Harry Potter and the Betrayal
Chapter – 14
'Bam', Severus opened his eyes, to see that someone had taken the curse for him, so it ends Peter Pettigrew, aka, Wormtail, made to stand in front of the killing curse, after the life debt forced him. His secrets having gone with him, to hell.
Harry had watched as the green light sped over to the one person he had ever truly loved, he had discovered that he didn't truly love anyone, no one had ever really loved him, in the past two weeks he had realised what it meant to be loved.
It was then he remembered that Peter Pettigrew owed him a life debt; he took his chances, and thought really, really hard 'Save Severus Snape and the debt will be repaid' he repeating said it over and over again, and it worked.
Harry and Neville could only watch in fascination as Peter Pettigrew was lifted off his feet, his pudgy face screwing up in horror, as he was swept of his feet the whole time the pudgy man shouted,
"Master, Master please help Master!" thinking his Master would help him he after all was faithful, he screamed as the killing curse hit him, instead of Severus, when it didn't hit him Severus opened him eyes and looked down in shock.
Then looked back up to see Harry slump in relief, he felt his heart rip out of his body when he saw Neville and Harry take Hands, together Neville and Harry pointed their wand's at Voldemort who was too shocked to notice, but when he did it was too late, and he was dead.
Harry and Neville together yelled "Kedavra solentram" (made it up kill soul! That's what it means) and watched as Voldemort screamed an ugly horrifying scream that nearly burst there ear drums, and five seconds later it was a dead silence that filled the area.
For about five seconds, yelling and cheering started up, getting louder and louder, celebrating the end of the war, Neville and Harry hugged each other in a brotherly hug, Severus' face fell, he knew he would never be Harry's, and wondered what made him think he would be, he was just a washed up Death Eater, was his last thought before he entered the world of pain, his arm felt like it was soaking all his powers and his life force.
Harry having let go of Neville saw Severus' face fall, frowned before he could think anymore, Severus screamed like he had never heard before, he ran over, it was then he realised that it was the Dark Mark, not know what to do sucked. Was all Harry could think his love of his life was dying and there was nothing he could do?
He held his hand over the mark, and poured all the love he felt for this man into it, it was then Severus stopped screaming, and looked at his arm in shock, there stood, pale unmarked reddish skin, and he caught Harry as he fell into a magical induced coma.
Harry having used all his magic, killing Voldemort and saving Severus, Severus gathered the young man In his arms, and apparated them both back to Hogwarts, as everyone there grieve for the loss of friends family, and people they knew.
Neville stayed there and gave Amelia Bones the paper with everyone who was in the H.A there were not just Gryffindor's there were Ravenclaw's, Huffelpuff and Slytherins too, all awarded Order Merlin second class for the help defeat of Voldemort and they wore their badges with pride.
Severus Snape was given back his homes and money's as well as orders Merlin 1st class along with Neville and Harry. As well as given a huge sum for being a spy in both wars, fifty-five million gallons.
Harry himself had been in a coma, since he collapsed on the battlefield, he was for a whole month.
"Where am I?" asked Harry as soon as he woke up,
"Ah, Harry dear, drink this it will make you feel better" and Harry did as he was told.
"How long have I been out madam Pomfrey?" asked Harry curiously.
"A whole month dear" replied madam Pomfrey, as she bustled about the empty hospital for once, people had been hurting herself just to get a glimpse of the Wizarding world's savour.
"Any one been here?" asked Harry the thought of the Weasley's being there made him sick.
"Yes, the Weasley's and Hermione Granger!" she said her lips pursed letting him know she was not happy with them being there, in the hospital wing all Harry could think was 'that makes two of us'.
"How's Se...Professor Snape ma'am?" asked Harry,
"I have not seen him since he brought you in last month, and I have been so busy I have not been able to leave my hospital wing also Dumbledore has been in here regularly wanting to know when you wake up" said Poppy.
Harry looked away, to hide his hurt, it did hurt, the one person he thought cared about him, had never once been to see him, a loan tear made its way down his face, all Harry could think was 'it was too much to think that someone would love me, I'm just a freak, my uncle was right, I am worthless' was all that he thought before he fell into a natural sleep.
The next time he woke up, Poppy gave him an energy potion. Moreover, left him to brood, Poppy thought there was defiantly something wrong, Harry always, always complained about being in the hospital wing, she really did get worried about him, she was one of the few people who liked him just as he was.
