Hey here is a new story! I know I'm confusing in some things but I please ask to bear with me.
Summary: Harry has not talked since his real uncle died and that was when he was 9 years old. His aunt remarried a year later and that's when his torture began. He entered Hogwarts (which has no houses in my story) and didn't talked to anyone. But all that changed when he learnt that he was…
This story has no four houses and each student gets a room of his or her own.

Chapter ~ 17 - Year 7 (Part 4)
Severus walked down the stairs to find everyone in the living room talking in low voices. He entered and cleared his throat making everyone look up at him. "Good evening Severus" the Malfoy couple, Remus, and Sirius said as one.
"Good evening" Severus said sitting down in the couch that Harry usually slept on.
"Where did you take Harry?" Remus asked.
"To the place that Lily and James loved so much. He's become more terrified of sleeping every minute that passes" Severus said, as he made sure the wards were back up. He didn't want anything to happen to Harry while he was in the living room with the others.
"Terrified? Hasn't he been sleeping well?" Narcissa asked at once.
"Yes, but he thinks that if he sleeps when he awakes he will forget everything. It has been like that for a while, if wasn't because of the song I sing to him every night he wouldn't be sleeping at all" Severus said, sadness clear in his voice.
"Don't worry Sev, you'll see he'll remember soon" Sirius said going up to his friend and kneeling in front of him.
"I hope you are right Siri. That's the only thing he wants, to remember" Severus said putting his face in his hands. He was tired of everything. He didn't want to feel useless, and the only reason he showed a positive attitude was because Harry needed to have hope.
"He also wants to be with you" Draco said and everyone nodded in agreement. Severus said nothing to that, he knew Harry wanted to be with him…but would it be like that when he remembered everything? Will it be like that when Harry remembered that he wasn't there to protect him from Vincent Dursley?
"How are the things for the end of the month going?" Severus asked after a long silence.
"They are going perfectly well, we just need the food, but that will be done on the day," Sirius answered with a small smile. Severus nodded as Dobby appeared in the living room.
"Is something the matter Dobby?" Severus asked.
"Dinner is ready Master Severus," the small elf said.
"Thank you, we will be there in a moment," Severus replied. The elf bow and disappeared once again. "Shall we?" Severus suggested. Everyone stood as one and began to walk out of the living room, Severus and Sirius being the last ones.
"Severus?" Sirius said as Severus turned to follow the others.
"Yes Sirius?" Severus said turning to his friend.
"When James and Lily bonded you to Harry, it was because they knew that little emerald would be happy. They knew that little emerald would be safe with you, and that because of your position in the ranks of Voldemort it was dangerous…still they only thought of Harry and your happiness. Never caring that you had to be in the ranks of that man," Sirius said going up to Severus and putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Thank you, Sirius. I needed to hear that" Severus said and his friend hugged him.
~Break Line~
Harry awoke, feeling someone near his bonded. Someone that he knew wasn't dangerous, but someone that he didn't remember. Harry got off bed and walked down the hall and towards the stairs in silence. He walked down the stairs and as he got to the last step he heard Severus talk before he saw the other man hug him. Harry didn't know what he was feeling; the only thing he knew was that he needed to separate Severus from the other man.
He walked up to them and pushed the other man away from Severus. "He's mine" Harry said as he pointed his wand at the other man.
"Harry calm down love" Severus said embracing him from behind. Harry relaxed his body but didn't put his wand down. "It's okay love he's just a friend." Harry lowered his wand and grabbed Severus' hand.
"Don't go near him again" Harry said in a cold tone and walked out with Severus, pulling him towards the stairs and up to their room. Severus followed without protest, once inside their room Harry turned and hugged Severus possessively.
"I thought you were sleeping" Severus said as he began to move them in a slow pace.
"I felt someone near you…I knew he wasn't dangerous. I knew he meant no harm and didn't want to take you away…but I can't help it" Harry said as tears came down his face.
"Why are you crying love?" Severus asked softly.
"I know that no one in this house is dangerous and that I'm suppose to know them but I don't Sev. I don't remember anything anymore. I remember nothing," Harry said.
"Do you remember your surprise?" Severus asked.
"The house we went to and belonged to my parents?" Harry asked and gasped in surprise.
