"So, what your trying to tell me is to find my wings, which means that…well…" Harry trailed off. "I think it means that you want me to be like I use to be…right?"

"You almost have it, child." Sashi moved her way back down to Harry's lap and looked up at him. "Before you broke, you were on feet. You need to go beyond walking, and fly."

Harry snorted. "That's just stupid, Sashi! Everyone knows we can't fly! Well, execpt on brooms and there are some spells, but we can't have wings!"

"Oh? I bet you believed snakes couldn't have wings, either. Snakes could never fly. But look at me. What am I?"

"A winged snake…" Harry sat in silence with his snake, just thinking. Then, he asked, "How did you learn to fly?"

"Me? I was born with my wings. I had to learn to fly. Learn to find my wings." Harry looked down at her, waiting for her to continue. When she didn't, he nudged her his hand. She hissed playfully at him. "Want to lose a finger?"

Harry laughed. "You stopped talking. Just making sure that your still alive!"

Sashi hissed playfully at him, again. "Be careful, Harry Potter. You just might find yourself in that lake!"

"Oh really? And your going to do this how?"

Before Sashi could respond, a very familiar voice spread through the grounds.

"POTTER!" Harry winced and turned to see Severus storming toward him, trademark black robes billowing behind him. The look on his usually calm face was murderous. And that made Harry laugh. He wondered what had Snape so upset that he would come looking for him, ready to murder?

Harry suddenly stopped laughing. He had just remembered…

"Potter! What possible excuse can your lack of a brain give you for being out of class?"

Harry gestured to Sashi, then to himself, then threw his arms open, gesturing to the lake, sky, and forest. Severus rolled his eyes.

"I understand that your out here with you snake." Harry chuckled at Sashi telling him to get her name right, not that Severus could understand her angry hisses. Severus glared at Sashi before continuing. "I would like to know why."

Harry shrugged. He then scooted over and patted the rocks surface, offering a seat to Severus.

Severus was, for a lack of a better word, shocked. Harry Potter, son of James Potter, the number one person on Severus 'Most Hated' list, was being civil. In fact, he was being nice. Severus looked at the boy, speechless, before he sat down in the offered seat. They were silent for quiet awhile, before Severus cleared his throat.

"So…Harry." Harry glanced over at the man to tell the man he was listening, and started to stroke Sashi. "Are you going to tell me why your skipping class?"

Harry looked up at him, then moved his hand as if was writing. Severus raised an eyebrow and mad a gesture as if he was using a wand. Harry looked at him, confused, and the man gave Harry an evil looking smile.

"You're a wizard, remember? Or did you little brain walk off again?

Harry glared angrily at the smirking man sitting next to him. He then whipped out his wand and started to write in the air.

'Well, sir,' it read. 'I've been thinking a lot lately. Haven't been sleeping too well.' Harry yawned as he wrote this, as if to prove his point. 'I thought it would be better if I fell asleep somewhere besides class.'

Severus waited for the green, shimmering words to disappear. "So your tired. I doubt that is all that is keeping you from going to class. Am I right?" He looked into Harry's emerald eyes, until Harry tore his eyes away from the darker eyes. Severus smirked to himself, thinking, 'One point to me. None for Potter.'

Harry sat, amazed that Severus was reading his emotions like a book. He could feel the dark eyes staring at him so he raised his wand and wrote, 'Yes.'

"Ah…So, tell me. What else is weighing on your mind."

Harry didn't answer him for a long time. The two men sat in silence, staring out at the lake. Severus shifted his gaze up to the looming castle he has called home. When he looked back at Harry, he had written his response.

'I don't understand. Why all this happened to me…' Harry wasn't looking at him, but down at the ground, looking as if he a four year old boy, guilty of making mess.

Severus, for the second time that day surprised with his feelings, felt bad for him. Driven with compassion that he never knew he possessed, he touched Harry's shoulder, getting his attention. Harry's green eyes cried out in despair, but there rest of him looked calm. "Harry, it's not your fault in any way. Nothing that you could have done wrong could have brought this on to you. No one deserves what you went though…Especially you." Harry let one tear fall before he stood, dropping Sashi in the process, and running off toward the castle.

Sashi hissed worriedly in the direction Harry ran off in. Severus sighed, scooped Sashi up, and stood. "Well Sashi, it's just you and me till later. He'll come to my office tonight." Severus headed in the direction of the castle, listening to Sashi hissing.

Unknown to Severus, Sashi was hissing threats at Harry, saying what she was going to do to him for dropping her.. When she had calmed down, she hissed softly, "My poor child…Please find your wings soon…"
