WARNING THE FIRST BOT OF THE CHAPTER IS VERY VIOLENT. SO ENJOY

Harry was holding his breath praying that the madness would end. This man in black had come out of nowhere and saved him.

He watched at the man in black struggled to breathe, eyes starting to role back. Harry wanted to help, but he couldn't move; he was frozen in this horror show.

He looked left and right for something to hit his uncle in the head with or something, but the only thing close enough was the broken mug.

Grabbing on of the bigger parts of the mug and closed his eyes. Stabbing it deep into Vernon's arm.

"GAH! " Shifting and throwing the man in black off him.

There was a raspy cough from the man in black. Harry ran over to him and tried to help him up.

"Stay behind me." He weezed.

Harry listened and his behind the all unknown man, trembling as the man in black grabbed a knife off the counter.

"Close your eyes." Harry wanted to, but couldn't bring himself to.

He watched the man walk toward Vernon. Who was grabbing the hammer and started to swing it like a toy axe.

The man in black was hit in the shoulder and in the shin, but nothing seemed to stop him in his determination to save him.

Vernon raised the hammer above his head and with with one powerful blow he slammed it down.

"NOO!" Harry cried.

The man in black caught the hammer in hand and dragging the fat man toward him, he plunged the knife deep into his chest.

"Vernon..." Harry ran over.

The man in black wrapped a hand around his waists and lifted him of his shoulder.

Standing out side of the house Harry kicked the man in the stomach.

"You killed him!" Harry was dropped onto the grass.

"I didn't he would have killed us both." the man spoke carefully.

Anger boiled through his veins and he screamed on the top his lungs. Fire seemed to dance from his finger tips, but he was cold.

The emotions tormented him, overwhelmed him, destroyed him. Harry started to hyperventilate, and his vision faded in and out, but soon nust out.

Harry collapsed onto the ground. Swallowed by the darkness and the hatred.

sSs

Severus screwed up big. He killed the man, he killed Harry's uncle and now Harry hated him. Could he fuck up anymore than this?

He went down and scooped up the child in his arms and held him close. Yes, Harry may hate him, but he has a mission and that is to protect this child.

Holding Harry as close as he could to his body to comfort and keep him safe. He sighed and apperated into the night.

Harry awoke with voice of joy and celebration. Harry fluttered his eye lids to see a older man with a long white beard, half moon glasses and a twinkle in his eyes. Next to him stood a tall thin woman in emerald green, hair pulled back into a tight bun.

"Where... where am I?" Harry looked around the room.

"The hospital wing." A silk voice replied.

Harry looked to his left and sitting beside him on a chair was the man in black.

"You killed my uncle..." Harry sat up straight, but soon flinched when their was a splitting pain in his head.

" I didn't want to. I am truly sorry about that. I just wanted you safe." The man spoke of sincerity.

"Now enough of this depressing talk. I am Albus Dumbledore amd this is my right hand woman Minerva McGonagall." The nice woman on his left smiled.

"This is Hogwarts! Your new home." Harry blinked.

"We have been expecting you for a long time now. Also, don't be so hash on Severus. He loves you very much."

The older man and the woman walked out of the wing. Leaving just those two alone.

"You're Severus Snape?" Harry raised both eye brows.

Harry looked him over, shallow skin, hooked nose, greasy raven hair...

"You're not at all what I thought." He admitted, noticing the pink that just tinged his cheeks.

"Yes, well I may not be prince charming, but I can be great company..." Severus smirked. "If you're on my good side."

Harry chuckled.

"Well, I hope I'm on yours. And I believe you make the perfect prince charming."

Severus looked at the boy with disbelief. It almost looked like he's never been told he was beautiful.

Harry looked the man straight in his eyes. "Forevermore I will

be your princess and you shall be my prince."

Severus smiled and sat on the bed. "May I kiss you?"

Harry closed his eyes and held his breath. Severus leaned in and whispered agaisnt his ear.

"You can breathe you know."

The seemed to let the air out and relax. Severus rubbed his nose agaisnt the boys, enjoying this small amount of affection.

He pressed his lips softly against the boys, waiting to feel pressure back. When he finally received it he smiled and wrapped his arms around him, pulling him into his lap.

It wasn't a strong kiss, but it still had feeling in it. Severus and Harry broke apart.

"Wow... May we-"

"Once you're better. Now rest, you need your sleep."

Almost as if hypnotized the boy fell asleep. With a final kiss on the sleeping boys lips we went off into his chambers.

sSs

Life seemed better... seemed worth living for. His life was according to plan.

Now, he just need to let Lucius know the boy will be ready to be taken in 3 weeks time.
