Chapter 2:

"Are you alright?" Severus reached forward and wiped away a tear from her face.

"I'm fine, I just need to be alone for a while." She waved away his hand but he didn't get up.

"That's what I've said for years and it doesn't help."

"It helps me."

"Why don't you talk to me about it? That might help a bit more than sitting behind a statue."

"Just leave me alone, you're meant to be the quiet sarcastic all hating one, not like this." He got up and started to walk away, but paused and looked back round.

"I know what it's like to loose people." Severus walked on and around the corner with his trademark black robes.

Honor wiped away another tear and then got up and travelled towards her rooms. `He doesn't know how I feel, he didn't have to watch his parents die, he didn't have to watch the only two people that he ever love fade away in front of his eyes and he certainly didn't have to live with it for the rest of his life.' Nothing could ever erase that day from her head. If only she hadn't taken that sleeping potion, if only she had been able to dream that night before it happened, if she had she could have stopped it. She would have been able to see what would happen and she would have been able to save them from such painful deaths. No one could ever be able to stop that day pass through her head because that day was a day that her life came to an end.

(The flash back)

"Honor run, get away! He's here don't worry about us we can handle this." Her mother was screaming at her.

"I can't leave you, it's not fair mum! Dad I want to help!"

"Honor please just go! You're too young to be of any use against him!" a tall figure entered the room with a pale face and red eyes. Honor screamed as he pointed his wand at her mother.

"Do you actually think Aurors such as yourselves could defeat me?" he laughed and yelled the Avada Kedarva curse at her mother the room filled with her screams of pain, she slumped onto the floor unmoving. He then pointed his wand at her father and repeated the curse. She watched as her father's face contorted in pain and then fell to the floor as her mothers had. Voldemort stepped over towards her, Honor couldn't move, her feet were rooted to the floor, the shock of seeing her mother and father killed like that was making her shake. "So then girl, you've just seen the death of your mother and father. What are you going to do? Or more to the point, what am I going to do with you? You have the gift of being a Seer, a good gift. I could use people like you on my side but I can see you are not going to pass over to my side. I will leave you with this memory forever. Crucio!" Honor collapsed to the floor in pain.

Once on the chair in her classroom see started crying once more.

"He has no idea what it's like, none at all." She thought out loud.

"Yes I do." Honor jumped, she looked around and coming out of the shadows was Severus.

"So then did you see your own parents die in front of you? Are you left with that memory?" she tried to look angry through the tears but gave up.

"I am left with a memory, but not of my parents dying. I am left with the memory of my fiancé dying in front of me. I never had the love of my parents to remember but she was the only one I ever loved. So I do know how you feel."

"Voldemort?"

"Yes, it was the same for you aswell then?" Honor nodded slowly.

"After watching my parents die he put me under the Cruciatus curse." The memory played in her head again and she found herself sobbing uncontrollably. Severus rushed over and put his arms around her protectively, Honor reached her arms around his neck and wept into his black robes.

Half an hour later Dumbledore came into the room to find them still together and Honor still crying. Severus motioned Dumbledore to be quiet but Albus just smiled and left the room without saying a word. They sat in the chair together. Honor was perched on Severus lap resting her head on his shoulder and Severus lent back with his hands placed on her back.

"I'm sorry." She said quietly when she finally lifted her head off his shoulder.

"Don't worry, it's fine. At least now you've said something and you've had time to cry it out. So was this my unexpected moment?" he asked with a little smirk on his face.

"Did you expect this to happen?"

"No."

"Then it must be." She sniffed slightly.

"Do you want to be alone because I can go if you want me to?" Honor looked at his face, into the eyes that were usually devoid of any type of emotion, but they seemed different, they had a sort of caring sparkle.

"No, please stay. You were right you know."

"I was right about what?"

"When you said it helps to talk."

"I didn't say that, did I?"

"I was sitting by the statue and you asked me if I'd like to talk to you because it would help more than sitting in a corridor."

"Yes, I think I can just about remember saying that."

"When you got up and walked away where did you go?" she stared at him curiously.

"I went back to the hall quickly to tell Dumbledore not to expect you back and then I came up here, knowing that you'd come back here instead of going into the hall." She smiled at him.

"Thank you." She whispered and kissed him lightly on the cheek, this sent shivers down his spine.

"Q-quite alright, it's getting late now and I think you need a little rest. Lessons start tomorrow."

"Yes, I think I'm going to need some." Honor got up from Severus's lap, swayed slightly and collapsed on the floor. He immediately leaped from the chair and knelt down. Her hair covered her face and she looked so pale, but she was still breathing. Severus scooped her up into his arms and carried her to the hospital wing.
