DISCLAIMER: I do not own Harry Potter

Chapter 7: Rrrrreallllly...

The next morning...

'I don't give a damn what the stranger has to say about Harry's condition, I can find a cure myself' thought Severus as he stared at his own face a long time in the mirror. Mornings in the dungeon seemed dark and gloomy, a comfort that Severus used to find a friendly atmosphere in. This morning, it felt empty and dark. As would anyone who had feelings restless inside them.

It was a competition of who would look away first, the fiery new Severus who felt old passion of new fires brewing inside him, or the Severus that never cared for anyone. The old way way so much easier before this furry nuisance. Should he want to be with the boy. No...Harry.

His new caring condition left his face paler than usual from staying up late at night, wonder what would come of his new exploits. Wondering whether he should care. His heart ached with wondrous yet completely preposterous feelings.

'Maybe I should have come to my senses long ago...'

Ten long minutes passed before "Why must everything be this annoying, can't these thoughts let me be?", came out of the mans' mouth.

"Grrrrrrr"

"Potter it's very rude to not announce your presence especially in someone else's quarters" said Snape with an old drawl to his voice.

Severus looked behind him to see Potter ambling off to his front quarters. Severus quiclky washed his face in the basin before following with a towel in hand. Then walking out to the front room drying off his face, he came out of the soft material to find a certain long-bearded old man before him.

"Dumbledore, what brings you to my quarters so early in the morning?"

The headmaster smiled that smile you have when you first greet someone in the mornings, "Good morning Severus, I just wanted to tell the both of you that I have found the cure to Harry's...ah, ailment I think is the correct word here"

Severus looked at the lion who was currently looked amiably at the two of the wizards.

"Well what have you found out then?"

Dumbledore chuckled and walked over to a chair by the doorway and seated himself in it.

"You know in my old age, standing around is comfortable, but in a chair I feel as though I could fall asleep, thats one of the advantages of being an old man you see, you can sleep anywhere you like"

"The cure Headmaster, you were talking of a cure"

"There is no words worth saying if you can not find the time to say them, I must say we have plenty of time to talk about them now, whats wrong with morning pleasanties? But yes you're right I came to tell you of an old potion that I found out from a friend in Austrailia, the Reverso Incorporio potion, takes a day and a bit to brew but that isn't the problem with the potion"

"Whats wrong with it?"

"Rrrrrr" hummed Harry from his new position of lying of the stone floor.

"The problem is, Harry will be bed-ridden for two weeks, this potion will take all of his strength and the newcomer is to help Harry through the pain and weakness, now I know you two have grudgingly come to a truce in your relationship and I expect you to treat this newcomer with the same respect as you would each other" Dumbledore said with a twinkle-meter of 7/10.

'Like blopdy hell I will, I'll brew this potion and take care of Pot-Haaaaarrrrrr—Potter, It's Potter' Severus thought to himself with a smirk of sorts playing around his mouth.

Rauma: Again I'm sorry about the so long wait... -bonks head- shoulda had a v8...
