Harry was sad. He could not place his finger on why, but he knew this
feeling all too well to ignore it. He was slumped in a chair in the
Gryffindor common room watching Ron and Hermoine read a book together,
Hermoine positioned between Ron's legs with his arms wrapped tightly around
her waist. Harry sighed and got up to stretch and straighten his sweater
then he made a move to leave but.
"Where are you going Harry?" Ron questioned looking away from the book. "Walk." Harry replied quietly.
With that Harry walked away towards the portrait hole but not before hearing his friends talking.
"He goes on so many walks these days.I can't understand where he goes." Said the slightly puzzled Hermoine.
"Oh, it probably just bugs him sitting here watching us all cuddly and stuff." Ron said pushing his nose against his girlfriend's neck.
Harry chuckled at the recent development that was Ron and Hermoine. He had waited so long for something to happen with them and now that it had he was happy for them.
Harry wandered the halls of Hogwarts until he came to a seemingly solid brick wall that he knew well. Harry looked around to see if anyone was watching and then slowly pushed through the all as if it were jelly. On the other side was a dimly lit room with heavy curtains and candles placed throughout the crimson waves of color the curtain provided. Harry heard the shower running in the bathroom, which was off to his left. He sat down on the bed, which was bedecked with a green and silver bedspread, and waited for Severus to come out of the bathroom. When he finally did come out, beads of water dripping from his black hair, he did not seem surprised at all to see Harry; in fact he bent down and gave him a peck on the cheek.
"What brings you here, luv?" Severus asked from inside the closet where he now was changing into his robes.
"I wasn't feeling quite right.I think I miss my parents.I don't know...I guess maybe I just wanted to see you."
"Harry.Do you really miss them?"
"I don't know..I don't really remember them much. I think I wish I had parents. That's it."
Severus emerged from the closet fully clothed and took a seat next to Harry on the bed. He put his arms around him and sighed.
"Oh Harry I know it must be hard. But you have pulled through this long haven't you."
"How do you know just what to say whenever I feel like crap?"
"Instinct."
Severus turned to Harry and kissed him gently brushing away the few tears that had fallen on Harry's face with his thumbs.
"Where are you going Harry?" Ron questioned looking away from the book. "Walk." Harry replied quietly.
With that Harry walked away towards the portrait hole but not before hearing his friends talking.
