Chapter 56
Harry was nervous as he sat down at the Gryffindor table. Though Snape had explained why he had to treat him mean in front of the Slytherins, he was still a bit scared. He couldn't even eat as much as he usually could and instead picked at his food as he drank his juice to wake up. He looked at his schedule with dismay; he had double potions after lunch. Harry chanced a look at the head table and saw his dad scowling like usual, and he relaxed for a moment.
Giving up on breakfast he sipped at his juice as he waited for Hermione and Ron to finish.
As they headed to DADA he nudged Ron, and gestured to the loo near them wanting to pop in before class. He trusted Professor Lupin to let him go but why take the chance?
"Mione wait for us," Ron said before heading towards the loo, with Harry in tow.
He quickly took care of business, before heading out and walking to class. Morning classes passed by quickly and it was soon lunch and Harry's nerves were fried. His stomach was churning and he didn't even attempt to eat instead drinking his ice cold juice. He allowed the sweet flavor to coat his tongue and throat and he finally relaxed. Very soon the bell rang signaling the end of lunch and they swiftly made their way to the dungeons.
As they opened the door to the potions classroom the coolness of the air and Harry's nerves alerted him to the fact that he needed to use the toilet. The fact that class was about to start and Snape rarely allowed anyone to leave was making it worse. Harry was happy to note that they could pick their partners and he automatically chose Ron, since Hermione was helping Neville.
As he set up their table Ron went to go fetch the ingredients from cabinet. Harry wiggled around on his stool as the pressure in his lower tummy seemed to intensify. He frowned before taking a chance.
"Professor may I be excused?" Harry asked with his arm raised.
"Potter class has just started; and you should have gone before. That will be 5 points from Gryffindor for not making good use of your break." Severus drawled out with a forced sneer. He cursed inwardly as he noted his Slytherins laughing at his treatment of Harry but there was nothing he could do.
Harry grimaced but started reading the directions on his parchment as Ron returned with ingredients. And hour into the class and Harry was getting frantic with desperation, he didn't even know what potion they were making and he really wanted to impress Snape again. He couldn't even concentrate on what he was doing; having no type of clue when to put the ingredients in. He had resorted to holding himself under the table with one hand and his stomach was starting to hurt. He raised his hand again, feeling hopeless.
Please sir, m-may I step out for just one m-moment?" Harry asked as his voice trembled with his obvious desperation.
"My answer is still the same as before Potter, and that's 10 more points from Gryffindor." Severus said though inside he was worried.
Harry was in a bad state he could tell by his son's tone of voice. It was almost pleading, but he knew letting him go would warrant suspicion since he had never allowed it in the past. He really hoped that the boy could wait until class was over. Severus looked at Longbottom wishing that the boy hadn't been partnered with Granger today. He could have blamed Longbottom's mishap on Harry and sent him to his office. Then he would have allowed him to use the toilet in his office.
Harry whimpered as he gnawed on his lip in desperation. He had to go! His eyes watered as his bladder felt like it was gonna explode this was so humiliating. He laid his head on the desk one arm covering his head as he stifled a sob. He was gonna wet in class in front of everyone.
Ron wasn't oblivious and though he knew the reason why Snape told Harry no; he couldn't help but frown. Harry was dying for a pee. He didn't know what do for his mate but when Harry put his head on the desk he knew he had to act fast. He grabbed an ingredient he knew would mess up the potion if added in at the wrong time and held it over their cauldron. He deliberately waited until he had caught Snape's eye and dropped it in. The potion bubbled to the top and spilled over onto the table.
"Harry watch out," Ron said, stifling a grin at Harry's bewildered expression.
"Ron what did u do?" Harry asked horrified, hoping Snape wouldn't come and check on them. How would the man react to their messed up potion? He squeezed himself tighter, just imagining the disappointment in the man's eyes.
"I don't know," Ron said quietly, where the hell was Snape? He looked around the classroom, wondering where the man was. Harry was still in a very bad way, the last thing he wanted was Harry to wet in class. He could just imagine the trauma, not to mention the Slytherins would be moment that thought had crossed his mind he jumped in fear as the man suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Disgraceful Mr. Weasley and Potter, detention tonight at 7," Severus said before banishing their cauldron away.
"Now who was the cause of this?" He asked darkly.
"Harry sir," Ron said staring directly in the man's eyes as he tried to communicate with him.
"Ron I didn't do this…," Harry started off before trailing off in horror as he looked at his lap. He had lost a spurt and his face went beet red. His eyes widened as he registered that he might just wet himself in front of everyone.
"In my office now Potter," Severus said dangerously, having seen the look. He had no doubt in his mind that Harry had leaked.
Severus was no fool, he had seen the Weasley boy dangle the root and toss it in. He knew exactly what he was doing and Severus covered up a smirk with a sneer. Who knew that he could be a sneaky as a Slytherin? He addressed the class before making his way to his office hoping Harry was ok.
