Chapter 4

Harry rolled over and stared.

"Is the window comfortable?" Severus looked over his shoulder.

The mop was talking to him. "Oh! A talking mop. I've really lost my mind."

Snape smiled at the man laying in a bed.

"Where am I?"

Snape explained what happened about the drug and the doctor that he had to see. "I also...never mind."

Harry raised an eyebrow at him. "What? You can tell me Sevie."

Snape's heart skipped a beat and allowed himself to believe it was okay. "I.."

"MOMMY!" Snape sighed as Albus attacked his mother.

"I got Albus from Draco." Tears soon formed in Harry's eyes.

"You did that for me?" Harry looked at Severus and moved Albus off to the side.

"It was.." Harry threw himself into Severus arms.

"Thank you." His grasp on Severus went tighter.

"It was nothing. Anything to make you..." Harry looked up at Severus with beautiful eyes. "Smile." They stared longingly into one anothers eyes, lost in a depth of warmth and care.

"I can never thank you enough." Harry hugged Severus. Snape relaxed and pulled Harry into him.

"Harry, I just want you to know I'm always..." There was a harsh knock on the door. "

May I come in?" Luicus creeped into the room and smiled.

"Luicus. Get out of here!" Severus still holding into his arms hissed.

"I came to see Harry, to make sure he's okay?" Luicus looked at Severus with cold eyes. "Oh! I see you're too busy! I guess I'll take Albus and go!" Luicus walked over to Albus.

"No! Talk to Harry. I'm going to tell the head master that Harry and Albus will be living with me. I'll take the boy with okay?"

Harry nodded his head and released Snape.

"Come on Albus." Severus held his hand out and the boy ran into it.

"You're weally weally tall!"

Snape laughed. The door slammed shut.

"Now that we're alone. I want to ask you something."

Snape held Albus's hand as they walked through the halls.

"And then mommy swooped down and took out the mean man trying to hurt uncle Ron. I was very happy that uncle Ron was okay."

Severus smiled. "Did your mom tell you he was the best quittich player ever?"

Ablus shook his head.

Severus went in detail about Harry's first flight as seeker

"Wow! Daddy was a seeker too?!"

Severus smiled. "Yes he was, but he was horrible. Just like his father."

Albus stopped.

"What's wrong? Was it something I said?" The man looked down at the child. 'Even when I'm nice I'm still rude!'

"Is it true?" Ablus said in a hused voice.

"What?"

"You want me to agree to that!" Harry shrieked.

"Well, you can say no. Draco will get the worst for your rude choice."

Harry frowned.

"Your choice and if it helps, I won't beat Ablus like Draco did."

Harry's eyes widen. "No, he.."

"He did! The minute you left he hit Albus."

Harry sat on the bed. "What do you say?"

Severus stared at the child.

"Luicus said that mommy and him were getting married." They stood in front of the head masters door.

"Hello Severus. Whose this?" Minerva pointed to Albus.

"Watch him." Severus ran back down to the dungeons.

"My word. Oh, why don't you come inside and tell me who you are." She reached her hand toward Albus's.

"I'm Albus."

His heart pounded. How could he be so stupid to leave those two alone. Then again he didn't know about Lucius love for Harry. He raced down the stairs and into the dungeons. 'How could Lucius do this to me!' He arrived at his chambers. "Harry Lily." The door opened. He really felt his heart rip. He threw open the door to his bedroom. Lucius leaned in and kissed Harry on the lips. His heart beat slowed.
