Author Notes: Thank you for all that reviewed. Special thanks to my recent reviewers, because without you I would have never updated my story again. I have a sequel idea, hopefully it will be longer, but I want anyone who reviews to tell me if I should.
Chapter 6: Epilogue
That was how they were when Dumbledore found them. He smiled inwardly seeing Harry not freeze up at the sight of him. Severus really was a great help. He had toyed with the idea of letting Snape stay here, until he saw the man. Severus had to be removed, the sooner the better it seemed. He walked over and held Snape's hand, Snape hold also nearly cutting the circulation.
"Goodbye Remus
Snape was tugging at Dumbledore's arm indicating he wanted to leave. Harry gave Dumbledore a worried glance.
"Percy has agreed to watch Severus. I think he'll do much better in Percy's care", he said for Remus's benefit as he handed Snape a lemon drop, which got swatted away. "Would either of you want a lemon drop"
They were quick to decline, so Dumbledore took Snape to his new future with Percy the babysitter.
"I wonder why no one appreciates lemon drops", was the only sound except for Snape's stumbing the whole way there.
"Good morning, Remus."
"Good morning, Headmaster."
"Remus, are you good with small children?
"Children?", he asked. Harry squeezed his hand reassuringly.
"Yes, Mrs. Jones wants Hannah to take Piano Lessons, and Mr. Shaklebot with love it if you had time to teach Katie."
"Teach?"
"They'd be happy to pay you, I'm sure."
That wasn't what was bothering him, could he stop spending so much time with Harry in order to teach other children piano too? Harry seemed to think so," Do it", he told him startling Dumbledore with his voice.
"Harry-"
"Then we can pay Snape back, in full,for stocking the kitchen with chocolate ice cream. You hate being in debt right?"
"I..i'll do it.", he said smiling hesitantly.
Remus would be fine, until he ran out of kids to teach, but right now Dumbledore's worry was Severus. The man was a shell. His life had been potions, and now that he could no longer do them, Severus seemed to feel as good as dead. However, if Severus ever tried to commit suicide, Pecy Weasley would stop him. Percy seemed to enjoy the position of power over someone, he spent every waking second with Snape. It was a shame, that Remus's eyes were blotted scar tissur, and that Severus's eyes were simular, if not worse. However, with Severus tucked under the wing of a capable protector, and Remus happy, and occupied, giving piano lessons to whoever asked, (most of the Order did) Dumbledore felt confident that they'd make it to the day when a potion, or spell, was found or developed to rid them of their disabilities.
