A/n: Yes, I know. It has been awhile since I updated, but I have an excuse.
I was into this suicide, angst mood, so I wrote a bunch of fics involving
that. Two are Yu-Gi-Oh, one DBZ, and one is Harry Potter. I have one that
is Gundam Wing, but it isn't finished being typed. If you ever want to
chat, I'm on AIM under DerangedAnimeFan or on MSN under my e-mail address
in my profile.
If you want to be notified of updates, you can put me on author alert or join my yahoo group. A link can be found in my profile in the top part of the profile.
Warnings: Slash and other things. Setting up for future chapters.
Disclaimer: I only own part of the plot and nothing else, I guess.

Remus could here voices telling him he'll be all right, but 'how could he believe the voices? He would never be all right. He was dying and his friends thought he had betrayed them. Lily would still have been alive if he hadn't been so weak he couldn't fight against a simple potion.'
'It was his fault she was dead. His fault that Harry only had one parent now. His fault that those things had gone wrong. It was his entire fault. Nothing would be right with the world. More than just him self had been affected. The lives, or non-lives, of three people had been effected by his weakness.'
He tried not to listen to the voices. 'They had to be another trick by Malfoy.' But the voices were insidious. They repeated the same thing over and over again. "He was safe; it was time to come out now. No one was going to hurt him. Everything was going to be fine."
Remus blinked his eyes, finally coming back to reality. It was James and Severus and Sirius who had been repeating the sentences over and over again. He looked beyond their heads to see a screen floating that showed him and what had been done to him by Malfoy.
Severus sent the other two out of the room when Remus started to turn red with humiliation. "Why didn't you say anything? Why didn't you try to get help, Remus?"
Remus nearly didn't answer. He didn't want to think about what had been done to him. Finally he spoke, "I tried, but I couldn't." He looked at the screen that had just replayed the part where Malfoy had given him the potion and told him the effects. "That is why Sev, I couldn't fight against that potion. I tried numerous times, but it never worked."
Dumbledore copied the part that showed Malfoy giving you the potion. The Minister of Magic forced Malfoy to drink Veristum. He has been placed in Azkaban for life for willful use of Dark Magic and of all three unforgivable curses."
Remus frowned in thought, "What about Narcissa and little Draco?"
"Narcissa isn't capable of taking care of any one, not even herself. Malfoy placed her under the pain curse until he drove her insane, because she tried to leave Malfoy Manor with little Draco," Severus replied to the anxious were-wolf.
"Than who is taking care of Draco?"
"At the moment, James is. I pity the child; my brother isn't exactly the best person to care for a child. "
"Severus, shame on you. Just because James left the eggs to boil to long and they exploded doesn't mean that he is a bad caregiver. It just means he can't cook," Remus said with a faint smile.
Severus smiled gently as Remus started to fall back asleep, his body still worn out from his fever. He had accomplished his goal and had driven out the memories of Malfoy, even if only for a small fraction of time.
Severus stood up from the chair next to Remus' bedside and walked over to Harry's crib. He spoke softly to the child, who was blinking his sleep- filled eyes at Severus. "I promise, little one, that I will always take care of you, and that nothing bad will ever harm you again. You'll have everything you ever want or need, and James, Sirius, Remus, and I will take care of you until you no longer need us to care for you."
Harry blinked one last time before he fell asleep. Severus watched as harry rolled onto his stomach and stuck a small thumb into his mouth. He looked adorable, and carefree, as if nothing had ever happened to him. To Them. As if Lily had never died, and Peter had never betrayed them.
He turned to go to his hospital bed and turned his back to the door. He heard the words that whispered through the air, "Stupefy," and fell to the ground, stiff. He was rolled onto his back, to stare in the face of Wormtail. Severus tried to fight the charm, but it didn't work. He watched as Wormtail brought the flat of a sword to his head, and than all was dark.
