----------------------------------------------

Almost a week had past. Harry did not talk to Snape outside of class, nor went down to see him since the "incident" had happened. Snape made a few attempts to get Harry to come and see him when the boy was alone, but Harry easily made an excuse. It's like he was always listing reasons not to talk to his father in his head!

Snape, on day 3, had given up. Well, he didn't call it giving up, he claimed it 'giving Aiden time' to Dumbledore every time the meddling old fool bugged him.

When Snape wasn't teaching, or thinking of his son, his thoughts wondered to how the ministry found out (but he guessed that IS related to his son…). In one of the times he was talking to his old mentor, he asked as much.

"Albus, if the ministry happened to not be watching us at any moment during these past three days, how could they have found out?"

Dumbledore sighed, popping another lemon drop in his mouth, causing Snap to scowl of course. Looking thoughtful for another few moments, the elder man looked the younger one in the eyes.

"Someone could have been spying, and told the ministry I suppose. Possible…a death eater in training looking to ruin Aidens chance for a happy life."

"But how would we have missed somebody spying? Or spells they were using?" Dumbledore sighed once more.

"My boy, contrary to popular beliefs, I don't have the answers to everything." And with that Dumbledore excused himself and left Snape to think.

Snape left the room and headed to the dungeons. Once he closed the door softly, put up a few spells (like a silencing spell). He sat down in front of his fire place, gently picked up an empty potion vial. It smelt of a calming Draught. It was the potion he had used to set his emotions right after the Ministry destroyed everything he ever wanted and everything Aiden needed.

The black haired man snarled. Gripping the vial tighter, he stood up and threw it at the cold stone wall as hard as he could.

"I fail everyone!" He shouted. He knew he really needed a calming draught right now, but for once he felt he could screw the potion and just let it all out. Life wasn't fair. He had failed lily, and now his son. He hadn't been able to do anything to stop what happened to his beautiful Lily, but he could do something for his son. He had too.

Waving his wand at the mess of glass Snape muttered "Scourgify." He turned dramatically and strutted into his study. He was going to do something right this time. Aiden will still have to go to court, but if he creates a plan, Aiden will be his for sure.

-

Harry was angry. Nothing ever went right. He was a complete fuck up. Why does the ministry have to ruin everything his mind screamed. Harry thought he could keep his father from knowing how filthy and tainted he was, but no. Nothing was that easy. Especially not for The-boy-who-fucking-lived-no-matter-what.

Sighing, Harry plopped down on a rock by the lake. He pushed his fingers into his eyes; a headache was starting to blossom into his mind. His life was just like a flower in a sense….it would grow, blossom, and seem all perfect. Then it would slowly and painfully die. And then do it all over again, until picked to be torn from his misery.

But no, he was never picked to be torn from his misery. He was doomed to repeat it. He kicked angrily at the green grass below him.

Suddenly he felt someone shove him lightly, telling him to move over. His eyes landed on Mark, who's eyes never moved from the shimmering lake. Harry inwardly sighed. Taking a breath, he quickly acted cheerful.

"So what's up Mark?"

Mark finally turned his head to him, he grinned.

"I should be asking you that." Harry quickly lost his smile.

"Just the same, why?" Marks' grin grew. "I was warned about this…."

The minute the words left the younger boys mouth, Harry could feel metal binds being wrapped around his wrist. It took only seconds for Harry to realize what they were. Green eyes grew wide as he was lead back in side by a winning first year. No escape from the tight binds, Harry just fallowed him.

---

They were on a couch in the RoR. Mark was sitting by Harry as he yanked the binds off. Green eyes glared at bright brown ones as Harry rubbed his irritated wrist.

"So Har-bear, care to inform me about why you're so upset?" Harry sighed, he knew he couldn't say anything specifically, but he was going to need to say enough to satisfy Mark.

Running a hand threw his hair, Harry thought up something to say.

"Something happened….well…someone. At least I think. Anyways, this someone or something, just took away all I wanted. And maybe if I had been more careful, it might not have happened." Mark looked at Harry, understand drawn on him. He said as he spoke.

"I understand." He continued on a little more cheerfully. "There are times like that, that make you wish you could go back in time and change things. A second chance. People always say you have a second chance, but when it happened in the past and it really mostly affects you. That second chance is pretty much none."

Harry gasped a little, eyes widening as something dawned on him. Standing up faster than light he spoke to Mark excitedly.

"Thanks Mark! I have an idea; I'll talk to you later! Thanks again!"

Harry dashed off, leaving a grinning, but confused, first year to give himself a silent victory party.

-

Snape broke out in a smile as his plan was written down on three pieces of paper, ready for the headmaster to look over. He folded them neatly and slipped them into a rectangular black envelope.

But before he gave Dumbledore his plan, he had to let his son know. Snape slipped the envelope into one of his pockets. He then walked as fast as he could to were he figured his son was

Harry had dashed off to his trunk. Digging in around his school books and other random items, he came to a box about the size of a full grown female's palm.

He sat back on his heals as he slowly open the box, fully afraid it wasn't there anymore. He grinned when his eyes landed on the item. Pulling it out on its chain, he stood up and let the blue cardboard box clattered to the ground.

The dark haired boy admired the item. He held back a laugh as giddiness built up inside of him. 'Just some turns of this necklace, and everything will be fixed' the small 5h year thought. Harry was grinning like a mad man, he recited the lines out loud once for practice.

"I mark the hours every one, nor have I yet outrun the sun. My use and value onto you are gauged by what you have to do." Harry kept grinning as he slipped the long chain over his head. As he was about to spin the item, the door was slammed open.

A deep voice echoed "Aiden!" It was his father! Aidens' mouth fell open a little his widening eyes fell on his fathers face, excitement on the elder wizards face was slowly turning from shock, into rage.

Snape ran the rest of the way to Aiden. He roughly grabbed the boys wrist, letting the necklace fall from the hand. Snape ripped the necklace off of Aiden.

He shook it in Aidens face.

"What were you THINKING!?!"

Aiden was so shocked, he forgot to be scared.
