YES! THE POWER HAS RETURNED!!! We had almost a hurricane over here…wherever here is, anyway, the power was out for almost two days. It was cold and dark (I like the dark) but it was cold, I don't like cold, but I like it more than hot though, anyway, I wanted to cuddle with something because that's what I want to do when it's dark and cold.

Harry sat next to Severus in the Great Hall for breakfast; everyone just thought that Dumbledore was spoiling the Boy-who-lived. He ran his hand up and down Severus' thigh as he ate, seeking revenge for being left hot and bothered.

Having little morals was a good thing Severus decided as he read Harry's mind. "That's not going to work," he whispered in Harry's ear inconspicuously. "My control is better than you think," he smirked and finished his breakfast as if Harry was doing absolutely nothing under the table.

Finally giving up, Harry returned his hand to Severus' knee and finished his breakfast as well. Not caring what anyone else thought, they walked out of the Great Hall hand in hand, ignoring the gasps and whispered that followed them.

Harry made it through his first few classes without incident, but halfway through transfiguration he heard the whispers.

"I wonder what's going on with him and Snape."

"I heard Snape got him pregnant."

"Really? I heard Snape's really his Father."

Soon he couldn't take it anymore and stood, his claws making an appearance. "Shut the hell up," he hissed menacingly, slowly turning to face the whispering teens. "He is not my damn father and I am not bloody fucking pregnant."

More whispers erupted around the room and he yowled rather loudly before bolting out of the classroom, his head pounding from the noise.

"Professor Snape, a word please," McGonagall said in the doorway of Severus' classroom, "it's important," she added when Severus glared at her.

"This better be good," Severus growled and left he classroom, slamming the door behind him. "What is it?" He snapped, his usual temper showing through.

"Harry ran out of class and is hiding in the dungeons, he won't let anyone near him except Mrs. Norris," McGonagall states bluntly and as soon as those words left her lips Severus was practically flying down the hall, his robes billowing behind him.

He found curled in a ball deep in the dungeons with Mrs. Norris guarding him like he was her kitten, batting and hissing at Filch when he got too close. "Out of the way," he snapped and yanked Filch away from his soul mate and Mrs. Norris. Kneeling, he scooped Harry into his arms and the teen curled against his, burying his face in the familiar scent.

Mrs. Norris meowed approvingly at Severus' action and trotted off down the corridor confident that her sergeant kitten was in good hands, Filch following after.

Severus carried Harry to their rooms and sat down on the couch, holding Harry close. "Going to tell me what's wrong?" He asked stroking the teen's hair affectionately. When Harry shook his head he sighed, the teen was having a break down. "Won't or you don't know?"

"I don't know, it's all so much right now," Harry murmured and held tighter to Severus, everything that had happened had just come rushing at him and hit him so fast he didn't absorb it until now.

I know I know, short chapter, blame Monster because that's what I've been drinking while I've stayed up three days straight playing Halo I and II with my brothers and their/my collective joined friends.

Who wants Severus to sing in this story???
