Response:Discombobulatedperson: Im glad you liked it and that your checking that story out. it's a fantastic story, better written then mine, and it kick's but. actully gave me my idea for the story line. and Im told, Constantly that Mine seems like a rip off from it but 'shrug' it's not. Im just greatly influenced by what I read.
Quillian: I get that a lot, and from a certian Standpoint, I suppose it could be, but Im betting the author for 'Faith' didn't have as much trouble getting the character's to talk. I know where I want it to go, but it won't go.'frown' or well I don't know how Im going to get there.

...Now on with the show...
Last
time :Severus jerked awake with a scream.. panic
washign through him as his wand flew to his hands an every light in
his Room came on as he glanced around. he huddled up at the top of
his bed as he breathed harshly. Just a dream, just a dream.
get ahold of yourself, your safe, your at hogwarts, he cant get you
here. The mental word's where cold comfort. Because he
knew, eventually, he'd be called back and have to go through that,
and it hurt, Hurt alot considering he knew he'd have to do it. just
so he could get a few peice's of information. shakeing his head he
bowed it and pulled his knee's to his chest. feeling like a first
year all over agian, afraid of the monster's under the bed.
Only
he knew there Were monster's under the
bed.
Decideing he wouldn't get any sleep that night, he shoved
himself from the bed and walked to the liveing room where he droped
into a chair and stared into the fire.
Inky black eye's unfocused
as he did so.
Severus Stared at
Dumbledore. "They're still going to charge him? but, it's.."
he snapped his mouth shut and glared at the headmaster. "Couldn't
you of done something I mean, Damn it Albus, the boy's only that, a
boy. he doesn't need This happening." he watched the
headmaster's face as pain seemed to cross it, only then noticeing how
old Albus looked. old and tired.He's aged so much in just the last
couple of years, what with fighting for the boy, fighting Voldemort,
but he's still a meddling old man.
"Severus, Please, Im
doing all I can for him, I promise, I will some how find a way to
protect Harry." Severus snorted spun and stalked away, he made
his way to his Slytherin House common room, and came in to find that
again most of his children where there, but for the two Potters.
"Where are they? his room again?" Blaise Nodded, not even
looking up from the book he was reading.
Starting down the hall
way Severus paused and listend at Potter's door, nothing. Knocking
hard the door swung open to reveal potter asleep in a chair and Ginny
laying in his bed asleep.. head on a book as she'd been on her
stomach , head faceing the foot of the bed. he couldn't help the
small tired smile he had on his face.
Shakeing his head he moved
to Potter's, and if that wasn't odd enough haveing two of them made
it odder, he reached out to tap Potter on the shoulder, only for the
boy's hand to snap up and grab his wrist, the Staff, only now
visibale next to him, jerked up into a standing position with no one
touching. makeing severus shiver. Alright, Draco was right, that
thing is Freaky. Potter's green eye's slowly opend as he blinked
up at the professor then. "Ohh Merlin, Im sorry Proffessor
Snape.." the boy quickly let go and scrambled to a more upright
sitting position, haveing slide down in the chair some what.
Severus
forced himself not to respond. "It's fine Potter, take a deep
breath and calm down." he watched as the boy did so, and saw the
shadow's in his eye's. he could tell, even with that mutt black and
Lupin, that the way the other's where treating him where still
wearing thin on Harry's mind and emotions. the boy had Dark circle's
under his eye's and appeared more pale then normal.
"I know
sir, Im fine. Im just sorry for grabing you, I didn't feel y ou come
into the room and when you reached out to touch me without speaking,
it brought up some bad memory's is all." Potter had finely
released him and Severus had to fight not to rub at his wrist. the
boy's touch was, odd, odder then usual. it was like magic hummned
just beneath his skin. "Of course. I apologize as well."
The boy gave no indication of his surprise but for the widening of
his eye's.
"What is it I can help you with Proffessor?"
Severus considerd. why had he come down to talk to the boy? then.
