A few more days passed and it was now time to get Severus's shot, he will be five years old and he was fighting it all the way
" I DON'T WANT THE SHOT! I DON'T WANT THE SHOT! I DON'T WANT THE SHOT!" Severus screamed in their rooms and down the corridors, luckily Harry put up a silencing charm or people would gawk at them
" Severus you need to have the shot so you can be older" Harry said
" I DON'T WANT THE SHOT" Severus screamed
Harry didn't want Severus to have the shot either, but for different reasons or so he thought
" Sev you had the shot before, why is this time different?" Harry asked
" Because the shot after this will be different and it'll hurt more" Severus said with tears in his eyes but he was thinking, " Because the next shot ages me to eleven and the next to seventeen and the next to my regular age... things will have to go back to normal"
" You'll be fine Sev, I'll be with you all the way" Harry said patting Severus on the back
" Promise?" Severus asked
" I promise" Harry said and thought, " Even when he's seventeen if he wants me to"
Severus relaxed at Harry's promise and they headed up to the Hospital Wing in silence, both in their own thoughts
" Good morning you two? How are you on this fine morning?" Madame Pomfrey asked
" Fine Poppy... just get it over with" Severus said hugging his Hissy
Pomfrey nodded and went in the back to get the shot
Harry hugged Severus a little harder for comfort when Pomfrey brought the shot in
As usual Pomfrey gave Severus the shot and a black bandage and Severus aged to five, Harry could tell because he got slightly heavier
" Ok you need to come back next at the end of the school year" Pomfrey said
" And I'll be eleven" Severus said with a sigh
" Yes, you will, won't that be exciting?" Pomfrey asked
Severus shrugged
The silence was awkward
" Hmm, well I better... restock the potions for the day, I'll see you two later" Pomfrey said
Harry thanked Pomfrey and they headed out of the Hospital Wing, they still had a couple more days of Easter Break
" So Sev what do you want to do?" Harry asked
Severus's eyes lit up, " Can we go flying?"
Harry smiled, " Now how did I know you were going to ask that?"
Severus grinned
" Yah ok lets go flying" Harry said and they raced back up to their rooms, Severus won
" I win" Severus said with a grin
" You win" Harry said then said, " Snitch"
The portrait opened up and they went inside to get their brooms
" Lets play with the snitch today" Severus said
" Hmm, good idea" Harry said, " I can use the practice"
They grabbed their brooms and the snitch and Harry made Severus wear a jacket since it was still a little chilly and they were going to be in the air
They first headed down to the kitchens to have the House elves make them sandwiches for lunch since they mostly would be riding their brooms all day
They went outside and to the Quidditch Pitch and Harry threw the snitch up in the air and they got on their brooms and flew
Harry made it fun, they played catch the snitch about ten times and he let Severus win five of them, he was glad Severus was having fun and was smiling, he looked like he really enjoyed being a kid. They didn't stop for lunch, they just slowed down on their brooms and ate in the air which they both really liked because it was exciting then they went back to flying and looking for the snitch
The two didn't come inside until it was sunset and close to dinner time
" So did you have fun today?" Harry asked carrying Severus back in because he was tired
Severus nodded with a grin
" Lets eat in our rooms tonight" Harry said
" Ok Harry" Severus said tiredly
When they got to their rooms Harry called Dobby and asked for soup and sandwiches
Severus ate all his sandwich and half his soup, he was almost asleep in the other half
Harry chuckled and got Severus's hair out of the soup and picked him up and carried him to his room
" What about a bath?" Severus asked
" You'll have one tomorrow morning, you were almost sleeping in your soup, lets just get you to bed" Harry said and he began undressing Severus
" I can dress myself" Severus said
" Oh... ok, I'll just help" Harry said
It turns out Severus didn't need Harry's help, even though Sev was tired
" I can give myself a bath too, you don't need to bathe me anymore" Severus said
" Ok Sev" Harry said tucking Severus in, " So what story do you want?"
