Severus sat at the head quarters of the Order of the Phoenix. He had been there all night and despite the fact it was already morning, Dumbledore was still going on about plans to bring down the Dark Lord, and if Dumbledore kept on he had no choice but to leave.

He had to check on Lily and Harry. It wasn't like he didn't trust them but he had promised Madam Pomfrey when he told her he was taking Harry in, that he would monitor and record his progress daily, for tracking his healing progress which would be necessary evidence when and if they decided to take the Dursleys to court. Which he hoped they did, he highly doubted they could or would last another summer with the Dursleys.

Ten minutes later the meeting was still going strong and this annoyed the Potions Master to no end. This meeting seemed to be planned to keep him away from the two teens in his care and that's what finally burned away the last of his patience.

Severus waited until the old man paused before pushing his chair back making sure it scraped loudly against the floor drawling everyone's attention. Walking around the long wooden table to the large stone fireplace he was about to grab a hand full of Floo powder but the voice of his new sworn enemy stopped him.

"Where are you going Severus" Dumbledore asked knowing exactly where the man was going.

"Figures that Snape thinks he's better than the rest of us" Sirius Black sneered; his voice was emotionless but held traces of the need for sleep "He believes he can leave before the rest of us"

"I have things to attend to" Severus sneered back turning around to meet the gaze of Sirius Black "You would have too if you did not decide to become a convict"

That was the straw that broke the camel's back, not even five seconds after saying that last sentence Severus was staring down the wand of the man he had pissed off, and it was obvious that Albus would not say a thing, hoping that Sirius would kill Severus or at least wound him severally enough to give him, Albus, temporary 'custody' of the teens. In that time he would most likely use Lily and Harry to his advantage.

"So where are you going?'Sirius asked again

"That's none of your damn business" Severus sneered now having his wand drawn as well" My personal business does not concern the likes of you"

"I am not going to ask you again" Sirius said in a low deadly voice but that did not scare the ex-death eater a bit, all it did was draw a smirk on Severus's face "I am not in the mood to deal with you"

"Something wrong?" Severus asked" Suffering from not hearing from your precious godson?" Those words made Black stop cold, his arm falling limp at his side, wand falling to the floor.

"Have . . . have you heard. . . Any- anything?" Sirius asked voice dripping with concern "About Harry?"

The other order members that had been whispering in the background where silent now. Molly and Arthur Weasley had their eyes trained on Severus. Worry clearly etched on their faces and thoughts of Harry being captured where probably flowing through their minds. Sirius's Cousin, Nymphadora Tonks, and Remus Lupin studied Severus' demeanor looking for traces of information his body language might give away. Members of the Auror department and people he did not know all had their eyes trained on him for information about Harry Potter and his condition.

"I Know where he is at if you would like to see him" Severus stated knowing it would be the right thing to do.' Lily is never going to let me forget this' Severus thought as Black looked at him his eyes asking if it was joke but by the way Severus stood told everyone he wasn't

Everything was unbelievably comfortable as Harry woke up. It seemed the events of last night were far away until he realized his head rested on Lily's lap, that's when the flood gates came crashing down.

The memory of the nightmare and the reason his head now rested on his sister's lap. Lily was the only person he ever felt safe with anymore. She was the one person he knew he could always turn to, even when his friends were way to busy with their fighting, bickering and believing what everyone said behind his back, and then pretending they were on his side all along.

But Lily was the one person who would actually take time to listen to him, even if she had to skip a few classes and that was just like she always had done. To Lily the way Harry felt was way more important than any class she had at the moment, that was just like she was when they were smaller. Some things about her had never changed and that was the best part about having a sister like Lily. She knew everything about him and could pick out the lies about him in a heartbeat.

Harry froze as he felt Lily brush her finger tips against his ear as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes. Then Harry felt Lily run her fingers through his hair and he began to relax like he always did when she did that; it had always been after the beatings or when she first found out Vernon had been molesting him.

"How are you?"Lily asked

"Tired" Harry replied "Nightmares take a lot out of me"

"Do you want to talk about it?"Lily asked her voice was soft and allowed him to hear the emotions she was holding in.

"I don't want to talk about it" Harry replied. He hated the way nightmares made him feel; weak and vulnerable, his current feelings.

After a private conversation about Harry's location Sirius agreed to go with Severus despite the fact that Albus attempted to stop them. The key word being attempt because he really stood there and gave them reasons why they shouldn't go, and like the stubborn men they where Severus and Sirius had ignored him and went on their way.

As they entered Severus's private chamber's Sirius was taken aback by the pictures that were lined up on the mantel, they were not what the Marauder thought the bastard would have in his living space. The pictures where of Lillian and Draco, who most had discovered were his godchildren, throughout the years. Sirius did not know which brought his attention back to the present; the loud bang coming from the empty door or the appearance of the person he wanted to see the most.