Ohh, yes, the Trial. "You do know your going on trial
correct?" the laugh the boy gave was, well, it held no amusement
in it what so ever. "Damned if I do, and Damned if I don't, and
never inbetween will I ever be." came the words, and Severus
almost flinched at the lack of emotion in the words. "Yes
proffessor I know Im on trial, just as I know Im probably not gonna
win, They'll send me to Azkaban and Voldemort will continue
Destroying those to weak to defend themselves." the green eye's
lost some of the chill in their depth's as he looked at Severus. "And
you'll be caught in the middle between light and dark."Severus
frowned as he looked at the boy. "What do you mean.?"
Potter tiped his head. "You can't have two master's Severus, and
nethir will release you, one because he consider's you like a son,
the other because your his Toy." Potter spit the last
word out like it was something foul tasteing and, Frankly, Severus
agreed with his sentiments. "and what am I to do? Would you have
me abandon those I protect?" and he did, the slytherins where
his to protect, fromt heir parent's folly, from Dumbledore's folly,
from the rest of the world. Potter gave him a Crooked grin. "No,
let them learn they should let a Sleeping Dragon Lay, because when
they wake this dragon, they will both lose. and only those caught in
the middle will be allowed freedom. for both side's have done wrong.
Dumbledore in his inability to seperate slytherin's from the dark
wizard's that Come from the house, Their are dark wizard's
from all house's, but because Salazar Slytherin saw the whole Blood
Purity was importent, they beleave they are all evil, that and
Parseltongue, are evil in their eye's. So here we are, caught in the
middle, you because your trying to make up for past deeds, me Because
a curse decided not to kill me, because magic decided to protect me
and my mother's love strengthend it." Severus swallowed as he
watched the boy, uncertian on what to say. he sounded, well, not
bitter but, resigned to the fact the wizarding world was going to
tear itself apart. "And how pray tell Potter, do you beleave all
this is to come to be? you do not know which way..." the boy's
eye's narrowed. "I do know, Fudge is in Voldemort's control, and
he will push for as fast a trial as he can get away with, I have no
proof I have not left the school grounds and with the way everyone
else is walking right into Voldemort's trap, No one beside's
slytherin's who will stand up for me. Not even The great ALBUS
Dumbledore, will stand up for me. for he cannot get his hands dirty,
ohh he can fight for me all he likes, stand beside me, but they will
see it as an old man's need to protect the last remaining Ghost
of James and Lilly potter."
Severus stared at the boy, eye's
blank for a moment. "And your so certian this will happen?"
he couldnt' help but think the boy was being to melodramatic. and
almost wanted to snarl at him but figured he'd save his anger for
later. anger was a usefull tool. "Yes, I do." was the calm
and certian reply, just then a noise from the bed made Severus spin,
he'd totally forgotten Ginny was there and blinked as the sleepy girl
sat up. "Oh, hello proffessor. Harry ..I didn't mean to fall
asleep.." Potter's voice became much warmer as he spoke to the
red head. "It's okay Ginny go ahead and get comfortable and go
back to sleep, I'll keep the nightmare's away if you will?" he
saw the red head's brown eye's warm as she put her books ont he
enarby bed side table and curl up on one side of the bed nodding
sleepily. "Yes. that'd be nice.." then she went back to
sleep, and severus had a feeling she hadn't really been awake to
begian with.
He turned back to potter and saw him starting to
stand up to move to the bedside where he sat down and placed a
calming hand on the girls four head, brushing lose red black hair
away from her face.
"Do you know she has nightmares, of when
She had the Diary of Riddle, she waks up screaming, just like me, but
when we're together we feel, safer and keep the nightmare's away from
each other. Do me a favor proffessor, stay with her when this starts,
because Im afraid she could fall through the cracks and be harmed.
after all she's now a potter, now related to me. and I don't want her
hurt because of her loyalty to me." he looked up at the other.
"And beleave me I will know if she's hurt, and not anything in
the Wizarding world will keep me from getting to the person who harms
her." the chill was back in his tone and severus had to fight
not to shiver, it was potter for crying out loud, so he had a staff,
makeing him very powerful, but that didn't mean anything. he was a
half trained boy in a battle where he had been shoved to the front of
the lines yes, but still a boy. "Nothing is going to happen
potter, your being to over dramatic for your own good. go to sleep."
boy if only he'd knowen those words were false, and the boy knew
it.
"and if it's any Consideration, you have the Slytherin's
backing you. we, unlike the Gryffindork's, don't abandon our own.
especialy if their innocent."
