. "So what are you going to
do for the rest of the day?" Severus asked once he had sat down and put a plate
in front of Harry.
"I don't know, and you?" Harry asked.
"I have to do some potions for some clients and healing potions for Poppy. She
wants to be prepared for any kind of accidents. Why don't you explore the
library?" Severus said. Harry nodded and both eat without further comments.
Once they were done eating Severus cleaned the dishes and went down to his lab
once he reminded Harry where it was. Harry had nodded and had gone to the
library, he took out a small whistle. He smiled slightly before putting it
away. He picked a book and began to read it. Around midday he took out the
whistle blew it and a small elf that he recognized as Dobby appeared in front
of him. "Do you wish something Master Harry Potter?" The small elf asked. Harry
nodded and summoned a quill and a parchment. He made the quill scribble
something and gave it to the small creature. "Very well Master Harry Potter"
the small creature said and disappeared.
Break Line
Severus was finishing the last potion when a small crack was heard. Severus
turned in time to see his most trustworthy elf by the door. "Wait a moment
Dobby" Severus said. Dobby nodded and Severus bottled the potion in several
small crystal vials. He labeled the bottles and turned to Dobby once again.
"Master Harry Potter was wondering if you where still here" Dobby said softly.
"Tell him I'll be up in a moment" Severus said. The small creature nodded and
disappeared. Severus sighed and with a wave of his hand he cleaned his lab. He
walked out the door and went up stairs to find Harry walking out of the
library. "Hello Harry, is everything okay?" Severus said looking at the youth.
"Yes, are you going back down?" Harry said with his hands.
"No Harry, we are going to eat and than we are going to walk around if its
okay" Severus said with a small smile. Harry nodded and both went to the
kitchen to eat the lunch Dobby had made for both of them. Both ate in silence
and neither asked a question to the other.
After lunch both walked out to the back yard. Harry looked around the gardens
were as he remembered. Well taken care of and all in their beautiful colors.
Harry let himself smile before both wizards heard a small crack behind them.
Both turned to see Dobby standing on one of the benches. "Is something the
matter?" Severus asked.
"No Master Severus, Albus Dumbledore is here. Says he wishes to talk to both of
you" Dobby said.

"No Master Severus, Albus Dumbledore is here. Says he wishes to talk to both of
you" Dobby said. Severus look at Harry than, before turning back to the elf.
"Tell him we will be there in a moment," Severus said. The elf nodded bowed and
disappeared. Severus and Harry stood and made their way back inside the house
and towards the study. Both wizards entered the study and found Albus sitting
in the seat facing away from the door. "Albus?"
"Severus! Harry! The minister gave me great news…of course it will benefit both
of you" the old wizard said with a smile turning to look at them. Severus
walked to the chair across from Albus and let Harry sit down while he stood at
his side.
"What do you mean?" Severus asked.
"Well for one you won't have to go back to Tom" Albus said with a smile.
"Why?" Severus asked.
"We have other things to worry about my dear Severus, and one of them is for
you to be safe for Harry. I don't think he can keep living without you." Albus
said his smile disappearing.
"I have to help some how Albus…if I don't go and get information he…"
"I have taken care of that Severus" Albus said. Severus was about to keep
arguing but stop when Harry grabbed his hand. Both stared into each other's
eyes for a long moment before Severus sighed in defeat.
"Okay. What is the great news the minister gave you?" Severus asked looking at
the old wizard.
"You and Harry are bound under the law of all kinds of creatures…a rare thing"
Albus said his smile returning. Severus look beyond surprise, and Harry just
look plain confused. He was smart, and knew the laws of all the creatures, but
he didn't know that it was possible for wizards or witches to be able to bond
under all the laws.
"Bond under all laws" Severus repeated surprised.
"Yes my dear boy, you two are not to be far from each other…and student/
professor relationship won't work with you two. So I have decided that you,
Severus won't be teaching Harry…I think I have the perfect candidate for that"
Albus said calmly.
"Not teach Harry" Severus repeated disappointed.
"That's right" Albus said his smile disappearing once again. Severus stayed
quiet not saying anything, and he didn't seem like he was going to say anything
any time soon. "Is something the matter with that?"
"Well…Harry doesn't learn with others the way he does when he knows the person"
Severus said looking at Harry. Albus looked thoughtful for a moment but said
nothing for a while.
"Is that true Harry?" Albus asked the boy directly. Harry waved his hand and
the quill in front of him began to scribble his answered.
"I_don't_tend_to_pay_attention_to_others_that_I_don't_know…or_trust._I_pay_more
attention_to_what_they_are_doing_or_what_they_are_about_to_do._Hum…who_is_it
anyways?"
Albus looked at Harry for a moment, and knew that neither of them was lying.
"Well, her name is Niphadora Tonks…she's great at Potions master" Albus said.
"Tonks, the Auror?" Severus asked surprised.
"Yes, she is good at potions…and I think Harry will get along with her. If he
decides its okay" Albus said.
"Well we will tell you a week before school. I will send you a letter with
Dobby" Severus said. Than he remembered something Albus had said before. "Who
will be taking my place? I mean if you are so calm, there must be someone
inside already."
"Yes, and you know him" Albus said smiling.
"Who?" Severus asked confuse.
"Lucius Malfoy" Albus said and Severus noticed as Harry body tense in reaction
to the name.
"I didn't know Lucius was on our side" Severus finally said.
"He has been for a while…I think that one of his reasons is young Mr. Malfoy"
Albus said. Severus stared at the old wizard for a long moment.
"So that's the reason he kept pushing Draco like that" Severus said. Albus
nodded but said nothing otherwise.
"The new reason is because Narcissa is pregnant" Albus said.
"I see, well tell Lucius, he's free to come with his family. To just send me a
letter saying when he would be here" Severus said.
"I'll do that, now I'll take my leave" Albus said.
"I'll take you are going to diappeare away" Severus said when Albus was at the
door.
"Yes, I have to stop somewhere else before going to Hogwarts. I must do many
things actually" Albus said smiling.
"Well I'll go with you to the door" Severus said. He looked down at Harry who
had gripped his sleeve. "I'll be back in a moment, I promise." Harry nodded
reductively, and let go Severus' sleeve. Severus kissed Harry's forehead and
left with Albus to the door.
"I see that Harry is attached to you" Albus said as both walked down the hall.
"No, its not that really" Severus said as both stopped in front of the living
room. Albus looked at Severus with a questioning look. "Dobby always comes to
see what I'm doing every five minutes. He did it last summer too, so I
know…anyways I asked Dobby once why he did it and he said that Harry sent him
to see if I was still in the house. I think he is more afraid of me leaving,
than staying."
"Have you asked Harry?" Albus asked.
"No, I don't want him to think that I'm mad that he keeps sending Dobby. I'm
just worry that he won't ever trust me" Severus said softly. Albus opened his
mouth to say something when Dobby appeared at their side. "Is something the
matter, Dobby?"
"No, Master Harry Potter wants you and Albus Dumbledore…if he was still here…to
go to the study" Dobby said.
"Did he say why?" Severus asked. The small elf shook his head. "Thank you,
Dobby, you can go finish your chores."
"Yes, Master Severus" Dobby said with a bow and left at once. Severus and Albus
look at each other for a moment before walking back down the hall to the study.
Both entered and found Harry still sitting on the chair. Harry looked up at
them for a moment before standing and going up to Severus. Harry handed an
envelope to Severus and another to Albus.
"Did this just arrive?" Severus asked Harry. The young wizard nodded slightly
as he grabbed Severus' sleeve once again. Everything stayed silent in the room
as Harry stared out the window while Severus stared at Harry's grip on his
sleeve, while Albus just stared at both of his favorite people.
"Well why don't you read the letter Severus" Albus suggested. Severus nodded
and opened the letter as Harry looked at Severus' hands work. Once Severus
opened the envelope he took out the piece of parchment.
"Dear Severus Snape," the black hair wizard began to read.
Hey there dear friend. When you read this letter it's because we are dead and
our son is with you. Its late at night and we have a bad feeling that something
will happen to us sooner or later so we decided to write this and send it to
Gringotts to wait for the moment to come.
Since you are reading this we know that our son trusts you in a way or another.
I know that you are risking your life by going to that son-of-a-bitch …sorry
for that but its true. We really appreciate you doing that, and we also know
that the other spy's identity is well protected for his or her own good.
Anyways we are not writing because of that, we just want to thank you for
taking care of our son. For accepting to do what we asked even when he was just
a baby. We know that we did the right thing, and that our son will be happy
with you know matter what. That he will find happiness with you.
We also know that you won't let anything happened to him while under your
care…and if something happened to him that you would make sure he would feel
safe.
Severus we know that Harry was attached to you in someway sense the moment he
was born. We know because you were the only one of the three of our most loyal
friends that he would look for. Lily and me were ecstatic that our son would
react to your presence every time you entered a room he was in.
We don't know if you noticed but we certainly did, and Lily began to
investigate about the subject sense we can't do much in this house. Sev, we
love you as one of our family and we always will…we also own you the 'favor'
that you did for Lily and me while we were in school.
Take care Severus, friend, brother, and much more…and make sure that you are
happy along with our son. We love you both, and we will be look out for the
both of you from the sky.
Sincerely and with Love,
"James and Lily Potter" Severus finished reading and looked up at the other two
wizards. Harry was smiling slyly and Severus was glad that the young wizard was
happy to learn new things. "What do you think, Albus?"
"I think that Lily and James were more than happy to do what they did" Albus
said as he opened his envelope.
"I think so too" Severus said as he gave a kiss to Harry on the forehead.
Severus looked at Albus who was reading the letter in silence, his eyes
tickling even more…if possible. "What does it say?"
"Dear Albus Dumbledore" the old wizard began to read from the beginning.
Hello dear headmaster of Hogwarts. We decided to inform you of what we have
done. You are the head of the order and you are like a father to both Lily and
me. We really appreciate your effort to keep our son and us alive…after all
that has happened.
We are writing this on the night of the 31 st of July, our son's first
birthday. Everyone, except Severus, have left…he is down stairs at this moment
with Harry. His bonded…even when we had a big argument with him…Lily convinced
him. I'm not surprised at that…anyways we just wanted you to know why we did
what we did.
Severus and Harry are to be together by fate…they are a half of the other. They
are what the other needs, and I'm…we are sure Harry will be more than happy
with Severus. We know that neither will let the other suffer…not willingly. We
know that Severus is risking his life for us…and now we know that he has a new
reason to come back to us.
His reason is our son, and without doubt we know that he cares for our son more
than he lets anyone see. I can hear Harry giggling at something Severus did. He
always does when he spends time with our friend …and I'm glad he is part of
this family.
Anyways…we want you to please make sure the two of them are happy. Lily and me
know that if Harry…and I don't want to sound as if it will happen…but if Harry
dies, Lily and me are afraid Severus will do something reckless.
We ask you to protect both of them from doing any damage to themselves. To not
let either do any damage if the other is no longer in the world. Lily and me
don't wish to have both of them up in the sky with us because of something they
did to themselves. Please make sure both are happy…and that both are safe from
any danger .
Our regards and wish you to live many more years. We love you as our father,
Albus Dumbledore.
Sincerely and with much Love,
"James and Lily Potter" Albus finished reading his letter his smile never
disappearing for a moment. Severus was stunned at everything he had heard. He
wasn't sure of what had happen.
'Well that explains a lot of things when the two of them acted the way they
did' Severus thought as Harry looked out the window smiling at the sky.
"Well, I wish to stay longer my boys, but I must talk with some people and than
go to Gringotts to do some business, I'll tell Lucius your message" Albus said.
Severus nodded as Albus left the study. Not having the need or mind to walk the
old wizard to the door again. His mind was going a hundred miles a second. He
was thinking a lot of things at once and he didn't know when he would stop. All
he knew at the moment was that Harry was destined to be with him no matter
what.
Severus felt a tug on his arm and look at Harry. The young wizard was looking
at him curiously and Severus almost lost control of his own actions. He smiled
at Harry, kissed the young wizard's hand and hugged him, but said nothing.
Break Line
Two weeks later Severus received a letter from Lucius saying he would arrive
that day at four o'clock sharp, if it was okay. Severus sent a reply with
Dobby, saying that they should bring some of their things to stay over for a
while. When the small elf went back with Lucius' reply Severus went up to his
guest rooms to prepare two of the rooms. To concentrated in his work he didn't
watch time go by.
At four o'clock sharp he heard noise downstairs. Severus concerned and curious
at what was going on walked out of the room he had prepared for Draco and
walked down the hallway and down the stairs. There at the entrance of the
living room stood Harry with his wand out and pointing it at something…or
someone in the living room.
"Harry?" Severus questioned softly and in a quiet tone that no one but Harry
would be able to hear. Said wizard looked at Severus slightly before turning
his attention back to whoever or whatever was in the living room.
"We mean no harm" a male's strong voice came. Severus recognized the voice as
Lucius' and decided to walk down the rest of the stairs and behind Harry. There
stood a sight that he never thought he would see. At the middle of the living
room stood Lucius with Draco and Narcissa behind him protectively. "Some help"
Lucius said to Severus when the dark hair wizard stood still.
"Harry, its okay. They are on our side" Severus said softly. Harry lowered his
wand and turned to hug Severus. "Sorry about that Luc, I forgot to tell Harry,
that you were to come with your family. I was too distracted."
"It's okay my friend…it was just surprising to see Mr. Potter with his wand out
and pointing it at us. I didn't know he was able to do magic out of school"
Lucius said as Narcissa and Draco step to his side.
"His magic wouldn't be able to be traced unless he was in real danger…or if he
was using magic to defend himself or hurt someone that was dangerous or didn't
deserve punishment." Severus said as he stroke Harry's raven hair. "Calm down
Harry, if you don't you will end up hurting someone."
"Is he this unstable?" Lucius asked.
"Not really, Draco should know. Harry is usually calm…except when it comes to
people he really doesn't know" Severus said as he felt Harry relax.
"I see" Lucius said and Severus could see the older blond look at his son but
said nothing. "I didn't mean for him to be uncomfortable."
"Its okay, he just needs to know you. He is like this with everyone that he
doesn't really know…especially if they have to do with the Dark Lord" Severus
said.
"I understand" Lucius said as Harry turned to look at the family of three.
Draco stepped forward and extended his right hand towards Harry in silence.
Harry looked at Severus who nodded slightly at his young bonded.
"You still wish to be my friend even after I totally ignored you for the past
five years?" Harry asked with his hands in a rush.
"Of course, if you want to" Draco said with his hands, a smile on his face.
Harry and Draco stared at each other for a long moment before both extended
their hands in front of them as a greeting. Severus looked at Narcissa and
Lucius, both had a questioning look on their face…both looked confused.
"They just became friends" Severus said as Harry and Draco began to say things
with their hands at high speed and Severus smiled at everything they seemed to
be talking about in a silence only him, Severus, of the three adults could
understand.
"Their hands are dizzying me" Narcissa said suddenly making Draco chuckle and
Harry smile slyly. Severus was just happy that Harry finally had a
friend…someone that he was sure would help him through school.

