Serenity: To all my readers out there I am sorry for the time it took to release this chapter. My computer crashed, and I had to get it fixed.

Harry sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair before looking over to the dog and with a wry smile he began his story.

"I was nervous when first got on the Hogwarts Express, because I didn't know what to expect. But then I meet Ron and we became fast friends. Once we arrived here at Hogwarts I was in awe of what my eyes were seeing and for the first time in my life I was happy. Then Ron and I were sorted into Gryffindor. The first few weeks were hard for me as I was in an unfamiliar place. Not to mention that every time I entered a room everyone would start whispering and I had no idea why. Then your master seemed to hate me the moment he saw me." Harry sighed as he looked at the dog.

"It hurt you know, to have someone hate me without even getting to know me. Ron's brothers Fred and George found out that I was upset, and they took to comforting me. We grew very close after that and I was happy for the first time in my life. Our relationship soon changed though when they pulled me into an empty classroom. They confessed that they were in love with me and wanted to be more than just friend. I was so happy that I said yes and that's when I had my first kiss. We grew so much closer throughout the last few years and they taught me so much about love, but at the beginning of this year they seemed so distant. I tried everything to find out what was wrong, or if there was something I did to make them mad at me."

Tears were flowing out of Harry's eye as the pain filled him again. Severus could not sit there and watch the boy cry. Carefully Severus approached the boy; letting his instincts to take over Severus's long tongue came out slowly licking the tears away. Harry blinked only to realize that his new friend was trying to console him. The young wizard threw his arms around the dog as he sobbed out the rest of his story.

"I quickly found out why they were so distant from me. I had asked them to meet me in private. I had asked them were they were so distant. You know what they said? They told me that I was now too old for their tastes and that they could no longer love me. Why would they do that? Why would they take me as their lover if they weren't serious about me? I loved them so much." Severus whined softly as Harry continued to cry.

Once the boy had stopped crying Severus pulled away gently to look at him. Seeing the pain in the young wizard's eyes and the tear tracks on his face the man swore that he would get revenge on the twins and he would enjoy every moment of it.

Harry smile at the dog. "Thank you for listening to what I had to say, even if you're just a dog I feel like you really understand me." Severus barked wagging his tail causing the boy to giggle lightly. "I think I better get going before anyone realizes I'm not in my bed." Harry stood up and made his way to the door before turning back to look at the dog. "Goodnight."

Once Severus was sure the boy was gone he transformed back. He strode over to the door that connected to his private rooms. Once inside he made his way over to his own lab to start on part of his revenge against the twins. They would regret the day that they hurt and used Harry.

When Harry woke up the next morning he felt better than he had in a long time. He hadn't realized that just talking to his new friend about what had caused him to try and end his life could make him feel like this. He wondered what he would feel like if he went and spoke to his potions professor about what had happened because even though the dog seemed to understand what he was saying; Professor Snape could do so much more.

Harry decided that he would try and approach the man and he hoped that it wouldn't make things worse. He rose from his bed to get ready for the day ahead. Once Harry was dressed he made his way to the great hall only to stop just inside the doorway.

The men his still cared for even after what they had done, Fred and George, were sitting with a young first year he didn't know kissing and touching the young boy. Harry snapped, anger coursed through his veins he would not allow another to go through what he was now going through.

The hall went silent when magic burst throughout the room causing everyone to look at the source and what they saw was fear inducing. Harry's eyes were glowing the color of the kill curse and magic was visually circling the raven make him look dangerous.

Everyone in the hall stilled hoping to not gain the attention of the angry and powerful wizard. But Harry knew who he was going after but halfway through his approach his new friend was blocking his path.

"Move." Harry growled staring down at the dog.

But the dog did not move instead he crouch into a defense position and growled right back.

"I don't want to hurt you please move. You know who I am after and why.

The dog Severus nodded his head that he did indeed know but he also knew that if he allowed the young wizard to attack the twins now Harry would be expelled, and he could not allow that to happen. He would help the boy get his revenge just not this way. Without further thought Severus rushed forward tackling the boy to the ground knocking the young wizard out in the process.

Severus licked the boy's cheek in apology but he knew that once Harry was awake and calm Severus would reveal himself and explain why he had done what he did. Severus looked over at the head table to see Minerva coming and he allowed her to pick up the boy and together they made their way to the Hospital Wing.

Once inside Minerva laid the boy on one of the many bed and Poppy began scan the boy.

"Harry will be fine, but he probably won't wake until tomorrow. He will feel weak but that is expected after such a display of magic. But I want him to stay here for the night just in case." Feeling relieved Severus followed Minerva out once she was out of sight he transformed back into his human form he would return later tonight when Poppy was asleep but for now he had classes to teach.
