Okay, first of all, I know that it has been forever since I last updated, but whatever. I just haven't been feeling very inspired lately. Hopefully this gets more reviews this time- I noticed last time that, at least on my computer, the page didn't seem to want to show new stories unless you pressed go when you got to it…

I'm babbling on once again, but whatever. Let's just hope that this is better than the first chapter and get on with the story, right? Right.

Disclaimer: if you want one, go back to the last chapter! Also- this story is now rated PG-13 because PG is no longer an appropriate rating (at least for this chapter and the next one)

For the Love of Snape: chapter 2!

Severus Snape was rushing up to the headmaster's office. So wrapped up in trying to keep his head and not turn back towards the cold comfort he knew so well, he didn't even notice it when he passed the very person he was headed to see, heading to the dungeons to talk to him. Luckily, Dumbledore wasn't as ignorant to his surroundings as Snape was at the moment, and called out to him.

"Severus!"

Snape paused, looking back at the person he had just walked past without even realizing it. How could he have been so ignorant to not even notice when someone walked by him?

"Argh! I was just coming to see you, Headmaster."

"And I you. I'm afraid there has been a turn of events, and there is something I need to discuss with you. Shall we go down to your chambers?"

Snape nodded, leading the way back to the dungeons.

"So, what has happened that is important enough for you to risk coming down here?" Snape asked, knowing that Dumbledore had steered clear of the dungeons since the time when Severus had just gotten back from a death eater meeting and had put him under the full body-bind curse before promptly passing out, leaving him stuck there until he woke up- a full two days later.

"I still remember that incident, but, yes, something has happened. Perhaps you should sit down for this?" said Dumbledore. Now Snape knew it was bad, very bad, and took his advice.

"What is it? Has Voldemort found out about me? Or… has he found out where Potter is? Or…"

"No," Dumbledore said, cutting him off mid-sentence, "It does have to do with Potter, though. Apparently, he doesn't like the way his life is going, and tried to change it today."

"What do you mean? He…he hasn't, has he?"

"I'm afraid so, Severus," Dumbledore answered gravely, "Harry Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived, has attempted to commit suicide."

"Attempted? You mean, it didn't work?" Snape asked, holding his breath. Why would the boy do that? Surely he hadn't actually thought that Cedric Diggory's death was his fault, had he?

"No, but it almost did. I had Remus Lupin go check on him after getting letters from both Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger saying that they were worried about him. Apparently, he hasn't been answering his letters."

"Where is he now?"

"Remus brought him in to the hospital wing about half an hour ago, when I went to look for you…Severus, wait!" he yelled to Snape, who was already at the door.

He paused to look back at Dumbledore and said, "I am going to go visit my nephew, and there is nothing you can do to stop me." With that, he walked out the door. Dumbledore did nothing to try to stop him this time- instead, he just smiled, knowing that the other man didn't even realize how much he loved the boy. Noticing that Severus had accidentally dropped his wand on the couch in his haste to check on Harry, he shook his head and chuckled a little to himself. He'll never change! He thought as he picked it up and walked over to the door, making sure nothing else had been left behind. He opened the door to find a very irritable Snape, looking for his wand.

"You forgot this," he said as Snape rolled his eyes and took his wand back from him. Yep, he'll never change.

A/N: I actually finished the chapter! Yay! Tell me what you think- meaning: please review! I would also like to thank my only reviewer, Schwester Aurelia. It's funny, I had you on my favorite authors list, and then you reviewed my story. Though, that might be the reason…
