Hey Everyone. Sorry that it's taking me so long to update, but I am doing a lot better
updating this story then any other that I have written. ^_^. At least I have updated
weekly. It might be longer next time because my beta is not going to have email
access. Just wanted to let you know. I hope everyone likes this chapter. Have fun!
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any of the songs.

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance,
for a break that would make it okay.
There's always some reason
to feel not good enough,
and it's hard, at the end of the day.
I need some distraction,
Oh, beautiful release.
Memories seep from my veins.
Let me be empty,
Oh, and weightless,
And maybe I'll find some peace tonight.
In the arms of the angel,
fly away from here,
from this dark, cold hotel room,
and the endlessness that you feel.
You are pulled from the wreckage,
Of your silent reverie.
You're in the arms of the angel,
may you find some comfort here.
So tired of the straight line,
and everywhere you turn,
there's vultures and thieves at your back.
The storm keeps on twisting.
Keep on building the lies
that you make up for all that you lack.
Don't make no difference,
escape one last time.
It's easier to believe in this sweet madness,
Oh, this glorious sadness,
that brings me to my knees.
In the arms of the angel,
fly away from here,
from this dark, cold hotel room,
and the endlessness that you feel.
You are pulled from the wreckage,
Of your silent reverie.
You're in the arms of the angel,
may you find some comfort here.
You're in the arms of the angel,
may you find some comfort here.

Severus apparated as close as he could to Hogwarts. He ran into the school
and started to shout for help. He was so distressed that he did not even use a spell to
amplify his voice. He used every short cut he knew to get to the infirmary. He made it
up there in record time.
Poppy, who was there to help Severus after meetings with Voldemort, was
alerted to the shouting and was standing at the ready. She was astonished to see
Severus almost flying at her as he rushed in with a small body in his arms. She was
shocked that Severus had tears running down his face. She moved quickly to the
bed to see what she could do.
When she looked down on the child that was laid before her, she gasped in
horror. The boy was in bad shape. His arm and leg were at unnatural angles and his
face was covered in bruises and dried blood. She quickly composed herself as much
as possible, even though tears flowed freely down her face. She cast a few spells on
the boy. A quick cleaning spell to remove the blood, one to remove his clothes, and
one to list what was wrong.
After getting the list of what was wrong, she gasped at the name on the
paper, her eyes even wider then before. She quickly scanned the boy's forehead
and his identity was confirmed. Her face scrunched up and she took a shuddering
breath. She set his arm and leg and cast a numbing and sleeping spell on him. This
all took about a minute.
She turned towards Severus, to see that the man was distraught. His eyes
never left Harry. He was hovering as close as he could without getting in the way.
"Severus, what happened to him? Was it Death Eaters?" Poppy asked.
Severus slowly shook his head and barely whispered, "No, I wish it had been.
It was his family!" He looked at Poppy and she could see horror, confusion,
sadness, anger, and hurt in his eyes. She could understand all of those emotions.
How could anyone's family hurt such a sweet boy, who desperately needed love?
Her heart broke and a ragged sob broke through her mouth.
The door to the infirmary was thrown over and Albus stormed in, worry in his
face. He halted in his step when he saw the small body laying on a bed. He then
quickly walked over to the bed and gasped as his suspicions were confirmed. He
looked up in horror at Severus.
"Oh, Merlin, what happened? How?" he whispered.
Severus glanced up and red filled his vision. "How could you?! We all told
you that he should not have been left with those muggles, but you never
listened! After what Minerva told us she had witnessed before you dropped
him off, we knew that something would go wrong! Why, Albus, why?" Severus's
tirade ended in sobs. He dropped his head onto the bed and continued to sob out
his anger and frustration.
Albus had tears running down his face. He knew there was nothing he could
do. Severus was justified at feeling anger, even if at the time, there was nothing
Albus could have done. The Dursly's where the only place for him to go. He thought
he had provided protection with Mrs. Figg there to keep an eye on things, but she
had never reported abuse. He did not know what was going on
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harry was in bliss. He was floating and had not a care in the world. He had
a small smile on his face. He could feel a soft warm breeze across his face. The perfume
of wild flowers met his nose. He was the happiest that he could remember being. Here,
nothing could hurt him, even though he don't remember why that was important. On the
wind, he heard a voice.
"Harry," a soft, feminine voice called out in a whisper.
Harry opened his eyes and saw that he was in a field of wild flowers. He
looked around for the voice. In the distance, he saw a woman in long, flowing, white
robes with long red hair to her waist. Her arms were held wide, just waiting for him to
embrace her. A feeling of pure joy and bliss filled him. He knew this woman.
"Mum!" he cried joyfully. He jumped up and ran into her waiting arms. Her
arms went around him and he felt safe. He started to cry, the emotions overwhelming
him. The woman was also crying. She rained kisses on the top of his head.
"Oh, my sweet baby, I am so sorry. I never wanted to leave you. Oh, baby,
you're safe now. You're safe," She crooned to him softly. After crying out everything in
him, Harry looked up into emerald eyes and smiled.
"Mum, I have missed you so much. I love you, mum," he told her for the
first time, needing desperately to say it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unnoticed by Severus, who was too busy crying, and Poppy, who was looking
for numbing potions, the boy in the bed smiled very faintly, his face relaxed and
peaceful.

Athenakitty- We will see ::grins::
Kitty- ::chuckles:: I probably will, but not promising anything.
RivenKnight- ::chuckles:: you will have to wait and find out! lol.
Lei Dumbledore- Sorry about that. I wish I could write longer chapters, but I can't. It
takes me a few hours just to write the small chapters and if I wrote longer ones, I don't
think I would ever post them. Thank you, though.
Selua- ::chuckles:: ok.
jliles- Heh. Thanks. We will see. I haven't decided what I am going to do with the
Dursly's quite yet, but they will be taken care off. ^_^
Kitala- ::smiles:: Thank you. He should find out in a couple of chapters, hopefully.
Kayla Summers- Woohoo, #50! Thank you
Tempest- ::big smiles:: Thank you so much! I am glad I didn't turn you off
"Snape-is-Harry's-dad" fics. And I am glad that you like my music. Right now,
though, I am having difficulty picking songs. If you have any suggestions, please
tell me. Most of the songs that I have left have to do with significant others, which
isn't quite appropriate for a father/son relationship. lol.
Katy999- ::chuckles:: At least where the Dursly's are concerned.
Belladonna- ::chuckles:: I am really trying for this story.
Tigergirl- ::Big Grin:: Thank you! I really try to be descriptive. That's what takes
the longest to do in writing this story.
Fnxmoon- ::chuckles:: Thank you. I am glad you like my story. And they will pay,
have no worries! heh heh. I also dedicated this chapter to you too, since you said
you wished it and it's in my power to do so. ^_^
Sela- ::Blushes:: wow! Thank you, you really made my day. I hope that you liked
this chapter just as much!
Sam- Thank you.
