Severus Snape was anything but happy after Harry left. Angry was more like it. Angry that he let that idiot Potter get so close to him without hexing him. Why couldn't he just hex that idiot Potter! Is this what he become? Soft? Soft enough for this to happen? He should have been more tougher then that. It must have been his emotions clouding his judgment and he couldn't think straight. 'That must have been it?' He hoped. Or maybe it was because when Harry was holding him and comforting him he thought of Lily and when Harry came closer all he could see is his eyes Lily's eyes. Things would change between him and Harry but not in a good way. He was sure of (that) tomorrow in class it will be hell for Harry. That way Harry will think twice before approaching Severus again. At least he hoped.

Harry wanted to scream on the top tower where he was at. He was that happy. Happy and relieved that he finally told Snape how he was feeling inside. But now the question is? Did Severus Snape feel the same way about him? Harry thought about this for a while. 'He didn't say yes and he didn't say no,' Harry thought that Severus would have said something about Harry liking him but no words came out of his mouth after the word Lily. His mom. In fact all Snape did was stare at him with surprise. And he didn't give an answer weather he liked Harry back. He was half expecting for Severus to hit him or yell at him to get out of his office! But nothing came. And this surprised Harry in many ways. As he looked down at the courtyard from the tower Harry wondered about something else. Is this Harry he was actually staring? Or was it Lily? He did say that she was everything to him. Harry needs to find out more about it. Tomorrow after class he will find that information out.

While Harry was walking back from the tower and down to the main hall he saw that Filch was coming his way, "Oh Potter glad I caught you. I need to deliver a message to you?" Filch says holding his cat Mrs. Norris in his arms.

"What is the message Filch?"

"Your Professor Snape forgot that he already had a detention with Seamus tonight so he wants to reschedule another time."

Harry was confused with Severus not coming to tell him himself. "Why didn't he come tell me himself?"

Filch didn't have time to stand around talking to Harry he had work to do, "Look Potter Snape just told me to tell you that. He didn't tell me why he didn't come to you with this news himself. So now you know and I'm going to leave to do work now," Filch said and walked away to nail back in a painting that dropped somewhere in the hall. Harry wonders why Severus Snape didn't tell him the message himself. 'Probably he was too busy with potions that he didn't have time to tell him himself?' Harry thought.

Harry's dream

The black hooded figure was bowing down at his master's feet while lord Voltermort laughed at something in the corner. Harry went closer to the something in the corner. It was a child. She was trembling with fear as Voltermort looked at him with a grin. He loved it when a child looks at him with fear in his or her eyes. Looking at the figure in black he ordered him to do something so horrible that Harry couldn't watch this any longer. "I order you to kill that girl." Even though Harry couldn't see his face but he could see the hooded head rise up to meet the lord's gaze and then at the girl and staring at the ground. Voltermort rose up in anger, "Did you not hear me? I want you to kill that girl." Harry was curious on how this was turning out. The figure rose up quietly and starts walking over to the little girl. Harry was wondering if he is going to do it or not? But if he doesn't then he would have to deal with Voltermort's punishments and they would probably be very unpleasant. Harry hears voices from somewhere else. "Guess what I saw tonight!" Somebody said out loud.

Harry woke

"Really are you serious!?"

"Yeah I saw him in the hall."

"Wow something must have really pissed him off to do that?"

Harry sat up and looked at Seamus and Ron talking, "Who?" Harry asked them.

Seamus was the one giving the news, "Our Professor Snape went crazy tonight."

"How do you know that?" Harry wondered, "Did you see him do something unusual?"

"Yes throwing things on the ground I think is unusual for Severus?" Ron said with surprise.

Harry was shocked, "What? What do you mean by throwing things on the ground?"

"Well," Seamus began, "I was done having detention with Snape in his office and left. But while I was outside his office I heard him throwing a fit and then I heard glass fall onto the floor."

"Wow," Ron says, "I never seen Snape act like that. "Even though he has quite a temper I never actually seen him throw one."

Harry got out of bed and went over to his suitcase box and got out his invisible cloak,

"I'm going to get some fresh air for alittle bit."

"But Harry," Ron says, "it's the middle of the night?"

"I had a bad dream and would like to sort it out by walking about in the castle."

"Do you want me to come with you Harry," Ron asks.

"Not tonight Ron. I would like to be by myself."

"Well OK Harry. Feel better mate."

"Thanks Ron."