Chapter_10_-_Year_6_(Part_3)
Severus was just happy that Harry finally had a friend…someone that he was sure
would help him through school.
Harry looked at Severus and noticed the older man was smiling. Harry looked at
Draco and noticed that the young blond was happy that they were friends. Harry
than remembered about the other two. "You think Hermione and Ron will accept
me?" Harry asked the blond.
"Yeah, I know them very well. They are nice people…when they are not arguing
like a couple" Draco said. Harry smiled at that…he had seen the two fight often
during the previous years.
Break Line
Voldermort was sitting on his throne, when one of his most loyal servants
appeared in front of him. "Bella, what do you have there?" Voldermort
questioned the witch as she pulled someone in front of her.
"My lord, this is the one that did thatto the boy you wish to fight. He's the
one that the minister is suppose to make suffer, and than let him die"
Bellatrix said smirking as if she had accomplished something great.
"So this is the man, that Severus wanted to kill for hurting the famous Harry
Potter. This is the one that made my most loyal servant turn his back on meto
help that boy" Voldermort said as calmly as he could managed.
"Yes, this is the one that made our Potions Master turn away" Bellatrix said
disgusted. She had some feelings for Severus and after they found out he was
just a spy, she didn't know what to do.
"Play with him Bella, do as you wish…make sure he doesn't make my opponent any
more weakerthan he already is. Make sure that our dear Severus finds out of
this death….and see what happens" Voldermort said smirking.
"Your wish, my command my lord" Bellatrix said.
Break Line
Harry looked up from the book he was reading, across from him sat Severus and
the Malfoy family. The adults were talking while Draco read a book like the one
he had in his hands. All of them seemed relax…but Harry was still a little
unsure about Lucius Malfoy and his wife. He felt something familiar…something
that he never thought he would feel ever again. He stood, making the others
look in his direction.
"Harry?" Severus asked worry. Harry looked at him, and Severus went up to him
at once. Harry didn't know what Severus had seen in his eyes…but he was sure it
wasn't something good. "Shhh…calm down love. Everything will be fine…nothing
will happen to you." Harry begin to relax in Severus' arms…they stayed like
that for a moment. No one moved or talked, no one dared to interrupt.
"What's going on?" Draco finally asked…but before Severus could answer Dobby
appeared in the room.
"What is it Dobby?" Severus asked.
"She'sin the fire place…wishes to talk with you master" Dobby said and Harry
didn't know who was she or if he really wanted to know. What he was sure of was
that he wanted the feeling to go away.
"Please look after Harry, I'll be back in a moment" Severus said. Harry
tightened his grip and Severus looked down at him. "I promise to not take
long…I want this feeling to stop coming to you." Harry nodded and let go of
Severus reluctantly, Draco was at Harry's side at once.
"Calm down Harry, Uncle Sev knows what he is doing" Draco said. Harry only
nodded, and let himself be calmed by the young blond.
Break Line
Severus entered his study, and defiantly, there in the fireplace was Bellatrix
face. "What do you want?" Severus asked in a cold tone.
"I just want you to know that I took the pleasure of killing the one that hurt
the precious Harry Potter" Bellatrix said.
"Is that all" Severus said.
"You are no fun…but yes that is all" Bellatrix said.
"Good, now leave…and just so you know the floo will be blocked for any of that
place or the ones on his side to coming through or 'call'" Severus said coldly.
"Whatever" Bellatrix said and disappeared. Severus took out his wand, waved it
twice and blocked the floo system as he had just said. He didn't want Harry to
keep having the feeling he always got when someone dark or a dangerous presence
came. He didn't like when his pair bond went from a colorful face to a pale
one.
Severus walked out of the study and went back to the library. Harry went up to
him at once, and hugged him. He could feel that Harry was not feeling well, and
that he need fresh air to calm himself. "Let's go outside" he said simply.
"Okay" everyone said as Harry nodded. Severus led everyone outside and asked
Dobby to bring some snacks. The elf was more than glad to obey…especially when
he knew that it was to calm Harry.
After a while of long silence Harry calmed down, and he began to look around
the garden as he always did when Severus and him were alone there. Harry
grabbed a small red and white flower and pulls it out from the ground. He
walked up to Narcissa and gave it to her. Severus watched Harry, as he began to
move his hands in front of Narcissa.
"What did he said?" Narcissa asked Draco confused. Severus stayed quiet knowing
that it would be better for the young blond to answer his mother's question.
"He said, 'This flower is for you and the baby girl inside you. I know that she
will turn out as beautiful as her mother…and if you need any help just say
it.'" Draco said smiling up at Narcissa.
"Oh…well thank you" Narcissa said with a small smile. Harry turned and went
back to hug Severus giving the others his back.
"Sit down, we have to see what to do with Narcissa and Draco while the Dark
Lord keeps living" Severus said sitting down, after Harry let him go for a
moment. The Malfoy family stood looking at Harry and at the three empty chairs
around the table. Harry suddenly sat on Severus lap surprising everyone, but
the Malfoy family sat down anyway.
"Well…I was thinking of keeping them away from the Manor" Lucius said after a
while of silence.
"That could help…but where would they go, because, if they come here, it will
be to obvious and he will start suspecting about your 'loyalty'" Severus said
as Harry leaned his head on Severus' right shoulder.
"I don't know, that's what I'm trying to figure out. They can't go to any of
the properties that belong to us, because he will know" Lucius said. Severus
looked thoughtful, and unconsciously began to stroke Harry's raven hair once
again. Harry's head suddenly jerked up startling the others.
"Is something the matter?" Severus asked Harry concerned. A piece of parchment
and a quill were suddenly on the table, and the quill was scribbling so fast
that the Malfoy couple stared in awe, as Draco tried not to laugh at his
parents expression. The quill came to a sudden stop and Severus pick it up and
read it.
"What is it? What does it say?" Lucius asked at once.
"Well, I don't know Harry. I haven't really talked to any of them after your
parents death…and they really didn't talk to him either because he went against
his will" Severus said ignoring Lucius question and making the Malfoy family
groan in annoyance.
"Who are you talking about?" Lucius asked.
"Alan and Ann Potter" Severus said.
"I didn't know they stilled lived" Narcissa said surprised.
"Well, after James rebel against Alan, they went away. We haven't heard of them
sense than" Severus said.
"Let's try" Harry pleaded with his hands. Severus stared at Harry for a long
moment, and not being able to take the look Harry was giving him…he nodded.
Harry smiled and the quill began at new in a new parchment. To deep in thought,
he didn't noticed as the quill went to another piece of parchment. When the
quill finally came to a stop the two pieces of parchment folded themselves and
sealed inside a black envelope.
"Where are you going to send it?" Lucius asked, his eyes still looking at the
black envelope in front of him.
"That's the problem" Severus said. Harry looked at the envelope and it
disappeared in a second. Severus stared at Harry in wonder…question.
"The envelope went to their house…Aunt Jasmine use to tell me they would come
back soon. They will check all their mail…they probably will be here by next
month" Harry said with his hands.
"I didn't know that" Severus said as Draco translated what Harry had said to
his parents.
"Do you really think they will help us?" Narcissa asked softly. Harry nodded in
answered, and lean his head back on Severus' right shoulder as the adults began
to talk.
Break Line
The following month was spent with Harry waking up after everyone, staying in
his room for a moment as the events of the month came back. He had to do it,
after the day that he almost attacked Draco and Lucius and Severus stopping
him, by reminding him on what side they were on. Severus had started to leave a
small note saying that Lucius and his family were at the house and that they
were on their side.
Harry took a deep breath, stood from his bed took a short shower and walked
down the stairs to the living room. Everything was silent as always….as not to
startle him, or scare him. Harry entered the room and as always went directly
to Severus' side and sat down. Everything was silent for a while until Dobby
announced breakfast was ready.
"Harry, are you feeling okay?" Severus asked suddenly when Harry didn't stand.
Harry only nodded weakly, and Severus put the back of his hand against Harry's
forehead. "Harry, you have a fever." Harry shook his head negatively and tried
to stand up but found it difficult to do it.
"What are you going to do?" Lucius worried voice came as Harry fell in Severus'
arms unconscious…
Break Line : Harry's Dream
Harry looked around, trying to figure out where he was. He looked in front of
him to find himself facing the couch he usually sat on at his Aunt Petunia's
house. He walked out of the living room and to the kitchen but found no one. He
walked back down the hallway and walked up the stairs.
"Have you found him?" Dudley's voice came. Harry looked behind him, to see his
cousin looking past him. Harry turned back up to find his uncle…his real uncle.
"Yes, he's under his bed. Tell your mom that he's in the house…I'll try to calm
him" Vernon said and walked back down the hallway. Harry followed his uncle to
his room, and noticed that the door was wide open. Inside was him under the bed
as Vernon entered the room. "Come out Harry."
"No!" the small boy screamed.
"Come out, nothing will happen to you" Vernon said kneeling down.
"No!" The small boy screamed once again.
"Harry, nothing will happen" Vernon said. Harry looked back out the door as he
heard heavy steps nearing his room. His eyes widen at seeing who it was…he
turned back to his Uncle Vernon…
Break Line : End of Harry's Dream
"Harry please wake up" Severus worried voice came interrupting his dream. Harry
turned towards the voice, to listen more to it.
Break Line : Harry's Dream
"Never forget that I will always be with you" Vernon said looking at Harry.
"You promise" the small boy said.
"Of course" Vernon said hugging the small boy. "I will always be here in your
heart. If you remember all that I have taught you and Dudley, than you'll know
when to use the knowledge. You will be able to know when to forgive and when to
act to defend someone that you know doesn't deserve to be punished."
"What if…what if I forget?" the small boy asked softly.
"You won't, because your heart will guide you. Let others see the good in
you…let them see that you are good at judging others" Vernon said.
"Will you be there when I judge others?" the small boy asked.
"Of course…" Vernon pointed at the small boy's heart. "…in here in your heart.
I'll always be here…and if you take me in here. I'll be anywhere you go."
Break Line : End of Harry's Dream
"Harry please open your eyes" Severus' worried voice came once more in his
attempt to awaken the boy. Harry didn't know what to do. He wanted to listen to
that voice, but his mind wanted to rest. It wanted to sleep more. It wanted to…
"I will always be in your heart."
Harry began to stir, and slowly begin to open his eyes. The first thing he saw
was Severus relieved expression. "Welcome back" Severus said softly. Harry
stared at Severus for a long moment before smiling slightly. Dobby appeared at
that moment.
"Master there are two people down stairs. Say you asked them to come" Dobby
said slowly…softly.
"Please tell them to wait. I'll be down in a moment" Severus said. Dobby nodded
and appeared away. Severus turned to Harry who was looking a little better.
"Harry, I have to go see who has come. Will you be okay?"
"Don't go. Don't leave me" Harry plead, with shaking hands.
"I won't leave, I promise. Please rest, I promise to be back as soon as
possible" Severus said softly. Harry didn't look convinced so Severus stayed
there for a moment until Harry fell asleep.
Break Line
"Please look after him" Severus said to Lucius and his family.
"Don't worry" Lucius said and Severus walked down the hall and down the stairs
to the living room where he could sense the two new presences. He entered the
living room, and froze at the door.
"Good evening Severus Snape" the female of the two said. Severus stayed silent,
not knowing what to say…or do. She is of average height, long raven hair, and
her skin was light.
"Aren't you going to say anything?" the male asked after a while. He had short
black hair, pale skin, and was a little taller than the witch.
"Sorry, didn't think that you would come" Severus finally said.
"We received a letter from our grandson. Of course we would come" the female
said.
"Sorry Ann, I didn't mean to offend you. Is just that…after James I heard
nothing from either of you" Severus said.
"Yes, we had to leave…I don't think our son ever forgave us for that" Ann said
softly. Severus was about to say something when he suddenly heard something
crash upstairs, than a door opening and slamming before seeing Harry tripping
on his own feet and almost falling if Severus hadn't moved fast to catch him.
Severus looked at the top of the stairs and watched as the Malfoy family
descended the stairs slowly.
"What happened?" Severus demanded as Ann and Alan walked out of the living
room.
"He awoke and panicked at not seeing you. We tried to stop him, but he was out
the door before we could act" Lucius said. Severus looked down at a shaking
Harry, he noticed the fright inside the green eyes.
"Calm down, I won't leave" Severus said softly.

Chapter_12_-_Year_6_(Part_4)
"Calm down, I won't leave" Severus said softly. Harry calmed down and let
himself drift to sleep. His grip on Severus robe tightened more, as if his life
depended on it. Severus took a deep breath and stood with Harry in his arms. He
turned to the couple behind him, and watched as they gasped in surprise.
"Please lets go back to the living room, you three follow" Severus said to the
Potter couple, before turning to the Malfoy family.
All six entered, Severus sat on the couch that was made for two, with Harry in
his lap. The Malfoy family sat on the couch made for three beside Severus, and
the Potter couple sat in front of Severus on the other couch made for two. No
one spoke, as Severus looked at the sleeping young man in his lap.
"Do you know why he has called us?" Alan suddenly asked.
"Yes, but we will wait until he awakes" Severus said. Dobby appeared at that
moment.
"Master, dinner is ready" the small elf said with a bow.
"Thank you, Dobby. We will go when Harry awakes" Severus said. The small elf
nodded and was about to disappeared when Severus asked. "You made one of his
favorites right?"
"Yes Master, I always do. Different every night, just like he asked" Dobby
said. Severus nodded and the elf disappeared. Everyone stayed in silence, no
one spoke nor moved. After a while, that seemed like hours, Harry began to
stir. Severus watched as Harry opened his eyes slowly, green eyes lock with
black ones. Harry raised his hand and cupped Severus' face.
"Dinner is ready" Severus said softly. Harry nodded and stood, he had his wand
out at once and ready when he saw Alan and Ann standing. The couple froze in
place, Severus smiled slightly. "Its okay Harry, they are your grandparents."
Harry just lowered his wand, and just like he had done with the Malfoy family,
he turned his back on the couple and hugged Severus.
"This certainly is not what I expected." Ann said.
"He is not like all the other kids…he tends to stay away from those that he
doesn't know. Lets go to the dining room, I'm sure everything is prepared"
Severus said. Harry backed away a little took Severus hand and began to walk
out of the room. The other five followed silently.

"Are you sure its safe to trust in Lucius?" Sirius asked. Albus, Remus,
Minerva, and Poppy where currently in the headmaster's office. Sirius was still
not sure about Lucius loyalty and was having a hard time.
"Yes Sirius. If I wasn't as sure as I am, I wouldn't have told Severus" Albus
said.
"He's right Sirius. If Albus had been wrong in trusting Lucius, Sev would had
told him" Remus said than. Sirius stilled looked unsure about that.
"Sirius, you know that I wouldn't expose Harry to danger, and you know that
Severus wouldn't put him in any danger either" Albus said.
"Yes I know that…but…I have a bad feeling" Sirius said.
"What kind of feeling?" Remus asked.
"I don't know…it's as if someone is trying to separate Sev and Harry. As if
someone wants to do something to one of them." Sirius said.
"That's the same feeling you had before…Lily and James…" Remus said and quiet
when Sirius nodded hesitantly.
"Sense when?" Albus asked. He along with the other members of the order had
learned that when Sirius had a bad feeling it was certain to come true if
someone didn't do something to prevent it. It was just hard to do something
when no one really knew what they were against, but they had learned to protect
when Sirius thought they were in danger.
"Well…sense the couch of Quidditch asked Harry to the dance last year" Sirius
said. Everyone stayed silent for a long moment. No one talked, nor moved at
what Sirius had said sank in their minds.
"Well, than we will have to keep Harry away from Cedric" Albus said after a
while.
"I don't think that might be possible Albus" Minerva said than. Everyone turned
to look at her in questioning.
"I read the list of the new Quidditch team, two of them are Mr. Malfoy and Mr.
Weasley. If I'm not wrong and what you say is true, Harry might be with them
when the boys are practicing" Minerva said.
"What does she mean by if what you said is true?" Sirius demanded.
"Harry and Draco became friends during the last month thanks to Severus. He was
afraid that Harry wouldn't have anyone to get along with this year…so Lucius
went for a visit and that day Harry and Severus invited them to stay for the
summer" Albus said.
"Well, that explains that" Remus said, as Sirius stood frozen for a moment.
"Okay, this is going to be a lot harder than I thought" Sirius said calmly
surprising everyone.
Break Line
"Well Harry tell us why did you call us?" Ann said once everyone was sitting in
the living room once again. Dinner had been tense, and Harry had only eaten in
silence. As always not even trying to make conversation sense his hands were
always occupied. Harry looked at Ann for a long moment before looking at
Severus.
"No I didn't tell them. Thought it would be better if you tried to tell them
yourself" Severus said. Harry looked back at his grandparents but didn't even
try to open his mouth to speak.
"Well?" Ann asked after a long silence. Harry looked at Severus again, and
buried his face in Severus arm. "What's the matter? Why won't he tell us?"
"He called you because Narcissa has to be hidden away. Somewhere where the Dark
Lord won't find her. Draco will be safe in Hogwarts so we don't really have to
worry about him…and Lucius is a spy of Albus" Severus said than. Harry still
didn't looked up.
"Harry why didn't you tell us that?" Ann asked softly. Harry looked up at her
but made no attempt to talk. "Harry?"
"He won't talk if that's what you are waiting for Mrs. Potter" Draco said than.
Ann turned to the young blond and looked at him questioningly. "Harry doesn't
talk to anyone…nor makes an attempt to talk or get near someone he doesn't
really know."
"Why are you so sure of your words?" Alan asked them.
"He hasn't talked to me for the past five years, until a month ago. I think I
know him very well by now" Draco said simply. No one talked, nor moved for a
long moment.
"Very well than. In order to hide Mrs. Malfoy, we will need two powerful
wizards from the light. Do you know anyone?" Ann said than.
"Well…Albus and Harry" Narcissa said.
"What do you mean Harry is one. He's just a child" Alan said talking once
again. Harry stood up, his magic going wild at that moment. Alan backed away,
as Ann shook her head slightly.
"Harry calm down before you hurt someone" Severus said standing up in front of
Harry. The young wizard calmed down at once, and once everything was back to
normal Harry fainted in Severus arms.

"You better hope that nothing is wrong with Harry. He is no child, he has gone
through more than anyone in this room has. If you two are going to try to get
to know him, then make sure you don't say something that will offend him. Dobby
will take you to your rooms if you stay. Luc, Cissa, Dray follow me" Severus
said and walked out the living room and up the stairs with the Malfoy family
behind him.
They entered Severus' room in silence. Severus lay Harry on his bed and sat on
a chair near the bed. "Severus why did Harry react like that?" Lucius asked.
Severus waved his hand towards the door making it close and lock, a silencing
spell surrounding them.
"After I talked with Petunia on the day Jasmine was killed, she said that Harry
never let anyone but Vernon call him child. He hated to be called like that, he
hates it even more after his uncle died. When that bastard…when he…" Severus
closed his eyes. The others watch in silence. "When that bastard raped him…he
would always called him child, boy…or freak. He always forbid Harry from making
any friends, or talking with anyone."
"Sev…you need to calm down" Draco said going up to him.
"This morning…Bella called to tell me she had killed him. I just hope that
bastard suffered. Anyways, I ask you to please never call him 'child', or
'boy'" Severus said.
"We won't, I mean he is a young man. A young man that has gone through and
accepted a lot of things in his life. I just think that Mr. Alan Potter is
jealous or not 'soft' at all" Lucius said.
"I noticed that, James was the way he was so he could go against him. Believe
it or not James and I had to fake in public that we were enemies. While we were
friends behind everyone backs" Severus said.
"Where you in love with him?" Draco asked.
"No, he was like a brother to me and Lily like a sister. I was actually the one
that got them together" Severus said with a small smile.
"How, I mean they never could be in the same room without arguing" Narcissa
said.
"I asked them to meet me in a empty room…of course neither knowing the other
was going. It was a Friday, and I knew they were not going to leave me alone.
So when Lily entered the room to find James there instead of me…she was
surprised. I closed the door behind her and locked it. I put silencing spells
and locking spells on the door. Then I slipped a note under the door saying
that they wouldn't be able to leave the room until they accepted what they
really felt" Severus said and looked at Harry. His young pair bond seemed in a
peaceful sleep.
"You two really belong together, and I promise that at school I'll protect him.
I will help him in anything I can…and I'm sure Ron and Hermione will too" Draco
said smiling.
"Thank you, what I'm afraid of is him not trusting me" Severus said his smile
disappearing.
"Why do you say that?" Narcissa asked concerned.
"Before you three arrived he would always send Dobby to 'check' on me.
According to Dobby Harry was afraid of me leaving…instead of me staying. I just
wonder why" Severus said still looking at Harry.
"It's easy to answer that" Draco said than. Severus looked up at him
questioningly. "Well put it this way, his parents died when he was one leaving
him alone. Than his Uncle Vernon died when he was nine years old. Not leaving
him alone but leaving him, same as his Aunt Jasmine. He feels that if you are
out of his sight something will happen to you, leaving him alone once again. He
has started to communicate because of you and if something happens to you he's
going to break completely. Eventually not caring anymore," the young blond
explained.
"He's right Sev. I think Harry was only trying to make sure you were safe"
Narcissa said with a nod. When Severus looked unsure Draco smile slightly.
"Look at it from his point of view, he has not been able to be free until you
came into his life. He has been afraid that bastard would hurt anyone he got
near to…and now he thinks he will come to hurt you. You said it yourself, he
forbid Harry to get near anyone. Now that you have become part of his family,
of his life, and of his heart, you have become to mean more to him than
anything in this world" Draco said feeling weird having to tell that to an
adult.
"Well I understand that" Severus said looking back down at Harry.
"He loves you, Uncle Sev. He just hasn't realized it…I think that it's a new
feeling to him. Something that he has never experienced before, so all he can
do…or think to do is try to protect you from any harm. Try to take care of you
and hope you won't leave because of that" Draco said.
"I understand that part Dray. I just don't understand why he would send Dobby
to 'check' on me every five minutes" Severus said.
"Well Sev, if I'm getting this right…and I think I am. Than Harry is afraid of
you dying leaving him completely alone…because he has fallen in love with you
without realizing it, and now he's afraid of you turning your back on him"
Lucius said rationally.
"Thank you, for explaining this to me. I really appreciate you three telling me
something I'm so stupid to realize" Severus said.
"Not stupid but you're welcome. We will leave you to rest now. Good night Sev"
Lucius said as the other two nodded. Severus nodded and the Malfoy family left.
Severus stood kissed Harry's forehead and sat on the chair by the bed falling
asleep.

Harry awoke the following morning, first noticing that he wasn't in his room.
Than that he was comfortable and felt safe where ever he was. He sat down, when
he tried to raise his hand it felt heavy. He looked down next to him to find
Severus sleeping, his hand grabbing Harry's. The young wizard raised his other
hand and began to stroke Severus face.
Severus began to stir and Harry was about to move his hand away, only to have
it trapped by Severus' hand. Harry stared at Severus as the older man raised
his head. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you" Severus said at Harry's widen eyes.
Harry shook his head slightly. "No?"
"You didn't scare me" Harry said with his hands when he got his hand back.
"Oh" Severus said staring at Harry eyes. Severus leaned towards Harry slowly,
to give him a chance to back away. Their lips met and Severus moved his lips
slowly over Harry's.
'Uncle Vernon, what is it that I feel? Why is it that I feel safe with this
man?' Harry thought as he began to move his lips. Harry closed his eyes,
letting the feeling come. Severus had his eyes open watching Harry, hoping not
to scare his young pair bond. He broke the kiss when the need for air came,
both were breathing a little heavy.
"I love you, Harry" Severus said once both were breathing normal.
'Is that what I feel?' Harry wondered as he stared at Severus. After a moment
Harry smiled slightly and as he was about to lean down to kiss Severus again an
imaged came to his mind. Harry backed away fast and ran out the room and to his
room. He began to pace around his room, wondering.
Not long after there was a knock on his door. Harry walked hesitantly to the
door and opens it. "Hey, can I come in?" Draco said when Harry stood
frozen…surprised. Harry nodded and stepped backwards to let Draco in his room.
The blond entered, and looked around the room.
"Is something the matter?" Harry asked with his hands.
"Well, I went to look for you in Uncle Sev's room a moment ago. He said you
just ran out the room. What happened?" Draco said looking at his friend. Harry
closed the door and walked to his bed, he sat down and motion Draco to do the
same. "Did something bad happen?"
Harry shook his head negatively in answer.
"Than what happened?" Draco asked.
"We kissed before he told me he loved me…but I don't know what love is. Is it a
thing? A property? Can you see it?" Harry said with his hands. Draco stared at
Harry for a long moment.
"You are scared, why?" Draco said. Harry looked away. "Harry, I'll tell you
what love is if you tell me why you are scared." Harry turned to look at Draco
once again, studying him for a moment. Harry sighed before he began to move his
hands.
"When I was about to kiss Severus again, an image of him being killed by…him
came to my mind. I don't want that."
"Harry, Vincent won't come back. He can't come back" Draco said. Harry looked
unconvinced. "He has received the Demantor's kiss and has no conscious of
himself anymore. He won't come back, I'll promise you that much."
"Thanks" Harry said with a sight.
"Now, love is not a thing, a property…and you can see it in couples. You just
need to know how it is…love is a feeling that others feel. A feeling that makes
you want to keep the other safe, happy. Love is to sacrifices your self for
theirs, it's to let them go if the other person loves someone that is not you"
Draco said. Harry said nothing. "To love someone is to see that person smile
all the time."
"Do you think Severus really loves me?" Harry asked with his hands. Draco
smiled slightly at the question.
"I don't think Harry, I know he loves you. I had never see Uncle Sev act the
way he does. He used to push others away, never let anyone in…and with you…well
he lets himself be free. He smiles, he laughs, and he even worries about what
you'll do or think" Draco said.
"Thanks again" Harry said and left the room to go look for Severus in his room.
When he didn't find him there he went to the lab, and last to the garden to
find him sitting on the grass by the roses they both had planted.

Draco stood and was about to leave Harry's room when he saw a small album next
to the bed. He picked it up and looked at it, it was a muggle photo album.
Draco opened it and found Harry as a baby. Draco smiled slightly at the photo,
Harry was sleeping. He turned the page and looked at the different photos Harry
was in with his muggle family. Draco noticed that after the one that was label
9thbirthdaythere was no more photos. It was as if Harry had no more photos to
remember.
Draco closed the album and noticed there was something written on the cover, he
looked more closely and read. "'Harry James Potter Best Memories.'" Draco put
the album on top of the drawer and left the room closing the door behind him.
Break Line
Severus was sitting in the garden when a pair of hands covered his eyes. There
was no sound behind him, and Severus put his hands over the smaller ones.
"Harry?" Severus guessed. The hands left his eyes and he turned around to find
Harry smiling at him. "Is everything okay? You-" was all Severus was able to
get out before Harry kissed him.
Severus kissed his young pair bond slowly, as to not scare him. When Harry
backed away Severus saw he was smiling. "I don't know what love is…but I do
know that I don't want you far from me."
"I know you are confused because of what you have been through…but I'll be here
with you until you tell me otherwise. I'll be here" Severus said, and pointed
at Harry's heart at his last words.
"Promise me you will never let me go, never let anything happen to me" Harry
said.
"I promise you that I will never let you go. No matter what, I won't let anyone
take you away from me" Severus said and they kissed once again.

