So with out Further ado...Chapter 5

Harry turned around slowly looking for possible hiding spots. The one that struck him as most likely was behind the couch. He made thoughtful noises as he quietly made his way over to the couch.

Leaning over the couch he shouted, "Gotcha!" Only to find that Severus wasn't there.

Harry straightened up now thoroughly puzzled. Casting another cursory look around the room he determined that there was no other possible place for Severus to be and continued into the bedroom.

Feeling increasingly anxious, he quickly looked under the bed, the crib, and behind the bureau and nightstand. There was no sign that anybody had been in the bedroom since that morning. Harry frowned and set off into the bathroom. He proceeded to check in every cabinet and the shower before making a quick exit. The anxiousness from before was quickly becoming fear and as he double checked the common room it became a full out panic.

"Sev!" Harry yelled running between the rooms just be sure. "Sev, come out this isn't funny."

He strained to hear if there was a response. The moment he was sure one wasn't coming he bolted from the room and into the corridor. Scanning up and down it he saw no one coming and ran straight to the

Slytherin common room and started banging on the wall where he knew the entrance to be.

"Open up!" He screamed, beating his fists against the wall. "Draco! Draco, please open the Goddamn door!"

The wall slid open to emptiness and Harry taking this as a sign to come in quickly entered the room.

Draco was sprawled out on the couch with a text book on his lap.

Harry rushed over to the couch, flung himself onto Draco and started sobbing.

"I lost him Dray." Harry sobbed. "He was there one minute and then he was gone."

Draco held his sobbing friend waiting for the sobs to subside.

"Shh, Harry calm down. Now tell me exactly what happened."

"He's gone." Harry moaned miserably.

"Severus?"

Harry managed to glare. "Who else would be gone?"

Draco shrugged. "Are you sure you checked everywhere."

"Yes. I checked in every room at least 10 times."

"Did you check the map?"

Harry gaped. "I'm an idiot, aren't I?"

"Yes," Draco said earning another glare, "But a very cute one."

"Oh shut up." Harry sat up and threw a pillow at his head, but Draco ducked just in time.

Draco stood up then extended a hand to Harry. "Shall we go?"

Harry nodded then quickly took the offered hand and hoisted himself off the couch.

To say Hermione was surprised to see Severus in the Great Hall by himself was an understatement.

"Mina!" said Severus as he ran towards her arms outstretched. Hermione bent over and lifted him off the ground and placed him on the bench next to her.

"What on earth are you doing here?" She asked. "And where's Harry?"

"Lookin." He replied picking up a discarded quill.

Hermione snatched the quill away before he had a chance to protest. "Looking for what?" Severus lunged for the confiscated quill. "Severus, answer me." She said sternly. He stopped reaching for the quill and pouted.

"Give me the feafer." He whined.

"No," came the harsh reply. Hermione was beginning to wish that Harry would just get back.

"Pease." he begged making puppy dog eyes. Normally the look would have gotten him anything but it didn't seem to be working on Hermione.

"Severus William Snape, you tell me why you're here without Harry this instant." She said angrily, before reaching out for him.

Severus started whimpering and backed away from her quickly and fell onto the floor before scurrying under the Ravenclaw table.

Harry was relieved to see that Severus was in the Great Hall with Hermione. But as he watched the two

labeled dots interact he grew more concerned as Severus' dot seemed to jump from what he knew to be

Gryffindor table to Ravenclaw. Draco who had been looking over his shoulder was sharing the same confused expression.

"Come on then." Harry said, stuffing the map into his back pocket.

Harry immediately knew where Severus was. Almost half the students in the hall were attempting to coax him out from under Ravenclaw's table. Spotting Hermione wasn't an easy task, but he eventually found her in the throng of people.

He kneeled down next to her "What happened?" He asked.

"I don't know," she answered truthfully. "One minute he was fine the next he was under this table crying."

Harry frowned. "You're sure you have no idea why?"

She nodded. "I'm glad you're here though, everyone's been trying the hardest to get him out."

Harry nodded then turned his attention to the throng surrounding the table. Standing up to make himself known, he purposefully made his way through the crowd. Finally catching on, his peers left a path to the table. Getting back down onto his knees he gazed under the table at the shaking three year old.

"Sev." He whispered. The little boy didn't seem to hear. Not sure what he was going to do, he crawled under the table and sat in front of him. "Sev," he tried again. This time he got a response.

"Harry," he wailed, flinging himself into Harry's lap, burying his head in Harry's robes. Harry gently rocked the little boy in his arms trying to get him to calm down. Looking up, he saw both Draco and Hermione starring worriedly at them.

"Is he alright?" Hermione asked, worrying her bottom lip between her teeth.

"I don't know." Harry answered truthfully, as he continued to hold the little boy in his arms.

Even hours after the Great Hall incident no one knew why Severus had reacted like he did. Harry had all but given up on ever learning what was wrong and had taken up residence on his couch, when Severus appeared in front of him, with Izzy in a death grip. Harry immediately scooted backwards leaving enough space for Severus to lay down next to him, and helped him up. Severus quickly snuggled into Harry and stuck his thumb in his mouth. Harry chuckled lightly. He half wished Colin and his camera was around to get a picture of this.

"Daddy hates me." Severus said around his thumb. Harry didn't quite know how to respond to the abrupt remark.

"Why do you think that?" asked Harry. He gently hugged the little boy closer.

"He says so." Severus said quietly.

Harry furrowed his brow. "Why does he say that?" He asked carefully not wanting to upset him.

"I'm a disgace."

Harry propped himself up on an elbow. "Do you think that?"

"No." Came the hushed reply. Harry leaned over and kissed the little boys temple.

"Would you like me to read you a story?" Harry asked deciding it was time to change that subject.

"Yes pwease."
