Chapter 5

Severus woke up first as usual; he was used to getting up early. He found a naked Harry Potter on top of him, his legs wrapped around Severus. Not letting him go and an arm across his chest. The other one was under his neck as he slept without a pillow. He was that used to them that he didn't use them.

With a sigh he got ready for everything he was going to tell Harry. He was not going to lie to the young man; he was going to tell him the truth. He could still hardly believe that Harry had nullified the compulsions or there magic had more likely.

Severus got up and entered the bathroom, before undressing and getting into the bathroom, before sinking into the bath with a satisfied groan. He began washing himself quietly. Enjoying actually getting to wash him self properly. Something he had not been able to do. Between doing what Dumbledore wanted him to do and what Voldemort wanted him to do he had hardly any free time. And the free time he had been trying to find away to get rid of the compulsions and run for it.

Harry woke up alone and the bed still warm, meaning the man had just left, wanting to take a shower or a bath he got up stretched about. Yawning before he was got up and walked into the bathroom. Only to see Severus still here.

He was going to shut the door, when he heard Severus telling him to "Wait Harry will you come back in here please" said Severus from the bathroom. Who had opened his eyes when the door had opened only to see Harry, he had watched Harry began to leave before shouting him back.

"Yes?" asked Harry cautiously. He didn't have good memories in the bathroom; his uncle had nearly drowned him a good few times, of course in the pretence of washing him. The bathroom was amazing, and you would not think someone like the dark lord would have this kind of bathroom.

It was covered in green and blue mixed together giving it an underwater look. The tiles charmed to look like they were moving; this was one of the best room's in the manor that Severus had seen. Though would not have agreed if he had seen the Dark lord's bathroom.

"Come in" Severus said his eyes' rolling down the young mans body, causing Harry to blush and look down, self consciously. He walked over quietly his hair hanging in his face, it had grown since he was younger and was not used it how long it was yet.

Climbing in he was about to sit at the other end, when Severus wrapped his arm around him and pulling him on his lap. Severus sunk more into the water taking Harry down with him. He gently began washing Harry, making sure he was totally clean. Harry was sitting there content letting Severus do what he wanted.

"I'm going to do your hair now," said Severus.

And Harry let him, trusting the man not to hurt him, Severus knew Harry was abused (He would have to be stupid to not have realized that he was) and knew how to interact with them, after all some of his Slytherins had abusive backgrounds. Half of them were abused because they are refused to take the mark that he also wore on his own forearm.

After washing Harry's hair he used a charm to cut the hair. It would continue cutting the hair until there were no split ends, the hair would disappear as soon as it was cut. It was shoulder length and actually tidy when the charm finished, there were no more knots.

"There we are" said Severus running his hand through Harry's black hair. He could hardly believe how gorgeous Harry was. He was nicer looking than James Potter that was for sure. He didn't have glasses his magic fixed them for him when he was a new born and no one had really noticed.

"Thank you" muttered Harry.

Severus just dropped a kiss on his head; the dark lord just laughed thinking that Severus had administered the potion to make Harry like him, how wrong he was. For the potion was still in his bag, waiting for him to administer it. It had to settle for a day before it was consumed. And it was defiantly not a potion to get him to like Severus; no it would be getting his magic back.

"Come on then let's get dried up" muttered Severus as he and Harry got out of the bath. He dried himself off before going to dry Harry. They walked into the room, before sitting down on a couch.

The couches were royal blue, with snakes on them; they moved about and hissed now and again, the carpet was blood red. The bed was king size and could fit more than three adults on it. It was not a four poster. The place was comfortable. Not somewhere you would expect a dark lord would live.

"Do you know what happened to your parents?" asked Severus sitting down on one of the chairs. Harry himself had sat down on Severus knee. Severus figuring this was the best place to start. Although he knew this was not going to be a pretty conversation.

"Yes" said Harry quietly subdued remembering what had happened.

"Can you tell me?" he asked, he was curious he had to admit he had expected Harry to not remember.

"Voldemort killed my dad then my mum; he then turned his wand on me. But my air elemental stopped him, the green curse twirled around me before flinging back at him he ducked apparating out" said Harry telling Severus as if he remembered it clear as day.

"Do you know what happened after that?" asked Severus. He knew Dumbledore had taken Harry to his aunt and uncle, and also wondered if the headmaster had said anything at all.

"A huge man found me there and then he gave me to that man who told you to give me the potion, he then told me I was too rich and powerful to get in his way and thanked me for making him rich. He also told me that he would one day kill Voldemort and then take what was rightfully his" said Harry.

"Do you want to get back at him for doing what he did to you?" asked Severus curiously.

"Yes" said Harry.

"Do you want to get the man who killed your parents?" he then asked.

"Yes" said Harry again only this time more angry.

"Will you really be able to kill them?" asked Severus who didn't look like he believed what he had heard; he had expected it yes but not as ruthless as he had.

"Of course I will," said Harry as if he were insulted.

"Fine, but I am going to get you taken to Snape manor. I will have to think on how to get you out of here. Then when we meet Voldemort again, I will give you the free shot to do what it is that you want to do" said Severus who looked thoughtful. He just wondered how Voldemort would let him take Harry out of there.
