Sorry for the shortness, but I promise there will be more chapters today and tomorrow. (: I already got a few chapters ready, just checking it over and still writing it as well. I will post the next chapter after I see some reviews.
Enjoy~
Time seems to be more than a drag. It was like living in hell for Merlin's world. The savior had rushed to Minerva during late night after Eileen tried to see if the Point-Me Charm locates her son and failed several times within five minutes. There wasn't any direct connection or access. Minerva tried to return to the original place that Severus was kidnapped previous and she tried to search the entire building of that place. Harry wasn't sitting down at all when waiting for her.
Unfortunately, she couldn't find him when she had returned and Harry refused to see he's gone. The headmistress had never seen her former student in such despair moment. The Gryffindor went to his friends and Hermione was shocked. Ron didn't know how to respond to this anymore since he hasn't met the man properly again.
"Harry, someone might have hacked into the Floo network to kidnap-"
"NO! He was misflooed and in the wrong place." Harry refused to believe it otherwise.
The Weasely was confused. He knew how protective his mate is and going against what his fiancée is trying to be realistic about. The red head knew he was to stand up for his lover and help this case.
"Harry!" Ron frowned at him, "You don't treat Hermione like that. Now, let her finish and just face it, Snape is the world's wanted. We know he isn't our typical deatheater and that he is the spy war for us. You already convinced most of Hogwarts to trust him again because of you, so shut up mate and let Hermione finish what she has to say." He insisted, hoping this wouldn't cause problem.
Harry stared at him, shocked to see the mature side of Ron for once, and he knew this was the truth. His pet has been kidnapped and he refused to see it otherwise. Hermione was only giving him an insight reality.
"Harry, they may have hacked in to kidnap him and kill him like they had planned." She noticed how stricken ill he had looked, "There are over two hundred ways to hack in and be able to pin it."
"Great, let's pin it now!" Harry chose not to waste time.
She frowned, "Harry, you have to understand to pin each of them would take half an hour to see if it is the one the person used. We don't even know which ones they're using!"
Harry wanted to kill himself so he could use his ghost side to locate his lover. He couldn't imagine losing him more than anything, but he knew that Severus would be hand down to anyone and he refused to see anything happening to their child. He knew the woman would try to protect him, but that wouldn't help much.
Hermione and Ron went to the cabin of his by her apparition and Harry followed her when he held onto side apparition. Hermione began on her part, but she hardly had much of a clue.
The vacation week was ending almost and Harry hasn't eaten at all for the past three days. Ron managed to care for his 'brother' at the best he could while Hermione was busy trying to multitasks two pins, but her wands wouldn't allow it. Harry felt that after ten pinning down those hacking floos, it was stalling time. He tried to mind link as much as possible while waiting and Ron couldn't even understand how to pin those floos. Hermione was only capable to do certain amount and she still lacked in her field.
After day two of Severus' disappearance, Harry had nearly had a fit, and he went out to places that his pet would or could be. He went to all the potion shops, his Splitter End mansion, libraries, bookstores, Hogwarts, and so on. He hadn't slept at all and he stepped into the Three Broomsticks Inn miserably and stood in front of the owner of this place. She looked at him curiously, without showing it, and flickered her wand to prepare whatever the savior may desire to do.
"Mr. Potter, what can I do for you?"
The baggy emerald eyes glanced up at her, "I want my pet back. I want my Severus back." He felt like crying already, since one of the eyes has mustered up a falling tear upon him.
Rosmerta slowly nodded and realized that he was referring to his slave. She had never seen anyone cared for Professor Snape before or much like how Harry yearns for him. She gestured him to the seat in front of her and he took it, not caring to look like he's rude to others' insight.
"How about some firewhiskey?" She offered, set out a cup of it already.
His head shook, "Severus…" His voice finally broke, "…I failed to protect him." The tears escaped and he couldn't hold it together anymore.
"Why bother protect him when you could have him replaced?"
Harry's hand slammed on the table, "I protected him because he is our war hero! I loved him to my dying breath!" He growled.