Harry himself was deep in thought, 'I guess I will go myself, it doesn't look like he wants to come anyhow, I will send him a good bye I've got a wedding to attend, Ginny and Neville are getting married, then Harry frowns 'I have exams to complete too Hm … ah well I will get them all done in days, Ginny is not getting married for three days yet."
"Madam Pomfrey, can you let me take my exams in here, and I will be in my private rooms tell the man to come up, if anyone asks I have been taken to St. Mungo's please if its Dumbledore I am still in a coma, please" begging the witch to agree with him, not mentioning Severus he knew the restraint he had would crumble if he did.
One look at his face she agreed, she hated what the others had done to him, they had stolen the last of they boy's innocence, betrayal made him grow up, that's why she agreed she knew that he didn't want anything to do with those who betrayed him.
Harry whispered "Dobby",
"Harry Potter, sir it's great seeing you Mr. Potter what's can I be doing for you sir?" he asked after giving Harry a huge rib cracking hugs.
"Hello Dobby" said Harry letting out a sigh of relief when the hyper elf let go of him, and explained what he needed,
"Can you bring me my invisibility cloak and new set of clothes and tell no one I have been up or better ok, thanks Dobby" he said as the elf was gone with a pop, five seconds later he was back with a new set of clothes and a silvery cloak which he recognised as his invisibility clock.
Harry put it on and made his way up to his room, he had just gotten into his room, when it had hit him hard, he was alone, very alone, no one cared about him, only people who wanted to use him.
Harry that night cried for the loss of his parent's, cried in anger at the people who used him, cried at the loss of his innocence when he got put in Azkaban, cried for the loss of the only person he thought who would have cared, and cried for Cedric dying as a spare, cried for the people he had killed, cried for the children who had been born and lost their Death Eater mothers and fathers, and cried bitterly that he would always be alone.
Harry for the next couple of day's finished his newts passing them flying colour's doing the best in Hogwarts history in Charms, Potion's, Defence Against the Dark Arts and Transfiguration, doing better than Tom Riddle and Albus Dumbledore. Only then did Dumbledore realise that Harry was awake, he tried to get him to talk or let him apologies, Dumbledore needed Harry back under control, he needed to blackmail him with something, thing was he had nothing to blackmail Harry with.
Harry had written to Neville and told him he would be his best man, and would turn up in time for the wedding, to see his sister and friend of, Ginny had not turned on him, but had not stuck up for him, for Harry had told her not too, he knew how much her family meant to her.
He had left a note for Severus, asking Dobby to give it to him once he was gone, but Dobby had lots to do, gave him it earlier when he was still at the wedding, after he had dressed he had apparated, walked into the church with his invisibility cloak around him, and spoke with Ginny and Neville a bit wishing them all the luck in the world.
Severus was sitting in his rooms, brooding he had never been this free in his life but, he still wanted Harry, Harry who had unwillingly taken his heart, sitting drinking scotch, Severus was surprised when a house elf 'popped' into his room.
He handed the letter to Severus and a 'pop' later, he was gone. Severus opened it and to find it a letter, small but a letter,
Sev,'m glad you are not dead, as I said back in the courtroom, I am leaving. I guess I could not leave without saying goodbye, and that I will miss you, the past two weeks have been the best in my life. I now know the difference between real and fake, the way we talked was nothing like me and Hermione and Ron spoke, and now I can't believe I fell for it for five year, anyway. I will be gone by the time you get this probably I just wanted to know that I love you, I know you are probably laughing right now but I don't care, it was obvious that you didn't return my feelings. I would rather not have you at all, than be beside you not being able to tell you how I feel, I guess I am just being selfish, I'm leaving for the Muggle world, I'm no one there. I will finally get someone to love me for me, and that's all I want, that was what you treated me like, just Harry. I guess that's how I liked it so much, I was getting to be my self, and I wish you the best of luck with your newfound freedom,
I guess I should thank you for being by my side, for the last two weeks and at the final battle, I
Yours forever,
Harry,
Severus could not breath, he shook his head determined to say he was hallucinating, he read it again, before he bolted for the potions lab, downing a sober potion, he also took a mouth cleanser potion.
He bolted for Harry's room, Harry having forgot to change the password, saying he password "Boy who lived betrayed" he wheezed to the portrait holding his stomach having ran from the dungeons to the room which Harry stayed in only to find it empty…..he was obviously to late.
