Chapter 17
Severus quickly picked himself off the floor and wiped the tears from his eyes. He then went into the bathroom and took a long leisurely bath. As he stood up to dry himself off he heard a pop from behind him, and saw a very embarassed house elf.
"Master Snape sir, Harry wishes to know when you will be ready for dinner. Snape was about to ask what the elf was going on about he had only been there for a short while. He then looked out the window and noticed that it had become dark. "What time is it?" he questioned.
"It is just past nine sir"
Severus Snape swore under his breath. How could he have been in there so long? Harry must be starving. As quick as he could he dressed and walked to Harry's room. "Harry I am so sorry. Why did you not come and tell me you were hungry?"
Harry shrugged and looked and Snape and quirked his eyebrows. He then began to laugh and could not stop, even though his side was beginning to hurt alot, the giggles continued.
"What are you laughing at? Do I amuse you that much?" Snape said becoming curious as to what brought this about.
"I have never seen your hair look ungreasy, almost makes you look normal." Harry then fell back into his fit of laughter. Snape could see the obvious pain etched across his face and yet the boy would not stop laughing.
"Harry stop before you bust one of your stitches!" Snape said his voice rising. As he glanced down to the bed he saw his words were too late as the bed was marred again with red stains. "Harry quiet down you are bleeding."
This seemed to stop his fits of laughter and then he let slip a soft moan. "I am sorry" he said inching away as he saw the stains on the sheets.
"Do not worry. Now come over here, I am no Pomfrey, but I can stitch this up in a couple minutes and we can be on our way to dinner." Severus turned to see the fear in Harry's eyes and felt bad as Harry whimpered and let a tear roll down his face as he finished up. He knew Harry would be sore for the rest of the night. "Come on I will carry you down."
"I can walk!" Harry protested and Severus let him get up, and they both made their way down to dinner. He had winced as he saw Harry stumble a couple of times, but he refrained from helping him knowing the boy was trying to show some independence. As they entered the Great Hall they had expected it to be empty. There sat Sirius and Remus enjoying a nice cup of coffee and Dumbledore and Hagrid laughing quite loud.
"Severus, Harry come join us. We thought you had already eaten, but we shall have one of the house elves bring you a plate." Dumbledore said motioning for them to sit down. The headmaster clicked his fingers and at once a house elf appeared with two plates.
Sirius smiling turned to Harry. "How are you feeling, better I hope?"
"I am feeling much better," Harry said sending his father a look that said please do not say. He then popped a potato into his mouth as not to have to answer the next question.
"Harry, Dumbledore tells us that you have come up with some things you wish to do. If you could tell us we shall all set out tomorrow and make a day of it."
"Really, You all three will go? No matter how stupid it seems?"
"We promise Harry. Whatever you wish to do we will all attend."
"Well," Harry said "Dudley was always getting to go to the circus, and he would always tell me of the things he had seen, but I have never been. Could we go tomorrow?
"Circus? What is a circus, all three asked at the same time."
"You shall see" Albus said with mirth in his eyes. "I shall leave you now and wish you all a happy day out tomorrow."
All finished up dinner occasionally speaking to Harry, trying to figure out what a circus was, and what in the heck was a clown and what purpose did they serve. Before his dinner was even half eaten Harry yawned and his eyes began to droop. Without saying a word Severus picked him up and spoke his regards to seeing them in the morning.
Walking to the bed Severus pulled off Harry's shoes and was about to tuck him in when Harry's eyes opened slightly. "Dad you need the circus." he said yawning again.
"Why is that Harry?" he said careful of his son's side. He had seen the winces at dinner.
"You need to smile more dad. I like it when you smile." Harry said seeming to fall asleep. Severus got up, but he was stopped as Harry's hand shot up to grab his robes. "Will you sleep in here? My side really hurts and I can not get comfortable."
It was then that Severus noticed how Harry was holding on to his side with his other hand. With a sympathetic look he kicked of his shoes and scooted the boy over. Harry quickly fell asleep, his head lying on his father. Severus soon drifted off to scary visions of what in the world a clown was. Little did he know he would meet one up close the next day.
Will see you next chapter which by the way is a long one. Until then wheeeeeeeee
