Hallows Eve party

"Three days left till the party, is there anything else you want for this party?" Remus asked walking beside Harry to check on everything, including seeing if the invitations had been sent. "Yeah actually, but i'm not sure they'll want to do this."

"What is it Harry, you never know unless you try." Severus said walking up and handing Harry a blue rose he had picked from the endless garden. Harry blushed and said: "I want another band at the party. They're called Nickleback. I highly doubt they'll want to put everything aside to come and play here." Severus smirked before saying: "Chad owes me a favor anyway so i'll call him up on it now. He can't refuse." Harry's eyes went wide as he said: "YOU KNOW CHAD KROEGER?" Severus chuckled: "Yeah, he and I were best friends in school. He was the only person who would tolerate me enough to even call me friend." Harry snorted and said: "Well he wouldn't know a good person from a rhino." Everyone laughed at that as Severus went to the fireplace to floo an old friend.

"CHAD." Severus shouted and was confronted with his best friend from his school years. "Severus, what on earth is your head doing in my out of date fireplace?" Severus just shook his head: "I'm here to ask you a favor. want to come to my place and play a few songs for a friend of mine. He loves your music." Chad thought about it a bit before nodding. "sure. You're not the cold hearted bastard you used to be. did you finally get laid?" Severus growled at that. "Just get your ass here. you and your band can stay in the spare bedrooms for the time being. I'm sure Harry is dying to meet you right now."

"Wait...THE harry potter? why didn't you say it was him. Be right over let me get my buddies." Severus nodded and went back to his own manor. "They'll be here in about 10 minutes. Mimi." Severus summoned a house elf. "Yes master Severus sir?" The house elf said bowing low. "Get the guest bedrooms set up for the band Nickelback. they'll be here in ten minutes." The elf nodded, bowed and with a pop disappeared. Harry was jumping with joy by the time the band flooed into the manor. "Severus." Chad said walking up to Severus and giving him a big hug. "It's been too long. so where's this harry we've heard so much about from every person in the wizarding world." Harry walked up to Chad and reached out his hand: "I'm Harry Potter Sir. It's nice to finally see you in person." Chat shook the boy's hand and smiled sadly. "Why are you so sad Harry?" Harry looked up shocked at what Chad had just said. How did he know? "He's an empath Harry. don't worry he's not reading your mind or anything." Severus said walking to him and ruffling his hair a bit. Harry glaired and tried to straighten his hair to no avail.

"So you never answered my question. what's gotten you so down in the dumps? come, we'll unpack and you can talk." Harry nodded and followed the band to the guest rooms. "Severus is my sorrow right now. He's the only person i care about to this extent but to him i'm just a kid, not to mention after all i've been through i don't think he's ever going to want me." Chad nodded then noticed the blue rose in Harry's hand. "Did Severus give you that rose?" Harry nodded and looked down at the rose. It truly was beautiful. "Then he loves you to death Harry. He will do anything for you." Harry looked up at chad with a sad smile: "How do you know?" He asked. "Because," Chad said: "in all the time i've known him he's never once given any gift to anyone. he's always kept to himself and has never smiled just to make someone happy. He's always thought of his happyness before others and to see him try and make you happy is enough for me to see he loves you. he's probably just as scared as you are." Harry smiled brightly and thanked the older man.

"You're still sad. that wasn't the only thing that was the cause of your sorrow. if you don't want to say anything i won't pry but it's better to talk about it." Harry nodded: "you're right. i'm going to talk to Severus about everything. thank you." With that Harry ran towards the dining room, where he knew Severus, Sirius and Remus would be. Once there he walked right over to Severus and said in a calm voice: "I think i'm ready to talk about everything but only to you." Severus nodded and led them both to the gardens where they took a seat in the flower bed and Harry started talking.

"It pisses me off that i'm supposedly so strong and i can't even stand up to my retched family. I'm always pissed about that and about the fact that Dumbledore knew what was going on in my life and yet he REFUSED to make it any better. when they turned me into a pet they took it a step too far, they made me into their sex doll, used me god knows how many times and all dumbledore could do was shrug and say: "I didn't know." I DIDN"T FUCKING KNOW. how could someone not know when the first letter that was sent to me was adressed to the BLOODY cupboard under the stairs? I'm sick of it all Severus. I'm sick of being "better" than everyone else. i just want to be Harry BLOODY Potter. Can't they understand that? can't they understand that I only wanted a family who would love me? that would never hurt me the way i was hurt. i'm just tired. and to top it off i don't EVER get what i want. in all my life i've only wanted ONE thing and i'm never going to be able to get that. you're not going to ever want a used up piece of garbage like me. I know that you're probably wandering why i'm telling you this, i just guess i had to talk to someone about it and you're the only one i trust right now. Not to mention you're the only one i'll ever love."