"I told you to mark my word you wouldn't forget the place Harry and you didn't. I know you remember everyone down stairs if you look at them carefully. If you give yourself a chance I know you will remember," Severus said. He knew he was putting to much hope, but Harry needed to try, he wanted his bonded to be okay.
"I'll try, I promise" Harry said his body relaxing completely, and letting sleep take over once again.
~Break Line~
Severus entered the dining room and everyone turned to look at him. "How is he?" Remus asked.
"Sleeping again, you will have to excuse me. I promised him to be there when he wakes up. I just came to say that Dobby will lead everyone to their rooms" Severus said.
"Very well" Remus said. Severus nodded and left with a good evening to everyone. Remus turned to look at the others, and noticed that he wasn't the only one worry about his friend. "You think things will get better tomorrow?" the werewolf asked softly.
"I don't think Remi, I know" Sirius said with a smile on his face. Everyone smiled slightly and finished eating dinner.
~Break Line~
The following four days were well; after Severus had woken up he stayed in bed until Harry woke. He then would ask several questions and Harry would answer them without hesitating. Severus would smile, kiss his forehead and both would get ready to go down stairs. The end of the month was going to be the following day, and Severus watched as his bonded got frustrated that everyone would stop talking the moment he entered a room and talk about something else.
"Sev, I want to know what's going on," Harry said to him during lunch. Everyone turned to look at them; they had decided to eat in the garden.
"Ask them Harry, they might answer" Severus said with a smile.
"I asked every single one already and no one wants to tell me" Harry whined. Severus' smile grew even more and everyone went back to talking about some game that Harry didn't understand. "You know what, if I'm not going to get any answers I'll just leave" Harry said after a while. He stood and walked to the house closing the door with a loud thud.
"I think he won't talk to anyone," Sirius said. Severus shook his head still smiling.
"Why are you smiling Severus?" Petunia asked.
"Don't you remember mum? Harry acted like that when dad supposedly forgot his seventh birthday" Dudley said than.
"Yes, but he doesn't remember that his birthday is tomorrow. Does he?" Petunia said looking at Severus.
"He remembers a lot of things now…why do you think he hasn't try to attack any of you. He knows who everyone is, but he's not sure who is who…besides the Malfoy family" Severus said standing up. "I better go check on him, I don't want him to think I have left him alone."
"Luck with that Sev. I said it once and I'll say it again, I think he won't talk to anyone" Sirius said. Severus nodded and entered the house. He walked to the library to see if his bonded was there; sure enough Harry was sitting in his chair.
"Love?" Severus asked softly.
"I don't seem to recognize them Sev, I try day after day" Harry said going up to him.
"Shh…don't worry love, you will. Time will come" Severus said. Harry said nothing to that, and just let Severus move them into a small dance.
~Break Line~
Draco looked at Severus' back, he knew his godfather. He knew that he encouraged Harry everyday, even after his small outburst. Harry had been so distressed trying to remember who was who, and when he couldn't place a face to a name he would ask Draco.
"Mum, dad what are we going to give Harry?" Draco asked suddenly making everyone turn to look at him.
"He loves to draw, so we will give him a sketchbook," Lucius said.
"Sirius and I will give him the equipment he'll need to draw in the sketchbook" Remus said.
"Ron and I will give him the book 'How to Make Your Art Come to Life' and 'The History of Magical Art'. Severus said Harry would like it" Hermione said and Ron nodded.
"Dudley and I will give him the two albums we kept his drawings in and give him a new one so he can put his new drawing there" Petunia said.
"And Sev? Does anyone know what he will give him?" Draco asked.
"That's a secret Dray" Lucius said. Draco nodded as he began to go through the stuff everyone was going to give his friend. "Why did you asked?" Lucius suddenly ask making everyone turn to look at Draco.
"I'm thinking that Ron, Hermione, Dudley, and I should make something for him, just like he made the wood appear that day. Something that would come from our hearts, I'm sure he will like it if we do that" Draco said.
"That's a great idea but what would we do?" Dudley asked.
"He likes basilisks, and he seems fond of Demantors" Draco said.
"I get the basilisks, but the Demantors?" Ron said with a shiver. Draco smiled at the questioning look on everyone's, but Hermione's, face.
"In the second task Sev put a you-know-what in the bag, and two creatures came out when Harry opened his hand" Draco said.