Harry felt bad about lying to his bestfriend but he wants to know if Snape was alright. And there was some truth in what he was doing to sort out alittle bit of his. Like who was that black hooded figure again? And did this figure did what Voltermort wished? To kill that girl? Harry was woken up before he could find out. And this was bugging him. And now bigger thought is. Is Seamus right about what he heard? Severus Snape the one with the temper but keeps the temper almost hidden with just a few words coming out of his mouth would tonight have objects crashing to the ground and him throwing a big temper? Harry needs to find out if something did cause Snape's big temper then what cost it? Was him? Harry James Potter? The son of James Potter from yesterday's meet up with Snape in his office? Harry wants to find out about this tonight. And if he has to wake up Severus Snape in middle of the night then so be it.

Harry was in the entrance of the dungeon and put his cloak on so that no one not even paintings would know that he was there. He started walking inside the dungeon when he realized something, 'Shoot I don't know where Snape sleeps?' Harry forgot that he didn't know where Snape was staying in until now. 'Now what?' Harry would just have to look at every room until he found his. But then he could just ask a painting but that would give away. But then maybe he could make a deal with one of the paintings? Harry went to one of the paintings across where he walked and took a look at one of the paintings and saw that both of three paintings on the wall were asleep. He took cloak and wrapped it around his shoulder so that only his head was sticking out and shook one of the paintings where a chubby man with a long beard was snoring up a storm. The man in the painting woke while Harry was shaking him "What could it possibility be so important that you have to wake me up?"

"Shhh," Harry whispers, "Turn your voice down I just need to ask you something? And then you can go back to sleep afterwards."

"A question? For what?" The painting wanted to know, "wait a minute. What are you doing out of?"

"Look if you help me I will make a deal with you what ever it is?"

The painting thought about this for a moment, "What's the question?"

"Do you know where professor Snape's private chamber's are?"

"Yes I do."

Harry's face lighten up.

"But I'm not going to tell you."

Harry's face turned into disappointment.

"Unless?" the painting said.

"Unless what sir?"

"Make a deal with me like you said and I will tell you where he lies?"

Harry's face lightens alittle, "What is it that you me to do?"

"Take me to the fat lady painting tomorrow night. You want to see Snape tonight that's the deal."

Harry was trying not to laugh, "OK fine then I will take you to the fat lady now tell me where is?"

"What happen to the word please?"

Harry was getting impatient with him, "Please can you tell me where Professor Snape's chamber is?"

"Yes and its actually a hard place to find if you haven't asked me. So his chamber is behind his office."

"Behind his office? I didn't see a door there?"

"That is because the door is hidden behind a book shelf."

Harry was pretty curious about this, "Behind a book shelf in his office? Interesting."

"Yes quite anyways he a cast charm so that only he can open it. And the cast charm is the name Lily."

"Lily? My mother?" Harry was surprised at this.

"Yes Potter your mother and him where very close. He was very heart broken when she died."

"How do you know all this?"

"I'm a painting from early hundreds Potter, and those days I was still up high in a tower. Your mother and Snape used to be up there a lot talking."

Harry wanted to know more about his mother and Snape but he wanted to see Snape now so he said, "Well thank you for your help. And I will bring you up to the fat lady tomorrow night ok."

"Good now let me sleep Potter."

"Fine. And thank you again," Potter walked away from the painting and put is cloak over his head and started walking to Snape's office.

Snape's office was a mess. Glass every where. 'So Seamus was right about glass hitting the floor,' and a lot of glass from potion bottles, 'wonder what made him throw bottles on the ground?' Harry wondered. Then Harry saw a piece of folded paper on the ground that looked like a letter. Harry picked it up and unfolded the paper. It was indeed a letter.

Dear Lily,

I'm sorry for what I did. I can't blame you for picking James over me.

Sincerely,

Severus Snape

Harry was quiet for a moment. Taking the words in. He wondered when this was written. Harry put the paper down on Severus desk and walked over to the book shelves. He first looked around the office. Snape's studio was in a big room with two black desks and one black sofa. Across from the sofa was a black coffee table. Harry was surprised that there was nothing in this office that's green. He looked at the book shelves which were only on one side lined up on the wall. "Lily," he said. Right as he said that he heard the second book shelf starting to push inwards. Inwards enough to let Harry threw and when he entered behind the book shelf he couldn't see anything because of how dark it in this place. And he couldn't tell where the door is it was that dark. Harry got out his wand and charmed a spell for light. A blue light came on, on his wand. Now he could see no door but a living room. All the furniture were purple. Purple sofa, purple living room chairs and then a round glass table in the middle of the living room with black around it. 'This must be Snape's living room?' he looked around next to the living room was a small kitchen with a tea kettle on the stove and a coffee maker next to the stove. Next to the kitchen he saw a black door and walked over to it. He opened it. Walking into the room he saw a bed and a sofa and another door way across from the bed. He heard something from the bed. Walking over Harry pointed the wand on the bed. He saw some movement from the bed and then, "What the? Who is it?"