" I... don't... want... a... story... tonight" Severus said while yawning
" Ok" Harry said and he gave Sev Hissy and kissed his forehead, " Goodnight"
" Good night" Severus said and turned over on his side
It turned out that Severus could dress himself and bathe himself and he didn't want a story anymore, Harry was very confused with not wanting the story because a lot of five year olds liked having stories read before bed. Severus didn't give up flying though, but he made sure Draco was at least with them when they went flying
Classes were finally back in session and Professor Slughorn decided Severus was old enough to participate in the lesson
Severus was very excited that he got to teach the sixth year Gryffindor and Slytherin class
Everybody who wasn't close to Severus thought it was funny that he was teaching in a five year old's body and started laughing
Severus took away fifteen points away from Gryffindor and even Slytherin for their cheek, and this time... it worked
Severus smirked at that and continued the lesson
Severus became Professor Snape in the classroom again, nobody liked the amount of homework Professor Snape gave, especially Harry, Ron and Draco
" Sev, we were going to go flying this weekend, now we can't" Ron complained after Potions on Friday
" Do your homework tonight and don't put it off until tomorrow" Severus said and rolled his eyes, " And Harry don't do yours when I'm in bed, I want to look yours over"
Harry sighed, " Ok"
" Two feet is a lot of work" Ron complained
Severus smirked evilly, " You want me to make it four especially for you?"
Ron glared, " No"
" Then stop complaining" Severus said, " You can find everything in your book, or if need be, the library"
Ron sighed, " Yes sir"
Severus smirked, he liked being called sir
After classes Severus made Harry go to the rooms and get started on all his homework
" Why can't I do this after dinner?" Harry asked
" Because you'll never get done before I have to go to bed, now no talking and more looking things up" Severus commanded
Harry sighed and rolled his eyes
" No rolling eyes" Severus said
It took Harry past dinner to get to a spot that Severus liked before he could have dinner in their rooms
" After dinner you need to finish your homework" Severus said, " I want to check your potions before bedtime"
" You told me that three times Sev" Harry said
" None of your cheek or I'll take points away" Severus warned
Harry has had enough
" Did you forget who's the guardian and who's the kid?" Harry asked
" No, but did you forget who's the teacher?" Severus asked
" Technically Professor Slughorn is still the teacher" Harry said, " You're still five"
" And I've been teaching your class for a week now" Severus said, " So that makes me your teacher"
" So you take points away from Slytherin now? Are you going to keep on doing that or was that a one time deal?" Harry asked
" A one time deal, they made me mad" Severus said, " Once I'm aged to eleven, I'm going to the Slytherin dungeons"
" Once you're aged to eleven, it's summer and you can't be alone when you're eleven" Harry said
" Oh yah? Watch me" Severus said
" Fine, we'll just ask Dumbledore" Harry said, " But I bet he'll make you stay with me until you're at least seventeen"
" We'll just see about that Potter" Severus said and he ran to his room and shut the door
Harry was shocked that Severus just called him Potter, he hasn't done that... well for a long time
Harry finished his homework and went to check on Severus, he knocked on Sev's door but didn't get an answer
" Severus are you ok?" Harry asked
" I'm fine, leave me alone" Severus answered
Harry could tell that Severus was almost to tears
Harry opened the door and Severus looked up from the book he was reading and glared, " What part of leave me alone don't you understand?"
Harry sighed, " Sev, I don't think we should go to bed mad at each other"
" There's nothing wrong with being mad at each other" Severus said
" It might give you nightmares" Harry said
" Unlike you, I occlude my mind, so I don't have nightmares" Severus said
Harry was about to say something
" And if you count those nightmares I had when I was a baby, I couldn't occlude then, they don't count, now get out of my room Potter... and stop calling me Sev"
" Fine Severus, but you better get to bed or you'll be even more of a git then you are now" Harry said and he walked out of the room and shut the door
