Summary: Albus stands watch over Harry's bedside the night after the

tournament, and is joined by Snape

Disclaimer: JK Rowling owns Harry and Co. I'm just playing with them, and I

promise to put them back in nearly the same condition I found them in

(nearly). I honestly don't remember who gets the rights to Les Miserables,

but I'm just enjoying myself with the wonderfully powerful songs.

To everyone who keeps complaining about the age difference between

Severus and Albus:

The difference of the ages just goes to show how powerful love is. Shove off.

WARNING: This fic contains implied m/m sex. I do not want ANY emails telling me how you don't like this kind of stuff. If you do not like it, don't read the damn story. It's that simple. Honestly, if you don't like this stuff, and read it anyways… well, that just makes you an idiot if you flame me. All flames will be met with Hanson mp3s of "MMMBop". If you can't say something intelligent, keep your mouth shut. I have no tolerance for flames.

[God on high

Hear my pray

In my need

You have always been there]

He stood in the doorway and watched the young man sleep. He had a horrible

feeling that this would not last. This peacefulness was soon to be gone,

destroyed perhaps forever.

[He is young

He's afraid

Let him rest

Heaven blessed]

Voldemort had risen again. Risen by the flesh of his servant, Wormtail, and

Harry's blood, he had found a way around one of the most powerful charms

that had been placed on the boy to keep him safe. Still, there were other

spells in place. The Familius charm that was cast on his Aunt and Uncle's

home, insured that as long as he was with his family, Voldemort couldn't

touch him. Then there was Mrs. Figg, a kindly old witch who lived near

Harry, who was his secret-keeper, and, more to the point, was loyal to

Dumbledore personally. Still, none of this made him sleep any better at

night.

[Bring him home

Bring him home

Bring him home]

Footsteps sounded behind him, but he ignored them.

[He's like the son

I might have known

If God had granted me a son]

Severus Snape had wandered into the quiet of the hospital wing. Gently, he

wrapped his arms around Albus and rested his chin on the other man's

shoulder after gently kissing his neck.

[The summers die

One by one

How soon they fly

On and on

And I am old

And will be gone]

"Albus," he whispered. "Bed. He'll be perfectly fine. Come on." Snape

tugged gently on his hand, pulling him along.

[Bring him peace

Bring him joy

He is young

He is only a boy]

Harry snored loudly for a second, then rolled over. Various murmurs from

the other sleepers sounded in protest to the noise.

[You can take

You can give

Let him be

Let him live]

Albus smiled. Even in his sleep, Harry could still bring a light into the

room.

[If I die

Let me die

Let him live

Bring him home]

He wondered if he would live through this. He hoped he did. Harry's powers

were growing miraculously quickly. The boy didn't know it yet. He had no

idea what he was in store for. Soon though. Very soon Harry would be old

enough to know. But not yet. He felt an impatient tug on his robe.

[Bring him home

Bring him home]

Severus Snape led him out of the hospital wing and he followed.