Harry looked at Severus as he was dropped off by him. They had been working on
their relationship slowly, because Severus didn't want to scare him. To make
him feel as if things had to go fast. "Will you still go to the school?" Harry
asked Severus before he got on the train.
"Yes, I'm still the teacher of potions. You are just going to have another
teacher" Severus said.
"But I don't know her, I don't know if I'll trust her. What if she's up to
something?" Harry said with his hands. Severus stared at him for a moment
before smiling slightly.
"Don't worry, we will see how things turn out. I promise that I'll talk with
Albus if you don't like the teacher. Now go" Severus said. Harry nodded and
kissed him on the cheek before leaving. Severus just stood there, as Harry and
Draco got on the train. Both walked to the compartment that they always went
to…there they met up with Ron and Hermione.
"Dray, since when are you friends with Mr. Potter?" Ron asked as Harry and
Draco where talking with their hands. Both wizards looked at each other as they
entered the compartment.
"Since this summer Ron…" Draco said and told them what had happened. Being
detailed in some parts and short on others. Never telling them whom Harry was
bonded with. "…And so I hope you guys don't mind he is part of our group now."
"Of course not, we are glad" Hermione and Ron said smiling. Harry was
surprised, but just smiled. Harry moved his hands, and Draco laughed at his
friend's confused expression.
"No Harry, they don't talk silent language" Draco said smiling. Harry nodded
and waved his hands making two pieces of parchment and quills appeared. Draco
just kept smiling at his friend's expression as the quills began to scribble on
their own accord. "Harry still doesn't talk" Draco said to Ron and Hermione.
"Oh" was all they said. The rest of the trip was light, as Draco translated
what Harry said with his hands to his friends. The four found each other having
fun every time Harry or Draco messed up on something, or when Ron and Hermione
said something stupid.
The door of the compartment opened and a boy stood there, but said nothing.
"What do you want?" Draco finally asked.
"Someone sent me to tell you to watch your back. That he is not yours but his"
the boy said and left at once. Draco was confused and Harry could tell by the
way he was staring after the boy. The other two seemed as confused, because
they didn't know whom the boy was talking about, but Harry knew. Someone
thought that Draco and him were together.
"What did he mean?" Hermione finally asked Draco.
"I don't know" Draco answered. Harry smiled slightly and looked out the window.
"You know, Harry. What did that boy mean?" Draco asked Harry making him look at
the blond for a moment.
"Someone saw us getting on the train together and now thinks that we are
together. So that person sent you a warning"Harry said with his hands. Draco
stared at Harry for a long moment before bursting out laughing.
"What are you laughing about Dray?" Hermione asked.
"Do you think Harry and me make a nice pair?" Draco asked.
"Well…" Hermione said but stopped at seeing that Draco was teasing her and Ron.
"Is that what that boy meant?" Harry nodded as Ron and Draco laughed. "We have
to admit that you two do make a nice pair" Hermione said smiling making Draco
and Ron stop laughing and Harry look at her with widen eyes.
"Lets not get this confused Herm', I already told you Harry is bonded with
someone and they are happy together. Besides I love someone else" Draco said
and covered his mouth when the last words came out.
"Who?" Hermione asked. Draco shook his head and Harry began tickling him.
"No Harry don't do that" Draco said between laughs. Harry continued and
suddenly they fell, Draco on top and Harry froze. "Calm down Harry, I'm not
going to hurt you" Draco said softly and stood. Harry relaxed and let his blond
friend help him stand up. Hermione opened her mouth but stopped when Draco
shook his head.
~Break Line~
Severus floo to his chambers in Hogwarts. He walked directly to the
headmaster's office. When he got closed to the gargoyle he stopped, he opened
his mouth to say the password.
"Severus, you must take care of your pair bond. I'm afraid he might be in
danger in the near future. Stay at his side he will need you, don't ever leave
him. Don't ever turn your back on him, don't ever under any circumstance,and
under any circumstancegive him your back."
"What is it? Why are you telling me this?" Severus asked the gargoyle. It was
known that the gargoyle that guarded the office of the school was able to
predict things, but never had it been so clear. It was known that if the
gargoyle warned you it was because whatever it said it was true.
"Never give him your back, always let him know what you feel and keep it at
mind at all times. Don't let anything make you forget that. Don't
letanythingforget how much you love him and how much he loves you in return
even when he hasn't noticed. Take care of him, Severus."
"I will" Severus said and the gargoyle stepped aside. Severus walked up the
spiral stairs as the words kept repeating in his mind. Severus knocked the door
and waited.
"Come in" Albus voice came. Severus recognized the tone at once, someone was
inside. Someone that made Albus act the way he did, Severus opened the door and
entered. At once he saw Cedric Diggory. "Severus, is something the matter?"
"Yes, but it can wait. I'll come later if you wish so" Severus said in the
detached and cold tone he used when he wasn't alone with his close friends.
"No its okay, Mr. Diggory is leaving now" Albus said. Severus watched as Cedric
looked sternly at Albus but left. Severus waited a few minutes…when he was
about to talk Albus rise his hand to stop him. "Please check." Severus watch as
one of the headmistresses left her portrait.
The paint was black for a few minutes, before the witch came back. "He has
left. I have asked the gargoyle to not let anyone pass unless you say
otherwise."
"Thank you" Albus said. The witch nodded and Albus turned to Severus. "Now tell
me what's the matter?"
"Harry is afraid he might not like Niphadora as a professor and I want to know
if he will be taking six year classes" Severus said.
"We will see how things turn out Severus, and if he doesn't like Tonks than you
will go back to teaching him…and I'll grade his papers. As for the second
question, that's up to Harry, if he wishes he will be taking sixth year
classes" Albus said motioning Severus to sit down. The potions Master sat down,
but he looked thoughtful. "What's the matter Severus? What is it that's
troubling you?"
"The gargoyle talked to me before letting me pass" Severus said. The wizard
didn't miss as all the headmasters and mistresses gasp and the surprised look
in Albus. "Am I guessing this is something that has never occurred."
"No its not that" Albus said softly.
"Than what is it?" Severus asked.
"Well I don't really know the story, Headmaster Black why don't you tell our
dear professor the story" Albus said. Severus turned to look at the portrait.
The black haired wizard smiled slightly something that Severus had never seen.
"It happened long ago my dear boy. It happened when I was a mere adult, it
happened to my twin brother. We were so close, always telling each other
everything. Never keeping a secret from the other. He fell in love with a girl
that was smart, beautiful, and had one weakness. Her parents loved her, but she
was taken away from them when she entered Hogwarts. She was forced to go to her
mother's sister house.
"For years she was treated as a servant. When she came of age, her aunt accused
her and she was forced to become their servant for life. My brother tried to
get her out of the house by law, for five years he was unsuccessful. In those
five years I became headmaster of this school. Like you I was an expert in
Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts.
"My brother came to the school, and I know that just like you he neared the
gargoyle to say the password in order to reach the only one that had influence
over the ministry. When he came to a stop in front of the gargoyle, the
guardian of this office came to life and spoke to my brother a warning.
"'My dear boy, when you liberate your love. Make sure you take her away from
here, make sure you take her to a place no one of her blood can find her. Not
even her parents, stay away for ten years. Than come back and look for her
parents, and bond with her as her dream is.'
"My brother confused asked, 'why is it that you want me to do that? Is she in
danger?'
"'Make sure you take her away from here, make sure you take her to a place no
one of her blood can find her. She will need it, she will need you at her side.
Than come back and look for her parents and bond with her as her dream is my
dear boy.'
"'I will' was my brother's answered, and the gargoyle let him pass. He came to
talk with me, and I talked with the minister, and his love was liberated. My
brother left the memory behind and a letter, and took her away. Took her to a
place no one not even I knew where to find them.
"Ten years later he came back and he looked for her parents and bonded with her
just like she dreamed. When he came to talk with me once again, he came face to
face with the gargoyle once again…and just like the first time he open his
mouth to say the password.
"'You kept your word my dear boy, and for that I'm grateful. I'm grateful
because if you hadn't you would be crying her death ten years ago. You would
have become a dark lord because you would have wanted vengeance on the ones
that hurt her, but because you saved her and took her away. She gave you light
to always look forward no matter what. Don't let that change my dear boy.'
"My brother smiled, and with his hand over his heart he said. 'I will always
remember the light she has given me. I will always remember your words and
warning.' The guardian moved aside and my brother came to me. When he was about
to leave his mother-in-law called us, to give us bad news. His love had died as
she gave birth to their first and only son.
"My brother was a disaster, but instead of using the floo system to go to her.
He walked out of my office and I followed him afraid he would do something
stupid. Once I stepped out of the stare case the gargoyle stepped back and my
brother bow his head. I didn't understand at first until my brother talked once
again. 'I will always remember the light she has given me. I will always
remember your words and warning, and now I will teach them to my son.'
"After that my brother disappeared with his son for eleven years, and I didn't
see him again until his son came to study in this school. He was happy, he was
a proud father. Something I had never seen in him" Headmaster Black stopped
talking and Severus looked back at Albus.
"I will always remember the guardian of this office words. I will keep them in
mind and the love I have for my young pair bond" Severus said. Albus smiled and
both wizards talked for a while until dinnertime came. The time Harry arrived
along with all the other students.
~Break Line~
Harry and his new friends got on the carriages that took them to the castle.
When they arrived Harry recognized the Quidditch Coach at once. Harry turned to
Draco and the blond Wizard looked at him questioningly. "I think we will have
to fake" Harry said with his hands as Hermione and Ron covered them.
"Why is that Harry?" Draco asked after translating what Harry had said to his
friends.
"The Quidditch Coach has never stop looking at me sense I arrived at this
school, and I know Severus doesn't like that. We will have to pretend so that
man stops bothering me" Harry said with his hands.
"Okay, just because I know you are right" Draco said. He translated what Harry
had said to Hermione and Ron, skipping Severus name. "So you guys know that we
have to pretend its true Harry and I are together."
"Got it" both said as one. Harry smiled and the four walked up the stairs, with
Draco and Harry in the middle. Draco was grabbing Harry's hand as he talked
with Hermione, while Ron talked to Harry about his family. Cedric Diggory
stopped them at the entrance.
"Is something the matter Mr. Diggory?" Draco asked.
"I would like to talk with Mr. Potter" Cedric said.
"I'm sorry, but that won't be possible. The feast for the new school term is in
a moment and we can't be late. Now if you excuse us" Draco said and took a step
to go around Cedric but the other stopped them. Draco nodded to Hermione and
Ron, and his two friends made a way for Draco and Harry to step around.
"I will talk with you, Mr. Potter" Cedric said when Hermione and Ron walked
behind Harry and Draco. The four arrived at the Great Hall, and Harry looked at
the head table. He locked eyes with Severus for a moment, before he saw a
wizard talking to Severus in a low tone and very close to him.
"Harry calm down they are just colleagues" Draco said when Harry tight his grip
on his hand. Harry calmed down and Draco lead him to a table along with his
friends.
~Break Line~
Severus watched as Harry ate with his friends and once in a while glance up at
him. Once dinner was over Albus announced the rules as always before he sent
everyone to their rooms. The first years being lead by the older students to
rooms the seven years had left. He watched as Draco, Harry, Hermione, and
Ronald walked out last.
"Don't you think Mr. Potter and Mr. Malfoy make a nice pair Severus?" Fliwick
asked Severus. The potion master looked at the small wizard for a moment before
standing.
"If you only knew Fliwick, if you only knew" Severus said and left leaving
everyone but his friends, Niphadora, Minerva, and Albus confuse. He walked to
Harry's room, making sure that no one saw him. Once he reached the room he
knocked and waited for a moment.
Harry opened and at seeing it was Severus he stepped backwards and let the
older man enter. Severus entered at once and watched as Harry closed the door
before walking to the small living room he had. Severus looked around and
noticed that everything was a mess.
"Harry is something the matter?" Severus asked. He watched as quills burst to
flames while trying to write an answer, and Harry struggling to answer with his
hands. Severus understood at once and smiled slightly. He hugged Harry and
stayed silent for a moment. "Harry, I love you and no one else. I will never be
with someone that is not you. Calm down, angel."
Severus watch as everything began to repair itself as Harry calmed and relaxed.
Both stayed like that for a while, until Severus began to move to a melody only
him and Harry heard. Both danced slowly, and calmly.
~Break Line~
Harry looked at his Advance Potion professor. She was nice and funny, it was
the end of the first term and he felt safe around the witch that was teaching
him. Still he kept his guard up…and he didn't have to worry about not seeing
Severus during the day. He still took sixth year classes, and either way he saw
Severus every night before he fell asleep.
Even when he awoke alone, Severus always left a small note by his drawer saying
at what time he left. Every time was the same, never leaving a minute later or
a minute early. Always at the same time, Harry put the last ingredient in his
cauldron the witch went up to him.
"Great job, full marks. You may leave" Niphadora said. Harry thanked her and
cleaned his area before packing his things and leaving at once. He met up with
his friends outside the room. Always waiting for him, since Cedric Diggory had
taken to following them when there was no practice.
"How did it go Harry?" Hermione asked.
"Full Marks in all the exams I took" Harry said with his hands. Draco
translated what he had said.
"That's great Harry" Hermione said. Harry nodded and the four walked down the
hall and towards the Great Hall for dinner.
When they reached the bottom steps they felt as the castle shook. It was as if
someone had hit the castle to make it tremble. Harry entered the great hall and
went up to Severus at once along with his friends.
"What's happening?" Harry asked with his hands.
"I think he has come to attack…it took him a while" Severus said. Harry nodded
understanding his words.
"Tell Professor McGonagall to make sure all the students, stuff, ghosts, and
portraits to be here. Then send one of the portraits to go to Albus and tell
him, I'm going out" Harry said with his hands.
"No, you can't go alone. At least wait for me" Severus said. Harry nodded after
a moment and waited for Severus. When the wizard came back, Harry along with
his friends, Sirius, Remus, and Severus walked out the back door.
~Break Line~
Tom watched as Harry Potter walked out the back door, just like he had
predicted. What he didn't see coming was that the young man was going to be
with company. All of them stopped and Harry stepped forwards as Albus
Dumbledore came out.
"So I finally come face to face with the young Potter. The one that I wasn't
able to kill, nor even able to near" Tom said coldly. He watched as Harry waved
his hands and words appeared.
"Hello Tom. I know that you have come to kill me. Why?"
"Its said you would over power me, that you would kill me" Tom said Harry waved
his hand once again making the words on the air disappeared and new comes
appeared.
"Why would I kill you?"
"Why wouldn't you?" Tom asked as his followers begin to go around them.
"I'm not like you" the words appeared as Harry waved his hand to make Tom's
followers from behind went forward and to their 'master'. "I don't tend to kill
who I don't know."
"How would I be sure of that?" Tom asked as his Death Eaters in the air fell to
the ground.
"I'm happy with who I am. I have people that love me. I have others that would
do anything for me. Something I don't think you have."
"I have many that would do anything for me…or why do you think all of them are
here for" Tom said.
"To follow your orders, to do what you wish…because they are scared of you.
Nothing more, they don't appreciate you like the ones behind me do. They aren't
loyal to you but to their beliefs"
The door opened once again and out came Cedric Diggory. Harry didn't moved as
the wizard walked to Voldermort and got on one knew. "So the true face of
Cedric Diggory comes out" Draco said smirking.
"Shut up Malfoy" Cedric said standing up and waving his wand towards Draco. Tom
watched as Harry waved his hand making Cedric's wand go to him, and the spell
to hit the ground.
"I said it once Tom…this wizard wouldn't had stand if he really was loyal to
you. He wouldn't had let any comment bother him if it wasn't true he was loyal
to you."
"Why aren't you killing me?" Tom asked as his followers on either side of Harry
flew behind him.
"I'm not like you. I have forgiven you since I was a mere kid. I don't see the
point in killing you."
"Than you will have to kill me if you wish to keep surviving" Tom said and
waved his hand towards Harry. A yellowish light came but Severus put himself in
front of Harry.
~Break Line~
Harry watch as Severus fell to his knees in agony, and then Severus was
stilled. Harry kneeled down touch Severus hand. It was cold, Harry begin to
shake his head. His magic going out of control. 'Why has he hurt you? Why has
he hurt anyone I care for?' Harry asked himself.
He looked up at Tom, and waved his hand making fire surround his followers.
Than he made words appeared in mid air once again.
"You have hurt someone I can't forgive you for. You have hurt someone that has
shown me more than anyone in this world. That I can't forgive you."
"Finally you react" Tom said and waved his hand again, but the spell was
reverse and hit him straight in the chest. Tom began to scream in agony, but
the spell was over in minutes. "What have you done?"
"No more will you hurt, no more will you know what have you become. Good bye
Tom."
As the words disappeared Harry fell to his knees, as Tom fell on his back cold.
His followers begin to scream as Harry fell on the ground. The last thing he
heard was Severus screaming before total unconscious took over him.

