After classes Harry took Severus outside and Severus was practicing his walking, he was really wobbly and that is why they were practicing outside in the grass just in case Sev falls down

That night while Harry was working on his homework Severus was walking all over the place by hanging onto the furniture, he wouldn't let Harry help him in any way, he was determined to walk

" Sev don't you think you're overdoing it a bit?" Harry asked

Severus glared at Harry and said, " No" very firmly

Severus moved to the coffee table and was thinking about how to walk to the dinning room without assistance from Harry or furniture since there was no furniture to help him out after he lets go of the coffee table

Severus took a deep breath and slowly let go of the coffee table and tried to balance himself and he only walked two steps and he fell on his hands and knees

Harry saw that, " Severus" Harry said and jumped up and went over to him and picked him up

" Down, down" Severus protested

" If you want to walk you need to hang on to furniture, you are not balanced enough to walk without help" Harry scolded

Severus pouted

Harry stood Severus back up and made sure he was hanging on to something

Five minutes later there was a thump and a crash and a hiss in pain

" SEVERUS" Harry said rushing to help

Severus was holding the back of his head and his face was in agony but he wasn't crying

Harry picked him up and brought him over to the couch

" Here let me see it" Harry said

" NO" Severus yelled

Harry moved Severus's hand with some force because Severus was fighting

" NO NO NO OWY" Severus yelled

The back of Severus's head was bleeding and Harry couldn't get to the cut because of all the hair, some of the hair was bloodied and stuck to the wound and Harry had to pull it away and apparently that hurt

" STOP IT" Severus yelled

" Shh, calm down, I'm going to put a band aid on it and an ice pack, it'll make it feel better, and then you're getting a child pain reliever potion... and then we're going to talk about your lack of crying" Harry said

Severus looked fearful at that statement and then glared again, " NO"

Harry wasn't listening, he went to the bedroom with a protesting Severus in his arms and got a band aid that had medicine on it and he put it on the wound, then he called for Dobby to bring him an icepack which he did and Harry got the pain relieving potion which Severus had no trouble drinking

" Now we are going to talk about your lack of crying" Harry said

" NO" Severus said with a pout

" Severus ever since you turned into a baby you haven't cried once for anything, when you needed something you just yelled" Harry said

" No cry, crying bad" Severus said

" Says who?" Harry asked

Severus glared, " None of your biness"

" Severus guess what... it is my business" Harry said

" No it not" Severus said still holding that glare

" Sev it's unnatural for babies to not cry" Harry said

" Not baby Potter" Severus snapped

" Well physically you are" Harry said

" Not mentley" Severus said

" You sure about that?" Harry asked

" POTTER" Severus yelled

" Oh calm down Sev and stop calling me Potter, we already talked about that, look I know you have all of your memories, but you're not all adult inside there, you act very childish every day, and lets just say you don't act like the Potions professor that scares the students every chance he gets"

" hard do it yike dis" Severus said indicating to his baby self

" True, but I said you're not acting like the potions professor that scares the students every chance he gets, I didn't say look like" Harry said

" What point is dis talk?" Severus asked

" The point is that it is unnatural not to cry, for babies or for anybody" Harry said, " When was the last time you cried?"

" Shed tears... fiteen years ago" Severus said

" It's been fifteen years since you shed tears? And that's not even crying" Harry said, " Ok when was the last time you were really emotional when you were hurt or something?"

Severus shrugged, " I don't remember"

" Well that's too long for me" Harry said, " You need to cry Sev, it's not good to bottle things up... or take out your anger on the other students"

Severus smirked

" If I were you, I wouldn't be smirking for long" Harry said seriously, " Because now we are going to go down memory lane and figure out when was the last time you actually cried, and what made you stop crying all together"

" What? NO" Severus said fearfully

" Yes Sev" Harry said

" You can't do Yegimency, Severus said, " You bary know occumency

" I know I can't, but Dumbledore can" Harry said

" NO, Pwease NO" Severus begged

" Severus this is serious" Harry said

" No it not" Severus said

" Yes it is, now come on" Harry said picking him up

" Put me down, Put me down" Severus said trying to wiggle from Harry's grasp but not succeeding

