Why Me?
Chapter eight- Voices
It had been a week since the incident with Remus. Harry and Severus had not spoken since that night. Harry sat against the tree beside the lake. He sighed sadly, 'He's probably pretending it never happened...after all I bet it was just pity. He could never truly care for an idiotic Gryffindor like me.' He stared at the giant squid in the lake.
"If only my life were as simple as yours." He smiled slightly. He continued to watch the squid for an hour or so before he decided to go back into the castle.
'Maybe I should visit Draco. Yes that seems to be a good idea.'
Severus sat next to his unconscious god son. He had been there every moment he could spare. Thinking about nothing but Draco and what had truly happened to cause his sudden arrival.
Harry arrived at the Hospital Wing. Instead of barging in like he would have done a year ago he carefully cracked the door open an inch to make sure there was nobody about.
"Damn!" He muttered, of all people he had to run into... 'Wait...what's the matter with him? He looks so sad.' Harry opened the door a little more and saw who Severus was watching. 'Draco? Oh that's why I've hardly seen him. Wait. Draco is just his godson isn't he? I mean there can't be anything more there...right?' He examined the look in Severus' eye.
"Damn! As unreadable as ever!" Harry cursed under his breath.
"Mr. Potter, made a habit of standing in doorways have we? It's not good manners to stand there murmuring incoherently to yourself." Severus looked up into Harry's brilliant green eyes. Harry blushed slightly and walked in.
"Sorry." He muttered. "You don't mind if I join you do you?" He asked hopefully.
"Pardon my questioning, but what do you want?" Severus stared intently into Harry's eyes.
"I want to make sure my class mate and professor, are both doing well." Harry answered truthfully. Severus seemed satisfied with the answer and went back to watching his godson like a hawk. Harry sat near Severus. Not so close as to draw suspicion, but close enough to keep an eye on his professor and let him know he was there for him.
'Great what do I do now? Well I told him I loved him...I meant it too...but, he was so overwhelmed with what had happened...maybe he wasn't sincere'
Harry was surprised to see the confusion in Severus' eyes.
"Professor, are you okay?" Harry inquired softly so he did not startle the older man.
"I'm fine Potter..." Severus growled back. Harry did not back down, he'd seen how ratty the potions master could get sometimes.
"Well you don't look okay, you look confused and I know that you do not let your mask go for something you consider trivial...so tell me maybe I can help."
"Since when where you an expert in my emotions?" Severus bit out angrily.
"Professor, I never claimed to be an expert I'm merely stating what I observed." Harry took in a deep breath and tried to calm his threatening temper. Severus fell silent staring at his godson. Harry could tell how bad Severus felt and that he needed to be alone. He stood and put a hand on Severus' shoulder, "I'm sure he'll be okay professor." He whispered and exited the room swiftly.
As soon as he was out of earshot, Harry burst out crying. 'It's as though I wasn't eventhere...have I done something wrong? What's going on? Stop being so selfish...What do you mean 'selfish'...well it's not as though his life revolves around you Potter...you were probably right in thinking he said it out of pity...I'd bet it was pity. I...I'm not listening... aww is the poor baby upset? Leave me alone! Why? It's not like I'm saying something you haven't already thought...LEAVE ME ALONE'
Harry clutched his head and ran as fast as he could towards the entrance hall.
A.N Sorry again everyone! But oh dear the voice is back...wonder what's going to happen. Sorry it's so short!!