Chapter Notes
     Here is the beginning of the 7th Year. I hope you guys like it.
Chapter_~_14_-_Year_7_(Part_1)
Draco watched as his godfather sat at Harry's side. It had been three months
since the final battle and Harry had fallen into unconsciousness and hadn't
awaked. When Severus was able to get off his bed he sat next to Harry at all
times. He rarely ate anything, and most of the time he would talk to Harry
about anything that came to mind. He didn't let anyone from the ministry get
near the bed, and if one of them entered the room a shield around him and Harry
was formed letting no one get near.
Draco sighed for what seemed like the tenth time in the past minute. He looked
at the Headmaster who was talking with Poppy in whispers. "How is Uncle Sev
doing?" Draco asked. The witch turn to look at him for a moment.
"He's fine physically…but mentally…well he doesn't want to accept that Harry
must be let go" Poppy said.
"I don't think he will ever loss hope Madam Pomfrey, not after not being able
to be near him for so long" Draco said turning to look back at Severus who had
stood up to pull Harrys' covers down to his friend's waist.
"Why don't you talk to him Mr. Malfoy" Albus suggested.
"I have tried, but all he says is 'he will wake up.' He doesn't pay attention
to anything I say" Draco said.
"Go eat something Mr. Malfoy, lunch is in a minute" Poppy said.
"Please keep me informed. I want to know if anything changes…and I wish to talk
to Uncle Sev, about my little sister. She was born a few months ago, and I
think that might help" Draco said.
"I will tell you if anything changes" Poppy said and Draco left the infirmary.
Outside Ron and Hermione waiting for him. He smiled sadly at them and the three
made their way down to the great hall.
~Break Line~
Severus kept looking at Harry when Poppy neared him with a tray of food.
"Severus, you need to eat" the mediwitch said.
"Harry, you need to wake up soon, you are missing a lot of food" Severus said.
Poppy sighed and left as Severus began to talk to Harry once again. Albus
neared them then.
"Severus why don't you take a walk with me" Albus said.
"No, I have to be here incase Harry wakes" Severus replied.
"Severus. Harry is not going to wake anytime soon," Albus said.
"NO! He will wake, I know he will" Severus said. Albus sighed, as Severus
grabbed Harrys' hand and kissed it.
"Severus, you must accept that not many wizards survive after their magic gets
out of control, just like Harrys" Albus said.
"Don't you dare tell me that! Leave!" Severus said in a low cold tone.
"Sev-"
"I SAID LEAVE!" Severus exclaimed, as a barrier was formed around him and
Harry. Severus turned back to Harry. "I'm sorry love, I shouldn't have scream…I
just want you to wake so you can prove everyone wrong. Please Harry wake up
soon. I miss you."
~Break Line~
"Cornelius, you can't just take his life away. You have to give him a chance to
fight against death…and you know that even if we weaken Severus to a sleep, you
can't just disconnect Harry. Severus will turn into someone that will bring
terror to our people, and to the muggles." Lucius said. He was currently in the
Ministry of Magic main office talking with the minister.
"I understand that you want to help your friend Mr. Malfoy, but he must accept
Mr. Potter won't awake" Cornelius said.
"I'm just asking you for one month" Lucius said. Cornelius stared at Lucius for
a long moment. "Please Cornelius, I'm asking you as a friend. I don't want to
see Severus destroyed…not this way."
"Okay Lucius, I'll let Mr. Potter live for another month…but no longer. I don't
want to keep him like this if he isn't going to live his life" Cornelius said.
"I understand, and I'll make Severus understand. Thank you Cornelius" Lucius
said. Cornelius nodded and Lucius left to Hogwarts to tell Severus the good
news…or as good as they could be. He appeared to the Hogshead and than walked
to Hogwarts as fast as he could.
~Break Line~
Draco sat alone in a table in the Great Hall; it had been a week after his
father had stopped the minister from disconnecting Harry. Severus had thanked
his father for almost an hour, before he talked to Harry once again. Draco had
gotten used to it, and in hopes that his godfather was right he talked about
his little sister. Several students surrounded him and he looked up to see who
they were.
"Why aren't you in the infirmary? Aren't you afraid your boyfriend will die
anytime?" one of the many boys said.
"Leave him alone, open up" a girl's voice came. Draco recognized it right away,
it was the one he had fallen in love with.
"Hey Dray, want to take a walk?" Ginny Weasley said. Draco nodded and stood.
Everyone watch as they left the Great Hall in silence. "I know that Harry and
you aren't together." Ginny said making Draco look at her surprise.
"How?" Draco finally asked.
"Ron told me…he can't just keep everything from me. I force him either way"
Ginny said smiling. Draco smiled slightly but said nothing as they both walked
down to the lake. "You are worried about him? Aren't you?"
"Yeah…" Draco said with a nodded. Ginny nodded but said nothing. "..he's like a
brother to me. One that I didn't have at a young age. He is so innocent, and
shy…but when one of his friends is in trouble he becomes Mr. Hero."
"So he protects all of you?" Ginny asked.
"Something like that…but the one he would never forgive someone to hurt is…his
bonded" Draco said almost letting slip Severus name. Even when Hermione and Ron
knew whom Harrys bonded was no one else knew.
"I think I know who that is" Ginny said. Draco looked at her questioningly.
"Professor Snape, I think he is Harrys bonded."
"Why do you say that?" Draco inquired calmly, even when he was surprise that
Ginny had figure out who Harrys bonded was.
"The way Professor Snape looks at him during meals…is as if he would throw
himself in front of Harry in order to protect him. Than there is the way Harry
looks at Professor Snape, and all that nears him" Ginny said with a shrug and
turned towards the lake.
"There is something else you know. What is it?" Draco said after a moment of
calm silence.
"I saw Professor Snape enter Harrys room the night before the final battle, and
didn't go out until the following morning" Ginny said.
"They just danced and than Uncle Sev puts him to sleep. He never wanted to rush
Harry…not after all that he has gone through" Draco said before he could stop
himself. "I shouldn't have said that."
"I won't tell anyone if that's what you are afraid of" Ginny said.
"Thanks. They just want to be together with no one judging them…but they want
to wait till the end of Harrys Seventh Year" Draco said. Ginny nodded and both
stayed in a comfortable silence.
~Break Line~
He opened his eyes not knowing who he was, nor where he was. He sat up and
looked around to find a man sleeping right beside him…for some reason he felt
good having the man close. He looked around the room, but wasn't able to see
much in the darkness. He wondered if it was night already, he felt as the man
by him begin to stir and he froze in place.
Without knowing why, he extended a hand and caressed the man's cheek. The black
haired man leant into the touch and before he could move his hand away the man
had grabbed it in place. 'What's this feeling? Who am I?' he thought as the man
opened his eyes.
He watched, as the man's eyes were filled with shock, before happiness loomed
over them. "You have awoken. I missed you," the man said.
"Who…who am I?" he asked. The man stared at him for a long moment.
~Break Line~
"Who am I?" Harry asked again as Severus stared at him in surprised. Harrys
voice was so beautiful, and delicate. Severus smiled slightly, before Harrys'
question registered in his mind.
"Harry, you are Harry Potter" Severus said than as the sun begin to come out.
The doors of the infirmary opened then, and in came Albus, Lucius, Poppy, and
Cornelius. Severus stood fast covering Harry as a barrier formed around him and
Harry at once.
"Severus please let us past. It has been almost half a year and Harry hasn't
awoken" Lucius said. Severus shook his head negatively.
"I won't let anyone hurt him" Severus said and turned to Harry who was staring
at him in question. "Don't worry, no one will hurt you."
"Who are you?" Harry asked confused. Severus smiled sadly but didn't respond to
Harrys' questions. He felt a small hand on his right cheek than and he looked
at Harry. "Don't be sad."
"I'm Severus Snape," the Potions Master said. Harry looked thoughtful for a
moment, before he pointed at Severus and than at himself in question. Severus
smiled than in understanding. "Yes you and me."
"Severus please let us past" Lucius voice came again. Severus turned to look at
them.
"Who are they?" Harry asked softly.
"They want to separate us," Severus said sitting down and cupping Harrys' face.
"Why?" Harry asked.
"They thought you wouldn't wake…they think I was crazy to wait for you to wake"
Severus said. He leant down and kissed Harrys' forehead.
"Let them see me…let them see that I'm awake" Harry said with a small smile.
"What if they try to hurt you? I don't want that" Severus said. Harrys' smile
saddened for a moment.
"I know you won't let them," Harry said. Severus hesitated for a moment, before
moving slightly to the side to let the others see Harry sitting up on the bed.
He heard four gasps before whispers. The barrier around them lowered itself,
and Severus held Harry in his arms as the other four neared them.
"This is a miracle," Poppy said and the others nodded in agreement. Severus
said nothing as he began to rock back and forth with Harry in his arms. Poppy
took out her wand to scan Harry, but Severus stood with Harry in his arms and
turned his back on her.
"Put that away" Lucius said softly. Severus turned slightly to see if Poppy had
done what she was told and when he saw she had nothing in her hands he turned
once again and put the now sleeping Harry on the bed.
"He doesn't remember anything" was all Severus said before he sat at Harrys'
side once again. He heard as the others walk away, but he didn't care. Harry
had awoken; his bonded had proven everyone wrong.
~Break Line~
Albus called Remus, Sirius, Draco, Hermione, and Ron to his office to join
Lucius and Cornelius. Once the other five had arrived, silence ruled for a few
minutes. "So what's so important that you called all of us, Albus?" Sirius
asked.
"Harry awoke" Lucius said.
"What?!" everyone but Albus and Cornelius exclaimed in surprised.
"What you heard, Harry awoke. Severus says he doesn't remember anything, and he
still doesn't let anyone near Harry with a wand" Lucius said.
"That's understandable" Draco said softly making the others turn to look at
him. "What?"
"Why do you say that?" Cornelius asked.
"Well, all you guys have been trying to disconnect Harry from life. I don't
doubt that he still thinks that way," Draco said.
"He's right" Sirius said.
"Well, we now have to see how things will turn out. The end of the school year
is next week," Albus said.
"Yeah…I will leave now if there isn't anything else," Draco said. Albus nodded
and Draco left at once and not long after so did the others.
~Break Line~
Harry awoke once again, to find Severus sitting next to him. He didn't know who
the woman that walked between beds was. He didn't remember anything at all.
"Severus?" Harry said softly.
"Yes Harry?" Severus said turning to look at him.
"Who is she?" Harry asked pointing at the woman he didn't recognized.
"That's Poppy Pomfrey, the mediwitch of the school" Severus said. Harry nodded
thoughtfully. "Is something the matter Harry?" Severus asked worry.
"No…is just that she looks familiar yet not at all," Harry said with a small
smile. Severus smiled back with a nod. Both stayed silent, when a young blond
boy entered. "Who is he?" Harry asked as the blond neared them.
"Draco. I'm Draco Malfoy, your friend," the blond boy said before Severus said
anything. Harry stared at him for a long moment, and just like the woman deep
down he knew the boy look familiar and yet again not at all. He watched as the
blond boy talked with Severus in a close proximity that he didn't like. He got
off the bed and put himself between Severus and the blond boy.
"Harry?" Severus asked worried.
"Don't come to near him," Harry said to the boy. He watched as the young blond
smiled slightly before taking three steps backwards. Harry turned around and
hugged Severus.
"Hermione and Ron are outside. They want to see him" Harry heard the woman say.
"I think that each should come alone. I don't want him to feel the need to
protect us," Severus said. Harry looked up at him but said nothing. He took
Severus' hand and guided him to his bed, and once Severus was sitting on the
bed he climbed in and sat in front of him.
"Very well" the woman said before leaving with Draco.
~Break Line~
"When are we leaving?" Harry asked Severus at the end of the week. Severus had
let others near with their wand just incase of emergency, but he still trusted
no one but Poppy, after Draco talked with him, to check Harry.
"Tomorrow morning" Severus said.
"Good morning Mr. Potter" Poppy said. Harry looked at her in curiosity but said
nothing.
"It's Poppy, love. The one that checks if you are okay" Severus said softly.
Harry nodded, but still said nothing.
"He still keeps forgetting when he awakes?" Poppy asked. Severus nodded. "Does
he forget you?"
"No or he wouldn't wake me" Severus said.
"Have you tell this to Albus?" Poppy asked.
"He hasn't come after Harry awoke" Severus said. Poppy stared at Severus for a
moment. "I'm not leaving Harry alone when he doesn't remember anything."
"Very well, I'll tell him to come during lunch, since all the students are
leaving tomorrow" Poppy said. Severus nodded but said nothing otherwise. "I
have called an elf to bring you breakfast…it should be here in a minute."
"Thank you" Severus said and Poppy left. Not long after an elf appeared with a
tray of food and gave it to Severus. Harry stared at it with curiosity but said
nothing as the elf disappeared.
"What was that Sev?" Harry asked softly.
"That was an elf. They appeared and disappeared when their master calls them.
Now eat" Severus said. Harry nodded and began to eat the food the elf had
brought for him and Severus.
~Break Line~
"Should we go visit Harry?" Hermione asked Draco for what seemed like the
hundredth time.
"I don't know Herm', he doesn't remember anyone…except his bonded, when he
awakes. I don't want him to freak out," Draco said.
"Well we tell Madam Pomfrey and see how things turn out from there" Hermione
said. Draco looked at his girlfriend than at Ron, and finally back at Hermione.
"I don't know you guys" Draco said still unsure.
"Come on Dray, let's try what Hermione said. If Harrys bonded still doesn't
think its okay than we will leave…but lets try" Ginny said. Draco sighed in
defeat and Ginny kissed him on the cheek. "I knew you couldn't say no."
"You know he can't say no to you, Gin" Ron said with a chuckle.
"Just like you can't say no to Hermione" Draco said standing up and walking in
the direction of the Hospital Wing with Ginny at his side as Hermione and Ron
looked at each other for a moment. "Come on guys, before I change my mind."
"We're coming" Hermione said and both caught up to them. The four walked in
silence, and once they had arrived at the hospital wing Draco hesitated to even
open the door. "Come on Dray, we want to see him."
"Okay, okay" Draco said and opened the door. The mediwitch was with them at
once.
"Is something the matter Mr. Malfoy?" Poppy asked.
"We want to see Harry" Hermione said before Draco could say something. The
witch stared at them for a moment.
"Let me ask his bonded if it's okay" Poppy said.
"Take your time" Draco said. Poppy nodded and left at once. Draco watch as the
witch neared Severus and seemed to talk with him for a moment before Poppy
nodded twice and Draco didn't know if to take that as good or bad signs. Poppy
walked back to them.
"Mr. Potter's bonded said its okay, but to walk slowly so you don't scare him"
Poppy said.
"Thank you, Madam Pomfrey" Draco said. The mediwitch nodded and left them alone
as she went to check the other students in the infirmary. "Okay you guys
heard."
"Yes, slow so we don't scare him" Ron said with a nod. Draco stared at him, and
shook his head slightly before he lead the way to the small barrier Poppy had
created to give privacy to Severus and Harry.
"Uncle Sev?" Draco asked softly when he was inside the barrier. Severus turned
and looked at Draco. "How is he?"
"He's fine" Severus said and motion them to sit on the chairs he had produce.
The four teens sat down as Severus turned his back on them once again for a
moment. Severus sat on the edge of the bed and everyone watch as Harry leant
into him.
"Hi Harry" Draco said softly. The four teens watch as Harry looked at them with
curiosity.
"I know that I know all of you…but I don't remember any of you. So I will need
a little help," Harry said after a long silence. Draco nodded and stood slowly
so Harry wouldn't get in defensive.
"I'm Draco Malfoy, your first friend here. I'm Professor Snapes' godchild; I'm
16 years old. These are our friends…" Draco pointed at brown haired witch.
"…Hermione Granger…" than at the red haired wizard. "…Ron Weasley, and this is
my girlfriend Ginny Weasley." Harry stared at the four of them for a moment.
"Thanks…I think" Harry said with a smile. Draco watch as his friend looked at
Severus for a moment. "I want you to answer me with the truth okay?" Harry said
looking at Draco once again.
"Okay" Draco promise hesitantly.
"You have been introduced before. Right?" Harry said. Draco stayed silent for a
moment. He didn't want to lie to his friend, but he didn't want him to feel bad
either, and he had promised that he would say the truth.
"Yes, I came two days ago and when you awoke" Draco finally said.
"I thought so…I just had a glimpse of seeing you but I didn't know if it was
just my imagination" Harry said with a smile. Draco smiled back as he sat
down…so that was the reason his friend wanted to know the truth.

