A/N: Sorry I didn't get this up sooner; I have been a little busy. So very sorry my good fans. Anyway on to the story, but just to warn you this chapter is going to be a little dark, but hey it can't be all sunshine and roses all the time and I did say there is going to be slash in her and this will be the first taste. So don't kill me!!!!!
After a few minutes and a few spells, Harry and Draco were back to what they looked like before entering the garage. Harry bid his godfather good night with a quick hug. Sirius smiled softly and watched them leave as he moved to the bedroom to remember everything.
Remus, Severus, Lucius, and the boys walked out of the garage and headed to the great hall, but before they got there, the three men departed so they could enter from the side. Harry looked at Draco realizing if they were to keep this secret they couldn't be seen together, so Harry ran off before saying anything. Draco sighed knowing it was for the best. Once in the hall, Harry made his way over to his friends putting on an act like he just served a horrible detention.
"Harry, where were you all day?" Ron asked looking a little upset that his best friend hadn't been around at all.
"Cleaning out Snape's office," he muttered putting some food on his plate. Hermione gave him an odd look like she didn't believe him.
"Didn't you do that last night?" She asked taking a bite of her potatoes.
"Yes, but we didn't finish so he wanted me to finish helping him." He sighed and looked up at the staff table. "He has a lot of pictures of his school life." He said and gave a smile to Remus. "Professor Lupin or more Mr. Lupin is here." Hermione and Ron looked up and gave a small wave to their ex-DADA teacher.
"What his he doing here? And what is Malfoy's dad doing here?" Ron asked lacing his voice with venom when he noticed the older Malfoy sitting on the other side of the hooded Snape. "And more importantly, why is Snape wearing a hood?" Harry thought of something quick to say then came up with a story.
"Well, when we were cleaning I accidentally set off a firework and it burnt his face and part of his hair so he's being vain and keeping his hood up." To the boy wonder's relief his friends bought the story and asked no more questions.
Up at the staff table, Severus was in a deep conversation with Remus and Lucius about Sirius. "But how are we going to show Sirius on stage with out anyone turning him in?" Severus said trying to look like he wasn't talking to Remus at all.
"Well, no one is going to recognize you because of your full appearance. Maybe we should just alter him like that as well." Lucius said after swallowing his steak and taking another chunk.
"You've always been able to do that Sev, when you go to the garage to take his food to him you guys can work on that." Remus said looking up and over the crowed. "Jesus! We didn't tell Harry what to tell Ron and Hermione about everything!" Remus said in realization shooting a side-glance to his fellow band members.
"Harry's a smart boy, he'll think of something." Severus said pushing his plate away and standing up. "I'll see you two later, I'm going to get Sirius some food." Before Lucius and Remus could say that he hadn't even touched his food. Severus quickly made his way down to the kitchens hoping he could get Sirius a decent meal. He quickly tickled the pear and about five minutes later he came out with a huge basket of food. He went further down the hall to a part of wall, tapped it three times and walked inside to the garage. Sirius was nowhere to be seen, but there was the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. He set the basket down near one of the couches and headed into the bedroom to make it more comfortable for his old rival. He went to the broom closet where they had always kept the sheets and blankets and such, just incase one of them didn't want to be in there dorm. Most of the time it was Severus in there not wanting to face any of the Slytherins. This was always his safe haven from every one. As he grabbed a deep green sheet from the closet memories started to flow back to him.
~*~Flashback~*~
Sev worked quickly to make the bed hoping he could at least sleep, and maybe even never wake up. It had been the 5th time that week that either the Hufflepuff 4th year girls had beaten him to a pulp or his own housemates. On this night it had been both and he was beaten pretty badly. He had, but three choices. One lay there till someone found him and asked him what happened, two, go to the hospital wing and be a nark, or three, come to the garage bedroom and be safe. He had, obviously, chosen his third option, but he was starting to weaken. He figured he must have had a concussion or something and it was hard for him to breath and move. He got half way to the bed when he heard some one call his name and then nothing. When he woke up he was in the infirmary. He looked around and saw Lucius sitting by his bed.
"What happened?" Sev asked putting the palm of his hand to his forehead.
"I don't know, Sirius said he found you on the floor unconscious and barley breathing. He, James, and Remus brought you up here. That was about a week ago. What happened Sev? I was worried when you didn't come back from the library after dinner."
"I don't really remember what happened, and my head hurts way too much to decide that right now." Lucius nodded understanding his friend's pain. Some of what he said was true, but he lied about not remembering.
~*~End of Flashback~*~
Severus sighed and made his way to the bed and started to make it when he felt two arms around him.
"Stay with me tonight." Came Sirius' voice from behind him. He was still a little wet, and smelt of citrus fruits and flowers. Severus closed his eyes for a moment then quickly withdrew.
"I can't, you know that." He said going back to the closet and grabbing Sirius a blanket and some pillows.
"Severus, have you let anyone get close to you since that night?" he asked a little taken back by his actions.
"No I haven't and I don't want to. I know what will happen if I let myself become open again, you made sure I kept in this state." He finished making the bed when something caught his eye. It was a black cord necklace that had two green beads, two silver, two gold and one red surrounding the words, 'Sevy Bear'. "I thought I lost this." He said picking it up tears coming into his eyes. He loosened it a bit and pulled down the hood and slipped it on then tightened it so it was a choker.
"Sev, look I didn't mean to hurt you, I really didn't." Sirius said putting a hand on Severus' shoulder.
"Look, I agree with what you told me. You were really right, who could love a freak like me? Now if you don't mind I'm going to go."
"Sevy Bear, please stay. I'm sorry for everything I did, everything just got out of hand and I'm sorry. Please stay, just until I fall asleep, please."
A/N: *sniff* that was emotional. Anyway I'm debating here weather Sev should stay or not, what do you folks think?
