Severus let go of Harry as he felt the younger man shudder involuntarily. Severus looked down to see Harry gazing into his eyes. He couldn't name all of the emotions, but he recognized a few, there was fear, anger, confusion and shock. Fear for what was to come, anger for what had happened, confusion at Severus' reaction, and shock at the embrace.
Harry started backing away slowly. "I.I." He stuttered.
"I'm sorry, Harry. Rea."
"I have to go." Harry said quietly at he left the room.
Harry started to run quickly down the hall once he was sure that Severus could no longer see him. His thoughts were racing with questions. The main one, though, was wondering why Severus had hugged him like he had. It wasn't a simple, teacher-comforting-student type of hug, it was a full on tight embrace. Harry had been able to feel all of Severus' body through the thin material of his cloak.
When Harry reached the Forbidden Forrest, he slowed his pace some. He considered the edge of the thick forest for mere moments before irrationally walking in.
By the time his fear and anger had subsided, Harry had found himself completely lost. Mentally kicking himself, he tried to retrace his steps. When this failed, he sat down on a dead tree-branch and allowed himself to cry long over-due tears. He hadn't cried since he was a little child, but now all of the feelings and emotions were pouring out of him in waves.
When Harry was about to stand up and try again, he heard a low sound, almost like a devilish laugh. Looking towards the direction he assumed it had come from, he saw a circle of at least five Death-Eaters staring at him through their black masks.
"Crying, Potter?" Said one of the masked men with a drawl that Harry knew all to well. Before Harry could react, he was hit by a stunning curse, and fell like a stone onto the cool ground of the forest.

Severus was cleaning up a ruined potion he had been making before the events of the day had taken place when he saw Albus Dumbledore's head poke through his silent fireplace. "What do you want, Albus?" Severus said without taking his eyes off of the foul-smelling potion remains. He figured that the old man simply wanted to chat some more about the Death Eater meeting.
"Severus, Harry's disappeared. He was last seen going into the Forbidden Forrest. We need you to get down there quickly. I fear it was Voldemort."
"Fool boy!" Severus shouted as he raced out of the dungeons towards the edge of the forest.
When Severus arrived he saw that Albus and Minerva were already waiting anxiously for him. Without saying a word, Severus stormed angrily into the forest, intent on finding Harry. Severus wasn't stupid, he knew it had been their earlier conversation that had driven Harry to do something this stupid. He knew that Harry often didn't think things through before doing them.
"Severus!" Severus heard Albus shouting before the older man apperated next to him. "Please listen for a moment before you do something rash."
"Get on with it." He replied while still moving.
"Do you think this has something to do with the Dark Lord?"
"Of course it does, Old Man! When don't things involving missing Potters have to do with the Dark Lord?"
"You're right, of course, Severus, but have you thought this through yet? If Voldemort was involved, he may still have spies lurking about, if you're seen eagerly helping, your position may be compromised." Severus knew that Albus was right, but at the moment the only thing he noticed was the familiar burning on his forearm.
"I have been summoned." Severus said before he left with a small pop.