Chapter Notes
     Wow... four more chapters left. :)
Chapter_~_15_-_Year_7_(Part_2)
Severus and Harry arrived at Snape Manor the following day during noon. Harry
had been introduced to his friends once again before they had said their
goodbyes and good lucks for him to get better for his last year of school.
Harry had just nodded at them; Severus was not unsure of anyone anymore.
"Severus, where am I sleeping?" Harry asked suddenly.
"Well you have a room of your own, if you want to still sleep there. Or you can
move into my room" Severus said softly. Harry nodded in thought as they walked
up the stairs.
"I want to sleep in the same room as you" Harry said when they opened his door.
Severus stared at Harry for a moment before nodding. They moved Harrys' things
the muggle way for Harry to be able to see what he had.
~Break Line~
Albus, Minerva, Remus, Sirius, the Malfoy family, Ron, Hermione, and Harrys'
relatives were currently in the Dursleys' residence. Albus had reunited all of
them there for something important. No one had talked, and everyone wondered
why Albus had asked them to be there. The flames in the floo system came to
life in vivid green and everyone turned to see who it was. Everyone's, but
Albus', eyes widen at seeing Harry and Severus standing there, Severus stepped
out first and Harry followed staying behind his bonded.
"Hello Harry" Albus said softly. Everyone watched as Harry looked up at Severus
first who nodded in encouragement before looking at the old wizard, but said
nothing.
"Good morning everyone" Severus said as Harry got under his right arm and
turned his face towards Severus' chest.
"Good morning" everyone said with a curt nod, still looking at Harry. Severus
took a deep breath and before anyone could react Harry was standing behind
Severus, as Draco hugged his godfather. Severus returned the hugged awkwardly
not knowing what was the show of affection for.
"Don't touch him," Harry said suddenly pushing Draco away from Severus and
putting himself in front of his bonded. "Don't go near him, he's mine" Harry
said turning his back on everyone and hugging Severus possessively. Everyone
watched as Draco smirked, while Petunia and Dudley watched in surprise at
hearing Harry speak once again.
"Harry, don't you remember me?" Draco asked softly making the teen turn to look
at him. Harry stared at him with curiosity, but said nothing. Harry turned to
look up at Severus, who was staring at him with a smile.
"Who are they? Where are we exactly?" Harry asked in a whispered but everyone
heard. Severus just kept smiling.
"Why don't you let everyone introduce themselves to you and see if you remember
anything" Severus suggested. Harry nodded hesitantly, and Severus motioned
everyone to begin starting from Harrys' relatives.
"I'm Petunia Dursley, your aunt. Your Uncle Vernon died when you were nine, and
I remarried a year later to Vincent Dursley…" Petunia stopped at seeing Harry
tense for a moment. "…You entered the school of Hogwarts of Witchcraft and
Wizardry at eleven. You came back every summer for a month before having to
leave. Vincent was captured during your third year when we discovered he was
hurting you. He escape and than was captured once again in your fifth year. He
is gone now" Petunia finished. Dudley stepped forward as Petunia stepped
backwards.
"I'm Dudley Dursley, your cousin. My father was Vernon, and we got along all
the time. You stopped talking after my dad died, and you learned how to speak
sign language fluently I protected you from anyone that tried to hurt you, but
I failed when Vincent hurt you…but at the end you were stronger than what I
thought so that's good. You met your godfather Sirius Black, before you enter
your third year. Him and Severus saved you that year," the blond boy said.
Harry nodded once and Sirius waited before he talked.
"Harry?" Severus asked concerned.
"Its weird, I feel like I know everyone yet I remember no one," Harry said in a
low voice to Severus. Still everyone heard.
"Don't worry love, your memories will come back" Severus said. Harry nodded and
turned to everyone once again. Sirius stepped forward.
"Hey Harry, I'm Sirius your godfather. I was best friends with your parents,
and I'm still a friend to your bonded. I was in Azkaban, a prison for people
like us, for almost 13 years until my innocence was proven, thanks to your
bonded. I'm one of your teachers at school, but treat you equally as a student.
We haven't really got to know each other because you kept your distance from
everyone to try to protect them" Sirius said with a small smile. Harry looked
at the black hair man in front of him, still saying nothing.
"Hey Harry, my name is Remus Lupin. I'm also your godfather, I'm a werewolf,
but you haven't shown fright about that. I met you before you entered school, I
knew something was wrong here, but I wasn't sure. I told Albus and he came to
pick you up during your second year, when he noticed that indeed there was
something wrong he knew he had to bring Severus or Sirius to check if his
suspicious were correct. I was also best friends with your parents and still
friend with your bonded. I'm also your teacher at school, and like Sirius said,
we treat you equally as a student" Remus said.
"I think I saw you two days ago, didn't I?" Harry asked suddenly. Remus looked
at Severus to see if to say the truth or not, when Severus nodded Remus looked
back at Harry.
"Yeah, I went to visit you and I dare say you almost attacked me thinking I was
going to hurt your bonded" Remus said with a slight smile. Harry nodded
thoughtfully.
"I thought so" was all Harry said before he looked at the next in line.
"Hey Harry, I'm Ron and this is Hermione. We are your friends at school, along
with Draco. You didn't start talking to us until our sixth year, but we were
glad you began to notice us" the red hair said. Harry nodded with a small smile
that suddenly came.
"I thought you two always argued" Harry said suddenly. Hermione's eyes widen in
surprise before nodding hesitantly.
"Only when he says something stupid," the girl said. Harry nodded once again
and turned to Severus and everyone waited.
"I think that they are going out, but haven't said anything to anyone," Harry
said making everyone turn to look at Hermione and Ron who blushed.
"And you didn't tell me" Draco said suddenly making Harry turn to look at the
group once again.
"Sorry, we just started a week ago" Hermione said softly. She looked at Harry
suddenly making him take an involuntary step backwards and running into Severus
who put an arm around his waist to calm him. "How did you know, Harry? You were
sleeping when Ron asked me," the girl asked curiously.
"I don't know I just heard it" Harry said looking up at the ceiling. No one
said anything after that.
"I'm Draco, and this is my family…" Draco began making Harry look at him. "My
parents, Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy; they are friends with Severus, we stayed
over at your house before our six year started. That's how we became friends.
This little one here is my sister, Rosalie Malfoy, but I call her…"
"…Rose" Harry finished softly. Draco looked at him and nodded.
"Yeah, you and Albus helped mom stay safe before you defeated Voldemort" Draco
finished. Harry stared at the blonde's eyes for a long moment, but said
nothing. Than Harry raised his hands unconsciously and began to move them at a
high speed. Draco smiled and answered in kind in the same speed.
"Hey, that's not fair. How is it that you two begin to play the game that it's
meant for three or four" Dudley said making Draco and Harry turn to him.
Everyone just watch in hopes that it would help the young raven-haired wizard
to remember.
"Than join us," Draco said and Harry began to move his hands once again. Draco
followed and finally Dudley. It was as if they were making patterns with their
hands, than suddenly a small light came in between them, forming some kind of
small figure. They stopped than, and everyone looked at four small pieces of
wood fell to the floor. Everyone watch as Harry picked them up one by one.
"Dudley, Draco, Hermione, and Ron" Harry said. It was as if he was in a far
away place.
"Harry?" Severus said softly. The raven-haired teen looked at him, and smiled
slightly before he handed each of his friends and his cousin, a piece of wood.
The last ones that needed to be introduced were Albus and Minerva, but they had
said nothing yet and Severus wondered why.
"I think I know you two" Harry said turning to look at Albus and Minerva. "I
think you came to visit yesterday…" Harry stopped as they nodded, but he didn't
recall anything else. "Sev" Harry turned to his bonded.
"Yes?" Severus asked when Harry stayed silent.
"Where are we?" Harry asked suddenly.
"At your old home love" Severus said. Harry nodded and fainted; Severus caught
him before the young wizard hit the floor. "Well, we did all we could. I don't
want him to wake up in a place he doesn't remember. Thank you all for coming
here today and trying to help him remember some of the things he has
forgotten."
"Why don't you let him wake, and see how he reacts to all the ones that are
present" Albus suggested. Severus looked hesitant for a moment but nodded after
a moment.
~Break Line~
He could hear voices around him, but he didn't recognize any of them. He could
feel the one that he trusted right beside him, but where was he. What had
happened? Harry opened his eyes slowly and the first one he saw was Severus
kneeling at his side. "Hey" Severus said softly.
"Where are we?" Harry asked, as everyone stayed silent.
"At your old home love" Severus said. Harry sat up fast and looked around at
all the unfamiliar faces.
"You aren't leaving me here are you?" Harry asked softly and in panic.
"No, I'm not leaving you here" Severus said as Harry slid in his arms around
Severus fitting himself into Severus' arms.
"Who are all this people Severus?" Harry asked when he calmed.
"Friends love, they are friends," Severus said softly as he begun to hum a
melody that Harry recognized right away. He felt his body relax even more, he
felt himself drift away from reality. From the reality he could only remember
Severus and the small elf that helped him everyone morning.
~Break Line~
Severus stopped humming when he felt Harrys body completely relax. He stood and
sat on the couch Harry had been lying on. Everyone was silent, no one had
talked when Harry had awoken and he was grateful for that. "Thank you once
again, but I think that this time we must leave" Severus finally said.
"Okay, but take this with you. He used to look at it every time he came here"
Dudley said handing Severus a photo album. Severus grabbed it and walked to the
floo system to go home with Harry in his arms.
"Thank you" Severus said as green flames came to life taking him and Harry away
from everyone. It had been a week and Harry still woke with no memory of anyone
or anything but him, the house, and Dobby, his elf. Severus was worried, he
didn't want his young bonded to be like that anymore and deep down he knew
Harry hated being like that. He never liked to be clueless about anything.
~Break Line~
Severus was in his study with a sleeping Harry on the couch near the window
when an owl flew inside, drop the letter and left. It had been a week since
they had tried to get Harry to remember. His young bonded hadn't looked at the
photo album, but Severus said nothing about it. He opened the envelope and took
out the parchment inside. He began to read silently:
' Dear Severus,
Hello my friend, Draco wishes to see Harry again, and hopes that we can stay so
he can tell Harry more about their friendship in hopes that he would awake with
the memory. I told him I didn't know and he suggested writing to you so here it
is. It's your choice my dear friend, I'll await for your answer.
Sincerely,
Lucius Malfoy'
Severus looked towards Harry and wrote a reply and gave it to Dobby to take it
to the Malfoy family. Once that was done he walked upstairs and began to
prepare the rooms the family had used the previous year. Since he was doing it
the muggle way he forgot about everything. It was at four o'clock that he heard
something break down stairs.
Severus walked out of Draco's room and walk down stairs slowly, only to find
Harry in a similar position as the previous year. "We are friends Harry"
Lucius' voice came. Severus smiled slightly and walked behind Harry to find
Lucius in the same position as the previous year.
"It's okay love, they are friends" Severus said. Harry looked at him, lowered
his wand and turned around and hugged Severus.
"I see he still forgets" Lucius said as Narcissa and Draco stepped to his
sides.
"Yeah, he only remembers Dobby, the house, and me" Severus said as he felt
Harrys body relax. "You woke him, didn't you?"
"Technically he woke when we floo'd here" Draco said.
"I should have warned him," Severus said as he put a hand under Harrys; knees
to carry him inside the living room, followed by the Malfoy family. The four
were silent for a moment, when Dobby appeared. "Is something the matter Dobby?"
Severus asked his small elf.
"Lunch is ready, master" Dobby said.
"We will eat once Harry has awaken, thank you," Severus said. Dobby nodded and
apperated away.
~Break Line~
Harry awoke a while later, he could feel Severus at his side. He could hear
other voices around him, and decided to wait to see who they were. "So Severus,
has Harry looked at the photo album Dudley gave you?" a male's voice came.
"No Lucius, he doesn't look at it" Severus voice came.
"How about the one he had in his old room?" a younger male's voice came.
"He doesn't look at anything when he awakes Draco. All he does is follow me
around, or calls Dobby to inform him of my whereabouts" Severus answered. Harry
began to open his eyes slowly. He blinked several times before his emerald eyes
locked with black ones. "Welcome back."
"I know that there are people over" Harry said softly.
"That's right, Draco says you woke when they floo'd here" Severus said.
"Yeah, it startled me when the flames just went green and you were no where in
sight" Harry said unconsciously.
"Do you remember anything else?" Severus inquired.
"Well, I got up from the couch and pointed my wand at them as I back out the
door. Then the tall blond said they were friends, and you came. I don't know
what happened after that" Harry said, his eyes seemed far away, remembering
what had occurred.
"Yes, that's correct, you were startled by our friends here" Severus said and
motion with his hand to the ones across from them. Harry looked at each
curiously.
"Lucius, Narcissa, Draco, and Rose" Harry said softly. Severus nodded but said
nothing. "You were talking while I slept, I heard you say something about the
minister having an accident yesterday. Is he okay?"
"Yes, he is okay. He just had a battle with a wizard that broke the rules and
refused to be responsible for his actions" Lucius said as if Harry had always
remembered him.
"How about Ron and Hermione, I heard they were going out in a dream, is it
true?" Harry asked the young blond.
"Yes that's true Harry, you told us all a week ago" Draco said smiling
slightly.
"I don't remember that" Harry said as he try to bring forward the memory Draco
was talking about. "Sirius Black, Remus Lupin who are they?"
"Your godfathers" Severus said softly. Harry still didn't look at them.
"Ann and Alan Potter? Albus and Minerva? Poppy? Who are they?" Harry asked
looking at Severus with focused eyes.
"Ann and Alan Potter are your grandparents from your dad's side. Albus is the
headmaster of the school you go to, Minerva helps Albus, and she is one of your
professors at school. Poppy is the mediwitch, she takes care of the students
that aren't feeling well" Severus said softly.
"How about Petunia and Dudley Dursley? Jasmine Potter?" Harry inquired as he
let the information bring the images in his head.
"Petunia is your aunt and Dudley your cousin. Jasmine was your aunt too…sister
to your dad, but she was killed at the end of your fifth year" Severus said
softly.
"How about Vernon Dursley?" Harry said as his eyes refocus on reality.
"Vernon was your real uncle…"
"Real uncle?" Harry asked surprised interrupting Severus.
"Yeah, he died when you were nine and Petunia remarried a year later to his
brother Vincent…who hurt you until we discovered him before your third year of
school" Severus said. Harry seemed to look to a distant place before he turned
to Severus once again.
"I'm hungry" Harry said making Draco chuckle. Harry turned to look at the young
blond who tried to stop by covering his mouth with a hand. "What? I haven't
eaten at all."
"You ate your fruit this morning" Severus said as they stood and he put Harry
on his feet.
"That was like a million hours ago" Harry said and walked out of the living
room and to the dining room. He could hear the others behind him, but he didn't
care he knew that Severus wasn't going to let them hurt him…and even though he
didn't remember fully. He knew that he would remember in the near future and
hopefully that wasn't a long time.
~Break Line~
Severus looked at Harrys sleeping form on the couch. It had been three weeks
since the Malfoy family had arrived, and Severus was glad that Harry hadn't
attacked any of them when he woke. His young bonded would always keep his eyes
closed as he listened to the conversation around him. He than started to asked
questions of what they talked while he was sleeping.
So Severus had made it a habit to talk about Harrys' family, his friends, and
what was going on with the minister of magic. So when Harry woke, he would look
at the Malfoy family say their names in the order they were sitting and than
ask the questions. Severus or one of the Malfoy family would answer every
question.
Severus heard Harry stir, as the Malfoy family entered the living room. "Good
morning Severus" Lucius said softly as to not startle or scare Harry.
"Good morning Lucius, Narcissa, and Draco" Severus said as he watch his young
bonded stay still as he listened to the small conversation they had every
morning.
"I see Harry hasn't awoken yet," Draco said than. It was routine, each would
talk so Harry know who each were.
"No Draco, he hasn't awoken" Severus said with a small smile that everyone got
to see everyday.
"And here I was hopping he could hold Rose for me. Luc and I are going to
Gringotts" Narcissa said. Now that wasn't something she would usually say.
"For what Narcissa?" Severus asked curiously.
"Well Dray and Rose need new cloths, and Luc wants to check what's the big news
around the magical world is" Narcissa said with a smile. Severus only nodded,
but said nothing.
"Well is Draco going with you?" Severus asked after a moment.
"No, he's staying, he wants to show Harry the photo album" Lucius said. Severus
nodded as an idea came to his mind.
"Why don't you leave Rose with Draco while Harry still sleeps and than when he
awakes I'll tell him" Severus said. Lucius and Narcissa looked at each other
for a moment.
"We wanted you to come with us," Narcissa said. No one was able to react as
Harry was suddenly in front of Severus and staring at the Malfoy family with
anger and curiosity. "We won't take him away from you, Harry. I promise."
"Harry, calm down love" Severus said softly standing up. Narcissa had done a
daring move, but Severus knew Harry wouldn't hurt them. Not as long as Rose was
with them. Harry calmed down, and everything stayed silent. Everyone watch as
the young raven-haired wizard looked out the window. He looked at Severus and
opened his mouth to talk surprising everyone with his words.
"Just promise you will be back before the sun sets." Severus stared at his
young bonded and knew it was hard for him to accept Severus hadn't left the
house. He knew that his young bonded wanted Severus to go out and do his
business but Severus didn't know what to say. "I'm sure that Dray will protect
me…and Dobby too. I know that you will block the floo system, and put anti
apparition wards so no one will come in your absence."
"Just promise to stay calm while I'm gone and I will go" Severus said than.
"I promise" Harry said and…

"Just promise to stay calm while I'm gone and I will go" Severus said than.
"I promise" Harry said and kiss Severus on the lips. Severus returned the kiss,
it had been a while since they had kissed. Severus hadn't wanted to do it
afraid that he would scare Harry away. Even when his young bonded slept in the
same room as him. Harry would just cuddle up to him and let Severus tell him
stories of Lily, James, Sirius, Remus, and all that were involved in Harrys
life in hopes his young bonded would remember.
"Okay than, you know what to do if you need something" Severus said when they
separated and summoned his cape.
"Yes, I know what to do. Be careful, and remember before the sun sets" Harry
said. Severus nodded as Narcissa gave Rose to Draco. The Malfoy couple stepped
into the fireplace and floo'd away. Severus put up stronger anti apparition
wards, and than timed the floo system to be warded when he left, and opened
only when he and the Malfoy couple came through it.
"I'll be back" were Severus last words before the flames took him away, and to
the Liking Cauldron in Diagon Alley.
~Break Line~
Harry felt panic start to come to him, but once he saw Rose in Draco's arms he
calmed down. He walked up to them and sat down on the couch, next to a standing
Draco. "Have you asked Ginny Weasley out?" Harry asked suddenly making the
young blond look at him in surprise. "Sorry…I…"
"No Harry don't worry, you just surprised me" Draco said soothing the raven-
haired teen. Harry didn't look convince and Draco smile slightly. "I asked her
before my family came here. My and her family were surprised, even Ron. Either
way they accepted that we love each other and that we want to stay together.
She accepted to go out with me, and our parents agreed to get to know each
other for our sake."
"Do I know her parents? Have I ever met them?" Harry asked as Draco let him
have Rose in his arms.
"No, the only ones you have met were the ones that where at your old home. No
one really got near you, because you wouldn't acknowledge them…but I didn't
give up easily. I wanted to know you, the real you. The one that wasn't famous,
the one that forgave Tom for killing your parents…but unable to forgive the one
to hurt Uncle Sev. I wanted to be your friend, the one you could count on,"
Draco said softly.
"How about Petunia and Dudley?" Harry asked as he began to rock Rose in his
arms.
"Mrs. Petunia Dursley is your aunt. She took care of you, or that's what Dudley
tells me. I really don't know much about them…but Severus does. He knows almost
everything about your family" Draco said sitting down on the couch.
"I see, I heard you talk about an album," Harry said looking at the young
blond.
"Yeah, you had one here and one at your aunt's house. I think each is
different, I don't know…but I saw one in your old room. When I saw it for the
first time, I noticed that you looked at it all the time" Draco said with a
smile. Harry nodded but said nothing.
~Break Line~
Severus looked around the stores, Harrys' 17th birthday was coming up and he
wanted to buy something for his young bonded. He looked around, the Malfoy
family with him at all times. They finally came in front of a jewelry store,
Severus entered and the Malfoy couple followed curiously. "Sev, what are we
doing in here?" Narcissa asked.
"Harrys' birthday is soon, and I want to buy something for him" Severus said
looking around. He came to a stop at seeing a bracelet connected to a ring by a
small chain; the ring had a black pearl in the middle. "Excuse me sir, how much
is this bracelet and ring?" Severus asked. The wizard neared him and looked at
the jewelry that Severus was pointing at.
"That's for someone that is bonded to you, sir," the wizard said softly. He
looked old, hazel eyes, white hair, and thin lips.
"For a bonded?" Severus asked surprised. The old wizard nodded and Severus
looked at Narcissa and Lucius.
"I think that your bonded will like it. Why don't you get it?" Lucius said with
a small smile. Severus nodded and turned back to the old wizard.
"I would like to get it, how much will it be?" Severus asked.
"It will be 2,000 galleons," the old wizard said. As Severus took out the money
the old man went through a door behind the counter and came back with another
bracelet and ring. He put them both in the box and at Severus questioning look
the old man smiled slightly. "This is the other one, your bonded must put this
one on…since you have chosen that one for your bonded. Once that's done, you
have to seal the love you two feel for each other with a kiss."
"What does this bracelets really symbolize?" Severus asked as the old man
worked with the small boxes.
"The black pearl means love and protection for the other. The emerald pearl
means love and trust for the other. Each pearl has different meanings depending
on the couple. I can see in you that you love and want to protect your bonded
under any circumstance, and I'm guessing that by this your bonded loves you and
trusts you with that" the old man said as he finished with the bracelets. Each
in a different box.
"Thank you" Severus said as he pay the old man, and shrank the small boxes.
"Now to find something for Dobby."
"Dobby?" Lucius asked surprised as the three walked out of the store.
"Yes Dobby, he has taken well care of Harry and I think he deserves to be
reward for that," Severus said as they kept walking down the street.
~Break Line~
Harry began to walk back and forth in the study as the sun began to set. He had
been having a conversation with Draco, and the blond was currently sleeping
with Rose on a couch big enough for both of them. Green flames came to life,
and even though Harry knew no one but Severus and the Malfoy couple were going
to be able to come through, he took out his wand and pointed at the newcomers.
"I see you still get on the defensive when one comes through the floo" Severus
said as Harry hugged him.
"The sun is setting and I thought you were going to break your promise" Harry
said softly as the Malfoy couple carried their kids to their room leaving the
couple alone.
"I would never break a promise to you. I was just finishing buying some things
that you will need for school…and I wanted to make sure everything was ready
for the end of this month" Severus said kissing Harry on the forehead.
"Dobby came twice saying dinner was going to be ready in a moment," Harry said
than as Severus begin to move them in small circles.
"Now that we don't have to worry about being discovered, I'm going to ask Albus
to prepare another dance for the holidays" Severus said as they stopped
spinning around.
"Another dance?" Harry asked curiously.
"Yes love, another dance like the one in your fifth year…and now I'm going to
be the one to ask you to go with me," Severus said.
"I'll be glad to go with you" Harry said smiling at Severus, and leaning his
head against his chest. Dobby appeared than.
"Dinner is ready masters," the small elf informed them.
"Very well, call Lucius and Narcissa. I think Draco is still sleeping" Severus
said. The small elf nodded and bowed and disappeared from the living room.
"I think I'm remembering more…but I'm afraid to sleep now," Harry said
"Why love?" Severus asked softly backing away a little so he could see Harrys
face.
"I don't want to keep forgetting Sev, I feel like my world goes down. I don't
remember my family…the ones that took care of me for so long. The ones that
feed me and treated me with love" Harry said a lone tear making its way down
his tan cheek.
"You'll remember love. I know you will remember" Severus said drying the tear
with his thumb.
"But when Sev?! I have gone like this for…I don't know how long, and I still
awake with no knowledge of who everyone around me is! I want to remember
everything, to remember Uncle Vernon and his teachings. The one that told me
that life is not about hating but of forgiving all those you could…and now I
don't even remember that!" Harry screamed in annoyance and began to pace back
and forth.
Severus stared at his young bonded and let him keep screaming what he thought
he didn't remember when he was saying it out loud. It was a chuckle from the
door that made Harry stop screaming.
"Draco, why are you laughing?" Harry asked confuse.
"Harry, you just said that you didn't remember anything about your life…and
just a moment ago you summarized your whole life" the young blond said and
walked up to his friend. "You need to know, that it doesn't matter when you
will remember, but what you remember every time you wake up. Keep in mind that
no matter what, no one that loves you will leave you alone. Not even when they
are dead. As long as they are in your heart, and you in theirs there's nothing
on earth that can break the connection."
"Thanks, I needed that" Harry said going back to Severus and hugging the older
man. "Sorry for loosing control like that."
"Don't worry love, it's okay" Severus said with a small smile.
"Dinner is ready, why don't we all go eat" Lucius suggested. Everyone nodded,
and as Draco turned to leave Harry talked once again.
"Sorry for waking you up."
"It won't matter if I'm dead Harry, when you need me, I'll be there one way or
another. Always backing you up my friend" Draco said turning slightly before
leaving with his parents. Harry smiled than, and Severus led him to the dining
room.
~Break Line~
The end of the month was near, and Harry awoke with the knowledge that the
Malfoy family was staying there. That Draco was his friend, and that he wasn't
alone no matter what. Severus was glad of the progress his young bonded had
made. Harry was currently sleeping on the couch, as green flames came to life
in the chimney.
"Severus?" Sirius' voice came. Severus walked up to the fireplace and knelt
down.
"What is it Siri?" Severus asked.
"Is it okay if Remus, Petunia, Dudley, Ron, Hermione, and me come through?"
Sirius asked. Severus looked over at Harry for a moment.
"Yeah, and bring some stuff so you guys can stay for a while. Remember that the
day is near, and everything needs to be prepared and what other way than
staying over" Severus said turning back to Sirius.
"Okay than, we will be over in an hour or so" Sirius said and at Severus' nod
his face disappeared. Severus looked at Harry once again, he kissed Harrys
forehead and walked out the study.
"Lucius! Narcissa! Draco! Dobby!" Severus called out knowing all were already
awake. Not long after he called, said people and elf appeared in front of him.
"What is it Severus?" Lucius asked.
"Sirius, Remus, Petunia, Dudley, Ron, and Hermione are coming over in an hour
or so, and I want you guys to help me clean rooms for them" Severus said.
"Have you told Harry?" Draco asked curiously, and at Severus look everyone
smile and shook their heads even the small elf.
"What? It will be fun, to see who is in front of who" Severus said as they
walked up the stairs and to the guest rooms on the right side of the hallway.
"I sometimes don't recognize you anymore Sev. The only time you used to do
those kind of things was when Lily and James lived," Narcissa said.
"I have someone that has brought that back Cissa. I'm glad for it too" Severus
said as he entered a room and the other four begin to clean the rooms they
entered the muggle way. It was about an hour and a half when everyone heard a
crash down stairs. Severus walked out of the room, forgetting why he hadn't
told Harry anything.
"What was that?" Draco asked.
"I don't know" Severus said. The three wizards and witch walked down the hall.
At the door stood Harry, wand out…Severus still not remembering what he had
originally planned began to walk down the stairs. "Harry?" he asked so softly
that the Malfoy family almost didn't hear. Said wizard looked at him for a
moment before looking back inside the living room.
"We didn't come to harm you" Remus voice came and Severus remembered
everything. He walked behind Harry and looked at the sight in front of him.
Remus had Sirius behind him, as Ron had Hermione, and Dudley had his mother. "A
little help here, Sev."
"It's okay Harry, they all are friends" Severus said softly. Harry lowered his
wand and turned to hug Severus possessively. Lucius, Draco, and Narcissa walked
down the stairs and into the living room, the three were smirking.
"Please tell me that he didn't do this on purpose," Sirius said.
"Not really, he didn't want Harry to be scared, but he did wanted to see what
position you guys would end up in, and apparently one that he didn't expect"
Lucius said.
Remus and Sirius turned to accuse their friend, but at seeing the smile on his
face as he stroke Harrys raven hair stopped them. It had been so long since
they had seen their friend smile like that…the last time they remembered that
was when Lily and James were young. When they still lived.
"It has been so long since he smiled like that," Sirius said than.
"Indeed" Lucius said as everyone stared at the couple by the door.
Severus felt as Harrys' body relaxed completely, and he looked up at the
guests. "Did you wake him up?" he asked as he put one hand behind Harrys' knees
and the other on his small back.
"Technicality he awoke when we came through the floo," Sirius said with a mock
glare at his friend.
"Sorry about that…I didn't want him to get scare like that. He does it every
time someone comes through the floo, even if I had warn him, he would have
still done it" Severus said as he sat on the couch and motioned everyone else
to do the same.
"It's okay, it has been so long since you did something like that" Sirius said.
Severus just smile slightly and went back to look at Harrys now peaceful face.
~Break Line~
He could hear voices around him. He could hear the familiarity in each voice,
but he didn't know who they were. He stayed still as he felt Severus right
beside him. "Has he looked at the album?" a young male's voice came. One that
didn't belong to Draco, his friend.
"He looked at it at the beginning of the month, Severus had gone to do some
things and had to go with my parents to Diagon Alley. I show him the album and
explain some of the things he didn't recognized or understand" Draco's voice
came to his right.
"I see" the same young male's voice came…and Harry wanted to know who it was.
"Don't worry Dudley, he will remember in time" Severus voice came. Harry smiled
mentally when his bonded said the name.
"I know" the boy said. Harry stayed like that, wanting to know who else was
present, but unconsciousness took over him once again.
~Break Line~
Severus could feel that Harry was awake, and that he wanted to know his
cousin's name, and once he said it. He felt Harry trying to fight
unconsciousness, but was not successful. "Does he keep forgetting things?"
Hermione asked than.
"He remembers the Malfoy family now, after he began to scream about not being
able to remember anything…and in the process telling us what had happened
during his life" Severus said looking at the young witch.
"I see, well…than that means, that Harry needs to get mad more often in order
to remember others" Hermione said.
"No, Ms. Granger…it doesn't work like that" Severus said and stayed quiet. No
one talked hoping the man would explain.
"May I explain?" Draco finally asked. Severus looked at his godson for a moment
before nodding. "Harry remembers because he was frustrated about not
remembering anything about his life…and when I spoke I only said things that
came from the heart at that moment. It's as if he was able to relate things
with me, as I talked truth to him" Draco explained softly.
"Than why did he remembered Severus first? How is it that he remembered him
right away?" Ron asked.
"Well, Uncle Sev protected him, and Harry had fallen in love with him. A bond
couple is not easily forgotten…even when one of them forgets everything. Deep
down they will trust that person. They will trust that no one will hurt him or
her with the other near by" Draco said softly.
"How do you know all this?" Sirius asked making Severus look up at him.
"We had to find information on situations like this, when Harry lost control of
his magic in the battle field, the only reason he lost control of his magic was
because Tom had hurt Severus. Harry was unable to forgive that, he forgave Tom
for killing his parents…but he would have or would never forgive someone that
hurts Severus. That's why he reacts like that when anyone comes through the
floo," Draco said.
The flames came suddenly to life, and everyone watch as Harry awoke in an
instead taking out his wand and putting himself in a defensive position in
front of Severus. What no one expected was Harry to lower his wand and turn his
back to look at Severus.
"I know that he is not dangerous and that he wouldn't hurt me…but what I don't
understand is why is all these people are here," Harry said to Severus in a low
voice.
"I told you that everything had to be done by the end of the month," Severus
said.
"Yes, but what?" Harry asked as the flames came back to life, this time Harry
didn't turned around.
"That I can't tell you, Harry" Severus said. Harry kept staring at him, and
Severus sight. "It's a surprise."
"Well since you can't tell me…" Harry turned to Draco. "…Dray?"
"No Harry, don't get me into this. I don't know what he is talking about" Draco
said looking away.
"Yes, you know and you will tell me" Harry said.
"No Har, please don't involve me" Draco said standing up from his sit.
"So, no one will tell me…fine than" Harry said and left the room in a rash.
Everyone stared at him in surprise. Severus begun to laugh suddenly making
everyone turned to look at him.
"What's so funny Severus?" Lucius and Remus asked at the same time. Severus
stared at them for a moment before laughing harder and standing up. He walked
to the door and turned to everyone in the living room.
"Lunch will be in a moment since we all missed breakfast…" Severus said and
snapped his fingers. Dobby appeared at once.
"Have you call master?" the small elf asked anxiously.
"Please serve Lunch in the garden, Harry and I won't eat with our guests today.
I must talk with him, everyone please excuse me" Severus said and left leaving
everyone surprised.
~Break Line~
Harry began to pace back and forth in Severus and his room. He wanted to know
what his bonded was hiding. What was so important that he couldn't know? Harry
stopped when the door opened and Severus entered. The young man walked to the
window giving his back to Severus.
"Just like the little Harry I remember" Severus said than. Harry turned to look
at him questioningly. "When you learned to walk and I wouldn't tell you
anything you would walk away mad because I wouldn't tell you the surprise I had
for you."
"Well than tell me" Harry said.
"It's better if I show you another surprise" Severus said.
"Another?" Harry asked.
"Yes, come" Severus said waving his hand taking the anti apparition wards down
for a moment. Harry walked up to him and hugged him. "Close your eyes and don't
open them until I tell you."
"But-" Harry begin to protest but Severus stopped him by silencing him with an
index finger.
"Remember it's a surprise" Severus said softly.
"I trust you" Harry said and hugged Severus turning his face towards Severus'
chest. Harry felt as the floor under him disappeared, before touching ground
once again.
"You can open your eyes now" Severus said softly. Harry opened his eyes and
turned around to see the most beautiful sight.
"Where are we?" Harry asked softly.
"This was your parents' first home. James used to say that I would keep it once
you were old enough so we could live here…to come here when we wanted to be
alone" Severus said embracing Harry from behind.
"It's so beautiful" Harry said tears of happiness rolling down his face.
"Why are you crying love?" Severus asked.
"Because I'm happy" Harry answered turning around in Severus' arms and kissed
the older man on the lips. Severus kissed Harry back, slowly, softly, with care
and love. With great trust for the other.
Severus separate when the need for air came, and his black eyes met bright
emerald ones. "Do you want to see the inside?" Severus asked softly.
"Yes!" Harry beamed and Severus smiled back at him. He kissed Harrys' forehead
before leading his bonded to the house. The small path was beautiful, with
flowers on the path and the door was emerald. "The color of my eyes" Harry said
softly.
"Yes, your mum's eyes were emerald too. Your dad loved the colour, and when you
were born and had the same colour of her eyes he said you were the most
wonderful miracle" Severus said smiling.
"I love the colour of your eyes more" Harry said in a low tone that Severus
almost didn't hear.
"I'm flattered, but let's enter and see the interior," Severus said. Harry
nodded and Severus led him inside.
The inside of the house was beautiful. The couches were a light tan; the
curtains were light colors, matching the couches. There were portraits and
photos around the house. Above the chimney was a portrait of two people, that
Harry guessed to be his parents but he wasn't sure. He turned around ready to
ask Severus.
"That's Lily and James" Severus said pointing at the portrait above the
chimney. Harry turned back to look at the portrait with a small shy smile on
his face.
~Break Line~
Severus walked with Harry back to the spot they had appeared at as the sun
begun to set. "This is so beautiful Sev, and I don't want to forget I came here
with you today" Harry said looking down. Severus put a hand under Harrys chin
and made him look up at him.
"You won't forget love, mark my word you won't forget we came here" Severus
said and kissed Harry on the lips with all the love he felt for his young
bonded.
"I'll trust you with that" Harry said when they separated. Severus smiled at
Harry and the young man couldn't resist and return the smile.
"Let's go back home," Severus said embracing Harry.
"I'm home wherever you are," Harry said leaning his head against Severus and
letting his body relax completely as he let sleep take over. Severus carried
him bridal style and apperated away, making sure the wards around his house
recognized him before letting him pass and settle in Harrys' and his bedroom.
He laid Harry on the bed, kissed his forehead and smiled. "You won't forget the
place we went love. You can't forget because that home was your parents, and it
will become ours once you are out of school" Severus said into Harrys' ear
before kissing him on the cheek and leaving the room to go to the others.

