Now to my reviewers! You all RULE!
aquitaineq: Yes. Severus can be gentle in between his bouts of evilness. Sirius will eventually show his true colors, before the end is over
Kaorethein: Hmmm You should tell me what my logic is, as I think it is merely evil.
Catti: Thanks! I liked it too, made me go awww
Jade Snape: Thanks!
rosiegirl: Severus and Sirius will come to terms sometimes, others they will just be themselves
Elwen the InsaneElf: LMAO! haunt away then!
ShadowedHand: Yes, Harry's dream shall come up later, and of course a big boy enough to sleep in his own bed.
Read300300: Thanks for all those kind words, and yes grudges do die hard.
Ymmas Sirron: ROTFLMAO!!! You may keep Sev on alternate days, otherwise he is needed for angst in my other two fics I am writing
Anna Taure: LOL You just wait there will be some serious Severus and Sirius evilness toward each other later on in the prank war from hell.
tigersmeleth: hehehehehe thanks Tiger. here is another for you!
HecateDeMort: Thanks! again!
opal: Yes, He could do that but Harry won't be needing it now.
athenakitty: Harry will talk to Severus eventually little by little that is. and a portkey NOPE he will not insist.
I want to thank you all a million times over! I love your comments, they make me smile. Oh and btw do not kill me when you read this chapter. My evil mind did it,on purpose, just for the evilness of it. now runs
Chapter 13
At breakfast the next morning the previous night was not brought up. Harry was relieved as he did not yet feel comfortable enough to talk about it. As Severus passed him the eggs, Professor Dumbledore walked into the kitchen.
"Severus, I hope you do not mind I let myself in" Dumbledore said smiling at Harry, but alas the twinkle in his eyes was not there, and Severus noticed it.
"What brings you here at this hour Albus? It does not look to be a social call."
Dumbledore turned and sat down in the empty chair at the table, and rubbed his head as if to think how to say what was on his mind. "Severus, I came to inform you the ministry has pushed the trial up so that it is tomorrow. Harry is to testify at ten a.m. sharp."
At these words Severus became livid. "So soon? He has not had time to adjust Albus, he needs more time."
"There is nothing I can do Severus, I have tried." Dumbledore and Severus turned to gage Harry's reaction to this news. Harry's face had gone ashen, and he sat in his chair now whimpering. The tear that had escaped his eye did not go unnoticed by either of them.
"Headmaster I think Harry needs to rest. Perhaps I can calm him down and talk with him on this matter." Severus said rising from his chair, and seeing the headmaster to the door.
With a sigh he returned to the kitchen to see his son broken down, sobbing into his hands. "I do not want to see him again. I can't do it....Do not make me go please" Severus saw what should have been a happy child, now a cowering mass all because of one man, and the horrors which he had inflicted upon him.
"Come Harry, I think you need to lie down and perhaps a small calming draught"
Harry shook his head and let himself be led to the bed and tucked in. As Severus tucked the covers up around his chin he looked down at his son. "I will be right in the next room should you need me."
Harry nodded in understanding, but as Severus went to close the door one final plea reached his ears. "Please daddy do not make me go... please."
Severus Snape paced the room for hours and finally sat down with a glass of fire whiskey. He had not been able to save Harry from Voldemort, or the years of abuse he had suffered at the hands of these people, but could he defy the headmaster. His thoughts were flung aside as he heard screams come from Harry's room. Knocking the glass of fire whiskey to the floor, he took off in a run to the room and flung open the door.
Harry was in the midst of a nightmare and he was screaming out. "NO Uncle Vernon please not the belt.. I will be good I promise. I am sorry I took the piece of bread, I was hungry. Please stop ... please."
"Harry, Harry wake up son" Severus said shaking the boy careful of his injuries which had yet to heal.
Harry snapped from his dream and clung to his father until his knuckles had turned white. "Please do not let them get me. I will be good, honest. Do not make me go."
"It is alright Harry it was only a dream. Hush now and drink this" Severus said handing Harry some Dreamless Sleep potion. In only a moment Harry had drifted off to sleep, but Severus had to pry his hands free from his robes. He tucked Harry back in and walked out closing the door quietly behind him.
Severus was insane with rage. He would not let his son be hurt again, even if it meant taking out the muggle obstacle in his way. Taking some floo powder in his hand, he stepped into the fireplace and called out "Number 4 Privet Drive" and in a flash he was gone.
