Someone was screaming. Whatever was happening to them didn't sound fun in the least.

"Mum!"

Rain jerked her head up, everything was dark, but she recognized Eric's voice calling out to her.

She tried to move when she heard him scream a second time, but found that she was restrained against a wall by chains.

Eric suddenly appeared with dark figures surrounding him, them were the ones that were hurting him.

Eric dropped to the ground, lifeless eyes open and staring straight at Rain. The dark figures were coming towards her now, they were going to do to her what they did to Eric. The only thing Rain could do was stare into his lifeless eyes.

Rain jolted awake from her nightmare, looking around before remembering where she was, trying to catch her breathe and slow down her racing heart.

When she calmed down and took in her surroundings, she could hear a noise, it sounded like someone was struggling with a bad nightmare. Rain got up from her bed, slow and careful of her injuries. It took her a minute to get her bearings because of her dizziness, only having like this whenever she had lost too much blood after getting into fights on the streets. Passing a few empty beds before coming to a spot that was closed off by curtains, she pulled the curtains back to allow room for herself to enter.

There was a man on the bed, and he seemed somewhat familiar. It took a few moments for Rain to recognize him, her eyes widening. It was him, he was the man who raped her. And as strange as it was, Rain wasn't mad. It was really strange, here in front off her lay the man that forced himself on her. He had raped her, and yet Rain couldn't help but think that the man have any choice in the matter. She couldn't explain it, just like she couldn't explain anything else that was going on.

Rain got out of her daze, and moved forward to try and wake the man by gently shaking him. The man jerked awake and sat up quickly, shoving Rain roughly away from, nearly falling off his bed in the process.

Rain, who wasn't expecting the sudden shove, hit the cool hard floor landing on her bad side. She couldn't back the cry of pain.

When Rain cried out it seemed to bring the man back to the present. He looked at the girl on the on the floor in pain, realizing that it was he who shoved her.

Severus was once again summoned by Voldemort, and was put under the Imperius Curse, he couldn't fight and had to watch the pain that innocent people were going through as well as what he was being force to do. He tried to fight it, tried with every bit of strength that he owned. Suddenly someone touched him on the shoulder, startled, Severus pushed the person away from him. But then he was sitting in a bed in the hospital wing in Hogwarts. It was then that he noticed a girl in pain on the floor.

'Oh Merlin, I must have pushed her! … wait… it-it's her!' Severus panicked and jumped out of bed as quick as he could to the girl's side.

Gently lifting the girl up and held her, surveying the damage he caused to her shoulder. There was a bad cut on her shoulder that looked as if it had reopened.

Rain was shaking and she didn't know why. Her shoulder did hurt, but it wasn't like she wasn't used to this kind of injuries. ' Someone's holding me.' Rain was starting to fade into unconsciousness when she looked up at the person, all she saw was a blurry face. She could feel the warmth that was radiating from the person, it was something that she wasn't used to, 'I wish someone wou'd 'old meh like this more.'

That was her last thought before things went black. Severus had seen the look of want in the girl's eyes, he wondered what was going through her mind, but he didn't have time to wonder about that at the moment because the girl suddenly went lax in his arms.

"Poppy!" Before he knew it, Poppy was by his side checking Rain.

"She is going into shock from blood loss, she has already lost to much blood and losing even a little more could be fatal, for her and the baby."

Madame Pomphrey got Rain onto a bed and quickly used a spell to close the wound on her shoulder.

Severus stayed on the floor, wide eyed and staring off into space. He had just found out that the girl that he was forced to rape was pregnant, most likely with his child.

"Severus get up off the floor and into a bed. You are still very weak and shall remain in a bed until I deem you fit." Severus complied with her request, he was still shocked from the news he had just learned.

Severus lay there in the white hospital bed, it didn't have anything on his own bed. He lay there staring up at the ceiling, though not really seeing it, it was as if he were not really seeing it since his eyes had a glazed look in them. Though one question stuck out at him that he had to know, " How far along is she?"

Pomphrey didn't look at him, she just continued checking over Rain, "It was hard to tell that she was even pregnant. I would have to say at the most three days. Thank god for pregnancy spells, if I hadn't found that out and gave her the potions that I originally was I would have killed it without even knowing it." Poppy had just finished wrapping Rain's shoulder up in a bandage to prevent movement and keeping pressure on it so it doesn't bleed it if does reopen.

'That confirms it.' Severus was now positive that it was his child that he carried. Severus felt depression wash over him like a wave, he was causing a girl that was probably old enough to be a seventh year here at this school to be forced to bear the burden of carrying a child.

Pomphrey was ignoring Severus and was checking over Rain's wounds one last time before she was satisfied enough to leave and get some rest.

Albus Dumbledore was sitting at his desk, questioning Eric, who was busy looking around at all the odds and ends in his office. Seeing this, Albus couldn't help but silently chuckle to himself.

"What is your name?" Eric jumped slightly and whipped his head around to look at the blue eyes of the old man in front of him. He was hesitant in even talking to the old, but decided that it was okay if he did, "Eric."

"Eric? Is that your whole name?"

"Yeh, wha' else wou' I' beh?"

Even though Eric was so calm, Albus was a little disturbed. This little 8-year-old boy in front of him was homeless, aka 'a street rat'.

"Do you have any family?'

"Yeh, I 'ave a mum," Eric kept eye contact with Dumbledore.

"And who is she?"

"She's da one in the 'ospital wing, 'er names Rain."

"What about your real mother?"

Eric broke off the staring contest and looked down at his hands that were in his lap. It was a while before he answered the question, "I don' know. Mum said tha' she found meh on the streets when I wa' 'bout three. She tol' meh that I 'ad been crying for my mum an' da'. Master 'ad been lookin' after her an a few others, en exchange for his protection, we was pick-picketers."

Albus kept a straight face, though he was appalled by what young children were made to do to be able to just live, "You can go now Eric." Eric swiftly left and Albus got up to go to the Hospital wing to talk to a few people.

Severus was once again looking up at the ceiling, though if you asked him what color it was he wouldn't be able to answer.

'What is going to happen once she finds out that I am the one who raped her? Plus that now she is pregnant because of me. What is Albus going to say? Are things just going to go back to normal if she gets rid out if? What happens if she keeps it?' His thoughts that were interrupted when he heard Poppy and Albus talking, she was telling him about the girl being pregnant. He knew that Albus would soon come and ask for the usual information, which would be when he would say that he raped the girl and it was his child she held.

"Severus my son. I know that you are awake, and you know why I am here. I need to know what occurred during the raid."

"Not much to tell Albus. I got there and was instructed that I was to stay near the Dark Lord. We went through some alleys before we came upon a group that had been cornered, and was in the midst of being under the Cruciatus curse. The Dark Lord put me under the Imperius curse and forced to rape a girl while the others were continued being tortured. That's about all."

Albus looked at Severus questionably, there was important being left out and he knew it, " Are you sure that's all Severus?" Severus slowly nodded, as if unsure, "So the girl you were forced to rape wouldn't happen to be the girl on the bed beside you, and the child she carries wouldn't be yours?"

Severus winced, actually hearing it being said out loud made things sound a hell of a lot worse. Albus saw the reaction and he knew it, Albus knew that it was his child. He just sighed in defeat.

Albus had the damn annoying twinkle back in his eyes, "So it is your child she carries." Severus nodded though he knew it wasn't a question, "What are you going to do?"

"I have no idea Albus, no idea."
