I actually got 12 reviews rather than the requested 10 so I've made this chapter a little longer. See what happens when you review. I hope it was worth waiting for.

Chapter Two

Harry, Ron and Hermione were sitting in the great hall at the end of September. There was a happy chatter from most of the 6th year Gryffindors as they had a Snape free Potions class first thing.

"Harry, are you ok mate? You haven't been eating," whispered Ron in a worried voice.

"I'm fine..." Mumbled Harry still not eating.

The doors to the great hall swept open admitting a very well known black clad figure, a collective groan swept across the room as Snape stalked to the staff table to take his seat.

"... I'll tell you what Ron, just to make you happy I'll eat all my food. Alright?" Harry grinned at his friend, it was the first true smile that had graced his face in months.

"That's better. Ron said with a relived sigh. "And Hermione said I wouldn't be able to snap you out of it." Ron beamed happily. "Shame we've got Snape back though, we've got bloody potions first."

"Ronald, don't you start insulting teachers, besides you never know he might be better now."

Ron snorted in disbelief. "Alright then Hermione whatever you say."

"We better get down there. The last thing we want is to do is get him mad first day back." Harry said, smiling faintly.

The three friends waited outside the classroom with the rest of the 6th years. All of them having apparently deciding it wasn't worth the risk of detention for being late. The door opened and they all trooped into the room silently taking their seats.

"I dread to think of what you have been doing in my absence. Needless to say you will no longer be able to slack off in this classroom. Now today you will be making 'The Draft of Remembrance.' The instructions are on the board. Get on with it. No talking."

Snape went back to his desk looking over the notes he'd been left by the substitute teacher, Harry watched him out of the corner of his eye. The older man looked tired but there were no visible scars or missing arms or legs, which was a bonus. A jar on Harry's desk fell and even Harry's seeker skills couldn't stop it from shattering on the floor.

"Mr Potter, some things never change I see." He sneered. "You sill causing trouble. Detention tonight, stay after class to arrange it."

Harry felt his heart drop and the he end of the class came quickly and everyone gave in their completed potions. Harry waited untill every one left the room before approaching Snape's desk.

"Mr Potter." Snape did not look up from the papers on his desk

"Yes sir." Harry replied anxiously

Snape put the papers in a tidy pile slowly and stood walking to stand in front of Harry.

"You will not interrupt." Snape paused waiting for Harry's nod of agreement before continuing. "Yes I hated your father and I disliked you because you look so much like him. I know you're nothing like him. I am sorry I treated you the way I have, and I'm sorry your family are total bloody wankers. Believe me when I say they won't be laying another finger on you again. I will always tell you the truth, and as such..."

Snape took a step closer to Harry.

"... I'm not sorry."

Harry looked confused. "Not sorry for what?"

"Just this." Snape cupped Harry's face in his hands and kissed him passionately. Harry smiled into the kiss and responded in kind.

The bell sounded and they reluctantly broke the kiss.

"You'd better get to class."

Harry moved to leave.

"Mr Potter. Tonight at 8. Don't be late. I have yet to yell at you. I'll be waiting."

Harry smiled brightly before disappearing into the school.

A/N. Well what do you think? Would you like another chapter? I will need more reviews to tell me if I should keep writing. And if you let me know what you would like in the next chapter I'll see what I can do