Chapter_~_17_-_Year_7_(Part_4)
Severus walked down the stairs to find everyone in the living room talking in
low voices. He entered and cleared his throat making everyone look up at him.
"Good evening Severus" the Malfoy couple, Remus, and Sirius said as one.
"Good evening" Severus said sitting down in the couch that Harry usually slept
on.
"Where did you take Harry?" Remus asked.
"To the place that Lily and James loved so much. He's become more terrified of
sleeping every minute that passes" Severus said, as he made sure the wards were
back up. He didn't want anything to happen to Harry while he was in the living
room with the others.
"Terrified? Hasn't he been sleeping well?" Narcissa asked at once.
"Yes, but he thinks that if he sleeps when he awakes he will forget everything.
It has been like that for a while, if wasn't because of the song I sing to him
every night he wouldn't be sleeping at all" Severus said, sadness clear in his
voice.
"Don't worry Sev, you'll see he'll remember soon" Sirius said going up to his
friend and kneeling in front of him.
"I hope you are right Siri. That's the only thing he wants, to remember"
Severus said putting his face in his hands. He was tired of everything. He
didn't want to feel useless, and the only reason he showed a positive attitude
was because Harry needed to have hope.
"He also wants to be with you" Draco said and everyone nodded in agreement.
Severus said nothing to that, he knew Harry wanted to be with him…but would it
be like that when he remembered everything? Will it be like that when Harry
remembered that he wasn't there to protect him from Vincent Dursley?
"How are the things for the end of the month going?" Severus asked after a long
silence.
"They are going perfectly well, we just need the food, but that will be done on
the day," Sirius answered with a small smile. Severus nodded as Dobby appeared
in the living room.
"Is something the matter Dobby?" Severus asked.
"Dinner is ready Master Severus," the small elf said.
"Thank you, we will be there in a moment," Severus replied. The elf bow and
disappeared once again. "Shall we?" Severus suggested. Everyone stood as one
and began to walk out of the living room, Severus and Sirius being the last
ones.
"Severus?" Sirius said as Severus turned to follow the others.
"Yes Sirius?" Severus said turning to his friend.
"When James and Lily bonded you to Harry, it was because they knew that little
emerald would be happy. They knew that little emerald would be safe with you,
and that because of your position in the ranks of Voldemort it was
dangerous…still they only thought of Harry and your happiness. Never caring
that you had to be in the ranks of that man," Sirius said going up to Severus
and putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Thank you, Sirius. I needed to hear that" Severus said and his friend hugged
him.
~Break Line~
Harry awoke, feeling someone near his bonded. Someone that he knew wasn't
dangerous, but someone that he didn't remember. Harry got off bed and walked
down the hall and towards the stairs in silence. He walked down the stairs and
as he got to the last step he heard Severus talk before he saw the other man
hug him. Harry didn't know what he was feeling; the only thing he knew was that
he needed to separate Severus from the other man.
He walked up to them and pushed the other man away from Severus. "He's mine"
Harry said as he pointed his wand at the other man.
"Harry calm down love" Severus said embracing him from behind. Harry relaxed
his body but didn't put his wand down. "It's okay love he's just a friend."
Harry lowered his wand and grabbed Severus' hand.
"Don't go near him again" Harry said in a cold tone and walked out with
Severus, pulling him towards the stairs and up to their room. Severus followed
without protest, once inside their room Harry turned and hugged Severus
possessively.
"I thought you were sleeping" Severus said as he began to move them in a slow
pace.
"I felt someone near you…I knew he wasn't dangerous. I knew he meant no harm
and didn't want to take you away…but I can't help it" Harry said as tears came
down his face.
"Why are you crying love?" Severus asked softly.
"I know that no one in this house is dangerous and that I'm suppose to know
them but I don't Sev. I don't remember anything anymore. I remember nothing,"
Harry said.
"Do you remember your surprise?" Severus asked.
"The house we went to and belonged to my parents?" Harry asked and gasped in
surprise.
"I told you to mark my word you wouldn't forget the place Harry and you didn't.
I know you remember everyone down stairs if you look at them carefully. If you
give yourself a chance I know you will remember," Severus said. He knew he was
putting to much hope, but Harry needed to try, he wanted his bonded to be okay.
"I'll try, I promise" Harry said his body relaxing completely, and letting
sleep take over once again.
~Break Line~
Severus entered the dining room and everyone turned to look at him. "How is
he?" Remus asked.
"Sleeping again, you will have to excuse me. I promised him to be there when he
wakes up. I just came to say that Dobby will lead everyone to their rooms"
Severus said.
"Very well" Remus said. Severus nodded and left with a good evening to
everyone. Remus turned to look at the others, and noticed that he wasn't the
only one worry about his friend. "You think things will get better tomorrow?"
the werewolf asked softly.
"I don't think Remi, I know" Sirius said with a smile on his face. Everyone
smiled slightly and finished eating dinner.
~Break Line~
The following four days were well; after Severus had woken up he stayed in bed
until Harry woke. He then would ask several questions and Harry would answer
them without hesitating. Severus would smile, kiss his forehead and both would
get ready to go down stairs. The end of the month was going to be the following
day, and Severus watched as his bonded got frustrated that everyone would stop
talking the moment he entered a room and talk about something else.
"Sev, I want to know what's going on," Harry said to him during lunch. Everyone
turned to look at them; they had decided to eat in the garden.
"Ask them Harry, they might answer" Severus said with a smile.
"I asked every single one already and no one wants to tell me" Harry whined.
Severus' smile grew even more and everyone went back to talking about some game
that Harry didn't understand. "You know what, if I'm not going to get any
answers I'll just leave" Harry said after a while. He stood and walked to the
house closing the door with a loud thud.
"I think he won't talk to anyone," Sirius said. Severus shook his head still
smiling.
"Why are you smiling Severus?" Petunia asked.
"Don't you remember mum? Harry acted like that when dad supposedly forgot his
seventh birthday" Dudley said than.
"Yes, but he doesn't remember that his birthday is tomorrow. Does he?" Petunia
said looking at Severus.
"He remembers a lot of things now…why do you think he hasn't try to attack any
of you. He knows who everyone is, but he's not sure who is who…besides the
Malfoy family" Severus said standing up. "I better go check on him, I don't
want him to think I have left him alone."
"Luck with that Sev. I said it once and I'll say it again, I think he won't
talk to anyone" Sirius said. Severus nodded and entered the house. He walked to
the library to see if his bonded was there; sure enough Harry was sitting in
his chair.
"Love?" Severus asked softly.
"I don't seem to recognize them Sev, I try day after day" Harry said going up
to him.
"Shh…don't worry love, you will. Time will come" Severus said. Harry said
nothing to that, and just let Severus move them into a small dance.
~Break Line~
Draco looked at Severus' back, he knew his godfather. He knew that he
encouraged Harry everyday, even after his small outburst. Harry had been so
distressed trying to remember who was who, and when he couldn't place a face to
a name he would ask Draco.
"Mum, dad what are we going to give Harry?" Draco asked suddenly making
everyone turn to look at him.
"He loves to draw, so we will give him a sketchbook," Lucius said.
"Sirius and I will give him the equipment he'll need to draw in the sketchbook"
Remus said.
"Ron and I will give him the book 'How to Make Your Art Come to Life' and 'The
History of Magical Art'. Severus said Harry would like it" Hermione said and
Ron nodded.
"Dudley and I will give him the two albums we kept his drawings in and give him
a new one so he can put his new drawing there" Petunia said.
"And Sev? Does anyone know what he will give him?" Draco asked.
"That's a secret Dray" Lucius said. Draco nodded as he began to go through the
stuff everyone was going to give his friend. "Why did you asked?" Lucius
suddenly ask making everyone turn to look at Draco.
"I'm thinking that Ron, Hermione, Dudley, and I should make something for him,
just like he made the wood appear that day. Something that would come from our
hearts, I'm sure he will like it if we do that" Draco said.
"That's a great idea but what would we do?" Dudley asked.
"He likes basilisks, and he seems fond of Demantors" Draco said.
"I get the basilisks, but the Demantors?" Ron said with a shiver. Draco smiled
at the questioning look on everyone's, but Hermione's, face.
"In the second task Sev put a you-know-what in the bag, and two creatures came
out when Harry opened his hand" Draco said.
"A you-know-what?" Dudley and Petunia asked confuse.
"A you-know-what are magical creatures that convert into the one thing that you
are so fond of, or something that you like so much over anything. It can be
anything…but never a person," Draco explain. The two Dursleys nodded in
understanding.
"So what will we make him?" Ron asked anxiously. Draco smiled than as an idea
came to his mind. He knew that his friend was going to like it, and knew that
his friends would help him get it. Now he only need to tell Severus and see if
it was okay, and if Harry would really like it.
"I think I know" Draco said and motion the other three near him, making the
adults look at him in question.
~Break Line~
The following day Harry could hear everyone walking around the house. In and
out, but he wasn't able to see what was going on, Severus had awake at his
side, as every day but hadn't stayed in the room with him. He had said he
needed to make sure no one destroyed his home as they prepared everything.
Harry had asked what but Severus had simply smile and kiss his forehead before
leaving.
'I shouldn't have promise him I wouldn't walk out of this room' Harry thought
as he looked out the window. He could see everyone moving from one place to an
other, but he couldn't see what they were doing. "Dobby" Harry called softly.
The small elf appeared in front of him in mare seconds.
"Has Master Harry call Dobby?" the small elf asked.
"Yes, can you please call Sev or Dray. I'm getting bored in here," Harry said
sitting on the bed. The small elf went up to him and smile.
"I'll call and see what they say. Don't worry Master Harry" the small elf said
and disappeared. Harry smiled and waited in the room. He lied down and closed
his eyes for a moment.
~Break Line~
Severus and Draco were currently in the library talking about the present
Draco, Hermione, Ron, and Dudley wanted to give Harry when Dobby appeared. "Is
something the matter Dobby?" Severus asked at once. The small elf hadn't
interrupted him at all and he was wondering how Harry was doing but because he
was going back and forth he wasn't able to check on his bonded.
"Master Harry is bored and asked if Master Draco or Master Severus could go
with him," Dobby said.
"Tell him we both will be up in a moment" Severus said. The small elf nodded
and disappeared at once. "I knew he wasn't going to be able to break his
promise."
"Yes, but what if he asks Dobby?" Draco said as both walked out of the study.
"Dobby won't say anything. He knows its a surprise, and that he can't tell
Harry anything until Harry is able to see for himself" Severus said. Draco
nodded, and both walked up the stairs and to Severus and Harrys room. Severus
entered and found Harry lying on the bed, with Dobby at his side. "Harry?"
Severus asked softly.
"Master Harry has fallen asleep" Dobby said looking at the two wizards at the
door.
"It's okay Dobby, please go finish the things in the kitchen" Severus said. The
small elf disappeared and he walked to the bed. Draco right behind him, Severus
sat on the bed and looked at his bonded.
"He looks like an angel when he sleeps" Draco said from the end of the bed.
"He's an angel Dray, he's the only one that keeps me going in this life. He's
the only one that can make me happy" Severus said as he put a piece of hair
behind Harrys ear.
"Yes, he's the only one that can make everyone's day bright. He's our little
hero" Draco said. Severus looked at his godson for a moment.
"I know he will like what you want to bring, so you are welcome to do so…and
you can invite your girlfriend if you want" Severus said.
"How-"
"Harry told me the day after you told him, and when I asked him who had told
him. He said it had been you while you explained things about his life" Severus
said.
"Oh" was all Draco was able to say. Severus smiled and kissed Harrys forehead,
putting his young bonded in the middle of the bed so he wouldn't fall. "I'll be
going than" the young blond said. Severus nodded and Draco left, the older man
summoned a quill and parchment and wrote a note to Harry before leaving the
room.
~Break Line~
Harry woke up around five in the afternoon. He hadn't meant to fall asleep
after he sent Dobby to call Severus or Draco. Harry looked around and noticed
that Severus was nowhere in sight. Harry stood ready to leave the room but
something caught his attention.
' Dear Harry,
If you are reading this it is because you have woken up my little miracle. I
know that you will still remember your promise so I won't tell you what you
promised me. I'll be back in the room at six with something for you to wear so
please take a shower and get in something comfortable. I promise to be back on
time.
With Love,
Severus'
Harry smiled at the note as he remembered the promise he had made. He grabbed a
pair of pants and walked to the bathroom to take a shower. He didn't know what
was going on down stairs, but he did know that he remembered who they were…even
when he still couldn't place a name to each face that wasn't Severus or the
Malfoy family.
~Break Line~
"Is everything ready?" Severus asked five minutes before six.
"Yes everything is ready" Sirius said as he was finishing his checklist.
"Wait…"
"What?" Severus asked looking at his friend.
"We are missing your present on the table," Sirius said.
"I can't put my present because he will open it before anything can start"
Severus said.
"Well than, everything is ready" Sirius said.
"Good, everyone should go get ready" Severus said walking to the door.
"We are ready," everyone said. Severus looked at them and shook his head
slightly before walking up the stairs and to his and Harry's room. He entered
the room as the clock struck six o'clock.
"You are on time," Harry said looking up at him from the bed where he was
reading a book.
"I promised" Severus said closing the door and walking to his young bonded.
"What are you reading?"
"The Basilisks and Demantors History" Harry said smiling.
"You smell good" Severus said kissing Harry's forehead. Harry looked up at him
and their lips met. They kissed for a moment before Severus separated from him.
"I must get ready, oh…and here" Severus said unshrinking dark emerald robes.
"For me?" Harry asked.
"Yes love, for you" Severus said and kissed his young bonded on the lips one
more time before he went to the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out
Harry was standing by the window. "What are you doing there love?" Severus
asked going behind him and embracing him.
"Looking how the sun sets, it's so beautiful," Harry said leaning against
Severus. Both wizards watched as the sun set in the horizon. As the last ray
went down, the clock struck six thirty.
"It's time for you to see what has been going on in the house," Severus said.
Harry looked at him and smile. "You will have to cover your eyes."
"Do I have to?" Harry whined softly his smile fading.
"Yes, my little miracle" Severus said. Harry smiled at the nickname that
Severus had written down.
"Okay" Harry said with a sigh. Severus smiled and put his hands over Harrys
eyes and guided his young bonded out of the room and down the stairs carefully.
~Break Line~
Harry felt as the air touch his face, he didn't know what was going on but he
trusted Severus. He knew that whatever had been going on in the house was for
him. "Ready?" Severus asked him in his ear.
"Yes" Harry said. He felt Severus hands move away from his face but he still
didn't open his eyes.
"You can open your eyes now" Severus said. Harry did so and gasped at the scene
in front of him. The garden was decorated with white roses; there was a big
table in the middle, and a big cake on another table. Everything looked plain
beautiful, Harry felt tears make their way down his face as memories forgotten
to him came to his mind. From his childhood to his worst ones to ones with
Severus. The times his bonded would sing to him to sleep, and would talk about
his family as he slept in hopes he would remember.
Harry turned around and look at Severus. The older man was looking down at him;
his black eyes were both happy and worried. "Thank you, for this, for
everything."
"Harry?" Severus asked softly so no one would hear.
"I remember everything" Harry said and hugged Severus. The older man hugged his
young bonded and looked at everyone else with a small smile on his face. One
that was brighter than ever, one that everyone recognized at once.
"I love you my little miracle" Severus said to Harry as the young man looked up
at him.
"I love you my protector" Harry said and got on his tiptoes and kissed Severus.
The older man returned the kiss with all the love and care he had for the young
man in his arms. Everyone begin to clap making the couple separate.
"Happy seventeen birthday!" Everyone said as one. Draco stepped forward and
extended a hand to Harry in silence.
"You remembered" Harry said with a smile as he grabbed Draco's extended hand in
acceptance.
"How can I forget how we became friends?" Draco said smiling.
"…you remembered my birthday too" Harry said.
"How can anyone forget our little miracle's birthday" Draco said loud enough
for everyone to hear. Harrys smile grew as new tears came. "Why are you crying
Harry?"
"Because I'm happy" Harry said and let Draco hugged him. It felt weird, the
only ones that had ever hugged him was his family…and Severus. No one else had
ever hugged him, and it felt good to have a friend to count on. "I still count
on you no matter what, right?"
"Even if I'm dead I'll come here and help you" Draco said backing away.
"Thanks. Thank you everyone" Harry said as Petunia and Dudley came forward and
hugged him.
~Break Line~
Severus watch as Harry smiled at everyone. Albus and Minerva had got there half
an hour later and at Harry's greetings they looked at him in question before
Harry told them he remembered everything. Severus had been so scared of what
Harry was going to do once he remembered and now that his young bonded had
stayed with him, he knew that it was time to give him his second present.
"Okay, it's time to open presents" Severus said after everyone had sung to
Harry and everyone was in the living room. He watched as everyone tried to get
to Harry first, only making him go behind Severus. "Why don't you begin with
your friends present" Severus suggested looking at Harry. At Harrys nod
everyone settled down on the couches around.
"We made this yesterday, but we had to tell Uncle Sev before we could bring it
in" Draco said as he stepped with the other three in front of Harry. Severus
watch as the four gave the gift to Harry.
"What is it?" Harry asked as he turned it around in his hands and Severus was
sure that it was to see if there was something wrong with it.
"Open it" the four said at the same time. Harry nodded and unwrap the box, his
eyes widened in surprise at the small musical box in front of him. He opened
it, and Severus recognized the melody at once. It was the one that he always
sang to Harry, when they danced in the living room.
"It's beautiful, thank you," Harry said with a smile. He looked at each design,
and under each was the name of the one that had designed it. Dudley's design
was in front, it was a silver wolf. Draco's design was on the right his was a
basilisk, then it was Hermione's on the back, hers was a white falcon. Harry
smiled at that picture; the falcon was one of his many Patronouses. Ron's was
on the left; his was a stag and a dove looking at each other.
"We hope you like it" Hermione said.
"I love it, thank you," Harry said looking at each of his friends and cousin.
Next was the present of the Malfoy family. Harry opened it and gasped at the
sketchbook in front of him. It was about the size of a drawing table. The cover
was emerald just like his eyes, and in the right corner was the initials:
H.J.P.S.: "Thank you, it's beautiful."
"We didn't know what last name to choose so we put both Potter and Snape"
Lucius said.
"He's Potter-Snape" Severus said smiling.
"And you?" Harry asked.
"I'm just Snape, love" the older man said.
"Why?" Harry asked.
"Because under all the laws if my bonded is younger than me than I'm not to
have his or her last name, and the younger of the two must have both, his
bonded and his parents', last name" Severus said.
"I don't remember reading that" Harry said. Everyone watch as his eyes took a
far away look, as if he was looking for some information in his mind.
"Love?" Severus asked after while.
"I remember now, it's the 17th law, in all the creatures law book," Harry said
looking at Severus. The older wizard just smiled and kissed his forehead. Next
was Sirius and Remus, Harry opened the present and thanked them for all the
material he was going to use in order to draw in his sketchbook. Next was Ron
and Hermione, Harry unwrapped their present and smiled at the titles. He had
being wanting to get the books for a while now, and now he had them. "Thank you
guys" Harry said.
"Your welcome" Hermione said. Next was Petunia and Dudley, Harry took time
opening that present and when he saw what it was he looked at the albums that
had things inside already; he look at each of his drawings for a moment. He had
stopped drawing after his real uncle's death, and begun when he entered school.
It was more to make something for Severus even when he didn't know at the time.
"Thank you for bringing them to me" Harry said.
"We knew you would want to keep them dear," Petunia said smiling. Harry smiled
at her as she kissed his forehead. Next in line was the small elf; Harry hadn't
expected that.
"Dobby was given two friendship charms, and he wants Master Harry to have the
other" the small elf said. Severus smiled at that; he wanted something special
for his small elf. He had been with Harry a lot, helping in anything Harry had
needed. He watched as the small elf opened his boney hand to reveal a small
silver elf charm. Harry took it in his hands.
"This is so beautiful Dobby, thank you" Harry said and hugged the small elf.
"Dobby has the human charm" Dobby said when Harry let him go and showed Harry
the chain around his neck.
"It really is beautiful Dobby, thank you my little friend" Harry said. The
small elf beamed before Albus and Minerva's turned came. "Professors?"
"This is for you, we are sure it will help you in your last year" Minerva said.
Harry grabbed the two boxes and opened Minerva's fist. It was a set of quills
and inkbottles. The ink was in three different colors, black, blue, and emerald
green. Harry than opened Albus present to find two books. He picked them up and
read the titles out loud.
"'The History of Hogwarts of Witchcraft and Wizardy and the Four Founders,'and
'The History of the Forbidden Forest,'' Harry looked up at his professors.
"Thank you, both of you," he said smiling.
"We are glad that you like it" Albus said his smile reaching his eyes. Severus'
turned finally came and everyone waited as Harry put the last presents aside.
Severus stood and enlarged a box in his hand.

