The love of a child

I would like to say thank you to my beta Founders Child because she is the best in the entire world, I bow down to her greatness :)

Chapter four – Severus Snape to the rescue

Dumbledore to say the least was not pleased to see his golden boy approaching Riddle manor with Snape; he hurried towards them stopping their progress. "What are you doing?" He asked. "You should not be here."

"I'm here for my daughter, step aside." Harry hissed dangerously sending his most vicious death glare Dumbledore's way. The headmaster however was far to used to these looks and was not disturbed by it in the slightest.

"Harry, the first order member who tried to get through the protective barrier was taken to St Mungo's an hour ago; do you want to end up with him, without Bonnie?"

"You said that no one with good intentions can get through right?" Albus nodded. "Do you think that ripping each of their bodies into tiny pieces is a good intention?"

Apparently not but Dumbledore still stood firmly in place unwilling to let this boy whom he had considered a son for a long time now go running into the unknown. "Now Harry be reasonable, I am sure that Snape feels the same way, perhaps he should attempt…"

"He is never going anywhere near my daughter, I would kill him before he did." Harry now having had enough of this banter between them roughly pushed the headmaster aside and strode towards the shield determinedly. Many people cheered as he walked right through it without any effort on his part. Harry ignored them all.

He burst dramatically through the aged wooden doors brandishing his wand. It was pitch black within, the only light shone in from the dawning sun behind him. Harry stood as still as he could, listening for the sound of movement but there was none. What caught his attention a moment later was the sound of crying.

Why would they not have put up silencing charms? Pushing away the thought that it was most likely a trap, one he was falling right into, he charged up the stairs at full speed.

Meanwhile on the sidelines Snape was pacing back and forth, Dumbledore had figured out that his talk with Harry had not gone well and therefore avoided the topic completely. Everyone took an intake of breath when Harry screamed.

"No." Severus cried out, struggling as the headmaster held him back. However Dumbledore was getting on a bit and was unable to hold the fully grown man back. He too charged forward and crossed the shield without hassle. Albus was beginning to wonder if he'd be able to cross it if he built up enough fear and rage.

Harry had found his daughter in the lap of luxury, the cushions she lay upon made of black silk, the same colour velvet blanket wrapped around her to provide warmth, he was unable to reach her before the deatheaters surrounded him laughing and mocking.

They told him that she would make the most perfect leader, her power would not be used for the light as Harry had hoped but for evil, they knew that Harry would come, this was their plan, to kill him once and for all before he could thwart the carefully thought out plan. What they had not considered was the fact that Severus Snape was going to be able to come to the rescue.

He burst in the doors to come face to face with Lucius Malfoy who was dragging his Harry somewhere, Severus felt anger rise inside of him at the sight of his unconscious younger lover. He launched himself towards Malfoy senior tackling him to the ground, stunning and cursing every inch of the worthless being that had dared to hurt Harry or his daughter.

Once Severus was one hundred percent sure that Lucius was going no where he lifted Harry up into his arms and awakened him with his wand (minds out of the gutter). The younger wizard blinked and looked around; he did not seem to be injured in the slightest only a little distressed. "Harry wait here, I'll get Bonnie."

"No." Harry said defiantly as Severus stood him on his own two feet.

"This is no time to be stubborn, wait here." However before Snape could go in search of their daughter Harry called out to him again.

"There's too many of them, let me go with you, I can't fight them on my own."

"Your weak, I know you hate me right now but please trust me, I won't hurt her."

"I know you wouldn't, there's something else."

"Draco, his father has him prisoner here, in the dungeons, you go and get him, meet me upstairs, and I'll get Bonnie back."

"No, you get Draco, if there are as many as you say then I have to fight them with my full strength, you do not have yours now go before the situation gets any worse."

Harry nodded in defeat, just before he left to go and rescue Draco, he called out to Severus: "be careful with her."

Outside Dumbledore had still not been able to penetrate the shield and was growing increasingly more worried. He would never be able to forgive himself if anything happened to either Harry or Bonnie, not to mention Severus.

Harry had finally managed to limp his way down to the dungeons where he found Draco was badly beaten and only just alive, even breathing seemed to be paining him. Harry levitated his body up to the main entrance way and lay him down.

Severus was having a some what worse time of it upstairs; Bonnie sensing the various hexes ad curse flying around her room had put a protective shield around her and was crying, most likely for Harry. Severus was hurt that his own daughter had thought him a threat, he needed Harry and quickly. He was duelling with at least three deatheaters, he wouldn't last long.

Harry heard the sounds of duelling from upstairs and an anguished cry, this sent him flying up the stairs, he did not care that he was not at his best, the thought of losing Bonnie, or even Severus for that matter made him forget the pain, made him forget about Draco, his family came first.

Hope you liked this chapter; I'm working on the next one most likely as you read this. I'm on half term at the moment so can get a lot done. A big thank you to American pie, hahaha-evil and cupotrevor for leaving reviews, it is much appreciated. xxx
