Harry slowly came to consciousness. The first thing he noticed was that he HURT. All over. He opened his eyes, slowly. The sight that was before him shocked him.
Severus was next to him, asleep. He looked absolutely exhausted. Harry mentally berated himself for causing all this trouble.
Harry was about to get up when he realized one thing. He felt safe. Safe from Dark Lords, Death Eaters, and ex-best friends. For one brief moment Harry thought that he would no longer have to cut any more and he actually thought that he would last through this war.
That thought was shattered when Severus woke up with a groan. 'Oh no...' Harry thought, 'I've been such a bother... He's going to be so mad.' Harry slowly got up and tried to sneak out before Severus was fully awake.
He wasn't even a foot away from the couch when Harry's legs gave out, and he fell, right onto Severus. Severus groaned again. "Sorry, I'm sorry. I'm going to go now," Harry was babbling.
Severus grabbed Harry's arms. "Its ok, Harry. Calm down," Severus said reassuringly.
Harry froze, "You're not mad?" he asked.
"Why would I?" he replied.
"All the trouble I caused.... I mean... I completely messed up your laboratory. And it sounded like you were in a lot of pain..." Harry was babbling again, "I just mess up everything... No one wants me anymore..." Harry's babbling was interrupted by the angry tears that were leaking out of his eyes.
Severus was at a loss of words. "What do you mean you no one wants you?"
Harry was silent. Severus shook Harry's shoulder reassuringly. Harry was silent for a few minutes before he spoke, "I mean, look at everyone in my life.... something bad happens to everyone I know. Look at Cedric and Sirius. Its either that or they hate me for something I can't change. Ron and all the Griffindors hate me for just being related to you. Uncle Vernon hates me because I'm a wizard. Voldemort hates me just because I'm alive. And you hated me just because I looked like someone who you despised as a child. See..." Harry said, his words being muffled by his sobs, "No one wants me."
Severus couldn't resist wrapping his arms around Harry. Harry flinched. "Sorry," Severus said.
"Not your fault," Harry mumbled.
Just then, Severus got a fire call from Albus, "Severus," the head of Albus said, "Could you meet me in my office?"
Mentally cursing the headmaster into oblivion, Severus stood and walked toward the fire. "Don't get up, you're still weak. I'll be back in a couple of minutes." Harry nodded.
In Albus's office, there stood a very angry Mrs. Weasley and a Ron Weasley cowering in a seat. "Ahh, Severus, its a pleasure to have you here," Albus started.
While mentally gouging out Ron's eyes with a dull wooden spoon, Severus faked a smile, "What exactly do you need, Albus?"
"Me, I need nothing, Molly, here, would like a word with you about this mornings Potion class."
Severus broke out into an evil smile, "Well, Molly, it seems as if Mr. Weasley has a problem with Mr. Pot- Snape."
Back in Severus's rooms, Harry was sitting in misery, he didn't like being in the dark and he REALLY didn't like sitting alone. He was to the point of going out of his mind when there was a soft knock on the door. Slowly Harry got off the couch and headed toward the door. "Draco," Harry said simply.
"Hey Harry, is Severus around?" Draco asked.
"No, went to talk to Dumbledore. I'll see you around, ok?"
"Can I just wait for him with you?" Draco asked.
Harry thought a minute before answering, "I'm not sure if Severus allows people in his quarters," he said quietly. He was closing the door when he was hit with a spasm of pain causing him to almost fall. Draco caught him easily, but Harry flinched away causing both Harry and Draco to end up on the floor.
"Sorry," Harry muttered while trying to get up, but failing and falling back onto the ground. Tears of frustration came to Harry's eyes.
"Here, Harry let me help you out," Draco said while reaching for Harry's arm. Harry took a steadying breath and let Draco help him back onto the couch. "Christ Harry if I knew you were this hurt I'd have opened the door myself," Draco said as he sat on the couch next to Harry.
"S'ok," Harry mumbled already drifting off to sleep. "Draco, would you consider yourself one of my friends?"
"Of course. Why wouldn't I?"
"Dunno, I was just checking to make sure you weren't like-" Harry stopped as he felt the tears leak out of his eyes. "Never mind," he mumbled.
Draco put a comforting arm around Harry, and whispered softly to Harry, "I would never abandon you, remember that."
After about an hour of Mrs. Weasley yelling at Ron, Severus asked if he could go back to his rooms to check on Harry. Albus said he should go and to bring Harry back so Ron could apologize.
After saying the password to his room, he paused in front of the scene before him. Draco was silently looking into the fire, his arm casually draped around Harry, Harry, looking completely at ease, asleep.
At the sound of the door closing Draco jumped causing Harry to awaken. "Harry," Severus said softly, "Albus would like to see you in his office." Harry said nothing, "Draco can come with if you'd like." Harry smiled a true smile. Severus could count the amount of times Harry did that on one hand, in fact, he could count it on one finger.
On the way down to Dumbledore's office, Harry turned into a nervous wreck. What did Dumbledore want anyway? The gargoyle statue was already moved so Harry silently walked up the spiral staircase.
He stopped dead in his tracks. Ron was in there. Harry tried to turn around and go back, but Draco pushed him forward.
"Harry, Ron would like to say something," Albus said.
Mrs. Weasley lightly tapped Ron on the shoulder, "Sorry," Ron muttered.
"For?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
Ron stared at Harry for a minute before answering, "I'm sorry for trying to rid the world of the son of a Death Eater. I'm sorry for trying to get rid of a Death Eater in training," Ron said bitterly.
Harry's eyes filled with tears as he fled the room. Draco glanced at Severus and glared at Ron before following after him.
Draco ran through the hallway looking for Harry. He found Harry in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. "Harry," Draco said, "Don't believe anything Ron said. Just don't believe him."
Harry looked at him with tear filled eyes; "I can't. He was my first friend. He was the first person to ever be semi-friendly to me. And I-" Harry's voice broke.
Draco attempted to put a comforting arm around him, Harry flinched, violently. "Sorry," Harry muttered, "I ruin everything. Go, Draco, just go. I don't deserve your presence."
"No, I won't leave you alone,"
"Fine," Harry said dejectedly, "I'll just go. See you tomorrow," mentally he added, 'maybe'
The minute Harry left Dumbledore's office, Severus turned on Ron. "Mr. Weasley, I do believe I gave you a warning already. So that will be about a month's detention," Snape sneered.
"But, that's not fair!" Ron yelled.
"Would you like to make it two?" Severus said as he turned and left the room.
When Severus reached his rooms, there was something odd; his door was wide open. Only one thing came to his mind, "Harry!" he yelled.
No answer.
Severus ran into the bathroom. Harry was standing in the middle of the bathroom with a knife in his hands. "Harry," Severus said, "don't do it."