"It's okay to feel like this Harry. and you're wrong. you're not a piece of garbage, you're actually a very good natured beautiful person. don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise. You're everything to me Harry, don't ever think differently. please just keep in mind that i do care about you, more than you could ever imagine. I found hope and fate when i found you. You, Harry Potter, not the boy who lived, but Harry the boy. The young man that captured my heart. the only person i will ever care about. don't give up hope because you think something could go wrong, keep your hope because you know everything's going to go right." Harry felt tears fall down his face but didn't pay them any attention as he hugged Severus for all he was worth. "I love you Severus, and i will continue to love you till the end of time and beyond." Severus smiled and hugged the young man back. /Oh dear god NO./ Severus thought to himself when he felt something very familiar. "Harry, did you have sex with anyone when you came to the school?" Harry shook his head: "no why?"

"Nothing. Let's go inside, I bet Chad will want to sing you a song before we go to lunch." Harry smiled: "What makes you say that?" Severus looked at his young friend before saying: "I just have a feeling is all." Once inside Severus and Harry went seperate ways, severus going towards the room Chad was staying in, and Harry going towards the dining room to have a bit of tea.

"Chad, sing him a song today. he'll love to hear a song ahead of time." Chad smiled and nodded. "So i take it he talked to you." Severus nodded and frowned. "he told me something that made me hate his retched family even more. and to top it off he's pregnant." Chad's eyes went wide before asking the obvious question: "Who's kid and does he know?" Severus sighed: "It's either His uncle or his cousin's kid and no he doesn't know yet."

"Dear god, Severus don't tell me they raped him." Severus held his head down and looked at the neatly polished floor. "That's what he told me, and i believe him. i don't see him as the type to go around sleeping with his blood relatives." Chad nodded, grabbed his eqipment and band and together they went down to the dining room. "So Harry, you have a request for what song you want us to play?" Harry thought about it a bit then said: "Yeah, saving me." Chad nodded and they began to sing.

Prison gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'
Oh, I reach for you
Well I'm terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can't hold my soul in
All I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'

Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me

Heaven's gates won't open up for me
With these broken wings I'm fallin'
And all I see is you
These city walls ain't got no love for me
I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And oh I scream for you
Come please I'm callin'
And all I need from you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'

"Harry sing the rest will you?" Chad asked and looked at harry. The young man nodded and started singing the rest.

And all I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin', I'm fallin'

Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
And say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me
Hurry I'm fallin'

Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me

Chad looked at Harry with awe. "you have a great voice Harry, you should be the singer not me." Harry blushed and looked at the time. "Oh, it's almost lunch time. What do you want to eat and i'll make it." Severus looked At harry like he had grown a second head: "We have house elves that cook harry, why would you want to cook?" Harry shrugged and walked over to the kitchen, Severus following close behind watching every move the young man made. "I just like cooking is all. It's the one thing i can do well. Not to mention i learned how to cook when i was four so it's kind of a habbit really." Severus just watched as Harry grabbed everything he would need for his food and started chopping away at the vegetables while he cooked the pasta in the pan. /i wander what else Harry knows how to do./ Severus thought going over to give Harry a helping hand. "thank you." Harry said accepting the help.

October 30th came by too slow for Harry's liking but when it finally came by he was happier than he had ever been. he had three bands that were showing up one by one to set everything up for the party, they had all the food already cooked and set up in the ball room, chairs and tables were already in place and a part of the room was set aside for dancing couples. everything was beautifuly set up. "Hey John, you're going to be first in line. then it's going to be Nickelback, then Metallica. then after that come the solo singers. where's bryan?" Severus asked looking at the lead singer of Korn. John pointed to the only guy having trouble figuring everything out. "Okay Sev. Thanks for inviting us." Severus brushed the thanks away saying: "No need to thank me. i should be thanking you. Harry'll be absolutely extatic to see you." With that Severus walked over to Bryan and started filling him in on everything that was going to happen that night.

The doors to the ball room opened and Harry walked in, wearing black leather pants, a red silk, button up long sleeve shirt, and boots. His hair had streaks of red in it, and his eyes were standing out perfectly without his glasses getting in the way. for that night he was wearing contacts. Severus looked at the boy with awe. "Harry." He called waiting for the boy to look up. Severus was wearing a balck trench coat over a black sirt and pants. his boots looked similar to those of combat boots, they were black with red lining. is hair was tied back but a few strands had gotten loose and framed his face perfectly. His black eyes looked up and down harry's body and he smiled. "You look very good tonight." He said once Harry was within earshot. Harry blushed a bit: "you look great tonight Sev. I love the trench coat." looking at the clock he continued: "SHIT, they're going to be here soon. we have to get everything ready." Severus laughed and pointed around the room. "Everything is ready, the singers and bands are here, the food and punch are ready, the tables are set and the bands have set up. don't worry so much." Harry sighed and nodded.

twenty minutes later people started ariving, from the very wealthy malfoys to the mediocre Weasleys, everyone was invited. Everyone but Dumbledore and star and anyone below the age of fifteen. Ron and Hermione ran up to Harry and gave him a big hug each. "It's been so long Harry, why did you leave school?" Hermione said looking at Harry disapprovingly. Harry snorted and walked away saying: "None of your business. if that's all you can say to me then i suggest you leave. i have been through enough already and i don't need to be put through hell because you think i should be going back to school. Ron let's go." Ron followed obediantly, not wanting to also get kicked out. Hermione glaired at Harry and followed him. "So what? you defeated you-know-who and you're too good for school? are you too good for us too? so you had a bad childhood you make it sound like you had it worse than anyone in history and i know there are people out there that have suffered more than you so stop acting like a baby and grow up."

