Part two: The truth:
It was the morning after Severus had been subjected to the poisoned apple and the news of the potion masters predicament was the latest news, some were saying he deserved it others were sorry for him but so far no one wanted to attempt waking him.
Slowly Harry came into breakfast, aware of the Slytherin ice prince's threat from the day before the green eyed man avoided the pumpkin juice instead he drank the water, it wasn't until half way through breakfast that he felt strange and slid his eyes across to the Slytherin table where the ice prince was smiling at him.
Slowly Harry stood putting a hand to his forehead the Gryffindor stumbled out of the hall his exit was quickly followed by the departure of his two best friends, Ginny and rather surprisingly Draco Malfoy. The four of them found the golden boy standing outside the great hall leaning on a window ledge slightly, taking gulps of fresh air slowly Harry looked at them his green eyes homing in on Malfoy. "What did you do to me?"
"I put the veritaserum in your food, but I didn't expect it to do this to you."
"Wonderful, now not only do I have to tell the truth but I feel a little sick too but that I could put down to being worried about what you're planning to ask me."
"Oh goody just think of the questions I could ask him." Ginny said with stars in her eyes.
The blond grabbed Harry hand he quickly pulled the dark haired man away from his friends, when they went to follow them the Slytherin glared at them. "Oh no, this is between Potter and me."
"No way ferret boy!" Ron said loudly.
The green eyes wizard sighed. "Ron, just go away please, Malfoy will only keep doing this to me until he gets the answers he wants I'll be fine Ron."
Hermione, Ron and Ginny stood together watching them go a little surprised by Harry's seeming willingness to go with the blond Slytherin. Eventually the two men came to a halt, the brunette looked up at the grey eyed man who was standing opposite him and sighed deeply. "Go on then ask away you bloody pain."
"Harry are you in love?" The blond asked him simply.
"Yes."
"Are you in love with my godfather?"
The dark haired man closed his eyes for a moment before he opened them and answered the question. "Yes."
"Then why haven't you gone to wake him?"
"Because I don't have a death wish and your godfather was and still is in love with my mother do you have any idea what that feels like when the man you love is in love with your mother?"
The grey eyed suddenly felt sorry for of all people Potter. "You should try; you're probably the only person in this whole school who can wake him you know that right?"
"Yes I know Malfoy, but I just can't make myself go up there and try."
"Well I'm sure you can figure out some way to get to Snape without being seen."
"Malfoy can't you just accept no for an answer?"
The blonds' grey eyes hardened. "No, I can't he is my godfather and one of very few people to actually care about me, I'm going to hate myself for saying this but please Potter you're the only one who can do a damn thing about this curse."
Harry looked at the man next to him and then sighed deeply. "I can't Malfoy and I won't."
"Call yourself a Gryffindor you're behaving like a sentimental Hufflepuff!"
Instantly the green eyed man growled at the Slytherin next to him. "Look this isn't the most usual of situations for me you know! This is Severus Snape we are talking about here, the man who spends most of his time hating me and making my life a living hell."
"True I guess but still you should try to wake him you never know he might love you in return."
Harry sighed again before he spoke. "Malfoy he doesn't care about me like that and I think the whole school knows that fact...but I will promise to try and wake him for you if you make me a promise in return."
"What do you want me to promise in return for you're trying to wake Snape?" The Slytherin asked the other man suspiciously.
"Promise me that if I go and if he wakes you'll never tell him who woke him."
The blonds grey eyes widened that was quiet a strange request and made the Slytherin wonder. "Potter what are you planning to do?"
"That's not your concern, so do you promise?" Harry told him folding his arms and glaring at the other wizard.
The Slytherin prince met the determined green eyed gaze of the other wizard and held out a hand which Harry took. "I don't like this but I know there isn't any other way so alright I promise that I will not tell my godfather who it was who woke him."
"Very well I will go to him tonight." Harry said shaking the hand and turning away from Draco.
"Wait Potter!" The blond called out to the other man, slowly the dark haired man turned back to the ice prince. "Thank you for your help fire prince." The Slytherin said to Harry seriously before bowing very formally to him.
The Gryffindor smiled slightly at the new nick name Draco had given him it fit him quiet well considering he was the ice prince's opposite in many ways, Harry bowed slightly in return to the Slytherin's gesture before turning and walking back into the castle both to recover from the veritaserum Draco had slipped into his breakfast and also to get ready for that night when he would make his attempt to wake Severus from the curse that held him captive.
(Yeah I know it's kind of short but there you go.)
