Hi! So I was just reading my emails one day and I got a review for this story! Well this person asked if I could write a second chapter for this fiction, so I did. I will continue writing this fiction until the end. I know I already have ten unfinished stories at the moment but I couldn't help it. I am just going to post this and see how it goes. Oh yeah. This has spoilers for up to the seventh book/movie. The first chapter was in the last few months of the sixth year, right before Dumbles croaked.

Enjoy!

I DON'T OWN!

'Mrs. Weasley was in tears. She had tried to help Ron but he just backed up in fear.' She woke with a start. It has been five months since they saved Ron. School has started up again. Harry and Hermione have left to Merlin knows where and Ron was holed up in his room. She was pretty sure Ron would have gone with his friends if he wasn't broken. He just sat on his bed all day; he never let anyone touch him. He shied away from all, except Snape. She wanted Ron to heal, but St. Mungo's is full and Ron doesn't have any serious injuries.

;.:;.:

She contacted the headmaster of Hogwarts as soon as she could. Severus got to the house that day. "Can I help you?" He asked her. She looked him straight in the eye "I want you to take my son to Hogwarts with you." She told him. He blanched. "I can't" He told her. "If the dark lord got word that Ronald was at the school, he would kill him, or worse take him back." Severus said.

Molly looked at him with a stern but loving face. "I know. But I also know that you are the only person that he lets near him. I'm sure you can find a way." She said. Severus looked her over. She wouldn't back down. "Alright, I will come pick him up tomorrow. Midnight." He told her. "Get him ready to leave tomorrow." He told her. "And I will make the necessary arrangements." He then left the room via the floo.

;.:;.:

Severus stood in his office. He knew that he couldn't keep him out in the open. He needed to hide him in the castle somewhere. He could hide him in the dungeons. But if he did that then he would need a helper. He thought hard. Who would help him?

Severus would later claim that he never did this, but he had an idea. He lifted his arm and Aha!ed. He knew just who to ask.

;.:;.:

Draco Malfoy was supposed to be in DADA class right now, but he was called into the headmaster's office. Severus Snape has been a family friend for years. He not once had asked to speak with Draco. He was sure it would be something to do about The Dark Lord.

;.:;.:

He got to the office without any problems. "Professor?" Draco called out. He was called in. He walked into the room and saw his headmaster pacing the floor. He was told to sit. Prof. Snape closed the door and placed a couple of spells around the room.

"I need to ask you something." Snape said, completely out of character. "Yes Professor." Draco asked. He felt like he was on a death sentence. "I have a 'package' that I am going to pickup this night at midnight. I am going to need some help to keep this 'package' out of The Dark Lords grasp. 'It' will need to be kept in the dungeons. I will keep it with me during the week, but I need someone who can stay with it during the weekends." Professor Snape said in an urgent voice.

Draco was immediately compelled to help. He had this feeling that he needed to help his professor. "I will help you." Draco said. "But what is the package?" Draco asked. "Meet me here at fifteen to midnight and you will find out." Snape said as he stopped pacing behind Draco.

Draco got up and walked to the door. "Mr. Malfoy, this conversation is between us. No one can know of this." Snape said. Draco nodded and left the room. 'Tonight's going to be a long night.' Snape thought as the door closed behind his student.

;.:;.:

Severus stood inside his office waiting for Draco. Draco still had a minute but Severus was nervous. If this didn't work, if they got caught, then Severus just put the life of a child on the line for his own selfish wants. He also wanted to curse himself for what he did. He thought back to right after the young red head woke from his cursed sleep.

'Severus stood next to Molly and Arthur. The couple was in tears. Their youngest son has just been saved from his prison.

"We wanted to thank you Severus." Molly said. Arthur held her closer. They heard a whimper from Ronald's bed. Arthur called for a nurse.

Ronald opened his eyes and looked straight at him. Severus could swear that Ronald didn't understand where he was. Ronald looked lost. Molly had tried to get close to him, but he pulled away and cowered in the bed as best he could. "Calm down child." Severus said, and surprisingly he did. Ronald now sat on the bed in a calm but guarded manner. Severus was surprised. He didn't think it would work.'
He later found that Ronald didn't listen to anyone but him. A soft knock on his door jarred him from his thoughts.

"Professor?" Draco asked as he walked into the room slowly. Severus let him in and closed the door. "We need to leave now." Severus said. He led Draco to the fireplace and they flooed to the Weasley's.

;.:;.:

Molly paced in front of the fireplace. She was worried. Ron was ready to go, but did she really want to let him go? Did she want Snape to take her baby boy into danger? Before she could change her mind, the fire turned green and Snape walked out followed by young Malfoy. "Severus. Why is Mr. Malfoy here?" Molly asked.

She was afraid that she was caught, that He found Ron. "He will be helping me with Ronald." Snape said. Molly nodded. "Is he ready?" Neither of the adults noticed as Draco blanched. 'Ron? He is the package?' He thought to himself. He looked around and saw Ron's trunk. It was old and ratty, just what he would expect from a Weasley.

"He is ready. Can you go and fetch him? He won't follow me or let me touch him." Molly told Snape. Snape nodded. He went up to Ron's room leaving Draco with Molly.

;.:;.:

He opened the door to see Ronald laid spread eagle on the bed. He wasn't wearing a shirt and the sheet was around his waist, showing off all his scars on his stomach. Snape wanted to kill those who hurt Ronald, but he couldn't, not without putting Ronald in danger.

He felt something stir in his stomach when he thinks back on all the conversations he had with the youth before He got to him. Snape found that Ron was a lot smarter then he let on. If this hadn't happened to Ronald then maybe Snape would have made him his apprentice. But he was too late to help.

He looked upon the still form lying on the bed. The feeling came back. He was beautiful, his red hair surrounded his head in an ethereal halo, his skin pale but not sickly, scattered across all visible skin was light layer of freckles. Severus watched as his chest rose then dropped. He didn't want to wake him but he knew they had to leave.

"Ronald." Severus said in a calm but demanding voice. He shook Ronald's shoulder gently. Ronald opened his eyes and stared straight at Severus, his eyes are bluer then the sea and the sky combined. Severus lost his breath at the hurt and pain in those eyes. It was something you never wanted to see in a child's eyes. "We have to go. You will be staying with me now." He told Ronald kindly. Ronald nodded and stood, the sheets fell to the floor and exposed Ronald's pale legs and boxers.

Severus got him dressed in black and had him pull the hood up, it would do no good if someone saw his hair before they even got him to his rooms. "Let's go." Severus said. Ronald followed Severus down the stairs. Draco had gotten Ron's trunk into Snape's office. He now stood next to Molly.
"We will be going now; young Mr. Malfoy will go first. Ronald will come after him and I will go last." Snape said in a commanding voice. Draco left, followed by Ron. "Thank you." Molly said. Snape nodded at her before leaving the Burrow.

How Was It? I hope you enjoyed it. I enjoyed writing it. Please Read and Review, even if it is just to saw that you would rather read something else.

Mars!
