Happily Ever After … Or Not?
Chapter 11
"My Lord?" asked a servant knocking on the door.
"Enter" snapped Severus, he didn't like his sleep being interrupted, however his mood was about to vanish.
"Master Potter is awake" she said softly, looking anxiously at him.
"Indeed? I shall be there momentarily." said Severus quickly getting his robe on. It was cold walking around the castle at night and he didn't plan on getting the cold any time soon.
"Yes My Lord" said Samantha bowing low, before leaving her Master to follow.

"Hurry My Lord, Master Harry is panicking" said Samantha looking worried.
"Stop it!" snapped Harry they were trying to cut his breakfast into very small pieces. It was freaking him out, no one had done anything for him before.
Harry started backing away from them, looking afraid, they were freaking him out now. They were being too friendly with him, he was a servant as far as he was concerned they were up to something. They were going to hurt him, and very badly, he knew how it went that's the way it was with the Dursley's.
"Harry! Calm down" said Severus coming into the room, having started running when Samantha had said something was wrong with Harry.
"Sev….My Lord" said Harry bowing low, Harry was scared now, this man had every right to be mad at him. He had lied to him, to the Prince one day King to the throne. He deserved to be hung for what he had done.
"Leave" said Severus curtly to the other servants.
They bowed low before leaving in a single file, closing the door behind them. Severus saw that Harry was trying as he may to squash himself into the corner. Severus felt awful, but he had not done anything for this kind of behaviour to be coming from Harry.
"Calm down Riddle is no longer able to hurt you" said Severus soothingly.
"What do you want from?" asked Harry wide eyed, still not looking up.
"Getting you better, Lord Potter" said the King.
"I am not a Lord," protested Harry, looking even more scared.
"Actually we have recently found out that your parents were a Lord and Lady. It would not matter if you were just a servant, my son is very fond of you, although I'm not happy with the way he became fond of you" said the king no real anger in his voice.
"How?" asked Harry wide eyed.
"Because you look like your father, and we now know you didn't die with them" said the king.
"Oh" was all a dumb looking Harry could say.
"However, you have twenty days to decide what you want done with them otherwise I will have to decide the punishment myself" said the king.
"What? Who?" asked Harry wide eyed scared and skitterish.
"The Dursley's" said the Prince.
"But heis a Lord! I cannot do such a thing…" said Harry looking ready to be sick. The Prince and King didn't approach they knew better than to otherwise the young man would end up more scared of them. They had gotten good advice from the best people in the area.
"He wronged you in the worst way possible, he will be punished if by my hand or yours is entirely up to yourself. I will leave you for now, goodday" said the King leaving his son and Harry alone.

"I'm sorry" whispered Harry ashamed.
"Do not be, for I am not" said Severus soothingly going forward.
"How can you not be? I lied to you, you spoke to a servant" said Harry.
"I forgave you, you have given me something to hope for, love life and someone to help bring my country fairness." smiled Severus softly.
"People will hate me, they wont understand! Almost everyone thinks I'm a servant" replied Harry sadly.
"Everyone know the truth now," said Severus.
"Do they believe it?" said Harry.
"I'm sure they do," said Severus soothingly "It's coming from the King and Queen after all."
"Oh" said Harry, scooting over towards Severus for comfort.
"I don't deserve you" sighed Harry when he was cuddled into a warm comforting gentle chest.
"Nonsense I'm as bad as you" said Severus, he had ran away just too see what it was like to be normal.
Harry said nothing in reply, he was obviously exhausted.
"Are you hungry?" asked Severus.
"Always" said Harry truthfully, not removing his face from Severus' chest, Harry didn't think he had ever been so comfortable in his entire life.
"Do you not remember your parents?" asked Severus and yelled for someone to get some soup in a big cup.
"No, nothing" said Harry.
"Well not surprised, the psychologist thinks you shut your good memories out to adapt to your new life when your parents died" said Severus softly.
"Maybe" said Harry when Severus began moving he clutched Severus harder not wanting to let him leave.
"Let's get you on a bed sweet one, I wont leave I promise, I will be here always" soothed Severus softly, Harry had never been this open with him, Severus found he rather liked that.