The minute Harry closed the door to Snape's office he was no longer in control of his actions. He was holding himself as tight as he could all the while he was jumping up and down. He moaned quietly as he suddenly bent over at the waist the tears filling his eyes again. He sniffled loudly and looked up when the door opened.
"Oh Harry," Severus said sighing softly before closing the door behind him.
"Da...I mean Professor Snape can I please be excused now?" Harry choked out, as he felt his boxers get wetter.
"Of course you can child," Severus said quickly walking to the door behind his desk. He opened it and turned around to find Harry hobbling towards the door leading out his office.
"Where are you going child?" Severus asked in confusion.
"The toilet like you said," Harry said grimacing, did he hear wrong?
"No Harry, you can use my loo, its right here." Severus said quietly.
Harry nodded and tried to walk towards his teacher moaning as he took baby steps. He froze in the middle of the office and whimpered as his bladder jerked almost uncontrollably.
"Help me daddy," Harry said through his tears, not knowing what else to do. He bit his lip, unsure if he would get in trouble for not calling him Professor Snape, but he just had to go so bad.
"Just hold on Harry," Severus said already walking towards him.
"I'm trying, it's starting to come out," Harry whimpered softly.
"I know but you can do it," Severus said gently lifting him up and quickly carrying him to the toilet.
Setting Harry on the floor he quickly removed his robes and buckles. He winced when he felt how wet Harry's boxers were; but turned him towards the bowl.
"Relax Harry, you can go now." Severus said softly.
Harry's liquid hit the bowl forcefully as he peed, and he sighed loudly in relief. His stomach was feeling a bit sore and he rubbed it with his other hand unconsciously.
"Why didn't you go before class?" Severus asked, frowning when he saw Harry rubbing his tummy.
"I forgot," Harry said sniffling; he didn't wanna go back to class.
"Try to remember next time, and don't forget to thank Mr. Weasley." Severus said reminding himself he still needed to award points.
"I won't, I promise." Harry said as he finished up. He cringed at he slid up his wet boxers, and sniffled dejectedly.
"I got it Harry, it was an accident. Don't let this bother you." Severus reassured him before throwing a drying and cleansing charm at him.
"Thanks," Harry said softly, as he wiped his face.
"Does your stomach hurt?" Severus asked quietly.
"Yes," Harry replied shamefully.
"It's from holding it too long as you know. It may be a bit sensitive for a few hours." Severus warned.
"Ok, do I have to go back out there?" Harry asked softly.
"Yes you do Harry, class will be over in a bit." Severus said apologetically.
"I don't want to go," Harry whimpered turning his gaze to the floor.
"I know you don't child, but like I said before there are going to be a lot of things you don't want to do. You just have to suck it up and deal with it," Severus said.
"Alright, guess I'll see you in detention then," Harry said frowning at the injustice but saying nothing else.
"It's not a real detention Harry, you and Mr. Weasely will make up your potion," Severus said before hugging him briefly and walking back to the classroom.
Harry made sure his face was cleaned up before walking back into the classroom. He kept his head down feeling the stares on him as he took his seat. He was very quiet the remainder of class, keeping to himself. When class ended he grabbed his bag and rushed out the classroom, his nerves were shot and he didn't want to break down in front of everyone.
He ran to his dorm room and got dressed in his sleep clothes having no plans of leaving his bed that night. He got onto his bed and closed his curtains, and cried himself to sleep, hoping that tomorrow would be better. The fact that he slept through dinner and his 'detention' never crossed his mind, and he didn't know that he had a worried father on his hands.
Severus was worried when 7:00pm rolled around and Weasely showed up to detention by himself. As the boy took a seat in the chair he quickly flooed Minerva to check on Harry, and he sighed in relief when she told him he was asleep on his bed. His relief turned back into worry when she told him it looked like he had cried himself to sleep, and Severus promised her he would talk to him about it. As he finished the call he turned towards Ron who was looking more defiant than usual.
"Do you know why you are here Mr. Weaseley?" Severus asked tiredly.
"To either scrub cauldrons or remake the potion," Ron answered simply.
"What makes you think that you're going to redo the potion?" Severus asked quietly.
"Because I saved Harry from an embarrassing accident when you couldn't; we both know it was at the expense of the potion." Ron replied smoothly.
"Harry isn't here; he's sleeping, so this detention has been postponed until tomorrow." Severus said.
Ron nodded before making his way to the door, knowing a dismissal when he heard one. He stopped shell-shocked when he heard Snape speak once more.
"One other thing before you go, Mr. Weaseley. 30 points to Gryffindor for using your head, and thinking like a snake." Severus said quietly before he returned to his grading.
Ron grinned brightly, as he closed the door behind him. He headed back to the Gryffindor tower; he couldn't wait to tell Harry.
