Chapter Eleven

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE!" snapped a cold voice.

"Busted again," Harry mumbled as he came awake slowly to see a towering Professor Snape glaring down at him.

"YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT YOU'RE BUSTED! WHAT IS THIS! FIRST YOU SKIP SCHOOL FOR HALF A DAY, GET DRUNK ON SCHOOL PREMISES, AND NOW I SEE THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE HAD YOUR OWN PERSONAL ORGY! GIVE ME A GOOD REASON FOR NOT TURNING YOUR SORRY ASSES IN!" he thundered.

By this time, the rest of the group was wide awake and wide eyed. Hermione looked like she wanted to cry, Ron and Seamus managed to look sheepish, Draco looked amused, while Harry wasn't really feeling anything. Bad sign!

"Well, who is going to explain! I would love to hear this one."

"It was my fault, Uncle Severus. I wanted to celebrate, so I had my father owl me the best champaine," Malfoy said coming forward.

"Don't try to sweet talk your way out of this one, Draco Malfoy! And don't call me uncle! I am your godfather and nothing more!"

"But Uncle Sev! I love you," he continued, walking up to him.

"Keep your distance, Malfoy!"

"I just want to hug you, uncle! What's wrong with that?" he asked innocently.

"Ugh! I hate all Malfoys. May Merlin strike them dead!" Snape cursed as he strode out the door. "Class starts in five minutes!" he snapped over his shoulder.

"Shit!" the students yelled as they ran around to get dressed.

"Seamus, I need to borrow a shirt!" Malfoy.

"'Mione, where's my other shoe!" Ron.

"Find it yourself! I'm busy!" Hermione.

"Sure thing, hon!" Seamus.

When the five students were dressed, they ran down the stairs two at a time. "By the way, Draco! Why was the Professor trying to escape you like you had leopard disease?" Seamus asked as they ran.

Huffing, "He hates to be touched. Ever since I've known him, he's never touched anyone voluntarily."

They ran into the potions class, gasping for breath and stopped. It was nearly empty except for the smirking Professor at his desk.

They all turned to look at Snape. He was trying his damndest not to laughter. He snorted in amusement. "What silly children you are! Its Saturday!"

"You miserable old git!" Ron yelled in horror at being tricked by his professor.

"That's it! Attack!" Malfoy yelled.

The students wrestled their teacher to the ground. It took two to hold him down, two to tickle him, and one to stand watch at the door in case someone walked by.

"You will be serving detention with Filch, if you don't let me up," Snape tried to growl.

Ahem. "If i'm not interrupting anything...?" the Headmaster cut in politely with that damn twinkle in his eyes.

"Harry! You were suppose to keep lookout!" Ron said.

"Got distracted," he murmured in reply.

Snape turned to look at his young protege.

"Oh, don't blame Harry! I was being very stealthy!" Dumbledore said proudly pointing to his chest.

"Albus, how good to see you," Snape said with a little embarrassment while pushing Draco off him and standing up. "Detention for all of you!"

"Ouch, Uncle Sev! My butt's still sore!" Malfoy cried out then blushed bright red as his friends started laughing.

"I take it you kids had a good time last night?" Albus asked the blushing students. "Oh, to be young again!"

"How can I be of service to you, sir?" Snape cut in.

"Nothing, just came to see how the kids are doing and stuff..."

Snaped arched an eyebrow.

"Ok, I was bored. All the other student's took off for Hogsmeid."

"So that's where everyone took off to," said Seamus.

"Well I better go to see what I can scare up in the kitchen!" he said walking out of the room. "Oh! And congratulations, Seamus and Draco!"

"How does he do it!" Draco asked.

Smirking, Snape sat down in a dignified manner. "He is the greatest wizard out there."

"No, I bet he was watching-crazy old coot!" the blonde said pouting a little bit.

Seamus came up behind him and put his arms around him. "And he probably liked it too."

"I don't even want to think about that!"

When Harry was sure no one was paying attention to him he slipped out of the room.

Walking down the hallway, he made his way to the front of the school, and out the door. "What's wrong with me?" Harry asked himself. "I feel so weak."

Not really paying any attention to where he was going, he contined on walking until he found himself standing in front of the Forbidden Forest.

"To enter, or not to enter? That is the question," he quoted meaningfully. "Nah, I don't really feel suicidal. I'll go to Hargrid's cabin," he said turning around and heading for the cabin.

Upon reaching the cabin, he found no one at hoe, and just walked in. The gentle giant's place was a mess as usual so the boy set upon making the place presentable.He needed to do something with his hands.

Once he was finished, he laid down on the rug before the fireplace and tried to will the thoughts out of his mind.

It was on days ike this when he is forced to remember, Christmas was just around the corner and it pained him that he had no family to share it with.

The boy signs and just assumes he's getting sentimental and tries to sleep. In the end, he whispwered a sleeping incantation. It wasn't long after that that he was
unconscious.

In his sleep the boy was falling through an endless dark hold. Inside were voices that just kept multiplying and getting louder as he continued to fall. The scariest part of the falling was that there was nothing, no wall, nothing for him to touch. Nothing to reach out for. Nothing to save him from plummeting to a violent death.

"YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING GREAK! YOU'RE WORTHLESS! ONLY GOOD ENOUGH TO HAVE MY DICK SHOVED UP YOUR ASSHOLE!" Vernon.

"I HATE YOU. MY SISTER SHOULD HAVE ABORTED YOU WHEN SHE HAD THE CHANCE! DID YOU REALLY THINK SHE WANTED YOUR WORTHLESS ASS! OF COURSE SHE DIDN'T" Petunia.