Severus was wiggling all the way to Dumbledore's office and the password was Chocolate Frogs. Harry stepped up onto the winding staircase and kept a firm hold on the wiggling Severus, when the staircase stopped Harry adjusted his hold on Severus and knocked on the door

" Come in Harry" Dumbledore said before Harry even opened the door

" How did you know I came up here Professor?" Harry asked

" I have my ways" Dumbledore said with a twinkle in his eye, " Now would either of you like a lemon drop?"

" No thank you" Harry said

" No" Severus said still squirming

" Maybe you should take a seat Harry, you don't want to drop him with all of his wiggling" Dumbledore said

Harry nodded and took a seat with a wiggling Severus in his lap

" Put me down, put me down" Severus kept protesting

" So what can I do for you?" Dumbledore asked

" I'm worried about Severus" Harry said

" Oh, do go on" Dumbledore said

" He doesn't remember the last time he cried, which is bad, he said the last time he shed tears was fifteen years ago, and he keeps having nightmares and he won't tell me about them which will help a lot" Harry said

" I see, and what do you want me to do Harry?" Dumbledore asked

" I was wondering, if you knew how to use Legimency on a child, or will it hurt the child too bad?" Harry asked

" Actually Harry, I know how to use Legimency on a child, but I don't know if I can use Legimency on this particular child, since he knows Occlumency"

" Well isn't there a chance that since he is a baby that his shields won't be as powerful?" Harry asked

Severus's eyes widened, Harry was right, his shields are not as powerful as a baby as they are as an adult

" Well by the look in Severus's eyes, I'd say Harry that you are right" Dumbledore said

" NO" Severus yelled and tried squirming even harder

" So now that we know that, can you please use Legimency on him?" Harry asked

" I can, but you will need to hold him and calm him down" Dumbledore said, " I don't want to hurt him"

Harry nodded and started rubbing soothing circles on Severus's back that would calm him even when he was his fussiest

" No, Pwease" Severus begged Dumbledore

" I'm sorry my boy, but this is for your own good" Dumbledore said with no twinkle in his eye, " Now just relax Severus and look into my eyes"

" No" Severus whispered and closed his eyes

Dumbledore sighed, " Severus open you eyes"

Severus shook his head no

" Well, then I'm afraid I'm going to have to take Hissy away from you for a week" Harry said

" What? No" Severus protested, " Don't take Hissy" Severus said opening his eyes and looking at Harry

" Then look at Professor Dumbledore" Harry said

Severus looked really scared and looked like he was about to cry but the tears didn't come

" Severus, it's for your own good" Dumbledore said

" I want Hissy now" Severus whispered

" Accio Hissy" Harry said and two minutes later Hissy came flying into Harry's arms and he gave it to Severus, " Now will you do as we say?"

Severus hugged his stuffed snake and gloomily nodded and looked at the headmaster who cast Legimens

Dumbledore came out of Severus's mind about five minutes later and Severus was panting and sweating and he looked like he was about to cry

" Harry, I think you need to see this" Dumbledore said sadly, " I didn't even know about this" Dumbledore went to his pensieve and pointed his wand to his temple and a silver mist came out

" No Dumdore" Severus squeaked

" Severus Harry must see this, he is your guardian" Dumbledore said

" NO" Severus said with a glare, " Hawy be in nouf of memies"

" And now he's going to be in one more" Dumbledore said

" NO" Severus yelled

" Yes Severus, and you're coming too" Dumbledore said

Severus gasped and looked fearful

" Professor what is the memory?" Harry asked

" This is what Severus's nightmares have all been about" Dumbledore explained

" He don't need to know" Severus protested

" Yes he does my boy... yes he does" Dumbledore said, " Come on Harry"

" No Dumdore pwease" Severus begged

Nobody was listening to Severus and Harry walked over to the pensieve and he and Severus went inside with Dumbledore behind them
