About this chapter: In this chapter Harry has a bit of a break down , we meet the wolf (sort of) and the start of SNARRY

Chapter 3

Harry stared quietly fascinated by his reflection. He knew it was him but it was as if he was staring at someone completely different. He watched as his reflection smiled happily at him. That confused him. He wasn't smiling; in fact he could feel the frown frozen on his face. His reflection started speaking.

"Nice to finally meet you"

The smile grew bigger. Harry tried to move away to avoid his reflection but couldn't get his body to comply. He watched as his reflection raised a hand and motioned no with his finger.

"You've been avoiding me all week. No matter how many times I've tried to call you, you ignored me!"

Harry tried speaking but nothing came out. His lips were frozen in a frown.

"You need to stop fighting me and stop avoiding the mirrors"

Harry felt the panic settle in. For the whole week that had followed the accident, Remus tried to prepare him and he made it a point to avoid looking at himself. He was afraid of what he might have seen. He was afraid of losing the one thing that he had of his mother. His green eyes.

"Is that all?"

Harry realized he had gotten too lost in his thoughts. His reflection shrugged his shoulder and motioned for Harry to lean closer. When he tried and failed his reflection laughed.

"We're stuck together now so we can compromise. You stop avoiding me and you can keep your eyes"

I can keep them?

He watched as his reflection nodded.

"Of course, but there is one more thing you need to see."

Harry head was spinning with fear and confusion. It was the first time he notice how hot his body felt and everything seem to be tingling. He watched as his reflection disappeared and felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked to find the headmaster staring at him. He seemed worried and actually confused.

"Harry?"

He looked back at where his reflection was at and came to see a black haired wolf with bright green eyes. Harry jumped back and let out a scream that left his throat feeling raw. He fell backwards and buried his face into his hands.

I'm really a wolf? No….no…..NO!

It's all a bad dream!

It has to be…

Severus Snape stared at the curled up ball that was Harry Potter. He heard as the boy's godfathers call out to him in a panic. He watched frozen in place as they approach him but Potter`s voice stopped them in mid-step. Severus felt his heart sink as the cries and pleas escaped the small ball that sat in the middle of the headmaster`s office. Speaking of the headmaster. Severus observed the headmaster quickly. He wasn't use to seeing him so lost, no so confused.

Severus shifted slightly and watched quietly as Lupin and Black did their best to calm Potter down with no success. Severus took a few steps forward and stopped in front of the crying boy.

"Potter enough! Stop crying, it's very unbecoming that the savior of the wizarding world can sit here and weep like a baby"

Snape knew that saying that was a bit cruel but he couldn't stand the crying anymore.

"What the hell is wrong with you? You can't be that heartless!"

Snape raised an eyebrow but didn't answer.

"Professor I-I-I didn't mean to- to come after you. I - I don't know, no control ….. The wolf …. I'm sorry"

Snape looked down at Harry as he seemed to sink deeper into himself. Severus sighed loudly then kneeled in front of Harry. He placed his right hand on top of the boys head.

"You had no control right? Then why are you apologizing?"

He snapped his hand back to his chest when Potter raised his head and golden orbs stared back at him. Potter blinked and he couldn't help but flinch slightly. He watched as the golden eyes look around him and new tears poured down his face.

"Potter I can't imagine what you're going through but crying isn't going to solve anything. Now wipe those tears away and stand up"

Snape mentally slapped himself. How can I try to comfort him? He has a family just get up and walk out.

He couldn't move, Potter just stared at him crying. He frowned and again moved his right hand but this time to wipe away the tears from Harry`s face. He stood and offers his hand which to his surprise Potter grasp immediately. He pulled him up and nodded. He held Potter's hand longer then it was necessary and when he let go Harry held it tightly.

Severus Snape stared dumbfounded. He`s holding my hand?

Potter held on tightly and wiped the tears again from his face with the back of his sleeve. Snape watched as Lupin and Black bombarded the boy with questions and Harry slowly and still stammering gave them answers. Snape had no choice but to watch as Harry still had his hand in a death grip.

The questioning seemed to die down and the office got completely quite. Lupin and Black stared at the hand harry was holding on to. Lupin was completely confused and Black was upset.

"Feeling better Potter?" Snape frowned slightly as Harry let go of his hand. He let his arm fall to his side and clutched his hand trying to hold in the warmth that was there a few moments ago.

Harry closed his eyes and smiled brightly.

"Yes …. Thank you "

When Harry opened his eyes Snape couldn't help but gasp. The golden orbs where being washed away by a sea of green. He turned around as Black shouted excitedly about his eyes returning. He looked at the Headmaster who sat at the desk with a smile on his face and a raised eyebrow.

"What? "

The headmaster smiled and shook his head.

"Nothing Severus ….. Thank you"

This was one of those very rare moments when he wanted to stick out his tongue at the headmaster.

"Right well if am needed I'll be down in my rooms"

Severus left feeling someone staring at him but refused to look back. If he had he would have seen Harry Potter savior of the wizarding world frown slightly in his direction.