***** Year 7 ~ Part 5 *****
Chapter_~_18_-_Year_7_(Part_5)
Severus stood and looked at Harry, his young bonded was so beautiful when he
had curiosity in his eyes. "I was walking down Diagon Alley, wondering what I
should give you this day, when I came upon a store that caught my attention. I
entered and looked around, when I saw this I knew it would be perfect for
you…but I still had to ask for an opinion and my companions agreed that you
would like it" Severus said as he gave the box to Harry.
Harry took it and opened it, everyone watch with curiosity as the young wizard
took his time to unwrap the box. Severus watched as his young bonded gasp at
the jewelry in front of him. "Sev this is so…so…" Harry said unable to find the
correct word for the beauty in front of him.
"Do you accept to stay with me until the end of life?" Severus asked his young
bonded. Harry looked up locking their eyes at once.
"Yes I accept to stay with you until the end of life" Harry said with a smile.
Severus took the jewelry and put in on Harrys hand. The jewelry looked so
beautiful against Harrys tan skin. Narcissa stood than and gave Harry the other
jewelry.
"Put this on his hand before you two seal the love you have for each other with
a kiss" Narcissa said. Harry thanked her quietly and looked back at Severus.
"Do you accept to stay with me until the end of life?" Harry asked softly.
"Yes I accept to stay with you until the end of life" Severus said with a
smile. Harry put the jewelry on Severus' hand. The jewelry looked good against
Severus' pale skin. Severus kissed Harry softly on the lips and a light
surrounded both of them. Everyone in the room clapped than, and the couple
looked at them as the jewelry became invisible to anyone's eyes that didn't
know the jewelry was there.
"This is the best birthday I have ever had in years" Harry said.
"I'm glad" Severus said with a smile. He soon asked Dobby to put the presents
in their room. As everyone stayed in the living room and begin to talk as the
wind blew outside in a beautiful symphony.
~Break Line~
Harry looked at Severus as they were at the station. The Malfoy and Weasley
families were there. Ron and Hermione were holding hands same as Ginny and
Draco, his friends looked happy and he was happy because of that. This year was
going to be full of surprises as Harry was going to start talking.
"You promise to be there," Harry said with his hands to Severus.
"I promise" Severus said kissing his forehead and the five friends got on the
train as Severus and the rest stayed there. Harry and his four friends entered
the compartment he had entered from the first day he started school in the
magical world. He looked up at the cloudy sky and smiled as his friends sat
across from him.
"Why so happy, Harry?" Draco asked his friend.
"I have people that love me, the real me. I have the best friends I could ask
for…and I have a great cousin, a nice aunt, and the best bonded anyone can
have" Harry said looking at his friends.
"Yes that's right Harry. You have us and many others that love you for you"
Draco said with a smile. "…and like I said before, you can count on me no
matter where I am. If I'm dead or not, if I'm across the ocean or not I'll be
there if you need me."
"Me too" the other three said.
"Thank you guys and I'm here for you guys too" Harry said and everything was
silent for a moment before everyone began to talk about what they had done over
the summer before they went to Snape Manor.
~Break Line~
Severus watch as everyone entered the Great Hall. Harry was in the middle of
his four friends, everyone turning to look at him as he smiled, laugh, and talk
with his friends. Severus watch as everyone in the Great Hall smiled once they
saw Harry was laughing. 'You were right Draco, he can brighten anyone's day
with simply smiling' Severus thought.
He watched as his bonded put a spoon of mush potatoes in his mouth. Severus
watch as every girl tried to near him, but he didn't look at any of them as he
answered whatever question they were asking him.