"BOYS LET'S GET HIM! HE'S A FREAK! HE LIKES TAKING THINGS UP THE BUTT! FAG! GET HIM!" Dudley.

"YOU LIKE THIS DON'T YOU BOY?" the sound of a slap echoing in the dark hole could be heard. "ANSWER ME BOY! YOU LIKE THIS, DON'T YOU?"

The sound of Harry sobbing. "NO, PLEASE DON'T! I DON'T LIKE THIS! I DON'T WANT THIS! IT HURTS, VERNON!"

Another slap. "THAT'S UNCLE VERNON TO YOU, BOY!"

"STOP IT, VERNON! STOP! PLEASE!"

The boy started tossing and moaning in his sleep. "No!" he murmured out loud softly.

"ADMIT IT, BOY! YOU WANT THIS! YOU FREAK! I BET YOU'RE GETTING OFF ON THIS. WELL, I'LL JUST HAVE TO MAKE IT MORE PAINFUL FOR YOU!"

The sound of Harry screaming lent the black hole.

The sound of Harry screaming could be heard all the way in the school.

"YOU DESERVE THIS PAIN! SssAY IT, BOY! SAY YOU BROUGHT THIS ON TO YOURSssELF!"

"I brought it onto myself," the boy whispered in his sleep. "I deserve it."

"SSSSAY YOU'RE WORTHLESsssS!" came the Parsletongue.

"I'm worthless," he intoned.

"YOU DON'T WANT TO LIVE! YOU WANT TO KILL YOURSssSELF! YOU WANT TO SsSTAY IN HERE AND DIE! SsSAY IT!"

"I WANT TO DIE!" Harry screamed. "I DON'T WANT TO LIVE ANYMORE! I HAVE NOTHING TO LIVE FOR!" he continued yelling.

"THERE'SssS A GOOD BOY," the Parsletongue conjoled. "I CAN HELP YOU THERE. IT WOULD BE MY PLEASssSURE!"

Professor Snape blasted to hut's door open, after finding it locked from the inside. Running inside, he was surprised to see a five foot snake wrapped around his boy's body on the floor.

"No!" he yelled raising his wand to Voldemort. "Leave him alone!"

Another blast was wrought but it wasn't from his wand this time. It was from Ron, Hermione, Draco, and Seamus. They had delivered a blow at the same time and severuly wounded the slithering snake.

"YOU WILL ALL PAY DEARLY FOR THISSSSS!" Voldemort hissed disappearing.

"I WANT TO DIE!" Harry screamed again in his sleep.

Snape ran to Harry's side and shok him. "Wake up, Harry! He's gone! Wake up!"

Dumbledore walked into the hut.

"Severus, why isn't Harry waking up?" Hermione asked fearfully.

"Headmaster, why isn't he waking up!" Draco asked in the same voice.

"Albus, he isn't waking up!" came the panicked Professor on the floor.

Seamus had tears running down his face. "Headmaster, wake him up!"

Ron clutched Hermione to him. "Please, sir. Wake him."

Another scream rent the small hut. "I DESERVE TO DIE! I WANT TO DIE! I HAVE NOTHING TO LIVE FOR!"

The old wizard looked every bit of his old age as he stare down at the boy. "There's nothing that I can do..." he said sadly.

"Try something!" they cried.

"But the five of you can," he continues. "Did you hear his screams? Give him something to live fore. Yourselves, your love. He needs it more than ever now."

The four, desperate students ran to where Harry laid.

"Harry, I love you. Please come back to us! Wake up!" Hermione cried.

"C'mon mate! We're suppose to go inot Auror training together, remember?" Ron asked.

"There's still so many first years that we haven't scared yet! You can't go until we have scare every last one of them!" Seamus said. "I still have to thank you for getting Draco and I together."

"Harry, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye on a lot of things. Those first few years was a doozy! But I have always admired you. You're brave, smart, and incredibly handsome! You are everything that I want to be! Please, you can't leave me now! I need you!" Draco said crying.

"We all need you!" came the four together.

Snape leaned over to until his lips touched Harry's ear. "I love you, Harry," he whispered. "Need you, want you, can't live without you! You can't leave me! I was going to ask you to marry me once you're graduated! Don't you want to see that happen? I want to build a life with you. Have your babies! That sort of thing. You can't deprive me of that! Come back to me! Please come back to me," he said and kissed the boy on his lips roughly and kept them there.

The sleeping boy was startled when his friends and love's voice penetrated the the black hole in which he was slowly falling to his death. Hearing his friends pleas, he suddenly had something to live for. Reaching out a hand, he finally connected with a wall and stopped falling.

He was still floating, but at least it wasn't downward. Harry looked up and a light trying to pierce through the darkness around him. "Please come back to me," said the light.

His heart was suddenly lighter. He pushed himself off the wall, and flew to the light. 'Almost there... Just a little more... There!'

Feeling his love's lips on his, he responded by opening his own and running his tongue along the line of Sev's lips.

Stunned, Severus pulled back and looked at his boy.

Harry slowly opened his eyes. Starign down at him was the most beautiful sight he had ever seen. Severus Snape. Smiling happily, Harry reached up and ran his hand through his love's silky hair. "I love you, too, Severus Snape. And I would be honored if you would accept me as you LifeMate."

Wordlessly, Severus gathered Harry into his arms. "Yes!"

The sound of happy sobbign had the hut shaknig from the power of the emotions in it.

The End... Maybe!

A/N Harry and Sev's story is not finished. I didn't think that anything sexual should happen to them in this story. I'm sorry for those who wanted it... but it just didn't seem to fit the story. I have a sequal I'm working on... its called... "Once upon A Time" Look for it... Thanx to all who read and loved this story. Thanx to all who reviewed this story. It was fun to write!