"A you-know-what?" Dudley and Petunia asked confuse.
"A you-know-what are magical creatures that convert into the one thing that you are so fond of, or something that you like so much over anything. It can be anything…but never a person," Draco explain. The two Dursleys nodded in understanding.
"So what will we make him?" Ron asked anxiously. Draco smiled than as an idea came to his mind. He knew that his friend was going to like it, and knew that his friends would help him get it. Now he only need to tell Severus and see if it was okay, and if Harry would really like it.
"I think I know" Draco said and motion the other three near him, making the adults look at him in question.
~Break Line~
The following day Harry could hear everyone walking around the house. In and out, but he wasn't able to see what was going on, Severus had awake at his side, as every day but hadn't stayed in the room with him. He had said he needed to make sure no one destroyed his home as they prepared everything. Harry had asked what but Severus had simply smile and kiss his forehead before leaving.
'I shouldn't have promise him I wouldn't walk out of this room' Harry thought as he looked out the window. He could see everyone moving from one place to an other, but he couldn't see what they were doing. "Dobby" Harry called softly. The small elf appeared in front of him in mare seconds.
"Has Master Harry call Dobby?" the small elf asked.
"Yes, can you please call Sev or Dray. I'm getting bored in here," Harry said sitting on the bed. The small elf went up to him and smile.
"I'll call and see what they say. Don't worry Master Harry" the small elf said and disappeared. Harry smiled and waited in the room. He lied down and closed his eyes for a moment.
~Break Line~
Severus and Draco were currently in the library talking about the present Draco, Hermione, Ron, and Dudley wanted to give Harry when Dobby appeared. "Is something the matter Dobby?" Severus asked at once. The small elf hadn't interrupted him at all and he was wondering how Harry was doing but because he was going back and forth he wasn't able to check on his bonded.
"Master Harry is bored and asked if Master Draco or Master Severus could go with him," Dobby said.
"Tell him we both will be up in a moment" Severus said. The small elf nodded and disappeared at once. "I knew he wasn't going to be able to break his promise."
"Yes, but what if he asks Dobby?" Draco said as both walked out of the study.
"Dobby won't say anything. He knows its a surprise, and that he can't tell Harry anything until Harry is able to see for himself" Severus said. Draco nodded, and both walked up the stairs and to Severus and Harrys room. Severus entered and found Harry lying on the bed, with Dobby at his side. "Harry?" Severus asked softly.
"Master Harry has fallen asleep" Dobby said looking at the two wizards at the door.
"It's okay Dobby, please go finish the things in the kitchen" Severus said. The small elf disappeared and he walked to the bed. Draco right behind him, Severus sat on the bed and looked at his bonded.
"He looks like an angel when he sleeps" Draco said from the end of the bed.
"He's an angel Dray, he's the only one that keeps me going in this life. He's the only one that can make me happy" Severus said as he put a piece of hair behind Harrys ear.
"Yes, he's the only one that can make everyone's day bright. He's our little hero" Draco said. Severus looked at his godson for a moment.
"I know he will like what you want to bring, so you are welcome to do so…and you can invite your girlfriend if you want" Severus said.
"How-"
"Harry told me the day after you told him, and when I asked him who had told him. He said it had been you while you explained things about his life" Severus said.
"Oh" was all Draco was able to say. Severus smiled and kissed Harrys forehead, putting his young bonded in the middle of the bed so he wouldn't fall. "I'll be going than" the young blond said. Severus nodded and Draco left, the older man summoned a quill and parchment and wrote a note to Harry before leaving the room.
~Break Line~
Harry woke up around five in the afternoon. He hadn't meant to fall asleep after he sent Dobby to call Severus or Draco. Harry looked around and noticed that Severus was nowhere in sight. Harry stood ready to leave the room but something caught his attention.
' Dear Harry,
If you are reading this it is because you have woken up my little miracle. I know that you will still remember your promise so I won't tell you what you promised me. I'll be back in the room at six with something for you to wear so please take a shower and get in something comfortable. I promise to be back on time.
With Love,
Severus'
Harry smiled at the note as he remembered the promise he had made. He grabbed a pair of pants and walked to the bathroom to take a shower. He didn't know what was going on down stairs, but he did know that he remembered who they were…even when he still couldn't place a name to each face that wasn't Severus or the Malfoy family.
