Chapter 11

It's Over

Mya's POV

Mya had been riding on a cloud since her daddy and Severus had gone to "the next step" whatever that meant. Mya didn't know the exact definition, but she knew it was a good thing by how happy her daddy was after he had said yes. She hoped that "the next step" would involve Severus becoming her Papa. So far, it seemed to be happening. The morning after Severus had asked the question, both of her dads had been extremely happy, and that made her happy too.

Everything is Mya's world seemed to be right at that moment at breakfast. Severus was smiling, Daddy was laughing, Mya felt like her family was complete, the mean man was nowhere to be found, she was at the most awesome amazing school ever, she could do magic just like her daddy and Severus, and her tea set was prepped and ready for their first family tea party. Her little girl brain could not think of one thing that could go wrong. Lucky for her, the next month would go perfectly. For her and her Daddy.

Severus's POV

Severus was in love. He was in love with Harry Potter. No seriously. He was. The only problem was that Severus was just a lowly Death Eater and Harry was the Savior of the Wizard World. Harry deserved so much better than him. The morning after their first time together, before Harry had woken up, Severus had just lay in bed and stared at his mark, black and ugly against his paler than normal skin. He thought back on all the horrific things he was forced to do and endure while he was a spy. All the torture, all the death, all the blood. He was scarred for life. Harry deserved much better than him. He deserved someone his own age, not someone who was old enough to be his father. Someone clean.

That was when Severus decided it. He was going to break it off with Harry for the other man's own good. The Savior would get over him quickly. There were plenty of other fish in the sea for a young man like Harry. Severus on the other hand would be alone again. Like it was before. He didn't mind as much as he thought he would, though. Because if it meant Harry would be happy, then he would do anything, endure anything.

Just then, Harry walked into the room. Severus suddenly was very nervous. This was it. Mya wasn't around; she was in her room playing with her dolls. It was just him and Harry.

"Harry…" he started. The next 6 words were the hardest words he had ever said, but he got them out of his tight throat. "I-I think we should end this"

Harry's POV

Harry, like his daughter, was floating on cloud nine ever since that first night. He couldn't believe anyone would want to date a worthless person like him. Don't get him wrong, Harry now knew that all the deaths weren't his fault, but that didn't mean he was a hero either. He still didn't feel like he meant anything. He fulfilled his prophecy purpose in life. There was nothing left.

Except Severus. Severus was like his light at the end of his long dark tunnel, along with Mya of course. Those two people were the most important things in his life at the moment. He should have known it was coming, though. When had anything gone right for him?

It started when he had left Mya to play dolls in her room and headed to the living room to be with Severus. When he walked in, he immediately noticed the pained look on Severus's face and began to worry. He was about to ask what was wrong when Severus interrupted with the one thing he didn't want to hear.

"Harry…" Severus said harshly, as if it physically hurt him to say what he was saying. "I-I think we should end this." Harry's jaw hung open. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Severus was – was breaking up with him? He didn't know what to say.

"Um….what?" was all he could say through his shock. He saw Severus trying to give an explaination, but all Harry heard was the blood pounding in his ears. The only reason Harry knew the Potion's Master was talking was because his lips were moving frantically. The lips. Oh the lips. Those lips would probably never touch his own again. 'Stop it Harry, you are over reacting.' Harry tried to calm himself down enough to listen to Severus. His attempts failed, however, and he ended up feeling rage and anger rise up instead of calm.

Severus was still talking when Harry interrupted, "Fine then! I guess you think you are too good for me, don't you? Severus Snape, who had the Dark Lord Voldemort fooled. Severus Snape, the person who is above all others in everything that he does! I should have known! You are just so self-centered and you have always been. Why did I think now would be any different? Well, it's too late now I guess. I'll just take Mya and leave you to yourself. I'll have a house elf return to pick up our things and Mya's potion." Harry had decided to get out of there as soon as possible to try to lessen his humiliation as much as possible.

He stormed out of the room before Severus could even fit in another word. He made his way to Mya's room and found her on the floor surrounded by her Barbie's. "Come on sweetie." Harry directed at Mya, "We are going to leave now. I'm sorry but we can't stay here anymore. We will bring our stuff with us later, but right now we just have to go." He said in his most gentle tone possible at that moment.

Harry almost broke at the look on Mya's face when he delivered the news. Her eyes widened and filled with tears. Her bottom lip quivered as Harry picked the little girl up off the floor and made his way back down the long, dark corridor towards the living room. He totally ignored Severus as he walked through the room towards the portrait hole.

Luckily for him, it was a Hogsmeade weekend so most kids were out of the school and the ones who were still in Hogwarts were all in their common rooms hanging out with their friends for the weekend. He still held his crying daughter in his arms as he reached the wards, and when he passed them he immediately apparated away.

Severus's POV

It was done. He had done it. Harry and Mya were gone. Severus sat in his room on his bed replaying memories of the few nights he had spent with Harry there in that room. He sat crying for a couple minutes until he managed to rein himself in and convince himself that it was for Harry's own good. 'He deserves better' the Potion's Master kept repeating to himself. Severus then rose from his slouched position and headed to the living room to return to his normal routine in an attempt to make things better for himself.

Harry's POV

'You can get through this. Besides, he deserves better' Harry repeated to himself as he apparated away from his most recent pain. When the suffocating darkness ended, Harry looked up and found himself at the first place he had thought to go to feel safe. The Burrow.
