Last Chapter:
"No!" Severus shouted at no one in particular. Gathering his courage, Severus apparated away to the ministry of magic.
Upon arriving at the ministry Severus set off running as fast as he could towards the department of mysteries to save Harry.
Knowing that he didn't have much time, Severus ran faster through corridors and doors to find the veil before Harry's time ran out.
Opening a small white door Severus ran inside to find the shelves full of the brains. Knowing he was close he ran to another door that was slightly ajar hoping he would be able to save Harry.
The veil stood in a room that was once full of selves containing jar that with held predictions of fate. Now the room was empty except for the veil that could not be moved to another location.
In front if the veil stood Harry looking into the void to where Sirius disappeared.
"Harry! Wait!" Severus shouted at Harry right as he was stepping up to the entrance of the veil.
Harry paused to turn and look at Severus.
"Give me one good reason that I should not do this," Harry said calmly, his green eyes looking at Severus feeling all of his different emotions flash through his body.
"Please," Severus began. "Hear me out." He stopped and looked back into Harry's eyes feeling his mind and body get lost in the very depth of those emerald eyes staring at him.
Crossing the room to only a few feet away from where Harry stood, Severus made up his mind. Years of emotions and unspoken thoughts came pouring out of his mouth.
"Harry, I may have been a jerk and even more of an asshole to you over these past five years, but there is a reason to all of my actions. Yes I did hate your father because of what he did to me and I also regret becoming a Death eater, but my life has not been easy.
"My father used to beat me every summer and every chance he could get because of little things that I never could understand. I never saw my mother because my father had killed her when I was very little.
"When I went to Hogwarts my life changed, I never went home over the holidays because I knew that my father would beat me until an inch of my life and then leave me alone to suffer. Dumbledore played a big part in my years at Hogwarts. He helped me by becoming a father figure for me to look up to when I came back to Hogwarts after summers at home with my father.
"The summer right before my sixth year, my father took me to Voldemort to get marked. At first I refused but then I gave in because I was weak. Voldemort promised me that I could have revenge on my father for what he did to me. I killed my own father.
"When I went back to school I was isolated and alone from everyone, including Dumbledore because of what had happened during the summer. I knew that there was no way that Dumbledore would forgive me for what I had done, I turned my back on him and became so involved in the dark arts that even my school grades began to suffer.
"One day I was called to Dumbledore's office and I was asked what was happening to my grades and me. I told him to go fuck himself and he only looked at me with tears in those big blue eyes. Something in my heart broke because after the next death eater meeting I went to Dumbledore and cried my heart out in the middle of his office.
"That was when he offered me salvation. I began to spy for his after I graduated from Hogwarts and have been doing ever since.
"I offered my soul to the devil, and that devil was Dumbledore. He made me do this that to even this day I regret and still think about. These things were even worse than some of the things that Voldemort made me do. I cannot live with those things of crime and hate residing within myself.
"When your parents died I felt as if the world was going to end and Voldemort would rule all. But then I heard about you, the great Harry Potter that defeated the darkest wizard of all time. I was glad that I didn't have to deal with Voldemort or Dumbledore as their servants again.
"During that time of freedom I was able to explore me sexual desires and I found that I went after men more than women. This was the happiest time of my life.
"When you came to school looking like an exact image of your father I tried my hardest to keep you out the dangers of being controlled by Dumbledore. Simply to say as the years went by and year after year you faced danger only to come back alive and a little more in Dumbledore's control. In my mind I failed you.
"These past few years you have grown into a handsome young man I fell I love with you and I worked even harder to save you from Dumbledore, but again I failed. Even with everything happening and having both Dumbledore and Voldemort back at each others throats and you being a pawn caught in the middle I swore that I would die trying to protect you.
"Can't you see Harry," Severus paused looking again into those emerald eyes and taking a step closer to Harry, "I love you."
Severus drew Harry close into his body and wrapped his arms around him slowly lowering his head down to meet Harry's and placed a gentle kiss on his lips.
Harry stunned by this sudden display of what ever it was from Severus started to kiss Severus back as if there was no tomorrow.
The kiss grew deeper because each person was hungry for the other and neither wanted to say goodbye to something that they had both discovered. Love.
Harry already knew what he was going to do no matter how much it hurt Severus; he was going to go through the veil because he was tiered of seeing death and destruction.
"Severus," Harry said after they broke for some much needed air. "I have to do this."
"Harry, Why?"
"Because I do not belong in this world, and even though you have helped me in this past day I cannot go on even though I have you," Harry said tears glistening in his eyes.
Severus was shocked. All he did was stand there as a single tear rolled down Harry's cheek. Nodding slowly towards Harry he watched as Harry stepped through the veil and with one last look back at Severus disappeared forever.
Severus went home feeling completely numb.
Opening the door to his bedroom Severus now openly embraced the darkness that was now upon his very soul. Still feeling numb Severus went to bed.
In the morning when he woke up he found a piece of parchment next to him on the bed. Looking down at what the parchment had written on it, Severus read:
Severus,
Please do not worry about me because I am fine and I have finally met my parents and I am finally happy. When there is a great need for me in the future I will return, but until then do your best to survive these next few years.
I have seen in the looking glass that these next few years are going to be hard and rough for you, but you will see me again.
I will always love you,
Harry
From high in the sky
Through the clouds and rain
Every familiar field
Seems like an old friend
When every hand that you shake
Is like a warm embrace
Could only be one sweet place
Home in the heartland
Sing out your songs and
Ring out your stories and rhymes
Weave from your dreams those mystical
Dances that lead us to bend in heart and mind
As we circle the world
With our wandering airs
Gathering here and there
Leaving behind our share
Like the leaves in the wind
They are blown along
Each melody rising from
Home and the heart land
This is the end. I am thinking about continuing on with the story. I would like to get your ideas on what you as the reader would like to have happen. Please let me know and I'll see what I can do for you.