"It's me Harry sir."

The figure sat up quickly and got his stick out and pointed at something and said a light spell and a light came on from above. Then he turned his head towards Harry, "Potter? what the hell are you doing in my bedroom?" and then Severus realized something else, "how did you get in?"

"A painting told me where your chamber was and the password."

'Stupid paintings,' Snape thought, "Why are you in my chamber Potter!"

Harry put his wand back into his pocket, "Well I came in here to talk to you about some things sir?"

"What could you have to talk about that can't wait till tomorrow Potter?" he spat out the word Potter like there was something bitter in his mouth.

"Well sir. Tonight you had detention with Seamus right?"

"And why is that a concern to you?"

"Well sir. Seamus was talking about it with Ron and me. And he said something else about it."

"And what ever may that be Potter? I'm losing patents here Potter!"

"He said that he was outside your office door after detention and heard glass crashing on the floor."

Severus gapped at Harry and then at the floor, "That little brat! So he heard everything!"

Harry imagined Snape having steam coming out of his ears, "Well all he said that there was glass crashing to the floor and that you had a temper. Harry moved over to his bed and sat down on the edge of the bed, "And when I went into your office tonight I saw glass all over the floor." Harry wanted to say something about the letter but didn't want to upset Snape more then he already is, "Is something the matter with you tonight?"

"I don't want to talk about it-"

Harry got up from the bed, "Alright sir then I will go then. Sorry for waking you."

"No wait Potter. You didn't let me finish. I don't want to talk about it here in my bedroom."

Harry turned around to face him, "Well then where do you want to talk about it?"

"In my office. Just give me 10 minutes to get dressed. I will meet you in my office in 15 minutes"

Harry nodded and left the bedroom and took his wand out for the blue light again. He walked over to the living room and said, "Lily." The wall began to open slowly. The book shelf came to view and Harry squeezed in to enter the office. He sat on the sofa to wait for Snape. While he waited he thought about his mom and Severus and about the letter. He looked around on the floor where glass was shattered and wondered what made him do this?

15 minutes later Harry heard the book shelf click and it began to push inwards. It was Severus Snape's turn to take control. He is a teacher and that's the way it's going to be. Even if… Potter is Lily's son. Why can't it be the way it was? Him and Harry hating each other. 'That way I can keep hating that brat Potter.' Snape moves over to one of the desks and sat down on one of the chairs. He looked at Harry then at the glass on the floor and then at his hands. "Look Potter lets get one thing straight. The only reason why I care is because of your mother else I have no intention to be kind to James bloody Potter's son."

Potter gapped at him, "I'm sorry sir. But when did you start being kind to me?"

"I have a temper Potter and I would more then anything show a brat like you what temper I have-"

"I am not a brat sir!"

"Just let me finish Potter! I couldn't stand your father and his bloody friends. And for a long time I hated you because you are his son but now I see that there is some things that you have that your mother had."

"And what was that sir?"

"Her eyes. Your eyes remind me of your mother's eyes."

"They do sir?" Harry was alittle surprised at this.

"Every time I looked into your eyes when we argued your mother kept on creeping in my mind because you have her bloody eyes."

Harry felt bad about this. Making him hurt while he looked into Snape's eyes. All the time he argued with Snape he never realized that. But now he does and it hurts him thinking of Snape feeling Lily when he looked at him in the eyes. He didn't know what the right word was right now for this situation. "Sir? How bad was my father to you?"

Snape looked at him wondering if he should tell James' son about his bullying?

"It's ok sir?" Harry says as if he knew what Snape was thinking, "just tell me."

Snape didn't know if he should trust Harry with this secret? "If I tell you this information you got to promise me that you will keep this to yourself?"

Harry was quite taken by this. Is this how far Harry and Severus come? To share each others secrets? "Yes sir I promise."

