A Father's Love

Chapter 6: Harry's Power

The next day, Severus was not back to teaching school. Harry, Draco, and Ron were up for an adventure.

"Harry are you sure you want to do this?" Ron asked. "I mean Professor Snape can be really mean I heard. And why would you want to visit him?"

"Ron I am going to tell you something, but you can't tell anyone else okay…?" Harry started.

"Harry we promised we wouldn't tell anyone." Draco pleaded.

"Drey I know and I think we can trust Ron… right Ron?"

"Yeah you can trust me." he replied quickly.

"Snape is my father." Harry said quickly and quieter then usual as they were walking to the hospital wing and there were students in the halls now and again.

"HE IS???" Ron whispered loudly.

"SHHH!" both Harry and Draco said quickly. "And yes he is." Harry finished.

The boy's reached the hospital quickly after that. Harry was the first in and he found his father had been un-paralyzed and restrained. "Severus I will not let you leave." Remus was saying again when the three boys moved in.

"Boys!" Severus said.

"What?" Remus said. "The pain medication must be making you hallucinate."

"NO! Bloody hell Remy the boys are here. If you would bloody well turn around at look at them!" Severus snapped back.

Remus turned glaring at the three friends. "I think it would be best if you go now." he stated kindly but firmly.

"No." Harry said.

"What?"

"I said no. He is my father and I bloody hell have a right to see him." Harry glared up at the man. "I've been worried ever since I saw you attack him last night in the bedroom and I want to see my father. Now." Harry had crossed his arms over his chest daring the werewolf to say 'No' to him.

"Very well, but Draco and Ron must go. Severus is not in the right state of mind, for visitors." Remus stated crossing his arms mirroring Harry's expression and posture.

"Fine." Harry said in a voice that could very well match any wife's to a husband who was ordering her around. He slit his eyes just to make his point clear.

"See you later Remy." Draco said dragging Ron out of the infirmary.

"Now if YOU will excuse me I want to see MY father…" Harry said brushing past Remus to see his father for one of the first times in the past four days. "How are you?"

"Well I am tied up and in a lot of pain… other then that I am bloody well peachy." Severus said angrily over the boy's shoulder. "But really I will be okay once I am untied."

"Where does the pain come from?" Harry asked intrigued.

"My arm… it's a link I have with Voldermort because I used to serve him…"

"Hold still…" Harry said, when Severus glared at the boy for the obvious, Harry just grinned uncomfortably. Harry placed his hands over the dark-mark that was exposed on Sev's arm. Each hand lay flat as Harry closed his eyes and began glowing green much like the color of his eyes. Severus started whimpering in more pain now then he had ever received from the dark-mark before. His fist clenched and the light around Harry grew darker.

"Get him away from him now Remus before something happens!" Poppy welled at the still figure. Remus started to get closer to the boy but the closer he got the more pain he felt. Severus Started screaming with the intense pain and Harry's Aura grew to deeper shades of green as the screaming increased. Harry was starting to wince in the face when he let his hands drop from his sides and fell to the floor panting.

Severus's pain was gone completely. "Harry, what did you do?"

"I took the pain away so you don't have to feel it anymore." Remus undid the ropes holding down Severus with a quick swish of the wand.

"But, all that pain I felt? What was that."

"I don't know, but I felt it too… maybe it was all the other pains going away." Harry said.

Severus looked at the boy and then to his arm… his mark was gone… "Remy, I'm free." he said so quietly that Remus wasn't sure if he had heard the pale man right or not. "It's gone!" Harry passed out on the floor after giving his father a quick grin. "HARRY!"

Poppy levitated the boy to the bed next to Severus's and checked the boy out using several spells. "The only thing that is wrong with his is that he is deadly tired. Let him sleep a few hour make him eat some dinner and send him of to bed I would." She finished.

Severus was kept in the infirmary until Poppy was done poking and prodding his arm and the rest of his body. "You look fine. You can leave now." She told him. Remus had left the hospital to help supervise students during the regular study time. Severus picked up his son and carried him to the Gryfindor dormitories where he let Draco and Ron finish taking Harry up to his bed.

After dinner, Severus was pleased to find Remy in their bedroom. Severus had been overcome by the feeling of freedom when his own son had removed the Dark-mark from his body. Severus like any good lover had forgiven his for keeping him where he belonged.

"Sev I..." Remy started but was cut off when Sev grabbed the side of his head bringing their lips together freely without guilt for the very first time in the relationship. Severus backed Remus up against the wall deepening the kiss bringing on a whole new level, one the lovers had never had before. A level in which Severus had never experienced with anyone else before either.

The werewolf let out a moan as his lover pressed his body against the hard dungeon wall and pressed his thigh between Remy's legs. Remy broke the kiss to look at his lover; the black eyes were softer now. They had both felt pain only that afternoon but his body had forgotten it and so had Remy's.

"Thank you." Severus said. Remy kissed him again just a quick peck but still a kiss. The man started unbuttoning the man's robes from the color down. He was still wearing his collared and long sleeve form fitting robes with far to many buttons. Remy growled at the buttons, but it didn't help him get them undone quickly. Severus had lifted Remy's Greek fisherman shirt off and was now just holding his lover's hips.

"I hate buttons…" Remus growled. He finally took out his want and vanished all the buttons from the robe and it fell open exposing Sev's chest. Remy had to move in closer to maneuver the robe off of his lover's arms and Sev took the chance to orally assault Remy's earlobe. Remy nearly buckled with the pleasure, letting out a loud moan and forming fist in the robe still covering his lover's arms. "ohh Sev" he panted.

The two men moved to the bed and made love for what seemed the first time in their relationship.

The following morning, Severus woke before sunrise and walked down to the lake to watch the sunrise. He ate breakfast at the teacher's table and he began his first day of teaching that year.

With the first year Gryfindors and Ravenclaws in the same class he felt obligated to acknowledge Harry in some way… maybe it was just the fact that he was still on emotional high that he announced to the class that his son was in class or maybe it was pure stupidity whichever it caused a ruckus in the class and causing quite a stir in the school that day. By lunch all of Gryfindor and Slytherin knew about the boys parentage. Albus did not think that was a good idea, however the truth would have come out eventually and now father and son were free to have that relationship in the halls between classes and during the weekends without having to act while the relationship was just starting.