Draco walked up to Hermione and slapped her: "How DARE you. i've been through SHIT and i will NEVER say something like that to Harry. you're just a stuck up little shit faced muddblood. you take that boy toy of yours and get out of here." Ron looked at Draco and walked up to Hermione saying: "I agree with Malfoy all but the boy toy part. You have NO idea what Harry's been through so don't you even dare talk to him like that. get out Hermione, we don't need people like you ruining the best night of Harry's life." Severus then walked up, after seeing the tears on Harry's eyes and glaired daggers at Hermione who refused to leave the manor: "Ms. Granger, you are testing my patients. get out of my home or i will see fit to use force." Hermione glaired at Harry before saying the worse thing she possibly could: "What? you sleeping with Snape now you fucking pillow biter. no wander he quit his job, it was all for your dumb ass." Severus was seeing red by this point but before he could say or do anything harry turned and looked at his former best friend before shouting: "I WILL NOT PUT UP WITH THIS SHIT. YOU STUCK UP BITCH. I'VE BEEN THROUGH TOO MUCH TO DEAL WITH YOU NOW GET OUT OF THIS MANOR." Hermione still refused to budge even seeing the scar on harry's forehead reappear and start to bleed.

"Get out mudblood. i'm warning you, if you don't Severus will break every bone in your body. right now he's trying not to because of Harry, but once he takes one look...too late." Draco said looking at Severus who had gone white in the face looking at harry's bleeding forehead and tears. Severus walked over and grabbed hermione's wrist instantly breaking it: "Get out of my house NOW." he commanded throwing the witch from the room. once he knew hermione wouldn't come back he walked over to harry and kissed the young man on the forehead, healing the wound instantly. "Harry, calm down okay? come on now, she's gone, she won't say anything ever again if i have a say in it." Harry looked up at Severus and hugged him for all he was worth. "Thank you Sev. I didn't want to hurt her." Severus nodded and hugged Harry back. Draco looked over at Ron and together they went to take a seat and wait for the other guests to arrive.

The rest of the night went without much worry, soon band after band sang their songs and Harry listened to them all. once the bands were finished and it was time for the solo singers, Severus walked up to the stage and took the microphone: "This song is for the only person i will ever love. he's the only one i will ever sing for It's a song by Bryan adams." with that the music started playing and Severus started singing:

Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

Look into my heart - you will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all I would sacrifice
Don't tell me it's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

There's no love - like your love
And no other - could give more love
There's nowhere - unless you're there
All the time - all the way

Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it there's nothin' I want more
I would fight for you - I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you - Ya I'd die for you

Ya know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you

Harry was about to jump on stage and hug the potion's master silly. That was the most beautiful song anyone had ever sang to him. once everyone stopped clapping he walked up to the stage and whispered in Severus' ear: "Oh yeah? well two can play at that game." with that he took the mike and said: "This song is for the only person i've ever loved to this extent. this song is by cascada so don't think i'm artistic in any way." and with that the music started and he began to sing.

I still hear your voice, when you sleep next to me.
I still feel your touch in my dreams.
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why.
Without you it's hard to survive.

Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
I need you by my side.
Cause everytime we touch, I feel the static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat slow.
I can't let you go.
I want you in my life.

Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky.
They wipe away tears that I cry.
The good and the bad times, we've been through them all.
You make me rise when I fall.

Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss, I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast.
I want this to last.
I need u by my side.

Everyone cheered once the song was over and Harry ran over to the love of his life and gave him the biggest hug he could muster. once he had calmed a bit from the rush of singing and dancing he looked up at Severus and smiled. Severus smiled back and kissed the young man for all he was worth, pouring everything he felt into that kiss. Harry felt tears fall from his eyes but he was too happy to care anymore. he felt a tongue on his lips and opened his mouth willingly to accept it. Cheers could be heard from all over the room as Harry felt magic surrounding him and his beloved and noticed Severus holding on to him tighter than he had dared hope for. he felt complete at last. Once the kiss ended he looked around and could only see a magical light surrounding both him and severus. "I love you Harry James potter, be mine forever?" Harry nodded. "Yes Severus Sabastin Snape, I will be yours as long as you will be mine. I love you so much." Severus answered by kissing his beloved once more, and Harry couldn't be happier.
