Chapter 4
Harry thought for a moment of the question Snape just asked him and then replied,
"Well I don't know but I'm sure we can manage when the time comes. But let's not think about that right now. Just enjoy our time together before the Welcoming Feast. You realize how nosy the castle is going to be now that the students are going to be back" Snape groaned when he thought back to all the quiet nights he and Harry had spent by the lake or just walking slowly through the halls of the empty school. Now those nights were going to be interrupted with loud and obnoxious students ranging from the 1st years, so small and intimidated, to the bold and arrogant 7th years.
"God I loved our time together this summer. It was really quiet and relaxing," Snape muttered as he leaned his head on Harry's shoulder. Harry closed his eyes but opened them abruptly when Snape cried out in pain.
"Is it the dark mark?" Harry asked as he moved his husband's hand away from his left arm. Snape nodded as Harry began to examine the dark mark. But as soon as Harry touched the dark mark, he fainted.
"Why isn't Severus reporting to my side?" Voldemort spat. The entire ring of Death Eaters winced except for Bellatrix Lestrange. She stepped forward and answered confidently,
"Snape has gone into hiding and we don't know where he is. But we do have a source that said he had married that fucking Potter brat." Voldemort sneered as he looked at all of his followers.
"Well it seems that dear Sevvy has betrayed us. HA! He's going to be one of the first to die when I make my move. As for Potter we will torture the brat by making him watch his dear husband's slow and terrible death. Muggle style."
Harry gasped and shot up, tears streaming down his face.
"Shhh luv I'm here. Whats wrong?" Snape whispered as his young husband clung to him. Harry was shaking worse than in Dumbledore's office.
"Voldemort plans on killing you in a slow and horrible muggle way. He's going to make me watch it before killing me. Sev I can't lose you or our baby. Not with losing Ron and Hermione" Snape rocked Harry back and forth slowly, comforting him as he did so for the next hour. Finally Harry was calmed down and then it was time to go to the Welcoming feast. Harry placed a small kiss on Snape's cheek as Snape wrapped an arm around Harry's waist. Together they walked out of the dungeon home and went to meet the beginning of their future.
