Severus felt his heart skip a beat as he ran towards the edge with his wand raised. 'Please God! Don't let him die!' He slid to a stop at the edge and was about to scream a spell to save his ward... His son. But as he looked down he noticed it was too late, there laying in a crumpled heap was the boy he has come to love.

Severus stumbled back as a great sadness took over his body, he slowly fell to the ground as he whispered, "No... It's not time!" He quickly shook his head as a small wisp of hope came into his mind. He stood and ran on adrenaline as he made his way to the child. When he reached him he quickly threw diagnose spells to see if he was still alive. The haunting words "Dead" floated in the air, but it couldn't be! He wouldn't allow it to be! Severus in anger punched his fist through the word making each letter float off into the sky.

Severus felt hot tears roll down his cheeks like a waterfall as he screamed charms and spells to try to save his boy. But nothing was helping, he was still laying there in a motionless heap. He dropped his wand and fell to his knees to pull the boy into his arms to rock him one last time.

"I'm so sorry." Those words flew around his head as he felt a silent darkness take over his body.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Severus slowly opened his eyes and immediately realized someone was tugging at his sleeve. He looked over to see who would dare wake him from his peaceful slumber only to see a tiny boy with bright emerald eyes. He quickly sat up in confusion and immediately realized he was in the Hospital Wing.

"Poppy!" Severus yelled as he continued to stare at the little boy beside him.

The plump little lady hurried out of her office at his call, "Oh it's good to see you're finally awake, Severus."

Severus only answered with a grunt. "Where's H-Harry?" He blinked his eyes to keep the few tears from leaking out.

Poppy only smiled and picked up the little boy then said, "Why Severus he's right here."

Severus shook his head in confusion, "But that's just a baby Poppy... Surely you're not daft."

Poppy gave him a glare as she snapped, "I am not daft Mr. Snape! Albus said he would explain everything when you are feeling well enough to go to his office."

After hearing that he immediately threw the covers off his slim body and began his journey to the door only to be stopped by Poppy.

"Severus, I think someone wants to go with you." Poppy announced as she smiled down at the little boy who was trying to get out of her hands.

Severus smirked and held out his hand for the boy, "Indeed. Come then, Harry."

The little boy flew out of his captive's hands and leached onto the man's fingers. As they started out the room Harry turned and gave the lady and little smile and a wave, "Bye, bye!"

Poppy chuckled then turned to the bed to change the blankets.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Harry shyly looked up at the tall man as they slowly made their way down the long hallway. This man seemed very nice, well scary as in appearance but kind of nice at the same time.

'He has a cape on like Superman!' Harry said as he looked at the long robes billowing behind Severus in awe. 'Maybe he's a superhero! I wonder what he will do if I ask him...?' Harry quickly looked at the floor when the man looked down at him.

Harry slowly looked back up at the man and asked in a shy, small voice, "My names 'Arry."

Severus nodded his head as he looked down at the child, "I know, I'm your guardian. My name is Severus."

His guardian? Like a guardian angel... His name must be Severus because he never heard any superhero that was like a guardian angel.....

"What kind of powers do you have?" Harry asked shyly as he stared at him with wide eyes.

Severus abruptly stopped and looked down at the little child, "What do you mean?"

Harry immediately lowered his eyes and shook his head, "Never mind.. Y-you don't have to tell me."

'Oh God is he going to cry?' Severus thought as he stared at the little boy rubbing his eyes, "No I will tell you if you explain to me what you mean."

This got a big smile out of Harry as he whipped his head up and began explaining about how Superman could fly and had super strength, then how Spider Man can swing from buildings using webs because he was bit by a spider. Then Harry asked, "So what power do you have?"

'He think's I'm a superhero?' Severus just stared at the little boy then said, "I can use magic and I am a Potions Master."

Harry's jaw dropped much to Severus' amusement. "No way! Can you teach me?"

Severus smiled at his enthusiasm then said, "I don't have to, you already have the ability to do magic. As you grow up I can teach you how to brew potions but not now."

Harry was basically jumping up and down in excitement, "Thank you!!! So we're wizards?"

Severus couldn't help but laugh at the little boys dramatic excitement. "Yes we are wizards."

Harry still had a smile on as he looked down the hall and breathed a, "Wow."

Severus smiled and shook his head, "Come little one we must visit the Headmaster."

Harry nodded his head and quickly leached onto his hand again making Severus smile as he felt his heart sew itself back together again.

'I just can't believe my boy's still alive... As a young child no less.' He smiled down at the messy black haired child as they continued down the hall.
