Disclaimer: This stuff is so not mine. Pfft I WISH! Then I would be my own hero…

A/N: Hey there homies! Alright. So this is my VERY FIRST fanfic and I would really appreciate some encouragement! I wrote this in the summer for my friend to read and now have decided to post it. It was originally supposed to be a oneshot, but I couldn't end it. Not there! Ok so read and…enjoy?

Dumbledore did not know what to do… well he did but still – It would be hard. 'Severus, you need to be kept under constant surveillance, you can't leave Hogwarts and I don't want anyone meeting you without checking with me first.'

'I can't do what I must with restrictions like that.' Snape rose up fully intent on leaving the headmasters office.

'This is for Harry, he needs you to be safe.' Getting up, Dumbledore come around the table.

'What Potter needs, is of no concern to me.' Snape took a step back, Dumbledore's eyes weren't twinkling and that set of alarm bells in Snape's head.

'Then let me rephrase that – If you die then I'm afraid so will Harry.' Placing his hand on Snape's shoulder Dumbledore gripped him tight, 'I can't let you do as you please.'

'What are you talking about.'

'Ahh, my dear Severus, you must understand that Harry is rather unique, especially when it comes to the bonds he builds with people. He was very attached to his friends, he loved every single one of them so deeply that his magic formed a magical attachment with each person he loves.' Albus waited for the information to sink in…

"And HOW does this affect me." Snape, tried to keep calm.

Dumbledore sighed, 'Severus, as far as I'm aware, you're the last person a live that Harry loves.'

Snape lost his cool, 'I – ah, what.' Staring at Dumbledore he squinted his eyes, 'I can't be, I have never been nice to him, ever!' Dam it, I'd even gone out of my way to assign Potter extra detentions!

'Harry's strange like that…'

Snape Cut Dumbledore off, 'How can you be sure.'

Dumbledore turned and gestured dramatically at one of his spinning silver instruments.

Snape nodded his head, 'Very well then, does this mean I must be nice to Potter.'

'No, my dear Severus,' said Dumbledore with the biggest twinkle in his eye. 'You may go on as usual besides I don't believe you could change.'

Snape stalked out of the headmasters office, I can be nice to Potter and I'll prove it – I'll, I'll… I'll smile at him the next time I see him.

A/N: So what did you think - Did you like it? Huh huh?