~Break Line~
"Is everything ready?" Severus asked five minutes before six.
"Yes everything is ready" Sirius said as he was finishing his checklist. "Wait…"
"What?" Severus asked looking at his friend.
"We are missing your present on the table," Sirius said.
"I can't put my present because he will open it before anything can start" Severus said.
"Well than, everything is ready" Sirius said.
"Good, everyone should go get ready" Severus said walking to the door.
"We are ready," everyone said. Severus looked at them and shook his head slightly before walking up the stairs and to his and Harry's room. He entered the room as the clock struck six o'clock.
"You are on time," Harry said looking up at him from the bed where he was reading a book.
"I promised" Severus said closing the door and walking to his young bonded. "What are you reading?"
"The Basilisks and Demantors History" Harry said smiling.
"You smell good" Severus said kissing Harry's forehead. Harry looked up at him and their lips met. They kissed for a moment before Severus separated from him. "I must get ready, oh…and here" Severus said unshrinking dark emerald robes.
"For me?" Harry asked.
"Yes love, for you" Severus said and kissed his young bonded on the lips one more time before he went to the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out Harry was standing by the window. "What are you doing there love?" Severus asked going behind him and embracing him.
"Looking how the sun sets, it's so beautiful," Harry said leaning against Severus. Both wizards watched as the sun set in the horizon. As the last ray went down, the clock struck six thirty.
"It's time for you to see what has been going on in the house," Severus said. Harry looked at him and smile. "You will have to cover your eyes."
"Do I have to?" Harry whined softly his smile fading.
"Yes, my little miracle" Severus said. Harry smiled at the nickname that Severus had written down.
"Okay" Harry said with a sigh. Severus smiled and put his hands over Harrys eyes and guided his young bonded out of the room and down the stairs carefully.
~Break Line~
Harry felt as the air touch his face, he didn't know what was going on but he trusted Severus. He knew that whatever had been going on in the house was for him. "Ready?" Severus asked him in his ear.
"Yes" Harry said. He felt Severus hands move away from his face but he still didn't open his eyes.
"You can open your eyes now" Severus said. Harry did so and gasped at the scene in front of him. The garden was decorated with white roses; there was a big table in the middle, and a big cake on another table. Everything looked plain beautiful, Harry felt tears make their way down his face as memories forgotten to him came to his mind. From his childhood to his worst ones to ones with Severus. The times his bonded would sing to him to sleep, and would talk about his family as he slept in hopes he would remember.
Harry turned around and look at Severus. The older man was looking down at him; his black eyes were both happy and worried. "Thank you, for this, for everything."
"Harry?" Severus asked softly so no one would hear.
"I remember everything" Harry said and hugged Severus. The older man hugged his young bonded and looked at everyone else with a small smile on his face. One that was brighter than ever, one that everyone recognized at once.
"I love you my little miracle" Severus said to Harry as the young man looked up at him.
"I love you my protector" Harry said and got on his tiptoes and kissed Severus. The older man returned the kiss with all the love and care he had for the young man in his arms. Everyone begin to clap making the couple separate.
"Happy seventeen birthday!" Everyone said as one. Draco stepped forward and extended a hand to Harry in silence.
"You remembered" Harry said with a smile as he grabbed Draco's extended hand in acceptance.
"How can I forget how we became friends?" Draco said smiling.
"…you remembered my birthday too" Harry said.
"How can anyone forget our little miracle's birthday" Draco said loud enough for everyone to hear. Harrys smile grew as new tears came. "Why are you crying Harry?"
"Because I'm happy" Harry said and let Draco hugged him. It felt weird, the only ones that had ever hugged him was his family…and Severus. No one else had ever hugged him, and it felt good to have a friend to count on. "I still count on you no matter what, right?"
"Even if I'm dead I'll come here and help you" Draco said backing away.
"Thanks. Thank you everyone" Harry said as Petunia and Dudley came forward and hugged him.
~Break Line~
Severus watch as Harry smiled at everyone. Albus and Minerva had got there half an hour later and at Harry's greetings they looked at him in question before Harry told them he remembered everything. Severus had been so scared of what Harry was going to do once he remembered and now that his young bonded had stayed with him, he knew that it was time to give him his second present.
