Prologue

Harry looked at Sirius as he fell through the veil and before anyone could stop him he ran after him jumping in the veil to bring Sirius with him. As he touched the veil, he blacked out.

Harry woke to see white and frowned.

"He's waking." He heard a voice that he knew so well say.

Harry looked to the side but everything was a blurry mess, and suddenly a blur of red appeared in his line of sight that got closer immediately followed by someone hugging him and dark red hair smothering his face.

"Oh Harry I was so worried." A woman voice said, as the woman stepped back to look at Harry directly in the eyes, Harry tensed at seeing green eyes looking right back.

"M-mum?" he stuttered.

"Yes honey, I'm here." The woman said with a smile and a hand appeared on Harry's face.

At once Harry hugged the woman just to make sure she was real, that this woman was really his mother. His mother was there… with him!

"Let the boy breathe Lily." Someone scowled from behind his mother.

Harry felt Lily pulling away, but it was too soon, he didn't want to let go… his mother… the woman smiled at him and grabbed his hand as if she knew. With her other hand she handed Harry his glasses.

"Come on, Severus. Harry just almost got himself killed with his crazy Quidditch moves. I have a right to hug my son."

Harry tensed and looked to who his mother was speaking to and there it was, Severus Snape with a scowl in place, exactly like Harry remembered him. The man looked at him and his eyes softened, making Harry gape.

"How are you?"

"I think I hit my head… pretty hard!" Harry said eyes wide.

Snape chuckled, he actually chuckled! And then the man approached and did a few diagnostic spells on Harry.

"Nothing seems broken." The man said professionally.

"Oh darling… why do you insist to keep playing that horrible game?"

"Lils… can you stop mothering the boy? He is fifteen already." Snape was protecting him?

Harry looked at his mother and then to Snape and did the only reasonable thing; passed out!
