Why Me?

Chapter seven- I love you…

Harry was curled up next to the werewolf's body.

"I'm sorry Remus…I'm so, so sorry…I've done it again…" He was submitting to his emotions, all the walls he'd built up, every time he'd promised himself never to cry all in vain. He was struggling to keep the tears back. 'I'm a murderer no better than Voldemort…'

Severus was walking around the Castle looking for Harry. He'd tried all the usual spots where he'd seen the boy thinking over the years.

"No where to be seen! Damn you boy!" Severus growled. He was standing by the lake he looked up at the castle he was about to try the forbidden forest when a snowy owl collided with his head. Hedwig grabbed the Potions Master's robes and began to pull him towards the Owelry. Snape would have fought back but he knew Potter's owl was smart, so he let it guide him through the castle and into the Owelry.

"Harry?" He whispered trying not to startle the boy.

"You were right professor. I can't do anything right." Harry whispered not looking the potions master in the eye.

"No Harry you can…you've done so many things that no other wizard could possibly imagine…"

"Then why do I kill everyone I love?" Harry sneered at himself. Severus went over to him and placed a hand on the teenagers shoulder. He sighed and pulled the fragile young man up.

"We must leave this room come on Harry." Severus spoke softly leading the boy out of the Owelry. Harry walked quietly with his head down. Severus guided him down to the Dungeons. He figured the boy could do better without all other teachers hounding him. They would find Remus soon enough. He sat Harry down in his office.

"Harry I know I'm not the best person to talk to in your eyes. But you need to speak to somebody…"

"I'm sorry Professor Snape." Harry whispered hugging himself.

"What for?" Snape asked puzzled.

"Intruding on your pensieve last year…it's my fault that Sirius died and now I've killed Remus too."

"Harry it is not your fault!" He didn't stop to wonder when he's started calling him Harry.

"You are a great wizard! You are an great person! You have the attitude of your mother and yes some of your father but you are you Harry! Never say that again you are not to blame!" Severus didn't know where all this was coming from but it wouldn't stop. 'No I don't care for the brat I don't!'

"When did you start to call me Harry?" Harry looked into the eyes of his professor, his eyes were welling up. 'This man hates me…yet he still thinks I'm great, he's always seen me for me…even after all the stuff my father put him through in the end…he saw me. He protected me…he's the hero of this war not me. He spy's on Voldemort at the risk of his life.'

Severus couldn't answer Harry's question he just looked straight into his fathomless eyes.

"When I started…" Severus trailed off. Harry looked into the onyx eyes trying to read the emotions that were flashing through them. Confusion…pity… Harry gave up they were the only two he could work out. His mind was calling to him trying to make him remember something.

"Professor…you came didn't you? When I was in trouble at the Dursley's…even though the Death Eaters could have seen you and killed you…why?" Harry asked. Severus' jaw tightened, yes the man was right he had gone against all his better instincts and gone with Dumbledore. 'Why? That's a good question.'

"I don't know Harry."

"Oh…" Harry still felt guilty about Remus…but his heart was too busy trying to process what his brain had been trying to shout to him. Harry was concentrating on figuring out what his brain was trying to tell him.

"Harry I know you're hurt…but do not let that get you down please remember you don't have to be alone. We will always be here to protect you. Don't let the presence of the Dark Lord stop you from crying…yes I've noticed it. Crying is a way of letting your emotions go, don't be afraid to do it." Harry knew the man was right but a particular word in that speech caught Harry's attention. His eyes widened as he remembered…the voice taunting him accusing him and then a presence that caused him to fight back.

Severus watched as the boy closed his eyes. Harry was silent trying to feel the same presence… 'Was it him?' The presence suddenly connected as Severus put a hand on Harry's shoulder. 'It was him! He saved me from the darkness…' He looked up at the potions master.

"Thank you Professor…you just saved me again…" Harry whispered. Severus raised an eyebrow the young man was smiling at him. He sighed 'time for you to let yourself go too…even if it is for a moment' He smiled back at Harry.

'It was him…wow, I've never seen him smile before…he looks…nice.' Harry stood and stared straight into the Professor's eyes.

"Why?…Why did you try to save me? Every time you knew I was in trouble?" He was only a little shorter than Severus.

"Because…" 'I don't…know…oh yes you do! No…I don't I mean he's always been to look after himself. But you've always wanted to protect him…Well I had a debt to repay…no you've already repaid that debt and you know it!…Well then why did I?' Harry watched as Severus tried to figure out an answer. 'Because you…I love him…' Severus closed his eyes and sighed. He'd been hurt in the past badly… 'should I tell him? Yes…trust him…he's different he wont hurt you…'

"Because Harry," He whispered looking once more into Harry's beautiful eyes, "I love you…I know it will take a long time to heal your scars…but please let me help you…even if you don't return my feelings let me help you…please?" Harry couldn't believe his ears. 'How can he love me? Doesn't he know I'll kill him?'

Severus could tell what the boy was thinking. He grabbed Harry's chin and pulled his face an inch in front of his own.

"You will not kill me…I love you, I will never leave you unless you want me too…please let me love you...give me a chance." Severus knew this was not like him but he had trusted his heart to Harry. 'I'm an idiot! Look at him he's going to call me a pervert and run out and tell Dumbledore.'

'Well the fact that he's male doesn't bother me...he wants me to give him a chance...he deserves it.'

"I don't…know if I love you, but…I'll give it, us a try…" 'What am I saying? I just killed Remus! I'm a sick bastard I don't deserve love! But he said it wasn't your fault Harry…It was though!…NO! It was not your fault! It was Voldemort's! You know that and you know who to kill!…It…wasn't my fault?…Now your starting to see the truth Harry…they died protecting you…so do them a favour and don't get killed…ok?…Ok I wont…'

"Harry are you sure?" Severus asked in complete disbelief. It was like he was in a dream. 'There must be something wrong! I never get anything I want, what's going on? Why did I trust him? Why am I acting so different?…Because the ice around your heart is finally melting…'

"Yes…you were right…it wasn't my fault but it still hurts…I will kill Voldemort! And anyone else who tries to hurt those I love! I'm the only one that can do it and I will!"

Severus smiled at him, 'There's the Harry I know…'

A.N Sorry if that seemed rushed, I tried to keep it in character as much as possible and I wanted the romance to start and Harry deserved it don't you agree? Please R&R!!
