Hogwarts was still a mess after the war . Nobody noticed that someone missing except Severus Snape .Severus had been trying to search him, but he seemed to be vanish like air.

Severus was sipping wine in his room when someone knocked the door.

"professor, headmistress said that she want you to go to hospital wing." said the student fearfully.

Severus glared at her and she quickly fled from the snarky git.

"Cant she leave me in peace" he muttered under his breath and went to the hospital wings.

when he arrived, he saw Minerva's face and asked " what happen?"

"Severus... Finally you came, it's him ... Harry . He appeared in the hogsmead with blood covered his body. Poppy is healing him now. Can you help poppy healing him?" Minerva said quickly.

"maybe he had been fighting with his friend. That brat likes his father ."

"Severus ... Just help her ."

"indeed."

when he went to potter's bed,he saw that boy looked like a death body, his face was sickening white pale and his body was just like skin covered his bone. Then poppy snapped at him.

" Severus, go get the blood replenish and pain reliever in there."

"what happened to him?" he asked as he poured the potion in the brat's mouth and massaged his throat so that potter can drink the potion.

"he had been abused for 5 years but this 2 months it's get worse. I think physically he will heal, but mentally... I don't know."

when they had finished, Severus returned to his room to get some sleep. But his mind was buzzing with this discovery .how can he assumed that the boy was like his father ?

The next day , Severus went to the hospital wing. Poppy had been waiting for him when he entered.

"Severus , he's awake. Can you talk to him? I don't know how to answer his questions."

Severus nodded and walked to potter's ward.

" potter." he said . Severus saw how he flinch when he said his name." Harry. "

"p...professor, do you want to humiliate me? Can't you just leave me alone?" he asked tearfully.

" it's not like that . I just want to be friends with you." Severus said and winced when he saw Harry's expression. Harry gave him a suspicious glance.

"friends ? But... You're my professor. All my friends leave me, why you want to be my friends?"

"who said that we can't be friends?" Severus decided that he wouldn't ask harry about the abuse but let him said by himself. Severus didn't want to force him.

"but don't you hate me?"

"yes ,I hated you. But now i want to know you . i know i had been very cruel with you. Can you give me a chance ?"

harry wanted to believe that Snape told the truth but he's afraid. He's afraid Snape would leave him again. After the war, Hermione and Ron told him that they didn't want to be with him . they said that harry always gave them problem. The words feels like needles that jabbed Harry's heart . but this time he would try once again to believe someone," I'll try."

"because now we are friends , you must call me Severus and I will call you Harry."

"ok... "

The next 2 weeks , Severus always accompany harry until harry fit enough to leave the hospital wing.

"Severus... Tomorrow i will leave hospital wing. Where will i stay?"

"you can stay with me if you like."

"really?"

"yeah...if i didn't, why would i offer you?" he said sarcastically.

"thanks." harry said and hugged Severus tightly. Severus didn't expect to be hug just stood awkwardly.

Severus had been sitting on the couch when he heard a muffled scream from Harry's room. He rushed to there.

" Hush harry... It's just nightmare. Hush..." Severus said and shook his body. Harry looked very fragile when he curled like that. His heart hurted when he saw harry like that . he wanted to protect harry .

"Severus... Please don't leave me." Harry said when

"i will never leave you . if you have problem, you can talk to me"

Harry looked up and he saw the truth from Severus.

"uncle Vernon ... He had been hitting me. He said that freak like me can't have family. My friends just used me. Even i can't help my godfather. I think he was right Severus ... don't you regret being friends with me ? "

Severus knew that there was more about the abused but he decided it could wait. If harry thinks himself unworthy like that , he must told the truth about what he want to tell harry.

"harry... i want to be your family."

"you want to be my family?"

"yeah... You're like my child to me. But if you don/t want me to be your family i will understand." harry looked at the sad eyes and realized that Severus also had been lonely and harry don't want his soon to be family sad.

"i always want to be your son." harry said afraid to be rejected.

"won't you be ashamed that your dad is dungeon bat?" Severus asked seriously.

"never ... Dad"

" really? It is the best thing i have ever heard in my life . i will try my best to be your dad ."

Severus hugged him. That night, harry told his dad about the cupboard, the treatment he got from his so called family. Severus was very angry with them . He promised to himself that he would make them pay all their sins for his son.

When harry went to sleep, Severus kissed harry forehead and said

" Good night ...i love you, son"

" love you too, dad"
