Chapter 3: The Nightmare

Harry turned in his chair at the sound of the breaking glass and saw the picture smashed on the floor. He glanced at Severus, he was close to tears, Harry could tell.

"We should go to lunch," Severus said abruptly and started walking across the classroom. Harry cut him off.

"Sev, like you told me this morning." Harry put his hand on his face and wiped away the single tear that had escaped Severus' eye, Severus leaned into the touch, "We'll get through this, it's okay," He turned Severus head to look straight into each other's eyes.

"How?" Sev whispered.

"Because we love each other enough not to let each other fall victum to the pain that we have. We will get through it, why? because we'll be together forever. 'Til Death do us part, right?" Harry then softly pressed his lips against Severus' "I love you," he whispered.

"Actually Harry, I prefer the saying 'to Death and Beyond,'" Severus said "But maybe I should start taking my own advice,"

"Maybe," Harry said as he walked back across the classroom to the broken picture. "Reparo" and the picture was back in its origional form. Severus came to stand beside him and put his hand on Harry's shoulder.

"It was always my favrorite picture," Harry said.

"His tenth birthday, I remember it well, you told him he could invite one kid for each year he had been alive. I was going to kill you, 11 little kids running around the house. I thought you'd gone mad."

"Hey, I made it up to you that night, remember?"

"I remember it well," Severus smiled at the memory, "We should go to lunch."

"What should we do with the picture, Sev?"

"We should leave it here, on your desk." Severus said "I already have one on my desk and we have several at home."

"Yeah," Harry replied as he set the picture on the desk, "He would have loved school Sev," he whispered barely autible.

"I know," Severus put his arm around Harry's shoulders. They walked out of the room to go down to lunch.

The rest of the day went by without incident. They went and finsihed there afternoon lessons, then to supper. Then they went down to their chambers. Harry first, then Severus about half an hour later because he needed to finish up some potions he was working on for madame Pomfrey. When he walked into their chambers, Harry was standing pouring Brandy into a glass.

"Would you like some brandy, love?"

"Please," Severus sat down onto the love seat and propped his feet up. Harry poured another glass of brandy and sat in Sev's lap handing him a single glass on brandy. He leaned his head nto the top of Sev's head as Sev's arm wrapped around his waist. They just sat for a few moments in silence drinking brandy, just glad to be alone in each other's presence.

"So how did your first day go Sev?"

"The usual," Severus replied as he took another sip of brandy, "Scaring the first years senseless so they know not to mess with me, taking away points, the sort of thing I always do. Intimidate."

Harry sighed.

"What's is it love?" Severus asked "What's wrong?"

"I always wanted to know how he would act. With both of his parents teaching him. I don't think that you would ever see a more perfect angel/mischief maker."

"I've seen one."

"What?"

"I've seen a perfect angel and a mischief maker. It was you, Harry. You were always causing trouble but Dumbledore always seemed to get you out of it. You always acted like an angel even when you knew you had done something wrong. You were never at fault because you were Dumbledore's 'Golden Boy' and to him incapeable of making mistakes."

"Your right," Harry nodded as he took another sip of brandy. "Albus did get me out of quite a few nasty spots."

"He did."

"I should thank him one day."

"No! You can't thank him!"

"Why not?"

"Because it would make him feel better about the situations he got you out of even though he shouldn't have gotten you out of them. You should have been punished."

"That's the whole reason I would do it."

"Just to spite me?" Severus said with his voice raised.

"Maybe, for old time sakes you know," Harry teased and Severus got this very ugly scowl on his face.

"Get up off me Harry. I want to go to bed." Harry got up and then pulled Severus to his feet.

"I think I need to sleep too,"

They both got up and went into the bedroom. Severus went to use the washroom as Harry got undressed and settled into the bed. A moment later Severus came out of the washroom, quickly undressed and climbed in beside him wrapping Harry up in his arms. Harry took Sev's hands and entwined them with his own. "I love you, Sev"

"I love you too Harry," and they both drifted off to sleep.

Severus woke up in the middle of the night to someone screaming. It didn't take him long to find out who that was because he was lying right next to him and shaking violently. Quickly Severus sat up and put his hands on Harry's shoulders shaking him and saying "Harry," Harry finally woke up and saw Severus and he grabbed him tightly and started crying and whispering saying "Your okay, O thank god Sev, you're okay." hugging him tightly still Harry said "I dreamed you had died Sev, But your okay!"

"Shh, love it's okay, I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere."

It took a bit but soon Harry quieted down and he fell asleep arms still tightly wrapped around Sev's body as if afraid Sev might disappear.

Harry and Snape woke up very groggy and tired the next morning after failing to sleep for some time last night. While Harry was having a shower, Severus' walked into Dameon's room to get him up, when he suddenly remember he wasn't there and left the room.
