"If I had world of my own everything would be nonsense, nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't" Harry muttered.

"Harry?" a deep voice said softly. "Your safe. I promise."

"I invite you to a world where there is no such thing as time." Harry continued to mumble.

Severus sighed. Harry had been like this for nearly 3 months. No one had thought the battle with Voldemort would damage his mind to this extent.

"Sometimes the curiosity can kill the soul but leave the pain." Harry sang.

'That's it!' thought Severus. ' We killed the soul or in this case the horcrux but maybe the pain of the memories it harbored remains.' With this in mind Severus set off to do some research.

'To think that was only a month ago." Severus mused,thinking back to what the near catatonic state Harry had been in. As he thought a slim figure sidled up next to him and wrapped arms around him. "What are you thinking about?" Harry queried. "Oh nothing. Just a song I heard once. It was a long time ago." And it was. It felt like eons ago.
