Mouth Wide Shut

Disclaimer: Since I'm still broke, single, and without any children, I think it is safe to assume that I am not J. K. Rowling. Therefore, it is quite impossible to own Harry Potter.

Warnings and such: same

Severus closed his eyes. Damn Albus! What possible need could the man have for veritaserum at this time of night he didn't know, but it was damned inconvenient. After some fumbling, he managed to locate a Sober-up potion. It cleared his head, and allowed him to think properly. Going to his stores, he reached up a grabbed a bottle of the veritaserum off the shelf. Then with a muffled curse, found his clothes and put them on. Now that he had everything he needed, he turned and left his rooms, heading for the Hospital Wing.

Harry was nervous. Severus would be coming here, soon. It had been ages since he'd seen him outside of the classroom. He knew Severus felt that he had betrayed him, and he really couldn't blame him. If he had been in Sev's shoes, he would feel the same. Sev had no way of knowing /why/ Harry had acted as he had, so of course he assumed the worse. Harry couldn't tell him why he had written those letters, and that made him even more certain. Hopefully, now that they had Lucius and could question him, this whole nightmare would end. Once Sev new why I had acted like I did he'd surely forgive him, wouldn't he? Then, they would be back to how they were. He really did love him, and it hurt not being together. More than he thought possible. He heard the door to the hospital ward open, and looked up. Severus stalked in, bottle in hand. When he saw who was there, he stopped, sneered and said, "You called me down here for /this/? You should have just let me sleep." Then he noticed Lucius. "What's he doing here?"
"That's what we'd like to know. Hence the veritaserum. We give it to Lucius, and ask him what he has done to Harry over there. Then we will find out why Harry has been acting the way he has." Albus said.
Severus snorted. "That's obvious isn't it? Because he's a traitor. You tested him for spells yourself. However, if it will make you feel better....." He walked over and poured three drops of the stuff down Lucius's thought.
