SUMMARY: Small drabble of what I think went through Harry's mind and Severus's mind after Dumbledore died. Based on both the 6th book and the 6th movie. (Implied HP/SS)
A/N/: So here is something that wouldn't leave me alone since I saw Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince so that's why I wrote it. Please read & review and let me know what you think! Flames are welcome too. I print them out and stick them to my wall. :D
Harry's P.O.V.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My heart wanted to break, but it couldn't, wouldn't, shouldn't. I stood in shock as Bellatrix, Fenrir, Draco and my love run down the Astronomy Tower's steps. Regaining my composure I followed them, stopping only to hex all the death eaters keeping me from my love. I watched the quartet run out of the doors. After casting another full body bind curse I ran after them. I had to play my part. I screamed curses left and right, only stopping when I was knocked down. I could hear my love's stern voice fill the air before I shouted the one spell I swore never to use again. He easily blocked it, as I knew he would. I tried without opening my mouth as Bellatrix was watching and he got angry.
He then told me that he was the half-blood Prince; that he had given the nickname to himself whilst in school. His face was schooled in the mask it needed to be in, but his onyx eyes bore into mine, apologizing for what he did and for what he now had to do. I only hoped that he saw what was in my eyes before his billowing black cloak whirled around and he left. I sat there with tears falling as I knew now that our paths would not cross again. Maybe someday they would, but as long as Voldemort was alive, I knew they wouldn't. I watched as my love disapparated from Hogwarts.
Severus's P.O.V.
I could not believe I was doing this to the one man I considered a father, knowing that the man I loved was standing in the corner, watching me. Watching me commit the one act I swore I would do. Grabbing Draco's arm I ushered him down the stairs as quick as possible and entered the fray of battle, watching my love's friends casting spells. I could hear my love behind me, desperately trying to catch up, to curse us all for what we had done, but I didn't care. I deserved everything that would be coming to me. The four of us, Draco, myself, Bellatrix and Fenrir ran out the large doors, my love following closely behind. When I neared the hut, I saw Bellatrix engulf it in flames before I heard different spells being shouted behind me. Turning, I easily blocked it and stared at my love.
He yelled the one spell that I had taught him, on accident of course, and I got angry when he tried it without uttering a word. I told him that I was indeed the half-blood Prince and that I gave myself the nickname while attending the school. His mask was in place, but in his beautiful emerald green eyes I saw the forgiveness and the love; I only hoped that he could see my eyes, apologizing and telling him that no matter what that I loved him. I turned away, knowing that if I stayed that I would scoop him up into my arms and never let him go. One day we would see each other again. If not in this life, then maybe the next one. No one saw the few tears that slid down my face as I disapparated from Hogwarts.
A/N: So what did y'all think? I tried to make this longer, but it just didn't want to. I hope I captured something and if you haven't seen the movie, I definately recommend it. Then you can see what exactly I'm talking about. Please R&R!