Harry looked up at the Head Table and watched as Severus ate. It fascinated him
to see his bonded eat as if no one could disturb his peace. His black eyes
suddenly looked up and they lock with emerald ones. Severus smirked and kept
eating as Harry looked at his plate with a small blush on his face.
"What's the matter Harry?" Draco asked when he noticed his friend small blush.
"Nothing" Harry mumbled as the other three looked at him. Draco looked at him
for a moment before he smiled and shook his head.
"He likes to see you blush that's why he did it" Draco said in a low voice.
"I wonder if he ever blushes" Harry said looking at the charmed ceiling before
looking at Draco.
"Don't even look at me I won't say anything" Draco said looking away.
"Come on Dray" Harry pleaded as two girls neared the table.
"No Harry, I won't do it" Draco said as Ginny turned to talk to her brother.
"Not even if you get to see?" Harry asked innocently making the girls stop in
their tracks.
"No, not even if I get to see it" Draco said making the other three turned to
look at the two boys questioningly.
"Fine" Harry said and began to eat once again as the girls turned around and
walked away. Harry smirked than making the other four look at him in question.
"Those two girls think that you are taking advantage of Ginny and me," he said
with a smile to his blond friend. Draco looked at him and than at the girls
back and back at him before he burst out laughing as the conversation replay.
"Why are you laughing?" Ginny and Hermione asked as one, Draco looked at his
girlfriend for a moment before talking.
"What do you say if we let Harry join us in our relationship?"
"What?" Ginny asked surprised before she realized that her boyfriend was
playing.
"Did the twin sisters…" Hermione said. Harry nodded as he glace at the Head
Table once again. "…they really need to pay more attention." Hermione said with
a chuckle and the rest joined her and Harry just kept smiling. He loved to hear
his friends laugh at others wrong assumptions.
~Break Line~
Harry walked to his room in silence when he felt a pair of arms around his
waist before he entered his room. He turned around to find Severus looking at
him. "Don't do that," Harry said as his door opened and he walked backwards
with Severus.
"Why not?" Severus asked as the door closed behind him.
"I don't like it" Harry said with a glare.
"I won't do it than" Severus said and Harry smile before the older man kissed
him on the lips and begin to move them in small circles. "I love when you
blush, you look so adorable" Severus said in Harrys ear.
"Yeah Dray told me that" Harry said with a shy smile on his lips. Everything
was silent, until a question came to Harrys mind. "Sev, why have you never made
love to me?" The older man stopped moving them at hearing the question, making
Harry tense in reaction.
"We promised to your parents' photo that we would wait until you were out of
school…" Severus said looking at his young bonded. Harry nodded as the memory
came to his mind. "…and I didn't want to rush things after what happened to
you."
"I know…the memory just didn't come until now," Harry said as memories replayed
in his mind. He knew that his 'uncle'was dead now…but he still felt the need to
keep Severus protected no matter what.
"Harry, you are my little miracle. When you were in your mother's stomach you
would always kick when I came into the room. She would than call me and I would
sing to you. I had a new song everyday, always singing a song base on the mood
I was in…" Severus said. Harry looked away, and Severus put a hand under Harrys
chin and made him look at him. "…you became the reason of my life. Never forget
that."
"You have become the reason of my life too" Harry said and let his body relax
in Severus' arms.
~Break Line~
Severus walked down the hall to Albus' office. It had been a week of school
already and Harry was taking Advanced and Regular classes. He came in front of
the statue and opened his mouth to talk but the statue came to life before he
said anything.
"You stayed at his side no matter what. You helped him come back from the sleep
he was in, never letting anyone tell you he was not going to wake up. You
protected him under every circumstance. You stayed at his side when he didn't
remember anything, and helping him remember everyday without frustration
because he didn't remember anything every time he woke. You showed him love and
care, protection and trust. Be happy and always keep in mind that you love him
and he loves you back."
"I will" Severus said and the statue jumped to the side letting him pass. The
Potions Master walked up the stairs and knocked on the door.
"Come in" Albus said in a cheerful voice. Severus entered and stopped at seeing
all the professors inside. He walked to sit at Albus' right but said nothing in
the process.
"Why have you called us?" Minerva asked when everything stayed silent.
"The other headmaster and headmistress have sent a request of a ball dance this
year. The first place participants of two years ago will open the dance and
therefore must ask someone of their preference. I have called all of you
because at the beginning of November all the students will start to practice
and the students of the other school will arrive," Albus said.
"Why has this come up?" Minerva asked.
"The end of the war, and they want the event to be on a special day" Albus
said. Everyone nodded in agreement. "Well than it's agreed the dance will be a
week before the students leave during holidays."
"Why are you telling us this early?" Severus asked dryly.
"In case someone in the staff has already planned ahead, I must know now" Albus
said looking at everyone before looking at Severus.
"I have nothing so I'll be here" Fliwick said and everyone nodded.
"Good!" Albus said smiling. Everyone stood then and left the office one by one,
the last ones in the room where Remus, Sirius, and Severus.
"What's the matter Sev?" Sirius asked going up to his friend.
"You shouldn't get to near Siri, I don't want our godson to come through that
door and attack you" Remus said as the door opened.
~Break Line~
Harry was walking with Draco to his room when he felt many people near his
bonded. He turned around and began to walk in the direction he felt the
presence of his bonded. He could hear Draco calling after him but he didn't
stop until he arrived at the office the statue jumped aside as the professors
came down. Harry passed them and walked up the stairs, he opened the door as he
heard Professor Remus Lupin talk.
Without much of a thought he looked at Severus and then at Professor Sirius
Black. He walked up to them and looked at Sirius for a moment before he smiled
slightly. "Have you told him? I know he would be so happy to know" Harry said
surprising everyone that wasn't Severus.
"Wh-"
"You don't know?" Harry asked softly. He turned to look at Severus locking eyes
at once.
"Harry?" Severus asked softly. Harry motion Severus to lean down so he could
talk in his ear. Severus did so without much of a word.
"He's expecting Remus' child and he doesn't know. He should go to Poppy and see
if I'm not wrong," Harry whispered so low that only Severus heard. Severus
backed away a little and stared at Harry, he knew that his young bonded was
always right. So why doubt that Sirius was in reality expecting a child of
Remus Lupin.
"What is it Severus?" Sirius asked worry.
"He told me that you and Remus should go to Poppy right now to check you up and
see if he is wrong…" Severus stopped for a moment trying to figure out what
word to use without giving information up.
"…to see if my assumptions are right" Harry finished. Severus nodded and Remus
just looked at Harry with question. Harry stepped behind Severus not liking the
stares that the others were giving him.
"I think you should go Sirius, I want to know if he is wrong or not" Severus
said. Remus and Sirius nodded after a moment and the pair left.
"Why did you ask him if he had already told him?" Draco asked his friend.
"Not until they tell me if I'm wrong," Harry said.
"You are never wrong" Draco pointed out and Harry looked away.
"Aren't you two supposed to be in class right now?" Severus asked then.
"It's Thursday Sev" Harry said softly.
"So you don't have class for two hours, correct?" Severus said. Harry nodded;
the older man looked at Draco then.
"I don't have a class right now" the young blond said.
"Well my boys you two should leave and rest then…or finish any work you have"
Albus said than reminding everyone that they where still in his office.
"I'm done with my work" Harry said and pulled Severus out the office without
letting the other two say a word. Severus followed his young bonded until they
arrived at the lake.
"Why do you think you are wrong love?" Severus asked then.
"Not everyone is right Sev," Harry said looking at his bonded. The young raven-
haired teen sat down, and Severus followed.
"Yes, but it seems that you are always right on the things you say" Severus
said.
"I wasn't right to think Tom wouldn't hurt anyone if I forgave him. I wasn't
right when I didn't remember anything and attacked our friends" Harry said
locking eyes with the black ones.
"You thought Tom would not hurt anyone because that would have happened if he
had attacked Hogwarts when you were eleven…" Severus said softly. "…and you
attacked our friends because you didn't recognize them and didn't remember."
"I hate when you prove me wrong" Harry said.
"I didn't prove you wrong love, I just told you why you are right" Severus
said. Harry smile and lean against Severus' shoulder. They stayed like that
until they heard the bell ring. "Well, that means I have class."
"Why don't you send someone to teach your class so you can be here with me"
Harry said hopefully.
"Love, all the teachers missed one class because Albus wanted to talk with us.
I can't tell one of them to take my turn" Severus said. Harry sight in
exasperation.
"Can I assist you today then?" Harry asked after they begin to walk towards the
potions room.
"If you think that will help you stay calm that no one is going to steal me
from you than yes" Severus said. Harry was about to protest but Severus kissed
his cheek making Harry close his mouth.
~Break Line~
Severus looked around his class, two classes had gone by and Harry was helping
him deal with all the students in his class. No one had complained, and
everyone that had a question would ask without fearing that Severus would be
mean to them. It was as if they all knew that he, Severus, was unable to be
strict when Harry was in the room. He watched as a first year girl raised her
hand and Harry was at her side at once, as another boy raised his hand. Severus
walked up to him as he kept a close eye on Harry.
"Do you need anything Mr. Drake?" Severus asked softly.
"I think I added to much luxury powder," the boy said. Severus watch as Harry
raised his head and motion the girl to wait a moment as he went to Severus
side.
"You know that many say that the potions can't be ratified when you have done
something wrong?" Harry asked making everyone in the room turn to look at him.
Severus said nothing feeling proud that his young bonded was a good teacher
with the young students in his classes.
"That's what potion experts say in the books. They say that if you add too much
of an ingredient or if you add the wrong ingredient you have to restart it"
young Drake said.
"If you add the wrong ingredient yes, but if you add to much of an ingredient
then no" Harry said with a smile.
"How can that be?" young Drake said.
"Why don't you show them what you are able to do Mr. Potter, if we leave all
the potions too long they will be ruined" Severus said.
"Look at this" Harry said and waved his hand towards young Drake's potion
making the potion go to the right color.
"Wow" young Drake said softly. "What did you do? What spell did you used?" the
small boy asked. Severus looked at his young bonded who had turned to look at
him for a moment. Severus nodded in encouragement and Harry smiled.
"I'll tell all of you when you are done with this potion" Harry said. Everyone
turned to their potions then, and the work began once again. Severus walked to
his desk as Harry went back to help the young girl, that Severus now recognized
as the twin sister of young Mr. Drake. He watch as all the students worked in
peace as if nothing could disturb the silence that was in the room.
As the end of the class neared Harry waved his hand bottling all the potions
with the name of each student on them. "Are you going to tell us?" young Mr.
Drake asked anxiously. Harry smiled as Severus put the potions in a small case
to check the potions later.
"I didn't use a spell on the potion. I used the feeling; the need to correct it
to make sure it goes back to the right amount…" Harry stopped at the confuse
looks and smiled slightly. "…it's as if you tell someone that you gave them too
much candy and you need some of it back."
"Yes, but that doesn't always work. I tried that when I was little and the
potion still stayed wrong," young Ms. Drake said.
"It will not always work because you must know the secret that lies behind the
potion. If the potion is for something bad and you add too much of one
ingredient the wizard must have a big amount of darkness with in him to correct
the potion…but if the wizard or witch doesn't know that he or she is able to do
that then they restart the potion" Harry said. He motions all the first years
to near him and they do so at once, with a wave of his hand chairs appeared
around him and all of the students sat on them.
"So you say that if I have a lot of light my potion can be fixed with a simple
thought?" young Mr. Drake asked innocently.
"Not exactly, like I said to fix a potion you must know the secret behind it.
Not many are able to know the secret because they don't want to. They think
that just by making the potion it will work if they make it right…and it will
but not as much as if you know the secret that lies behind it" Harry explain.
Severus stared at his young bonded; he was a smart young man.
"I will tell you one thing; if you find the secret behind each potion you will
see that you are able to know more things that you let yourself. You can be
smart if you wish, your brain will work with you. If you decide to have
intelligence you will achieve it" Harry said his smile disappearing. Severus
looked at Harry's eyes and noticed he was in a far away place and he knew he
wasn't the only one that noticed. "I know that I'm a special person because
everyone considers me like that. I know that I might not be wrong in things…but
I have make mistakes in life. I will tell you one thing though, if you have
something bothering you…anything come to me and I will see how I'm able to help
you. Not only me but the professors in this school, trust me on that."
The bell rang then, announcing the end of classes. "Thank you Mr. Potter" all
the students said before inclining their small heads towards Severus in
respect. Once everyone was gone Severus locked the door and silence the room.
"What were you remembering love?" Severus asked.
"I was remembering that man. How he hurt me and because of me being afraid I
said nothing. I know that if I had said something in some way you or any of the
professors would had helped me," Harry said.
"It's not your fault love; you didn't know back then, and its time to tell the
students that they can trust us no matter what. That we won't leave them
alone," Severus said embracing his young bonded. Harry stayed in his arms until
he remembered he had class.
"I'll see you during dinner right?" Harry asked Severus when he reached the
door.
"I'll be there watching you, making sure that no girl or boy steals you from
me" Severus said with smile. Harry blushed at that and left after he smiled at
Severus. "Always my innocent Angel" Severus said in a low voice his smile still
place on his face.
~Break Line~
Harry entered his Advance Defense Against the Dark Arts class to find his
professors kissing. Harry looked away and cleared his throat. "Harry!" Sirius
said with a smile.
"Yes Professor?" Harry asked softly looking at Sirius.
"You knew, and you wanted to make sure you weren't wrong. You never are young
one" Sirius said. Harrys' eyes widened as he understood what his godfather, his
professor was telling him.
"I know" Harry finally said with a smile.
"Tell me what gender is it? Poppy wasn't able to, because she says it's still
small" Sirius said.
"What if I'm wrong?" Harry asked hesitant.
"It doesn't matter, tell me a guess and when Poppy is able to tell me the
gender we will see if you are wrong or not" Sirius said. Unconsciously Harry
reach to the only one he knew would understand him in his hesitation, of why he
didn't want to tell them the gender. The door opened and the three turned look
at who it was.
"Sev" Harry said going up to his bonded and hugging him at once. The older man
embrace his bonded and looked up at the other two men.
"What's wrong love?" Severus said.
"Sorry, I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable. I was just so excited" Sirius
said.
"I know, I just can't tell you because I don't want you to get your hopes up.
Just think that it won't matter if it's a boy or girl, you will love it because
it was made from the love the two of you feel" Harry said without looking at
the men.
"Thank you Harry. You may leave, we are going out" Remus said going up to the
young man and looked at him. Harry looked at him and nodded with a smile. The
older men left and Harry stayed with Severus alone.
"I want to go to the lake" Harry said softly. Severus put a hand behind Harrys
back and the other behind his knees. Harry stared at him, as Severus begin to
walk out of the room. "You know I can walk right," Harry said as he put his
arms around Severus' neck.
"Yes but I like to carry you" Severus said. Harry smiled and lean his head
against his chest as Severus walked down the stairs. It was a surprise no one
saw them. As they neared the lake, Harry relaxed his body, letting Severus know
that he trusted him to protect him.
~Break Line~
The holidays were nearing and Severus was a total mess. He didn't know when
Albus was going to tell the students and he wondered what Harry would do. All
the staff and students were in the Great Hall eating dinner. Albus stood up
then and everyone stayed silent at once.
"Students of Hogwarts a week before the holidays the school is planning to have
another dance. This dance is because of the end of the war and the Headmaster
and Headmistress of the other schools wish to have the dance during a special
day. The dance will be open by the first place participants," Albus said.
Severus watched as Harrys' eyes took a far away look, and he began to wonder
what exactly was his young bonded remembering. Albus dismissed everyone after a
while and Severus stood and began to make his way to Harrys' room. When he got
there he saw Harry standing outside, waiting for him.
"Harry?" asked softly.
"I don't know what happened two years ago, and I want to know why you said no
to me," Harry said. Severus tried to near him but Harry stepped away.
"I didn't know that Lucius was on our side two years ago, and I didn't want Tom
to find out that you and I were bonded, because I was afraid he would use it to
his advantage" Severus said. Harry said nothing and looked at the wall.
"I don't believe you" Harry said and entered his room locking the door at once.
Severus tried to open the door but found it was impossible. He sat down against
the wall across from the door and waited. Harry had to leave at some point to
go to class or talk with his friends.
~Break Line~
Harry looked out the window and tried to remember more of his past. He had been
doing so well, and it seemed that every time someone said something related to
his past or he could connect something to his past he remembered. He couldn't
believe that Severus had said no to him after he had asked the man, that he had
said cruel things.
Harry begin to cry silently as he lay on his bed, that day was the first time
Harry fell asleep without Severus being with him.
~Break Line~
Draco, Ginny, Hermione, Ron, and everyone that knew that Severus and Harry were
bonded noticed the sudden change in them. Harry would stop talking the moment
Severus entered a room and leave without saying anything. Severus would try to
stop him but with no success at all. Every time someone asked Harry would
change the subject to something no one understood.
"We need to do something?" Draco said to his friends and girlfriend. Harry had
left the Great Hall without even eating; he knew he wasn't the only one that
noticed. The whole school had gotten depressed the moment Harry had stopped
laughing or smiling. The students would look at him and turn to do their work
with a bored expression on their face.
"Yes but what Dray? We don't even know what's wrong" Ginny said holding her
boyfriend's hand. The students of the other schools had arrived and noticed the
behavior of Harry at once.
"Let's talk with Uncle Sev, he has to tell us" Draco suggested.
"Doubt it Dray, Remus and Sirius have tried to talk with him and he gives no
answer to anything they ask. Severus has even become more distant from his
students and Albus had to send a sub until Severus is more stable to teach us
again" Hermione said.
"WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!" Draco screamed in exasperation and left the Great
Hall in total silence at his outburst.
~Break Line~
Severus sat by the lake trying to remember something important. He knew that
Harry was mad with him and he knew that with good reason. So why was he sad,
why wasn't Harry with him. Was it because Harry had stopped loving him, had
Harry stop trusting him.
'No he loves me and I love him. I know he does' Severus thought as he stood up
fast and feeling dizzy. He stepped backwards trying to get a hold of a near by
tree when he slipped.
~Break Line~
Harry felt something off; he knew something was going to happen. He knew that
his bonded was in danger but he didn't know what was wrong. Harry ran out of
his room and tried to feel the presence of his bonded. He ran around for a
while until he came face to face with the double doors of the hospital wing.
Harry entered at once and ignored everyone as they turned to look at him.
~Break Line~
Draco watch as Harry neared his godfather and at once felt a barrier being
raised in warning. "Everyone back away" Draco said fast as he watched Harrys'
magic begin to go wild. No one had ever been able to control him but Severus.
No one knew what his godfather whispered in his ear for his friend to calm
down. Everyone was suddenly thrown backwards, and Draco watch as Remus made
sure to protect Sirius from getting hurt.
"What was that?" Sirius asked.
"Harry is mad with himself, he thinks it's his fault Uncle Sev is hurt" Draco
said. He looked at his friend and from where he was standing he could see angry
tears falling down his tan skin. "Everyone leave now," the young blond said
from his side of the barrier. It was as if Harry had meant to have him there,
but he wasn't sure.
"We can't leave you here" Sirius protested.
"Go, I'll be okay Sirius. He won't hurt me, go before his magic gets out of
control" Draco said. He watched as everyone left reluctantly, he turned back to
his friend but didn't move.
"What have I done Dray? He's hurt because of me," Harry said so softly that
Draco almost didn't hear.
"It wasn't your fault Harry" Draco answered as softly.
"Leave" Harry said and Draco could feel the barrier make a path for him.
"Harry it wasn't your fault, it was an accident" Draco said desperately.
"Yes an accident cause by my stupidity, now leave" Harry said with no emotion
that it scared Draco. The young blond walked to the door and glanced back at
Harry and his godfather for a moment before leaving.
"How is he?" Sirius asked at once, when Draco closed the door.
"He thinks it's his fault Uncle Sev had the accident," Draco said and everyone
sighed and waited for Harry to come out.
~Break Line~
He could hear someone crying near him, someone that was important to him.
Someone he didn't want to cry because of him. He felt himself wanting to stay
in the darkness but there was someone that needed him more. He needed to be
strong and reach for that person…but who was it.
"I'm sorry love, I should have believed you. I should have believed you were
saying the truth but the memory hurt so much. Please wake up" a soft musical
voice came.
Who was the angel talking to him? Who was the one crying for him to wake up?
"Go to him Sev, don't leave him alone. Protect our Harry until its time for
both of you to join us" a female's voice came. He remembered then, everything
that had happened.
He began to stir and at once felt the magic of his young bonded going wild.
Holding up a dangerous barrier for anyone that neared it, he opened his eyes to
find Harrys' head on his chest.
"Calm down love or you'll hurt someone," Severus said softly. Harrys' magic
calmed at once knowing that Severus was fine now.
"I'm so-"
"Shh, it wasn't your fault. I wasn't looking were I was going, I will be more
careful" Severus said interrupting Harry at once. Severus watch as Harry looked
up at him and their eyes locked with each other.
"Would you go with me to the ball?" Harry asked softly.
"Of course I'll go with you to the ball" Severus said with a smile. He watched
as Harry smiled and leant his head on his chest once again before his body
relaxed completely.
~Break Line~
The following day everyone was able to see that Harry was smiling again, that
he was better. Everyone's day was bright the moment they saw Harry smile as if
nothing had happened to him. They all wonder what had happened to him, but none
dared to ask, giving him privacy. Professor Snape was unable to go back to
teaching due to his accident, but everyone was hoping to have him back since
they learned more when he taught them then when the teacher they currently had
did.
"When is Professor Snape going to teach us once again?" a first year had asked
an older student.
"I don't know Joseph," the older boy respond.
"Once he is out of the hospital wing he will teach us once again. I promise
you" Harry had said with a smile before he left the two boys in the hallway.
"I wish he finds happiness always" Joseph said with a smile. The older boy
nodded in agreement as they watched the raven hair young man took a left turn
towards the library.
~Break Line~
The holidays finally arrived and everyone was wondering who Harrys' partner
was. He hadn't asked any girl or boy to go with him. Everyone was in the Grate
Hall waiting for the three first winning champions. The big double doors opened
and in went Terry Krum with a blond girl, then Mange Delacour with a black hair
boy and last Harry Potter alone. Everyone begin to really wonder if the young
man had decided to go alone. The candles suddenly went off as the three reached
the dance circle.
The candles came back to life again only to find Professor Severus Snape in
front of Harry Potter a hand extended as an invitation to dance with him. Once
Harry took his hand the music begin and everyone begin to dance. All the
students that were watching couldn't stop looking at Harry and his partner.
Watching how Severus and Harrys' magic was bright at the happiness each felt. A
happiness that each radiated to everyone, a happiness that everyone wished
Harry would always have.
As the song came to an end they watched as the two men in the middle stood
close to each other never looking away as they came to a stop. They watch as
Severus backed away bowing causing Harry to smile before each took a different
path. Harry going to his friends, Professor Snape going back to the staff
table.
~Break Line~
After the holidays everyone was wondering if what they had seen at the ball was
real. If Harry Potter and Severus Snape were together or not, neither showed
any indication that they did. Everyone could only guess and all knew that
Harry's friends and Professor Snapes' friends knew the truth. Still no one
dared to ask and just being happy that their savior was happy.
~Break Line~
Harry looked up at his professors Remus Lupin and Sirius Black. He was
currently in his advance class taking his final exam, and then it was Professor
Tonks, and then Professor/Headmaster Dumbledore.
"Do you have any questions?" Professor Lupin asked.
"No Professor, I was just thinking" Harry said. Remus nodded and Harry went
back to his exams at hand.
~Break Line~
Harry looked out the window; it was the last time he would ride the train. He
was going back home, finally able to be in peace with the ones that he loved.
The compartment door opened and Harry looked up to see his four friends enter
at once.
"When is the wedding?" Harry asked his friends with a smile.
"A week after Ginny leaves school next year" Draco said with a smile.
"We agreed to make it a double" Hermione said with a smile of her own. The two
Weasleys blushed a little but smile with a nod.
"That's good to hear" Harry said as the train begin to move.
"We want you to be the best man of our wedding along with Severus" Draco said.
Harry looked at his friends and looked out the window thinking of the answer.
"You'll have to ask me again tomorrow when Sev is present" Harry said looking
back at his friends. The four nodded and begin to talk about what they wanted
to do now that they were done with school, and about the career they were going
to have.

Chapter ~ 19 - Epilogue

Harry looked at his bonded, at his husband from the couch he was sitting on it
was night already and Severus hadn't stopped working. His friends had asked
them to be godfathers on the double weddings in a year. Both had agreed with a
smile and saying that they would be there. Harry stood from the couch and went
up to Severus. The older man looked up at him. "What's the matter Harry?"

"I'm wondering when you are going to make love to me" Harry said turning
Severus chair towards him. Severus put his arms around Harry's waist as the
young man kissed him.

"What do you say right now" Severus said. It wasn't a question. Harry nodded
and Severus stood and carried Harry bridal style.

"You know I can walk, right?" Harry said putting his arms around Severus' neck.

"Yes, but today is a special one" Severus said and kissed Harry as he walked up
the stairs and to their room. Harry smiled as Severus put him down on his feet
and kissed him again. Harry walked backwards as the door opened and Severus led
them to the bed at a slow pace. "Are you sure about this love?" Severus asked
when Harry's knees hit the bed and he fell on his back.

"I'm more than sure Sev, I know you won't hurt me intentionally" Harry said as
Severus' cloths disappeared along with his. Severus smiled and kissed his young
bonded once again. Both lie on the bed, Severus moved to Harry's neck and suck
a spot until it was red. When he was satisfied with his mark he began to move
lower as Harry moan under him.

Severus move carefully, always watching what he did and making sure his young
bonded had pleasure on what he was doing. He knew that his bonded was nervous
because of what had happened to him, but didn't want to stop the older man.
With a silent wandless spell he lubricate his fingers. He push one finger into
Harry and right away the young man tense.

"Relax" Severus said softly and kissing Harry in assurance. Harry relax at
seeing Severus not move at all as his body adjusted to the intrusion of his
finger. Once Harry's muscles had relax Severus began to move his finger in and
out.

He added a second finger and the process began once again, after a while he
added a third wanting to make sure his young bonded really was prepare for him.
When he slide his fingers out he position himself between Harry's legs
spreading them.

Harry felt something bigger at his entrance and tense as a bad memory came to
his mind. He didn't want to get hurt. "Relax love, I know it will hurt but I
promise it will get better. Just please tell me to stop if it hurts too much
for you to bear" Severus voice came.

Harry nodded and relax his body letting Severus push inside him. It hurt like
hell but he knew the older man wasn't hurting him on purpose, and he didn't
want the other to stop… so he stayed silent until Severus was fully inside.

"Love?"

"Just let me adjust" Harry said softly. Severus kissed him on the lips in
understanding and stayed still as his young bonded relax. Harry opened his eyes
and looked at Severus, the older man looked so beautiful over him.

"I love you" Harry said and without meaning it he moved making Severus hit
something inside him. Something that gave him pleasure and he moved again.

"Love don't do that" Severus said with a hitch.

"Why not?" Harry asked innocently and moved again. Severus kissed Harry as he
slide out and entered once again hitting the spot that made Harry scream in
pleasure.

Severus continued the pace slowing down or speeding up keeping them on a
comfortable edge wanting the moment to last as long as possible. The pace
became more difficult to keep. With a final trust Severus came deep inside
Harry and the young man followed when he felt the warm liquid of his bonded
inside him.

Severus slide out of Harry gently and lie on his side pulling Harry close to
him, both falling asleep as the air sang a beautiful symphony outside their
window.

~Six Years Later~

"Daddy, daddy!" a small girl screamed. Harry turned around to see Severus
chasing their little girl.

"What's the matter little Lily" Harry said as his little girl hide behind him.
Severus was with them moments later.

"Daddy wants to tickle me" Lily said smiling. She had straight raven hair down
to her waist, Severus' nose, Harry's cheekbones and eyes. The color of her skin
was in between but Harry loved it, their daughter was made out of their love.
She was smart like them, she understood adult conversations and knew when to
interfered and when not to say a word at all.

"Isn't that good?" Harry asked softly. Before Lily could answer another scream
was heard.

"Lily!" a small black hair boy ran up to her. He was skinny and good looking,
his eyes black like the night and his skin wasn't pale nor tan.

"Jimmy!" Lily screamed and ran up to the small boy meeting half way.

"I love her" Harry said turning to look at Severus a smile on his face.

"Yes I love her too" Severus said and kissed Harry on the lips. At their little
girl's giggle both separated and Harry blushed slightly.

"Can we go to Uncle Dray's house now?" Lily asked innocently.

"Let's go" Harry said as Jimmy smiled.

"Dad said to say hello to both of you. They will be late since they have to go
see when the baby is going to be born" Jimmy said.

"That's good" Harry said smiling. A moment later they floo to Malfoy Manor.
Once there Harry was greeted by two little girls and a boy. "I see everyone
here misses me."

"Uncle Harry! Play with us!" the three little kids said as one.

"Leave Harry alone, go play at the garden" Ginny's voice came. All the small
kids smiled and ran out of the house towards the gardens. "Hello Harry,
Severus" the red hair greeted.

"Hey Ginny, Where's Dray?" Harry said as Severus put his arms around Harry's
waist.

"He's in the room finishing getting ready" Ginny said.

"So he hasn't change on that aspect" Harry said smiling.

"Hey it's not my fault that I want to look good" Draco's voice came from the
door. He walked up to the couple.

"Sure, sure" Harry said as Severus let him go so his friend could embrace him.
"Good to see you my friend."

"Yeah good to see you too…" Draco said and paused for a moment. "…sorry about
the baby."

"Yeah" Harry said with a sad smile. He had lost his second baby in a
miscarriage and no one had known why. Everyone was sure Harry knew the answered
but no one was sure since the wizard didn't talked about it.

"Don't worry it won't happen again" Draco said.

"I hope you are right Dray" Harry said looking at his friend as the other two
stayed silent. "Lily was really sad but she pretends she is fine. I think she
really was looking forward to a little brother or sister."

"Yes she was excited, but I'm sure she is okay. She plays with the others, and
she knows that one day she will have a little sister or brother, maybe even
two" Draco said. Harry smiled at that.

"Thanks for telling me this Dray" Harry said and went back to Severus. The four
of them left the study and walked to the garden.

The sight was beautiful, white and red roses where by the window. A small field
where the kids could play, and there were several tables for their friends and
their kids' little friends. Harry forgot about his sadness for a moment
enjoying the party along with his bonded, his little girl, and his friends.

The life he had was a good one when he had all the people he loved around him,
and he knew that they loved him back.

"Are you okay love?" Severus asked making Harry get out of his thoughts.

"Yes, I was just thinking" Harry said with a smile.

"What were you thinking?" Severus asked softly as the kids begin to play a
game.

"That I was mute until you came into my life" Harry said and kissed his bonded.
Severus smiled into the kiss until they heard giggles around them. They
separate to find everyone staring at them with a smile on their face. Yes,
everyone was happy that Harry James Potter-Snape was happy and with the best
person anyone could imagine. The only one that they knew that could make him
happy, Severus Snape, a great Potions Master, a great Potions Professor, and a
fantastic husband, father and friend.