Severus took a sigh before beginning his story, "Your father was famous at Hogwarts when he attended there. Every student knew his name but what they didn't know was his bullying."

"Was it just you that he bullied?"

"Nope there were others that he bullied too. Mostly weak students who were in slytherin. But he enjoyed bullying and humiliating me the most I think? It seem that way anyway."

"Did you tell anyone about it?"

"Well I tried telling our headmaster Dumbledore but he didn't believe me."

"Why didn't Dumbledore believe you?" Harry was confused about this cause Dumbledore usually helps people when in need.

"Well Potter would you believe me when I tell you that most famous in Hogwarts who most people in Griffindore think of him kind and gentle be a bully to others like me?"

"Well yes I would. But he bullied others. They must have told Dumbledore that?"

"Most Sylderns don't tell their problems to their head master," Snape chuckled alittle by the thought of Sylderns running up to Professor Dumbledore about James bullying them, "But there is one other person I told about the bullying."

"Who was it?"

"Your mother Lily," Severus looked down at his potion making hands, "your mother was the first friend I ever made."

"She was?" Harry was surprised at this.

Snape gave a chuckle, "You seem surprised at this?"

"Well yeah. It's surprising how close you and my mom were," Harry gave a smile towards Severus, "and how you and I hated each other."

"Harry-uh I mean Potter? When I first met you in class as my student first year I thought about how you looked so much like James and not Lily and I kept thinking that you would be just like James and not Lily."

Was Harry imagining it when he heard the name Harry out of Severus' mouth or did he actually say it?

"I kept on thinking about how much you seem to be like your father. Every mistake you did it reminded of your father. And I didn't exactly hate you personally just the things that you did made me think of your father how much I hated him and then took it out on you-"

"Let finish what I have to say Potter!"

"I'm sorry sir go on?"

"But now I see that you're nothing like your father. Yes you do the mistakes he did but that was it just mistakes. Now I understand why you remind me of Lily because you have her eyes and her love. And her fame at Hogwarts and in the wizarding world"

Harry gapped at him with shock, "Did you just comment me sir?"

Severus too was shocked what he was telling Harry, "You could say that yes."

Harry smiled at this. Severus never commented him before in a nice way like this.

Looking down Severus added, "but I usually never comment people so this is a one time thing from me,"

"Yes sir," Harry grinned so bright that it started hurting his mouth but he didn't care. He got up from the couch and moved over to Snape.

Severus felt Harry's presence coming closer and looked up and nearly fell off his chair when he saw Harry's face coming closer to his, "Potter what are you doing?"

"I don't know sir but there is something about the comments that made me move closer to you," he was inches away from Severus nose, "and like I said yesterday professor."

This time Snape did fall off the chair and on to the hard cold floor, "Grrr Potter!"

Potter gave Snape a hand to help him up, "Sorry sir. I didn't think you would fall off your chair."

"What you expect Potter?" He spat, "you came way to my face so I tried to move away."

"Aww Snape I like you. And you said something that made me like you even more."

Severus looked at Harry like he had two heads, "You confuse me sometimes you know that?"

Harry wanted so bad to kiss Severus but he didn't how Snape would react, "Sir? Have you ever been kissed before?"

Severus cocked his head at Harry, "Yes by your mother."

Harry wrapped his arms around him.

"What do you think your doing Potter?" Then Severus knew exactly what Potter wanted.

"I want to kiss you so badly sir?" Harry waited patiently for Severus to give him what he wanted.

"Well, well I would never have guessed," Severus smirked.

"What is that sir?"

"That you have an interest in guys."

"Well I still like girls but I'm starting to be interested in guys as well."

"And you are interested in me instead of a person your age because why?"

"I liked you since I could remember Severus you are a sexy guy and you seem like a smart guy?"

Severus smirked at this, "Maybe you need a new pair of glasses Potter? And don't call me Severus I'm still your Professor."

Harry couldn't wait any longer and decided to go for it. He inched closer to Snape's face until there noses touched and Harry put his hands in Severus' rumored greasy hair but when touching it, it felt soft and inviting and Harry cocked his head to one side and let his lips touch Snape's. Harry was surprised how soft Severus' lips felt on his and wanted more.

Severus didn't know what to do about Harry kissing him but he decided to just go for it. After all he did have a crush on Harry since last year. So while he was being nervous at doing this he kissed Harry back. And for the first time ever his mind was not filled up with Lily while being with Harry.