Despite of lack of sleep, he managed to gather his strength to snap back at someone, especially the owner and she took interests of Harry's words. This was something new she hadn't heard of before.
"Why is he a war hero, Potter?" She needed to learn the juicy truth here, she could use the news to make people gossips something exciting.
His teeth gritted, "Because he was Dumbledore's spy. He fooled Voldemort to think he is on the dark side and it was only to protect me! So I could fight to live and stop him!" He hissed.
Now, this took her interests, "My, my. Severus the war hero, I had never thought the kid had it in him until now. Well, kiddo, don't give up and keep looking for him. After all, when someone steals your property is most likely to be wand suspended for four months. Of course, since he is known as a slave being, that would qualified as kidnapping. That would be a year of house arrested plus another seven months suspended of the wand." She informed the young savior.
Since Rosmerta told him the laws to know these things, Harry took it into his consideration and continued to search for his lover as he left the place dramatically. He refused to give up, not when both lives are on the lines. He was hoping that Severus and their baby are safe. And alive as well.
Harry hasn't stopped at all night and day, never thinking of himself to eat, and constantly walking to places he hasn't thought to check by. To the last library in British and Europe, he walked in attempted every chances he could take and explored the entire library. He even made sure he checked by the potions and Defense Art of Dark Art and no hint of potion master anywhere.
Harry spotted a book that almost looked like the book he had for potion in his sixth year. He pulled it out and it was…empty. It was a text book and no one had written in it. He frowned…he sat down and felt like the existence of his lover has simply vanished out of nowhere. His mind knew where the words had had been written or the comments or the new spells in this ancient book. He couldn't understand why most potions maker failed to see what they had done wrong.
He kept reading over and over and the memory invited itself to the time where Severus has asked him for the book.
"Come home, Severus. Please," Harry whimpered.
He cried himself to sleep while hugging the book closely to his chest.
…
"…on! I told you, he needs to be looked after. You know how much he cares for Professor Snape. He's only thinking of the man and nothing else!" Hermione whispered loudly enough for Ron to hear.
Harry groaned and heard their conversation. He knew they hadn't had a single clue what had gone on between them. He knew that Poppy and Eileen were the only people that knew everything. Of course, his godfather might know already by now somehow. Right now, that matter doesn't deem important about his godfather. It Severus he's searching for!
Harry groggily sat up and found his friends standing in front of him. They saw his movement and Ron held a bowl of oatmeal readily for him. Harry hasn't given time to eat in two days lately…well, three days. He couldn't understand why this had to happen or for what purposes.
"Mate, you need to eat. I know Snape is missing and all, but he wouldn't like it if he hears you died because you're an idiot to starve yourself." Ron bluntly pointed out.
Harry sighed, "I have to find him…there's no telling what…" He almost choked on his tears, but he stubbornly held it together, "He's pregnant, guys. That's why I am worried."
Hermione and Ron were surprisingly shocked to find out and had no idea the entire time. The witch immediately understood that Severus could be starving or both could be dead and that would considered as a double murder.
"Just eat, Harry. I am going to gather some help while this pinning down the floo hacker isn't down for another half an hour." She pitied at her best friend, seeing the pain and lifeless in his emerald eyes.
Harry nodded and she apparate to someone she's gathering. Ron sat down to his friend and held the bowl out for him. The savior couldn't stand much of leaving the man. He ate slowly, wishing to hug his pet instantly, and threaten anyone with the typical killer unforgivable curse for kidnapping him.
The Weasely had never seen him to the most breaking down point of his life, not even this horrible as their headmaster's fallen death. It was so much different than what he had realized when someone close to Harry would be too devastating for the savior to handle.
"We're going to find them, I promise, Harry," He pulled him close for a hug.
The savior looked up at his mate and seems to almost give up to the point it was impossible. He cried into his friend's arms miserably, the oatmeal dropped onto the floor, and Harry muttered the man's name and how he is such a failure. It literally broke Ron's heart to see him so depress in his best mate's state. For once, he had to be mature at the best effort he could do right now.
A knut for thoughts?
