Chapter Thirteen

"Are you alright, Sir?" Draco asked his godfather with concern that was not for the injured hand but for the revealed secret in a form of a big, black dog.

"Nothing I can't fix." Severus growled.

"At least let me have a look." Madame Pomphrey gave him a scowl.

Severus rolled his eyes as he lifted his sleeve and humoured the mediwitch.

"Well, it'll cure." The mediwitch said after a few sways of her wand. "You can't use it for a few days, and you have to keep it dry."

Severus only stared at her. His eyes clearly said that he already knew what she told him and she only wasted their time. Severus waited until Madame Pomphrey took her leave before he questioned his godson. "Where is she?"

"She asked me to get her Prongs and let her sleep with me."

"What?" Severus glared at the boy. "Well, tell her if she doesn't get back here this instant, she wouldn't be allowed to come here again."

"Is it wise?" Draco said as he went to Harry's room. "She's ready to leave when Grandma come tomorrow."

Severus let out a long breathe and glared at his four legs companion. "This is all your fault. She is your godfather, stupid."

Black, the dog, only bared his teeth, as if he was smiling. 'Well, she looks nothing like a dog.'

"Let her stay with me. I'll talk some sense to her." Draco lifted the two cuddly toys he found in Harry's room. "Which one is it?"

"The stag." Severus said bitterly, now Harry didn't even want his present.

Draco wanted to go back to Harry's and returned the other toy, but Black suddenly stood up and stopped him, his eyes eyeing the stag in Draco's hands. "Don't tell me he wants the stag too."

"Black." Severus barked.

Black looked at the man he considered as his master. Losing at the staring contest, he growled and walked back to Severus' side.

"Well," Draco watched the dog amusedly. "I'll bring Harry here tomorrow."

"Why Harry's not here now?" Ron asked his friend, he carefully avoided Blaise and Ginny's eyes. "She's not back, yet?"

"I can see that Draco and Professor Snape aren't here too." Hermione shrugged her shoulder. "They might have dinner together."

Ron shuddered involuntarily at the thought that Harry preferred the company of the Slytherins.

"And I can see that a certain Slytherin is trying to catch your attention." Hermione grinned. "You better stop ignoring him, or he might do something drastic."

"Yeah, like what?" Ron sneered, or tried to since he was busy munching on the chicken roast.

"Like coming here and join us for dinner?" Hermione chuckled.

Ron turned around and saw that Blaise was indeed walking to the Gryffindor table. He raised his fork and waved it dangerously, signalling the Slytherin to return to his own table or he had a flying fork stabbing him on the chest.

For a moment the two was staring at each other. Ron was glaring with a little hint of panicky while Blaise was looking at the Gryffindor with a little hint of teasing. Knowing when to step back, Blaise only smirked as he walked to Ginny. He could feel the eyes following him.

"Ginny." Blaise smiled. "Can I have a moment?"

Ginny looked up and returned the smile hesitantly. "Sure." She followed him into the deserted corridor. "Now, things went great, I hope?"

"Marvellous." Blaise smiled happily. "I just want to thank you."

Ginny blushed. She never saw the Slytherin smiled before and now she was mesmerized by it. "Well, just don't forget that you owe me."

"Sure." The Slytherin nodded. "When I have him, I'll return the favour."

"It will take some time." Ginny grinned. "Knowing my brother. Just don't give up."

Blaise smirked confidently. "I'll have him in two months."

"Did I just hear a bet?" Ginny lifted an eyebrow.

"I'll have him for sure." Blaise smirked. "Well, see you around. I think I'll pass dinner."

Ginny shrugged her shoulder as he walked back to the Great Wall, to where she sat before, all the time knowing her brother was staring hard at her.

"Thank you." Harry sadly took the cuddly toy. "Is he alright?"

"Madame Pomphrey had checked on him. She said he couldn't use his hand for a few days, other than that he is fine."

Harry held her Prongs tightly as she sobbed.

"Don't be so sad, Harry." Draco awkwardly held her. He never held a girl with platonic intention before but he tried to do his best. "He'll be fine. Come on, I thought I keep chocolate somewhere in my room." He gently pulled her to his room.

No other girl ever entered his room. Even though Draco slept with a few girls before, they were never welcome into his room. It would be simply in an unused room or the bathroom, just for a quick relief, so he wasn't worry that there would be uninvited guests or improper clothes articles that wasn't for Harry's eyes or he would hear from his godfather. Not that he was afraid of Severus.

"I'm not hungry." Harry sat on Draco's bed.

Draco nodded. "Well, just get rest, Harry, you'll feel better tomorrow."

Harry looked absently at Draco. "I don't have my pyjamas with me."

Draco smiled. "Don't worry, you can wear mine." He opened his wardrobe and chose one. He charmed it so it would suit Harry better.

Harry took the articles and went to the bathroom.

Draco quickly searched for his emergency foods. Harry might not be hungry but he needed his dinner. Since he couldn't leave Harry alone, he should be satisfied with a few bars of chocolate. He was started on his third when Harry called him, asking for her toothbrush.

