Chapter 15
Severus woke up having slept peacefully for the first time in a long time. He rolled over and saw it was past time for breakfast, but he did not want to wake Harry who was asleep on his chest. Slipping the boy's head out from under him he went to go start breakfast. As he entered the kitchen and set the coffee to brew a phoenix fluttered through his open window. Severus wondering what Dumbledore would send him mail for at this hour took the letter and turned it over. His face turned paler than normal as he saw a howler staring back at him.
Severus not wanting to wake Harry ran into his bathroom and opened the letter. It at once began the ear splitting rant. "Severus Snape! Tell me you had no idea, Tell me you did not do this! You get yourself up and report to my office this instant!"
Severus had sat down sometime during the rant and his mouth fell open as his Headmaster had basically made him feel like a schoolboy again. He had never received a howler from him before, and he knew he better comply quickly.
As fast as lightning he went to check that Harry was still asleep and ran to the stone gargoyle. Giving the password he took the steps two at a time until he had reached the door to the office. He was about to enter when he heard shouting from within.
"Sirius, If you tell me now that you were there I will go easier on you. How could any of you do such a dangerous thing? You could have been caught, and where did you acquire a wand to do it with anyway!?"
"Headmaster, I had nothing to do with this, I swear. I was spending the night in Remus' quarters as not to alarm anyone of my presence."
Snape having heard all he needed entered, the expression on his face becoming stoic as he walked in. "You asked for me Headmaster? Is there something you required, a potion for Pomfrey perhaps?"
"Severus have a seat." Dumbledore said rounding his desk and standing in front of it glaring down on all three. "Since you all seem to be innocent I will explain. It seems Vernon Dursley was found dead this morning, at his home. It also seems that he was put under Crucio before his demise. Would any of you care to explain?"
Sirius was livid. "You mean to tell me someone got to him before me! Damn my luck! I would love to tell you Albus that I had killed the bastard, but I did not."
Dumbledore then turned to Severus who looked upon him with raised eyebrows. The truth lied in those eyes and it became suddenly very clear to the old wizard what had happened. "Severus why" was all he asked.
"The bastard got what he deserved" Severus said and then once again became silent. This enraged Sirius.
"You could not have taken me, you couldn't have waited so I could help? Have you no heart at all you git!"
"Silence!" We will discuss this matter no more. I expect you all at lunch in an hour. Do not make me go looking for you." Dumbledore said and all three cowered under his glare. "Go now, for I have a big mess to cover up."
All three got up to depart, but Albus caught Severus as he was about to leave. "Severus, I know why you did this and I can not say that I blame you, or would have done any different in your place. We shall chalk this up as a lesson learned." Severus nodded his head and ran down the stairs, on his way to wake his son.
He was met at the bottom of the stairs by Remus and Sirius. Both of them gave him piercing looks and he finally spoke not being able to take them any longer. "What, If I hear one word."
"One word, You shall hear several you son of a bitch you could have taken me. I wanted revenge as much as you! How am I to get my vengeance for what they did to him?"
"Shut up for now will you. I have to go wake Harry. We will talk more about this later. I do not have time for your infantile whinings right now," and with this Severus disappeared down the hall in a swish of robes, leaving the other two mouths hanging open.
Severus entered his room and noticed no sound came from within. Quietly he made his way into the bedroom and saw Harry still asleep, curled up in a ball on the bed. Severus went over and sat down and pulled Harry into his arms and shook him "Harry.... Harry wake up"
Harry opened his eyes, but soon snuggled back down into the folds of Severus' robes. Severus chuckled if anyone ever saw this sight they would surely have a heart attack. Gently he picked Harry up and shook him again "Harry, it is time to get up, it is time for lunch."
This time Harry woke up and looked at his father. As he roused from his sleep he began to become frightened. He thought Severus was waking him up for the trial and he scooted back to the end of the bed and sat cowering.
Severus' heart ripped open at the sight. Here should have been a rebellious teenager, but instead it was an underweight, small for his age child who had seen and endured far too much in his young years." Severus pulled the child to him and let Harry bury his head in his robes again. "Harry you do not have to worry any longer he is dead. He can not hurt you anymore."
What happened next horrified Severus. Harry's eyes brimmed with tears and soon a torrent of them ran down his face as he choked back the sobs. "Harry surely you can not mourn that bastard who took so much pleasure in harming you" Severus said hoping against all hope he had not caused the boy anymore pain.
Harry raised his tear filled eyes to his father's gaze. "I cannot believe he is dead, How..
"Do not worry about that, just know he can no longer harm you. Do you cry for him now Harry?"
Harry shook his head no "I am never going to be hurt again, I have never known what it would be like to not live in fear everyday."
Severus clung to his son and rubbed the last tears from his face. "Come let us go to lunch everyone else is waiting. Harry got up from the bed and turned to Severus "Thanks dad for what you did" and with that he went in to change. Severus laughed as he could not even fool his own son. "I must be going soft."
