"Harry, wake up. Come on its time to go down to breakfast," Hermione whispered.

Harry wrinkled his nose in confusion. He stretched and tried to open his eyes. The world was blurry as he squinted at who he hoped was Hermione. "Hermione?" he croaked his throat was raw and sore from all the crying he did during the night. The events from last night hit him like a punch to the gut. Harry fell back down on the couch and searched for his glasses desperately.

"Here you go." Hermione put his glasses in his hand much to his relief. Hermione sat down next to him and waited for him to calm down. She rubbed his back trying her best to comfort him while he gathered his wits which was much more difficult than he would like to admit. "Harry what happened to you last night? And why are you sleeping on the couch?"

"Snape gave me detention for messing up in class yesterday. I washed cauldrons. There was at least twenty and he said that I would do five a night for the next four days. But I can't go back Hermione. I just can't." Harry started shaking. Once he started talking it was hard to stop. There was no way he could back to the dungeons and be alone with Snape. He would breakdown like he did last night. His breathing became ragged the more he thought about it. How was he supposed to get out of detention? Snape would never believe that he sick. He became lightheaded and his heart beat quickened.

"Harry you have to calm down," Hermione continued to rub his back. "Now tell me what happened. You're so incredibly shaken up."

Harry took a few deep breath, steadying his breathing and heart beat. He looked up at Hermione and took one final deep breath. "Snape kissed me."

Hermione's hand stopped in the middle of his back, he heard her gasp. "Harry!" She screamed earning them the attention of the whole common room. Hermione balked at the attention and lowered her head and whispered. "What happened?"

"I fell asleep while I was cleaning the last cauldron and Snape came by when I was waking up. I decided to pretend I was sleeping." Harry paused remembering Snape's warm embrace, holding him close to his chest. He wanted to be held in his arms again. Nothing calmed him down like being next to Snape, but nothing in the world made him more nervous than being next to the older man. "He started speaking to me. He said that I awoken emotions and memories with my confession. He also said that I have my mother's eyes and that he could never say no to her eyes. That's when it hit me when he was telling me all those things. Snape's in love with my mother."

Hermione enveloped him in a tight hug. His breath escaped him as Hermione pressed him to her. She wasn't going to let go any time soon.

"There you two are. I thought I would never find you." Ron stopped short next to Hermione. His brow wrinkled and he chewed on his bottom lip. Harry knew he wanted to ask what was going on, but he didn't want to interrupt the moment.

Harry reluctantly let go of Hermione. It was nice to get everything off his chest. "What happened to you last night mate? When we turned around you were no where to be found." Ron took a seat next to Hermione. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer to him. She leaned into his shoulder waiting for Harry to explain to Ron.

"Snape gave me detention last night."

Ron's face turned red as his knuckles turned white. "That greasy bastard. If he was going to give you detention he should have given it to you during class. Why wait till after dinner to do it?" Harry would have sworn that steam was coming out of Ron's ears. He smiled at his friends concern for him. It made him feel calmer the longer he was able to be with them.

"And he kissed me." Harry waited for the explosion he thought would come with his words. Nothing happened.

Ron sat next to Hermione in silence and out of nowhere stood and started heading for the portrait. "I'm going to punch his lights out," Ron raged. Hermione and Harry rushed after Ron. Hermione caught up to him first and clung to his arm.

"Ron you can't do that." Hermione dragged him back to the couch and sat him down. Harry stood in front of Ron in case he started to leave again.

"Why not? Harry I know you love him, but it's not right." Ron crossed his arms over his chest and slumped on the couch. For now he was surrendering. Harry didn't know how that would last when he saw Snape.

"It's all right Ron. I pushed him away and ran out. He's only using me as a substitute for my mother anyway. I can never get involved with him if that's the reason he wants to be with me. I won't do that to myself or him it's not fair to either of us. No matter how much I love him. I have to let him go." Harry was surprised by his own words. Letting Snape go was something he was sure he would never do. The circumstance's he was facing made him rethink everything. Even if by some miracle he was able to be Snape's lover he wouldn't know for sure if it was because he was in love with Harry or because he reminded Snape of his mother.

"I'm so sorry Harry." Hermione looked up at him with such sadness in her eyes that it tore at his heart.

"I'm sorry too. But maybe this will let you move on and find someone new," Ron said.

"Ron!" Hermione admonished.

"It's okay Hermione." Harry knew that Ron was only looking out for his best interests.

They started walking to the portrait to go down to breakfast. "How am I supposed to serve three more detentions with him?" Harry asked eyes wide.

"Maybe you could ask him to let you off," Hermione suggested.

"Oh, come on Hermione you know Snape would never do that especially for Harry." Ron scoffed.

"Well he might feel uncomfortable with the whole situation and not want Harry to come either."

While Hermione and Ron fought over what might happen, Harry started back away from the entrance. It was too early to see Snape. He barely made the decision to let him go now he had to see him.

Hermione looked to the side and found him backing away still. "Harry you have to eat something."

"No I think I'll go take a shower instead." Harry turned around and ran to his dorm with Hermione and Ron calling after him. Harry didn't stop until he was in his shower with the water pounding on his back.

Harry didn't think about anything the whole time he was taking a shower or dressing for the day. He let his body move on its own. By the time he was done it was time to go down to potions. Every step took more effort. The closer he got to the dungeons the more the scene from the last night played in his mind. Every time he closed his eyes he saw Snape's face causing his heart to break all over again.

He finally made it to the door of his potions class. Behind it was the man that he loved and had to give up. Harry opened the door and found Hermione and Ron sitting at the back, the furthest they could get away from Snape without actually leaving the class room. He went over to them and sat down.

Hermione gave him an encouraging smile and squeezed his hand as Snape swept into the classroom with his robes billowing behind him. Harry's heart ached and his throat closed up with unshed tears, somehow he managed to keep himself in check as class began.

They started working on their potions and Snape walked around the classroom making sure everything was going well. He made snarky comments to some of the students who weren't doing the potions correctly. He said nothing to Harry as he passed him. Harry would have sworn that Snape lingered behind him, but chalked it up to his imagination.

The second time Snape made his rounds he spoke to Harry. "Mr. Potter I need to see you after class." Harry tensed at the order. He almost dropped his vial full of his completed potion.

He nodded in response not trusting his voice. Snape continued his rounds as Harry put down his potions and sat down heavily on his seat.

"Harry, are you okay?" Hermione asked as she put down her potion and came up beside him.

"I'm fine, but I can't stay."

"Then leave as soon as class ends," Ron said stirring his potion counter clock wise.

"I'll do that."

"Harry you have to face him some time," Hermione said going back to her potion and placing a top on the vial.

"Not today. I can't. And I won't show up for detention either." There was nothing that Hermione said that could make him change his mind.

As soon as class was dismissed Harry left with Hermione and Ron by his side. Hermione wasn't happy with him disobeying a Professor's orders. He couldn't listen this time. He didn't know what would happen if he was left alone with Snape again, but he didn't want to find out. He wasn't sure if he could say no again. His strength might give out and he didn't want to give in. Harry didn't look back as he heard Snape call his name in anger. "Mr. Potter you better get back here right now. You'll have to do more in detention tonight if you continue walking." He kept walking, barely managing to make it out of the dungeons. His entire being wanted to go back down to Snape; he refused and continued on with the day.