"I have new ones on the left first drawer. Choose what you want."

A few minutes later, when she had finished whatever she needed to do, Harry returned to the bedroom. She neatly put her robe on Draco's table and walked to the bed where Draco had been waiting for her.

"You look tired." Draco said with concern. "Go to sleep, you'll feel better tomorrow."

"Okay." Harry readily agreed, though she believed that things would only get worse. Harry lay in the bed while Draco when to the bathroom. When Draco returned, Harry was still awake.

"Can't sleep?"

"You have to read me a story." Harry explained. "It's in my list."

"What list?"

"Things I have to do before I sleep. Aunt Nisa made it for me."

Draco smiled. "Really? Does Severus read you stories too?"

"He read me about Potion." Harry pouted.

"Well." Draco lay beside here. "I never read people stories too. But I know some Potions, do you want to hear it?"

"Okay." Harry smiled. Listening about Potions made her relax, as if he was wit Severus.

Twenty minutes later the room was silent. Draco fell asleep in the middle of his third Potions recital while Harry fell asleep when she was listening to the second Potions ingredients.

Ô

The next morning, Draco's still blurry mind registered that he was holding something soft and warm, and it felt really nice. He tightened his hold and that something made protesting sounds.

Draco opened his eyes and met Harry's pouting face. "I can't breath."

"Sorry." Draco grinned, but he didn't let her go. "You felt so nice."

Harry only nodded.

"Well, you may use the bathroom first." Draco yawned. "And then we go to Severus' place. I think Grandma and Mother will be there soon."

"Okay." Harry said without enthusiasm.

Draco smiled when he saw Harry tried to move as slow as possible, and he had a strong feeling that it wasn't because she was still half asleep. And later, when they were walking to Severus' place, Draco had to drag her since she walked slower than a turtle.

"Come on, Harry. We can't let Grandma wait."

"But…" Harry stopped walking. 'I don't want to leave.'

Draco sighed. Without much difficulty he swapped Harry off her feet and carried her to Severus' place.

Harry didn't protest though. She held tightly to Draco and when he opened the door and put her down, she hid behind him.

"Harry, dear." Katharina called her. "We came to see how hour room have changed but Severus said you haven't started yet."

"Grandmama." Harry walked to where Katharina was sitting and held her tightly. "I want to go home with you."

"But what about your school?" Narcissa asked.

"Well, if Harry wants to go home with me, then she will." Katharina smiled at the little girl. "But will you tell me why? I thought you like this school."

Harry sobbed; she glanced at Severus who was very silent. "He lied to me."

"If this is about your godfather, then you have to blame me, my girl." William said. "I tell him to wait for another week."

"Really?" Harry looked at both men for confirmation. "Why?"

"Apparently the fall made him forget how to change back to his human form." Lucius kindly explained. "Still, if you want to go home and stay with us…" he stopped and smirked.

Harry hid behind Katharina. "But I can't stay. I've made Severus hurt." She whispered sadly. "He'll hate me."

Black barked, agreeing.

"Well, you have to ask him then." Katharina told her. "He'll be sad if you keep ignoring him." She gently pulled the girl and shoved her to where Severus sat.

Harry shook her head and held to Katharina tightly. "I want to go home now."

"Are you sure?" Katharina sighed; she looked at her family and shrugged her shoulder. "Let's go home then."

Harry held to Katharina's hand tightly and followed her to the door without looking at Severus.

"I'll see you at home, then." Katharina nodded to her family.

"Harry." Severus called, right before she opened the door. "Do you hate me?"

Harry shook her head still refused to look at him.

"If you left, it means that you hate me."

"I don't hate you." Harry sobbed. "I really don't hate you."

"Then why are you leaving?"

Harry turned slightly. "You got hurt because of me. You'll hate me if I stay."

"I don't hate you." Severus sighed. "Come here will you? At least give me a hug."

Harry just stood there motionlessly.

Katharina shook Harry's hand. When the girl looked at her she gave her an encouraging smile and a little push. "Go on, dear."

Harry slowly walked to Severus, her eyes glued to the wounded arm. "I'm sorry, don't hate me, please, I'm sorry."

"I don't hate you, Harry." Severus smiled. "I love you. You're like a daughter to me. I'll never hate you."

"You love me? Really?" Harry's eyes widened with hope. "You'll be my Daddy?"

Severus smiled. "If you allow me."

Harry hugged him tightly. Her small body trembled with sobs. "Daddy, daddy…. I'm sorry, Daddy. It's my fault, Daddy… daddy…"

"That's very touching." Lucius commented, earning a pinch from his wife. "What?"

"Shh…, be quiet."

Severus used his healthy hand to hold the lithe body. "It's not your fault, Harry. It's not your fault." His heart warmed when Harry called him Daddy. 'My little girl.'

"It's not my fault?" Harry looked into the older man's eyes to make sure if he was telling the truth.