"Okay, it's time to open presents" Severus said after everyone had sung to Harry and everyone was in the living room. He watched as everyone tried to get to Harry first, only making him go behind Severus. "Why don't you begin with your friends present" Severus suggested looking at Harry. At Harrys nod everyone settled down on the couches around.
"We made this yesterday, but we had to tell Uncle Sev before we could bring it in" Draco said as he stepped with the other three in front of Harry. Severus watch as the four gave the gift to Harry.
"What is it?" Harry asked as he turned it around in his hands and Severus was sure that it was to see if there was something wrong with it.
"Open it" the four said at the same time. Harry nodded and unwrap the box, his eyes widened in surprise at the small musical box in front of him. He opened it, and Severus recognized the melody at once. It was the one that he always sang to Harry, when they danced in the living room.
"It's beautiful, thank you," Harry said with a smile. He looked at each design, and under each was the name of the one that had designed it. Dudley's design was in front, it was a silver wolf. Draco's design was on the right his was a basilisk, then it was Hermione's on the back, hers was a white falcon. Harry smiled at that picture; the falcon was one of his many Patronouses. Ron's was on the left; his was a stag and a dove looking at each other.
"We hope you like it" Hermione said.
"I love it, thank you," Harry said looking at each of his friends and cousin. Next was the present of the Malfoy family. Harry opened it and gasped at the sketchbook in front of him. It was about the size of a drawing table. The cover was emerald just like his eyes, and in the right corner was the initials: H.J.P.S.: "Thank you, it's beautiful."
"We didn't know what last name to choose so we put both Potter and Snape" Lucius said.
"He's Potter-Snape" Severus said smiling.
"And you?" Harry asked.
"I'm just Snape, love" the older man said.
"Why?" Harry asked.
"Because under all the laws if my bonded is younger than me than I'm not to have his or her last name, and the younger of the two must have both, his bonded and his parents', last name" Severus said.
"I don't remember reading that" Harry said. Everyone watch as his eyes took a far away look, as if he was looking for some information in his mind.
"Love?" Severus asked after while.
"I remember now, it's the 17th law, in all the creatures law book," Harry said looking at Severus. The older wizard just smiled and kissed his forehead. Next was Sirius and Remus, Harry opened the present and thanked them for all the material he was going to use in order to draw in his sketchbook. Next was Ron and Hermione, Harry unwrapped their present and smiled at the titles. He had being wanting to get the books for a while now, and now he had them. "Thank you guys" Harry said.
"Your welcome" Hermione said. Next was Petunia and Dudley, Harry took time opening that present and when he saw what it was he looked at the albums that had things inside already; he look at each of his drawings for a moment. He had stopped drawing after his real uncle's death, and begun when he entered school. It was more to make something for Severus even when he didn't know at the time.
"Thank you for bringing them to me" Harry said.
"We knew you would want to keep them dear," Petunia said smiling. Harry smiled at her as she kissed his forehead. Next in line was the small elf; Harry hadn't expected that.
"Dobby was given two friendship charms, and he wants Master Harry to have the other" the small elf said. Severus smiled at that; he wanted something special for his small elf. He had been with Harry a lot, helping in anything Harry had needed. He watched as the small elf opened his boney hand to reveal a small silver elf charm. Harry took it in his hands.
"This is so beautiful Dobby, thank you" Harry said and hugged the small elf.
"Dobby has the human charm" Dobby said when Harry let him go and showed Harry the chain around his neck.
"It really is beautiful Dobby, thank you my little friend" Harry said. The small elf beamed before Albus and Minerva's turned came. "Professors?"
"This is for you, we are sure it will help you in your last year" Minerva said. Harry grabbed the two boxes and opened Minerva's fist. It was a set of quills and inkbottles. The ink was in three different colors, black, blue, and emerald green. Harry than opened Albus present to find two books. He picked them up and read the titles out loud.
"'The History of Hogwarts of Witchcraft and Wizardy and the Four Founders,' and 'The History of the Forbidden Forest,'' Harry looked up at his professors. "Thank you, both of you," he said smiling.
"We are glad that you like it" Albus said his smile reaching his eyes. Severus' turned finally came and everyone waited as Harry put the last presents aside. Severus stood and enlarged a box in his hand.