"It's not." Severus smiled.

Another barks.

Harry looked at the dog sitting beside Severus' chair. "It's not my fault. It's his fault."

Black barked louder, trying to defend himself.

"It is your fault. You bit my Daddy." Harry frowned. "Bad dog."

Lucius laughed. "Oh, my, it's really funny."

"No, it's not." Severus growled. "Shut up, Black."

The dog gave him a hurt look. 'Fine. I'll be nice just because you like her.'

Harry looked at the wounded hand. "Is it hurt?"

"Not anymore." Severus explained when he saw the doubtful look. "But I can't used it until it fully healed."

Harry nodded with determination. "I'll be your hand, Daddy."

Severus lifted his eyebrow. "Even with Potions?"

Harry frowned and nodded slowly. "Even with Potions."

"Good, you could start this evening." Severus grinned. "Oh, I forgot. I have to take Black for a walk. But my hand…"

"I'll do it, Daddy." Harry said in a small voice, the frowned never left her face.

"Are you sure?"

Harry nodded. "Draco could help me." She turned around but didn't find her fiancé. "Where's Draco?"

"I think he's gone to the Great Hall, dear. It's breakfast time." Narcissa answered. "Have you had your breakfast?"

"Not hungry, Aunt Nisa." Harry sighed. She looked at the dog. "Come on, doggie."

Black barked; he had been eager to have a walk.

"See you later, Grandmama, Grandpapa, Aunt Nisa and Mr. Lucius." Harry walked to the door with the dog following her. After she closed the door, Harry turned to the animagus. "Look, I do this for Daddy, not because I want to, understand."

A bark. Black bared his teeth. 'Yeah, like I care.'

"You have to change back to Sirius, understand." She poked his head.

Black bent his head, showing his confusion. He didn't know any Sirius, though he knew that he was very smart for a dog.

Harry pulled the dog's chain. "Let's go."

When they reached the open, Black broke through from Harry's hold and ran away. The girl's shout only replied by noisy bark. 'Hiehehe, catch me if you can.'

After two rounds circling Hogwarts' ground, Harry had had it enough. She stomped her feet. "That's it. I'm going back." The dog still ran. "Fine. I'll eat all the food then."

The threat got Black's attention. He ran back to where Harry stood, and ran pass her.

"Wait for me." Harry yelled and chased him again.

Ô

"I think she forgot that the dog is her godfather." Lucius said with amusement.

"Well," Narcissa stood up. "I'm going to decorate Harry's room now."

"Not without me, dear." Katharina smiled.

"Of course, Mother." Narcissa rolled her eyes.

"So, what would happen to Harry's godfather?" William asked.

"Well, he's have to stay in that form for a while." Severus answered.

"I do have to say that Harry took it better that I thought she will." William nodded his head.

"Well, kids tend to surprise us." Lucius lightly said.

"Really?" William sneered. "It hard to believe that you still give me that surprise. To take a job here."

Severus coughed.

"I'm not talking about you, Severus."

"Of course, Sir."

"Nothing is wrong with this job, Father." Lucius shrugged his shoulder. "Well, I know that you're not approved of Dumbledore."

William only growled. He summoned two foreign newspapers and ignored the younger wizards.

When Harry returned form her walk, the older wizards and witches noticed that she and he godfather's attitude toward each other hadn't changed. They were ignoring each other at best.

"How's the walk, Harry?" William asked her.

"The weather is wonderful, Grandpa." Harry said; she was still trying to control her breath. "You should've come with us."

William chuckled. "Maybe next time, child. I'm glad to see you're fine now. We have to go now."

"So soon?" Harry cocked her head. "Can't you stay longer, please?"

William smiled. "I'd love to, my girl. But family aren't supposed to come unless there's a very important matter happen. You know that, don't you?"

"Well, write us letter, love." Katharina held her. "If you want us here, just give us a call, okay?"

"Yes, Grandmamma."

"You Grandma and I have decorated your room. We hope you like it."

"Thank you, Aunt Nisa."

"I'll see you at class, Harry. Don't for forget to do your homework."

"Yes, Mr. Lucius."

Harry watched sadly when one by one her family took their leave. She then went back to her room. Her new room took her breath away. "Daddy… daddy…"

"Yes?"

"My room, wow, it's like a princess' room." Harry smiled happily.

Severus frowned. He only saw a room with many satin of different pastel colours hanging around the four-posted bed, and many fresh flowers around the room. But if Harry like it, then, "It's wonderful. Do you like it?"

"I love it, Daddy." Harry smiled brightly.

"Then you have to write letters to your Grandma and Aunt Nisa."

"Yes, Daddy."

"You can do that after lunch. After you write the letter, you'll have to make some Potions for me." Severus decided to teach her some more Potions.

"Yes, Daddy."

"I see that Minty had fixed our lunch. Let's have lunch, then."

"Yes, Daddy."

Severus smiled. Seemed like that were the only words Harry would be saying for some time now.
